Category:Wikipedians interested in number words

[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 - jc37 08:14, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Despite the "interested in" name, this appears to be a category populated entirely by userboxes expressing opposition to various (mis)uses of English words, which violates Wikipedia:User categories#advocacy, Wikipedia:User categories#by dislikes, and/or Wikipedia:User categories#irrelevant likes * Pppery * it has begun... 23:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Washington County high points

[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 - jc37 21:05, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The current name makes it sound like it is a category for high points in a county called "Washington County". I suggest renaming for clarity. Alternatively, we could delete, since this is the only county-level category of this type. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:14, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians interested in skiing

[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 - jc37 08:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These categories are populated by exactly the same userboxes that populated the categories deleted at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020 August 7#Category:Wikipedian nordic skiers. These userboxes do not express a Wikipedia-relevant interest in the subject, as defined by Wikipedia:Overcategorization/User categories#by interest. The only member in any of the categories that is not in there via a userbox is the creator, who does not appear to have made any edits to articles related to skiing (and I question the value of a user category containing one user anyway per WP:SMALLCAT) * Pppery * it has begun... 19:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Earliest known manuscripts by language

[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 to delete. I suggest a fresh nomination to rename, perhaps to first/ oldest / earliest known written accounts of languages. – Fayenatic London 20:40, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:CATDEFINING. Earliest known manuscript is likely to change with new discoveries. The entries in this category, eg. Halmidi inscription, will not change even if new discoveries remove them from this category. In other words, even if we learn nothing new about Halmidi inscription, other information about the world may add or remove it from this category. That seems to me to prove that this category is not defining for Halmidi inscription. List of languages by first written accounts is the appropriate place for this information. Daask (talk) 15:55, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Arguments by future discoveries seem to be a violation of Wikipedia is not a crystal ball: "Articles that present original research in the form of extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are inappropriate. Although scientific and cultural norms continually evolve, we must wait for this evolution to happen, rather than try to predict it." We can not assume that new discoveries will occur, or even that such discoveries are plausible to occur. We only know about the current status quo, and report as such.

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: rename.Fayenatic London 10:04, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename using "of country" per Wikipedia:Category_names#State-based_topics and turning "government" into lowercase. This was discussed at WP:CFDS before. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:13th-century people from the Kingdom of Aragon

[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 to rename, but I find sufficient support to allow creation of new parent categories for subjects of the Crown. – Fayenatic London 13:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content. The Crown of Aragon was a composite monarchy with constituent parts Kingdom of Aragon, Principality of Catalonia, Kingdom of Valencia, Kingdom of Majorca and later also Italian kingdoms. In parallel User:Rathfelder nominated the bishops subcategories for renaming from Kingdom to Crown at WP:CFDS, per WP:C2E. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:48, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Southern France only concerned a tiny bit (current Roussillon) which then belonged to Catalonia anyway. The Italian kingdoms were of later stage and should be kept as subcategories (per Peterkingiron). So the discussion is really about Catalonia, Valencia and Majorca. As said before, it we would keep those separate and split by century it would lead to huge fragmentation. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is very difficult categorising mediaeval people by the concurrent countries, but I think we should persist and if necessary operate on the principle of successive approximation. Rathfelder (talk) 15:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the Middle Ages everything revolved around the monarch. A personal union for an indefinite period of time, as between Aragon and Catalonia, meant in practice that it functioned as one country with local self-governance. The same happened when Aragon and Castile merged to Spain, it was officially just a personal union. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Victims of anti-Protestantism

[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, and remove Category:Victims of anti-Catholic violence from Category:Victims of anti-Christian violence – those two should have "see also" links instead. – Fayenatic London 09:52, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

People of Peranakan descent

[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:Peranakan people in Malaysia and Category:Peranakan people in Singapore. This does for with the parent Category:Ethnic groups in Malaysia. – Fayenatic London 15:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, Peranakans are an ethnic group in Malaysia and Indonesia as their home countries. A descent category would only make sense (hypothetically) in e.g. Category:American people of Peranakan descent but not in their home countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Carlossuarez46: I've told you about this about but your assertion on every discussion that "descent is invalid" or some variation thereof is bordering on disrupting Wikipedia to prove a WP:POINT. Not only that but your own question can be found by reading the article, you have nothing to add and it's not even a vote.--Prisencolin (talk) 20:06, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're the only person who uses fringe logic to justify deleting under established guidelines, i.e. you're the only editor who regularly participates who argues that all descent categories should be deleted regardless of whether they are well-attested or not. I'm inclined to say this is kind of a violation of WP:SOAPBOX principles but I'm not entirely sure. In any case this creates kind of a misleading record which could possibly be used in the future as evidence that there is community consensus to delete all descent categories, where it was just you.--Prisencolin (talk) 20:22, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is close to WP:PA. It is obvious that Carlossuarez46 is the only one who argues here and in other discussions that all descent categories should be deleted so the jump to "misleading' does not make any sense. He has some valid points and it is completely alright to express them. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • He should take it to some other project or talk page on this site and link to that discussion instead of using WP:ATAs, (to his credit he's only said "getting rid of the "descent" categories is good," in this category), but the language he uses in other discussions echo the sentiment. Addition, he usually just cut pastes the same userspace essay and WP:VAGUEWAVES into discussions, which I don't think is very helpful. One of the few times Carlos has actually tried to engage in dialogue was to read the description of the page Shanghainese people, which I will give him credit (I believe the way it was read was misleading, but that's not for here). -Prisencolin (talk) 21:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lean toward Prisencolin's "in" with Category:Peranakan people in Singapore and Category:Peranakan people in Malaysia, but not opposed to PKI's "of". - RevelationDirect (talk) 20:35, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT, WP:OCAWARD)
The German Kingdom of Saxony gave out the Military Order of St. Henry. The recipients fall into three categories:

The result of the discussion was: delete.Fayenatic London 10:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
Order of the Rokel is a general purpose Sierra Leonean award "in the areas of to the public service, arts and sciences, and philanthropy". The recipients are as diverse as those reasons: a British General, a Mauritian mining executive, and, from Sierra Leone, a footballer, a Catholic biship, and a chief justice so there's no common thread. The articles generally mention the award in passing with other honours. The category contents are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
