Category:Trials in Great Britain

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:Trials in the Kingdom of Great Britain. Re: the deletion issue that was raised, if anyone would like to nominate the category for deletion (or dispersion to Category:Trials in England and Category:Trials in Scotland), feel free to do so. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:12, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Trials in Great Britain to Category:Trials in Great Britain (1707-1801)
Nominator's rationale: This category does not need to hold the subcategories Category:Trials in England and Category:Trials in Scotland, because it is an unnecessary level below Category:Trials in the United Kingdom. If it is to be used, it should instead be used to categorize all trials within Great Britain before its union with Ireland (1707-1801). —Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 22:56, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reply By that logic, then Category:Trials in the United Kingdom ought to be deleted also. It is not true to say that a few more constituencies were added to the Parliament of England to cater for additions from Scotland & Ireland. After the Treaty of Union in 1707, Acts of Parliament passed in the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland created a new Kingdom of Great Britain and dissolved both parliaments, replacing them with a new Parliament of Great Britain based in the former home of the English parliament. So only the meeting place was the same. That two legal traditions exist in the same state is not to say that trials - under either tradition - do not take place in that state. There were trials in Scotland. There were trials in England. And from 1707-1801 there were trials in the newly minted state of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT: author is redlinked and category is only populated by two articles (I tried and failed to find more). They don't appear to have described many other species. Limited potential for growth. For more info about this and related categories created by this user, see discussion here. Enwebb (talk) 22:29, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Armenian-controlled territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: delete, Armenian control was just a temporary status, so we should not categorize by it. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:55, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (not opposing the rename), Armenian control was just a temporary status, so we should not categorize by it. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, the fact that these places were occupied in the past is probably not defining. We have Category:Military occupation for articles about occupations themselves, but if we started to categorize articles about places (i.e. every town, village and field) by every former military power which once held them, there would be no end to that.

Orissa before 2011

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: option A rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:03, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Odisha, a state in India, was named Orissa until 2011. The parent chronology categories (option B) therefore use the name Orissa before that year. However, User:Johnpacklambert thinks we should use Odisha for all categories, and has created the establishments-by-year categories (option A). He opposes speedy renaming to match, hence this full nomination is required. – Fayenatic London 16:04, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the articles are, apparently, directly affected by this discussion, it might make sense to start an RFC. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • That was merely an observation: I am not suggesting that cfd should involve itself in the renaming of text within articles. Oculi (talk) 16:56, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • True. What I meant to say is an RFC may result in using either Odisha or Orissa throughout, i.e. both in the text of articles and in the article titles and in the category names. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:57, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting:
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING cause of death. Recreation of Category:Cardiovascular disease deaths, which was deleted at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 December 20#Category:Cardiovascular_disease_deaths. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:COVID-19 vaccination programmes to Category:Deployment of COVID-19 vaccines by country (consistency with the main article: Deployment of COVID-19 vaccines)

Nominator's rationale: Not entirely sure what is happening here, but this appears to be a category for people given an honorary title and thus non-defining. User:Namiba 02:57, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I read the talk page as you suggested. The problem was never that the category was too small since the award is given out widely; the problem was that it was only defining to Colonel Sanders. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:11, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Category:Caribbean Series managers also exists but was not included in this nomination. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:55, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:PERFCAT; this is a trial balloon for many of its sibling categories in the Category:Baseball players by competition. We recently got rid of a similar Super Bowl category (here) and a few other bicycle racing ones here and here. Ultimately, sportspeople play in numerous venues and events and our precedent is that this is not defining. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:28, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. And that goes both ways: if there are acting jobs that are generally long-term careers, that could be defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:49, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Knights of the Order of the Crown (Württemberg)
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Cross of Honour of the Order of the Crown (Württemberg)‎
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Commanders of the Order of the Crown (Württemberg)‎‎
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD, WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT)
When high ranking foreign leaders from visited the German Kingdom of Württemberg or vice versa, the Order of the Crown (Württemberg) is given out as souvenir. Alexander II of Russia, Ludwig III of Bavaria, George V, and Prince Charles of Prussia are not remotely defined by this award. (There are also a small percentage of local people like Prince August of Württemberg and William II of Württemberg but they are already well categorized under Category:Political office-holders in Württemberg, Category:House of Württemberg, etc.) There wasn't a list so I created a collapsible right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/"Listifying" Category:Recipients of Hilal-e-Kashmir
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:SMALLCAT and likely WP:OCAWARD)
The Hilal-e-Kashmir is an award issued by Pakistani-administered section of the disputed Kashmir area. There is only 1 article in this category, Saif Ali Janjua, which could use some further editor attention. I can't really say the category contents are "listified" but that 1 biography is already linked in right here in the main article. For what's it's worth, that 1 article does mention the award in the lede but since the award and 1 recipient already link to each other, this category doesn't serve a navigational function and I can't find any other articles to add. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
