Propose merging Category:Propaganda by interest to Category:Propaganda by topic

Nominator's rationale: These categories seem to cover the same purpose. N.B. this is a Stefanomione category. Place Clichy (talk) 18:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - per nom. We have Category:Categories by topic, but not Category:Categories by interest. Also 'by topic' is more general than 'by interest'. Oculi (talk) 23:37, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. The by interest category covers the ideological content of the propaganda. This could be easily covered as its topic. Dimadick (talk) 10:30, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. The division between interest and topic is not well defined. With the note that Category:Propaganda by topic is currently a container category, this will have to be removed to accommodate the additional pages. - Andrewaskew (talk) 06:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Mayors of Rumson, New Jersey to Category:Mayors of places in New Jersey
Propose merging Category:Mayors of Verona, New Jersey to Category:Mayors of places in New Jersey

Nominator's rationale: Tiny categories, membership not likely to grow. Rusf10 (talk) 14:33, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep most, and merge two. The usual minimum size which editors apply per WP:SMALLCAT is 5 articles. Four of the categories listed already meet or exceed that threshold: Category:Mayors of Princeton, New Jersey, Category:Mayors of East Orange, New Jersey, Category:Mayors of Long Branch, New Jersey, Category:Mayors of Orange, New Jersey. Those are all clear keeps.
Several of the rest have 3 or 4 articles, so it would take only 1 or 2 more articles to meet the threshold.
That leaves only a pair of 2-article categories to upmerge: Category:Mayors of Lakewood Township, New Jersey and Category:Mayors of Matawan, New Jersey. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:17, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge four, Ridgefield and Verona only have 3 articles, they may be merged too. 20:49, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Question, shouldn't it be a dual upmerge? Marcocapelle (talk) 20:49, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it should indeed be a dual upmerge, e.g. Category:Mayors of Matawan, New Jersey to Category:Mayors of places in New Jersey + Category:People from Matawan, New Jersey. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:15, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dual upmerge (also to People from Foo) in cases where there are less than four (or perhpas 3) articles. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:22, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- @BrownHairedGirl:Where is it stated that the maximum size for WP:SMALLCAT is 5? Also, none of these are likely to be expanded as the trend has been to delete articles about mayors that are not otherwise notable. I put a few of the articles in these categories up for deletion at AFD.--Rusf10 (talk) 16:51, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- That number isn't codified, but it is the threshold usually applied by editors in CGD discussions.
  As to possible deletions, CFD is not the place to discuss notability. WP:AFD is thataway. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not arguing notability here. My point is that given the trend with these type of articles, the categories are more likely to shrink than expand.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:42, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep populated satisfactorily populated (all, but two) and dual upmerge remainder: Category:Mayors of Lakewood Township, New Jersey and Category:Mayors of Matawan, New Jersey Djflem (talk) 17:29, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question: @BrownHairedGirl: and @Djflem:, would you be opposed to an upmerge of Ridgefield and Verona, each with three articles? Or is it worth keeping them for the sake of potentially meeting the threshold of WP:SMALLCAT and not losing the histories of those categories? bibliomaniac 1 5 19:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I would oppose, tho not strongly. Both are towns of over 10,000 people, and in the US that sort of size of place tends to be well-covered, so there is a reasonable expectation of expansion. My concerns is not the history of the categories (which is trivial), but rather that the more stuff that is dumped into the 200-strong list at Category:Mayors of places in New Jersey, the harder it is to find anything there, and the harder it is to subcat it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:10, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Would not oppose, but as mentioned, the the size of Category:Mayors of places in New Jersey makes less useful than subcats by municipalities.Djflem (talk) 05:42, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American schoolteachers by location

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. bibliomaniac 1 5 02:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:American schoolteachers by location to Category:American schoolteachers by state

Nominator's rationale: Per Category:American people by occupation by state. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:01, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That then leaves out Category:Schoolteachers from Washington, D.C.‎ and Category:Guamanian schoolteachers. How is that an improvement?Rathfelder (talk) 14:05, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The issue which Rathfelder raises is common to all of the US-topics-by-location categories, and it is inconsistently resolved. My preferred solution would be to create a by-location category in each case, with by state as a subcat. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:21, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or alt rename to Category:American schoolteachers by state or territory. Until categories for Washington D.C., Puerto Rico etc. are not immediately reverted when they are placed (even with a distinct sortkey such as +) in a geographic diffusion category called by state, we should not use this problematic terminology. (example of such a revert) I don't know if the problem is the reverts or the name of these categories, but there is a problem. Place Clichy (talk) 18:48, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support alt rename to Category:American schoolteachers by state or territory, less ambiguous but does not exclude any of the current content. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:53, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Could we work up a solution that could be applied generally? Rathfelder (talk) 22:42, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The format "by state or territory" is applied in the United States in the tree of Category:Politics of the United States by state or territory and also, more generally, in several other countries e.g. Category:Categories by state or territory of Australia. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:03, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Marcocapelle, the problem with "by state or territory" is that if read pedantically it excludes Washington DC, just as "by state" excludes DC. So sometimes DC is included in such a category for navigational convenience, and other times it is removed by a pedant. Both the pedantic and convenience approaches have reasonable justifications, so we need a solution which bypasses that debate. So far, "by location" seems to me to be the only clearly inclusive solution. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:41, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In this discussion I am definitely in favor of convenience and I think it would be sad to create "by state" categories and remove territories from these "by state" categories if in practice they are of the same level. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I also favour convenience, but if other editors don't share that view, then we just find the pages being removed from the category, which is the least convenient outcome of all. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:13, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The pedantic approach is not reasonable. The principle at stake here is diffusion of categories. When this diffusion is justified (you probably wouldn't want all the state categories at the root of American schoolteachers) and the principle of this diffusion is geography, there is simply no good reason to leave out Washington D.C., Guam etc. "DC is not a state" is no good reason, and e.g. a + sortkey is a perfect way to show for it. If we want to fight pedantism with pedantism, we should name such categories ...by state or territory or insular area or Washington D.C. or else ...by first-level subdivision. The trouble imho with by location is that it also applies to by city, by county, by region... categories when they exist. Place Clichy (talk) 07:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as container; create subcats per BHG, following the example of Category:American people by location. Oculi (talk) 23:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but tag as a container; and provide a headnote explaining that it is for US States, territories, and DC. Category names are better for being brief. Matching Category:Politics of the United States by state or territory might be desirable in theory, but pedantic correctness on the status of DC seems to point away from that. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:28, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
cmt The frequent ways of handling Washington DC is put it into the parent category of the 'by state' category, so it I did now put it into Category:American schoolteachers Hmains (talk) 05:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Cmt: I reversed this recategorization; it is not appropriate to make such a recategorization while a CfD discussion is open. UnitedStatesian (talk)
Keep as is Although there are a very small number of counterexamples, "by location" is the standard way that categories aggregate states with the federal district and with non-state territories of the United States; see Category:Fictional American people by location, Category:Companies of the United States by location, many, many others. UnitedStatesian (talk) 16:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and use "by location" for all the similar categories instead of "by state", unless there is some good reason not to. Rathfelder (talk) 19:36, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. to the "19th-century" scheme proposed by Peterkingiron. bibliomaniac 1 5 19:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Victorian-era submarines of the United States to Category:Submarines of the United States
Propose merging Category:Victorian-era frigates of Germany to Category:Frigates of Germany
Propose merging Category:Victorian-era corvettes of Germany to Category:Corvettes of Germany

Nominator's rationale: merge, "Victorian era" is not applicable to countries like the United States or Germany. These are overlooked categories that should have been included in this earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge A different country's period is not defining to Germany. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:49, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps Rename to Category:19th century submarines of the United States, etc. The use of Victorian is inappropriate. The relevant period for America is pre-Civil War / Civil War to WWI; for Germany Confederation / Empire. No objection to merging but I thought an alternative target might be offered. The difference between my target and the subject is the odd year after 1900, which is hardly significant. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to 19th-century per Peterkingiron (but hyphenate the century adjective). If not, Double merge for the first one at least, to Category:Victorian-era submarines, which already contains non-British Empire members directly, and should probably be nominated for renaming to 19th-century. – Fayenatic London 21:51, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Economics paradoxes to Category:Economical paradoxes

Nominator's rationale: per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 April 4#Category:Mathematics paradoxes. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 04:47, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Split rather than rename. Some are paradoxes in economics (i.e. in economic theory), for example Bertrand paradox (economics); others are practical economic paradoxes, for example European paradox. They are incomparable with each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Economical is not the adjectival form of economics. Oculi (talk) 12:00, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking about adjectives, shouldn't it rather be changed to Category:Paradoxes in economics and Category:Economic paradoxes respectively? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:42, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marcocapelle's suggestions make sense; economical in my mind means "thrifty" or "low priced", not anything having to do with the "economics" as a subject but that may be different on the other side of the pond. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:33, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prefer Category:Paradoxes in economics. Economical can mean money-saving, which has a different sense. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See all other articles and categories for Beitar rather then Betar.

Oppose per article Betar and Category:Betar. (Also note that the category has not been tagged, see WP:CFD for instructions.) Marcocapelle (talk) 13:17, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See all other articles and categories of this kind: Category:Beitar Tel Aviv F.C. with four daughter categories the same, Category:Beitar Tel Aviv Bat Yam F.C., Beitar Jerusalem F.C., Beitar Illit, etc. Good example - Category:Betar football clubs but four daughter categories spell Beitar and 30 out of 31 articles also spell Beitar. עמירם פאל (talk) 18:06, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please start an RM at Talk:Betar, dependent on the outcome of that I will withdraw my oppose. If Beitar appears to be the preferred spelling, Category:Betar should be nominated as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting Category:Things named after Nursultan Nazarbayev
Propose Deleting Category:Things named after Heydar Aliyev
Propose Deleting Category:Things named after B. R. Ambedkar
Propose Deleting Category:Things named after Julius Caesar

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME

These categories are exactly what they sound like, textbook WP:SHAREDNAME. And most of these were created by a banned sock puppet. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. The parent Category:Lists of things named after politicians already tells how we handle things named after people: in lists rather than in categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:13, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per WP:SHAREDNAME. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:22, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete possibly after listifying. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:36, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all, though probably rename. These are fundamentally different from Category:Things named after Chris, which is the kind of category WP:SHAREDNAME was designed to prescribe, and more like Category:Memorials to John F. Kennedy, which is of course fine. These are too. UnitedStatesian (talk)

I was about to defend the JFK category for containing actual purpose built memorials not just random things named after him ... but then I clicked on the category. All the street names and high schools in that category are not fine. RevelationDirect (talk) 10:43, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete e.g. Ambedkar Nagar monorail station is well categorized (grouped with similar articles) by Category:Mumbai Monorail stations. DexDor^(talk) 17:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all Being named after these people is often the only reason the subjects are remotly notable. Many things such as the titles named after Julius Caesar have long histories and interesting emtologies.★Trekker (talk) 16:38, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The articles are about colleges, airports etc and should be notable as such (or be deleted). For example, Caesars Entertainment Corporation meets WP:NCORP and the article doesn't even mention Julius Ceasar. DexDor^(talk) 19:57, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all (and if something does not belong, just fix it). I don't see WP:SHAREDNAME to be about these types of categories but as UnitedStatesian pointed above, a random name, such as "Chris". Having an easy to search and navigate category system is beneficial for the project. --Gonnym (talk) 14:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SHAREDNAME includes "Avoid categorising ... by characteristics of the name rather than the subject itself." and includes the example of Churches named for St. Dunstan. Many such categories have been deleted (example). Name-based characteristics are also non-defining in all/most cases. Categorizing things by their name would open up all sorts of issues such as things that are renamed or have multiple names. DexDor^(talk) 18:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. SHAREDNAME applies here seen the content of these categories. The rare occurrences of articles about their namesake may be be merged, but in the lot I think only The Museum of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan qualifies.

Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:America's Cup Hall of Fame

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD and WP:OVERLAPCAT)

The America's Cup Hall of Fame is an award started by the Herreshoff Marine Museum in 1992, often for people who participated much earlier. Most the articles mention the America's Cup generally right in the intros but generally mention this award later in the articles so it doesn't seem defining. All of the people I clicked on were already in Category:America's Cup sailors or other America's Cup categories based on their role, so this commingled category seems less useful for navigation. We already have the winners listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*RFC There is an open request for comments on proposed changes to WP:OCAWARD. Your input (pro/con/other) is always welcome here. -RD

Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Germany's Sports Hall of Fame inductees

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)

The Germany's Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2006 and received a lot of press for inducting a few Nazis. A large majority of these winners participated in the Olympics way before 2006 and are already well categorized under Category:Olympic competitors for Germany. There are a few non-Olympic athletes here but they all seem well categorized: Joachim Löw under the FIFA World Cup, Emanuel Lasker under Chess, and Wolfgang von Trips under Formula One. A large majority of these article don't even mention the award so it's clearly non-defining. The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Background We previously deleted similar All Sports halls of fame here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
