Category:UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship[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 to Category:UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship. Kbdank71 04:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename Opposed speedy request; for categories, matching the article title trumps WP:COMMONNAME of WP:CONCISE concerns. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:26, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
These are conflicting concerns and I'd like to explore other ways of addressing them. Perhaps renaming the article to "UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)"? Yaxu (talk) 16:13, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In case it's a COI concern, I should add that I am close to the subject as I hold one of these fellowships. Yaxu (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- This fails WP:OCAWARD. UKRI is the parent body for the various research councils (which fund academic research), but apparently makes some awards of its own. I do not think we normally categorise people by what scholarships or research grants they have received. What looks like a main article is actually an external link, so that we have no main article on the fellowships, only one on UKRI itself. Perhaps listify. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:54, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The fellowship is a defining characteristic and so does not fail Wikipedia:OCAWARD. Category:Fellowships exists and this award fits well in the subcategory Category:Scholarship and fellowship recipients. Yaxu (talk) 21:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename - it is customary to expand obscure acronyms, such as this one. (I can live with UK. UKRI could be anything; something to do with Ukraine perhaps. language=uk is Ukranian.) We have Category:Rhodes Scholars for instance. Oculi (talk) 02:29, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or rename, based on the articles it does not seem to be very defining. If kept, follow the article's name. If the article should be renamed, feel free to start a WP:RM procedure, if granted the category can be speedied. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:00, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    As I'm close to the subject I won't vote, but hope no-one minds one more attempt to explain how UKRI FLFs are 'defining'. They are substantial, flexible 4-7 year fellowships allowing recipients to start and fund an entire research lab for that time. Award holders tend to use it as their job title. They are the most 'prestigious' fellowships available from the UKRI and so I believe are enough to establish notability for award holders under WP:NACADEMIC on their own. It would be good to have an article too though. Yaxu (talk) 08:50, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:47, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Really, any type of percussion instrument can and has been used in a marching ensemble. The only instruments really endemic to this category would be instruments listed on the actual page, "Marching percussion". Why? I Ask (talk) 13:07, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I'm currently torn over whether to actually add the missing people to this category or just delete it outright. Personally, I'm leaning toward the latter, as it's too niche a category. Why? I Ask (talk) 11:41, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OPPOSE Seems like one more attempt to remove anything havingt to do with drum corps... All of the people in the category have Wikipedia articles and are heavily involved in the actiity. GWFrog (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@GWFrog Please don't misconstrue this as an attack against drum corps. I have been working to improve Thom Hannum's page and am looking to create Scott Johnson's page, both of whom are heavily involved with drum corps. However, I just doubt that this category is of much use (and that it may indeed break WP:OC). Why? I Ask (talk) 00:16, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:42, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article. There is no need to merge, the article is already in Category:Coffee houses of Canada and Category:Food and drink companies based in Vancouver. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:58, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Science software. Kbdank71 04:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with one article and one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: soft delete. Per WP:NOQUORUM, this uncontroversial low-participation XfD has been closed as "soft delete". Any editor may request at WP:REFUND that the category be restored. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, its two subcategories are rather unrelated to each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- This is linking facilities with a shared name, derived from a household sitting room. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:59, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: purge and merge, most articles are about tombs and those are already in Category:Mughal tombs. After purging these, upmerge the remainder per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
