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. Timrollpickering 10:02, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I think this is the result of an inexperienced editor but I'm not entirely sure. These should probably be merged since this substantially duplicate their content. (It might be reasonable to outright delete them as SMALLCAT, but I don't see a pressing need for such.) Izno (talk) 22:16, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[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: Rename. Timrollpickering 10:02, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Consistency with other categories such as Category:Birds of Africa, Category:Fish of Antarctica and Category:Fish of the Arctic Ocean. DexDor (talk) 19:40, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, it is more formal and encyclopedic in tone to refer to "Foo of Bar" topics than "Bar Foo" topics. I am not sure that "Ocean" is necessary for pinnipeds, however, as they are merely semi-aquatic. bd2412 T 19:38, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pinnipeds (seals) live only in or very near the ocean so I've proposed consistency with cetaceans rather than consistency with birds. DexDor (talk) 19:35, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:SuperSoul100

[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. Timrollpickering 19:32, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Promotion of a non-notable award. Ronz (talk) 16:31, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no article SuperSoul100. Oculi (talk) 16:46, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This article is not of encyclopedic interest. It is trivia, and has caused its originator to spam numerous articles with links to Oprah Winfrey's website, adding the trivial information that the person was named as influential by Winfrey. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non-defining aspect of the individuals added to the category. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:44, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rationale re: category creation -- I became interested in the group of people who comprise this category after happening upon and reading several Wikipedia biography articles where the award/honor was mentioned. As usual, that piqued my interest and inspired me to read further, on Wikipedia and beyond. I thought it was quite interesting that the people selected to SuperSoul 100[1][2] represented diversity in talent/experience, contribution, nationality, age, etc. ... yet, there were few opportunities for me - or another reader - to easily make the connection between these interesting people. For that reason, I created the new category for persons who had been named to the group, and began populating the category. If the award is not appropriate for a stand-alone Wikipedia category, I understand and support the decision to remove it. On the other hand, if (as was the case when I came across the information) the award is mentioned in the content section and/or infobox fields of biography articles and the mention of the award/honor there is acceptable, I would like to suggest that the newly formed category remain so that interested readers (of which I was/am one) have the opportunity to easily make the connection and click-to-read about other people who have been named to the group. As a relatively new Wikipedia editor with only a few years experience, I would like to offer a sincere apology to Mr/Ms Silvers (Ssilvers) since he/she perceived my effort in grouping these individuals to be "spamming", and as such, I have clearly caused offense to this user; now, and at any time, I would like to say that I welcome all constructive comments, criticism, and/or discussion, and respect whichever decision is made on this topic and others. Laatu (talk) 00:55, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Holocaust books

[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 rename C2C. Timrollpickering 19:22, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To match Category:Novels about the Holocaust, Category:Books about atheism, etc. Catrìona (talk) 15:43, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jewish concentration camp survivors

[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: Kept. Timrollpickering 10:55, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization: "mostly overlapping categories" and "Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation." We don't have categories for female concentration camp survivors, male concentration camp survivors, or Polish concentration camp survivors. Anyone in this category will already be identified as Jewish from other categories that they're in. Catrìona (talk) 15:37, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: if that's the rationale, I would think it would be better at a lower level category, perhaps Category :Jewish Holocaust survivors or similar. As it is, it excludes Hidden children, those who survived various ghettos and massacres, those who fled, and other types of Holocaust survivors. Catrìona (talk) 16:56, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Category :Jewish Holocaust survivors could potentially become an extra layer in between, provided that someone cares about populating that layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 10:54, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate of Category :Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp survivors‎ and Category:People who died in Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, empty Catrìona (talk) 15:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Olympic movement

[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. Timrollpickering 11:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, not a clear distinction with the parent category. We do not have an article Olympic movement either, except as a redirect to International Olympic Committee. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Stations on the Nanjing–Hangzhou Passenger Railway

[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 but no rename. The target category was not tagged so will need to be nominated separately, probably through WP:CSD. Timrollpickering 11:48, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Nanjing–Hangzhou Passenger Railway redirects to Nanjing–Hangzhou high-speed railway.

And rename the target category to use lowercase for HSR. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 03:38, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 11:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary categorization of a band or project as the only article within this category per WP:SMALLCAT and WP:OCEPON. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 02:03, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per nom. Catrìona (talk) 15:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 11:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Plenty of precedent to suggest this isn't a necessary category as per WP:OCEPON with only one subcategory and a navbox template beyond the main article. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:58, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[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. Timrollpickering 11:50, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:CATDEF -- Non-defining category, as none of the subjects are notable for having received this decoration. The category has been previously deleted here: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2017_January_5#Category:Recipients_of_the_Golden_Party_Badge.

9th-century German people

[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: split and merge as nominated. ℯxplicit 05:41, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split/merge since there aren't any 9th-century people who are known as German people. The current territory of Germany was part of the much bigger Carolingian Empire of which East Francia was a later subdivision (which eventually in 962 became the Holy Roman Empire). Marcocapelle (talk) 09:14, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ℯxplicit 00:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
