November 13[edit]

Category:Human first names given to physical phenomena[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) 01:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is not defining. I also don't see the point of this category. If it were to be fully populated, it would include most tropical storms, and not much else. -- Tavix (talk) 23:42, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, and all hurricanes. Tropical storms only started being so named more recently, I think? Anyway, delete per nom. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying to be inclusive of all storms that are tropical. I guess cyclone would be the correct term? -- Tavix (talk) 01:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete shared common names. Hurricanes were notable before we named them after, first women, then both men and women, and will be notable after we've retired all the names available and go back to numbering them. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • NotDelete but maybe Listify (creator). I still think it is an interesting collection especially for those interested in names and what exactly (objects, people, etc) the latter can represent.SoSivr (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I consider this category similar in nature to the category Ship names, another subcategory of Category:Names.SoSivr (talk) 21:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ottawahitech: since you thanked me for the creation of this category, please participate in the discussion and vote against deletion of this category.SoSivr (talk) 22:05, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@SoSivr: Canavssing is not allowed. Pppery 00:25, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- Storms are named sequentially going through the alphabet each year. Originally this was for Caribbean hurricanes only, but has since been extended to East Asian typhoons and most recently British winter cyclones. I would hope that the appropriate lists exist already, by type, then year. I see nothing other than storms in the category, but suspect that the creator did not appreciate how the names arose. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:28, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per the spirit of WP:SHAREDNAME. We categorize but what things are, not how they're named. This topic is better for list articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 18:14, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations[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: Split. Timrollpickering 10:15, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is currently being filled by two maintainance templates: {{Cleanup bare-URLs}} and {{Ref expand}}. These templates describe two different issues. The former can ususally be fixed by a script, whereas the latter is harder to fix, can only be done manually, and in some cases requires asking the editor who added the source. The current name is also incorrect for the latter template, as was the former name. Thus, these different yet related backlogs should be split into seperate categories.

Category:Apostolic Nuncios to Naples[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: rename per original nomination. – Fayenatic London 22:21, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: An opposed speedy. Original nomination suggested changing "Naples" to "Kingdom of Naples" per the parent category Category:Ambassadors to the Kingdom of Naples. A copy of the speedy nomination is included below. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:11, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
copy of speedy nomination
  • Comment. The issue here is that Wikipedia is wrong more often by including the regime of a country directly in the name of an article instead of as a parenthesized disambiguator, e.g. Kingdom of Great Britain instead of Great Britain (kingdom). This is primarily a problem of article space though. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:37, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I opposed because the nunciature was not "to the Kingdom of Naples" but "to the court in Naples". The title "Nunciature to (of) Naples" is correct and is supported by scholars texts as the referred Biaudet, as well as the Karttunen. When the kingdom of Naples became the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the nunciature of Naples continued. I suggest to stay stick to sources WP:STICKTOSOURCE. To change the title of such category is an historical error. A ntv (talk) 22:15, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I wouldn't go so far as to say it would introduce historical error. There are plenty of instances in history where names are applied retroactively to things that did not use that name at the time. We're not necessarily bound to following sources that are contemporary or closer to the events in question that we are. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Modern scholars may introduce new names, but this shall be done by scholars not by wikipedians (or it is WP:OR). I referred to the works of the Biaudet who published in 1910 his researches in the Vatican Archives for a period up to 1648: he was not contemporary or closer to the events in question. See also Origine e Carattere della Nunziatura di Napoli, 1523-1569 by Villani 1958, or the eminent Fonti per la Storia d'Italia: Nunziature di Napoli 1962. A ntv (talk) 22:33, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • I'm not doubting anything specific you have said, just the overgeneralized nature of your broader statements. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:22, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (1) Brevity is a virtue for categories (2) there is no room for ambiguity, since the Pope did not send multiple ambassadors to the same place. This is in addition to the issues others have raised. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:39, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: in order to consider an alternative that would create consistency the other way
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 21:56, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging the participants @Good Olfactory, Brandmeister, A ntv, and Peterkingiron: for their further comments. I am not supporting either the original or the alternative, but this CFD ought to settle for one or the other, rather than leaving inconsistent category names. – Fayenatic London 21:56, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also pinging @Neddyseagoon and Tassedethe: as contributors to an earlier version of the French category. – Fayenatic London 22:02, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • While re-reading the earlier discussion I think we shouldn't change anything, per explanation of User:A ntv. As for the option of renaming "Kingdom of Naples," presumably that should only be done if applied to the whole category tree; and besides in that case "Naples (kingdom)" would be preferable over plain "Naples" in order to avoid ambiguity. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:25, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose changing the others to plain "Naples". I'd rather have the inconsistency within this tree than develop a broader inconsistency with the parent Category:Kingdom of Naples. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:52, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original move, keep everything at Kingdom of Naples - brevity is always good in category names, but so are clarity and predictability. In this case I think it's sensible to keep the modern city and the historical kingdom distinct. Also User:A ntv should note that technically there are no ambassadors to the United Kingdom, they are appointed to the Court of St James's - but Wikipedia follows the WP:COMMONNAME and has category names for ambassadors to the UK. Usability is more important than official usage, particularly when it comes to category names.Le Deluge (talk) 02:41, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original proposal Subcategory of Category:Ambassadors to the Kingdom of Naples. Armbrust The Homunculus 06:20, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AEL Limassol F.C.[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: rename Category:AEL FC managers to Category:AEL Limassol managers; merge Category:AEL FC players to Category:AEL Limassol players; rename Category:AEL BC players to Category:AEL Limassol (basketball) players. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:33, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The team was commonly known as AEL Limassol (uefa.com), with a Greek team also called themselves AEL FC from Larissa (which common name was disputed, UEFA use Larissa FC, the club just use AEL, media use AE Larissa and other combination) Nevertheless, the current category system was for the Cyprus club, which should be moved to distinguish the two clubs (a rough inspection, seem most of the wasn't mis-cated). Matthew_hk tc 15:13, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I also nominated
Category:AEL FC players to Category:AEL Limassol F.C. players
Category:AEL BC players to Category:AEL Limassol B.C. players (A.E. Larissa from Greek also have basketball section) Matthew_hk tc 15:15, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Matthew_hk tc 15:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Really we need separate articles about the football and basketball clubs... GiantSnowman 19:43, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 21:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: it may be helpful to state the current article on the football club is at AEL Limassol, and the article on the basketball club is at AEL Limassol (basketball). Note that neither of the proposed names meet the usual speedy-renaming criteria WP:C2D namely to match the article names. @GiantSnowman: you may now wish to comment further. – Fayenatic London 21:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The category names should match the article names - so Category:AEL Limassol players and Category:AEL Limassol (basketball) players. GiantSnowman 07:58, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems like this is a straightforward WP:C2D case:
Rename Category:AEL FC managers to Category:AEL Limassol managers
Merge Category:AEL FC players to Category:AEL Limassol players
Rename Category:AEL BC players to Category:AEL Limassol (basketball) players
Marcocapelle (talk) 13:10, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it should be renamed.Bluesangrel (talk) 04:06, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Politics of the Palestinian territories[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: no consensus. Although no opposition was expressed to the first, or to the third as revised, the changes would make them inconsistent with sub-cats or parents respectively, so it seems to me that some actual support would be required in order to demonstrate sufficient consensus to make the changes. – Fayenatic London 22:44, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reformulate - propose rename to Category:Mandatory Palestine geography stubs per Carlossuarez.GreyShark (dibra) 13:53, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The Palestinian territories is a geographic definition (areas under Palestinian control or partial control as referred by the UN), while the politics certainly belong to the geopolitical ruler of those territories - the Palestinian National Authority. Palestine is too generic, as is currently a disambig page.GreyShark (dibra) 16:47, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the last one which contains "Mandatory Palestine" geography stubs which have nothing to do with the PNA, and several appear to be in Israel not in any area the UN recognizes as under the PNA. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:29, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed the last one is a mashup on various topics - mainly of Mandatory Palestine, so probably rename to Category:Mandatory Palestine geography stubs will resolve this with later cleanup.GreyShark (dibra) 13:29, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose renaming Category:Treaties of Palestine. This category includes treaties entered into by the PLO, the Palestinian National Authority, and the State of Palestine. Which of these entities entered into the treaty usually depends of which entity was recognised at the time as a valid treaty-making body. There are a fair number of State of Palestine ones currently, and it's by no means overwhelming PNA ones. (In fact, at this stage, it's probably majority State of Palestine treaties.) It seems that the ambiguity here is helpful. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:49, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How about renaming to Category:Treaties of the State of Palestine?GreyShark (dibra) 05:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That would probably be better. But, of course, several of them are treaties agreed to by the PLO or the PNA, with no claim even by Palestine that it was entering the agreement as a "State of Palestine", which is why I would support the status quo, since it accurately covers all three possible contingencies.

Category:Wikipedian interested in football in Armenia[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: rename to Category:Wikipedians interested in football in Armenia, Category:Wikipedians interested in football in Azerbaijan. – Fayenatic London 22:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Should be deleted Hovhannes Karapetyan 16:24, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
  • Rename both to 'Wikipedians interested in football in ...'. No case for deletion has been made. Oculi (talk) 14:35, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to parent categories per WP:SMALLCAT, there is currently just one editor in both categories. If kept, support adding -s in the category name. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:49, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Customer experience management[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: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:30, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:C2D to align with main article Customer experience. Speedy nomination was declined because of Customer experience#Management but the content of the category is more about customer experience in general than about customer experience management specifically. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:56, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to match main article and for truth in advertising of the actual contents. RevelationDirect (talk) 22:49, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:29, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:34, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close to match related categories, which are subject to a CFD of a few days ago. Category:Nova Scotian Settlers (Sierra Leone) looked like a viable target. The suggested target is liable to pick up early colonists in Nova Scotia, which would not be the intention, so that a dab extension is needed. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:58, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not very mysterious, just renaming by adding (Sierra Leone) between brackets. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:34, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Per Nom for Now The main article is Nova Scotian Settlers so the category names should blindly match and this one article category isn't serving a navigational function. All that being said, I think the article should be renamed to add the "(Sierra Leone)" clarification since many readers would not expect the African connection. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:12, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
