March 19

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:American girl groups by genre

[edit]
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: administrative close, category page was not tagged. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is too much specific than it should be in my point of view, as well as there are "girl groups" from various countries in addition to just United States. As well, "boy bands" with different musical genres also exist. 186.206.87.25 (talk) 00:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Salmagundi Club Members

[edit]
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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:27, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: That a person (e.g. Winston Churchill or Norman Rockwell) was a member of the Salmagundi Club is a WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic. DexDor (talk) 23:34, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not delete This is a category to which both Norman Rockwell and Winston Churchill belong. The Salmagundi Club in NYC was a non-profit men's club honoring outstanding men of arts and letters. Both Norman Rockwell and Winston Churchill were members of the club and both were famous as accomplished artists (painters). In addition to his political, artistic, and oratorical skills, Winston Churchill was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in literature.
The only change that needs to be made to the category is to change the "M" in "Members" to lower case if that is the required form.
The WP:NON-DEFINING says, in part, "A central concept used in categorising [sic] articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define[1] the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people). Mitzi.humphrey (talk) 01:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- Membership of a club is generally a NN characteristic. The fact that the club has had some notable (even extremely notable) members is no reason to have a category for it. NOtability is not inherited and thus the club cannot inherit notability from its members; or at least one member cannot inherit it from another. A London equivalent might be Category:Carlton Club members, to which many Conservative politicians belong. And here, Churchill was only an honorary member - which should not count.

Category:Spanish Orthodox rabbis

[edit]
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 (without prejudice to re-creation if it houses modern Spanish people who are Orthodox rabbis). Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The word Orthodox as used in Judaism is unknown prior to the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. See Orthodox Judaism#history. The only members of this category, which I have removed, were rabbis from the eleventh century, and I don't think it's helpful to use this label with them. deisenbe (talk) 21:01, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you're asking me to do by "tag the category page correctly".

The rabbis deleted are:

They are now in the category Sephardi rabbis which is a subcategory of Spanish rabbis.

I agree that if there are any Orthodox rabbis in Spain now, and if there are any I don't know who they are, the category could or should be recreated. deisenbe (talk) 01:27, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also proposing for deletion Category: 2018 establishments in Richmond, Virginia and Category: 2018 establishments in Virginia
Nominator's rationale: We don't categorize establishments and disestablishments on the city level. No such categories exist for New York City, Tokyo, London, etc etc. Washington D.C. is a district. As for 2018 categories, WP:TOOSOON also applies....William 12:22, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
