September 1[edit]

Category:Black people shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States[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:African Americans shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States. bibliomaniac15 06:26, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:C2C, the parent category and sibling categories contain "African-American" instead of "black". I have nominated it at full discussion because other formats are also possible. The latter part "in the United States" may be redundant and another option is e.g. Category:Shootings of African Americans by law enforcement officers. Apart from renaming from "black people" to "African Americans" I do not have a preference for a particular alternative. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:55, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This seem to be about the American ethnic group, rather than a category by race. Dimadick (talk) 20:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Black is not precise enough. However, the qualification in the United States is necessary because there could be police killings of U.S. residents in other countries. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:26, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - a depressingly large category. Oculi (talk) 11:37, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kendall and Kylie Jenner categories[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) 04:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With only one article outside the main article, these eponymous categories represent overcategorization per WP:OCEPON. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:53, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quiet worried for me. But I didn't know this in fact. If I am wrong for this, feel free to delete it. EricSDA (talk) 23:48, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:24, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I was just about to nominate this one myself. I removed Klaus Heisler from the category per WP:PERFCAT, leaving only a filmography. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sculptures of African-Americans[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:Sculptures of African Americans. bibliomaniac15 06:26, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The hyphen is used only when the term is an adjective, like "African-American authors". It's grammatically wrong here. deisenbe (talk) 15:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please fix this. I have not formatted it right but I don't know how. deisenbe (talk) 15:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television shows filmed in Vancouver[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: reverse merge. bibliomaniac15 06:29, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Proposed merging. That is a confused category and it was recently created on July 22, 2021 entitled "Television series filmed in Vancouver". The confused title has to be merged to the existing category to "Television series produced in Vancouver", to follow the Canadian related "Television series produced in (insert Canadian city)" categories. Steam5 (talk) 08:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok then I support either merge or reverse merge. In any case it does not make sense to have two of these categories next to each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steam5 (talk) 04:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gonnym: do you mean "support reverse merge"? Initially I thought you meant to oppose both merge and reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:39, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, sorry I was not clear there. Gonnym (talk) 08:07, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reverse merge per Gonnym's proposal. There is no category tree for Category:Television series by country of production. We don't need to create a duplicate category tree. Dimadick (talk) 10:36, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reverse merge. The norm for other countries' or cities' categories of this type is indeed "shows filmed in [Place]" rather than "series produced in [Place]". To be fair, there is also Category:Television series produced in Massachusetts, indicating that there's been inconsistency and disagreement about this in the past, but Canada (and Massachusetts) somehow got left behind when the rest of the tree was standardized the other way. (The container for "American television series by state" categories is also named Category:American television series by production location, incidentally, but all of the individual state categories are named "shows filmed in" except for Massachusetts, and I have been able to find some examples of "Television series produced in [State]" getting moved to "Television shows filmed in [State]" at CFD, but I can't find evidence of a comprehensive group move of all of them — so it's likely that the US had two competing trees at some point too.) So reverse merge this, and then rename the other Canadian categories to follow. Bearcat (talk) 11:30, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
