Template:Barelvi-stub[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) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:42, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Stub template of unclear necessity. It's used on just two articles, neither of which need it as they're not actually short enough to warrant being tagged as stubs at all -- and while the template itself is a couple of months old, within the past couple of days somebody attempted to make it sort its entries into a dedicated "Barelvi stubs" category that doesn't exist, which I had to revert because redlinked categories are forbidden (meaning I couldn't just leave it there) but stub categories can't be created for just two pages, and require a minimum of 60. So for all of those reasons, it's unclear whether even the template is necessary. Bearcat (talk) 20:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: better fits the content, as well as sibling categories. These categories are in fact not just about migration but also diaspora including subsequent generations, their culture etc. Follow-up to WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 February 1 § Category:Swedish migration to North America.

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A collective name in the plural is better than an adjective to define this ethnic group. Note that, like in Iraq, Turkmen here refers to people with Turkish roots, not the Turkmens of Turkmenistan. Place Clichy (talk) 15:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:American horse racing announcers. Of course, this does not preclude a discussion on renaming the merge target. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:48, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category using different term but serves the same purpose. Merge newer one with the older one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I think we should leave a redirect. Mason (talk) 12:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @SportingFlyer, again - I agree. But the older category should be prioritzed to be kept. I should tell you that there is a bit of a dispute over whether it should be "announcer" or "commentator" on a seperate Cfd since there are two categories named "announcer", one uses "broadcaster", and a third "racecaller".

Category:Sports broadcasters[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 leaving a redirect. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:36, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a duplicate category which uses a different term and, IMO, doesn't help in navigation. There is just about no difference between a sports "broadcaster", "announcer", and "commentator" except that countries prefer one term over the other AND that the term used differs by sport. I wouldn't create three different categories for what is basically the same job. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I think we should leave a redirect. Mason (talk) 12:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. We don't need to diffuse at the intersection of century + nationality + type of philosopher. (there's not even a main intersection of Category:17th-century political philosophers) Mason (talk) 06:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tower Theater[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) Qwerfjkltalk 19:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous parent category for a set of albums already appropriately categorized by the venue. If there is consensus to keep, it should be moved to Category:Tower Theater (Pennsylvania). StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 03:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, redundant category layer with only a main article and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is no redundancy and no existing geographic or other categorization for these many popular live albums recorded at this historic venue, only a third or so of which have been placed in the category to date. See Category:Albums recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo for a similar existing category. Keystone18 (talk) 00:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Keystone18: Those albums are in Category:Albums recorded at the Tower Theater (Pennsylvania), which has not been nominated for deletion. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:34, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Non-free The New Yorker magazine covers[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: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:34, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These are not-free images which we are claiming fair use protection. Fair use means using the image as conservatively as possible, and they must be a topic of discussion (or serve an identification role). We cannot use the cover of "Dark Side of the Moon" to illustrate the article Prism, etc. Making them easily accessible for people to browse them out of context is beyond our claim of fair use. Categories and lists are similar in many ways. Would we have an illustrated article "List of non-free New Yorker Covers"?

Herostratus (talk) 02:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. We can just add a No gallery template. The purpose of categories is to help navigation and to facilitate maintenance. Mason (talk) 06:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but it already has the appropriate magic word. But wait, I see the issue. If the cover has its own article then it is obviously discussed in context and categorization in the article page (not the file page itself) is OK I would think. You're not directing the reader to a page where a copyrighted image is not discussed. If the image does not have its own article but is used and discussed in article X, then there should be a redirect page directing to the appropriate section of article X, and the category should be added to the redirect page (only). If there doesn't exist an article where the image is discussed (but is shown), we shouldn't be hosting that image.
Possibly you could put the discussion/exposition in the "other info" field of the image file page itself, altho I'm skeptical that this would be OK.
I'm skeptical that any non-free image files should be put into nonhidden categories. Perhaps hidden categories could be added to the image, for maintenance. There may be exceptions, IDK.
Complicated. Probably this is something that should be taken up with the copyright people on the copyright talk page. So I guess it'd be OK (but not really necessary) if you close this request and I could go there.

Category:Songs from films[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: duplicate. (non-admin closure) QueenofHearts 21:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The target category (Category:Songs written for films) has a very different scope, to the point that I think this redirect is problematic. Namely, people might reasonably put a song in this category because it was in some film at one point, only for it to be recategorized as if it was written for the film. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep part of a very-well established parent category. WP:SMALLCAT is no longer consensus and there is no rationale provided. You will notice that Category:College football players in the United States is now basically a container category as it contains no articles.--User:Namiba 17:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Namiba. Jweiss11 (talk) 20:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per Namiba. Would disrupt a decade-plus old categorization scheme and strong oppose merger to the U.S. category, as that would cause disorder among a very well-maintained 19-year-old category that functions only as a container category. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For the closer, please note that the keep voters are part of the college football WikiProject and are lacking basis in policy. Let'srun (talk) 01:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Namiba is not a member of the college football project; I don't find advocating for order and a common sense outcome to be "lacking basis in policy". Can you point to the criteria that states all categories under a certain number of articles are required to be deleted, no matter the fact that it has been consensus for nearly two decades to do it this way?

    I don't see any problem with editors being in a related Wikiproject, as long as there's no WP:CANVAS. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:35, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dual Merge per WP:NARROWCAT. The fact that this category created in 2016 still has 1 entry shows it's not aiding navigation, not that it has too much seniority to be deleted. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Dual merge per Marcocapelle. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This has much, much more use in navigation than merging to "College football players in the United States"; I think nearly everyone would agree with me that if someone was looking for Frederick Lions players, and they knew that the categorization scheme was players by team, they would search "Frederick Lions football players": it would make no sense that they would search for "College football players in the United States", an immensely broad category with the potential for tens of thousands of articles if not for the orderly way that this would be disrupting.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Hence the dual merge to Category:Frederick Lions athletes. If a few more more relevant biography articles are created to avoid WP:NARROWCAT, by all means recreate this category since it will then start serving a navigational function. - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dual merge per above. –Aidan721 (talk) 02:22, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dual merge per above - a bit too small of a category. SportingFlyer T·C 09:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The target category (Category:Songs written for films) has a very different scope, to the point that I think this redirect is problematic. Namely, people might reasonably put a song in this category because it was in some film at one point, only for it to be recategorized as if it was written for the film.
