Category:Sports officials by century

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). For merging back the 19th-century child category or grandchild category, these categories needs to be nominated separately. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:34, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Sports officials by century (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: An unneeded and underused category. There is only one category within this one and that has only one category within it. This is Category:19th-century baseball umpires‎ and it is already covered at Category:Baseball umpires. All these are sub-categories of Sports officials so everything is covered anyway. AIRcorn (talk) 22:41, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge back to Sports officials. Sports umpiring has not gone on for long enough to need split by centuries. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:08, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Internet talkers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Two entries: main article and a software that seems to fail WP:N and that I just prodded. Even IF the prodded article survives, the category does not seem to warrant its existence with just two entries and doubtful scope for expansion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:27, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge To Category:Online chat. Without presuming the outcome of the AfD, the current contents don't seem distinct or large enough, at least at this time. RevelationDirect (talk) 22:50, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Cerebellum (talk) 14:41, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Renaming Category:Christmas tree farming to Category:Christmas tree production

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:C2D, facilitating concordance between a particular category's name and a related page's name

Normally I would propose syncing up the category name with the main article name through the speedy process, but there are two rival main articles here neither of which matches the category name: Christmas tree production and Christmas tree cultivation. the latter is an occupation article but most the category deals with production more broadly. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:09, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Christmastide Slavs to Category:Slavic Christmas traditions

Nominator's rationale: rename for more clarity about the scope of the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:20, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is English Wikipedia and should be clear. RevelationDirect (talk) 15:31, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support, awkward original title.--Zoupan 04:58, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Serbian–Ottoman battles in Vardar Macedonia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization, three articles. No other such military categories based on *belligerents+region. Zoupan 02:29, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to all parents, but I suspect the articles are in them already. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that this is narrow categorization so upmerge to Category:Battles of the Ottoman–Serbian Wars and Category:Vardar Macedonia (1912–18). No need to upmerge to the 1st Balkan War battles because the articles are in that category already. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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. There are a few other ideas here, which Zoupan, Tonimicho and Marcocapelle may wish to pursue. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Serbian period in the history of the Republic of Macedonia to Category:Vardar Macedonia (1912–18)

Nominator's rationale: Identical scope.Zoupan 02:06, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Serbian period in Macedonia ends 1941...Tonimicho
The confusing thing is, Macedonia was part of Serbia from 1912 to 1941 while Serbia was part of Yugoslavia since 1918. In other words, we can also distinct a Serbian (up to 1918) versus a Yugoslav (since 1918) period for Macedonia. It's a matter of terminology, and the article isn't really clear about terminology. For maximum precision we'd better rename Category:Serbian period in the history of the Republic of Macedonia to Category:Vardar Macedonia (1918–41). A merge isn't a very good idea after all because it makes parenting (to Kingdom of Serbia and to Yugoslavia) more complicated. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:59, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You already have Category:Yugoslav Macedonia for Yugoslav period.--Zoupan 22:37, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That goes on until 1992. So the nominated category is a correct child category of Category:Yugoslav Macedonia. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, create Category:Vardar Macedonia (1918–41), since the Socialist era is housed at Category:Socialist Republic of Macedonia. This 'Serbian period' category should be removed though.--Zoupan 05:35, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:History of Vojvodina (1526–30) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: overcategorization, three articles.--Zoupan 02:00, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- "History of" is redundant: if kept rename Category:Vojvodina (1526–30) - Vojvodina was in this period, briefly a sovereign state. As such a category might be appropriate, but we are never likely to be aqble to populate it better. I might have said merge, but I cannot think iof an appropriate target, unless we merge both to the predecessor Hungary) and a successor. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:21, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the one topic article is in Category:History of Vojvodina already and the two biographies are about Serbs. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:10, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Wikipedians who have temporarily been blocked for spamming (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Empty category, although this is the type that WP:CSD#C1 does not apply to. Seems to be depreciated. Don't see any reason this needs to be kept around. "This category tracks users temporarily blocked at some point for spamming, advertising or promotional user names before 12 March 2009. Starting 12 March 2009, our standard block notices were updated to subsequently add blocked spam and advertising-related users' talk pages to one of several more specific categories. Over time, it is expected that the older talk pages listed here will be switched over to the newer categories." Possibly speedyable as G6, but I wasn't certain if there were some reason this were being kept around so I wanted to make sure. VegaDark (talk) 00:20, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. Speedy, even. It's no longer needed and shouldn't be filled up again. ^Avic _ennasis @ 05:03, 19 Tevet 5777 / 05:03, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
