Nominator's rationale: Upmgerge for now. There's no need to have just one (or two) politicians in these categories. Mason (talk) 20:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The scripts are mostly not so much official as just conventional, and I don't think the distinction is particularly useful. PepperBeast (talk) 17:23, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) 17:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article each; merge, for now, with parent category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The primary category tree for these articles is the ice hockey people tree and American Ice hockey people by state. Merging to the generic sportspeople category would remove the articles from the more important category tree. DJSasso (talk) 01:19, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The two category trees serve different purposes. The American ice hockey players is based on their international playing status/nationality. The other tree is based on where they are born. They portray two different sets of information which yes most often overlaps but doesn't always. -DJSasso (talk) 18:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The primary category tree for these articles is the ice hockey people tree and American Ice hockey people by state. Merging to the generic sportspeople category would remove the articles from the more important category tree. DJSasso (talk) 01:20, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now there's only one or two people in these categories, which is unhelpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 01:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There's only two generals in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 13:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 12:56, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, Bangladesh did not exist for a long time after these people were independence activists and West Bengal at least not before the independence of India. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom Mason (talk) 20:07, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: What about maintaining separate categories for East and West Bengals? 61.244.93.97 (talk) 09:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: upmerge for now. There's only one page in each, which is unhelpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 05:53, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now keep the 18th century but delete the 21st century. The latter consists of articles about people who were mainly active in the 20th century, per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have now added four new biographies and weeded out a couple of the oldest people who did not seem to ghave been very active after the turn of the century. The four new biographies are all about people who are either still active or have been so until fairly recently.Ramblersen2 (talk) 11:41, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 12:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to diffuse by denomination of church. Mason (talk) 00:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would not object to upmerging to the Chinese categories. Hong Kong has become part of China even if it has a bit of autonomy. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • This isn't relevant. There are dependencies which are possessions of different sovereign nations and got little or no autonomy. 188.211.233.131 (talk) 14:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree. What matters is the fact that Hong Kong is now part of China. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • No it isn't part of that in the same way like provinces or province-level municipalities. It's just like Curaçao and Sint Maarten that are not part of the Netherlands in the same manner as Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are. 46.229.243.187 (talk) 08:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Curaçao is not part of the Netherlands at all. Hong Kong is part of China. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Populate with what? If there are any articles that belong here, feel free to add them right away. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Non-defining. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 12:35, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per Arbitrary Cat User:Namiba 00:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Defining characteristic. Let'srun (talk) 19:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    How is it defining? This seems very arbitrary to me. Why not two career hits? Mason (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Letsrun. One hit only players are talked about in media, two not so much. -DJSasso (talk) 14:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Trivia is often discussed in the media. WP:CATDEF says "The defining characteristics of an article's topic are central to categorizing the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to[1] in describing the topic, such as the nationality of a person or the geographic location of a place." Does the fact that a player managed only a single career hit rise to this level?--User:Namiba 15:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete how is this defining? I am getting zero relevent results when I search major league baseball players with one career hit -wikipedia. Do any of the keepers have links to reliable sources which discuss one hitters as such? HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:29, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
