Category:Rusyn communities in Vojvodina

[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: deleted by INeverCry on 10 March. Nyttend (talk) 01:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is the only subcategory of Rusyn communities in Serbia, and has only two articles in it. It was created by a sock of banned User:Oldhouse2012 as part of a POV-pushing drive regarding which ethnic group is the majority in villages and towns in Vojvodina. There is a clearly useful function in the other Rusyn categories, but this one is still intended as part of the POV-push. IMO it would be better to have a list article of "List of Rusyn communities in Vojvodina" where majority or plurality is left to one side. The figures used are arbitrary and meaningless for the encyclopedia. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 22:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly, but I really think the "majority"/"plurality" issue is one we should steer away from, particularly by country. It just opens up a can of worms. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 00:06, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. The Bushranger One ping only 06:21, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per norm (like Category:Witchcraft in folklore and mythology and the parent category Witchcraft, and even the word "witches" redirecting to "witchcraft"). Niemti (talk) 19:27, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Television series by Buena Vista Television to Category:Television series by Disney-ABC Television
Nominator's rationale: Disney no longer uses the "Buena Vista" brand name for its television unit, instead the Disney or ABC brands (or both) are used. It's been like this for half a decade. Freshh (talk) 17:47, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Mice (band) albums. Jafeluv (talk) 09:59, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Mice (band) redirects to Julianne Regan. —Justin (koavf)TCM 17:21, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and rename to Category:Mice (band) albums, because these are not Julianne Regan albums but a band of which she was a member. Note that because a band doesn't have an article doesn't mean articles for albums can't exist if sufficient notability is established (a separate discussion), and the most defining aspect of an album is the artist who recorded it. Maybe a stub article can be created for the band. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:32, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Response Making a stub will actually just solve this problem. —Justin (koavf)TCM 23:37, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep. Jafeluv (talk) 09:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Kalahari Surfers redirects to Warrick Sony and the musical project is essentially him solo. —Justin (koavf)TCM 17:14, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Executed Qing Dynasty 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: no consensus. All of the contents are in both categories, so it would seem that there is redundancy here. I think both trees need to be looked at to see if there is close to complete overlap. If so, a global merge might be in order.--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:33, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale There are more articles in the target. Both cover the same topic. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:29, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reply the Category:Executed Chinese people is part of a wide tree structure so I agree that it should probably be maintained. However, it raises serious questions in my mind as to the appropriateness of splitting a nationality by dynasty. Splitting by century is one thing, but by dynasty is altogether different. Why is China alone in having such a structure? If the same was to be suggested for English dynasties, it would rightly be condemned as over-categorisation. So the same comment is probably true for Category:People executed by the Qing Dynasty. "Category:People executed by China" was probably suffice. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:35, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Amethi district. The Bushranger One ping only 06:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: the district name has changed to Amethi district. Article pages have been updated with new district name. Need to move this category and its subcategories to use the right district name. GDibyendu (talk) 10:20, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: District name has changed to Amethi district, defined new category accordingly. This old one needs to be deleted. GDibyendu (talk) 10:09, 2 March 2013 (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: merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:22, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: With the one exception of Indian cinema, all film stubs are by country and not language. For example, we have German film stubs, not German-language film stubs. This should be upmerged to the Iranian stub category. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 10:07, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You've missed the point with German-language films. That could be films from Austria or Switzerland too. French-language films don't mean they're French films, and so on. The article talkpage has the Persian cinema task force tag for Iranian films, so I see no reason reason why there should be a stub cat for the language. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:28, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You've missed the point too. Stubs, not article, are done by country, not language. See Category:Film stubs by country. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:48, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is not helpful to tell others that they've "missed the point", just because they disagree with your nomination. Maybe the category simply needs to be moved, rather than merged or deleted. But with all due respect, when more than one person has provided a reason for why the category may be necessary, maybe you are the one who is missing the point... Fortdj33 (talk) 18:45, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The comments below confirm that it is in fact you who has missed the point. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:05, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge India is a very special case, and its irregularities should not be used to mess up general by country schemes. India is one of very few places where a by language split to the film industry makes sense, and its unique issues should not be used to mess up workable by country schemes elsewhere.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:12, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/Delete per Lugnuts. There is no Category:Film stubs by language tree, and we are talking about a category created the same day as this discussion, so there is nothing to the argument we are removing these from one of the trees. Iranian film stubs is 160 films, to the 3000 of India, and none of the arguments for why India should be an exception to the established system have been applied to Iran/Persian. --Qetuth (talk) 05:31, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per the two people above me. India is irrelevant here — it needs to be split by language because so many different languages are prominent in the country and in its film industry; in contrast, Iran has a single dominant language, so splitting its stubs by language is unhelpful. And why would we care about Category:Films by language? We frequently have different arrangements of stub categories and content categories (if you want to change that, you should start on a much broader forum), so you're definitely missing the point when you try to apply one category tree to the other.

Category:Social protection in France

[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. The Bushranger One ping only 06:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I just moved social protection in France to its correct name, welfare in France. The term social protection in this context seems nothing but a bad translation of French term for welfare, protection sociale (the French article is at fr:Protection sociale en France), so this category is simply an alternate name for Category:Welfare in France which it is already a subcat of. (On that note, a French speaker should investigate whether an article on welfare is correctly interwikid to fr:Bien-être, I don't think so, but my french is just intermediate level). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:17, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agree Welfare is a standard category, Social protection is not.Hugo999 (talk) 08:46, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
