Category:Members of the New York Manumission Society[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: manual merge. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 01:47, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The New York Manumission Society was one of many similar organizations during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As such, being a member of it is non-defining. However, these figures were more broadly known for their abolitionism and should be merged into the city-based category which I recently created. User:Namiba 22:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild support, perhaps manually merge because being an abolitionist does not seem a defining characteristic for all articles in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:17, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Two eponymous small categories for interrelated television series without the volume of spinoff content necessary to warrant eponymous categories. Both of these consist solely of the eponym and an episode list, which is not enough, and even merging them together into one category on the basis of their interrelatedness would still only get the merged category up to four.

The result of the discussion was: split. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 02:07, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:CATSPECIFIC and for consistency with related categories, categorisation at the level of individual states. Disambiguation, because the Soviet Union had 15 successor states, and it’s incorrect to imply that the Russian Federation is the only one that counts by maintaining categories that equate the RF and the USSR. Recommend moving Category:1990s Soviet and Russian fighter aircraft to both target categories because there was some overlap, and recommend moving Category:1910s Russian fighter aircraft along with Category:Soviet fighter aircraft, even though most were developed in and used by Tsarist Russia rather than Soviet Russia. NLeeuw (talk) 21:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • If kept, it should become a container category for the Soviet Union and for Russia. When split, a "see also" note should be added. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I could agree with the latter. NLeeuw (talk) 06:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Deaths from obesity[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) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 02:22, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There's only one person in this category and it seems like the cause of death for said person is disputed. It also seems like death from obesity is much like death from old age, where that is not necessarily the direct cause of one's death, unlike something like heart failure, which is a specific thing that leads to death. Furthermore, it seems like the category could be ill-defined as there is not a precise definition as to if one's death was caused by obesity, as opposed to a more well-defined category that describes the precise medical cause of death.

Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only two subcategories, and it is not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:27, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support it's a Swedish surname (all 3 words together), created by an insignificant, private Swedish club, that a few members of the baronial Bernadotte family have used. It has no connection whatsoever to their legitimate government-decreed Luxembourg titles. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:33, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

:* Alt Propose renaming Category:British pornographic film actors of Indian descent (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:British actors of Indian descent (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Comment, by renaming to Category:British actors of Indian descent there will be more potential for growth. The question is mainly whether this is desirable as a triple intersection. If not, the better-populated sibling categories should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Good point. When I made the nomination, I was mostly focused on the lack of other pornographic actors, that also intersected. I'd support a rename to actors in general. (Arguably that would be bringing the category down from a 4x intersection. actors by type of acting by nationality by ethnicity) Mason (talk) 22:06, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmmm... it looks like this is well trodden ground, where the consensus was that British people by ethnicity and occupation was 'WP:OCEGRS: triple intersection of occupation and nationality and descent is not defining' Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_20#Category:British_people_by_ethnicity_and_occupation Mason (talk) 22:10, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per precedent and the siblings should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
