Category:Druze people by nationality subcategories[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 per nomination, but delete the Russian category for the reasons stated. The short names are not an aberration, see e.g. the parents for Ismailis within Category:Ismailis by nationality. There were other piecemeal suggestions which did not gain explicit support; these may be brought back in follow-up nominations, e.g. a "descent" category might fit better in Category:Argentine people of Arab descent, but there is not a sufficiently clear consensus to introduce varied names based on this discussion. – Fayenatic London 13:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming most or all subcategories (main category is fine)

Nominator's rationale: This would be more consistent with categorization of people by ethnic/religious group, and less clunky. --Qualiesin (talk) 04:19, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Qualiesin: the category pages need to be tagged. I have done the first one for you as an example. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:00, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Partial support, "of nationality" is unnecessary clunky indeed. I am less sure if we should remove "people". Marcocapelle (talk) 05:10, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support better alignment with other religion categories. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename -- The Druze are a Middle Eastern religious group, in Lebanon and perhaps neighbouring countries. In those parts such religious communities seem to be largely endogamous, so that they are effectively quasi-ethnic: compare Assyrians, Armenians, etc. There is a longstanding precedent that such categories are renamed to Category:American people of Druze descent, etc. This was done (as renames) for all nationalities, except American about a decade ago.

Support this suggestion. Druze are actually more endogamous than either Assyrians or Armenians (many Middle Eastern Christians freely intermarry with other Christians, but Druze do not since they only count someone with two Druze parents as Druze).

Relisting comment: A different set of rename targets was also suggested.

Oppose alt rename (adding "descent"), that would completely change the scope of the categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:54, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewing my suggestion -- Syrian, Israeli, and Lebanese should probably be renamed as nom, because they are in or close to there homeland. The two Egyptian people are/were emigrants from Lebanon, so that Druze descent might be appropriate, but Category:Druze immigrants to Egypt might be better. The Argentine and Venezuelan people seem to have been born in those countries, so that descent is entirely appropriate, and one has converted to be a Catholic. Some of the Americans might be better in Category:Druze immigrants to United States. The Russian category relates to an Israeli Druze who trained in USSR and took nationality there but is back in Israel - probably delete as SMALLCAT.

The Argentine and Venezuelan people already are in a Lebanese descent category, that should suffice. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:17, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
