Category:Languages of Palestine

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 (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:08, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This duplicate seems to have been overlooked when most sibling categories were renamed to use State of Palestine, e.g. in this discussion, this one or this one. Looking at the content, there does not seem to be an obvious reason to differentiate between languages spoken in the State of Palestine or another understanding of the delimitation of the region: most pertinent content is duplicated in the two categories.

Category:Twelvers

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT, since 85% of Shias are adherents of Twelver Shi'ism, this category will ultimately lead to a dump of the large majority of Category:Shia Muslims and all of its subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:24, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only two articles. Note that the target has been nominated for renaming to Category:People under the Buyid dynasty. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Poet is not an office, there is no guarantee of notability. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:24, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The office bit is just an example. Sure there is, poetry in that region and era is one of the most notable things there are. Which is also why there are 7 articles now. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:17, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Exo (band)

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:04, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Subcategories - Category:Exo (band) EPs‎, Category:Exo (band) albums, Category:Exo (band) concert tours, Category:Exo (band) members and Category:Exo (band) songs would be moved as well. I propose this rename as the article is called Exo and so usually the categories should reflect that. --Ferien (talk) 11:51, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Comics genres

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: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:39, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the same concept. There is no note about differences between the categories, and much of the content overlaps (ex. both have entries on adult comics, crime comics, etc.). After merging, wikidata/interwikis may need some cleanup (probably through the merger of the relevant WD pages). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose for renaming, possibly merging or deletion Category:Graduated of the St. Petersburg Mining Institute (until 1917) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This is presumably an attempt to split the alumni of what is now the Saint Petersburg Mining University into pre- and post-revolutionary parts (there is already a Category:Saint Petersburg Mining University alumni). For starters it should probably be something along the lines of 'Saint Petersburg Mining Institute alumni (pre 1917)'. But there is more that is perhaps problematic. In 1866 it received the name "Mining Institute" and in 1896 the name "Empress Catherine II Mining Institute". With the Bolshevik success in the October Revolution, in 1917 the imperial name was dropped and it became just the "Mining Institute" again. In 1924 it became the "Leningrad Mining Institute". It has changed name nine times since then. What name is best to group the pre-1917 names into one category? Saint Petersburg wasn't part of any of the names until 1992 when it became the "G. V. Plekhanov Saint Petersburg State Mining Institute". Should it just be 'Mining Institute alumni (pre 1917)', or is that too ambiguous? Is the '(pre 1917)' part still required? And ultimately, is it even desirable to divide the alumni into pre- and post-1917 categories anyway? Spokoyni (talk) 08:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Digital collectible card games. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:44, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category seems to completely overlap and be about the exact same thing as far as I can tell. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge. I concur this is the same concept. One could argue that there are some card games where there is no 'battle', but that's a pretty Orish argument. The term "card battle games" does seem to exist, but until it is properly defined with reliable sources, and someone can point out to a CCG that does not involve some form of battlin (which can be defined as a competition...), I support the merge. (We also don't have an article on card battling, and in the category this term is piped to CCGs...) Btw, food for thought.
