The result of the discussion was: Keep. Timrollpickering 16:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category basically overlaps with Category:Massacres in Turkey - there's no need for two categories at this time. Seraphim System (talk) 15:21, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sexuality and computers

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: rename to Category:Sexuality and computing. There is some willingness to consider a wider category as nominated; that could be added as a parent category. – Fayenatic London 07:11, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Sexuality and computers to Category:Sexuality and technology
Nominator's rationale: Over-specific category; broadening the definition of this category a bit will make it much more useful. Techology and sexuality is a much wider topic than just computers and sexuality, going back to before the invention of computers. Consider, for example, call girls, made possible by the telephone, or the vibrator and electrosex, which both pre-date the invention of the computer. "Computers" is much too specific; more or less any modern technology involves computers, but is not necessarily a "computer technology". For example, the Internet is primarily a communications technology, even though it is implemented using computers, in much the same way that newspapers are primarily a communications technology, not a wood or pigment technology, although they are implemented using both. The same goes for telephony, cars, navigation, and so on: all now use computers, but are not "computer technologies". -- The Anome (talk) 11:53, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People associated with the Bengal Renaissance

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: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 August 23, with notification to projects. – Fayenatic London 07:49, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF and WP:OCASSOC, hardly any of the articles in this category even mentions "Bengal Renaissance". Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can see room for a new Category:Young Bengal leaders. But as far as the 50 articles in the navbox concerned, most of these articles do not mention "Bengal Renaissance" except in the navbox. That does not make it defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that Derozian redirects to Young Bengal. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:57, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • This makes no sense - the two things are different, which is why they have two articles. So why restrict the category to those from the smaller part? And the Indian and Bangladesh projects should be informed, rather than just Europeans with no knowledge of the area meddling in it! Another area of the BR was Brahmoism (but not plain Brahmo), and its later splinter groups, which many articles mention. You can be sure not every bio in the "Italian Renaissance" tree includes those words. Johnbod (talk) 21:53, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very few people in this category are defined as a Brahmoist. Some are of a Brahmoist family but that does not count as a defining characteristic if they were not active in Brahmoism themself. The Indian and Bangladesh projects are informed by the project tags on the category talk page. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's always a highly dubious argument - Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh/Article alerts averages less than 1 view a day. Johnbod (talk) 19:45, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. ℯxplicit 06:01, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCASSOC, as the header of the category page already indicates this is a hodgepodge category. The existence of Category:Australian Labor Party politicians‎ should be sufficient. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, these are people associated with an anti-austerity movement in different countries, they do not have a relationship with each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That would not solve the problem that the articles of this category are very unrelated to each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:09, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:People associated with Anonymous to Category:Anonymous (group) activists
Nominator's rationale: rename and purge per WP:OCASSOC, this is currently a hodgepodge category of people associated with Anonymous in very different ways. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:45, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Wikipedian document markup users to Category:Wikipedian markup language coders or Category:Wikipedian markup language writers
Nominator's rationale: I am proposing two changes: (1) to align with the title of the main article, Markup language; and (2) to replace "users" (which we all are) with a more active descriptor such as coders, writers, etc. (Category creator notified using Template:Cfd-notify) -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
