Category:Prehistoric perciform genera

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 (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:58, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The order Perciformes, once large enough to justify its own category, has recently been significantly narrowed by recent taxonomic changes, with many groups previously included in it now placed in other orders within the wider Percomorpha. Because much of this reclassification is based on DNA, while this category deals with fossil genera, there are now only a few fossil fish genera that can be confidently assigned to the Perciformes as it is now defined. To keep the category as comprehensive as before while incorporating this change, it might be best to expand it to all percomorphs. Geekgecko (talk) 22:55, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Completely subjective inclusion. Redundant to the standardize decades tree. All content seems to already be properly placed in the decades tree. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:38, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow up of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 January 14#Category:Events by month. Manually merge to the decade categories to check if the subcategories are already in those trees. Having a separate "events" category is not necessary for decades categories. –Aidan721 (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ambassadors of Liberia to Tanzania

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. – Fayenatic London 15:50, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Too-small "Ambassadors of X to Y" category. As always, categories of this type are not automatically created for just one person -- there are around 200 countries in the world, so if every possible X-to-Y and Y-to-X combination were created there would be 40,000 categories involved (i.e. the tree would be unbrowsably massive). But navigation is not aided by funneling everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of one, so there would have to be at least five Liberian ambassadors to Tanzania with articles before a dedicated subcategory for them was warranted, while for just one person the parent categories are all that's required.

Category:American people of Brijwasi descent

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. – Fayenatic London 15:47, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Too-small categories, newly created for just one or two people without clear evidence that either of them are needed. As always, we do not automatically create "X people of Y descent" categories for every possible combination of X and Y that can describe just one or two people with Wikipedia articles -- there would need to be at least five articles in each of these before either of them was warranted.
And none of the three articles involved here actually state or source that their subjects are specifically "Brijwasi" or "Awadhi", either, but all just state that their subjects moved to the US from India without delving into their family backgrounds in more depth at all, so people clearly can't be defined by an ethnic background that nobody's ever been arsed to actually add any content about.
Meanwhile, Awadhi people does lead to an article that describes its subject as an Indian ethnic group, but Brijwasi people does not, so I can't even determine whether that one's even a real ethnic classification in the first place.
So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find enough other people who can be added to them to justify them on size grounds, but they're not needed for just one or two articles. Bearcat (talk) 16:18, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:49, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We've recently renamed any US state subcategories of Category:American families by state or territory that need disambiguation by state to put the state in parentheses at the end. These are the only Australian categories that fall outside this rubric (there are plenty with "Australia" in parentheses). Seems like following that US precedent would be good.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete Category:19th-century crimes in Paraguay, Category:20th-century crimes in Paraguay, Category:21st-century crimes in Paraguay & Category:Crimes in Paraguay by century, so add those as merge targets and merge/delete the rest. – Fayenatic London 21:29, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW/WP:OCYEAR. Manually merge to the third target. –Aidan721 (talk) 00:44, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge In all this discussion there are no actual objections to merging. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:10, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No need to distinguish that they're "Foreign civilians", furthermore, many of these people were journalists, which already exists as a catregory Category:Journalists killed while covering the Syrian civil war. SMasonGarrison 04:23, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Smasongarrison: What about Category:Foreigners killed in the Syrian civil war in general? AHI-3000 (talk) 08:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have mixed feelings about it. If both nominations go through it would be empty. SMasonGarrison 14:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Smasongarrison: Shouldn't it be nominated together with all the other "Foreign people in the Syrian civil war" categories? And for that matter, why is the discussion for the "foreign soldiers in Syria" categories in a separate section below? AHI-3000 (talk) 19:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I used the CFD tool to nominate them, so that defaults to doing them separately. SMasonGarrison 20:04, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:People wounded in the 20 July plot to Category:Survivors of the 20 July plot
