June 24[edit]

Category:Destroyed landmarks in Spain demolished during the Medieval Spain[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. Timrollpickering 11:45, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article, and we do not have any other medieval categories like this. The article is already in Category:Destroyed landmarks in Spain and in Category:Buildings and structures demolished in the 14th century, that should be sufficient. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:44, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
?? end of the Medina Azahara article "People rose in revolt in Córdoba, while Sanchelo was busy in his expedition against Alfonso V in December 1009. Since Sanchelo was absent and there was nothing else in sight toward which to vent their anger, the people looted the palace built by Al-Mansur for four days. when they were through with the looting and plundering the palace, they put it to flames, and in no time the beautiful Az-Zahira was reduced to ashes." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnbod (talkcontribs)

Category:Medieval Iran[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Medieval Persia. Timrollpickering 17:28, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant per Category:Medieval Persia and the one article in this category is not really about Iran (the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate was in Damascus and Harran). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:39, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete Johnbod (talk) 23:14, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • (as nominator) I wouldn't oppose a reverse merge. But we certainly shouldn't keep the two categories in parallel. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jewish-related controversies[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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This seems to be a very vague category and open to abuse. What counts as 'Jewish-related'? How are we to determine that the controversy is as a result of Jewishness? Bangalamania (talk) 13:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If necessary, Merge to the huge Category:Judaism-related controversies. Johnbod (talk) 23:16, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and not merge not sure that everything related to ethnic Jews relates to Judaism, a religion. The first article in that I perused was about whether after WWII, baptized Jewish children should or should not be reunited with family members who survived the Holocaust or remain with the families who sheltered them during the war. Not about Judaism, but about Christianity and ethnic Jews. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:44, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
