Category:Ghais Guevara[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. SD by me (creator). (non-admin closure) Coop (talk) 07:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: One additional article besides the main article. No need for an eponymous category, too. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:09, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete: Sorry, I am not familiar with the criteria for categories. I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Coop (talk) 07:02, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the two articles are already directly interlinked. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:12, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American men centenarians[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The result of the discussion was: withdrawn.. (non-admin closure) Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge with parent categories for now. This is the only cross between nationality and gender for centenarians. I don't know how necessary it is but there is no such other category like it at the moment. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Category creator) Given how many entries each parent category current has (1,735 and 2,920, respectively), I don't think diffusing them hurts. I'm sure a lot more of these could be made for the same reason, they just haven't been yet. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 02:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, one may wonder if centenarian is still a special thing, as we meanwhile have a large number of articles about supercentenarians too. Readers interested in the extreme age topic will find enough material in the supercentenarians tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle, I would say that people are definitely more likely to live to a 100 now than they were in the past but that its still rare enough to be a notable thing. Of course, that is only my opinion and probably a much bigger debate should be had on this matter.
    As for this particular one, the question is whether these categories should be diffused and more categories like Category:American men centenarians should be made. I can see that diffusion can make navigation easier. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:55, 29 April 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: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 22:46, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:POVFORKs of Category:Nationalists by nationality. The catnames assert the existence of said "nations", which is a controversial subject as a whole, and controversial in every single example ever asserted due to competing claims of various nationalists. All contents are found in the Category:Nationalists by nationality tree already anyway. NLeeuw (talk) 22:36, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 22:46, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. Almost completely the same contents, except framing the Middle East in terms of the largest ethnolinguistic group, the Arabs. NLeeuw (talk) 22:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Bare assertions do not carry much weight. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 22:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. Although the cat is interesting, this category isn't a defining feature for anyone but the very first cases, which isn't the case for most of the folks ib here Mason (talk) 22:11, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 22:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. each of these categories only has 1 person in it, which isn't helpful for navigation, especially considering how small the parent category is Mason (talk) 21:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 22:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between occupation and specific cause of death. I've ensured that each member of the category is in an artists category and a murder victim category. Mason (talk) 21:08, 28 April 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: rename and split as nominated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 23:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Language and ethnicity are different. The Kurdish category needs to be split. Mason (talk) 17:07, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Iraqi Kurdistan is a thing though. An autonomous semi-independent region with its own citizenship, if not nationality. I think what you are proposing is a change of scope. Lots of inhabitants of Iraqi Kurdistan do not speak or write Kurdish. NLeeuw (talk) 22:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to add another split target. My impression was that these two categories were intended to be language categories based on them being in Iraqi poets by language. Mason (talk) 03:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Iraqi Turkmen is also an ethnic group, but I agree with Mason that poets are better to be categorized by language that they are writing in. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair points. Taking a closer look, I see that Iraqi Kurdistan and Kurdistan Region are two separate articles, the latter the political one. Alright, Support per nom. NLeeuw (talk) 05:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sámi textbook writers[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 to Category:Sámi non-fiction writers and Category:Textbook writers; the argument surrounding OCEGRS has not been rebutted. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:30, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is not a defining intersection under WP:EGRS. The intersection of textbook writers and sami ethnicity isn't defining. (FYI: the existence of non-sami versions of the category is not sufficient.) Mason (talk) 16:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be blunt, it is defining in a Sámi context and even on the enwp, even if it is not in your opinion. The category exists to differentiate Sámi non-fiction writers who are textbook writers from those Sámi non-fiction writers who are not textbook writers. Or seen from the other direction: Sámi non-fiction writers can write multiple different types of books, not just textbooks. - Yupik (talk) 16:39, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is it defining under EGRS? I looked but did not find evidence that this was an established intersection in academic sources. Even if you were to argue that the category is helpful for diffusion, you still need to make the case that this is a defining category. Mason (talk) 17:01, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yupik Please review EGRS, saying something is defining in a sami context isn't particularly convincing, unless you can point to evidence. Mason (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, unless any counter evidence is provided this is a straightforward application of the WP:OC guideline. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 16:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redudant category layer. There's only one category in here, Category:Cultural depictions of Freddie Mercury‎, which probably... isn't a defining feature of FM. Mason (talk) 16:07, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 23:57, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A category for recipients of an awarded by a video game magazine. There are hundreds of magazines awarding their own awards. Not defining. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:22, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. CVG is the oldest and longest running magazine in the world. Very well respected, and being a multi format magazine, it offers a unique perspective and way of comparing games across generations. The award was used as a selling point in videogames advertising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.155.34 (talk) 15:47, 28 April 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: rename to Category:Pro-Khalistan rebel groups. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, "militant outfits" is a phrase that I have never seen before in category names. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:29, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is a confusing tree. I'm not voting anything yet, I think we need to explore the options first. The main article appears to be Groups of Khalistan movement, which is also a grammatically incorrect title. I think the parent categories provide the best clues: these are Sikh rebel or terrorist groups which seek to establish an independent Khalistan or Sikh state in Punjab through armed violence. I think "organisations" is too generic. How about "Khalistan rebel groups", "Khalistan militant groups" or "Khalistan terrorist organisations"? The articles seem to say almost every single one of them, except Sikhs for Justice, has been designated a terrorist organisation by the government of India, and sometimes other states as well. But since "terrorist" can be POV, "rebel groups" is perhaps more neutral. NLeeuw (talk) 09:59, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Rebel groups" is certainly more to the point than the too general "organizations" and this is an established category as well. So definitely an improvement. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks. Any thoughts on "Khalistan" versus "pro-Khalistan"? This is the only cat in the tree to use "pro-"; it seems redundant, although not necessarily wrong. NLeeuw (talk) 20:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Caribbean people of Arab descent[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 upmerge. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 23:20, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, very few articles and for the biographies it is not clear whether the subjects are really of ethnic Arab descent. They could be Druze, Copts, Assyrians, the articles just do not tell about it. A dual merge is not always needed, the biographies are already in Category:People of Syrian descent etc. and the topic articles are already in Category:Arab diaspora in the Caribbean.

  • The latter is a fair point, it should be split between Asian and African. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dimadick: are you okay with a manual upmerge (which would merge to the appropriate parent categories, be it Asian, North Africa, or something else entirely), or are you opposed to merging in general? HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, manual upmerge seems fine to me. Dimadick (talk) 22:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lean to delete single merge, these are articles about rulers who adopted their successor in this period, comparable to Roman emperors in another period. It has little to do with adoption in the modern period. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Shouldn't they still be merged to the relevant century cateogry? Mason (talk) 01:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge. There's no need to diffuse the intersection of ethnity, cause of death, nationality, and occupation. Mason (talk) 12:42, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

North Asia[edit]

The result of the discussion was: redirect and delete as nominated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete/redirect, the content in these categories is broader than North Asia which is not very helpful, e.g. about Russia as a whole, or the Soviet Union as a whole. Even the Japanese Empire is among its former countries. The only content that really belongs is about Siberia, which already has its own categories, except for Category:Exploration of Siberia. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
