March 25[edit]

Category:Poems/poetry by decade/century[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/merge and list as agreed below. Although these category names do not match the main articles e.g. 11th century in poetry, they do match the parent hierarchy for literature, e.g. Category:11th-century literature, so I see no reason to delay or alter the implementation from the names given below. – Fayenatic London 20:37, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming or merging: To rename or merge the following categories with articles on poetry by year, as the category title refers to decades but the actual content is for a century. This will also link the categories into literature for the appropriate century (for which there is no link at present; except for the 20th century category). A few "orphan" categories will also be upmerged to the century category, as there are only one or two of these categories for the 11th, 14th and 15th centuries.

Category:Ukrainian sub-ethnic groups[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: merge as soft delete. Although there has been no participation other than the nominator's, the discussion is included in relevant WikiProject alerts, and the category creators were notified and are still active; therefore it appears that there is no reason to oppose the nomination, or delay implementation. – Fayenatic London 21:45, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge, sub-ethnic categories are only used when there is a parent category about an ethnicity, not (like here) as part of a country tree, see Category:Sub-ethnic groups. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

British culture[edit]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This would require a change to WP:CATNAME, see Wikipedia:Category_names#Socio-cultural_topics, which could only be established by a stronger consensus than the discussion below. – Fayenatic London 21:30, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Early medieval crimes[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 21:48, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, mostly just one article per category. A double upmerge (also to year categories) is undesirable because these categories mainly contain biographies (murder victims and occasionally murderers) who do not belong in a year category directly.

  • Merge per nom Too small categories. Dimadick (talk) 10:13, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Certainly merge However, I would question how many of these ought to be directly in a crimes category, since most are "murders", largely political assassinations. Indeed most would be better in a murder victims category (or murderers). For at least one I could not see what was supposed to be the crime. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:03, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
