Category:Drug templates

[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. bibliomaniac15 05:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Because of the title 'drugs', this template has an unclear and overly broad scope. It includes templates related to substances / recreational substances (alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, hallucinogens etc.) but also templates that relate specifically to medications (eg nitrogen mustarts, pheremones, monoclonal antibodies etc.). There is an WP:ENGVAR issue relating to the use of 'drugs' and medications' which is also going to confuse editors. 'Drugs' meaning recreational results in these being included, and 'Drugs' meaning pharmacological drugs means lots of medication templates are included.

I propose this category is renamed to Category:Substance use templates. I think that is a clear title reflecting the intended function of this category. I think this my proposed title is clearer than "Recreational substances" (this is poorly defined), "Hallucinogens" (only covers a subset), and the current title.

Ping to these editors who contributed to the last discussion (discussion here: BrownHairedGirl, Marcocapelle, Inter&anthro)- my take is that there was general consensus that the current title was not helpful, but that a proposed title wasn't found. I'd like to hear thoughts about this suggestion and also any alternate titles that might better define the category's scope. Tom (LT) (talk) 11:21, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

+ As in the previous discussion, I suppose there is room for creating Category:Psychoactive drug templates as a subcategory of Category:Psychoactive drugs. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have actually created the latter now. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Procedurally, per Marcocapelle ... but also substantively. "Substance use" is a highly vague term, whose literal meaning encompasses vast swathe of human activity. --15:46, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep -- I thought this was going to be about substance abuse, but it seems to cover both legal and illegal classes of drugs. I see no reason to change. Indeed sugar and flour are substances, but I do not think we would want we would want them in this. There may be a very slight ENGVAR issue, but nothing to cause a problem.

Category:Analysts of India-Pakistan conflict

[edit]

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 October 17#Category:Analysts of India-Pakistan conflict

Category:Analysts of Kashmir conflict

[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. bibliomaniac15 05:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It was previously proposed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_October_16#Category:Analysts_of_Kashmir_conflict to insert "the", but other suggestions were made including renaming to "Writers" or deletion, resulting in no consensus. "Writers" would be consistent with the parent Category:Political writers, and "the" would be consistent with siblings Category:Books about the Kashmir conflict & Category:United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning the Kashmir conflict. – Fayenatic London 07:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. bibliomaniac15 05:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only subcategory of Category:Anti-immigration politics by country that uses this name form. "Immigration-critical" just seems like a euphemism for "anti-immigration". Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:49, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
