Please see the RFC at Talk:Max Mallowan#RFC about categorisation --woodensuperman 14:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should clarify WP:OCVENUE. The final sentence in paragraph #2 "Many notable locations (e.g. Madison Square Garden) have hosted so many sports events and conventions over time that categories listing all such events would not be readable." seems to indicate that size is the only reason not to categorize events by their hosting locations while I think it has more to do with that not being a defining feature. Could we add another sentence stating "The venue of a specific event is rarely a defining feature and categories for venues should not include specific events."?--User:Namiba 17:59, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My thought was just to delete the 2nd paragraph. - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:25, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Namiba: I was about to draft on RFC on the 2nd paragraph of WP:OCVENUE to get clarity about community consenus around categorizing one-time events by venue. But then I remembered we just had one last year right here and, while it was not formally closed, there clearly was no consensus one way or the other. But there also doesn't seem to be disagreement about what to enforce (1 and 2).

Do you think a fresh RFC would gain a firmer consensus, one way or the other? - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:07, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given the recent results of CFDs which produced different results and the recent discussion about which I'd forgotten, I'm not sure a fresh RFC would gain a firmer consensus. What do you think?--User:Namiba 14:15, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
