October 21

Category:Pitcairn Islands people convicted of rape

Nominator's rationale: I think we should broaden this category because there's no parent category Pitcairn Islands criminals, and I think that creating a parent category right now would just be redudant Mason (talk) 01:04, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
I think the category is legitimate, although there are questions about what categories it should be under. I now think it shouldn't be under "British people convicted of rape" because people from the British Overseas Territories aren't classified as British people on Misplaced Pages, there are various categories relating to these territories. PatGallacher (talk) 13:52, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Merge to Category:Pitcairn Islands criminals and Category:Sex offenders from British Overseas Territories. Pitcairn Islands the least populous territory in the world, with only 35 people as of the latest census. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 19:53, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Bantu

Nominator's rationale: Bantu does not have a primary topic so a better title for this category should be used. Maybe Bantu (culture)? Open to suggestions. Gonnym (talk) 13:57, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gonnym: thoughts on downmerging, as suggested by Marcocapelle? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:29, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. Yeah, I'm fine with that suggestion. Gonnym (talk) 08:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Free compilers and interpreters

Nominator's rationale: Category:Compilers and interpreters is basically a hybrid of Category:Compilers and Category:Interpreters (computing). The overwhelming majority of articles only fit in one category, and the few that don't can be in both categories. Category:Free compilers and interpreters should be split into two new categories for the same reason. I also propose adding "open source" to the names of the new categories, since that's what the current category is being used for, and just "free" is vague. Zerbu 13:09, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Joseon scholar-officials

Nominator's rationale: I think we should split this category, as a non-defining intersection. There's no parent scholar-officials Mason (talk) 02:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I do not see Marcocapelle's comment as an objection to the split – if you (Marcocapelle or just a random passerby) object please say so :)

  • I am going to oppose on the basis of WP:OVERLAPCAT, this proposal will result in two categories with almost the same content. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose. These people aren't 'officials', and they aren't 'scholars'. They are the ruling people, a social cast mostly hereditary, using the examination system as a "just cause" for their power. The compound word "scholar-officials" is the usual scholarly denomination for these people. Pldx1 (talk) 21:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Shanghai Nobel laureates

Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between city and award. Similar situation occurred with Category:Nobel laureates affiliated with Missouri Mason (talk) 23:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Category:Washington Redskins currentteam parameter articles

Nominator's rationale: Superseded by Category:Washington Commanders currentteam parameter articles, the current name of the team. ~ Dissident93 16:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Keep as redirect. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Category:Washington Football Team currentteam parameter articles

Nominator's rationale: Superseded by Category:Washington Commanders currentteam parameter articles, the current name of the team. ~ Dissident93 16:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Keep as a redirect. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
There should never be any further use of this since the team was renamed. There are no other categories for old NFL team names either. ~ Dissident93 23:50, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Amirov brothers

Nominator's rationale: I don't see the point of such a small category for navigating between two people. The article on one brother points to the other brother, and vice versa. Geschichte (talk) 07:38, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament Final Four venues

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE. This is a clear example of sorting a venue by an event it hosted. User:Namiba 22:59, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets basketball venues

Nominator's rationale: A small category which does not help navigation. All articles are already in basketball venues category so a dual merge is not needed. User:Namiba 22:47, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:God in art

Nominator's rationale: This category appears to be specific to the Christian god, but God is about the general concept, the article about the specific deity is at God in Christianity. Category:Christian god (or Category:Christian God?) might be better titles than my first suggestion, I'm not sure, but I do think specificity is needed. Other parts of the category tree might need to be looked at if consensus is to rename this one (e.g. it has parents Category:God in culture but Category:Gods in art). Thryduulf (talk) 22:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Film production companies of Turkmenistan

Nominator's rationale: Category containing only a single redirect. Serves no navigational purpose. AusLondonder (talk) 16:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Groganville, Queensland

Nominator's rationale: Category containing only a main article about a locality with no population and a mine. Better categorised in the parent. AusLondonder (talk) 15:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Areas of Boston, England

Nominator's rationale: Consistency with title of article on the town PamD 15:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Lists of people by honor or award

Nominator's rationale: To match parent Category:Honour and main article. AusLondonder (talk) 14:46, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Cape Verde

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article for someone who served as a non-resident ambassador. Pointless and unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 14:41, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:People from Wembley

Nominator's rationale: Previous consensus at Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 March 11#People from London by locality and occupation was that this sub-categorisation is unnecessary and unhelpful. See also WP:OCLOCATION. AusLondonder (talk) 14:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:People from Muswellbrook, New South Wales

Nominator's rationale: To match parent category Category:Muswellbrook and renamed main article Muswellbrook. AusLondonder (talk) 14:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Nineveh

Nominator's rationale: This is not a people category per WP:COPSEP. Subcat can then be added to Category:Archaeologists by region of study. --woodensuperman 12:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Albury, New South Wales

Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the main article Albury. While there are a number of very small towns and villages of the same name, none of these have categories and several of them have less than 100 residents. Albury is the overwhelmingly clear primary topic. AusLondonder (talk) 12:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Ardglen, New South Wales

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a main article and an article about a tunnel in the area, would be more suitably categorised in parent category. AusLondonder (talk) 12:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Greenethorpe, New South Wales

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a main article and an article about a historic homestead. Would be more helpful contained within the parent category. AusLondonder (talk) 12:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:People from Privolzhsk

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:People from Gaginsky District

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:People from Mezhgorye, Republic of Bashkortostan

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Capital University of Medical Sciences

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Mason (talk) 12:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:GMA Network personalities

Nominator's rationale: "Personalities" is redundant with people. There is no reason to have this category which implies to cover "actors and singers" when "people" apply just fine. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:06, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:ABS-CBN personalities

Nominator's rationale: "Personalities" is redundant with people. There is no reason to have this category which implies to cover "actors and singers" when "people" apply just fine. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Fiction about sexuality

Nominator's rationale: It was speedy renamed without discussion. Some articles are about Sexuality in fiction but they are not technically Fiction about sexuality. So my proposal is to include both cases, as the scope of this was never discussed officially (or did anyone talk about it anywhere?). Web-julio (talk) 06:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Yup. "selective split". about the page historial, any process you think is the best Web-julio (talk) 17:35, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:LGBTQ and religion

Nominator's rationale: No one in the last discussion considered consistency with the main article (Religion and LGBTQ people).

"LGBTQ" comes first following consistency with family tree, but that can change, observing this discussion. Web-julio (talk) 04:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
