The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Bangladeshi imams , without prejudice to re-creation if and when there are enough articles to populate it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:32, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT —swpbT 17:06, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
comment: I am not sure if this should be kept or not. Khatib is the head of a mosque and Bangladesh has a single national mosque. So there has been a few of them but so far only two have articles. I created the Cat.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 23:25, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Salaries of the office-holders

[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:Salaries of office-holders and Category:Income of sportspeople. The second contains NBA salary cap which is not a list, so the other suggested name "lists…" does not fit. – Fayenatic London 22:55, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No reason for the definite article "the" to be present in this category name. Bearcat (talk) 16:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Split. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:34, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Separate articles > separate categories. Per Ben's article, these two don't exclusively work in a pair, so there is no need for a single category. Avicennasis @ 14:18, 29 Tevet 5777 / 14:18, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:26, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, it is a set category, not a topic category. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:27, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom The content is about the heroes themselves, not about specific elements of their cult. Dimadick (talk) 18:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCAWARD, these people aren't notable because they are a hero, instead they have deserved this hero title for something they were notable for already. Move eponymous article to Category:Hero. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:57, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Perfect example of WP:Overcategorization. There is no inherent notability in not reaching the top of a music chart. What is next, singles that only reached number three? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 04:24, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 April 6 ~ Rob13Talk 12:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Neither category has a lot of entries and they are redundant. JDDJS (talk) 03:35, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I mean does it apply that the species and the character in this category can later change gender? That was your point, after all. The article Hutt (Star Wars) says they reproduce without sex, that doesn't quite imply a possible change of gender, even less it implies hermaphroditism.

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 08:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: What qualifies somebody as an intellectual is a matter of opinion. Is just being smart enough to qualify as an intellectual? Is somebody who is stupid but thinks that they are smart and intellectual? What about people that are really stupid in some aspects but really smart in other aspects?

Réunionnais people

[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: keep. – Fayenatic London 12:26, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
plus 37 subcategories
Nominator's rationale: The convention of Category:People by nationality is "Fooian people", using the demonymic form. In the past we have made exceptions only for special cases such as Category:People from Georgia (country) (where "Georgian" is ambiguous both with the US state and the Georgian era), and for Category:People from Northern Ireland (where the demonym "Northern Irish" is non-neutral and rejected by a majority).
In this case, "Réunionnais" is the standard demonymic form, and there is no good reason not to use it. The term may be unfamiliar, but so are the demonyms for many other small or impoverished places, and we use many which are much less obvious than this one: e.g. Cat:Burkinabé people (Burkina Faso), Cat:Sammarinese people (San Marino), Cat:Malagasy people (Madagascar), and Cat:Sahrawi people (Western Sahara).
Any unfamiliarity can be accommodated simply by retaining all the redirects which will be created by these moves, so for example entering "Slaves from Réunion" into WP:HOTCAT will still work. And adopting the standard demonymic form will allow the use of the the standard classification templates such as {{Fooian people}} to assist navigation.
I know that in a previous Réunionnais CFD (2014 September 6), some editors expressed a preference for abandoning the demonymic form entirely. I would support that (with a preference for the inclusive "People of FooPlace" as used on commons, e.g. commons:Category:People of the United States) if it was used for all nationalities ... but for now, the convention is demonymic, and all sorts of maintenance hassles are created by non-standard category names such as this one. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:19, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All categories are now tagged, in these edits. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:38, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Guadaloupean" is most certainly a neologism outside the wiki microcosm. Google, over 5 years, shows ZERO hits for it. See here. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what sources ngrams uses, but "Guadeloupean" is widely used in realiable sources. The claim that it's a neologism is plain false.
Google Books shows hundreds of uses of "Guadeloupean", and JSTOR has >659 hits. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:27, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
