Military organization(s) and Military organization(s) by country
- 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: no consensus. Thorough discussion; unlikely a WP:RELIST would help. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:36, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Rename Category:Military organization to Category:Military organizations
- Rename Category:Military organization by country to Category:Military organizations by country
Feel free to disagree with me, but I think those two categories should be renamed for grammatical reasons. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 23:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy rename per C2A. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:50, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. This category pertains to the organization of military not with actual organizations in that sense per hatnote on Category:Military organization. Perhaps it should be renamed accordingly? –Aidan721 (talk) 03:58, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy rename. Azuredivay (talk) 06:13, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose this way, the articles of this category do not belong in the target. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per Aidan721 and Marcocapelle. Seems like a misguided nomination (not sure what grammatical reasons there could be, given the content/topic, i.e. Military organization; clearly, it does not and is not meant to contain only organizations) and definitely doesn't fall under C2A (where it explicitly says it includes pluralization only for set categories and not
when disagreement might reasonably be anticipated as to whether the category is a topic or set category
, which would definitely be the case here, and I would even say it's definitely a WP:TOPICCAT). Felida97 (talk) 04:38, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:People from Dubá to Category:People from Česká Lípa District
- Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 20:29, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:17, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge, isolated categories, not helpful for navigation. But Category:1600 murders in Europe should not be merged to Category:17th-century murders in Europe, only to the other two targets, it was in the 16th century. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Good catch, amended above. There is no Category:16th-century murders in Europe (nor does there need to be at this stage) and the content is already in the Category:Murder in Europe tree. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:56, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Albin Kurti ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Category with only one page. Most biographies shouldn't have matching categories, unless the person is exceptionally important and there are multiple pages about them and their works. pburka (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per WP:C2F. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Merge/delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Re earlier Murders in France by year or decade, I do not find the earlier (19c back) categories confusing or difficult to navigate: eg Category:1894 murders in France or Category:1894 murders in Italy which are both subcategories of Category:1894 murders in Europe. Is it proposed to upmerge earlier murders by year for other countries like Italy also? Hugo999 (talk
- No, only France. Italy's categories can be nominated separately. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:21, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose This does not aid navigation, it simply merges murders into generic categories. It makes the articles harder to locate. Dimadick (talk) 08:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- It does aid navigation, see example in the nomination above. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:20, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose Re proposed categories of Murder by year or decade, for merging or deletion, I do not find these categories confusing or difficult to navigate. And the proposed categories for Europe (January 11), Asia (January 12/13), Australia, Canada & New Zealand (January 13) and South America (January 14) should all be considered together. Hugo999 (talk) 22:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Massacres by year
- Propose merging Category:Massacres in 1503 (1) to Category:Murder in 1503 and Category:16th-century massacres
- Propose merging Category:Massacres in 1506 (1) to Category:Murder in 1506 and Category:16th-century massacres
- Propose merging Category:Massacres in 1517 (2) to Category:Murder in 1517 and Category:16th-century massacres
- Propose merging Category:Massacres in 1519 (2) to Category:Murder in 1519 and Category:16th-century massacres
- Propose merging Category:Massacres in 1520 (2) to Category:Murder in 1520 and Category:16th-century massacres
- Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:26, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. WP:NARROW is about narrow intersections of two topics. I don't see how that happens here -- the single topic is a list of massacres. Is the claim that the time domain is the other axis for intersection? But that's not a separate category. Maybe this nomination needs to be refined. No evidence is offered for the claim that these are not useful for navigation. -- mikeblas (talk) 21:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Categories are not lists. And WP:NARROW definitely applies as the intersection between Category:Massacres and Category:Years. Please also see the cross-reference from WP:OCYEAR to WP:NARROW:
avoid creating a category tree of individual by year categories with very few members
. –Aidan721 (talk) 04:01, 13 January 2025 (UTC)- A "list" is an enumerative, countable collection. A category is an enumerable, countable collection. -- mikeblas (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Categories are not lists. And WP:NARROW definitely applies as the intersection between Category:Massacres and Category:Years. Please also see the cross-reference from WP:OCYEAR to WP:NARROW:

- Oppose Merging everything to century categories is not useful for navigation. It simply makes the articles harder to locate. Dimadick (talk) 17:52, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. For the 18th century a merge to decade categories is reasonable, but in earlier centuries many decade categories would still consist of only one article each. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:26, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Category:Massacres in 1779 was emptied. I realize that it's just one category in a much larger nomination but I thought I'd mention it. Liz Read! Talk! 20:56, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with Dimadick that merging to the century categories hinders navigation, but I also agree with nom that (e.g.) getting from Jaragua massacre to Lisbon massacre would be easier if we didn't have single member by-year categories. Going Jaragua massacre -> Category:Massacres in 1503 -> Category:Massacres in the 1500s -> Category:Massacres in 1506 -> Lisbon massacre is a lot more work than Jaragua massacre -> Category:Massacres in the 1500s -> Lisbon massacre. Therefore, merge to the "in [decade]s" categories. @Dimadick, Marcocapelle, Mikeblas, and Aidan721: is this an acceptable compromise? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:21, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- That seems like a reasonable solution for the time being. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:16, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:2110s in the arts ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: delete, isolated decade category and the two subcategories are already directly under Category:2110s too. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Support per nom. SMasonGarrison 14:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: WP:PERFCAT; Accompanying article was changed to a redirect. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 12:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be renamed to Cannella Media affiliates aligning with article Cannella Media? Marcocapelle (talk) 14:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Water gods in Meitei mythology ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Meitei gods
- Nominator's rationale: Same problem as in the CfD for the Meitei goddesses. Here, there are 17 subcategories but only 15 unique articles, 14 of which are directly in the parent. (The exception is Lok Ningthou.) It was noted by Zeynel (talk · contribs) in the previous CfD that many Meitei deities have broad and overlapping domains, so I am listing only the merge back into Category:Meitei gods. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Can't keep up with LaundryPizza03's nominations, see below, too many and too quick. Why is there not a limit on daily or weekly nominations? I don't look at this nomination page daily, way too much to save and bid goodbye to, but is this a normal daily nomination flow or is what I'm reading below a one-off? Randy Kryn (talk) 10:41, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- No, it's about average. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Brunei in fiction to Category:Works set in Brunei
- Nominator's rationale: Contents are exactly the same, and they form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. I suppose the "in fiction" tree and the "works set in" tree are largely overlapping anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Metacomet Ridge, Connecticut ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Metacomet Ridge
- Propose merging Category:Metacomet Ridge, Massachusetts ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Metacomet Ridge
- Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary split that creates two category loops. No other mountain range has categories that intersect with political subdivisions, except where it is common to do so like with the Rocky Mountains. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- If kept, at least purge the loop. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Sadistic horror films ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: This does not seem to be a recognized genre and instead depends on editor fiat. From the tagging, it seems to essentially be the same as Category:Slasher films. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete No main article about Sadistic horror. Contents are likely already in subcategories of Category:Slasher films. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Practically every version of the slasher film and the splatter film involves sadistic characters. Because the films typically feature serial killers and torturers. Dimadick (talk) 17:55, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Categories are too similar, especially given the actual contents, and this is reflected by the presence of a category loop between the first pair. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- If not kept, please keep a redirect at least for the first category. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I am actually leaning to keep, also per Randy Kryn below. Mythology and religion categories shouldn't be subcategories or parent categories of each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Both categories seem fine and cover two different things (religion and mythology are not overlapping viewpoints or mutually inclusive), but if they have to be merged by force of numbers please do so in total and change their names to, for example, "Category:Birds in religion and mythology". Randy Kryn (talk) 10:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think that numbers is an issue here. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with Randy Kryn. Best to keep as they are, but, if they must be merged, rename them to "in religion and mythology". Religion and mythology are not the same thing. – Michael Aurel (talk) 14:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- keep as they are Distinct topics. Dimadick (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as they are. My understanding is that mythology is usually a component of religion, along with ritual and views on morality, etc. "Animals in mythology" would refer to figures who appear in a religious tradition's mythological narrative, whereas "animals in religion" would refer to how certain animals are viewed according to that religion's cultural background, ritual application, etc. Invokingvajras (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

- Dual merge, also to Category:Baseball players from Texas. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep these were made as part of a larger effort to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Texas. I don't think sending them back to that category helps navigation.

Relisting comment: Thoughts on Namiba's comment? And, if merged, also dual merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- The larger effort to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Texas goes against WP:OCLOCATION. Large categories are not a problem per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of similar categories. WP:DIFFUSE states "Although there is no limit on the size of categories, a large category will often be broken down ("diffused") into smaller, more specific subcategories." Regardless, there seems to be an informal community consensus that breaking down large categories into smaller categories by location is encouraged.--User:Namiba 19:34, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

- Dual merge per Marcocapelle. I agree with Namiba's point, but I differ in that my take is that we don't need to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Texas by every county. Diffusing the more populated counties is useful but diffusing counties like these with very few articles is not useful in my opinion. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
