July 24

[edit]

Category:Films about Prime Ministers

[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: I find consensus to rename all but Category:Films about Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. There is no consensus on that one (WP:NPASR). -- Tavix (talk) 21:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Correct capitalisation (and consistency with parent category). DexDor (talk) 21:06, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Would you also capitalize the roles in, for example, "Films about Cabinet Ministers", "Films about Police Officers", "Films about Window Cleaners" ...? DexDor (talk) 16:07, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. -- Tavix (talk) 21:48, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: That a file was once a candidate for (Wikipedia) featured picture status doesn't appear to be an important characteristic of that file. I've been unable to find a process that uses this category (it's not mentioned at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, note: the category has no text and no talk page). Note: This contains a mix of file pages and file talk pages (most/all of which appear to have been tagged in 2007-2008). DexDor (talk) 20:48, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is some usefulness in being able to see that an image was nominated before in the event that you desire to re-nominate it. For images hosted at WP, okay, fine, you can see the fact that it was previously nominated in the page history, but for images hosted at Commons, that's usually a problem - Commons file pages either need to have a category or if they are completely blank they need to be deleted - failing to do so populates Special:UncategorizedFiles with things other than licensing problems or page-blanking vandalism to fix. Years ago when we created this category, it was done so for this reason - previously the failed FPC nominations of Commons images were just being blanked, so we had a bunch of blank image pages populating Special:UncategorizedFiles. If the page is going to exist, it needs to be categorized. --B (talk) 10:29, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Play School (Australian TV series) presenters

[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. -- Tavix (talk) 21:56, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We do not categorize people by the televisions shows or films that they have appeared in, per WP:PERFCAT. Upmerge to Category:Children's television presenters and Category:Australian television presenters (if applicable). Tassedethe (talk) 18:52, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:03, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer of categorization. ~ Rob13Talk 18:25, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support This category only contains a single subcategory and no articles. Too small to be useful. Dimadick (talk) 13:49, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Military operations of the Iraqi Civil War by type

[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. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:08, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Both of these categories have only one page in them, and it's WP:CRYSTAL to assume the war will develop in such a way that there will be more. Right now, the list articles such as Use of chemical weapons in the Iraqi Civil War seem more likely to be developed. ~ Rob13Talk 18:21, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:12, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only a single article here, WP:SMALLCAT. ~ Rob13Talk 18:16, 24 July 2016 (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. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT; there's unlikely to be much potential for growth in specifically La Comedie, but there's more potential for growth if upmerged to the author level. The resulting category would have 4 pages in it. ~ Rob13Talk 18:14, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Images of Gardens and Landscape design

[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. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:51, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category contains just 2 files - both of which would fit in the B&S category (and are candidates for moving to Commons). Note: the 3 parent article categories (e.g. Category:Gardens) each have a link to Commons which is where readers looking for images on a particular topic should be directed. If not deleted then rename to remove the capitals. DexDor (talk) 18:10, 24 July 2016 (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: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer of categorization. It's also not clear that "battles" should be categorized under "persecution", so upmerging isn't appropriate. It's also a heavy POV slant to categorize ISIL under a "by country" category. ~ Rob13Talk 18:09, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think that this category could be populated but it currently is as nom points out merely a layer. I think that nom raises two other good questions: (1) are battles "persecution", which I think is a debatable contention on which consensus might be achieved - certain slaughters of civilians by the military of another state could be viewed as both a battle and a persecution (just think of the "battle" of Little Big Horn, and others where the natives were on the losing end), of course reasonable minds could differ; and (2) is ISIL a "country" - normally self-declared unrecognized countries are treated differently here (we have lots of examples: Category:Presidents of Biafra, Category:Presidents of Abkhazia‎, Category:Presidents of Northern Cyprus are all under Category:Presidents by country; but ISIS and the Confederate States of America aren't.)

Category:Cetaceans of Thailand

[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. – Fayenatic London 21:32, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only category specifically categorizing cetaceans (whales etc) by a country they are found off the coast of (apart from Australia) and it contains articles such as False killer whale where the text makes no mention of Thailand and the map shows it's found near many countries. Note: there is a list. It's better to categorize cetaceans by which oceans/seas they are found in (like saltwater fish). Note: Should this CFD result in delete I intend to also remove cetaceans from other by-country categories (e.g. from Category:Fauna of Iran) and possibly to add category text making clear that cetaceans are excluded from such categories.

The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure) SSTflyer 08:32, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In line with most similar categories Rathfelder (talk) 16:01, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm quite happy with the reverse processs, but there are lot more articles of the form Prime Ministers of Foo. Rathfelder (talk) 09:35, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- The proposed capitalisation is in fact Correct. "Prime Minister" is an office. This means that it is a compound noun (not adjective + noun), so that each word requires capitals. In the same way Barack obama is not president of the United states; he is President. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:04, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Female foeticide and infanticide

[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, without opposition. -- Tavix (talk) 16:36, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: While I acknowledge this important issue must be visible, I fear the current categorization doesn't work well. Given that there is not a single main article covering these particular types of sex selection, it becomes clear that two out of at least four distinct types are lumped together, while unduly excluding sex selection using natural methods and assisted reproductive technology‎.
While in terms of sexism, all four practices are roughly comparable, otherwise ethically, legally and procedurally, the four types (natural methods, selective implantation, Sex-selective abortion ("foeticide") and infanticide) are widely considered distinct practices, without clear evidence of two of them being significantly closer to each related than the others.
I therefore propose renaming the parent category to Category:Female infanticide, which after dispersing non-related content would still contain at least four specific articles. The two child China- and India-related subcategories should however be renamed to equally cover all practices of Category:Sex selection. Further subcategorization may be introduced whenever there's sufficient specific content. --PanchoS (talk) 13:00, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We do have main article at Female foeticide in India. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:43, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
... and Female infanticide in India. --PanchoS (talk) 09:54, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge into both suggested categories. -- Tavix (talk) 16:09, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT; a single navbox in this category and it's unlikely to expand. ~ Rob13Talk 09:05, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It should also be in the category Category:Commonwealth Games sports navigational boxes (many of which have one or two entries) Hugo999 (talk) 05:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Pointless layer of categorization. The single subcategory is already appropriately categorized under Category:Nigerian lawyers. ~ Rob13Talk 08:50, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. -- Tavix (talk) 16:05, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT issues. This will likely eventually grow, but I don't see that happening soon. It's also dubious whether the single page in this category even belongs there, as the article doesn't lay out how it created any form of case law. ~ Rob13Talk 08:49, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is a long standing problem that in practice lawsuits, court cases and case law are used interchangeably and there has been reluctance to collapse those trees because, in theory, there are differences. I lean very slightly for keeping a court cases category for each country (under some name) but I'll defer to others with stronger opinions. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:37, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, currently we have a tree of about 30 countries, that is far from complete, so it doesn't harm if one more country will not be in the tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:58, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Case law is a well defined sub-section of law, and for any country with over 150 million inhabitants that uses a system that creates case law this categorization makes sense.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lagos State law

[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, with removal of Category:Lagos State House of Assembly. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:07, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category just seems unnecessary. Going subcategory by subcategory:
  1. Category:Lagos State courts is nominated below for WP:SMALLCAT issues.
  2. Category:Lagos State House of Assembly belongs more in the politics/government category trees than law itself.
  3. Category:Lagos State lawyers are already within the Category:Nigerian law tree via Category:Nigerian lawyers.
  4. Category:Law enforcement in Lagos State is similarly already in Category:Law enforcement in Nigeria and it may also have SMALLCAT issues given how many of layers of categorization exist for such few articles (6 total articles within 4 layers of categorization just to get to the 9-article Category:People murdered in Lagos).

Given the poor state of the overall tree and its apparent redundancy, I just don't see this as useful categorization. ~ Rob13Talk 08:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Nigeria has a federal structure and a federal legal system. The category structure should reflect that, and en.wp's growing coverage of Nigerian law means that this category does have a good prospect of being more heavily populated, so WP:SMALLCAT does not apply.
    I do agree that the House of Assembly probably doesn't belong here, but otherwise this category is fine. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:05, 24 July 2016 (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: delete. -- Tavix (talk) 22:13, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: What do Category:Sex worker activists have in common with Category:Organizations that combat human trafficking? This one is poorly defined, borderline WP:OCASSOC and doesn't seem to be particularly helpful. Child categories are sufficiently categorized anyway, so this may be simply deleted, unless someone comes up with a better proposal. PanchoS (talk) 06:54, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (assuming nom is correct that no upmerging is necessary). This is the only "researchers and activists" category in wp and causes incorrect categorization. Note: Somehow this has lasted since 2007. DexDor (talk) 16:43, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and possibly rename. First, I want to take the nominator to task for starting off with an unhelpful and fairly kneejerk statement "What do Sex worker activists have in common with Organizations that combat human trafficking‎?" The answer is that the two are very often on opposite side the same issue, notably, controversies around "sex trafficking" and the decriminalization of prostitution. The category was intended as a an inclusionary one for those on all sides of the prostitution and pornography debate, including those in political activism and academic research. Iamcuriousblue (talk) 18:56, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename into Category:Sex industry activists and purge. Nominator is correct that this is a case of WP:OCASSOC but we can also solve this problem by making the category less inclusive, by removing organizations and researchers. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:31, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. There's clear consensus to merge these categories, but not necessarily which way they should be merged. I'm going to default to the majority here, and enact both proposals since the discussion has been stale for more than a month. -- Tavix (talk) 15:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category containing a single article. PanchoS (talk) 06:28, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Medical activism is a subtype of health activism. --PanchoS (talk) 07:24, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
