Nominator's rationale: The German-American Soccer is the same as the Cosmopolitan Soccer League is was just renamed. I think it makes sense to redirect the category to the present name. Shotgun pete (talk) 16:03, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: What do these districts have to do with Artsakh? These districts are Azerbaijani administrative divisions, whereas the Republic of Artsakh had different administrative divisions in the same territory, which were known as the provinces of the Republic of Artsakh.

Nominator's rationale: Not defining, among other things. Mason (talk) 04:43, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Adding to my rational as I believe that the literature categories are very much not defining (and concede that I was overzealous in also nominating their parent category). This category (and the poetry) category sit at a really odd intersection that I don't think is useful for navigation, when compared to "American literature by ethnic background‎ ". Like why does American literature in the Irish language‎ belong in "immigrant" languages as opposed to the parent. I could see a case for American literature by language, but the current category effectively isolates all the American literature not written in English (or native american languages...). Why immigrant languages specifically? Mason (talk) 23:44, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Narrow overcategorization. We don't have any Category:Entomologists by century tree for these to be a part of, and the creator filed just one person in each of these without making any effort to follow through on recatting any of the other Category:German entomologists. If there's any desire to start subcategorizing entomologists by century the way some (but not all) occupations are, that would have to be undertaken as a comprehensive project across the corpus of all entomologists, with basic Category:18th-century entomologists, Category:18th-century entomologists and Category:20th-century entomologists parents in place first and subcategories by country following second -- but if there's no community will to get that done, then these aren't needed as isolated special cases.

Category:People from Armant

[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: merge to Category:People from Luxor Governorate. No prejudice against recreation when the category can be populated sufficiently. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 21:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Small category for just one person. As always, every town or city on earth does not automatically get its own "people from X" category as soon as there's one person with an article to file in it -- there have to be five people from Armant before a category is warranted, and below five they should just be categorized at a higher divisional level like the governorate.
A quick scan of Armant's "what links here" failed to find four other people, however -- admittedly I didn't comprehensively check every article, but after finding one person who linked to Armant in a different context other than being "from" it and four articles that looked like they might be personal names but instead turned out to be other towns or villages when I looked at them, I gave up.
So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with a lot more knowledge of Egypt than I've got can find four more people to properly populate this with, but it's not needed for just one person. Bearcat (talk) 12:39, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: upmerge as this is a very small category, i'd be thrilled if we got to critical mass of folks to populate the category Mason (talk) 05:00, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: vague and undefined Mason (talk) 01:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There was a discussion of this family of category. The sense was that this category could work as a container category. However, it doesn't seem to be used in that manner. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 June 6#Category:Innovators. I'll tag the main category, and then see how folks are feeling, before tagging more of them Mason (talk) 01:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
