  • Comment -- Is bodybuilding a sport? Is the intersection of Vegan and bodybuilder a notable one? Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • One is a professional bodybuilder so he is surely is a sportsman. The other is not so much a professional. But both are already in Category:Vegan sportspeople so merging is equivalent to deleting in this case. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I am unconvinced this intersection is notable so it should be deleted. That they are already both in the target as well means that functionally even the nominator is supporting deletion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People who opposed the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine[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:Russian activists against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's clear the current title is too ambiguous, and a few users argued that the current scope is too wide, and it should more clearly be limited to activists. Any user can boldly purge the category of non-activists. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:44, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Is it ok to categorize people by their views? Wikisaurus (talk) 19:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to Category:Russian opponents of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's by far the best name suggestion. Charles Essie (talk) 02:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I second renaming the category to Russian opponents of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and to narrow the inclusion criteria to significant activism. I can understand how standing up to this invasion is a very huge risk due to all the repression. --Minoa (talk) 00:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see. Who is in this category? Natalia Poklonskaya. How come? She personally put to prison a lot of Ukrainian activists in the Russia-occupied Crimea. Who else? Alex Konanykhin. Yes, of course, that guy created a company for paid editing in WP. Do you think his announcement of the "bounty" was an act of bravery? No, that was an advertisement. As about others, they are great people, but again, any sane and informed person is against this war; this is hardly anything significant. Being Russian citizens does not make them special. My very best wishes (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, many Russians just object to the war in general, but do not really condemn the invasion. A typical view can be found here [1]. "no problem can be solved by war" The issue here is not the war. This is just war by Ukraine. "the terrible and bloody decision that none of us could influence and predict." This is not true and denial of responsibility because there was already a military aggression by Russia against Georgia in 2008, against Ukraine in 2014 and Second Chechen war in 2000. My very best wishes (talk) 15:49, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, that would be a little more reasonable category, but still very artificial. But whatever. I do not think that keeping such category would be hugely problematic. My very best wishes (talk) 22:05, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I generally believe that there is no harm in keeping any categories, unless they are outright misleading. That one is not. For example, Natalia Poklonskaya does belong to the category. One just does not need to conclude that she is a supporter of Ukrainian people, a good person or brave. My very best wishes (talk) 22:54, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • (added after relisting) But it should only contain activists, therefore the category needs to be purged too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why? Them simply being Russian is what makes this noteworthy. Charles Essie (talk) 18:52, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This category shouldn't exist. Having this category will only promote and encourage more superfluous politically charged categories on Wikipedia. Er nesto (talk) 14:09, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:18th-century bishops in Great Britain. – Fayenatic London 12:49, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: UK came into being in 1801. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:59, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This doesnt seem very helpful unless we are going to rename the whole of Category:18th-century British people Rathfelder (talk) 11:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"British" also describes citizens of the Kingdom of Great Britain. The UK as a state did not exist in the 18th century. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply The nomination is unconcerned with nationalities; it concerns two states that existed in different periods of time - GB & UK. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:40, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • REname but to Category:18th-century British bishops or Category:18th-century bishops in Great Britain. The content is such that it is a container for England, Wales, and Scotland with a Catholic subcat. There is no need to include "Kingdom of", which is mere verbosity. My first target might be about nationality, rather than the location of the see, which would mean that an English bishop serving an Irish diocese would belong, which might be undesirable, as the object is to show where they ministered, rather than where they were from. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:50, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It makes no difference whether GB means the island with off-islands or the kingdom of GB. They are essentially the same thing. Category names should be kept brief to limit category clutter. I do not support LL's policy of making category names long for spurious precision in their scope. Where further precision is needed, the appropriate place for it is in a headnote. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:24, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. ✗plicit 12:55, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In Mexico, Senate terms are six years in length and span two three-year legislatures, so by-legislature categories in the Senate should cover two legislatures at a time. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:23, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Roman numerals are for historians use. Wikipedia is for the usability for normal people/users. --Just N. (talk) 10:21, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy rename for consistency. However the category and its siblings should ultimately be merged. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete All these members of legislature by specific meeting of the legislature are just invitations to category clutter and we should rid ourselves of everyone of them. I have seen way too many articles with 5 plus such categories to see them as justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:06, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Roman numerals are for historians use. Wikipedia is for the usability for normal people/users. --Just N. (talk) 10:20, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Justus Nussbaum: The parent articles are numbered in Roman numerals here, e.g. LX Legislature of the Mexican Congress, so if that's your concern, I'd take it to RM for a total of 16 pages. I also recognize I inadvertently...created the other cat because I'm working with HotCat and was missing the old one. Oops! Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:01, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy rename for consistency. However the category and its siblings should ultimately be merged. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Marcocapelle: This is part of an effort to diffuse the parent category, Category:Members of the Senate of the Republic (Mexico), by state represented (not applicable for all senators thanks to proportional representation) and by legislature served. Similar work is being done on the Chamber of Deputies side, where the main members category had 2,600 titles. Furthermore, we have many stubs not maintained in years in this field and in some cases the politicians have gone on to further offices. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:01, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename, "Germany" is anachronistic, this all refers to the Holy Roman Empire before 1806. For example the territory of the Palatinate of Lotharingia is not part of current Germany but was part of the Holy Roman Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:17, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
