Category:Formerly wanted fugitives

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:59, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a good idea to base a category on a temporary state of affairs. Quite a lot of the people in the other subcategories of fugitives are no longer wanted. Rathfelder (talk) 19:08, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that I added "/delete" because the top Category:Formerly wanted fugitives should plainly be deleted, the articles are already in one or two other subcategories of the proposed merge target. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:08, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-notable intersections. Many of these were previously deleted following a 2009 discussion. User:Namiba 16:29, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Murdered religious leaders

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) 04:45, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. No notable WP:DEFINING link between the occupation and the manner of death. Not expected as a professional qualification. There may have been many years between the occupation and the death, making the link even weaker.
... who were killed for reasons other than religious motivation. Others listed under "Assassinated" and "Martyrs".
Note: Sources about the death of a person will often discuss both their occupation and their cause of death. This doesn't make this intersection any more notable than a combination with other aspects often discussed in such notices, such as their number of children.

  • That cannot possibly be true, as this section of the category tree is reserved to other than religious motivation, as already noted in the nomination. Please read more carefully. Removing this will assist editors who don't read the category tree, and add them blindly.

But, in addition: the subCategory:Murdered American scientists should be merged to Category:American murder victims. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:36, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:53, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, violation of WP:BLPCAT: the case for each content category must be made clear by the article text and its reliable sources. In fact almost none of the articles in this category makes this clear. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:15, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging
more categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one or two articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:55, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Mayors of Meppel to Category:Mayors in Drenthe and Category:Politicians from Meppel

Sanskrit scholars by nationality

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one, two or three articles in every of these categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:42, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Paul 012: This nomination isn't opposing doing away with this nationality tree altogether since the well populated Indian, British, American and French subcategories are not nominated. The question here is really should we be creating nationality subcats in every instance. Usually we use the WP:SMALLCAT exception when the tree is generally well populated with just a few runts. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:48, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to recreating the Thai category later if it ever gets up to 5+ articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggest merging all European scholars into one category. The Sri Lankans are likely to be Tamil and Hindu, so that they are different — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterkingiron (talk • contribs)
  • Upmerge these are all below the normal size threshold. Also because these scholars will often study and publish on issues besides just sanskrit, the more broad parent categories plus the specific sanskrit scholars category tend to be a reasonable arrangement of the articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: upmerge, unnecessary intermediate category level "by" something because the parent category is (nearly) empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:26, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not clear what makes any of these "shopping courts". Shopping court is currently prodded for lack of sourcing, and the concept seems no different than "outdoor mall". Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:32, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting/"Listifying" Category:Meridiano de Oro Awards
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF (WP:OCAWARD and likely WP:SMALLCAT)
The Meridiano de Oro is a Venezuelan award given by the Dearmas Block that recognizes "excellence of professionals in the World of Spectacle" and the only article in this category, Daniela Alvarado, doesn't even mention the award. Doesn't get much clearer than that. I don't know if I can say the category is "listified" since there is only 1 article but it is now linked here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:31, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Stoner/stonette of the year awards
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
High Times magazine gives out these awards. For a minority of the biographies in this category, they're association with marijuana is defining like with Seth Rogan, Snoop Dogg and Bill Maher but they are already well categorized under Category:Canadian cannabis activists, Category:Businesspeople in the cannabis industry and Category:Drug policy reform activists, respectively. In contrast, this award is either mentioned in passing or not at all in the articles so it doesn't seem defining. The winners are already listified in the Stony Awards article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
