Category:Indian clerics‎

[edit]
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. (Based on recent results, it may be desirable in terms of consistency to now nominate Category:Indian clergy for merging to Category:Indian religious leaders.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:49, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge as the two categories have the same purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:24, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So what am I arguing? Clergy is Christian-specific and Cleric should be used as a more general category, rather than eliminating Clerics and putting all nonChristian religious leaders in a Clergy category. Liz Read! Talk! 15:21, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: upmerge. Despite the fact that Varanasi is a Hindu holy city, it seems more like a triviality when a religious leader was born or lived in this city. No other Indian cities are categorized like this. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:27, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy rename C2A. A dish of cold fish is on offer for the contributors at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 June 23 who omitted to support this. – Fayenatic London 07:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Renaming to reflect the name of the legislative body in 1961, as well as to fix a glaring typo uncorrected in the previous nomination. Oh No! It's Faustus37! it is what it is - speak at the tone 21:59, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:11, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: overly specific and under-populated; we don't even have a Category:Science journals by publisher. Fgnievinski (talk) 20:38, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename Ceylon categories to Sri Lanka, keep Category:1804 in the Kingdom of Kandy. — ξxplicit 07:22, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Option 1
Option 2
Nominator's rationale: Merge one way or the other. At Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 June 11 it was agreed to use "Sri Lanka" before the colonial eras began in 1505, and "Ceylon" for the British colonial period 1815–1948 and the Dominion of Ceylon period 1948–72. That leaves a long period of intermittent and partial colonial interests, for which the naming has yet to be decided. Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) strongly objected to the first line of option 1 as a Speedy nomination, on the grounds that "At that time the place would have been known as Ceylon or Zeylan. It was under the control of Europeans who were clearly using these names." However, that does not appear to apply to the Kingdom of Kandy in 1804, for which we have an article on an establishment. – Fayenatic London 10:56, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Corrected. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:35, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
all pre 1815 years be named Sri Lanka, as per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 June 11.
1815–1948 years be named British Ceylon while keeping Sri Lanka as the main category, and
1948–72 years should be named Sri Lanka, but rather Ceylon. The Dominion of Ceylon and British Ceylon were two different entities, basically one is a colony and the other an independent state. The dominion and Sri Lanka are essentially the same while there is more of a difference between the Dominion and British Ceylon.--Blackknight12 (talk) 15:00, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Although expressed as a comment, this appears to be a !vote for option 1 in this CfD, as it is about the 1800s which were not covered by the June 11 CFDs. (The argument for using "British Ceylon" post-1815 was already rejected there.) – Fayenatic London 18:14, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We may just end up doing an RFC at Category talk:Establishments in Sri Lanka by year to clarify all this. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:37, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Prehistoric Czech lands

[edit]
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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:51, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename, corresponding to Category:History of the Czech lands. Although most of Category:Prehistoric Europe uses "Prehistoric Foo", a few others use "Prehistory of Foo", and it would sound better here. – Fayenatic London 09:56, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well I think a little investigation would dispose of that idea. We have an awful lot of archeological articles, but their editors are generally remarkably unready to integrate them by categories outside the archeological tree. Johnbod (talk) 17:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
