Category:As a service[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: speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure) —Alalch E. 14:29, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. Just a collocation within a phrasal template. It's only defining in the realm of Wikipedia:Marketing buzzspeak for marketing purposes but not for the purposes of encyclopedic categorization. Certain business models that contain "as a service" are defined as category:Service-oriented (business computing) in the context of Cloud computing, per that article. These include:
These belong to the Category:Service-oriented (business computing). Maybe, just maybe the following articles, included in the cloud computing navbox also belong to that category:
No article belongs to the "As a service" category (should already be clear from the name of the category that something is wrong with it). For example, Energy storage as a service and Mobility as a service have got nothing to do with the above mentioned topics, and the word "cloud" does not even appear in those articles. These are entirely different topics. —Alalch E. 22:07, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, the defining article is as a service and this is not limiting the concept to cloud-only. (Apparently I have created the category myself long time ago, but I do not recall this and it is not a motive to oppose.) Marcocapelle (talk) 23:00, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It isn't defining. Please take a more careful look at that page. That is a WP:Set index article. The defining article for all the list members does not exist and it can not exist. The defining article for Infrastructure as a service, Software as a service, Platform as a service, Backend as a service, and Function as a service is Cloud computing.
    WP:SHAREDNAME applies.—Alalch E. 00:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is certainly promotional aspects here and the as a service article could use improvement. But types of products sold on a subscription basis that used to be sold as one time capital purchases seems defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:07, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's just the definition of the Subscription business model (The subscription business model is a business model in which a customer must pay a recurring price at regular intervals for access to a product or service.) (You borrow a book instead of buying the book). But where's even that in Philanthropy as a service, Payments as a service (wire transfer systems have always been services, and this is just a name for alternative, non-institutional, such services, and the differentiating characteristic is the cloud computing technology), etc.—Alalch E. 03:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • The difference is in, what RevelationDirect also mentioned, the fact that these services used to be sold as one time capital purchases, therefore the addition "as a service" has meaning beyond shared name. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:05, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    We also categorize by Category:Subscription services, the parent category. No objection to purging Philanthropy as a service though. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thinking more about this, I agree with both of you more then not, so I will withdraw. —Alalch E. 14:28, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge/rename Uncontested for more than a month * Pppery * it has begun... 18:06, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I think that these categories should be merged and renamed to match the sister categories in the Category:Horse breeders.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Jewish restaurants. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Seems unnecessary to have both Category:Kosher restaurants and Category:Kosher style restaurants. Propose we keep the former per Kosher restaurant. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:21, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, perhaps there's good reason to keep Kosher style restaurants from Kosher restaurants? Inviting editors to help decide the fate of both categories. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:55, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Male television presenters[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: manual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 20#Category:Male radio presenters, this is a WP:CATEGRS violation. As always, all categories for women do not always need to be balanced directly against matching categories for men, and it depends on the relevance of gender to the topic.
Broadcasting, however, was very disproportionately seen as "men's work" for much of history, with women vastly underrepresented until at least the late 1970s and early 1980s -- meaning that this would be an unbrowsably massive megacategory for at least 75 per cent of all the articles we have about television broadcasters. We categorize women here because they're an underrepresented minority in this field, whose participation in broadcasting as a career occasions sociological study -- so the relationship between career and gender is only defining for women in this instance, because it's a field where only women get gender-based analysis of the relationship between their career and their gender. Men in broadcasting are just broadcasters, and only women are "gendered broadcasters". Bearcat (talk) 18:02, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Indian Premier League seasons. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a duplicate of its parent category, which is Category:Indian Premier League seasons. The title is illogical because sporting seasons are, by default, designated by year, so the parent's title is sufficient. Batagur baska (talk) 16:09, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:19, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is overdiffused. No other caselaw topic is diffused by year. Mason (talk) 15:53, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle, per nom, but suggest to replace the targets "Case law in year" by "Year in law" since there aren't any case law by year categories yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Striking my further comment, because the issue is solved below. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:33, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Suggestion @Smasongarrison: The naming format for case lawy by year is "Category:XXXX in case law". The current nomination makes it look like you're merging to nonexistant categories. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:07, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support with Corrected Category Names Clearly WP:NARROWCAT, the target year categories just need to be updated in the nomination. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:07, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed updated to the corrected category name. Mason (talk) 03:28, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Dual merge. This category isn't large enough to need to be diffused by century Mason (talk) 14:57, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. No substantiative reason to keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:22, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Had just one entry. Found another to add, but then determined it shouldn't be in the other, so now it's back down to just one, and that one is an album by Alesso so the cat is redundant to Category:Alesso albums anyway.

  • Keep Why does it matter how many entries there are? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said, 1. It's redundant to another cat, and 2. Do we not have rules about categories needing to contain a minimum number of entries? WP:SMALLCAT and such, no? QuietHere (talk | contributions) 17:38, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This certainly runs afoul of WP:NARROWCAT. Since the former SmallCat guideline gave a blanket pass for this type of works by artist category, it's probably worth a broader discussion whether these type of categories have a purpose. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 17:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: At Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_11#Category:Museums_in_Maine_by_populated_place, it was discovered that several categories in Category:Museums in the United States by state or territory and populated place are underpopulated. No other merge targets are necessary since all the subcategories should be in a state- or county-level subcategory for museums, such as Category:Museums in Lancaster County, Nebraska. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Same proposal for:

Nominator's rationale: More clear, recognizable, and accurate (note that vaccines are considered a drug). The category is not composed of brand names because wikipedia uses the international nonproprietary name. (t · c) buidhe 18:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: There is consensus to rename, but no preference between the options.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:17, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: Added other categories to nomination. I also now favor "Drugs developed by company X" because drugs are often developed by multiple companies and in that case putting it in "X company drugs" could be confusing/misleading if X company no longer owns the rights to the drug. (t · c) buidhe 20:22, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    After adding the other categories, I tried to put a notice on the category using MMS but apparently it didn't work. As I recall there is a way to notify the categories jointly and I'd really appreciate if someone did that (copied the notice from Category:AstraZeneca brands to the others listed above), otherwise I'll do it manually. (t · c) buidhe 20:56, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per nom. Buidhe's preferred name "Drugs developed by X" seems fine per their rationale just above. Ajpolino (talk) 21:32, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • support per nom.--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • What's the plan for the non-drug brands that are currently in those categories? For example, the AstraZeneca cat currently includes three vaccines (vaccines technically aren't "drugs") and Quorn, which is food (and not some type of medical food; it's sold in in the freezer section of regular grocery stores). WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:09, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ajpolino, @Buidhe, @LaundryPizza03, @Marcocapelle, @Ozzie10aaaa, @Qwerfjkl, @Smasongarrison, @Synpath: How do you want to handle this? In particular, I point out that many large pharmaceutical companies also sell nutritional supplements, and I'm not sure that we want the so-called "SCAM" products to be categorized under "drugs". WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:12, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then there are two options: rename differently (e.g. "products" instead of "drugs") or move the non-drug articles to a higher level in the hierarchy. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Good point WAID. I like a "Products developed by X" scheme. If folks want a category of only "Drugs developed by X" they can make it a subcategory of "Products developed by X" as Marcocapelle alludes to above. Ajpolino (talk) 19:46, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The parent category is just for drugs. If the scope is changed, it will need to be reparented. I don't think that the manufacturer of a particular supplement is necessarily defining as supplements aren't tested and approved in the same way. So, I would support purging any non drug articles rather than lumping together supplements and drug development. If there is consensus to go with "products", I think "X company products" would be preferable to be consistent with all other "X company products" categories. (t · c) buidhe 23:26, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: I checked several of the categories and was unable to locate any non-drug items. So, I think it should be considered a non-issue unless anyone can bring specific examples of non-drugs that might be included in these categories. As stated above, vaccines are classified as drugs by the FDA and EMA so it is appropriate to include them in drug categories. AstraZeneca temporarily owned the company that makes Quorn, but its involvement in that product is non-defining so I've removed the category. (t · c) buidhe 02:26, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for checking. Then the proposal can just go ahead. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:57, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. It is noted that the article name was changed back to Lyelchytsy District, invalidating the nominator's rationale. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:32, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rename Category:Lyelchytsy District to Category:Lelchytsy District
Nominator's rationale: Renamed the article for the District to Lelchytsy District according to the city name Lelchytsy. Plaga med (talk) 21:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Nominator has emptied this category making the discussion of a rename rather pointless. Liz Read! Talk! 01:08, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Liz, I think I've restored the pages in the category. @Plaga med please don't empty categories out of process. Also please don't add the red-linked new name. Mason (talk) 04:08, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support, the article about the city has been at Lelchytsy for a very long time, so it is plausible that the district should be spelled the same. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:30, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I have moved it to Lyelchytsy and back to Lyelchytsy District due to WP:BELARUSIANNAMES. There is no common name and "Lelchytsy" does not follow BGN/PCGN romanization. Therefore I oppose with the current titles of those articles. Mellk (talk) 20:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • I have stricken my earlier vote. The category name should follow the article name and I can't say anything meaningful about the spelling of the article. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Political groups in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe[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) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: these categories are wrongly categorized as Pan-European political parties, as they are in fact not parties but political groups in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Individual articles are already categorized at Category:Political groups in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, while individual politicians are better categorized by their national party.
