Category:History of the Republic of China[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: rename/merge. bibliomaniac15 04:49, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename, WP:C2C per Category:Republic of China (1912–1949) and purge subCategory:Taiwan under Republic of China rule. The disambiguator (1912–1949) is useful to make the distinction versus the modern republic of Taiwan. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • (as nom) merging of the first category to its parent is an equally good alternative indeed. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:29, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support renaming, will increase accuracy and decrease editorial workload. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:37, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support renaming, will increase accuracy and decrease editorial workload. --Just N. (talk) 21:45, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. bibliomaniac15 04:49, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic. The articles are already categorized by year of birth. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:05, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Also name is incorrect, should refer to "the Qing dynasty". Well-established precedent against catagorizing by birthplace. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Just N. (talk) 21:55, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: "WP:C2C and Category:Categories by country. थकुराःमा (talk) 10:30, 13 November 2021 (UTC)" (copied from talk page) -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 12:51, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Inappropriate personal userspace category; I fail to see the value of a category containing only ancient pages in the user namespace of a checkuser-blocked account. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:08, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Anarchyte (talk) 15:27, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. There is no need to merge, the article is already in Category:Republic of China (1912–1949) and Category:Economic history of China. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:52, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes[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: rename to Category:Migrated userbox stubs. bibliomaniac15 04:50, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: "GUS", standing for "German userbox solution" (see Wikipedia:Userbox migration), seems like a niche abbreviation and may be quite confusing in a category name. I suggest moving it to something more obvious, and since the linked page calls the meaning of this acronym (?) a "former" name, I suggest the new name employ the term "Userbox migration". ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 17:01, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename to Category:Migrated userbox stubs (or something similar to that) to match the actual content (template-spaces userboxes replaced with stubs that point to migrated versions). * Pppery * it has begun... 18:08, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Unclear! Why should the proposed naming be any better as the existing? No evidence at all! --Just N. (talk) 22:04, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose If there is not a more convincing proposal we should keep it as it is. --Just N. (talk) 22:05, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The "evidence" is that "GUS" is unclear to any editor not in the know about the history of the userbox migration. The very top of WP:UM says it all, "The Userbox migration (formerly known as the German userbox solution)..." — voidxor 15:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename somehow, the abbreviation surely is not clear. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:54, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to one of the above. "GUS" is meaningless. Such made up abbreviations should not be used. Gonnym (talk) 01:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename somehow. That naming has always bugged me, versus "userbox migration", which is what it is. At first, I thought it was a joke. The Germans have a "solution" to everything: userboxes, high-speed roads, Jews...
    I don't like calling them "templates" though, since it is a category of a variety of former userbox pages transcluding one template. I much prefer Pppery's idea of Category:Migrated userbox stubs. — voidxor 14:56, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 12:56, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This should definitely include "Wikipedia" somewhere to avoid being too broad, but I suggest simultaneously aligning it with Category:Wikipedia competitions. ~~~~

The result of the discussion was: merge to parent categories. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:50, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Contains one member, the {{Labelled Map of South Africa Provinces}}. Pretty much a WP:SMALLCAT, and Category:Labelled map templates only has a few subcategories by country. ~~~~

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:LGBT poets. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:01, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer, it is the only subcategory of the target. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:26, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep No advantage at all by merging IMHO! --Just N. (talk) 22:13, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The advantage is quicker navigation through the category tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
