Category:American rums

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 all and purge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:24, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Manually Purging Non-US subcategories
  • Tagged Category:Australian rums
  • Tagged Category:Jamaican rum
  • Tagged Category:Puerto Rican rums
  • Tagged Category:Venezuelan rum
Nominator's rationale: WP:CATNAME
Based on the parent categories, this is intended for rums from the U.S.A. but the name is ambiguous enought that it's also being used for the whole Western Hemisphere. The naming formats under Category:Rum by country are about evenly split so this didn't qualify for a speedy rename. (No objection if someone wants to also create a better named rum subcat of Category:Americas, but I'm not proposing such a split.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
comment the other *an rums subcategories in Category:Rum by country should also be renamed at this time to achieve complete consistency. Hmains (talk) 18:17, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those categories are now tagged so they can be considered as part of this nomination. RevelationDirect (talk) 19:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rename all per nom. It seems that there is an ambiguity, and the other subcategories with the "Rum produced in X" convention are in the majority. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:54, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buynaksk

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:20, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category only has the eponymous city and a page History of the Jews in Buynaksk. There's no need to have a category with only two pages that are already interlinked like this. Mason (talk) 17:50, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This category exists in four other languages. I think over time this category in the English version will grow. There will be more than two pages.

Category:Caucasian Studies of the Russian Empire

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure what to make of this category. It seems to be Ethnographers from the Russian Empire who study "Caucasian Studies". I don't know if this is really a defining category, but if it is then it should be renamed to Caucasologists from the Russian Empire. Mason (talk) 17:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rename. I agree with you. It is a great idea. Go ahead!

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This should make it a little clearer that these are ethnographers of a specific subject/region rather than nationality Mason (talk) 17:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Real tennis competition navigational boxes

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:00, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Very small category, so it makes sense to use a more general category with more room for growth. The alternative is to create Category:Real tennis navigational boxes and place Category:Real tennis competition navigational boxes in it. I don't think that option is very helpful. Pichpich (talk) 17:14, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the 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). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't think this is defining. These folks are regularly described as billionaires, not Centibillionaires. I'd love to be wrong, but this feels more like an interesting fact, rather than a defining feature. Mason (talk) 16:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
