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. Cerebellum (talk) 15:52, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
When foreign heads of state visited Yugoslavia or vice versa, they received the Order of the Yugoslav Star as a souvenir from the government as part of the official welcome. If you're wondering just how much category clutter these categories could possibly create for heads of state, just take a look at the train wreck at the bottom of this article. If we delete this category, the recipients will still be listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 07:26, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Order of the Royal House of Chakri is given to members of the royal family who are already well categorized under Category:Chakri dynasty. In some cases, it's given to foreign heads of state like George VI and Dwight D. Eisenhower. In both cases the award is secondary to the underlying reason for notability. If we decide to delete these categories, the foreign recipients are listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:47, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: I normally listify before nominating but there's so many royal family members I thought the complete list would not be practical. But, based on your comment, I just copied the current contents of the category on the talk page right here so that, if you want to listify, you don't have to re-research the current category contents.

The result of the discussion was: keep. Cerebellum (talk) 15:44, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, these are mostly civil parishes, towns and villages that happen to coincide with Roman Catholic parishes. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:15, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – I checked the first 50% or so of the articles and they all mentioned being parishes of the Catholic church in the first para. So the nondef charge seems to fail. (Don't all parishes 'happen' to coincide with something else?) Oculi (talk) 20:03, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The WP articles are there because they are about a civil parish and/or a village, the Catholic parish is not a defining characteristic of the civil parish and/or village. They are essentially a different thing than the civil parish and/or village, and just mentioned in the article because they share name and area. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The parish of Templemore, Clonmore and Killea is an ecclesiastical parish. The town of Templemore has a page in its own right as do the villages of Clonmore and Killea. It is the combined entity that is a parish. In other cases, the church building is the embodiment of the parish and of the locality. In such small, rural cases, there is often no structure worthy of note that is not a church building of the parish. Where buildings of the Church of Ireland are also situated within the parish boundaries, in most cases, that CoI church will not be part of a parish in that locality. This is because most CoI parishes in Ireland have merged, due to declining numbers, so the official parish is the "Union of Castleknock and Clonsilla with Mulhuddart" whereas each of the named entities might be a RC parish in its own right. Actually, in the case of Castleknock, there are at least three RC parishes in the locality, including the St Thomas, the Apostle parish, Laurel Lodge which is also an ecclesiastical parish, not a civil parish or a recognized legal entity. As the lead in the civil parish article states, "They no longer correspond to the boundaries of Roman Catholic or Church of Ireland parishes, which are generally larger.". Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:39, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but Purge -- The content should be limited to articles on ecclesiastical parishes, not articles on places that happen to have a RC church. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:18, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I was planning to just move this to Category:NCT (band), but there's not enough content to even warrant the eponymous category for this group per long-standing precedent and WP:OCEPON. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:13, 3 January 2017 (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: merge to Category:Fictional scientists. Cerebellum (talk) 15:24, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, as it's quite unlikely that "applied scientist" exists as a real life occupation (or as a set of occupations). We neither have an article Applied scientist nor a Category:Applied scientists. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:01, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nancy King live albums

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 to Category:Nancy King (jazz singer) albums (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not my area, but according to the article Nancy King (jazz singer) has only made one live album so at present this is a true WP:SMALLCAT. Apparently she has made 10 albums, so the potential is there for a respectable albums category by the standards of these things - but at present none of the studio albums have articles. Still, I'd tend to give her the benefit of the doubt on that front for the time being, and assume the lack of articles reflects bebop being less popular than One Direction rather than the albums themselves being non-notable.
