Nominator's rationale: "Which" is better than "that". Dr Salvus 18:59, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose: @Dr Salvus, see English relative clauses#That or which for non-human antecedents - "that" should be used. ― Qwerfjkltalk 19:24, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 08:58, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, Dahomey cannot be an establishment in Dahomey. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. The establishment was "in c.1600", not "in 1600", so that that categorisation is spurious. The target is thus the appropriate category. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:05, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I can see the value of its subcat Category:Yeoman (F) personnel‎, but this seems to be a completely unnecessary category level. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:35, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cultural depictions of people[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 to Category:Works based on real people. This is following the rename of the original target category, but consensus seems to be that a merge should happen. The subcats can be dealt with in a future nom. bibliomaniac15 21:30, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As proposed by User:Peterkingiron in a recent discussion. Reason, presumably (as I understand it and endorse): same topic. Note some subcategories may need a likewise renaming. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Environmental musical artists[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: Purge; no consensus to delete. – Fayenatic London 19:13, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Undefined and undefinable. Could be about musicians who write pieces about the environment or musicians who write "environmental music", whatever that is. Also, everything is part of the environment ... there's the built and natural environment, for a start. As for the artists added to the category, they may have written some songs about the environment but it might not make up the bulk of their output and that isn't defining for the artists concerned anyway; examples include the Beach Boys ("God Only Knows" is not about the environment as commonly understood, and ditto for Clocks by Coldplay. In all, this is far too wishy-washy to be a stand-alone category. Graham87 15:26, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:43, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OCEGRS, as a non-notable intersection with ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:35, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom and likely WP:SMALLCAT. JBchrch talk 14:31, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This person was connected with Tuva when it was an indepdent country. This is by the interaction of pilot+ nationality. That is not an OCEGRS issue, since it is nationality not ethnicity, and small cat does not apply to splitting out Category:Pilots by nationality, so this is acceptable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per SMALLCAT, probably full upmerge. Tuva was a Russian protectorate until 1921 then independent; then absorbed by USSR, becoming a member of Russian Federation, which is still its status. Tuvan people is well populated and relates to a polity that has long existed, contrary to what Marcocapelle suggests. No need for a wider upmerge as he is already in Soviet aviators.

Category:Poetry by nation or language[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: split Category:Poetry by nation or language, rename Category:Poetic form by nation or language to Category:Poetic forms by language bibliomaniac15 04:00, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "By nation" is not consistent with current category hierarchies that are by country, nationality, or ethnicity. Nationality seems to be the best fit here, cf. e.g. Category:Poetry books by nationality. – Fayenatic London 18:56, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with nom that we do not use "by nation" elsewhere. I would slightly favour "by country" (only writers have a nationality) and would suggest splitting too (by country/nationality versus by language). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not only people – culture has nationality, as it is retained even in diasporas. Therefore the national categories for literature and other cultural forms are named using nationalities rather than country names, see Wikipedia:Category_names#Socio-cultural_topics. Despite this, the parents use "by country" e.g. Category:Literature by country, so I accept this alternative. Revised proposal:
Fayenatic London 11:47, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no gripe with nation-->nationality. Because of the fuzzy overlaps of culture/nationality/language, I feel it's best to keep the category a little vague. In other words, "country" may be too limiting: this would banish, say, "Andalusian poetry" or "Flemish poetry", should such articles be desired, whereas the slightly vaguer "nationality" would allow them in with (what I see as) their siblings. Similarly splitting into 2 categories (nationality versus language) may unnecessarily bring technical and political disputes into a category that is better judged while squinting. Cheers. Phil wink (talk) 13:31, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can not see how country would be limiting: Andalusian poetry fits perfectly well in Spain, Flemish poetry fits in Belgium. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:25, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chinese list of cults[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: If this category contained lists of cults, it could be named Category:Lists of Chinese cults, but there are presently no lists in the category. I propose that it's renamed to Category:Chinese cults, with parent categories retained. Storchy (talk) 11:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategories of Category:Paintings of the Madonna and Child[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:45, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia:Category names § Visual arts recommends "[type of works] by [Artist]", e.g., "Paintings by Foo", but the categories listed above are (I think) the last remnant of an earlier style which used "[Artist] [type of works]". The proposed category names are closer not only to their parent category Category:Paintings of the Madonna and Child but also to their "Paintings by [artist]" parent categories and, in seven out of 16 cases, to the parent articles on the artists.

Nominator's rationale: Better name. A "device" makes me think of a mobile device. The two members of this category, "requested templates" and "bot requests", have nothing to do with devices or mobile devices. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:46, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Might be merged to Category:Wikipedia requests, in its current state it is a redundant category layer with only one page and one subcategory. Otherwise support rename to clarify its purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:47, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, this is also a good idea. Thanks for suggesting it. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge I concur that there is no useful distinction between this category and its parent. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:17, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. (OP changing my !vote.) I'm fine with a merge. Let's do that instead. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:20, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
