The result of the discussion was: purge/clean up; no consensus to merge.– Fayenatic London 07:41, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. There is considerable overlap and misplacement between these two categories. Much of the content is duplicated, as it cannot probably be easily differentiated between the two functions (1, 2 etc.), but there are also several entries in the heads of government categories that are clearly about presidents or heads of state (1, 2, 3 etc.) or vice versa (1). It will be more practical to have a merged category. Place Clichy (talk) 15:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1894 establishments in Nigeria

[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 for now, but I will implement this by redirecting this one to the Lagos Colony sub-cat, as this is part of a hierarchy, see Category:19th-century establishments in Nigeria, so a wider discussion on Category:Establishments in Nigeria by century would be would be appropriate. – Fayenatic London 08:13, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Category:1894 establishments in Nigeria
  • Nominator's rationale This is a clear example of anachronistic trying to impose boundaries invented at a later date on the past. Nigeria is known to many as the "mistake of 1914" although sometimes the year I believe is actually 1908 when the plans to unify the northern and southern Nigeria protectorates was put in place. The Southern Nigeria Protectorate was formed in 1900, but Lagos Colony remained a seperate place until 1906. The only contents that this category has ever had are curretnly correctly placed in Category:1894 establishments in Lagos Colony. Lagos Colony was a distinct place from the domains of the Royal Niger Company. Having this category implies that there is some inherent unity to the lands that make up Nigeria. This is an idea that is hotly debated and contested even to the present, and to try and claim it as applying when Nigeria was multiple polities that in no way say themselves as a coherent grouping is just plain false. This is an extreme of historically anachronistic and inaccurate categorization that should not be done. We should categorize by either coherent political units of the time, or coherent and with contemporary recogniztion social-cultural units of the time. There is no such unit that would in 1894 consider Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and many other ethnic groupings, some in tribal societies and some in complex states linked to the Sokoto Caliphate to be one unified social-cultrual zone that we could call "Nigeria". especially one that would limit itself in any way to anything like the modern boundaries. The Lagos Colony is a clearly defined place, Nigeria is not at this year and there is no reason to have a category for it. The lands controlled by the Royal Niger Company may or may not in this year form a unit, and it may or may not make sense to call them "Nigeria", I would say that using that name for those lands would be at best misleading. However since the actual articles we have relate to Lagos Colony, and Lagos Colony was clearly not under the Royal Niger Company, even if in principal we would accept this category for the Royal Nigeria Company territory, we hav no contents for this year in that territory and so as applied we should delete this category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:15, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It would not be practical to have separate chronology structures for Nigeria and the Lagos Colony. Place Clichy (talk) 16:04, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As anachronistic. Retroactively applying the current country that has had multiple borders is unlikely to aid navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:37, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Just prior to starting this nomination, Johnpacklambert emptied the nominated category. (He also managed to suggest that I was a liar in the edit summary, but I suppose that is neither here nor there.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:14, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support There was no Nigeria in the 19th century. The Lagos Colony categories are adequate. @Johnpacklambert: please calm down. Your current manners are not winning you friends. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:36, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[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) 20:31, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/User/Archive/Topical index#Wikipedians by video game * Pppery * it has begun... 13:37, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery could you explain the rational and why the Mass Effect category is different than the ones in Category:Wikipedians interested in video games? Gonnym (talk) 22:49, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I missed that entire tree when nominating this category (due to this one being created with no parent categories) and probably wouldn't have started this nomination if I had found it. I would support deletion of many of the subcategories of Category:Wikipedians interested in video games that use the term "like" for the same reason. So, in short, nothing, other than you having revealed that other bad categories exist. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:17, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery Could you point out why this category was nominated for deletion besides revealing that you hate "like" in the title, and my noob mistake of not adding a parent category to it? Jimydog000 (talk) 13:52, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It has nothing to do with my feelings. It has to do with Wikipedia:Overcategorization/User categories#Irrelevant likes, and more generally the fact that categories grouping users by which video games they like have been deemed not to ha[ve] the capacity to facilitate coordination and collaboration between users for the improvement of the encyclopedia by numerous past discussions. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:56, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I was following the example of dozens of other pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_who_like_Assassin%27s_Creed I guess I will have to remove any links to this page as well such as in the userbox template.

When does the page get deleted? I see that there are four other user accounts agreeing on it's deletion. Jimydog000 (talk) 08:05, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  24. Propose renaming Category:Paintings of the Whitney Museum of American Art to Category:Paintings in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art
  25. Propose renaming Category:Paintings of Versailles to Category:Paintings in the collection of the Palace of Versailles
Nominator's rationale: These are categories I left out of this earlier nomination by accident. The outcome of that nomination was that categories beginning "Paintings of" were moved to "Paintings in the collection of" because of the ambiguity of the first phrase; e.g. Paintings of Versailles could be read as meaning paintings depicting the palace (or the gardens, or even the city) of Versailles, rather than paintings within the palace. For good measure I've also added the sole example of "Paintings in the collections of", plural, so that it's not an exception to this scheme. Ham II (talk) 11:59, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:03, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It's hard to tell whether or not this association still exists (the main Google results for it are the Wikipedia category and a Guidestar profile that shows that it last filed a 990 in 2011), but whether or not it exists, it certainly doesn't seem very defining, except to the extent that it overlaps categories such as Category:Universities and colleges in Los Angeles County, California and Category:Private universities and colleges in California. We've deleted similar categories in the past. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 04:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:TRIVIALCAT & WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The International Air Transport Association is an industry trade association representing airlines and it is so dominant that it represents 82% of the world's total available seat miles, with the exceptions typically being domestic carriers. That main article discusses the organization's dominance in the industry and how it has often been accused of anti-competitive price fixing and being a cartel. The "former" subcategory is not for airlines that left the association--that's not really a thing--but for members that went out of business since the IATA was founded in 1945. Normally I suggest listification but the the 500+ articles here significantly overlap with Category:Airlines. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:45, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:10, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT & WP:OVERLAPCAT)
All 3 of the biography articles in this category are American anti-abortion activists who are already categorized under Category:American anti-abortion activists. They're in this category because they entered Planned Parenthood clinics and secretly recorded conversations and then released them as part of their activism which feels like a performance category. (There is a 4th article, LifeSiteNews, which doesn't mention this organization but is already under Category:Anti-abortion organizations in Canada.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:45, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete We do not want to start categorizing people by what they critize. Most of these people will be under pro-life categories. If they are not pro-life, and critize Planned Parenthood for not disavowing the racists motives and views of its founder, or other structural practices and issues related to the organization, I am less than convinced that this is defining. People can critize lots of things. Even if they publish am major work doing so, this is not always going to be truly defining. If it is worth mentioning in the article we can do it there, but there is no reason to group together people as a group for critizing a specific organization.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. VegaDark (talk) 01:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Aren't it even more extremist political activists than the anti-abortion partisans? This faction of the wild-eyed radicals does not even concede parents the least autonomy rights. This is definitely DEFINING! OTOH it seems not correct to name terroristic activists as mere critics. --Just N. (talk) 14:10, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:OPINIONCAT. Should any of these people be guilty of criminal offenses (terrorism?) then we have other categories for that. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:54, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP usually does not categorize things as "famous FOOs". This category can be upmerged to Category:Individual dogs; all of the articles in this target category are (hopefully) notable, and thus arguably "famous". (Category:Famous dogs was renamed to Category:Individual dogs in this 2011 discussion.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:49, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 20:44, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category presumably is categorizing people who are honoured by the monument. There is no scheme for categorizing people in this way, and being honoured in a particular monument is not defining. Note that there is not even an article Translators Memorial Monument, so it's difficult to assess whether or not this is even notable. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:43, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
