Category:Croatian jazz

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. bibliomaniac15 06:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This seems like it would make sense if there were an article on Croatian jazz. The only content is Category:Croatian jazz musicians, which I don't think is for musicians who play Croatian jazz but jazz musicians who are Croatian.

  • Comment -- The parent is a container, which should only contain categories of this kind. There are at least half a dozen similar categories where a national category only has a single entry. We should change all or none. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:47, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree as most, if not all, of those categories you refer to were created by a prolific overcategorizer. I'd like to get a precedent started here about a need for a category such as this for a type of jazz that doesn't exist as opposed to something like Brazilian jazz or Finnish jazz. If these are preferred to keep as container cats, I'm fine with that. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:26, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Nearly all of the people in this list are simply linguists; those who are not are better defined by other things (dialect coaches, etc.). This isn't really a cohesive category, and there isn't a significant divide between 'linguists' and 'linguistics educators' MalignantMouse (talk) 17:38, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, simulation requires modeling anyway, so the scope of this category is not any different from its parent. The article Modeling and simulation gives the impression that "M&S" is a buzzword specifically in engineering, but still for categorization that does not help much.

  • I'm still inclined to go with the merge as originally described by nominator. Originally these were all within the category “Television stations in Palm Springs, California”. Many of the stations listed are not in Palm Springs, and are as far away as Indio, which is a much bigger city than Palm Springs. I created a separate category for “Television stations in the Coachella Valley”, and moved the stations not actually in Palm Springs to the Coachella Valley category. Although Marcocapelle makes a reasonable point that other categories are organized by city, taking that approach leaves many California television stations outside of any sub category. Perhaps a better approach would be to organize television stations by county, but that would be a major change in the way US television stations are categorized.

    @OvertAnalyzer: What Mvcg's incremental changes (if you look at his CfD nominations, a bunch of these are of this type) is to aggregate city categories to the media market level where there may be multiple cities, e.g. Category:Television stations in Hampton Roads. This is probably the appropriate level of categorization. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:52, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
