Nominator's rationale: A category of redirects Gjs238 (talk) 15:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Unfinished work. No longer only redirects. There may be more existing articles if/when I find them, and there will be more as and when some of those redirects are expanded. There will also probably be more redirects as I find them or create them. Incidentally, is there a rule against categories of redirects? If so, please link me to it Those redirects are (or should be) WP:SUBTOPICCATs. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 17:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I see that the original group of redirects have been removed from the category. Did the person who uncategorised them check to ensure that they were not eligible under WP:SUBTOPICCAT? I don't know how to find them again without a tedious repeat manual search through Category:Redirect-Class SCUBA articles. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 06:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the pages to Diving decompression. This category isn't helpful if it's predominantly redirects. Mason (talk) 21:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What makes a category that is predominantly redirects not helpful? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 05:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Categories are meant to link related articles between them. That's the only thing they're useful for: be a navigation tool. Categories made of redirect do not show up at the bottom of the articles. There are some exceptional cases in which they can be useful, per WP:RCAT, but most of the time this should be avoided if possible. Place Clichy (talk) 08:33, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 20:11, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Weird and confusing name. Looking at the content of this category, it seems that this is not intended for Dominicans with ancestry in the U.S., as the parent categories would indicate, (for which we have Dominican Republic people of American descent) but in fact Dominicans from the local population of largely colonial European background, which is called the White Dominicans. José Ignacio Paliza is an example of that. Deletion is also an option. Place Clichy (talk) 16:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, these articles belong in normal descent subcategories by nationality, and mostly already are in those. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split/rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:19, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose splitting
  • Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Sportswriters and sports broadcasters have their own seperate categories. These should be split between them. And rename the lists categories because they are misleading; they are all lists of broadcasters, not writers and broadcasters. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:14, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom Mason (talk) 17:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question should Category:Horse racing announcers be Category:Horse racing commentators? The main category is Category:Sports commentators. TSventon (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TSventon, if you take a look at Category:Sports commentators by sport (a subcat of Category:Sports commentators) and you will note that no one term is applied uniformly. In this case, the content of the category shows two national categories with "announcers" while the other two are "writers and broadcasters" and "race callers". I chose to rename it to "announcers" since that was repeated more (Category:American horse racing announcers and Category:Canadian horse racing announcers).
In any case, this nomination is about splitting sportswriters and commentators into seperate categories, and clearly not about whether the term "broadcasters", "announcers", or "commentators" should be used. That is a VERY different discussion and, if you want, we can discuss it that AFTER this Cfd is closed. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would note that there is, in fact, already seperate Cfd open on the matter. So please keep the "should it be announcers or commentators" questions to that one. Making this enquiry here risks derailing this Cfd which, as I mentioned above, is about splitting sportswriters and broadcasters, not renaming "commentators" to "announcers". That is a seperate conversation. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Omnis Scientia, I am suggesting that Category:Lists of horse racing writers and broadcasters should be renamed to Category:Lists of horse racing commentators, which is relevant to this topic. Of the lists in the category, 5 mention commentators, 4 broadcasters and none announcers. I am trying to be brief to avoid derailing the discussion.
I have looked at Category:Sports commentators by sport and it should probably be made more consistent. TSventon (talk) 22:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TSventon, the only thing to ask here is whether you support the purpose of this nomination. I'll change the name for the "List" category but I won't for the main category. I have given my reasons for why I chose "announcers" and I think that I went about it the right way. Which term to use should be dealt seperately.
@Smasongarrison, what do you think? Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:10, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to defer to Omnis on this, their reasoning is sound. Mason (talk) 14:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TSventon, would appreciate you clearing up whether you are for or against this nomination. I think it is quite fair when I say that we can open a Cfd on what horse race callers are called after this Cfd is done. Because the sooner this one is wrapped up, the faster we can get to that. If you support it please say so and if you are neutral, please say that. Thank you. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer, I'll also tag you for your opinion here since you commented on a (sort of) related Cfd. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support all but let's use the term commentators more uniformly if possible. SportingFlyer T·C 10:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer, for the time being I will change it to "commentator" but I think there will have to be another Cfd discussing which term should be used. There is a lot inconsistancy in Category:Sports commentators. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support all but let's use the term commentators more uniformly if possible (per SportingFlyer). TSventon (talk) 13:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting :
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCYEAR: avoid creating a category tree of individual by year categories with very few members, So for example, instead of grouping by year, group by decade. And then diffuse the by decade categories by year only when necessary. This tree doesn't need to be diffused by year for the nominated categories. Upmerge. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no objection to the upmerge, but I think we should add the "Category:
Educational organizations established i1XXX" to the upmerge since those categories also have very few items (all the random categories I checked had only the libraries established in as content).DGtal (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, but think it'd be better served by a separate discussion. However, I won't object to doing that in this discussion if consensus agrees. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Century categories are way too big to help in navigation. How can you locate the relevant articles? Dimadick (talk) 21:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There are 23 articles in the 16th century and 26 articles in the 17th century. I most certainly would not state that diffusing that by decade or year is necessary by any means as clearly stated in WP:OCYEAR. Articles are perfectly accessible to be found in the century-level or Educational orgs tree. Navigation is severely inhibited by the current structure. The 13-15th centuries only have a century level and seem perfectly found. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:55, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support per nom. There just aren't enough libraries to justify this level of precision for these centuries. Mason (talk) 01:33, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge the individual year categories and keep the decades categories.--User:Namiba 17:54, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that'd be useful though. In my response to Dimadick, I said there are just 23 in the 16th century and 26 in the 17th century. Diffusing by decade is not necessary there. When/if the category grows, then it should then be diffused by decade. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:40, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 20:03, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With only the parent article and the players subcategory, this category adds an unnecessary layer which impedes on navigational usefulness. If kept, should be renamed to Category:Daejeon Samsung Fire Bluefangs. ✗plicit 00:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per a previous CfD in 2019. Much too broad as inclusion only seems to be determined by a year. I am not sure why the actresses subcategory wasn’t included in the earlier discussion so I am adding both here for a new discussion rather than request a G4 speedy.

  • Delete, too arbitrary inclusion criterion. Many actors were active before and after 1960. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support in principle. But it should be merged to 20th-century American male Actors/ actresses Mason (talk) 05:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • The articles are already in a 20th-century actors by nationality category. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge for now to all parent categories, only one article in the category. This is without objection to recreate the category when some more articles are available. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The nomination is inaccurate. There are three articles in this category, not one. Dimadick (talk) 21:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • There was one article at the time of the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support per nom, even with three. Re @Dimadick's opposition, is your objection due to the fact that there are 3 pages in the category OR nomination is no longer accurate? Mason (talk) 01:37, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I view three articles as quite enough for a transport category, though there may be scope for expansion. Dimadick (talk) 16:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: non-defining: I don't think that being a Volunteer (capital punishment) is a defining feature of any of the people in these categories. Mason (talk) 03:43, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    May there be standards and definitions set? There are multiple inmates fitting the qualification, and it’s important when it comes to related studies! The categories were rapidly expanded majorly based on many pages involving waivers of appeals, yes, but we can decrease the list of names by clearer terms! ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 03:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What are you gonna do next at this rate, nominate my baby farming category?! ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 16:33, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    May we place a better definition for volunteer execution in the category? Like, an inmate should say they want to die, that they try to force the issue even by more crime while they’re in car, that their legal actions should indicatively clarify they want to be executed, not just that they gave up on fighting it. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 00:24, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Even if you had a better/clearer definition, the problem is that people aren't defined by whether they're volunteering. It could be interesting as list, but not as a category. Mason (talk) 05:33, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Then let’s discuss here a list that can be made! Dynamic, obviously. Where do we start? The page that already says volunteer execution, or creating a new one entirely? ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 16:43, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @ContributingHelperOnTheSide: with the amount of articles in this category, a separate new list article would be recommendable. There is no need for further discussion, you can just go ahead. Lists are not in the scope of this forum. (reply added after relisting) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:57, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Marcocapelle: Not a list in the same article? Either way, I’ll need time to work with the categorizes before they’re erased. ContributingHelperOnTheSide (talk) 22:53, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
