Nominator's rationale: Over-categorization: 1 article category Gjs238 (talk) 19:33, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, Canadian-Jews and Canadians in general are conceptually separate groups. Canadian-Jews being a subgroup of both Canadians, but also Jews in general, as Judaism is generally considered an ethno-religion.
Ortizesp (talk) 19:39, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Triple merge to all parent categories so that the article stays in the tree of Canadian-Jewish descent, and nominate the siblings too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:57, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: trvial intersection Mason (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The creator's entire basis for these seems to be that if the person was born at a time when their country was still technically a colony of the United Kingdom rather than a fully independent country in its own right (i.e. any Canadian who was born before 1867, any Australian who was born before 1901, any New Zealander born before 1907, etc.), then they were suddenly somehow citizens of a single transnational polity — but that's not at all how the British Empire worked: even as "colonies", Canada and Australia and New Zealand still existed, still had our own governments, still had our own demonyms for our own people, and on and so forth, and we were never "just British" at all.
    However, I should note that I have previously caught instances of JPL removing Canadians from any "Canadian X" categories, so that they were categorized only as "from the British Empire" or "from British North America" or whatever other sometimes-redlinked and sometimes-misspelled nonsense he was attempting. So some caution is needed to ensure that nobody gets accidentally denationalized by this because JPL had removed the person from an appropriate Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or whatever else category — a person who isn't in any such category should obviously be readded to one, but this category can otherwise just be removed as unnecessary. Bearcat (talk) 11:57, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there anything that can be done to stop @Johnpacklambert from disruptive category creation and removal? Mason (talk) 18:02, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. There was no participation, but the proposal is uncontroversial and technically qualifies for WP:C2D. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WTA-neutral language; follow-up to move discussion. "2001 Indian Wells Open" gets 3,600 ghits, "2001 Indian Wells Masters" 2,300. (hope it's ok to bundle together, inlink should work) Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:54, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Murder in films[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 * Pppery * it has begun... 18:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Murder in films" says in its description that it is for "Films that feature murder as a prominent plot element", which is also what "Films about murder" is. If a film features murder as a prominent plot element, then it is likely about murder, so it should go in "Films about murder", or it isn't about murder and shouldn't go in either category.

  • If not kept, merge to Category:German engineers. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:13, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep & populate Surely there were more than 2. The country existed almost half a century in relatively recent history. The last ones will have died in the early 21st century. NLeeuw (talk) 04:01, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. The creator's entire basis for these seems to be that if the person was born at a time when their country was still technically a colony of the United Kingdom rather than a fully independent country in its own right (i.e. any Canadian who was born before 1867, any Australian who was born before 1901, any New Zealander born before 1907, etc.), then they were suddenly somehow citizens of a single transnational polity — but that's not at all how the British Empire worked: even as "colonies", Canada and Australia and New Zealand still existed, still had our own governments, still had our own demonyms for our own people, and on and so forth, and we were never "just British" at all.
    However, I should note that I have previously caught instances of JPL removing Canadians from any "Canadian X" categories, so that they were categorized only as "from the British Empire" or "from British North America" or whatever other sometimes-redlinked and sometimes-misspelled nonsense he was attempting. So some caution is needed to ensure that nobody gets accidentally denationalized by this because JPL had removed the person from an appropriate Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or whatever else category — a person who isn't in any such category should obviously be readded to one, but this category can otherwise just be removed as unnecessary.

  • Delete per nom. The creator's entire basis for these seems to be that if the person was born at a time when their country was still technically a colony of the United Kingdom rather than a fully independent country in its own right (i.e. any Canadian who was born before 1867, any Australian who was born before 1901, any New Zealander born before 1907, etc.), then they were suddenly somehow citizens of a single transnational polity — but that's not at all how the British Empire worked: even as "colonies", Canada and Australia and New Zealand still existed, still had our own governments, still had our own demonyms for our own people, and on and so forth, and we were never "just British" at all.
    However, I should note that I have previously caught instances of JPL removing Canadians from any "Canadian X" categories, so that they were categorized only as "from the British Empire" or "from British North America" or whatever other sometimes-redlinked and sometimes-misspelled nonsense he was attempting. So some caution is needed to ensure that nobody gets accidentally denationalized by this because JPL had removed the person from an appropriate Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or whatever else category — a person who isn't in any such category should obviously be readded to one, but this category can otherwise just be removed as unnecessary.

Nominator's rationale:

The incidents in this category relate to people targeted for violence for being white, not necessarily because of their European ancestry. One of the victims of the Zebra murders was an Arab immigrant from Jordan who was perceived to be white. I see incidents of people being targeted due to perceived whiteness based on skin color and physical features. I don't see incidents of anybody shooting up an Oktoberfest or the Highland games because of a specifically anti-European agenda. "White" is both broader and more accurate than "European" in this context. I would add that a great many people of color in the US have European ancestry, but would very likely not be targeted by terrorists who specifically attack white-skinned people.

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:26, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the difference between the two pairs of categories is unclear, an explanation on the category page is lacking. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:49, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Prince" is just "prince", there are thousands of them, with a variety of surnames[1]. "Prince of the royal blood" (literally "Prince of the Imperial Blood") is a title specifically for members of the Imperial House of Romanov, great-grandsons of emperors and their descendants, children of grand dukes of Russia. See ru:Князь императорской крови. ONLY Romanovs. Their number is strictly limited, about 30 were born between 1885 and 1917, see list List of Princes of Russia (it should be renamed more accurately). --Shakko (talk) 09:59, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Shakko: this is confusing. "Prince" in English language normally means a male member of the royal or imperial family, so obviously they should all be Romanovs in this case. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:22, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • what can I do? it is the tradition of terms in English language to translate Russian titles for centuries. 1) There is simply "prince" (knyaz) - there were simply a lot of princes in the Russian Empire, all of them are descendants of medieval princes (heads of state) of the period of feudal fragmentation. After the unification of these small principalities into one Tsardom, they retained the title, but not the power (similar to Germany). Their number is countless, exceeding thousands. It's more like Scottish laird, than a prince from a fairy tale (son of a monarch). 2) There is also "Grand Duke" (velikiy knyaz), a title for the children and grandchildren of the emperors of the Russian Empire. Why they were called “dukes” and not “princes” in English is unknown to science, but this has been going on for centuries. Were only about 70 of them from 1721 to 1917[2] 3) And finally, there is the discussed "prince of the royal blood" (knyaz imperatorskoy krovi). These are children and grandchildren of №2. Circa 30[3]. Simply special title like British Princess Royal. Member of Imperial house of Romanov can't be simply "prince" anyway, he should be "Grand Duke" or "prince of the royal blood". This was the hierarchy of titles in the Russian Empire. And I’m not yet telling you about the Russian princes before 1721 (the emergence of the empire), everything is even more complicated there. --Shakko (talk) 16:25, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge is not right. "Prince" (not Imperial) was normal popular title[4]. Also the were counts[5], barons [6] and thousands noble families without titles[7]. But indeed it is up to English wiki, if you wish to not keep them here separated. --Shakko (talk) 08:47, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, trivial intersection between occupation and a short period in which Hamburg was a fully independent state (1806-1871).

The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 18:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT for just one person, on an overly narrow intersection of characteristics. While the proposed merge target is fine, I'm not seeing a compelling reason why one person would need a special "anti-racism activists" subcategory to segregate her from all the other Jewish activists. Bearcat (talk) 05:51, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, very narrow intersection indeed. Initially I thought of a triple merge to all parent categories, but then discarded that idea because the article is not about anti-racism per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: For consistency with related categories, categorization at the level of individual state. Disambiguation, because the Soviet Union has 12 successor states, and it’s wrong to imply that the Russian Federation is the only one that counts by maintaining categories that equate the RF and USSR.  —Michael Z. 17:58, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The request, from Marcocapelle, was the category is not splittable because all subcategories are still in "Russian and Soviet" format. This requires a batch nomination including all subcategories.

  • Support, trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The creator's entire basis for these seems to be that if the person was born at a time when their country was still technically a colony of the United Kingdom rather than a fully independent country in its own right (i.e. any Canadian who was born before 1867, any Australian who was born before 1901, any New Zealander born before 1907, etc.), then they were suddenly somehow citizens of a single transnational polity — but that's not at all how the British Empire worked: even as "colonies", Canada and Australia and New Zealand still existed, still had our own governments, still had our own demonyms for our own people, and on and so forth, and we were never "just British" at all.
    However, I should note that I have previously caught instances of JPL removing Canadians from any "Canadian X" categories, so that they were categorized only as "from the British Empire" or "from British North America" or whatever other sometimes-redlinked and sometimes-misspelled nonsense he was attempting. So some caution is needed to ensure that nobody gets accidentally denationalized by this because JPL had removed the person from an appropriate Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or whatever else category — a person who isn't in any such category should obviously be readded to one, but this category can otherwise just be removed as unnecessary.
