Nominator's rationale: The proposed style is less ambiguous than [Foo] language activists, because Basque, Belarusian and so on could refer to nationalities as well as to languages. The style [Foo]-language categories with a hyphen, used by the Polish and Ukrainian categories and by many more of these before this CfD of 29 March, is also ambiguous because the scope is activists on behalf of those languages rather than ones for any cause who conduct their activism in those languages. (That is, they're subcategories of Category:Language activists and not of a hypothetical "activists by language" category.) Pinging 1234qwer1234qwer4, jc37 and Marcocapelle, the editors who !voted in the last CfD. Ham II (talk) 07:15, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose when we put language and activist in the same title it is obvious that this is for people whose activism connects to the language. I do not think there is an ambiguity that needs to be fixed at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as I believe it's unnecessary purely as a matter of pragmatics. I see no cause for concern over confusion assuming that even the minutest bit of context is available from whatever avenue leads a reader to one of these categories. Also, if we're going to be that precise, note that, given "Activists for the German language", one could ask "Which German language? Bavarian? Schwytzertütsch?" Largoplazo (talk) 21:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
An additional observation: If I describe someone as a German teacher, I'm confident that it will be understood to mean that the person teaches the German language, not that the teacher is a German person. The latter may also be true, but that's not what I will be understood to have written. Largoplazo (talk) 01:36, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OCEGRS (and the relevant list article fails WP:NOT, showing how this is indeed not an appropriate intersection by ethnicity/religion) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:35, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, I wouldn't at all be opposed to deleting nearly the whole of Category:Jews by occupation (and similar categories if they exist for other religions/ethnicity). Few, if any, of these intersections are useful navigational groupings or culturally significant phenomena. So WP:OSE is again easily refuted with "the other stuff should be nominated too, when/if somebody has the time for it". RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:33, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: There's only one Welsh-speaking country: Wales. DrKay (talk) 06:52, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On a separate note, there may be an argument for the UK could be included, because Wales is within the UK sovereign state. Yes Wales is not an official language across the whole of the UK and the Welsh parliament acts on Welsh language are part of the UK CONSTITUTION which would suggest legitimacy for its inclusion.Titus Gold (talk) 17:09, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Making a language official doesn't mean anyone speaks it. Don't name a category "Welsh-speaking" and then make up inclusion criteria contradictory to that. Having 1% of the population speaking Welsh doesn't make the place "Welsh-speaking". Largoplazo (talk) 20:04, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
