Category:Rally racing terminology
- 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. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:19, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Rally racing terminology into Category:Rally racing
- Nominator's rationale: An article such as Co-driver or Zero car is not an article specifically about terminology (a subset of linguistics). In fact, none of the articles currently in the category are about terminology (the article titles may be terminology, but we categorize by topic not by title). DexDor (talk) 22:11, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support per WP:NONDEF, terminology is not a defining characteristic of these articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Category:Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Hong Kong)
- 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 option A. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 04:21, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Propose either:
- or
- Option B: rename Category:Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Hong Kong) to Category:De La Salle Brothers in Hong Kong (and remove parent categs Category:Educational organisations in Hong Kong and Category:Roman Catholic secondary schools in Hong Kong, and also add all the categ's contents to Category:Roman Catholic secondary schools in Hong Kong)
- Nominator's rationale: I had proposed this as a speedy renaming to Category:De La Salle Brothers schools (Hong Kong), as a minimal change per the head article De La Salle Brothers, renamed per WP:RM discussion at Talk:De La Salle_Brothers#Requested_move_21_August_2016. However, the speedy nom raised a number of concerns, and none of the possible solutions fits any of the speedy criteria.
Option A is basically a tidier version of the proposed speedy, retaining this is a category of schools. However, one of the items in the category is a biography, so the alternative is Option B , which makes this a broader category relating to the order in Hong Kong.
I prefer option A, because it causes less category clutter on the articles ... and the one article which doesn't fit is Brigant Cassian, which is already in the sub-cat Category:La Salle College. So if we go for Option A, it can simply be removed from this category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:57, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

- Support Option A – seems simpler. Oculi (talk) 22:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Rename -- preferably Option A. Following discussion as to the Irish "Christian Brothers", we need to rename all Christian Brothers categories, so as to avoid ambiguity. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:50, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Basketball clubs in Angola to Category:Basketball teams in Angola
- Nominator's rationale: Majority of categories use team, rather than club. Rathfelder (talk) 16:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Since all these raise the same issue, I have combined them into one nominations. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- No objection in principle but this should not be automatically applied to all countries, as some will operate as clubs with multiple teams. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support for consistency, to align with categorization of other countries. However, I should note that in the articles the term club is being used. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:47, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small one-county community with just 2 entries....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:00, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Merge for Now With no objection to recreating later if we get up to 5 or so article. With this low of an article count, it just muddles navigation. RevelationDirect (talk) 14:17, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 October 1. – Fayenatic London 21:02, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Arrowverse multiverse ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Arrowverse multiverse ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: There is no functional difference between this and Category:Arrowverse. 24.196.131.249 (talk) 12:44, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Yes there is. The Flash 1990 series is not part of the Arrowverse proper, but rather exists on another earth in its multiverse. The same can currently be said for Supergirl. And it is also possible that more will be revealed regarding these other worlds and how they may include other existing media. So at this time, it is fine to keep. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:33, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Arrowverse. My rule in this is "one franchise: one category". If some items do not properly belong, they should be purged completely, not kept but out on a limb. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- If kept, rename to Category:Arrow (TV series) spin-offs or something like that. This is a TV series category, not a universe category. Also nominate Category:Arrowverse for merger to Category:Arrow (TV series). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Category:American radio DJs

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. As noted, it looks like an WP:ENGVAR issue. I have created a redirect. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:16, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:American radio DJs to Category:American radio presenters
- Nominator's rationale: See Category:Radio presenters. Kanghuitari (talk) 04:43, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:UE. "Presenter", in the sense of a radio or television broadcaster, is a Britishism not normally used in North American English dialects — what the Brits call a presenter, Americans (and Canadians) call a host. Wikipedia policy is to reflect local dialect variations when necessary, even if that causes some variance in the spelling or wording of category names, rather than arbitrarily forcing countries to use terminologies or spellings that would not be recognized in their own normal speech. Further, the problem that led to the creation of this category was that American radio hosts were frequently getting misfiled as Category:American DJs, even though that category is meant for the kind of DJ who is a recording or performing musician (in genres such as EDM, techno or hip hop), not the kind who is a voice on the radio — so this category was created (not by me) in order to reflect the distinction better. Renaming it to Category:American radio hosts (with this kept as a categoryredirect to that) might be suitable, but "American radio presenters" would not be consistent with the usual usage in American English.

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 04:43, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
- The Collar of the Order of the National Coat of Arms is automatically given to the President of Estonia and to no one else. The correct category here is Category:Presidents of Estonia and--look at that--everyone single person in the nominated category is already in that one! - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Note: I notified Quibik as the category creator and added this discussion to WikiProject Estonia. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Background We recently deleted similar automatic awards to monarchs or heads of state here, here, here, here, here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete -- Awards need to be separate from offices. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:55, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- Propose Deleting Category:Order of the Liberator
- Propose Deleting Category:Grand Cordons of the Order of the Liberator
- Propose Deleting Category:Grand Officers of the Order of the Liberator
- Propose Deleting Category:Commanders of the Order of the Liberator
- Propose Deleting Category:Officers of the Order of the Liberator
- Propose Reparenting Category:Recipients of the Order of the Liberator to be under Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Venezuela to avoid orphaning the one remaining category in this tree.
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
- When foreign heads of state visit Venezuela, they receive one of these souvenirs from the government as part of the official welcome. I don't see how Albert I of Belgium, Queen Sofía of Spain, and American Vice Admiral Alfred Johnson are defined by a Venezuelan award. Of the 14 people in this four subcategories, zero are from Venezuela. (I don't think the remaining category is defining either but I'll nominate it later since it contains some actual Venezuelans.) To see the category clutter created by awards for visiting dignitaries, look at this mess. If we delete this category, the recipients will still be listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:21, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Note: The notified Asalrifai as the primary category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Venezuela. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:21, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete -- Though this is a national award, we need to apply OCAWARD boldly. It may be legitimate to list the awards in a bio-article, but looking at Prince Henry of Prussia (1862–1929), I cannot even see what he did to merit the award. The list is legitimate; the category is not. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
