Category:Films released by the Criterion Collection[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) DannyS712 (talk) 00:18, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per discussion from a similar category in the past(see Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_January_16#Category:Criterion_Collection) over 10(!) years ago. Although I admire the brand and everything it involves, the category is pretty much promotional for material for the Criterion Collection, its not the same as studio producing and developing films on their own. Basically, it's the same reason we don't have the category for Oprah's Book Club, etc. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:06, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I created the category just earlier, and wasn't aware of the 2006 discussion until just now. Those who supported its deletion back then made some fair points. Personally I think it's a bit of a shame, as I find the category format to be far more navigable than the current list article for Criterion Collection releases, but the line must be drawn in the sand somewhere. –Matthew - (talk) 17:16, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I personally do agree with my own personal use for the category, but even the list of criterion releases has been nominated for deletion once. I just figured I'd nominate it before you invest too much energy into it. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per previous discussions. I understand your point MH (and I own several hundred of their titles) but WP:CATDEF comes into play as a CC release is not a defining characteristic of the original film(s). I do wish the list article hadn't become so unwieldy but this CFD is not about that. MarnetteD|Talk 18:25, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and the above comments. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 20:39, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category: American trade unionists of German 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. MER-C 05:55, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Category:American trade unionists of German descent
  • Nominator's rationale In general we have gotten rid of almost all intersection categorizes between specific Euro-American descents and occupations. I see no compelling reason to categorize by this overlap. In this case all three articles are currently in Category:German emigrants to the United States so a straight upmerge would only lead to category clutter.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:50, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and populate this and siblings -- This ought to be dealt with as part of a wider discussion of Category:American trade unionists by ethnic or national origin, where the Afro-Americans, Italians, and Irish are well-populated; 6 Polish; and most of the rest under 5. Would such a category be useful to someone researching American trades-unionism? I recall that Carnegie's United Steel recruited immigrants from a succession of European countries to break strikes by his previous workforce. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom - I'm not a fan of the WP:OVERCATEGORISATION that some like, and for this kind of thing we have intersection tools. More generally, the whole "descent" thing can be hard to source reliably, and it's debatable how relevant somebody's great-grandfather is to their activities today. Also the whole concept of "Germany" is kinda fluid before the 20th century, Carnegie's strike-breakers were not born in Germany as we know it.Le Deluge (talk) 19:19, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment intersection categories of these types need to stand or fall on their own. That for some other anceestry/ethnicity this is a notable intersection does not have any bearing on this. The question is can you create an article American trade unionists of German descent that is more than just a list?John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:53, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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) DannyS712 (talk) 00:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This had already been deleted (as empty) by the time this discussion took place in 2018. Had it existed at the time, it would have been deleted for the same reasons as the other sub-categories of Category:Order of the Crown of Thailand. Those reasons are clearly laid out in the previous discussion, so I'm not going to rehash them here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (as nominator of previous discussion). I'd meant to wait for the G4s to be carried out before nominating this category; thanks for taking care of it. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:54, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The organization of this category is crap. Split the subcategories into two main subcategories Category:Entertainment websites by topic and Category:Entertainment websites by nationality with the existing subcategories inside them. Do not delete this category itself. JIP | Talk 12:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: only 1 article Rathfelder (talk) 12:07, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:30, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - While I have nominated more than a few tiny categories for deletion, there are exceptions to the general rule. Consider the following, quoting directly from the article itself: The blog (Native Appropriations) is "maintained by Cherokee Nation scholar Adrienne Keene" who "observes that Native Americans are barely represented in mainstream media..." Readers browsing either of the parent cats would have no way of knowing from the article's title that it is a Native American blog. The least we can do is facilitate that by keeping this category. Anomalous+0 (talk) 12:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If they're looking in that category, they won't know it's a blog. And if they're looking in the category for American blogs, they won't know it's Native American. Anomalous+0 (talk) 11:29, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2D The main article has been renamed to match with the disambiguator used by most others in the series.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  00:30, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question, the header of the main article suggests this is outdated classifiication. So should we keep the category? Marcocapelle (talk) 03:54, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
