Category:21st-century presidents in Europe

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. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:19, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 May 30#Category:21st-century women presidents in Europe. Indirectly WP:G4 per the 2010 "20th and 21st-century rulers" CfD, which led to the deletion of Category:21st-century national presidents in Europe, Category:20th-century national presidents in Europe, and more. Because the 2010 CfD is quite long ago, and "21st-century women presidents in Europe" CfM had minimal participation, I'm going to be careful and only nominate this category (which I created 2 weeks ago) and its children for now, and see if people agree.

Nominator's rationale: This new name would correspond better to the existing Category:Pro-Ukraine foreign volunteers in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which is used for individuals rather than units. GCarty (talk) 19:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More nominations
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Not enough content on a yearly basis for pre-confederation Newfoundland. The present-day province Newfoundland and Labrador was established in September 1949 when it was annexed into Canada (that tree is not being altered). Newfoundland was a part of the British Empire as Newfoundland Colony (1610–1907). The Dominion of Newfoundland (1907–1949) succeeded the colony and was granted self-governance until the Great Depression forced them to return to British dependence in 1934. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:42, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. I theory this all sounds very neat. But in practice, anything which involves replacing one category on an article with three other categories is a surefire recipe for chaos.
    This one-to-three recipe can be implemented accurately here at CFD, where multiple experienced category editors have tools at their disposal. But after CFD, most categories will be added by editors who are not category geeks, and what are the chances of a non-geek knowing that this needs three categories? The probability is about zero ... so the effect of these merges would be to guarantee miscategorisation in the future.
    A why do this? The use of two-row {{Navseasoncats}} allows fast and easy navigation between these categories, which would be lost in any merge. Why go to all the trouble of making a huge nomination to break something that is working? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:30, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom, mostly single-article categories and some years are lacking entirely. I am not convinced that editors are inventing from scratch in which categories an article belongs (that would result in massive undercategorization) or any other additional script e.g. for templates, rather they will copy it from a similar article. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle there is indeed massive undercategorization. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • That is not my experience. I have removed more category tags (per WP:SUBCAT) than added new ones - while I have done both, a lot. But whatever I have done, I did it often for many articles in the same category, because editors have clearly been copying category tags. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:26, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support- it is true that {{Navseasoncats}} provides a very elegant tree of correctly parented and readily linked subcategories. However this should not be used on an insufficient number of articles. How many articles are needed in a century before a 'by year' system is useful? Surely 100 is barely minimal. According to AWB's recursive list, Category:18th century in Newfoundland contains in all 6 articles, Category:19th century in Newfoundland has 48 (which suggests 'by decade' to me), and Category:20th century in Newfoundland has 124 (over 50 years), that is around 2.5 per year. (Many are not tagged so far.) Oculi (talk) 13:28, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for Now with no objection to recreating any parts of the tree that exceed our expectations and make it to 5 articles for most subcats. The current overly fine grained breakdown is not working, it breaks up articles. Having whole sections of under-populated category trees goes beyond the exception for "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" envisioned in WP:SMALLCAT. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sports clubs and teams established in 1787

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. Although BrownHairedGirl (talk · contribs) has raised reasonable concerns about systematic consistency, there is overwhelming precedent that categories that are early in history do not need to be diffused as finely as later years. And in this case, there are not enough articles to diffuse the 18th century below the decade level. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:09, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT (1 P). The established tree starts later. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:47, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. WP:SMALLCAT has always allowed single-article categories as part of a series. If you want there to be no single-article categories in a series, go open a WP:RFC.
    And the claim that The established tree starts later is a load of nonsense, a silly assertion designed to twist and misrepresent the guideline. The established tree grows and develops as the 'pedia develops, and any by-year "established tree" starts with the earliest year in which we currently have an article: there is no fixed boundary. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:38, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose per BHG's excellent analysis. SportingFlyer T·C 21:33, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, the entire 18th century in organized by decade rather than by year. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:51, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Marcocapelle. Category:Sports clubs and teams established in the 18th century contains in all 50 articles, far too few for a 'by year' subcat scheme. In fact even the next layer up, Category:Sports organizations established in the 18th century has in all 50 articles in 23 subcats. Oculi (talk) 22:46, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Marcocapelle. The exception for "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" in WP:SMALLCAT can allow for 1 article subcats in an otherwise well populated tree, but creating a whole anemic 18th Century tree here does not aid navigation. Ever reaching a point where most of the 18th century years reach 5 articles seems unlikely. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:07, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ecclesiastical passivity to Catholic sexual abuse cases

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: listify into Parish transfers of abusive Catholic priests. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Rename per head article Parish transfers of abusive Catholic priests, and purge.
Clerical passivity in sexual abuse cases is of course a serious and widespread problem, with many well-documented cases of failure to meaningfully investigate or report horrible crimes. However, the level of passivity required for inclusion in this category is a subjective test, and any attempt to define a threshold would be WP:ARBITRARYCAT.
However, transferring a priest to another parish is clear: either the transfer happened, or it did not. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 20:43, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The main cat and both subcats only have one entry each. Not much point in keeping them separated if they're gonna be three SMALLCATs. If they do get kept then they need renamed to "Sammy Hagar and the Circle". QuietHere (talk | contributions) 10:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
