Propose deleting Category:Sage equipment (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not clear what the categorization criterion is here. —swpb^T 20:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – a mysterious category, nothing sage about it. (Siege?) Oculi (talk) 11:07, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the only article is already in Category:Incendiary weapons. Twiceuponatime (talk) 11:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or rather merge) -- I suspect that the creator intended Category:Siege equipment, which exists and needs better populating. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was under the impression that we have deleted similar categories before. Dimadick (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per precedent of liberals, conservatives, etc. We can only allow such terms where they signify membership of a political party. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We categorize politicians and political activists by the specific political party that they're a member of; we do not categorize actresses or writers or sportspeople (or even politicians) by general ideologies like "liberal" or "conservative" or "progressive" or "reactionary".

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 12:53, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging

Category:Ukrainian coaches by sport to Category:Ukrainian sports coaches
Category:Russian coaches by sport to Category:Russian sports coaches

Nominator's rationale: Pointless subcategory, because all the subcats of Category:Ukrainian sports coaches are of coaches by sport. Doesn't seem to have any parallels elsewhere in the category tree -- even Category:American sports coaches has no such subcat, and it is the most heavily-populated of Category:Sports coaches by nationality.

PS I subsequently found the Russian category, added it to this nomination. A search shows that these are the only 2 such categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:36, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; merge. —swpb^T 13:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
