Category:Golfers from Leeds

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. The articles are otherwise in appropriate subcategories of Category:English golfers, Category:English swimmers, and Category:English cyclists. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:50, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per multiple CFDs, here[1], here[2], here[3], here[4] here[5], here[6], and here[7] just being seven examples, we don't subcategorize sportspeople from Foo town/city by the type of athletes they are. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:04, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There is a persistent pattern in this nominator's proposals of proposing mergers to only one parent, which has the effect of removing articles from one category tree. In this case, the nom's proposals would remove all these sportspeople from the crucial category, which is that for the sport in which they are notable.
Please, WilliamJE, can you ensure that future nominations avoid this error? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:44, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete; merge content as discussed. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:54, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: If all of the articles in the perm category and its subcategories were considered stubs, it would not be enough for half of the required article count for starting a stub category. Propose deleting category and upmerging template to Category:European football competition stubs. Dawynn (talk) 18:28, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:35, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Doesn't contain a single article, just the non-historical subcategory Category:Ukrainian women's rights activists. PanchoS (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per PanchoS. I now agree it is a rather redundant category. (I can not remember why I ever created the category....) — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 17:51, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Yulia Romero: no problem – we can easily recreate once there's more, and more specific, content. Regards, PanchoS (talk) 17:56, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maine religious building and structure stubs

The result of the discussion was: delete; merge contents as discussed. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:58, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Someone has cleaned up the Maine church stub category. Only 4 articles, and I can find no other stubs. The religious building category only adds two more articles. Propose deleting these two categories. Upmerge template ((Maine-church-stub)) to Category:Northeastern United States church stubs. Upmerge template ((Maine-religious-struct-stub)) to Category:Northeastern United States religious building and structure stubs. Upmerge both templates also to Category:Maine building and structure stubs. Dawynn (talk) 11:25, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - while the church category was once large enough (in fact, in a report from last November it had 64 stubs), it's now too small to keep. The religious building and structure category was never really large enough to keep without the church category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 19:44, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Williams family to Category:Williams family (Nigeria)
Nominator's rationale: Williams is a pretty common surname, and I doubt that this particular family would be the primary meaning. In the absence of an article about this family that we could match the category name to, I suggest disambiguating with a country of origin. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:12, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or, delete - this is merely a father + 2 daughters, neither of whom is named Williams. Oculi (talk) 17:47, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't disagree with deletion—but isn't that the point of family categories—to group people together who are part of the same family regardless of their surname? It's pretty common for women especially to change their surname during their lives, but they generally remain part of the same family after they do so.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Seems to be for exactly the same thing as Category:People killed in the American Civil War. Both categories were created within minutes of each other by the same editor; it's unclear what was intended in setting up one category as a parent for the other. I suggest deleting and redirecting to Category:People killed in the American Civil War. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:03, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
