Category:Soviet balloonists

[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. MER-C 09:24, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A number of reasons:
(1) All of its potential members would be redundant to Category:Russian balloonists or similar constituent countries.
(2) Its only actual member (Victor Zagainov) is already located in Category:Kazakhstani balloonists.
(3) Zagainov was the first and only hot air balloon champion of the USSR (per the article).
(4) Therefore, this meets WP:SMALLCAT.
All of Category:Balloonists by nationality probably needs to be looked at, but this is the only child category I know for sure doesn't need to exist. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 23:59, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 09:16, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The scope of this category is just too broad. Every TV show has friends in it, that doesn't mean they are about friendship. There's been a rash lately of over-categorization of shows to the point where an article has half a screen's worth of categories pointing out every aspect of it, whether it's defining or not. ... discospinster talk 22:18, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: East Midlands Trains franchise will be superseded by East Midlands Railway on 18 August, all stations currently operated by EMT will transfer to EMR plus a couple more on the Barton line that can be added manually. Precedent is to rename a category when a UK rail franchise changes hands, e.g. Railway stations served by Virgin Trains East Coast was renamed Railway stations served by London North Eastern Railway.

Nominator's rationale: To make more general categories (e.g. to include "User interested in Christianity" userbox) and for consistency with parent categories (Category:Christianity templates, Category:Jews and Judaism templates, Category:Islam templates, Category:Paganism templates).

Category:Romani people in film

[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. MER-C 09:23, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to clarify that this is intended for films that focus on the Romani people in some manner; not for incidental or non-significant appearances. DonIago (talk) 20:14, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. All "in film" categories should be renamed to "films about" for the same reason. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Not all films listed in this category are about Romani people per se but they feature significantly. It would be difficult to describe The Wolf Man as about Romani people but the inclusion is sufficient to merit mention. As with similarly named categories, the intention is to create a directory so that researchers can quickly locate items that feature Romani people. For that reason I think "in film" works, while "films about" would essentially mean that this information would be erased. Bohemian Alchemist (talk) 11:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please see WP:CATDEF. A category should be applied when it is a defining characteristic of the subject of the article to which it is being applied. If the Romani "feature significantly" in the films in question, then retitling the category shouldn't especially impact whether it can be applied to the film article in question. However, I saw this category applied to Bram Stoker's Dracula, and I have to ask whether the film would be in any way meaningfully different in the Romani were replaced with non-Romani? If the answer to that is no, then a Romani category is not appropriate for the film regardless of the category name. You may also wish to review this discussion, which laid the groundwork for many categories being renamed from "in film" to "Films about" with general support for such efforts. Cheers.

Nominator's rationale: Same as Category:Republika Srpska international footballers and Category:Republika Srpska official football team managers, this category supposedly covers non-existent Republika Srpska national football team, and several associate articles. "National team" as defined by Wikipedia article National team usually doesn't exists at the level of regional football association and regional administrative unit or entity, which is part of FIFA/UEFA affiliated nation/state (in this case Bosnia and Herzegovina) - in essence, it's like saying and creating category "Swabian" or "Bavarian national football team" instead of "German national football team". Few articles included in this category are on players, who are already categorized in other appropriate categories. Apart from being on "national team" on local administrative entity which isn't a nation, category practically overlaps with Category:Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team - first is administrative part of a nation of Bosnia, and another is nation of Bosnia affiliated UEFA and FIFA member. It can't be this kind of separate categorization on Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, or sportsmen/women for that matter, based on country's administrative entities, and against WP:NOTA, WP:NFOOTY, WP:SPORTBASIC and especially WP:FOOTYN. Finally, it fails in following Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Category completely. ౪ Santa ౪99° 02:44, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Interestingly, both of these articles, which seemingly senior experienced User:Grutness, and admin at that, was able to dig out, are created by same editor, User:Calapez, and both of the articles stand there without single references, and both in a way describing and following obvious separatists political pattern in contested areas, both in real world and on Wikipedia, and both have nothing in common, not even remotely, with case of Republika Srpska regional association, which is vital part of Bosnian association and not separate and/or separatist (for now at least) - oh, wait, there is one source in both of these and in article on Republika Srpska, self-published, by mysterious "Non-FIFA News agency" at non-fifa-news-agency.netau.net, archived at Wayback machine for 2009 than moved to blogger.com for 2012, and defunct ever since.--౪ Santa ౪99° 07:32, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I could name a dozen more such articles, by several different editors, many of them well sourced. I'd suggest looking at the articles for the national football teams of Tibet, the Isle of Wight, Zanzibar, Sapmi, Occitania, Kurdistan, Northern Cyprus, Trnasnistria,Zanzibar, Somaliland, Kárpátalja, Tamil Eelam, Panjab, Székely Land, Cascadia, and Matabeleland, to name just a few. And it's a tenet of Wikipedian editing not to bring either an editor's experience or lack of it into consideration when discussing an editor's opinions or !votes. In any case, if you look closely, I'm agreeing with you as far as deletion is concerned, so there is no need for such back-handed personal attacks - if there ever is. And given your history of arguments involving articles related to Srpska, I would suggest that throwing stones from a glass house is not a good idea in any case. As for Calapez, that editor has created many football-related articles, and did not create all the articles I mentioned. I further note the pointy prods you added to the articles, all of which were quickly removed by other editors. Grutness...wha? 05:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I actually noticed that you are agreeing with me concerning issue, and looking at your last reply the strange feeling overwhelms me that you somewhat misread the way I addressed you as "seemingly senior experienced User, and admin at that", and so on - to call it "personal attack" is a bit far-fetched; I brought your "experience" to the table, now you are bringing my "history", which is more significant for the discussion I can't tell - it was intended to point on seriousness of this case and its broader context, which is, I (and probably some others) believe, contentious if not outright and completely against most basic project rules and guidelines (I am fanatical football aficionado too, but I never even heard of majority of those "national" teams included into aforementioned Cat). However, now I am compelled to respond, nevertheless. I know you can recite team after team, it doesn't mean that you should, because vast majority shouldn't be there at all to begin with, but also because they can't be related in significant way with a specific case - I checked entire Category:European national and official selection-teams not affiliated to FIFA my self, and although few are reasonably notable but mostly unverifiable and poorly or not sourced at all, it's filled with "well sourced" articles on "national", and of lately "official" (which is clever little WP:MASK for notability), teams of every region and locality imaginable, especially where separatist politics takes significant role, and similar feelings are mirrored on the project. But, that cherry-picking doesn't make any more comparable such cases of Tibet and Northern Cyprus with Srpska or Gozo for that matter. Great that you checked my history of "arguments" involving Srpska, only you should immediately point to those which you find problematic, and also significant for my arguments here. Yes, I proded those "national" teams like Gozo national team and such "notable" European football institutes, I wonder on what grounds they intend to keep those articles, and yes, someone removed prod, such as the step in a procedure. But, how you know that they are "pointy", anyway.--౪ Santa ౪99° 11:05, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I understand it's a terrible weather around Balkan, it's something like above 35C and windless with extreme humidity so it feels like above 40C, but editors don't need lessons in history from the perspective of one of their own, editors need sources and sources, especially if they are neutral and reliable, so that editors can check the articles (and I guess affiliated Cat's) for verifiability and establish notability.

  • Delete per GiantSnowman. Republika Srpska currently doesn't have a FIFA-granted member status, thus this category is not relevant.--Darwinek (talk) 23:31, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Is it really necessary to relist discussions when and/or if they are at 3:1 for deletion (in this case Grutness, GiantSnowman, and me) ? Now with Darwinek expressed opinion (and vote) it's 4:1 for deletion - sometimes much closer and more vague and ambiguous cases go through with less uncertainty of outcome. --౪ Santa ౪99° 20:42, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Standard terminology for members of paramilitary group, matches supercat (Category:Haganah members). "Palmachniks" is widely used, but may be too idiosyncratic. Zerach (talk) 08:59, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
