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: no consensus. bibliomaniac15 05:43, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category fork. Ibadibam (talk) 19:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. "Place" is already covered in "geography and place" so a fork is redundant (WP:OVERCATEGORIZATION) ButlerBlog (talk) 15:36, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, merging would make the number of subcategories increase from 20+ to 50+, this would become quite messy, and places is a valid subset of geography. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Nominator rationale In general we use China and Chinese to refer to the PRC.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:54, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The category specifies its temporal and geographic scope, while the target category does not. "Chinese" is overly vague. Dimadick (talk) 05:14, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:30, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As the Central Gauteng women's cricket team page now reflects, Transvaal is simply a former name of the team (as Gauteng is a former part of Transvaal province), so all players who played for the team should be contained within one category. Mpk662 (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support one category for the team is better than one category for each name it's been known as. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:01, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Per nom and Joseph2302's comments. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Procedural comment: nominator's edit summary was: "a list of unrelated people shouldn't be on wikipedia". Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as the people in the category seem unrelated to each other, and they are therefore not a family. Unlike other family categories such as Category:Lauda family, where the 4 people are 4 generations of the same family. Please can someone tag this nomination appropriately as a deletion discussion (I don't know how to do manually, as I use Twinkle for it). Joseph2302 (talk) 16:10, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- According to Zellweger, this is a Swiss noble family, so that they are probably all ultimately related, but we normally deal with this by having a list, which is what that article is and lists all four people. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:53, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
