Ethnicity categories[edit]

Category:Finnish-Swedish people[edit]
Category:Australian-Brazilians[edit]
Category:Serbian Germans[edit]
Category:Jewish-Frenches[edit]
Category:Italian-Irishes[edit]

All five above cats are the work of User:Jcaragonv who appears to be on a mission to create empty and/or misnamed "ethnicity" cats of every conceivable combination - see several other entries from the last few days. I have only nominated those that are empty or those that are named in something that is not quite English to minimise debates about usefulness, but if this proposal is successful I am minded to list some more which have only one or two articles and are wilfully obscure. Valiantis 23:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a further two cats to the top of the list which are not only empty but also orphaned. Valiantis 23:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all We really do not want pages and pages and pages of categeories for ethnicity. Someone being from an ethnicity isn't notable enough for him to be on wikipedia. If he is a scientist, place him in the respective science category. --Cat out 11:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kurdish provinces[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Merge with Category:Kurdistan. 4 Merge votes, 6 delete votes, 1 keep. Merge chosen because in terms of creation and deletion of categories (i.e. actual admin intervention) there is no difference. The only practical difference is the items currently in Kurdish provinces will be in Kurdistan category. Anyone may remove any articles from that category afterwards if they disagree with them being there. Tim! 16:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wikipedia is not a soapbox or a battleground. Hattusili 20:39, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also it is not right to call the cities in turkey where people from variable ethnicities live as Kurdish cities.--Hattusili 20:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


If I get it right, the entire process of tagging various localities&regions under Category: Kurdish provinces and Category: Kurdish cities had been initiated by a possible sockpuppet. [1] --Cretanforever 08:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Category:Kurdistan. Clearly some or all of the provinces do fall into the remit of that somewhat nebulous cat which recently survived a delete vote IIRC. Some of these provinces are already listed in Category:Kurdistan. Listing provinces from four different countries in the same cat is misleading as provinces will be defined differently in each country. Valiantis 22:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only option possible is an article with a list, in the same vein as List of U.S. cities with Hispanic majority populations, which can then be discussed in the frame of that article/list. Otherwise it would pave the way for loose and wild categories such as Category:Hispanic cities. Delete Category:Kurdish cities as well! --Cretanforever 16:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don´t seem any wrong with the Categeory:Kurdish cities and Category:Kurdish provinces. You can´t take the Us-hispanic as an exemple and compare it with the Kurdish one, that´s crazy. OtrO DiAOtrO DiA 00:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Why not? Hispanics are an ethnic minority too. Whats so special about Kurds that makes them "better" from Hispanics? --Cat out 11:13, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Delete per my nomination.Delete Category:Kurdish cities as well! --Hattusili 11:07, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Valiantis. "Kurdish provinces" doesn't have a clear meaning (presumably it means administrative provinces in a range of countries that are in some broad sense identifiable as Kurdish in culture, language, or politics?) but this is the sort of thing that is better listified and well-referenced. Cretanforever is very close to the mark with "Hispanic cities" - there may be no mainstream Hispanic-independence movement but it is still a near exact analogy (whether or not there is a Fooian independence movement shouldn't change whether "Fooian cities/province etc" is a meaningful category), so I don't see what's crazy about it. A better analogy would be "Tutsi villages" which can be found in many countries in Africa; again, that would be better listified since it would be then possible to see exactly why the village is being described that way (e.g. by % of population, or historical links) and what the sources behind the claim are. The same would apply here - it would be possible make a "List of provinces that have been described as Kurdish" or "List of province with a Kurdish majority population" or "List of historically Kurdish provinces" and make them well-referenced and NPOV. I'm not convinced that the same can be done with this category. I would be happy to get rid of the Kurdish cities category too, but it needs to be nominated before anyone can vote on it! TheGrappler 00:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    The category is used to mark provinces of todays Turkey, Iraq, Iran etc. So "historic" isnt the case. Also we have no census data establishing how many kurds are, let alone establish where they have a "majority population". Exactly who determines which city is kurdish and which one isnt? Also, we do not tag provinces based on ethnicity anywhere. --Cat out 11:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I nominated Category: Kurdish cities for deletion as well. Also, see remark on top --Cretanforever 08:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Valiantis. Lapaz 02:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Please join the discussion of Kurdish categorization at Category talk:Kurdistan (and Talk:Batman, Turkey) --Moby 09:58, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the right place for discussion is here. --Cretanforever 08:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well there are already on-going discussions about the whole issue, including the possibility of sub cats. This discussion is about a specific CFD. (speaking of which, could you please finish the process you started here) --Moby 09:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes and the person creating this and similar templates and categories is not honoring the discussion. --Cat out 20:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Category:Kurdistan or revise sub cat scheme. --Moby 09:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As per Cretanforever. Also, can someone explain me what the point of this category is? The category has provinces from 3 different countries which implies that all three provinces belong to some sort of common political body. If so I'd like that to be cited but last time I checked Kurds in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria etc have not broken off from their respective countries. Furthermore nowhere else do we mark provinces based on ethnicity. We do not mark Texas as a red state either. I also believe Category:Kurdish cities is highly unnecesary and perhaps should be deleted as well. --Cat out 10:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per norm -- - K a s h Talk | email 17:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I don't mind Category:Kurdistan, but these two new ones are pushing it. —Khoikhoi 22:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Delete per nomination, there is already a Category:Kurdistan. --ManiF 22:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These set of categories has hardly got going, but it does have potential as there are Ancient Greek sites in 10+ modern countries. However, they need clearer names:

Only three articles. Merge into the much larger category. Bhoeble 16:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

  • Comment This further demonstrates the inadequacy of Category:Anti-war activists as the three people in this group are Elizabeth Dilling, an American anti-semite opposed to US involvement in WW2, Ivan Supek, a Croatian physicist who campaigned against nuclear weapons (who apparently fought against the wartime Croatian fascist government), and Gordon Wilson who spoke out against both Republican and Loyalist violence in Northern Ireland, which the majority of people would not, I suspect, describe as a war.

There's been some movement in Mars cat names recently and this seems a sensible change as well. Mars nomenclature includes "valles" and "chasma(ta)". They naturally overlap and the category should include both. Marskell 15:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I mistakenly created Category:Nature-related lists when I really meant to elevate Category:Nature lists to be directly under Category:Lists (partly because Category:Nature isn't under anything but Category:Fundamental). But since the list should be of the form x-related lists anyway, this might as well be a merge. JeffW 04:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete....but I say that with a slightly heavy heart - only because I think I really like the idea of "attactions" as a word. :) ExRat 21:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Attaction, n. v.
1. n. (as elision of "at action") First used to describe the state of active editors on Wikipedia (q.v.); now used generally as a synonym for "active", "in action", etc.
2. n. v. The state of being attracted to something as if tacked to it; often used with overtones of being addicted (e.g. "I'm still attacted to Wikipedia" or "He never overcame his Wikipedia attaction").
