Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. Lots of these items are included because of merely passing mentions of Nikola Tesla, and all of them are better represented in the article Nikola Tesla in popular culture. fuzzy510 (talk) 20:17, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Established category naming convention. No difference in content between the two categories. Oddly enough, both categories were created the same day by different users. BirdCities (talk) 20:10, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support having a single category, I don't care what title it's at. Conceptually one could argue for a fine distinction, but I see no such distinction in the sources, and in the vast majority of articles in which this is used the sources are going to use language that doesn't match these titles anyway (prejudice, hate, Islamophobia...) Vanamonde (Talk) 15:48, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - There should be two categories, for the reasons that User:Kautilya3 mentioned above: anti-Islam would denote opposition to the religion itself, while anti-Muslim indicates opposition or discrimination to a group of people. These are conceptually different categories and unless one is being deliberately obtuse, it is not a 'fine' distinction. - 06:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naushervan (talk • contribs) [reply]
  • I used the term "fine distinction" in the context of the specific page, Haridwar hate speeches. In many other pages, the distinction is quite significant.
Most of the literature on "Anti-Islam" or "Islamophobia" is written by western authors in the western context. They are quite oblivious of the rest of the world, and especially South Asia. India has the second largest number of Muslims in the world and Islam has been in India from the time of Prophet Muhammad himself. So the issues there are quite different from those of the West. However, see this source which attempts to deal with the distinctions to some extent:
* Gottschalk, Peter; Greenberg, Gabriel (2018). Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Sentiment: Picturing the Enemy. Rowman & Littlefield. ISBN 978-1-5381-0738-6.
In any case, making Category:Anti-Muslim sentiment the primary category would solve the problem, as far as I can see. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:51, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'd not found the separate Category:Criticism of Islam. OTOH, I'm not convinced that Haridwar hate speeches are Anti-Muslim, but not Anti-Islam. They are not expressing support for the tenets of Islam, merely against their neighbors believing such things. They oppose a/all/any different religion in their community. The name of that religion in this instance is Islam (in English). We'll need to deal with Category:Anti-Muslim violence in India later.

Category:American sportspeople of Asian descent

[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) Qwerfjkltalk 09:38, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT recent proliferation of tiny categories with unusual and irrelevant hierarchical organization. Southwest Asian is already empty, and has been tagged WP:CSD#C1.

  • Go ahead. We're still waiting on a decision about your mass nominations a month or so ago. I've checked the subcategories, they are already in other parents where they should be deleted or merged. I'm working on strategically pruning this useless part of the tree.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Category:American sportspeople of Southwest Asian descent was tagged as a regular CSD C1 since it was empty even though it seems to be included in this nomination (no CFD tag on the page). So, unless something changes, it looks like that category will be deleted before this discussion closes. Liz Read! Talk! 21:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- These are harmless containers and should have that label. I suspect that the SW Asian category is empty because the content has been moved to Middle Eastern. This should perhaps become a cat-redirect. We may need a Central Asian sibling for the ex-Soviet republics there. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep pending a larger nomination and discussion of the tree of Category:East Asian people etc. Simply deleting sportspeople doesn't make sense given that it is a logical derivative of much larger and broader categories.--User:Namiba 15:39, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This argument makes little sense, as this is indeed part of a larger group on nominations, linked below. This effort comprehensively covers the notability of continental/regional descent categories of sportspeople and their racial implications. BTW sportspeople is the only occupation for which such categories exist. It is therefore not pending anything, and keeping only these 5 categories would create a wart.

  • Larger nomination has concluded delete:
  • Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 January 15#Category:Asian sportspeople by ethnic or national origin looks like categorization by “race.”

People of Al-Andalus

[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 all per discussion. Kbdank71 17:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming
original
Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency. The category tree currently contains four different formats: Al-Andalus fooers and fooers of, from and in Al-Andalus. "From" (with the exception of rulers and military personnel) is the default for the Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire and for caliphates. "Of" is sometimes ambiguous, e.g. are historians of Al-Andalus living in Al-Andalus or is Al-Andalus their topic of interest? "Al-Andalus fooers" failed earlier in this discussion. "In" only occurs very rarely. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Asqueladd, Laurel Lodged, and Peterkingiron: pinging participants in previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, Propose selectively keeping some as are and changing others to "Andalusian fooers," based on how other categories in other groups are worded (eg, RC bishops in, Andalusian rabbis, etc.) Rational: Consistency should be kept across those other groups not al-Andalus.Referencer12 (talk) 06:39, 1February 2023 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: delete, as becomes clear from the articles, (West) African mythology is not limited to the state borders of Nigeria. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:33, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
