Nominator's rationale: The state's name is plural in the islands Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:33, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support - though while the state's name is "Cook Islands", the demonymic adjective is "Cook Island", as is the case with several such island groups. Grutness...wha? 01:06, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The standard format for people from the Cook Islands is "Cook Island FOOs". See Category:Cook Island people and subcategories. Why are these categories from that Category:Cook Island people tree being singled out? Additionally, this tree should not be treated any differently than any other nationality tree. And why is the nominator pre-emptively changing a nominated category from a by-nationality category to a by-country one? Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:27, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's not at all clear that the original purpose was nationality rather than state. As a quasi-dependency of New Zealand, I'm not even sure that the Cook Islands is a state. I don't think that it has is a UN member. Most entries in the nominated categories are for people who work in the state as opposed to people who are natives of the state. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Cook Islands is a state. It's what's called an "associated state" – associated with New Zealand. It is not a member of the UN but conducts its own foreign relations and has joined various UN organizations. Cook Islanders are New Zealand citizens but they have their own nationality. I created the category Category:Cook Island religious leaders, so I can say with confidence that the original intent was to create a nationality category.

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 to Category:Stories within Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio noting this follows the recent move of the main page per requested move of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. (non-admin closure) 2pou (talk) 16:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Strange Tales is definitely the more commonly-used translation as a cursory search would show. Also would like the parent category to be renamed too. Thank you Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:43, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:00, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All lived long before Belgium was established, and most were from the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. Will need a bit of purging if this is agreed. Rathfelder (talk) 10:27, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are Chroniclers sufficiently distinct from Category:Medieval historians to warrant a seperate category? Rathfelder (talk) 17:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is useful enough to distinguish them from other medieval chroniclers, and dispersing them in all the feudal states that then constituted present-day Belgium would not be useful. They belong in Belgian history so Belgian is not anachronistic. Place Clichy (talk) 09:53, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment everything you said is correct, as far as it goes, but is not quite the topic at hand. This isn't about whether their their work is "part of Belgium's history" (i.e. the precoditions and causes behind modern Belgium), it certainly is. It's about the fact that we primarily categorize people by citizenship (or subjectivity in monarchies), and there wasn't a Belgium to be a subject of at the time.
    --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 19:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    We primarily categorize people by nationality, not citizenship. What we are meeting here is the usual petty contradiction between historical logic and geographical logic in the organization of categories. States of the past may have changed, and it is sometimes hard to consider if an entirely new nation-state is created when a new regime with a new name replaces a former one: some contributors here, for instance, would consider the French Fifth Republic, or the United Kingdom, or the Federal Republic of Germany, as entirely new countries different from the French Fourth Republic, the Kingdom of Great Britain, or Third Reich Germany. While we can probably agree that the Kingdom of Belgium was established in 1830, it is very debatable that there was no Belgian nation before that. Nation-building is a long process which in this case prominently involves the culturally and economically brilliant medieval and Renaissance periods of Flanders and Brabant under Burgundian and Habsburg overlordship, the rift created with the Northern provinces at the time of the Reformation etc. The name Belgium and related names have been used in English and other languages from the 16th century for the southern regions of the Low Countries, not to mention of course Roman Gallia Belgica. On the contrary, citizenship in the many counties and fiefs and principalities that formed the Holy Roman Empire is hardly defining, was sometimes changing for individuals that moved between states (you did not have to go very far) and would be a very bad base for categorizing individuals of the early modern period. I therefore consider that using Belgian is not anachronistic at all for people from present-day Belgium before 1830, no more than Italian or German for people before the unification of these countries. Of course, there are also people (mostly Flemish nationalists) who do not consider that a Belgian nation exists even today, but that is another issue. Place Clichy (talk) 15:46, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Place Clichy. --Just N. (talk) 06:48, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is applying Belgian in an ahistorical way and falsely given the impression that modern boundaries control the past in ways we should not imply.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:20, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I doubt if the term Belgian was used in the 13th century. Most of these people described as Flemish. Should we call the category Flemish chroniclers?
    I doubt just as equally that the word Flemish was used in the 13th century. The word Flanders was certainly used, even though not with the meaning given to it today. Anyway, the very concept of nationality is pretty fuzzy when applied to the 13th century. Place Clichy (talk) 07:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Walloon writers[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: split between Category:Belgian writers in Walloon and Category:Belgian writers in French. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:02, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Pretty much the same thing. Rathfelder (talk) 10:13, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Walloon language is a dialect that not all Walloon writers use (many write standard French). --10:47, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Disperse, if sources confirm they write in Walloon then they belong in Category:Belgian writers in Wallon (which is proposed to be speedily renamed to Category:Belgian writers in Walloon), otherwise they should go to Category:Belgian writers in French. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:57, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some of the articles say the people wrote in French, some in Walloon and some dont specify either. So as it stands the category doesnt work. It could, of course, be intended as a purely geographical category, but I think that would just be a source of confusion, so I think we should go with Marcocapelle - purge it and then delete it. Rathfelder (talk) 16:30, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disperse per Marcocapelle. If the articles don't specify either some time-consuming extra recherche might be necessary if not even the French Wp article can help. --Just N. (talk) 06:22, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment We do not categorize writers by where they write, so I do not think we should have Category:Belgian writers in Walloon. Physical location of writing is not defining.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/ merge applicable contents to Category:Belgian writers in French. The location where writing is done is not defining, and it seems that people do not think this is a doable ethnic designation, so we should go for the clear and definable language one. For the record I also think that we should scrap all the singers by language categories. Singing in a language can be done with very little or even in some cases no actual understanding of the language. There are people who learn to pronounce Italian enough that they can sing operas, but have no idea what the words they produce actually mean. On the other hand writing requires a deep familiarity with the languae and so is defining. Which is why few people are in more than 2 by language written categories, but I can quickly find people in 5 or more by language sung categories. So I really think the latter are non-defining and should be deleted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:26, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People who died in Fort Breendonk[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 Category:People who died in Breendonk concentration camp to Category:People who died in Fort Breendonk. Note that we still have Category:Breendonk concentration camp, Category:Breendonk concentration camp prisoners‎, Category:Breendonk concentration camp survivors‎, and Category:Breendonk concentration camp personnel‎ , so a follow-up nomination may be in order. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:25, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These seem to be the same place, Fort Breendonk. Rathfelder (talk) 09:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Category should be "Fort Breendonk" – the Germans used it as a prison but it wasn't strictly a concentration camp. --10:49, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Support merge to People who died in Fort Breendonk. As noted above, it was a prison rather than a concentration camp. —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:09, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or reverse merge, the two categories serve the same purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:01, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm perfectly happy with the reverse merge. Rathfelder (talk) 16:23, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Preferably reverse merge Peterkingiron (talk) 17:44, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd prefer merging to Category:People who died in Breendonk concentration camp. That 'prison' was de facto a concentration camp! The Nazi party just prefered to do the murderous part without any posiible observation by foreign people like the Dutch. -- Just N. (talk) 06:30, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategories of Category:Paintings by 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: rename to "Paintings in the collection of FOO". (On whether to add "the" before FOO, a point not discussed, I have just kept what already existed in the nominated categories). For some, the new name might be problematically repetitive: there are some that are worded "Paintings in the collection of the FOO Collection". But I'll leave this issue alone and anyone can follow up on it with a new nomination if they desire. Perhaps it is not a problem at all. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:33, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Following on from this nomination in which Category:Paintings of the Louvre was changed to Category:Paintings in the Louvre, and this one in which the same pattern was applied to its subcategories, I propose changing all instances of "Paintings of" a museum, etc., to "Paintings in" the same. This is less ambiguous than the current phrasing, which can be read as meaning that the paintings are depictions of the buildings themselves. There is currently a mix of both styles at Category:Paintings by collection, and it would be best to standardize to the least ambiguous one. The equivalent Commons categories invariably use "in", not "of". Ham II (talk) 12:09, 15 May 2021 (UTC) NB: The link to the second CfD discussion was previously a duplicate of the link to the first; now corrected. Ham II (talk) 06:37, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ham II, "of" is no better or worse than "in", which may short for "in the collection of", but can be read as "in the building". There is no such ambiguity with "of". Works can be on (long term) loans or in a different location. Work can be "in" the museum, but not be part of the collections, etc. "of" can be understood to mean that a painting depicts the museum building. Vexations (talk) 14:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alt rename to "Painting collection of". The points in this and the previous discussion are legitimate: "Paintings of the Louvre" is ambiguous and could constitute paintings of the Louvre building. "Paintings in the Louvre" does not account for whether the paintings are indeed physically inside the Louvre building. The best compromise is slightly more specificity, that the defining trait is their belonging to the "Painting collection of the Louvre".

    @Czar: Paintings in the collection of is more often used in sources; see this ngram. I would be strongly opposed to using this kind of phrasing for the museums which already have the word "collection" in their name; Paintings in the Frick Collection is far better than Painting collection of the Frick Collection or Paintings in the collection of the Frick Collection. Ham II (talk) 06:37, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, I'd support making an exception for those. As for "Painting collection" vs. "Paintings in the collection", no strong feelings. I'm not surprised that the latter has more ngram hits because it is a natural phrase. If others are fine with the extra wordiness, works for me. Otherwise I err towards concision as long as the meaning is clear. czar 06:48, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    An advantage of "in the collection of" is that subcategories of these categories could be made consistent with their parents without becoming very clunky: "Paintings by Sandro Botticelli in the collection of the Uffizi" is much better than "Sandro Botticelli painting collection of the Uffizi" or "Botticelli painting collection of the Uffizi". Ham II (talk) 16:11, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, per previous discussion. "In" is greatly superior to "of" - it removes any ambiguity as to whether the painting is of a specific subject or in a location.Grutness...wha? 06:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Paintings in the collection of per HamII, in any case this should be plural 'Paintings' both for accuracy and appearance. 'Painting' sounds as if the crew is repainting the walls. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:23, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Grutness, Sean Stephens, Kevlar, and Justus Nussbaum: What do you think of the alt rename "Paintings in the collection of [...]", as that suggestion was made after your posts? Ham II (talk) 18:01, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think that's a decent alternative, but I personally still prefer Czar's suggestion (it's a lot more concise and explains the category in less words). Sean Stephens (talk) 23:48, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sounds good to me - and I prefer it to Czar's suggestion, as it is better grammatically and easier to make it consistent with other categories (see Ham II's comments). Grutness...wha? 02:23, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NOTDEFINING. Arbitrary characteristic that has no bearing on the film's eventual reputation; not all of these films were so fondly remembered after they eventually came out. We don't categorize based on the hype films receive prior to release, especially since it rarely carries over to its post-release reputation. It also does not dictate anything intrinsic to the films themselves; it has less to do with the movies themselves and more to do with audience's reactions to them. In other words, it's not about something internal to the topic, but something external to it, which we do not categorize for. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 02:21, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The Black List (survey) feels similar to a WP:TOPTEN list. Even if it were defining to the original screenplay, our articles are generally about the final films. - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:31, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This category provides much more usefulness to film interested users than a lot of other categories about galas and celebs. It is definitely defining, and not only for the original screenplays, marking the quality aspect instead of the cinema box office aspect. And certainly I do not consent to all those airy-fairy musings (citation: "it's not about something internal to the topic, but something external to it". That's wrong, that sounds IMHO like careless talking. "which we do not categorize for". We? That statement seems more a very subjective personal point of view. It is not at all grounded. The business aspect (popularity = cash flow) is not all we have to notice but the media studies user also wants the other sides (aesthetics, relation to life reality, etc). Black List points to that. And I'm not talking about vague musing like "feels similar to". --Just N. (talk) 08:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not defining, it is a list generated from criteria maintained by an organization external to the conception, production, and distribution of the films mentioned therein. Find any random movie article and show me its placement in categories that are not concerned with any of those things. That "careless talking" stands thus far without an adequate rebuttal, and "that's wrong" is a WP:NOREASON rationale. "We" have long categorized based on what actually forms the topic of an article; this is not my view, this is the view of the community. This was agreed upon long ago, and is not up to any of us here anymore. The Black List was not involved in any film's production and ultimately had no bearing on the things defining to each film's existence. It does attempt to vouch for why anyone should care about certain films, but in that case it is doing no more than Wikipedia does, and nothing we do here is defining to the topic either. There are many interconnected topics within the realm of media studies; some categories do allow for examination of connections the way you describe, but that is emphatically not the point of categories. That is more the rationale for "See also" sections, which have their own set of restrictions. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 02:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The opposition is an example of WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS: films should be judged more by quality and less by cash flow, hence our categories should reflect quality. Even so, a screenplay in the Black List is a very indirect measure of quality. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not to mention it's done before the film is even produced, and screenplays change during production all the time for myriad reasons. It would be like if we passed an article as being Good before ti even existed just because some editors put together decent suggestions for it. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 01:57, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm still not convinced and stay with keep. Black list as an organization external to the conception, production, and distribution of the films sounds perfect: so they take no interest in cash flow generating PR. Just as I stated and you still misunderstand: this organisation is sth like an independent critics' organisation. Media studies people and film critics are always interested to get infos about directors /screenwriters w/o having to dig deep and time-consumingly. Wikipedia is valuable to them for reasons /hints like this. --Just N. (talk) 18:32, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • And as I said before, helping them with that is flatly not our job. If they want, they can go directly to the source, i.e. wherever this Black List is published. Wikipedia is not the only place where ideas come together to be browsed at the same time, so will not be the only resource used in media studies. And with that, I believe I have made my final rebuttal. Think what you will. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 02:24, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. When I saw this I thought it was related to the Hollywood blacklist. Per WP:CLNT, the common feature shared between this films is a good topic for a list (for which the main article does just fine) but is not defining for a category. Considering that this appreciation of the screenplay (which is in fact intrinsically biased) is a defining characteristic of the film is probably giving too much importance to screenplay. Excellent screenplays make terrible movies and vice versa. M*A*S*H comes to mind as a film for which, according to director Robert Altman, so many liberties were taken with the screenplay that the film ended up winning the Academy Award for best screenplay.

Category:Former Hello! Project members[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: selective merge and delete. (I checked which pages needed merging using WP:PetScan.) – Fayenatic London 09:12, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OC generally
Hello! Project is a J-pop musical ensemble group selected through a reality TV show and the association seems defining to these young Japanese women. But we don't typically categorize by current/former band membership because the distinction is not defining and it creates a maintenance issue. For instance, we don't have Category:Former Menudo (band) members or Category:The Beatles former members. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:00, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge per nominator, and per precedent for literally every other musical group we have member categories for. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 02:34, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's a fair observation that no loose articles are in the target category so I went through the first 10 articles: 5 were in some other Hello! Project while 5 are not (not counting the Category:Hello! Project stubs). - RevelationDirect (talk)

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 14:34, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OC generally
Being a member of the Wikimedia Board appears defining to the articles but we don't typically categorize by current/expired terms of office because the distinction is not defining and it creates a maintenance issue. For instance, we don't have Category:Former mayors of London and there are no other "former" subcategories of Category:Trustees of educational establishments. This tree works best when the leaving/expulsion is defining, not routine expiration of terms of office. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:00, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'd see it as a useful information for our users to get the 'former' at first sight. And it's a very limited number of persons so not much of a maintenance issue. OTOH I wouldn't tear my hairs out if a majority would decide to merge it. --Just N. (talk) 08:28, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • In this case it ís a limited number of persons, but other categories may follow with more persons. I would rather not encourage that. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:06, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hey, it's the WMF and for that reason of natural interest for all Wikpedians. Important to know which person just was or still is in the board. Don't think your vague warning is reasoned: no big numbers to be expected. --Just N. (talk) 18:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Of natural interest to X" smacks of WP:ILIKEIT. At present this is not how we categorize past membership in any group of any sort. We shouldn't make an exception for groups with direct relation to the encyclopedia itself (it reeks heavily of conflict of interest). Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 03:26, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Invariably the category currently named for "former" members will continue to grow, while the category implicitly only for current members will never exceed a certain size and will always experience considerable turnover. For all group member category schemes I have witnessed here on Wikipedia thus far (politicians, sports teams, musical groups, to name but a few), and as I said in the discussion directly above this one, the general idea is, "Once a member, always a member." Many categories, e.g. Living people, will necessarily evolve and remain fluid over time, but we should minimize that as much as possible to maintain the usefulness of our categorization schemes. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 02:35, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bringing forward three arguments: What an unreasonable exaggeration (citation: "will always experience considerable turnover". Those people are elected every few years anew, in rare cases somebody retreats for health or familial reasons and has to be replaced. What a "considerable" inflated amount of maintenance! Another aspect: isn't it desirable to refresh now and then your knowledge about which personalities are actually NOW active in that board? And 3rd: certainly a merged category which comprehends lots of has-been persons is nearly useless (except for historians naturally) for most of the users/wikipedians. --Just N.
