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: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:35, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Basically empty since it only contains the main article. No similar categories exist (i.e. U19 leagues in other countries). Pichpich (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Death customs by country

The result of the discussion was: merge all. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:15, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, Indian category contains 1 cat + 1 article, Pakistan category contains only the same article. I noticed only two more pages in Category:Death customs that could be added into the India category, which IMHO is insufficient to make it useful. If those two country categories are merged, then the parent will contain only Category:Burial monuments and structures by country and Category:Cemeteries by country, making it an unnecessary layer. – Fayenatic London 13:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Contains only Category:Day of the Dead food, which is in the sibling Category:Day of the Dead. – Fayenatic London 13:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

St. Gallen

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 per option B. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 07:38, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
OPTION A: use "town"
9 subcats: "St. Gallen" → " St. Gallen (town)"
OPTION B: use "city"
9 subcats "St. Gallen" → " St. Gallen (city)"
Nominator's rationale: to remove ambiguity.
The Swiss city/town of St. Gallen appear to be the primary topic over the eponymous Canton of St. Gallen. However, the ambiguity should not be replicated in the cateory names, because ambiguous category titles cause miscategorisation which is hard to detect. The undisambiguated title should be converted to ((Category disambiguation)) pages.
Note that the lede of the head article describes St. Gallen as a town, but it is categorised in Category:Cities in Switzerland. I currently have no preference between the two disambiguators, so long as some disambiguator is used, so I have listed both options: OPTION A and OPTION B.
Examples of similar disambiguation of city categories include:

Category:People's Republic of China articles missing geocoordinate data

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 03:31, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per China/category:China, as established at Talk:Chinese civilization/Archive 26#Requested_move_August_2011 which decided that "China" would refer to the People's Republic of China.
We already have a separate Category:Taiwan articles missing geocoordinate data. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:17, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By century

Category:32nd-century BC Pharaohs Category:31st-century BC Pharaohs Category:30th-century BC Pharaohs Category:29th-century BC Pharaohs Category:28th-century BC Pharaohs Category:27th-century BC Pharaohs Category:26th-century BC Pharaohs Category:25th-century BC Pharaohs Category:24th-century BC Pharaohs Category:23rd-century BC Pharaohs Category:22nd-century BC Pharaohs Category:21st-century BC Pharaohs Category:20th-century BC Pharaohs Category:19th-century BC Pharaohs Category:18th-century BC Pharaohs Category:17th-century BC Pharaohs Category:16th-century BC Pharaohs Category:15th-century BC Pharaohs Category:14th-century BC Pharaohs Category:12th-century BC Pharaohs Category:11th-century BC Pharaohs Category:10th-century BC Pharaohs Category:9th-century BC Pharaohs Category:8th-century BC Pharaohs Category:7th-century BC Pharaohs Category:5th-century BC Pharaohs Category:4th-century BC Pharaohs

Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT, Category:Pharaohs is already grouped by dynasty which provides relevant timeframe. Also, Category:Rulers by millennium already contains subcats for relevant times. Brandmeistertalk 09:31, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:39, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, there is just one article about a building in this category. For reference Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy is a village on the island of Saint Barthélemy on which some 10.000 people are living. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:44, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:18, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant container category as it contains only one subcategory. There is no need to merge because the subcategory is already part of Category:Buildings and structures in St. Gallen. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:National Heroes
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME
This groups awards together based on whether the name of the award has "National Heroes" in the title when translated into English. National Heroines and Heroes of Nicaragua, Category:Ancient Greek heroes, and National Heroes of Sri Lanka all have different inclusion criteria, different cultural contexts and different native languages. The proper place for similar names is in this disambiguation page. (There are several communist era awards related to Hero of the Soviet Union so no objection if someone wants to work on a more narrow main article and category.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Nyttend backup: A Hero of the Soviet Union was the top award for the USSR and was absolutely defining so a lof of Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War as well as former Soviet countries in the present immitated that by creating similarly named awards. (How defining those namesake award are varies a lot.) My guess is that was the intent of this category was to group those together which is potentially reasonable and the category just got filled with similarly sounding junk since there was no main article to define the inclusion criteria. As far as your broader suggestion, I'm open to creating a top award per country award but I think we would need separate ones for military/civilian. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:01, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is my native language but the article is not sourced. As far as the category is concerned, I am not convinced of keeping, it is a borderline sharedname issue, even more after it appears not to be an exclusive Eastern Bloc thing. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Halls of fame in Denmark
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Danish Sports Hall of Fame inductees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:DEFINING) and, for the parent category, WP:C1
Wikipedia doesn't have a main article for the Danish Sports Hall of Fame. The awkward Google translation of their web site describes itself as a "gallery" but I'm not sure if that means a physical museum or a web gallery. I clicked through many of the articles and didn't see any that even mention the award. This award doesn't seem defining but it could work as a list. Normally I listify the winners in the main article but, since there isn't one, I put them here on the creator's talk page so no work is lost. (There are no other contents in the parent category but no objection to recreating Category:Halls of fame in Denmark if that list article or other content is created.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
