Category:Baseball tournament squads[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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:34, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not much of a distinction between the two categories. The categories would benefit from a merger as they are very closely related. WP:OVERLAPCAT. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:45, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Aidan721: correct me if I am wrong but it looks like these are tournament rosters rather than team rosters. Or is this distinction not relevant? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Aidan721: see above, apparently my first ping did not reach you. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:18, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oops sorry, must've missed it. I just feel as though the distinction between tournament rosters and team rosters is not very relevant, and there is neither category is very large to necessitate a separate category. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:08, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Merge - It seems that the subcats (and sub-subcats) of Category:Sports squads seems to vary between the use of "roster" and "squad". And I think it's clearer to keep the teams assembled for a particular tournament, separate from teams assembled for league play. - jc37 10:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Faculty by university or college in Finland[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 17:37, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename aligning the category names per precedent in this discussion. Currently some categories use "academics", others use "faculty". "Academic personnel" seems a proper new alternative. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:30, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • If researchers at a university are not included in the term "faculty" then that is all the more reason to move away from the term "faculty". Marcocapelle (talk) 04:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is important. The issue of whether a person is included as a faculty member is very rarely mentioned in an article and we do not have a high level category to put them in.Rathfelder (talk) 08:45, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, and discussion on the rest of the countries can follow after this one is closed. The main article is at academic personnel because the meaning of "faculty" depends on one's geography, and the categories should follow the same logic. UnitedStatesian (talk) 20:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Finland (being in Europe) is more likely to use British than American nomenclature. American analogies are unhelpful. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:35, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
