October 10[edit]

Category:Starset[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. ℯxplicit 06:39, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Another eponymous category for a musical group that falls short of the need to have it. WP:OCEPON --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:41, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. There is not enough material at this time to warrant an eponymous category—just the main article, navigation template ({{Starset}}) and the standard album and songs subcategories. -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep enough songs, nearly enough albums. gidonb (talk) 04:53, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per abundant precedent. The number of songs is irrelevant, they are in a category together anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:08, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    The relative amount of songs (never went into numeric specifics) is extremely relevant as it is legitimate and navigationally helpful to tie that well-populated category of songs by Starset to the Starset article through a category system. gidonb (talk) 17:40, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    A tie, yes, but not necessarily through the category system. The navigation template is more suitable for that purpose. -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:14, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Music in Christian worship[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:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 22#Category:Music in Christian worship. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:26, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: downmerge, the scope of the two categories is largely overlapping and Church music seems to be a better name, per article Church music. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:07, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ottoman Jews by city[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: merge. -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:38, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge as an unneeded category layer, containing only two subcats. (Initially I was considering nominating the category for deletion, as the two subcategories don't seem to be Ottoman per se. But the large amount of biographies is from the Ottoman era after all.) Marcocapelle (talk) 16:31, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge -- target is better. Ottoman refers to the ruling family, one of whom were Jewish. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:14, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mexican Secretaries of Communications[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. ℯxplicit 06:39, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Incorrectly named category for holders of a cabinet position in the government of Mexico. The ministry is called the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (Mexico), not just the "Secretariat of Communications", so the category for the ministers needs to match. Bearcat (talk) 15:39, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bearcat: Question: should the official title really matter? Names of ministries seem to change all the time, for example one of the people in this category has been a Secretary of Commerce and Public Works. We could alternatively have categories for "Ministers regarding infrastucture" in every country, with a lowercase i. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:24, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom (for now), per the convention of Category:Cabinet of Mexico. However, I agree with Marcocapelle that Communications ministers of Mexico and Transport ministers of Mexico would be better in the long run. -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. ℯxplicit 06:39, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This move was proposed by User:Nicholas0 but improperly listed. I also support the move as proper grammar. @Nicholas0: ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:02, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:24, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Pointless hidden category that contains content identical to Category:Redirect templates and isn't sortkeyed Pariah24 (talk) 00:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ℯxplicit 06:42, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • inclined to delete The only thing I see that this category does is provide something a way to look at all of these in a single category rather than having to traverse a tree. I'm dubious as to whether this is actually helpful. Mangoe (talk) 19:10, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. When there's a category tree, it's sometimes helpful to have all of the tree's contents in a single place as well as dividing them up among the subcategories. That's what this is doing. For example, a bot might be instructed to perform an action on all redirect templates, and instead of having to go through the subcategories and perhaps encountering the same template twice or accidentally missing one entirely, it can just load this category and get all of the redirect templates from one place. Nyttend (talk) 20:21, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • PS, sometimes it helps to know how many pages are in a category tree. This category provides that ability instantly for its tree: you don't have to add up the contents of the subcategories, and it avoids the problem of double-counting duplicates. Nyttend (talk) 22:05, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
1 It removes the category clutter @Pariah24: saw which was the basis of this nomination.
2 It provides a more accurate total count of the pages for @Nyttend: with less maintenance. (Notice that the category incorrectly misses 7 of the 242 articles while the template catches them all.)
Win/win. RevelationDirect (talk) 09:56, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, with RD's recent improvement the keep argument is no longer relevant. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:08, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
