The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 20:02, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Maintaining suck a difference between defunct and former teams for a league that folded more than a century ago isn't beneficial. (Especially as of now only two teams exist.) Armbrust The Homunculus 16:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drainage basins

The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac15 18:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I propose to rename these categories to the pattern "X basin", in line with most other categories for river drainage basins. Markussep Talk 12:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the word "River" is sometimes used as disambiguation (which is clearer when it's in parentheses, like the Vantaa example), but it's not part of the name of the river, at least not in these cases. I don't think any confusion about the basin is possible in cases where a city and a river share the same name. Markussep Talk 18:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note - elsewhere 'drainage' was added, in 5 cfds on the same day starting with Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_February_4#Category:Congo_basin. Oculi (talk) 23:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, I just started a discussion for that at WT:RIVERS#Article_titles_for_rivers_in_Russia,_Ukraine_and_Belarus. Do you mean that if a river is ambiguous with e.g. a city or a surname and is therefore at "X (river)", the related categories should include "(river)" as well? Markussep Talk 19:05, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, good point, this discussion can be closed then. Depending on the outcome of the discussion at WT:RIVERS, I'll use WP:CFDS then. Is it OK if I list Category:Dnieper River system for speedy rename now, or do I have to wait until this discussion is closed? Markussep Talk 08:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suppose it's alright to have Category:Dnieper River system on CFDS right now. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:37, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Dnieper appears to be a valid speedy. Category:Don basin which illustrates the perils of this approach would be a speedy in another direction. Oculi (talk) 18:46, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • If it is decided to abandon the "X River" scheme for rivers in Russia, Don River is likely to be moved to either Don (Russia) or Don (Sea of Azov) (or Don (river) as primary river topic). I suppose the category shoud be moved accordingly then. Markussep Talk 06:54, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Timrollpickering (talk) 20:05, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per the article Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons as well as List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters, in both they are referred to as "monsters" rather than creatures, making the current title inaccurate. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:22, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:British Cycling Hall of Fame inductees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The British Cycling Hall of Fame was founded in 2009 and has wall plaques in the Manchester Velodrome (see here). The vast majority of these articles mention the award in passing with others, maybe a fourth don't mention it at all and 3 mention it in the lede so it doesn't seem defining. (In contrast, the Tour de France and Olympics are universally in the intro, if applicable.) We already have the winners listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:DeMolay International Hall of Fame members
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD and WP:OCASSOC)
DeMolay International is a Masonic youth organization for boys/men aged 12-21. This award is given to men who, decades later, become politicians, astronauts, celebrities or are otherwise prominent. The success of people like Paul Harvey, John Steinbeck and Bill Clinton seems to have little direct connection to this group or Free Masons generally though. The contents of the category are already listified here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
