Category:People in cannabis

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 first category to Category:People involved in cannabis, merge the second. The current name of the category is clearly faulty and there is consensus to change it. Outright deleting the category failed to garner enough support to execute the proposal. ℯxplicit 00:39, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:People in cannabis to Category:People and cannabis
  • Propose renaming Category:Women in cannabis to Category:Women and cannabis
Nominator's rationale: It seems "and" expresses better association here than "in", which implies they are inside it or are growing in it. But open to other options. Brandmeistertalk 23:26, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not too sure about merging. The subcategories do have in common that they are about people. The parent category Cannabis contains all sorts of different things. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:29, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That particular category appears to be for people actually in an a/i - not for people who have a different connection (e.g. aircrash investigators, air-safety campaigners...). DexDor (talk) 19:25, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Egyptian Muslim historians to Category:Egyptian Muslim historians of Islam
  • Propose renaming Category:Indian Muslim historians to Category:Indian Muslim historians of Islam
  • Propose renaming Category:Ottoman Muslim historians to Category:Ottoman Muslim historians of Islam
  • Propose renaming Category:Persian Muslim historians to Category:Persian Muslim historians of Islam
  • Propose renaming Category:Andalusian Muslim historians to Category:Al-Andalus Muslim historians of Islam
Nominator's rationale: rename by adding "of Islam", in accordance with this earlier discussion. And in addition there is a small improvement in the name of the Al-Andalus category, consistent with Category:People of Al-Andalus. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated, save for the New Zealand category, where the first of the three proposed targets will be excluded. ℯxplicit 00:39, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
:Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. (Note, actually I'm not too sure about the third merge target, e.g. to Yemeni Muslims, especially in countries with an overwhelming Muslim majority). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters who died from a drug overdose

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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 20:11, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To match parent category Category:Drug-related deaths, to comply with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction (by not using the past tense for fictional events) and for clarification - at least one character in the category died by having her drink spiked by a drug that killed her, but not necessarily an overdose. —anemoneprojectors— 16:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 June 22#Category:Fictional characters who have self harmed. ℯxplicit 00:39, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Fictional characters who have self harmed to Category:Fictional self-harmers
Nominator's rationale: Firstly, self-harm is hyphenated. There is no parent category for real-life self-harmers, but people who self-harm are referred to as "self-harmers" in the self-harm article. Additionally, the use of past tense in the category title goes against Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction. —anemoneprojectors— 16:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Fictional students who have had a relationship with a teacher to Category:Fictional teacher-student relationships
Nominator's rationale: The title currently goes against Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction by its use of past tense for a fictional event. I am also proposing that the category be expanded to include articles for the teachers involved as well as the students. However, if anyone is in disagreement that the teacher and student be combined into one category, then it should be renamed to something like Category:Fictional students who have a relationship with a teacher. —anemoneprojectors— 16:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is a high school football all-star game. No notable athlete would mark playing in it as a career high point. TM 11:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete per nom and WP:DNWAUC. Category:American players of American football etc are sufficient categorization. DexDor (talk) 16:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of categories
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorisation. As far as I'm aware, we don't usually create "<profession> born in YYYY" categories. DH85868993 (talk) 09:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
