February 17

Category:Lawyers from Bergen County, New Jersey

Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Also merge to People from Englewood, New Jersey by occupation. Lost in Quebec (talk) 23:42, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Accidents and incidents involving the CRJ 900

Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C renaming to align with other sub-categories within the Category:Aviation accidents and incidents by aircraft, that list the manufacturer's name prior to the aircraft type. See Category:Accidents and incidents involving the Bombardier CRJ200 or Category:Accidents and incidents involving the Airbus A320. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 23:17, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, updated nomination to reflect the numbering should be CRJ900 not CRJ 900, removed space. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 23:28, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:1930s-Cuba-film-stub

Nominator's rationale: Unused stub template of unclear necessity. Countries with a lot of film articles to worry about, so that a single stub category would be populated into the high hundreds or thousands, are allowed to have decade-country intersection stub templates and categories, but they aren't a thing that automatically needs to exist for every country across the board.
Category:Cuban film stubs only has 72 articles in it total, however, which is not nearly enough to need comprehensive stub sorting by decade: no other decade templates exist at all but this, there would need to be a lot more than 72 films before any were needed, and even this hasn't actually been added to any films at all. Bearcat (talk) 17:54, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Books translated into Nahuatl

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for a non-defining characteristic. Since any book can be translated into any language at any time, there's no value in categorizing books for translated-into languages -- that would just lead to extreme category bloat, as each individual book was added to dozens, or sometimes even hundreds, of categories for translated-into languages. So we categorize literature for the language it was originally written in, not for languages it's been translated into after the fact. Bearcat (talk) 17:27, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Judoka coaches

Nominator's rationale: One-person category at an incorrect name. The sport is called judo, while a judoka is an individual practitioner of judo rather than the sport as a whole -- so a person who coaches the judokas would be a "judo coach", not a "judoka coach".
As we don't appear to have Category:Judo coaches at all yet, this could also be salvaged by moving it to that name if somebody with more knowledge of the subject than I've got can find other people who could be filed in it, but it needs to be deleted if the one person filed here now is all there is. Bearcat (talk) 17:10, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch, I didn't realize that. Merger probably even better than deletion, as this might happen again in the future. Bearcat (talk) 17:40, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

20th-century years in sport in Bangkok

Nominator's rationale: Mostly 1-3 articles per category. Not useful for navigation. WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:52, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Scigliano

Nominator's rationale: Category for people from a small town without enough people from it to need a dedicated category. As always, every town that exists does not automatically get one of these the moment one notable person from there has an article to file in it -- there would need to be at least five people in it before a town-level category was needed, and short of five the province level is all that's required.
For added bonus, the one person who was filed in here when I first found it was not stated or sourced anywhere in his article as being "from" Scigliano at all (it said he was born in a completely different town not even in the same region of Italy, let alone anywhere near Scigliano, and then completely failed to mention Scigliano anywhere besides the category), so he had to be removed -- but while perusing Scigliano's "what links here" did find two other people who could be filed here to stave off immediate speedy, two articles isn't enough to justify actually keeping it, and even if the article I removed could be properly sourced back into it, three articles still wouldn't be enough either.

Category:People from Reading, Vermont

Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 15:03, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Month year in Burkina Faso categories

Nominator's rationale: Isolated categories. Not useful for navigation. The article(s) is/are often in one or both parent categories so full or any merging is not always needed (as listed below). –Aidan721 (talk) 14:28, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Month year in Bosnia and Herzegovina categories

Nominator's rationale: Isolated categories. Not useful for navigation. Don't always need a second merge target if the article(s) is/are already in that tree. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Month year in Bolivia categories

Nominator's rationale: Isolated categories. Not useful for navigation. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:05, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Month year in Belize categories

Nominator's rationale: Isolated categories. Not useful for navigation –Aidan721 (talk) 14:02, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Bamberg by occupation

Nominator's rationale: Subcategory with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 12:08, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also propose merging

Also subcategories with just one or two entries.Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:15, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RuPaul's Drag Race season categories

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category level. Episode categories already in Category:RuPaul's Drag Race episodes. --woodensuperman 10:34, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Apprentice contestants

Nominator's rationale: Just seems to be full of celebrities known for other things, which is not WP:DEFINING for them, and falls foul of WP:PERFCAT. --woodensuperman 10:10, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suppose the subcategories should be co-nominated (apart from the winners). Marcocapelle (talk) 22:59, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Just looking at the Irish and the British ones and, for the most part, these do seem to actually be people who were made famous by their participation in the series. Not so much the Australian one, although there do seem to be a couple. On closer inspection, maybe we should purge of people who were already notable before their appearances (in all of the national variation subcategories), and certainly not include any Celebrity Apprentice participants? --woodensuperman 08:50, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That being said, I am really struggling to find any in the main category who aren't already notable for other things. --woodensuperman 08:52, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:New Brunswick New Democratic Party leadership elections in New Brunswick

Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C renaming to align with other provincial NDP Categories in Category:New Democratic Party provincial leadership elections. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 08:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. Also the "in New Brunswick" part is just redundant, as the first part of the category name already specifies "New Brunswick New Democratic Party" as it is — the NBNDP would never be holding leadership elections in Nova Scotia, Alberta or Michigan, now, would it? Bearcat (talk) 16:53, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional historical detectives

Nominator's rationale: The criterion is rather hazy and not explicitly defined. What is "historical"? Lord Darcy (character) is set in the 20th century. Sherlock Holmes, who isn't listed, is sleuthing in the late 19th-early 20th century. Phryne Fisher is 20th century. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:27, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, historical novels are a thing, and by extension we might accept historical detectives as works. But the category contains characters instead of works and it is entirely unclear how to define a historical character. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
