Template:Epsilonproteobacteria-stub[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 under G8. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:37, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The bacterial class Epsilonproteobacteria has been dismantled and a new phylum erected in its place (see here). A new stub template has been created for this new phylum and placed in the appropriate articles. There is no longer any use for this stub and the expected associated category (Category:Epsilonproteobacteria stubs) does not exist. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 20:34, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm confused. Are you nominating the template for deletion? If so, shouldn't you do that at WP:TFD instead of here? --ItMarki (talk) 11:17, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:West Lusatia[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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, West Lusatia is not a real region and the category mainly contains populated places for which the term West Lusatia is not defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:34, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'm surprised that this has been nominated for deletion. The concept "West Lusatia" or Westlausitz has been around for 70 years and is testified, not just in the literature, but in culture. For example, there is a West Lusatian dialect and a West Lusatian Museum. What is a "real region"? West Lusatia may not be a formal administrative entity, but it appears to be geographically and linguistically quite well defined. Bermicourt (talk) 18:46, 20 April 2022 (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) Qwerfjkltalk 19:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a defining category. Just a mix of people involved in two unrelated things Unbh (talk) 14:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • (strong) Delete "People who have been in an MCU movie and have also been nominated for/won an Oscar" is not a category, let alone a defining one. Even tightening the scope to "people who have been nominated for an Oscar for their work in an MCU movie" is dubious, as it isn't very defining and would presumably be child to Oscar winners/noms and MCU people (if such a category exists; and if it doesn't, indeed sounding too fan-centric as I write this, then a child category certainly shouldn't) - which would somewhat preclude inclusion on all three even though someone can be involved with many MCU films, some they will be nominated for and others not, and can be nominated for Oscars for things other than their MCU contributions, i.e. it would be too much unnecessary category overlap even making the scope more reasonable for a category.
    It's also limited to actors, it seems, which is oddly restrictive and also a massive indicator that it's fancruft created by someone who only knows/cares about the acting groups and how 'good' they are in hardware terms... like some MCU promotion for getting a bunch of Oscar winners? Weird. I would've CfD'd it myself, if it wasn't already. Kingsif (talk) 20:24, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:49, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: By definition, if it's colonial it isn't "state". This is by analogy with rename of people category to Category:People of the Province of New York. Peter Flass (talk) 10:49, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Category:Colonial forts in New York (state) and Category:Colonial architecture in New York (state) should be moved as well. Gonnym (talk) 14:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Iranian clerics[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 to Category:Iranian Islamic religious leaders. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:40, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This would match the rest of Category:Clergy by nationality. But we do have Category:Iranian Shia clerics. I'm not sure what distinction is intended, and my Oxford English Dictionary doesnt really help. I find it hard to see that both terms exist in Farsi, but perhaps I am mistaken. Rathfelder (talk) 12:35, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose, as far as I am aware, (a) "cleric" generally is an outdated term for an ordained religious person (e.g. a priest or imam), but strangely enough this term is still in use for Iranians and the nominated category is exactly about Iranians. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:50, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I dont think adapting to local usage is always helpful. In Scotland, for example, priests are often called "divines", but we havent renamed our categories in line. Rathfelder (talk) 16:56, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support for consistency sake. Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:12, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not suggesting any change to Category:Iranian Shia clerics. There is a parent Category:Shia clerics. The only explanation for the different uses that I can see is that "Clergy" has been thought to imply Christianity, although that is not how Wikipedia uses the term. Rathfelder (talk) 10:14, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Seems like the participants are split between merging to either Category:Islamic religious leaders or Category:Iranian religious leaders. Relisting in hopes this old discussion gets some better outcome than "no consensus".
