Nominator's rationale: Journals that publish in more than 1 language are categorized in "multilingual journals". Creating a separate category for each possible language combination ("Croatian-Serbian-Albanian language journals") would be unnecessary and cumbersome.

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:53, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Horizontal merge, cat created this year with a population of a single page that doesn't even identify subject as Ukrainian. Recently there's been a big rash of POV-pushers find-and-replacing "Russian" for "Ukrainian" on random pages in flagrant disregard of established sources (Suprematism was where I personally ran into it the most) and this seems like another textbook case.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:School districts in Minnesota. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a useful way to categorize school districts with both Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota being central cities and differing definitions of which suburbs are more affiliated with which city. More useful category would be Minneapolis-Saint Paul area school districts but I'm not sure if that category is even needed. Eóin (talk) 02:57, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Oppose renaming (as the person who originally created the cat) for the reason LaundryPizza mentioned: not all neurotrauma is brain damage. Many of the articles are about spinal cord or other neural injury (TIL Hand of benediction is a thing). Also I'm not sure it'd be accurate to imply that all brain damage is trauma related, e.g. I don't think you'd call stroke or hypoxia neurotrauma. Also, not all trauma necessarily results in damage, e.g. concussion is a transient loss of function. Rather than changing the cat name, maybe we should correct the implication in brain damage that neurotrauma is a synonym. Maybe neurotrauma needs its own article and then it could be the main article instead. But I'd defer to whatever WP:MED thinks. delldot ∇. 11:23, 19 December 2023 (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: no consensus. No prejudice against renomination. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A non-notable intersection. User:Namiba 21:58, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. African Americans in sport and by extension African-American sportspeople is a very notable intersection , whereas diffusion by century is needed because the category is quiet large. If not kept, it should be merged to it Category:21st-century African-American people and Category:21st-century American sportspeople. Mason (talk) 01:58, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This should be deleted because African-Americans are not a unique, identifiable group in the 21st century as they were for much of the 20th. They're the majority in many sports and filly integrated across the board.--User:Namiba 02:14, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How does this jibe with Wikipedia:EGRS? Mason (talk) 15:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I argue that African-American sportspeople in the 21st century do not "constitute a distinct and identifiable group with a specific cultural and political context" as required by EGRS. That's why African-American basketball players was recently deleted. If anything, European-Americans are a more distinct and identifiable group in certain sports in the US i.e. basketball, track and field, and American football.--User:Namiba 14:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting would remove these people from Category:21st-century African-American people. Please tell me you're not saying that being African-American in the 21st century is not a defining characteristic Mason (talk) 19:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone who is documentably African-American should be recategorized. As discussed regarding the basketball category, a significant number, likely an overwhelming majority of articles, make no claim on ancestry so simply merging them doesn't help this major WP:BLP issue.--User:Namiba 18:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't find this part of the argument compelling. Deleting a category because it isn't explicilty noted doesn't seem like a good practice. Are you going to be doing that recategorization? And how can you only want to do this for 21st century african americans? I don't find the argument compelling either: that black people being in the majority of athletes means that they aren't defining. Wouldn't that argument apply to women in many professions? Should we get rid of 21st-century American women writers, educators etc? Mason (talk) 21:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You think we should include information in articles which is not verifiable? User:Namiba 03:09, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have not answered any of my questions about how this nomination is extremely problematic. Mason (talk) 22:37, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you rephase your questions more clearly? Because honestly, they're difficult to answer as you have posed them. I think I have clearly explained why this category fails WP:EGRS but I will rephrase. 21st-century African-American sportspeople do not "constitute a distinct and identifiable group with a specific cultural and political context." This is what is expected per our guidelines. No sport openly discriminates against African-Americans in the 21st century. The top performers in many sports, both team and individuals, are African-Americans in the present-day. It would be nearly impossible to write an article about the experiences of African-Americans in sports in the 21st century because their ethnicity is not defining to nearly the same extent as it was in previous periods. As such, this category should be deleted.--User:Namiba 20:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that's helpful, and I can see how you could argue that. However, I'm pretty troubled by your snarky response to my question about your category removal of Aquil Abdullah from African American categories. He is pretty clearly sourced as being an african american athlete, yet you removed him and then reverted my post asking about it. I'm trying to understand because you said he didn't have sufficient sourcing for being African American, while I interpret the sentence "He was also the first African-American male to win a rowing national championship in 1996, when he won the single sculls competition.[2]" along with the source to "count" as him being African-American.

As stated above, "This should be deleted because African-Americans are not a unique, identifiable group in the 21st century as they were for much of the 20th." I've also stated " 21st-century African-American sportspeople do not "constitute a distinct and identifiable group with a specific cultural and political context." This is what is expected per our guidelines. No sport openly discriminates against African-Americans in the 21st century. The top performers in many sports, both team and individuals, are African-Americans in the present-day. It would be nearly impossible to write an article about the experiences of African-Americans in sports in the 21st century because their ethnicity is not defining to nearly the same extent as it was in previous periods. As such, this category should be deleted." You can also see the discussion regarding a similar category, Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_2#Category:African-American_basketball_players, which was deleted back in November. The vast majority of articles categorized as being about African-American sportspeople do not have a single claim or source to back them up. The category is added based on a presumption, which fails WP:V and WP:BLP in many cases. I would favor deleting all by-century categories but let's start with the one currently being discussed.--User:Namiba 23:55, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If only because I know this category is unlikely to stay in its current form, then just merge into Category:Fictional characters by behavior. I do not support moving the subcategories to Category:Fictional characters by attribute. AHI-3000 (talk) 08:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only category for American tennis coaches by state, contained five pages, three of whom were not from Indiana (and have been categorized accordingly). Better to merge with the above listed categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcocapelle, @Smasongarrison, do you still support the nom? Qwerfjkltalk 19:07, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Still merge. There are now only 4 pages in the category. I don't think that there's a critical mass for many of these states, like Category:Tennis coaches from Pennsylvania and Category:Tennis coaches from Michigan‎ have even fewer people (1 and 2). Mason (talk) 20:49, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Smasongarrison, @Marcocapelle: there are not as many tennis coaches in general as, say, baseball coaches because there are TYPES of baseball coaches (bullpen, first base, second base, bench, etc.) and, almost always, there only one tennis coach per player at a time.
Indeed quite a few of these coaches are university coaches of other sports who happened to coach one season of college tennis. I was against the creation of these categories and I'd prefer these be deleted entirely. Omnis Scientia (talk) 07:50, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, but that will require a fresh nomination. Shall we first conclude this one? Marcocapelle (talk) 12:18, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle, of course! I am actually waiting for this one to close before I proceed with the others which were created after this one was nominated. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:01, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Dual merge. This underpopulated category doesn't help with navigation. Mason (talk) 23:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just delete, there is only two sentences in the whole article about it, while the article is mainly about the subject's stay in China. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would not oppose deletion, but the alternative is to merge to as category for the successor entities Nyasaland or Malawi. This may be anachronistic, but that hardly matters. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:55, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...And I did the merge in question. - Altenmann >talk 18:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: 1-article category contained in a category containing only this subcategory. Gjs238 (talk) 12:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Category:Novels set in schools and Category:Short stories set in schools; the article in question can also be placed within Category:Children's books set in schools. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:23, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I feel like the current name is unnecessarily long; the new name is analogous to Category:Fictional offspring of rape. Note that neither category has a real-world counterpart, which would violate WP:BLPCAT. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Is this a defining feature? And I have no idea why this is subcategorized under Category:Pop music groups (e.g. 10,000 Maniacs and Screaming Females are hardly "pop music") and Category:Sex segregation (it's quite literally the opposite of that!). Also adding subcategories Category:Male–female musical duos and Category:Mixed-gender musical trios. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:01, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not defining at all. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, clearly defining per the sources in Mixed-gender band, which categorize and classify popular music bands (as opposed to vocal groups) composed of both male and female performers. Mixed-gender bands are, as the sources indicate, a relative historical rarity, with the substantial majority of all bands, ever, having been composed of only male performers. BD2412 T 20:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all, per BD2412 and Mixed-gender band article. Hiddenstranger (talk) 00:38, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, I have removed Category:Sex segregation as a parent category and noticed that someone else reparented this to Category:Musical groups. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:01, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Editors are welcome to improve the category tree. The category is valid irrespective of how it is parented, though. BD2412 T 20:47, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
