December 21

[edit]

Category:Military aircraft of World War I

[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 (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 08:05, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Header note on the category reads "Most articles about aircraft types that were used in World War I are in one of the 1910–1919 (first flight) categories listed below." - thereby acknoloedging that this is incomplete and is apparently intended to be so. Furthermore, this is one of the "performers by performance" type categories that are discouraged - we generally try not to categorise in this manner, because it can lead to very lengthy category sections for what are, sometimes questionably, defining characteristics (to give an example, is the Grumman F-9 Cougar, for instance, defined by the fact TF-9Js operated briefly in Vietnam?).
If kept, this should be thoroughly expanded to include all of the relevant types within it. The Bushranger One ping only 23:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom.  dummelaksen  (talk • contribs) 03:03, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. I don't see how these are different from Category:Olympic competitors by country and Category:Olympic competitors by year cause ESC and JESC are that important and for most artists their participation in the contest(s) is the peak of their career. (And it is their "defining characteristic" cause it is the only thing we remember them for.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:36, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Additional comment. The page that you are basing this proposal on (WP:PERFCAT) actually says at the very top: "One of the central goals of the categorization system is to categorize articles by their defining characteristics. Defining characteristics of an article's topic are central to categorizing the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to."
    And I think it's obvious that most of these artists are remembered by their participation in a Eurovision song contest and that "reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to" these artists as Eurovision entrants for their countries.
    I think this deletion proposal is a good example of following rules blindly. We have some random rule written by a random person, and you are voting "delete" without even thinking a little bit. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:48, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with this. I'm also new around here in terms of voting for things, how do I do that? 3SiameseCats (talk) 16:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @3SiameseCats: Read WP:Articles for deletion#How to contribute. First write '''Keep''' or '''Delete''' (in bold) and then explain why you are voting like this.
    P.S. I used to think that a comment / "written opinion" is more important than an actual "vote" cause WP:Wikipedia is not a democracy and that simple "votes" without an explanation don't even count, but the people above are just voting and don't contribute to the actual discussion... So maybe '''Keep''' or '''Delete''' "per smth. or somebody's comment" is enough. Or maybe it is even enough to just copy-paste someone else's comment as done by the people who voted "Delete per nom". :-) But I think it is still preferable to explain your vote. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:26, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Terrorist incidents in Germany in 2022

[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. No prejudice against an immediate wider nomination (User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD can help with that). Unknown Temptation and/or Marcocapelle, pinging in case either of you wish to pursue this. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:07, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization. There is only one article in the category and it can be merged into the wider parent categories. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:32, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Portal-Class Comics articles of NA-importance

[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 both. Pppery, to implement deletion, you just delete the category and the module uses some ifexist magic to automatically unpopulate the categories :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All these pages are already in the categories "Portal-Class Comics articles" and "NA-importance Comics articles", ideally they should only be in "Portal-Class Comics articles", which should be a member of "NA-importance Comics articles", and this redundant category can simply be deleted. Fram (talk) 09:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably some technical solution for this needs to be found, but when it is implemented, it can also be applied to other types of pages which are always NA, i.e. every page in all subcategories of Category:NA-importance Comics articles except the actual articles cats (stub, start, C, GA, ...) should be removed from "... articles of NA-importance" and "NA-importance comics articles". As an example, Talk:10th Muse is now in three cats, it should only remain in "Redirect-Class Comics articles", and that cat should get "NA-importance comics articles". Simplify by removing redundancy. But I guess this belong at the Village pump, as this seems to happen with some other projects as well, and is presumably too much for the scope of CfD? Fram (talk) 09:11, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: now at WP:VPPR#Cleaning up NA-class categories. Fram (talk) 15:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I will tag Category:Template-Class Guyana articles of NA-importance.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This intersection is really not helpful in almost all cases. Gonnym (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone have any idea how to implement a delete closure here? The consensus seems clear, but I don't. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:35, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
