Sailing by class

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/rename most. While the discussion did not make this clear, I think the only one here not approved is Category:Sailing by class since that is the only one discussed, so that is a keep.Vegaswikian (talk) 19:17, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge/rename following names of main articles, see in Category:Olympic sailboat classes. The parent is unnecessary and can be merged to the latter. This is a follow up nomination after a discussion at WP:CFDS, but the last entry here is not eligible for speedy merging. – Fayenatic London 23:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Categorizing Wikipedians for something they may potentially do is (IMO) taking user categorization too far. If kept, this should be renamed to something more meaningful such as "Wikipedians who have expressed an interest in ..." or "Wikipedians who have been invited to join ..." (although I'm not sure that the latter is the sort of category that should be encouraged). DexDor (talk) 22:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Having won this award is a WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic of its recipients (e.g. Martha Watson). See WP:OC#AWARD. DexDor (talk) 22:02, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be better to create a list article instead? There may be recipients who are not notable enough to have their own articles in any case. For example Sister Frederica Horvath of the Sisters_of_Social_Service. To me, the existence of the award is important, if largely forgotten. This was one woman's effort to highlight the efforts of women who were taking part in the affairs of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mellen22 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you have a WP:RS that can be used to create a list then please go ahead. The articles I looked at made no mention of this award in the text (let alone a prominent mention with cite) so it would not be appropriate to use the category contents as the basis for creating a list. DexDor (talk) 06:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A decision to delete a category does not indicate that a list can't exist. DexDor (talk) 22:06, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose upmerging Category:Ancient Roman forts in Hunedoara County to Category:Ancient Roman forts in Romania
Nominator's rationale: because of WP:SMALLCAT and because no other county categories exist within the parent Romanian category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:27, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Paintings by Paul Gauguin. As this would empty the parent category Category:Tahitian art, I am going to put the five current members into that category as well; however, this is not part of the consensus, so feel free to remove this category if it is considered inappropriate. – Fayenatic London 09:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Tahitian paintings to Category:Tahitian paintings by Paul Gauguin
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Tahitian paintings may imply those made by native Tahitian artists, while currently the category contains solely Gauguin's paintings. The proposed name is somewhat provisional, may be there's an established name for Gauguin's Tahitian period, but I didn't find it during quick search.
