May 22[edit]

Category:Mythological cosmologies[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: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:07, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not distinct enough, as evidenced by their contents and especially their subcategories. Main article is titled Religious cosmology. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:25, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Rename WP:C2D, consistency with main article's name. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:48, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, I don't see any articles or subcategories that should be specifically held apart as non-religious. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:19, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Although I'm not very interested in this area of studies and for that reason could live with any outcome, I have to uphold academic/intellectual honesty and make you aware of thousands of academic books on metaphysical or other speculative matters which are not about religion but about mythological cosmologies. A lot of them are even famous like Rousseau's Contrat social or Gargantua and Pantagruel or Sigmund Freud's Totem and Taboo, just to name a few examples. Wikipedia seems to attract much more engineers and jobless scientists than academics of the humanities, so most of those historical mythological cosmologies haven't got a proper categorical embedding in Category:Mythological cosmologies. But they are nevertheless still there. Religion is only a small part of the human history of mind, much overestimated. --Just N. (talk) 05:08, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Burials at Hollywood Forever Cemetery[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: no consensus on the keep/delete alternative. There was no discussion of the proposal to rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I’m using the above category as an example for my proposal that all “Burials at” categories be renamed to “Interments at”. My reasoning being that not every interment in a cemetery is a burial. Many could be cremated and stored into a wall niche or an above ground crypt, thus not falling into being “buried”. Of course I could just be over semantic about it, I just feel it’s more accurate to call it “Interments at”. Rusted AutoParts 17:31, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a deletion discussion, it's one in regards to renaming. Rusted AutoParts 23:50, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm suggesting a different CFD outcome than the one originally proposed (but I'm neutral on the naming if kept). - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:05, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But this was to broach whether the categories should be renamed. Whether they should be deleted should be it’s own discussion as opposed to being thrust onto this one. Rusted AutoParts 05:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per RevelationDirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:24, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete For the vast majority of individuals in the category, it is WP:NONDEF. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:36, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- This is an established tree, but one whose merit I am not convinced of (except national cememteries). I do not think there is a difference between burial and interment, or at least no meaningful one, between the burial of a body and of ashes; or between burial in the ground or a crypt. The point is the location not the method. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:39, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep since this is now suddenly a discussion about whether it should be deleted or not (which isn't what I opened the discussion about), I guess I should file my Keep vote in. Hollywood Forever is a very notable cemetery with notable inhabitants. It would have the same merits as Heroes' Acre (Namibia) or Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Rusted AutoParts 00:39, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep To my astonishment Category:Burials in the United States by cemetery comprehends ~300 American cemeteries. And I'd estimate that this L.A. one is worthy to be one more of them as there are lots of actors/celebrities located. --Just N. (talk) 16:03, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural Note Tagged category as of this timestamp. - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:12, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:All Linux Distributions[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. – Fayenatic London 08:00, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicates Category:Linux distributions. Guy Macon (talk) 16:20, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - this seems to have been a good-intentioned attempt to fix structural issues with the mess of sub-cats at Category:Linux distributions, but the addition of yet another sub-cat as made the problem much worse, not better. I agree that Category:Linux distributions is a mess and almost impossible to find anything within, but this is not the solution. It would be better to delete this new cat and just add all articles about Linux distributions directly to Category:Linux distributions making it a monolithic category and then eliminate all the sub-cats of that. - Ahunt (talk) 17:03, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Ahunt. This category duplicates another category and creates more issues rather than solves any. - Aoidh (talk) 02:28, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator. --Just N. (talk) 16:05, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Independent Linux distributions[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicates Category:Linux distributions. Every Linux distribution is independent. Guy Macon (talk) 16:20, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: created at the same time and by the same person as Category:All Linux Distributions listed above. --Guy Macon (talk) 02:44, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - if we are going to fix the structural issues in Category:Linux distributions by removing all the sub-cats and making it a monolithic category as described above, then this one can be deleted now. - Ahunt (talk) 13:39, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • What would be the point of removing the subcats? What should become the alternative parent category of the subcats if you would remove it? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Which "alternative parent category of the subcats" is that? - Ahunt (talk) 15:47, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: SMALLCAT ★Trekker (talk) 13:43, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete very small category, unlikely to expand at this stage. PatGallacher (talk) 14:54, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. What a trivial matter! --Just N. (talk) 16:18, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Belgian people (before 1830)[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: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:13, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Belgium didnt exist before 1830. Is this a sensible categorisation? Rathfelder (talk) 11:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly because Belgium didn't exist before 1830, this is a sensible distinction within the category:Belgian people. In the Dutch Wikipedia it's called nl:Categorie:Zuid-Nederlands persoon (voor 1830) (people of the Southern Netherlands). In French it is fr:catégorie:Personnalité belge (avant 1830). Before 1830 the territory of the (Southern) Netherlands sometimes was called 'pays belgiques' (Belgian lands, in French) or 'Belgica/Belgium' (in Latin). There was no unique name for this people (Flemish, Dutch, Austrian Netherlandish, Belgian). - Karel Anthonissen (talk) 11:55, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disney Renaissance franchise[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) 06:48, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unneeded category. All entries and all category tags are already present in Category:Disney Renaissance (or at each specific franchise category), and I don't see any need to split that category up. Gonnym (talk) 10:46, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 09:12, 22 May 2021 (UTC) [reply]
  • Delete This period doesn't seem defining when clicking through the articles; everything is already well categorized. - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:45, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Just N. (talk) 06:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Operation Homefront[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) 06:52, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT
Operation Homefront is an American veteran organization. An organizational category is fine and so is a subcategory for the national heads of that organization but the only 2 articles here are Operation Homefront and CEO John I. Pray with little growth potential. Those articles are both crosslinked and well categorized so no merge is needed. No objection to recreating (or creating a CEO subcat) if either ever get up to 5+ articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:01, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:International Game Developers Association members[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:17, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCASSOC and WP:TRIVIALCAT
International Game Developers Association is a membership based organization you can join right here with a credit card: $60/yr for standard individual membership or $30/yr for students. This category contains companies not people though and, while the IGDA website does list corporate "affiliates", that official list doesn't match this category so I'm not sure if we're categorizing by former members or there is some other IGDA relationship involved. Whatever this association is or was, it doesn't seem defining in the articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:01, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Convincing facts -> no merit in buying membership ->no category deserved! --Just N. (talk) 16:21, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, just membership of an organization is hardly ever defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
