Footballers by city in Israel[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 all containing fewer than five articles, rename the rest to "footballers" (with some support and no opposition here, and could be done speedily anyway under WP:C2C), and splitting Category:Footballers from Jaffa from Category:Footballers from Tel Aviv. For the record, in order to leave backlinks to the discussion, the renames are as follows.
Categories renamed

Nominator's rationale: A series of WP:SMALLCAT of footballers. Footballer categories should really only be split from large Sportspeople by city categories, which in and of themselves should be split from large people by city categories Librarian from Liberia (talk) 20:42, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've lost patience with the copy and paste now but you get the picture. Consider any subcategory within Category:Footballers by city or town in Israel to be nominated if it contains under 10 articles. Rationale as outlined above. Creator doesn't seem to mind categories being deleted, and one gets the impression from the note at the top that it happens quite a lot to her.

  • Support merging per nom. Dhawangupta (talk) 04:54, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support merging any with fewer than five articles, which is the usual cutoff point in such discussions. They should be doubly upmerged to the proposed categories and Category:Footballers in Israel. Keep the rest. Grutness...wha? 07:57, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The entire category tree with 81 subcategories has only been tagged in its entirety just now.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, bibliomaniac15 20:39, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revised nomination to merge (with number of pages in category included for reference):

Collapsed for space
  • Thank you for adding the remainder of the tree. Anything said before applies to the whole tree, obviously. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have updated the numbers in a few cases where it makes a difference. – Fayenatic London 20:55, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep and remove headnote (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Either rename or delete. Why have a category about what they did not do? Very strange. If retained, the name needs to reflect the weird scope. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:58, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • But surely the name as it stands is almost entirely misleading. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:32, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In relation to its sub-categories, I don't think it is. I agree it isn't right for the current set of articles it holds, which is why I think the articles should if possible be recategorised, leaving only the subcats in this. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:51, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - it is the category inclusion text which should be removed. This was a bizarre addition after the cfd 2007 May 22#Category:Non-ruling Austrian royalty: the text from the merged category has no bearing on the target category. Oculi (talk) 13:55, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Oculi. The headnote needs to be removed, as it is not helpful. It has rulers of Austria as a subcat, which means that the rulers ARE in. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:02, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT and, as it happens, one of its two articles, Alfred H. Bellot is at AfD. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:46, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
