Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category. If the decision is to keep the "educators" name, then we should merge and then rename, given that the other category is a decade older Mason (talk) 14:42, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per the parent category, Category:Musicians by band, "categories should not be created when only one member has an article." In this case, no member from the band has an article (albeit there was one but it was recently redirected). StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:26, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Western Samoa

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/merge/delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:53, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Even though the name Western Samoa was used until 1997, all other categories after 1961 use "Samoa", see 20th-century establishments in Samoa and 20th century in Samoa. – Fayenatic London 13:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That makes me wonder if the other categories have it wrong. Would love to hear from someone more familiar in the topic area whether "Samoa" was in common usage during this period for the country, excluding American Samoa. (I'm sure it was in use to describe the archipelago). - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not an expert by any means, but a look on the National Library of New Zealand's Papers Past website (NZ and Samoa are quite connected, even after independence in 1962) seems to suggest that "Samoa" was used to refer to Western Samoa reasonably often. ― novov (t c) 03:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Transgender prostitutes

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. This needs a broader discussion. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Possibly due as a broader topic, as well as being the preferred terminology in newer sources. GnocchiFan (talk) 20:43, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not all sex workers are prostitutes. Apokrif (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but all prostitutes are sex workers, which is why I am proposing the merge that way around. I mention that this is the preferred terminology as in many newer sources, trans prostitutes are routinely described as sex workers instead of prostitutes, which may lead to issues in categorisation and WP:OR. But that's just an additional consideration - the main thing here is that is this a big enough topic to split into two separate but interrelated categories at this point? (Personally, I am on the fence on this, but proposing the merge to seek further editor input). - GnocchiFan (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch Caribbean

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: withdrawn. (non-admin closure) Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I speedied this to "Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean" per previous Cfd but it reversed for some reason. While I initially preferred the rename to Category:Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean to match all in its parent categories I realize now that most of these places are still under Dutch control so I'm not sure if this would count as a "diaspora".

Category:Captive people

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 (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Captive" is so vague as to clearly violate WP:NONDEF. In the real life version it could be seen as an invitation for biased category additions based on one's subjective interpretation of what a "captive" is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:40, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, this is not as vague or "non-defining" as you claim. Both of these categories are simple in definition, and it is more of a defacto container category. What all of these subcategories within have in common are just people who were legally or illegally captured by other people. There is nothing confusing about the scale or scope of them. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I should note that there is a specific template to indicate something's a container category, which this wasn't marked with. However, even so, I don't think it is large enough to require such a category and would qualify as a narrow intersection. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dimadick: What do you think about this nomination? AHI-3000 (talk) 20:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with AHI-3000. Dimadick (talk) 04:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fictional academics. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, we categorize by occupation (academic), not by title (professor). For real life, Category:Professors does not exist either. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia CD Selection

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. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete this and all its subcats for the same reason as Template:WP1.0. This serves no purpose. Category:Wikipedia CD Selection-GAs‎ is completely identical to Category:GA-Class_articles except that it does not contain subcats. There's no argument for historical value. It's anachronistic because this contains all current GAs and none of the former GAs. Category:Wikipedia CD Selection - People only contains one entry-not useful! Schierbecker (talk) 23:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can't find the link at the moment, but the total list of pages that was selected was put on a page when relevant categories were last discussed, so deleting the categories shouldn't lose too much. Perhaps Category:Wikipedia CD Selection could be moved to Wikipedia:Wikipedia CD Selection/Categories, the others have nothing to preserve. CMD (talk) 08:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete sub-categorybut keep the main category as I've added the project's sub-pages to it. Remove all non-porject sub-pages from it. Gonnym (talk) 11:21, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: dual merge to Category:Dominica people by occupation and Category:Healthcare in Dominica. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only contains 1 small subcat. If not merged, rename to Category:Dominica health professionals to avoid ambiguity with Dominican Republic people. – Fayenatic London 17:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Dominican Republic percussionists. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category is explained as being by instrument, but parented as "by nationality". Currently only contains 1 player, and I checked what-links-here on Tambora (Dominican drum) without finding other pages where this skill appears WP:DEFINING. Broadening its scope to be clearly a nationality category will probably be more useful. – Fayenatic London 15:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:17, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to both parents. Currently only one member, about the trails overall. There have only been four trails, so even if all of them got their own articles, which currently seems unlikely (they are all given a short paragraph or so in the main article), there would only be a total of five articles.

Nominator's rationale: duplicate categories with no clear difference. Rename the first category per its own parents, and as it contains both universities and colleges. The difference between a university and a college is anyway not consistent from one educational system to another. Place Clichy (talk) 01:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based in Boston, but also in Toronto, Ontario, Canada etc..) That might be better as just "Cat:University or College campuses (by location)" The include by country, state, town, city et al.
    "Cat:Multinational universities and colleges are schools" which may be owned by multiple governments and thus no any single government may own it anymore than any other. Is far different (Like University of the West Indies.). One is type of governance. One is type of ownership structure. Not an improvement.

    • I don't think so, an international university is defined as funded by the governments of many countries and thereby is controlled by the officials from the government of different countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think that this difference reflects the way the categories are currently populated, which I assume is the product of honest mistakes. Practically, I don't think either that this difference can be usefully maintained in the long run in the form of two separate categories. Note that universities or colleges established under the governance of several countries will also, most often, have a physical presence in these several countries. You cite the University of the West Indies, but it wasn't in any of these categories until I placed it there yesterday. Place Clichy (talk) 14:14, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Many of the articles are crematoria and cemeteries so not much merging is needed. All contain 1-2 entries. Note, I removed the lone Nepal category as it didn't fit and is now empty. –Aidan721 (talk) 00:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
