The result of the discussion was: dual merge Category:Motorsport venues in New Orleans to Category:Motorsport venues in Louisiana and Category:Motorsport in New Orleans; delete Category:Motorsport venues in the United States by city. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Subcat: Category:Motorsport venues in New Orleans
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary granularity. Not only is there a scheme by state, there are only a few dozen entries total and how many racetracks can any city have? The only entry now is for one city with one track. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:15, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge to Category:Western Sahara stubs and the relevant biographical stub parent category. -- Black Falcon (talk) 00:02, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Scanning all of Category:Sahrawi people for stubs produces just 15 articles - not nearly enough for a stub category. The entire Category:Western Sahara stubs category contains less than 100 articles in all of its sub-categories. These category splits are not needed at this time. Keep the templates, but merge up to Category:Western Sahara stubs. Delete both categories. Dawynn (talk) 18:26, 11 September 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: keep (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This doesn't bother me a whole heck of a lot, but I feel I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that printworthy is not a word. I can't find any attestations in any major dictionaries, and it appears to only have social media/blog-related usage online. Textworthy, on the other hand, is attested. I know it would be a bit of a pain because there's a lot of links and usage in WikiProjects and such, but the discussion ought to be had at least. Pariah24 (talk) 18:26, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The term textworthy in nearly every case refers to written or printed text; not digital media. Typically, the purpose of jargon is to provide a name for novel things that are not easily accommodated by existing language. This is less a case of needing jargon, and more an example of a perfectly good existing term that was passed up for whatever reason. I could call an article a "WikiArticle", or a protected page "unnewbworthy," but why would I? Pariah24 (talk) 23:29, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly while thinking more on it I'm starting to oppose my own proposal just on the basis of not wishing to put someone through the work of re-coding all the rcat templates. I'll close the discussion in a while if nobody else has anything to add. Pariah24 (talk) 21:27, 14 September 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: keep Gurgaon categories, rename Yamuna Nagar categories. This is a confirmation of the latest status quo, since the Gurgaon have been renamed back during this discussion, while the Yamunanagar have been kept at their new name. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:04, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Categories related to Gurgaon
Categories related to Yamuna Nagar
Nominator's rationale: As the district name is changed by government, so I renamed all these categories. But at that time i dont know that we have discuss before renaming categories, but if decision after discussion comes that all those changes are wrong, I'll revert them myself or you can help me too. ― 1997kB 17:55, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Law in the Russian Empire. -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:04, 7 October 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]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisted from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 August 14. There is a weak preference for Law in [X] (e.g. Law in the Russian Empire) over Law of [X] (e.g. Law of the Russian Empire) or [X]ian law (e.g. Russian Empire law), and a slightly stronger preference for the Russian Empire over Imperial Russia. However, Category:Law in the Russian Empire would be inconsistent with every other category in Category:Law by country. I am hoping for some additional discussion, insights, and/or preferences.

  • Marcocapelle They appear to fit only at first glance. The more notable Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (which held quite a few notable tournaments) merged with this Global Force Wrestling and took their name. Those tournaments actually don't belong to this GFW, this GFW held not notable tournaments. The articles were placed in this category by good faith editors who got confused by the name change.LM2000 (talk) 06:15, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: OPINIONCAT. Is also underpopulated. Many members are alive. Worse, if they are like Doug LaMalfa where sourced content verifies opposition to a certain affirmative action bill but not necessarily affirmative action generally, then there could be justified complaints filed to the BLP office. Seriously, the category must go.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  03:20, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic London 13:11, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: /Upmerge to parents. There's no scheme of Category:Botanists active by state in the United States and Category:Botanists active in North America doesn't need diffusion. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:30, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please note just the article counts in parent cat. Category:Flora of California (2,047, compared to other U.S. states [at only double to triple digits] in Category:Flora of the United States by state & other N.Am. countries/regions in Category:Flora of North America); and additional totals not in parent cat. under Category:Endemic flora of California (1,146), Category:Flora of the Sierra Nevada (U.S.) (1,116), Category:Natural history of the California chaparral and woodlands (1,304), and others.
Very active botanists/taxonomists working, often primarily or exclusively, on California flora for over 200 years distinguish the CA botanists cat. from all N.Am. botanists active somewhere from the Yucatåan Peninsula to the Arctic/Alaska to Florida. Category:Botanists active in North America does need this diffusion, by article counts more than the (also worthy) subcontinental Category:Botanists active in Central America & Category:Botanists active in the Caribbean. Let us please retain the category. — Look2See1 t a l k → 08:38, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The category currently has 46 pages in it, although some shouldn't be there, as they aren't botanists, but organizations or publications. The parent category has 98 pages. Since there's an overlap of 14, upmerging would result in a category with 130 pages, or 124 if the 6 are removed that shouldn't be there given the title of the category. I'm generally in favour of smaller categories, but I accept that 124 is on the margin for requiring diffusion.
    My preference is to clarify the title of the category, since it doesn't really mean the state, and then accept that it's a worthwhile subcategorization. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
