The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 21:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Dayak people probably suffices as I can't identify any other article which should be added to this category. Considering WP:SMALLCAT, I don't believe that when an "[ethnic group]" category exists, there should automatically be an "[ethnic group] culture" subcat as apart of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. If keeping, rename to Dayak culture. —Alalch E. 16:44, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: downmerge/rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:30, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, more accurately describing these as monarchs of the country rather than suggesting it is by nationality in any country. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle Category:19th-century monarchs of Bulgaria and Category:20th-century monarchs of Bulgaria, surely? "Bulgary" is not a thing (perhaps confused with Hungary?).  Fixed Otherwise I agree. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:14, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OCASSOC, this contains articles loosely related to one of the warlords during the end of the Han dynasty. Note that many articles are more specifically in a warlords, generals, government officials or family subcategory and those subcategories can of course stay.

  • Re-parent ? (let's discuss this in the comments)
Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C grandchild Category:Pharaohs in the Bible (and its main article Pharaohs in the Bible), item Cyrus the Great in the Bible, siblings Category:Women in the Hebrew Bible and Category:Giants in the Hebrew Bible. In the recent CfM "Biblical rulers by century", some people already suggested "in" was better than "of". Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:26, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Possible re-parenting Category:Monarchs of the Hebrew Bible currently has the following parents: Category:Hebrew Bible people (seems perfectly fine), Category:Monarchs in Africa (questionable, will probably only apply to grandchild Category:Pharaohs in the Bible, and even then it is questionable); Category:Middle Eastern monarchs (questionable and potentially anachronistic), and Category:Jewish monarchs (does not apply to non-Israelite monarchs). Some monarchs mentioned in the Hebrew Bible definitely existed as historical people, but other monarchs have been found by scholars to be literary characters: probably fictional, serving a narrative function in a moralistic story, but not based on historical people. Therefore, I hesitate to apply "in Africa" and "[in the] Middle East" as parents, because some of these monarchs seem to only exist in the pages of the Hebrew Bible, but not in history, nor in geography. Category:Hebrew Bible people is a great-grandchild of Category:People by religious text, alongside Category:Book of Mormon people, Category:People of the Quran, Category:Characters in the Mahabharata, Category:Characters in the Ramayana etc. The existence of a lot of, say, Book of Mormon rulers such as Laman and Lemuel, is also disputed, and we should not put them in categories/trees such as Category:Monarchs in North America. But they and monarchs in the Hebrew Bible could theoretically be put in a child category of Category:People by religious text named Category:Monarchs by religious text. Would that be a good idea?

  • Propose Deleting Category:Georges Matheron Lectureship recipients
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT, WP:OCAWARD & WP:NONDEFINING
The International Association for Mathematical Geosciences hosts several lecture series including the Distinguished Lecture, the Bullerwell Lecture, and this one, the Georges Matheron Lecture. It's considered an honour to be invited but this performance isn't treated as defining in the biography articles, generally getting mentioned in a list with other honours. The category contents are already listed right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 2 July 2023 (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: rename as per nom. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:CATNAME, WP:C2C and maybe WP:IDONTLIKEIT
This category contains 4 articles legislation forbidding the removal of Confederate statues and there is growth potential. After looking at dozens of articles about "statues" in this category tree, I kept misreading "statutes" in the category's name and I suspect that can happen to other readers. Most but not all of the subcategories of Category:Statutory law by topic already use "legislation" and the proposed naming format. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
