The result of the discussion was: Rename all Timrollpickering (talk) 10:41, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: C2D The main articles have been renamed to match with the disambiguator used by most others in the series. Changing the disambiguators to match article titles.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  22:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Altered rational above. SchreiberBike | ⌨  00:11, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Category names should match article titles (and (moth)/(butterfly) are more consistently used disambiguators than (genus) for articles on Lepidoptera genera). Plantdrew (talk) 01:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Treaty of Brest-Litovsk

edit
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: not a clear consensus, so split to a new sub-cat as suggested by some. Without the current category, I am not sure how the new sub-cat should be parented. – Fayenatic London 18:23, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCASSOC)
This category groups people associated with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, where Soviet Russia left WWI and negotiated a separate treaty with the Central Powers. The problem is that the diplomats and national leaders involved in that negotiation were, well, diplomats and national leaders who also did other stuff. Anastasia Bitsenko is an outlier who does seem defined by this treaty but none of the others do, including Prince Leopold of Bavaria and Leon Trotsky. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:33, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The other stuff I was referring to was really the many other treaties under Category:Treaties of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and Category:Treaties of the German Empire that they also often worked on. I don't think that will change your opinion but I should have been more specific. RevelationDirect (talk) 10:40, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with pruning. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:20, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say the same thing. The current category contents is basically a people cat. RevelationDirect (talk) 11:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (supporting my response above). We do not need to create a separate people category, only rename as all the articles are bio-articles, except one main article on the treaty. Oculi's proposal would leave us with a category consisting just of a main article and a subcat; such categories regularly get deleted, commonly as eponymous. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:51, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (upmerging non-bio articles if necessary). This is in effect a "people associated with" category that is non-defining e.g. for Prince Leopold of Bavaria. Anybody interested in topics (including people) related to the treaty should look at links (especially if there's a navbox) in the article about the treaty. DexDor (talk) 17:47, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Consensus exists that the information in this category is better rendered in the list article Minority languages of Croatia. bibliomaniac15 05:55, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, this category concerns two municipalities, Daruvar with 11.000 people of which 20% Czech-speaking, and Koncanica with 2.000 people of which half Czech-speaking. Both municipalities are mentioned in the list article Minority languages of Croatia. The two other articles in the category are villages in the municipality of Daruvar.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No real consensus at the moment. More discussion needs to take place about whether the category is perhaps a WP:NOTDEFINING or WP:SMALLCAT situation, or whether the alt merge is the best course of action. It is very likely that the outcome of this case will set a certain precedent in terms of "minority-language areas," and this needs to be further discussed.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, bibliomaniac15 18:42, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge "Category:Czech-speaking Territorial Units of Croatia" into the article titled "Minority Languages in Croatia". This will make a lot more sense. --JTZegers (talk) 19:51, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Soldiers of Massachusetts

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Military personnel from colonial Massachusetts. There's a consensus that the colonial aspect should be preserved. I'm closing as "from" in light of it being the more common usage in Category:People from Massachusetts and Category:Military personnel from Massachusetts. bibliomaniac15 05:52, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Military personnel from Massachusetts is part of the developed Category:American military personnel by state. This category is not part of any category tree and the only one of its kind. User:Namiba 18:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) buidhe 09:59, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Small one county community with just 3 entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:34, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep without too much effort I found two other articles that fit into this category. The community is small, but with 5 entries I don't think WP:SMALLCAT necessarily applies. Inter&anthro (talk) 14:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It seems rather pedantic to argue that someone isn't associated with a town if they grew up on an adjacent farm or some other immediate area.--User:Namiba 18:08, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Namiba: You bring up immediate area. Somebody lives in 120 block of Pond Path in Centereach New York. What is across the street? Lake Grove New York. That person moves to Lighthouse Point, Florida 2900 block of 53rd street, that is less than two blocks away from Deerfield Beach. Oh and Lighthouse Point is the same zip code as Pompano Beach. Same person eventually moves to unincorporated Lantana, zip code 33462. 33462 zip code includes Hypoluxo, Atlantis, and two other communities. That person eventually moved to 33435 zip code or to Boynton Beach Florida. 33435 zip code includes Boynton Beach, Briny Breezes, Delray Beach, and a few other places. This person lived in three communities, but there are another dozen or so that are 'immediate area' as you would term it. I guess you think it right to categorize from all those places which would be about 10-12 assuming all of them have People from categories. Pedantic? Horse shit, it is being accurate....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:38, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It seems to be a sufficiently large category with 5 articles. Dimadick (talk) 19:44, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep Timrollpickering (talk) 10:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Category:Public finance of the United Kingdom" states that its head article is "Government spending in the United Kingdom". Our article on public finance states that it is the branch of economics that analyzes the public sector, which doesn't describe the category's contents. buidhe 02:08, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 12:28, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD) and, for the parent category, the spirit of WP:C2F
The Evening Standard newspaper in London recognizes one pub each year. The articles generally do mention the award but near the end of the article, not in the lede, and this doesn't seem defining since these are already well established businesses. The contents are already listified here. The parent category only contains an eponymous redirect. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 12:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C1, an unpopulated category
The Fiji Performing Rights Association is a copyright collective which hosts the FPRA Music Awards. We don't have a separate article on the awards and the only thing in this category is that same organisation article, Fiji Performing Rights Association, which doesn't belong. There's nothing here to categorize! The actual award winners are already listified here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The same scope of the articles. For example, there are no Category:Earthquake or Category:Disaster. 94.179.168.56 (talk) 00:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
