Category:TCDSB schools in TDSB properties

[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: delete. All articles were in the proposed merge target already. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:04, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The fact that a school may be operated by a Catholic school board, but located in a building that's technically owned by a public school board but leased out to the Catholic board because the public board isn't using it, is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic of the school. All of the schools here are already double-filed in the Category:Toronto Catholic District School Board parent as it is, so no upmerging is necessary.

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 02:07, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just four people, whose articles all already interlink directly each other anyway. This would be warranted if there were a lot of other people to file, along the lines of the ten notable members of the Category:Trudeau political family and the 21 notable members of the Category:Woodworth political family, but it's not automatically needed the moment just two, three or four notable politicians happen to be related to each other in ways easily addressed in body text.

The result of the discussion was: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 September 16. – Fayenatic London 13:23, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Poles and Polish citizens helping Jews in occupied Poland 1939-1945 to Category:Poles and Polish citizens helping Jews in occupied Poland
Nominator's rationale: The last bit is unnecessary but at the very least, it should use an ndash per WP:DASH (and consequently be Category:Poles and Polish citizens helping Jews in occupied Poland (1939–1945). ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:02, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Constellations

[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. Timrollpickering 14:21, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unlike other constellations, these do not have associated disambiguation pages, such as Ursa Major (disambiguation), so their meaning is pretty straightforward. As such parenthetical dabs are redundant, unless potential dab pages are warranted. Brandmeistertalk 19:45, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 02:10, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This one seems so obviously deletable that I had hoped it was a speedy deletion case. It literally only has one entry which is the article with the same name as the category making it effectively blank. A category with one member is not really a category is it? Sure, every category might start with one article before others are added but I see no indication that this is going in that direction. We do not need a category per article.

The result of the discussion was: split to Category:Chicken as food and rename to Category:Chickens. – Fayenatic London 08:30, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category names should be plural nouns unless they're collective, such as Category:Paper. Georgia guy (talk) 16:34, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per Category:Domesticated birds, Category:Ducks, Category:Monkeys, Category:Snakes, Category:Frogs, Category:Dinosaurs, Category:Sharks, Category:Ants, and just about any other type of animal named based on a common name. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 03:20, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Toronto Catholic District School Board trustees

[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: nomination withdrawn as the creator found evidence that the category had been erroneously emptied out of process by a blocked vandal, rather than actually being a SMALLCAT. Bearcat (talk) 23:18, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT whose only entry is a redirect, with no prospect of expansion. Serving on a school board is not a level of political office that constitutes notability per WP:NPOL, but instead with rare exceptions a person will only have an article to file here if they also held a more notable office at some other point in their career, so a dedicated category for just one redirect isn't warranted. Bearcat (talk) 16:32, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I could have sworn that when I created the category I had added at least a half dozen entries, perhaps more. It appears some were removed by a sockpuppet account (see this diff, for example). I've added four more articles to the category. Mindmatrix 22:42, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, never mind. That's the hard part of categories, it's only possible to judge what is in the category and almost impossible to determine what used to be there if you weren't yourself the creator or populator of it. Consider this withdrawn accordingly. Bearcat (talk) 23:18, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Palaces of Nizams of Hyderbad. – Fayenatic London 06:48, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Palaces of Nizam to [[:Category:]]
Nominator's rationale: Nizam is apparently not a place or a single monarch, but a title shared by a series of monarchs, Category:Nizams of Hyderabad. The title of this category needs to make its scope clearer. —swpbT 15:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would advise any of these : Asif Jahi Palaces or Palaces of Nizams or Nizams Palaces . Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 05:33, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[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 to Category:Ethnic Kyrgyz people and make it a disambiguation page. I will also split Category:Ethnic Kyrgyz people to Category:Ethnic Kyrgyz people (individuals) following a precedent at Category:Squamish people, where there was a similar need to disambiguate the primary term on its own.
For the record, I am also making a new Category:History of the Kyrgyz people. – Fayenatic London 12:59, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME —swpbT 15:42, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Except we already have Category:Kyrgyz people and Category:Kyrgyzstani diaspora to cover what this has suddenly been converted into since the last time I looked at it five hours ago — so it's still not necessary at all. Bearcat (talk) 23:29, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Categorize articles globally" isn't a thing we do. We categorize articles as specifically as possible, not broadly — for example, we file people in specific categories for their occupation and location of residence, not directly in Category:People.

  • Propose merging Category:Paris Massacre 1961 to all parent categories
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, next to the eponymous article there is only an image file. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 September 11. -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:10, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: /Alternative name: Category:Russian Empire law. There are many categories of the "[x]ian law" type and a few of the "Law in [x]" type but none in this form. User:Fayenatic london suggested the "in" one, I suggested the adjective-style one. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:12, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
