September 11

[edit]

Myanmar/Burmese 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: merge. MER-C 09:39, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no separate category tree for "Myanmar" people, and Burmese is a valid demonym for the country of Myanmar per main article. The currently 4 articles in these rump categories do not stand out in any way from the other articles in the well-established Burmese people category tree, e.g. the 141 people currently under Category:21st-century Burmese people. This pretty much meets WP:C2C criterion for speedy renaming. It is also in line with this CfD. Place Clichy (talk) 15:26, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 09:46, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Tracking category to show how many pages would be affected by removing a parameter from {{Infobox person}}. It was specifically linked to a discussion that has been archived for a year now and resulted in no course of action or follow-up discussion: Template talk:Infobox_person/Archive 33#Use of "Alma mater". – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 11:35, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge, also to Category:Mayors of places in California. MER-C 10:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Also merge to Mayors of places in California.

Category with 1 entry. Chino is not big enough for its mayors to be automatically notable. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:21, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per paragraph 2 of WP:SMALLCAT, as category may have potential for growth since we've held that population size doesn't matter much in mayor notability. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 16:00, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Unlikely that this category will contain e.g. 5 articles any time soon. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:24, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- This is the usual solution: local politicians are likely to be notable for other reasons than being mayor. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:54, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While it's true that the size of a city is not in and of itself the make or break condition for mayoral notability, that fact does not automatically lead to every mayor of every place always qualifying for an article: what the mayoral notability test does depend upon is the degree to which a mayor can be well-sourced as the subject of enough more than just local coverage to get him over WP:NPOL #2, and while it is possible for some smalltown mayors to clear that bar sometimes, most still do not. So the test for when a category for the town's mayors becomes justified still remains that a sufficient number of articles already exists, not just the fact that it's theoretically possible that more might someday. Even the one mayor who is categorized here does not actually have an article because mayor per se; he has an article because he also served as a state senator, and thus got over NPOL #1 regardless of whether he cleared NPOL #2 or not. That said, the article should also be readded to Category:Mayors of places in California, not just to the People from Chino category alone. Bearcat (talk) 18:43, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge to Chino category and mayors of places in California. The one article is on a person who is notable for being a California State senator. There is absolutely no reason we should have categories for every possible place mayor, since most mayors are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:58, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Barber of Seville (play)

[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 Category:The Barber of Seville (play) to Category:Spain in fiction, otherwise delete. MER-C 10:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With just the main article and one 'Works based on...' subcategory, there is not enough content to warrant an eponymous category for either of these plays. (Pinging the categories' creator, User:Howard61313) All contents are already appropriately categorized, and so upmerging is not required. -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:33, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

High school football coaches by high school

[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 to Category:High school football coaches in Florida and Category:High school football coaches in Tennessee respectively. MER-C 16:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnpacklambert: there are definitely many coaches here who have coached high school football in more than one state. I've edited a good portion of these bio articles, and they are there. Dean Slayton is an example. Also, "football" in the context of the United States is not ambiguous. By default, it means American football. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:15, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think everyone who supported the merge is fine with alternate merge now that the US category has been diffused into state categories. @Marcocapelle: can we close this one? Jweiss11 (talk) 00:52, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
