Category:Professional wrestlers from Calgary

- The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Stampede Wrestling alumni and cleanup. @Bearcat:, @Sillyfolkboy:, can you do the cleanup? Vegaswikian (talk) 21:04, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Vegaswikian: Done. Thanks for the heads up. SFB 23:27, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Per numerous past CFD discussions, consensus has been established that we do not create geographic sportspeople crosscats for individual sport intersected with individual city that the sportspeople happen to be from. It was proposed in a prior discussion that we treat wrestlers from Calgary as a special exception due to the prominence of the Stampede Wrestling promotion, but the problem is that not everybody associated with Stampede Wrestling was from Calgary and not every professional wrestler from Calgary was necessarily associated with Stampede Wrestling — so while a category for Category:Stampede Wrestling alumni would absolutely be appropriate, this category is actually tangential to the properly defining characteristic. Accordingly, here's my proposal:
- Create a new Category:Stampede Wrestling alumni;
- Recategorize the entries from this category which do belong in the new one, while removing the entries from this category which don't;
- Delete this category. Bearcat (talk) 17:59, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Support As the person who raised this particular point, I agree with the proposed outcome. Most of the people in the category will belong at the proposed title. However, I think this should also be an upmerge to Category:Sportspeople from Calgary, rather than a straight up deletion. Those trained at Stampede Wrestling in Calgary represent a uniquely important relevance to professional wrestling, given its prominence in establishing many of the sport's leading performers in the 1980s and 1990s. The training venue (Hart House (Alberta)) has been designated as a municipal heritage site, such is the impact of this group. SFB 12:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Saraiki cuisine

- The result of the discussion was: Delete. Note I did edit this category doing cleanup for various nominations. I do not believe that this disqualifies me from closing this. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:58, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Only one page (Saraiki cuisine) was included in the category, even though it better fits Category:Pakistani cuisine. The very existence of "Saraiki cuisine" is debatable at best - there are regional dishes in South Punjab, sure (like, mango dishes), but they are related to the region's botany and not to any ethnicity. The category is thus unlikely to ever contain anything else than the page with the same name. kashmiri TALK 16:38, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Cat contains more than just societies in the field of science, but also in history, philosophy, etc. Given its size, I don't see a need to create "Learned societies of Poland" separately with this as a subcat. Randykitty (talk) 09:21, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Frogs of New Zealand

- The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Amphibians of New Zealand. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Frogs of New Zealand to Category:Native amphibians of New Zealand
- Nominator's rationale: Renaming would reduce ambiguity and better accommodate future entries. First, there are no salamanders or caecilians in New Zealand, so all amphibians, native or introduced, are frogs (order Anura, which includes toads). Thus Category:Frogs of New Zealand is functionally identical to Category:Amphibians of New Zealand, and is ambiguous regarding introduction status. I believe sorting New Zealand's amphibians (all of which are frogs) by native/introduced status is more useful, and thus by renaming Category:Frogs of New Zealand to Category:Native amphibians of New Zealand, an unambiguous parallel to Category:Introduced amphibians of New Zealand is created. Another options would be to replace all instances of "Amphibian" with "Frog", but it's best to stay general, e.g. should a non-frog amphibian ever be introduced, it could easily be placed in the existing category. --Animalparty-- (talk) 07:47, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: keep. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 21:51, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: The only article cited in this category, relates to a politician who, according to the article, may have been charged for murder. There is no evidence cited in the article that the individual has been convicted of corruption. Dan arndt (talk) 02:31, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Note Since being nominated, another editor has emptied the category and I have recategorized it. RevelationDirect (talk) 13:20, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep & Populate This seems like a worthwhile subcategory of Category:Politicians convicted of crimes. I think most readers would care if the crime was related to office or was just coincidentally committed by someone with elected office. RevelationDirect (talk) 13:20, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep unlike some of these Foos convicted of XXX, not only is there a notable intersection (and a well-developed if not top-notch quality article: Political corruption), but that those convicted were politicians both at the time of offense and the time of conviction. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:41, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep
and question: is there a good reason to keep the two child categories apart? It doesn't look like they are clearly distinctive. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:41, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and populate Political office is open to corruption by design and it is the most common criminal charge against politicians. This is clearly of worth to anyone who thinks we should be categorising people by relevant concepts with a history spanning millenia. SFB 12:17, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and populate -- My Indian friend tells me that the papers there are full of stories about corrupt politicians. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:17, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American nondenominational Muslims
[edit]

- The result of the discussion was: Merge. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:50, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Is this a worthwhile category at this stage? There is currently one article in it, and there is no overall category scheme for nondenominational Muslims at this stage. As a comparison, non-denominational Christians are not categorized as such, they are simply placed in the appropriate "FOOian Christians" category. (If kept, it could be renamed to Category:American non-denominational Muslims to match non-denominational Muslim.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:40, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
