Category:11th-century rulers in Al-Andalus
- 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 just second as per nom..
- No consensus Category:11th-century rulers in Al-Andalus
- Rename Category:Rulers of Al-Andalus (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:54, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:11th-century rulers in Al-Andalus to Category:11th-century emirs in al-Andalus
- Propose renaming Category:Rulers of Al-Andalus to Category:Monarchs in al-Andalus
- Nominator's rationale: All people in this category are already called/categorised as "emir" of a taifa, or sometimes in the case of Zaragoza, Granada and Valencia "king", the English equivalent of "emir". al-Mu'ayti is a doubtful case, called "ruler" and "caliph", but I think "emir" also covers it. The child Category:11th-century caliphs of Córdoba should probably become a sibling, because a caliph isn't really a kind of "emir". The parent Category:Rulers of Al-Andalus should be renamed Category:Monarchs in al-Andalus rather than "of", because al-Andalus was not a "country", and "monarchs" is more WP:CATSPECIFIC for emirs and caliphs than "rulers". Grammatical point: 'al-Andalus' should be written with a lowercase 'a' unless at the start of a sentence. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:42, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Somewhat unrelated question Were all Category:Umayyad caliphs of Córdoba "Arabs"? There was an increasing influx of Berbers into al-Andalus, and we know that many of them became monarchs of their own taifa or other state, but these early Umayyad caliphs of Córdoba are defined as Arabs by definition through parent Category:Arabs from al-Andalus. Is that correct? It may well be, I just have no idea. I'm thinking about how, for instance, the Golden Horde began as a "Mongol" dynasty, but gradually Turkicised, so that by the end of it, its reigning clans were called "Tatars" rather than "Mongols". Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:57, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- For consistency with the existing category trees we should call them Category:People from al-Andalus of Arab descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:44, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- For consistency with the existing category trees we should call them Category:People from al-Andalus of Arab descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support the second per nom. I wonder if we should rename century categories to "monarchs" too, so that they can contain caliphs as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:25, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- We could do that, but I see no need for it if the more specific term/title 'emirs' suffices. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 18:45, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- It apparently does not suffice because there is also Category:11th-century caliphs of Córdoba. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:46, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, at present it would not suffice, but if we make Category:11th-century caliphs of Córdoba a sibling instead of a child of Category:11th-century rulers in Al-Andalus/Category:11th-century emirs in al-Andalus, as I propose by re-parenting, there will be no need for 'monarchs'. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:35, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- I fail to see the advantage of that. Besides we do not even have a more general Category:11th-century emirs. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:36, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- We don't have any other Xth-century rulers in Al-Andalus categories either (and so we won't have any other Xth-century monarchs in Al-Andalus either if we alt-renamed it as you suggest), but that doesn't make it illegitimate to have one for the 11th century, does it? We do have Category:Emirs as a potential parent, I think that is enough. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:09, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C parent Category:Countries and territories by official language, recently renamed siblings about German, Greek, Portuguese, Azerbaijani, Hungarian, Somali, and Tamil, and many, many more. Also WP:C2D per main article List of countries and territories where Afrikaans or Dutch are official languages. Currently, countries and territories where Afrikaans is an official language (which according to the infobox at Afrikaans seem to be South Africa, Northern Cape, Western Cape, City of Cape Town, and Namibia) are not included in the category, and do not have their own category. The current category scope is limited to Dutch per parent Category:Dutch language, and I recommend to keep it like that. At Talk:Dutch language#Official language of the Netherlands, Austronesier and I have so far not been able to reach consensus on whether Dutch is an or the "official language of the Netherlands", but for the time being Netherlands can stay in this category until agreement is reached.

- Propose merging Category:6th-millennium BC people to Category:Human remains (archaeological)
- Propose merging Category:7th-millennium BC people to Category:Human remains (archaeological)
- Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 July 11#Category:7th-millennium BC people, which resulted in "no consensus", but a suggest[ion to] start a new nomination just focusing on the earlier categories. Alright, here it is. Barum Woman is the only item in Category:7th-millennium BC people, and Minnesota Woman is the only item in Category:6th-millennium BC people. Minnesota Woman is also already in target Category:Human remains (archaeological). The dating of these prehistoric women's lives is so difficult and wide-ranging that not even millennia can be accurate categories for them. And as we know nothing about their lives except from what can be (re)constructed from their archaeological remains, that is the appropriate category, and we should take them out of these inaccurate and unhelpful millennia categories. The previous CfM was unhelpful in suggesting Category:Ancient people as a target, because Ancient history is generally considered not to begin until c. 3000 BCE. And however vague the datings of the Barum and Minnesota Women are, they definitely lived and died at least 2000 years before then, so 'ancient' doesn't really apply to them.

- Merge, splitting archaeological findings from biographies. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Merge : I think I'm happy with this (as creator of the article Barum Woman). As long as we can still keep her in Category:Ancient European women, because she needs to have a category reflecting being a woman. PamD 16:49, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks again for writing it! That's a good point. Category:Swedish women (another parent) probably doesn't really apply, because she obviously didn't have "Swedish nationality" thousands of years before Sweden existed as a state/country. "European" describes geography so that's fine, but "ancient" is restricted to recorded history, so unfortunately, it doesn't really apply either.
- Perhaps we should try and create a new category (tree) within Category:Human remains (archaeological)? I don't see any precedents for this, and we should be wary of WP:NONDEFINING. Human remains are often misidentified as male or female (Barum Woman herself was originally misidentified as a male), or sometimes it is just not clear, it may be difficult to think of gender/sex as a defining characteristic. But I am tentatively in favour of this if "women" or "female human remains" or something is found to be defining.
- As a Mesolithic woman, Barum Woman would fit in Category:Mesolithic Homo sapiens fossils, along with Magdalenian Girl. If we go one step higher we find Lady of the Forum and Mungo Woman. Sibling category Category:Upper Paleolithic Homo sapiens fossils contains Red Lady of El Mirón, Red Lady of Paviland, Zlatý kůň woman, and Peștera Muierilor (where remains of at least one woman were found). Subcategory Category:Oldest human remains in the Americas includes Angeles Mesa skeletons (at least 3 females), Buhl Woman, La Brea Woman, Leanderthal Lady, Luzia Woman, Minnesota Woman, Eve of Naharon, Naia (skeleton), Peñon woman, and Upward Sun River site (two female infants). Grouping them all together would be sufficient to create something like Category:Female homo sapiens fossils if we wanted to. But as said, I would be cautious with creating this category. There may be people who think "female" is not a defining characteristic of early human fossils/remains. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:27, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Cluster of badly-formatted class-rating categories for a Wikiproject, none of which have any articles filed in them at all -- instead, they were curating lists of talk pages as text, which is not at all how this is done. Categories such as this must be transcluded by the use of class and quality assessment code in the Wikiproject template, not by listing talk pages on the category page in text format or by directly adding the category to the talk page itself -- but the newly created {{WikiProject Johnny Depp}} features no such category-generating code at all.
The categories, further, were listing a lot of extremely wrongheaded pages that wouldn't be appropriate for inclusion in Johnny Depp project categories even if they were properly formatted: for instance, the list in the GA-Class category included the likes of Talk:Aerosmith, Talk:Al Pacino, Talk:Benedict Cumberbatch, Talk:Bob Marley, Talk:Keith Richards, Talk:Michelle Pfeiffer and Talk:Patti Smith, and the C-Class category listed things like Talk:Alfred Molina and Talk:Cannes Film Festival -- i.e. anybody or anything that has any tenuous or tangential connection to Johnny Depp at all, regardless of whether that connection does or doesn't have any importance to the other topic's article whatsoever. But that's not how WikiProject categories work either: Bob Marley doesn't belong in a Johnny Depp category just because Johnny Depp once owned a portrait of Bob Marley; Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't belong in a Johnny Depp category just because they were once castmates in a movie, and on and so forth. (Can you even imagine if we tagged every actor's biographical article as being under the auspices of a dedicated WikiProject for every other actor they had ever been in a film with, and every film festival as being under the auspices of a dedicated WikiProject for every individual actor who ever attended it because he was in a film screening there? No, just absolute no.) So I can't justify adding the appropriate code to the project template to properly populate these categories either, because the overwhelming majority of the pages in the lists wouldn't even warrant the template anyway.
It's questionable whether a WikiProject Johnny Depp (itself newly created within the past two days by somebody who clearly didn't know what they were doing, and didn't go through the proper process for launching new WikiProjects to get any guidance on how to do any of it correctly either) is even necessary at all, if it needs to commandeer Bob Marley and Benedict Cumberbatch and Keith Richards just to have articles to oversee, but that's a question for a different forum than CFD -- but even if it is maintained, project categories should only be created by people who actually know how to do that properly, and how to correctly assess what articles belong in the tree.

- Nominator's rationale: delete, prime example of WP:SHAREDNAME. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:33, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Textbook WP:SHAREDNAME of grouping things by what they're called instead of what defines them. If you look at the parent category @Marcocapelle:, Category:Things named after people, this is not the only problematic subcategory.

- Question WP:SHAREDNAME says
a category may be useful if the people, objects, or places are directly related
. Since things are named after the specific person, there is a direct relationship between them and the names are not coincidental. But does it even count as WP:NONDEFINING in such cases? I haven't participated in a lot sharedname CfDs yet, so I'm somewhat unfamiliar with how it applies in practice. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:14, 11 July 2023 (UTC)- @Nederlandse Leeuw: I think that this means the objects and places should be directly related among themselves. E.g. movies called The Three Musketeers that are all adapted from the same novel would be related, but the many movies called Victoria that tell completely different stories often unrelated to e.g. Queen Victoria as a character are not. Cities founded by Alexander the Great and called Alexandria are related, but Alessandria in Piemonte, Italy, is not. The twelve Battles of the Isonzo that were fought consecutively by Austria and Italy between 1915 and 1917 are related, but the various Battles of the Nile fought at centuries of distance between different opponents are not. Place Clichy (talk) 13:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Place Clichy That makes a lot of sense, thanks! Category:Cities founded by Alexander the Great are named after him by himself (arrogant, perhaps, but certainly defining), while species named Category:Species named after Greta Thunberg were not named after her by the same person or research team in every case, and these species aren't closely related ( Craspedotropis gretathunbergae is a land snail and Opacuincola gretathunbergae is a freshwater snail.). I do note, however, that about half the references in each of these four articles has "new species named after climate activist Greta Thunberg" or something like that in the title, so she does appear to be the reason why these species get a lot of their (initial) media coverage, without which they might not even meet WP:SIGCOV.
- As @RevelationDirect said above, we probably want to Keep child Category:Lists of things named after people. This has articles such as List of organisms named after famous people (born 1950–present), which incidentally mentions "Greta Thunberg" 14 times, including 3 of the 4 species in the category (only not Opacuincola gretathunbergae). Clear case of Listify then, just add that one to the list and delete the category.
- Should we Listify the other 6 nominees as well? You (Place Clichy) said below This stuff is good for a list article, so we three seem to agree already. What does nom @Marcocapelle think? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:29, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment If we do go for Listify, not everything in Category:Monuments and memorials to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk officially carries the name "(Mustafa Kemal) Atatürk", e.g. Zafer Square is dedicated to him but not named after him, so we would have to exclude it. On the other hand, Statue of Honor has "Atatürk Monument" as an WP:ALTNAME so I think we would have to include it. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. This stuff is good for a list article or a disambiguation page, not a category. Place Clichy (talk) 13:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Listification of the categories is in principle a good idea and just copying and pasting the content of a category to plain text is easy enough. But the question is if someone is going to take the effort to turn them into proper medium-quality list articles. Unless someone wants to volunteer for making proper list articles right now, my suggestion would be to add a list, without any additions, on every of the six talk pages of the respective biography articles for anyone interested in the topic to elaborate it to an acceptable list article.

Relisting comment: Should the categories be listified?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:00, 20 July 2023 (UTC)- Would an article list with no content end up being deleted? Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

- Do not make into lists – lists are an entirely different area with their own guidelines, they’re not just an easy out or compromise for category discussions. Most of these categories have only around five names in them. Really, a five item list? And where are the sources that give substantial coverage to all the listed items as a whole (a notability expectation) Aza24 (talk) 15:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Well some time ago I asked at the Lists WikiProject how many items a "list" needs to have, and if 1 item was enough to make a "list", and nobody answered me. Seems like a simple question with a quick yes or no answer? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 06:08, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- There's at least one featured list with three items, though I do find that rather dubious. Ham II (talk) 08:51, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Fix left over ungrammatical uses of "enigmatic" in some categories, and a few "incertae sedis" categories were left that were not renamed to use "enigmatic" instead. (More to be added if I find any) See previous CfDs renaming "incertae sedis" categories to use the word "enigmatic" instead, and subsequently fixing use of the word "enigmatic" in some of them: March 2021, November 2021, Jan 2022.
