Category:Advocacy groups by continent

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:08, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article, which is not an "Advocacy groups by continent". Not really enough articles about advocacy groups to make grouping them by continent worthwhile. Rathfelder (talk) 19:40, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is only one company established in 1670 with a WP article. Plus there are no other retail companies established categories prior to 1800. Categorizing just as companies is enough. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:47, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support We could do with some guidance about taking historical categories back in time. Perhaps a rule of thumb could be that we need at least 2 articles in several categories before we go back a further level?Rathfelder (talk) 08:31, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anarchists by occupation

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:12, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Anarchism is not an occupation/job, so this category misleadingly collects illogical subcategories. For instance, "Anarchist historian" is not a defining breakdown of historian, though it is reasonable to have Category:Historians of anarchism. Likewise, Category:Anarcho-punk musicians is reasonable, as anarcho-punk is a genre with its own article, but Category:Anarchist musicians does not describe any established type of musician. Non-anarcho-punk musicians should instead be grouped by the existing "American musicians" and "American anarchists" cats. Similarly, the other occupation subcats I checked did not diffuse profession by political ideology.
Open to ideas on how best to handle, but to my eyes, the only subcategory worth preserving is "Anarcho-punk musicians" (which can sit under "Anarchists") as the only occupation with an established connection to the identity. czar 12:57, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of that category, right now, are authors by profession who, unrelatedly, identify as anarchist. As a cross-section, they're better served by the existing category structure (as above). Now if there was a subset of propagandists that did something specific with their writing, that might be worth calling out, but do you see such a subset? czar 10:00, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We surely need to purge the writers category but plain deletion is too drastic. For example Mikhail Bakunin, Luigi Bertoni and Stuart Christie may stay. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:20, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep per DENY. NPASR if an editor in good standing agrees with nomination rationale. Primefac (talk) 16:18, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Nationality should replace country as for similar categories and the name of the sport is women's cricket, not women cricket. Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 11:18, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:South Africa women's national cricket team captains

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 per DENY. NPASR if an editor in good standing agrees with nomination rationale. Primefac (talk) 16:18, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Nationality should be used, not country, as is the case for similar categories. Equally, as these categories hold articles about domestic team captains, it is incorrect to use national team in the title. Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 11:15, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women cricket captains

The result of the discussion was: keep per DENY. No prejudice against renomination if someone else finds that this is a valid nomination Primefac (talk) 16:16, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The sport is known as women's cricket and omission of the apostrophe is grammatically incorrect. The context of any article is captain of a women's cricket team. It is wrong to suggest that the category is about women who are cricket captains because that might lead into mixed cricket and so be irrelevant here. Women's cricket is an independent sport. Bundle is now complete. Thanks. Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 12:14, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:14, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no scheme for cover art for singles and has been a long-established precedent that all cover art files for a music artist, whether for albums or singles, go into an album covers category. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 09:52, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No point to keep them separetly same as categories for articles and it's misleading because singles are not albums. Eurohunter (talk) 11:51, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, this calendar is exclusively tied to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, categorizing these festivals by calendar and by church is mere duplication. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, the calendar is fully tied to the Jewish ethnicity, categorizing these observances by calendar and ethnicity is mere duplication. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
