- Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:10, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose - Islam is a religion and Muslims are a community. Sentiment against one doesn't equate to sentiment against the other. Please consult WP:RS instead of making up your own opinions. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:54, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- It is not a matter of "my own opinion", it's the way this categorization is organized: Category:Anti-Muslim sentiment is a redirect to Category:Anti-Islam sentiment. The persecution of Muslims and criticisms of Islam are different things, but "anti-Muslim" and "anti-Islam" are treated as interchangeable to refer to the persecution of Muslims in categories and redirects (their own disambiguation page treats them as interchangeable). Furthermore, you are ignoring the main problem with the two categories: There is no actual difference in the actual content of the two categories. I don't see why Demolition of the Babri Masjid is labelled as "Anti-Muslim", whereas Haridwar hate speeches is labelled as "Anti-Islam". There are multiple sister political parties split between the two categories despite belonging to the same Hindu nationalist family of organizations. If anything, this current split is more confusing than not. BirdCities (talk) 05:13, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- It wasn't always organised that way. Category:Anti-Muslim sentiment was made a redirect some time recently. A misguided decision in my opinion. Rather Category:Anti-Islam sentiment should have been made a redirect, just like Category:Anti-Christianity is a redirect. There are obviously Wikipdia's systemic biases at work and I don't have the energy or inclination to fight them all. But for most of South Asia pages, "Anti-Islam" doesn't make sense. Demolition of Babri Masjid, for instance, had to do with historical disputes regarding which community the localition originally belonged to it. It had nothing to do with the principles or practices of Islam. If you put Demolition of Babri Masjid in a category of "Anti-Islam", I will be forced to delete the category because there are no reliable sources that support such a claim. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:31, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- I retained Haridwar hate speeches in the "Anti-Islam" category because the speeches were made by Hindu religious preachers, and it could be argued that they were prejudiced against the religion of Islam itself. But there is no fine distinction here. All these ridiculous niceties can be avoided if Category:Anti-Islam sentiment is made a redirect to Category:Anti-Muslim sentiment, which is logically the correct thing to do. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- I support having a single category, I don't care what title it's at. Conceptually one could argue for a fine distinction, but I see no such distinction in the sources, and in the vast majority of articles in which this is used the sources are going to use language that doesn't match these titles anyway (prejudice, hate, Islamophobia...) Vanamonde (Talk) 15:48, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose - There should be two categories, for the reasons that User:Kautilya3 mentioned above: anti-Islam would denote opposition to the religion itself, while anti-Muslim indicates opposition or discrimination to a group of people. These are conceptually different categories and unless one is being deliberately obtuse, it is not a 'fine' distinction. - 06:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naushervan (talk • contribs)
- There is no way to oppress a religion without impacting the followers of that religion, so yes it is a fine distinction. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:26, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- I used the term "fine distinction" in the context of the specific page, Haridwar hate speeches. In many other pages, the distinction is quite significant.
- Most of the literature on "Anti-Islam" or "Islamophobia" is written by western authors in the western context. They are quite oblivious of the rest of the world, and especially South Asia. India has the second largest number of Muslims in the world and Islam has been in India from the time of Prophet Muhammad himself. So the issues there are quite different from those of the West. However, see this source which attempts to deal with the distinctions to some extent:
- * Gottschalk, Peter; Greenberg, Gabriel (2018). Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Sentiment: Picturing the Enemy. Rowman & Littlefield. ISBN 978-1-5381-0738-6.
- In any case, making Category:Anti-Muslim sentiment the primary category would solve the problem, as far as I can see. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:51, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support. This is far too fine a distinction. "There is no way to oppress a religion without impacting the [community of] followers of that religion" is correct. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

- Support Agreed these are fundamentally the same concept, and I doubt the creator of whichever was created last was aware of the others existence. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support — WP:OVERLAPCAT I'm a long-time reader/supporter of Informed Comment, and have a passable understanding of the distinctions. Agree that anti-Islam or Islamophobia is against a misunderstanding of the religion, while anti-Muslim is against the body or personification. However, these are implied motivations of activities described in the articles, not the articles themselves. Categories are not for labelling fine distinctions. Combining to one category will assist navigation and editors.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:22, 29 January 2023 (UTC) - Merge or reverse merge as overlapping categories with no clear difference. Note that there is also Category:Islamophobia in India and Category:Anti-Muslim violence in India. The problem may be at the higher level, maybe as the result of this poorly-attended CfD. In my opinion there should be only a category for negative discourse on religious grounds (which should be Category:Criticism of Islam and another category for hate & prejudice (which should probably be called Anti-Muslim sentiment) in the case of Haridwar hate speeches, that's clearly hate speech towards Muslims as a social group, not theological debate. The clerical role of people involved in hate speech and calls to violence does not change the nature of the speech. Place Clichy (talk) 11:46, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'd not found the separate Category:Criticism of Islam. OTOH, I'm not convinced that Haridwar hate speeches are Anti-Muslim, but not Anti-Islam. They are not expressing support for the tenets of Islam, merely against their neighbors believing such things. They oppose a/all/any different religion in their community. The name of that religion in this instance is Islam (in English). We'll need to deal with Category:Anti-Muslim violence in India later.

- See recent:
- The subcategories deeper down should be nominated too (for merger, probably), otherwise the nomination misses its point. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:25, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Go ahead. We're still waiting on a decision about your mass nominations a month or so ago. I've checked the subcategories, they are already in other parents where they should be deleted or merged. I'm working on strategically pruning this useless part of the tree.

- Comment Category:American sportspeople of Southwest Asian descent was tagged as a regular CSD C1 since it was empty even though it seems to be included in this nomination (no CFD tag on the page). So, unless something changes, it looks like that category will be deleted before this discussion closes. Liz Read! Talk! 21:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep -- These are harmless containers and should have that label. I suspect that the SW Asian category is empty because the content has been moved to Middle Eastern. This should perhaps become a cat-redirect. We may need a Central Asian sibling for the ex-Soviet republics there. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep pending a larger nomination and discussion of the tree of Category:East Asian people etc. Simply deleting sportspeople doesn't make sense given that it is a logical derivative of much larger and broader categories.--User:Namiba 15:39, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- This argument makes little sense, as this is indeed part of a larger group on nominations, linked below. This effort comprehensively covers the notability of continental/regional descent categories of sportspeople and their racial implications. BTW sportspeople is the only occupation for which such categories exist. It is therefore not pending anything, and keeping only these 5 categories would create a wart.

- Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency. The category tree currently contains four different formats: Al-Andalus fooers and fooers of, from and in Al-Andalus. "From" (with the exception of rulers and military personnel) is the default for the Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire and for caliphates. "Of" is sometimes ambiguous, e.g. are historians of Al-Andalus living in Al-Andalus or is Al-Andalus their topic of interest? "Al-Andalus fooers" failed earlier in this discussion. "In" only occurs very rarely. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Asqueladd, Laurel Lodged, and Peterkingiron: pinging participants in previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support "from" works best for multi-ethnic empires. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:30, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support. The al- should be lower case per WP:MOSAR. I am slightly unsure about "of" vs "from" in all cases. I think "from" can also be ambiguous. For example, is a slave brought to al-Andalus a "slave from al-Andalus"? Srnec (talk) 01:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Caveat: I agree that the bishops categories should remain as is. Srnec (talk) 21:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support — to match previous decisions. Don't see any decision about Al-Andalus specific capitalization, this matches the others. If enslaved there, "from" there. (Marcocapelle must have a marvelous script for mass nominations, this would have taken me half a day.)

- Selectively keep -- Those categories already using "of" should be kept; and it should be dynasties of Al-A. On the other hand "from" is much better for exiles and expatriates. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:51, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose for bishops categories per Referencer12. Furius (talk) 02:42, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose, Propose selectively keeping some as are and changing others to "Andalusian fooers," based on how other categories in other groups are worded (eg, RC bishops in, Andalusian rabbis, etc.) Rational: Consistency should be kept across those other groups not al-Andalus.Referencer12 (talk) 06:39, 1February 2023 (UTC)
- This is a misunderstanding, it is not about Andalusia (adjective Andalusian) but about Al-Andalus (adjective, if any, Al-Andalus). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- I understand we're discussing x, not Andalusia. Then, Propose 'Andalusi' See Andalusi Classical Music & Andalusi Literature. This should still be done selectively, following conventions of other category groups eg Bishops, Rabbis, Historians, etc. Referencer12 (talk) 14:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Not a good idea. Those are currently redlinks.
- Andalusi classical music (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is music outside al-Andalus, that
originated in the music of al-Andalus
, spread by peoplefleeing the Reconquista
. - Andalusi literature (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) was moved 5 months ago to Literature of al-Andalus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).
- Andalusi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is a redirect to Al-Andalusi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), a disambiguation page for surnames.
- Andalusí (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is a redirect to Moorish Revival architecture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).
- Category:Andalusi-Jewish culture ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is the only current category example. It should be renamed to Category:Jewish culture of al-Andalus. It also needs to be purged of later than period articles, and other places such as Iraq. This category illustrates the confusion of "Andalusi" and "Andalusian".
- As noted in the nomination, a prefix demonym has already been rejected.
- Andalusi classical music (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is music outside al-Andalus, that
- Not a good idea. Those are currently redlinks.

- Oops! Sincerest apologies! 1st time partaking in one of these discussions. Wasn't meaning to make it look like more users were opposing. Referencer12 (talk) 03:36, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Summary: previous responses have been qualified as follows:
- The suffix should be "al-Andalus", matching articles, such as List of Umayyad governors of al-Andalus, Literature of al-Andalus, and Sufism in al-Andalus.
- Bishops should be "in al-Andalus".
- Rabbis should be "in al-Andalus" to match other decisions.
- Dynasties should be "of al-Andalus" to match similar categories.
- @Marcocapelle: do you agree to these modifications?
William Allen Simpson (talk) 17:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)- I am not opposing any of the modifications. I guess many more categories need renaming when we change the suffix. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- OK. I've clarified that current proposal for the closer. Also, "Clergy in", just like bishops and rabbis.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 18:38, 1 February 2023 (UTC) - Great, thanks for taking the Clergy/Bishops/Rabbi issues into account & for working on making Wikipedia better! Referencer12 (talk) 03:36, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

- Propose selectively merging Category:Bemin ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) added February 5
- Nominator's rationale:
deleteselectively merge, incoherent content, in part overlapping with Category:Tribes of ancient Japan and Category:Japanese clans. A speedy move request was declined. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

- Selective merge to Category:Tribes of ancient Japan and Category:Japanese clans per WP:OVERLAPCAT — there aren't very many, so I'll volunteer.

- Manual merge per William Allen Simpson. – Fayenatic London 09:35, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, @Fayenatic london, @William Allen Simpson, the category appears to be empty. — Qwerfjkltalk 09:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- User:Immanuelle has created Category:Bemin and moved the articles to the replacement category. I have added the new category to the nomination with the same rationale plus WP:NONDEF. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:22, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- User:Immanuelle has also created a lead article Bemin, but this does not mention the other articles Imbe clan / Ōiryō / Saeki people / Soga clan, and only Shinabe clans mentions Bemin, so the categorisation is unreferenced. – Fayenatic London 21:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- I made a mistake in most of the categorizations based on a confusing structure on Japanese wikipedia. The category is not needed on English wikipedia and imo should be deleted on Arabic and Japanese wikipedias. It does not seem that many if any non-Shinabe groups are independently notable. I found a reference for Saeki people but even they are only notable for their existence before their subjugation as Bemin. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:56, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Immanuelle: Thank you. I have tagged the empty Arabic category for deletion. The Japanese ja:category:部民 is beyond my capability to deal with, but should the English translation be left as Bemin on its Wikidata item, or can you suggest something better? Google Translate & Chrome variously suggest tribes, members, citizens. – Fayenatic London 15:04, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- I am unfamiliar with any english translation other than Bemin. Google translate has various suggestions, but none of them seem to adequately translate it. Japanese wiki corpus calls it Bemin https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/history/Bemin%20System%20(the%20system%20of%20Yamato%20sovereignty).html as does this website https://glosbe.com/ja/en/%E9%83%A8%E6%B0%91 Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 18:58, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
