The result of the discussion was: merge. ✗plicit 01:56, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, container category with only two subcategories and it would be more intuitive to find these subcategories directly under Category:Jainism. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:05, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus. ✗plicit 03:21, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article, already in Category:Dutch geographers. Flemish is ambiguous - this is a 17th century person. Rathfelder (talk) 10:43, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, the only article in this category is about someone emigrating to the Dutch Republic at the age of 3. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The category was underpopulated. Thanks for noticing! Fixed. Nomination can be withdrawn. With more than 5 articles and 1 (also well-populated) subcategory, this is certainly not a WP:SMALLCAT! gidonb (talk) 14:22, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom or alt merge to Category:Belgian geographers. Use of the word Flemish is highly ambiguous and dependent on the period considered, and also loaded in regards to the Flemish ethnicity. This results in mixing too different things. Place Clichy (talk) 00:29, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete People who lived before 1830 should not be categorized as Belgian.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:04, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Mercator, Ortelius and others are routinely described as Flemish: actually, these two are often described as the most important of the 16th and 17th century Flemish School of Cartography[1]. So a well-established, common term. Fram (talk) 15:25, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The fact that it is commonly used does not stop it being ambiguous. Rathfelder (talk) 16:16, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then suggest a rename to a less ambiguous name (e.g. including a date range), don't delete it. I don't see the need for a rename either, but at least that would preserve the actual, common, grouping as used by knowledgeable authors and institutions. Fram (talk) 16:23, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Doesn't appear to be a single member cat anymore. And looking at Category:Flemish people by occupation, are all of these ambiguous too? I dunno, but for now, might as well keep this one along with the rest. - jc37 15:36, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ivar Hippe[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:24, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a person, without the volume of spinoff content needed to warrant an eponymous category. As always, a person does not automatically get one of these the moment he has a BLP and a "Books by X" category -- these are only warranted if there's an unusually large volume of related content that needs person-related categorization but falls outside any established category scheme, such as at Category:William Shakespeare. Bearcat (talk) 02:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The "books by" category sufficiently categories related content for the individual. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Just N. (talk) 19:44, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: seems to be a previous name for spectrum news (which we already have a separate category for) Rusf10 (talk) 00:01, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Obviously obsolete. --Just N. (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
