Propose deleting Category:Gion zukuri (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Seems to be a Japanese architectural style yet lacks an article page or any details. Not a useful category to keep around right now. There is only 1 article in the category and is also the eponymous article of the parent category (loop...). –Aidan721 (talk) 22:55, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Afterwards, Category:Yasaka Shrine will be eleigible for speedy deletion per C2F. (The eponymous article is already in all of the parent categories.) –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 00:42, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All contain 1-2 articles. Largely spaced out categories before the year 1000. Not useful for navigation. WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:2020s Argentine film stubs to Category:Argentine film stubs

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category without evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub sorting. As always, stub categories require 60 articles before they can be created, and for that reason should normally be approved by the Wikiproject rather than just being created willy-nilly -- but this has just 28, and there's no indication that it was ever submitted for approval before being created. And while I've added some of those 28 articles myself in the past few minutes by perusing Category:2020s Argentine films, the ratio of articles I've checked to articles I could actually add this to (because it was genuinely a stub and didn't already have this template and category on it) doesn't suggest that I'd be able to get this over 60.
The template is fine, as it can always just upfile its entries into the target category in the meantime, and obviously the category can be recreated if and when the template is on at least 60 articles, but 28 articles isn't enough to justify a dedicated stub category.

Propose merging Category:Mercy College (New York) to Category:Mercy University

Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Also merge to Lawyers from New Jersey. Lost in Quebec (talk) 16:17, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sole article is already in Category:People from Haddonfield, New Jersey, a subcategory.--User:Namiba 18:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose splitting Category:Salvadoran people of Sephardic-Jewish descent to Category:People of Sephardic-Jewish descent and Category:Salvadoran people of Jewish descent

Nominator's rationale: Dual merge; only one article. Omnis Scientia (talk) 04:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dual merge or delete, the latter because the only article says about the subject that her husband claimed that she has Sephardic-Jewish ancestors, I wonder if that is sufficient to keep the article in Jewish categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Omnis Scientia: Thoughts on deletion? House Blaster (talk • he/they) 02:26, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Historians of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to Category:Historians of al-Qaeda

Nominator's rationale: Both of these categories have two people in them. I'm not even sure if I'd call them historians. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:10, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, one article is about someone who taught English, the other is about a social anthropologist, neither are historians. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Chinese cults to Category:Organizations designated as cults by China

Nominator's rationale: This category is about one specific thing (organizations officially designated as Heterodox teachings (Chinese law) per Chinese law, however it also contains things like Mango cult which is a different usage of the term. Unlike the other cult categories this is fine to keep because unlike other countries the Chinese government still maintains their cult list - see how we do Category:Terrorist organizations as Category:Organizations designated as terrorist for example, same reason. This is far clearer. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:44, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategorize with the new category. "Chinese cults" can be built up, since several Qing Dynasty cults caused major rebellions, and in the Ming, etc. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:11, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, because cults from past centuries have nothing to do with the modern conception. That would be categorizing every single chinese religion, which we have other categories for. "cult" as a word has many completely contradictory definitions which many people may want to categorize by for different reasons, and lumping them all into one thing like we used to do is not encyclopedic. The CCP categorizes them based on deviance and antisocial behavior - what does that have in common with worship from centuries past? PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:21, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom, as a more accurate description. We should nor build up "Chinese cults" after we recently built down Category:Cults. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
