January 2

edit

Category:Sportspeople from Judea and Samaria District

edit
Nominator's rationale: To match the article Judea and Samaria Area. Not technically a district. Same with the child category Category:Footballers from Judea and Samaria District Prezbo (talk) 21:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs with music by John Frederick Coots

edit
Nominator's rationale: To my knowledge, the composer published all of his music under the name J. Fred Coots. His full name, John Frederick Coots, was not used. The vast majority of secondary sources on this person (encyclopedias, etc.) all title their entries J. Fred Coots. The composer also went by Fred and did not use his first name as the name of address. Many publications of the period (newspapers, magazine, etc.) will call him Fred Coots in publications. It is unlikely that anyone familiar with this person would search under the full name, or that someone unfamiliar would know to search by the full name either as most publications don't use the first name John at all and only the letter J. or they drop the J. altogether.

Comment If true, then the article John Frederick Coots will need to be renamed as well. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 02:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1799 establishments in New Zealand

edit
Nominator's rationale: Large tree structure for one establishment. Merge the lone populated category and delete the rest. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nurg, it's best to not empty categories out of process during CFD discussions. It defeats the purpose of having this discussion. Liz Read! Talk! 10:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pashtun diplomats

edit
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCEGRS, trivial intersection with ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:23, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As the original category creator, I would support this proposal. ForsythiaJo (talk) 17:07, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and ForsythiaJo SMasonGarrison 01:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:German Women's Hockey League teams

edit
Nominator's rationale: There are only 2 team articles for the league (1 of which is defunct). Merge per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:55, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1970s disestablishments in Portuguese Timor

edit
Nominator's rationale: Not needed, only contains Portuguese Timor, which is already in relevant categories so no merging is needed. Note: I already moved Sociedade Agrícola Pátria e Trabalho up to East Timor, since it was disestablished after the Indonesian invasion in 1975. – Fayenatic London 12:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Millennia in Timor-Leste

edit
Nominator's rationale: Delete unnecessary layer. We have previously found consensus to delete millennia categories where a country has no chronology categories before 20th century. – Fayenatic London 10:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ottoman sultans born to Greek mothers

edit
Nominator's rationale: delete, trivial intersection. Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fadrique family

edit
Nominator's rationale: delete, largely overlapping with Category:Counts of Salona. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rasputin family

edit
Nominator's rationale: There is no need whatsoever for this category, which only has articles for 2 people. There are no other notable family members. I have already added the article for Maria Rasputin to Category:Grigori Rasputin, which is entirely adequate. Anomalous 0 (talk) 07:44, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Newman family

edit
Nominator's rationale: This soap opera family is highly ambiguous given two matching categories of real families with the same name. Mike Selinker (talk) 03:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Neergaard (noble family)

edit
Nominator's rationale: Given the uncommon name, this doesn't need an additional disambiguator that no other noble family has. Mike Selinker (talk) 02:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nicholson arts family

edit
Nominator's rationale: Nearly all subcategories of category:Families by occupation put the occupation at the end, so this seems no different. Not clear whether (art) or (arts) would be better. Mike Selinker (talk) 02:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
