Mayors in Utrecht (province)

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:24, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one, two or three articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:43, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Suburbs in Colombo District

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. MER-C 19:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer, Colombo District mainly consists of the city of Colombo, so this category can't contain anything else but Category:Suburbs of Colombo. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:39, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Politicians by regional unit of Greece

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The rest of Category:People by regional unit in Greece is purely geographical. Hard to see why we want to separate out politicians from different levels of geographical divisions. None of the articles in, for example Category:People from Piraeus (regional unit) contains any reference to the regional unit, which of course did not exist when they were born. See discussion below of Category:Politicians by second-level administrative country subdivision
Nominator's rationale: contains only 2 sub categories. Not enough articles about Greek politicians to populate many more. The rest of Category:People by administrative region in Greece contains only geographical categories. Rathfelder (talk) 21:00, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Clans of Hao

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. — JJMC89(T·C) 04:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Newly created category with sinigle entry. The linked article does not mention Hao in the text so unclear what is about. No Clans of Hao article. Hao is a dab page with no entry for a clan noq (talk) 11:38, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep hao is a term mainly used by Meitei to mean the various tribes.But in fact many research finding shows Meitei community itself included among the term hao.

Category:Destroyed landmarks in Croatia

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. MER-C 19:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A pure container category, per other recent CSDs "landmark" is subjective and shouldn't be used, and the sub-cats are already properly sub-catted elsewhere. SportingFlyer T·C 20:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete as WP:NONDEF. User:Namiba 20:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you give some examples of articles where you think it's a defining characteristic? In the sample of articles I looked at (e.g. Etika) it isn't. DexDor (talk) 06:30, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well to pick at random one case Murder of Rashawn Brazell (so not technically an article on a person at all) shows that Mr. Brazell's dismembered body was found the same month he went missing. So it seems like we have used the guideline that you were officially reported missing and then found dead. Since you can be officially reported missing after only 24-hours in some cases, many of these cases will mainly be thought of as murders, not as missing person cases turned to murders.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:53, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animated television series featuring female protagonists

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Convert Category:Animated television series featuring female protagonists to article List of animated television series featuring female protagonists
Nominator's rationale: Listify or Delete: As discussed at this CfD, the use of terms such as protagonist and antagonist has been contentious in the past, to the point that WP:PROTAGONIST was created as a way of addressing original research concerns. Converting this category into a list will allow sources to be provided clearly establishing that the television series belongs as a member of the list.

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:30, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename per current convention, to make more clear that this category is for films where the yakuza play a significant role, versus incidental appearances. DonIago (talk) 19:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC) Withdrawing per Dimadick's argument below. DonIago (talk) 02:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Poisonous plants

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. MER-C 19:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Whether something is poisonous (can be fatal or extreme irritant to humans) depends upon how it is prepared, the amount consumed, how vulnerable the human is etc. Hence, it's not a good characteristic to categorize by.  In some if the articles in the category (e.g. Agave) there is little/no mention of the plant being poisonous.  Note: there is List of poisonous plants.  See previous CFDs e.g. minerals and fish.

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 19:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD, no corresponding article for Korea Image Award or similar, no indication of notability and there's no mention of the award in the main text of several of the included articles. Le Deluge (talk) 18:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:People of the Russian Empire, etc, but using "from" rather than "of" for historians, geographers, geologists and emigrants per siblings. – Fayenatic London 13:42, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think "X of the Russian Empire" is the more idiomatic phrasing for these categories, but either outcome is an improvement so happy to support either. SFB 11:08, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't have a strong view on this, but it either needs to be moved into the Category:20th-century disease outbreaks hierarchy, renamed to Category:Diseases associated with warfare or similar - or just deleted as a WP:SMALLCAT.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:39, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This intermediate category appears only to work for the USA. I cant see why we need to keep Category:County officers in the United States in a third level subcategory. In other places administrative levels dont seem to be used in the same way. Rathfelder (talk) 13:39, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 15:05, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Since the completion of Endemol Shine Group in July 2020, Banijay Group has been simplified its name as Banijay. Ridwan97 (talk) 07:06, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:37, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Every other type of similar category is "stations" i.e. "Geothermal power stations", "Natural gas-fired power stations", "Oil-fired power stations", master category "Power stations" etc. jp×g 00:41, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hunter Marine

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. MER-C 15:04, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: If the article Hunter Marine was removed, this category would be categorizing exclusively articles about specific Hunter Marine boat models. I suggest renaming and then removing the parents Category:American boat builders and Category:Yacht building companies. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:40, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Order of Charity (Ottoman Empire)

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. MER-C 19:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
When prominent female leaders visited the Ottoman Empire, the Order of Charity (Ottoman Empire) was given out as souvenir to commemorate the visit. Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, Alexandra of Denmark and Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia are not remotely defined by this award. There wasn't a list so I created one here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:05, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Indira Gandhi Peace Prize

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. MER-C 19:55, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Indira Gandhi Prize is meant to promote world peace which is certainly a worthy cause but the award does not seem defining for Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, Doctors Without Borders, Parliamentarians for Global Action or the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Thoe articles mention the award in passing with other honours, if at all but most tellingly the Václav Havel article discusses not winning the Nobel Peace Prize more prominently than actually winning this award. The recipients are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:05, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
