Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a geographic region that doesn't have an article. I cannot find any properly sourced indication that this actually exists as an official geographic region with clear and objective boundaries -- rather, it seems to exist only as a loose concept that ropes in almost anything within about 100 kilometres of Prince George that people want to throw in.
If there aren't any officially defined boundaries to objectively set what does or doesn't belong in a category for it, then by definition it isn't defining enough to qualify for a category. Bearcat (talk) 20:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: "Seii" is a plural word, therefore "Romans" rather than a vague and unclear "Rome" will make it easier for one to realize that this category is about multiple people. NB Category:Helvii (Romans). Avilich (talk) 20:19, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category that doesn't provide a genuinely helpful distinction from its parent. The category usage note describes it as "relating to practices or firms which offer shopping and delivery services for groceries and similar products without maintaining warehouses or kitchens or otherwise being in the grocery or restaurant business" -- so at least in theory, the distinction would be that an "online grocer" actually has its own grocery warehouse, while an "online grocery delivery" just provides the technical infrastructure while the groceries themselves come from a different company. But that's an opaque distinction to the end user -- the average internet shopper neither knows nor cares whether they're shopping from a "grocer" or a "grocery delivery", and is only concerned with whether the groceries arrive in good condition and timely fashion or not. And furthermore, the distinction isn't actually being upheld all that well at all, as two of the five articles in this category are double-filed both here and in the parent category directly alongside each other. The distinction here is in the back room, not the public-facing front of house, so there's no real point to having two separate categories. Bearcat (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: club has been renamed from Montreal Impact to CF Montréal. Category and subcategories should be renamed to the new name RedPatchBoy (talk) 16:14, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know the procedure, but the club had that name for 28 years versus a few days for the new name. Should we just create a new category moving forward rather than rename the existing one?--User:Namiba 16:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The current name Category:Washington Redskins is the parent category and Category:Washington Football Team is the subcategory. Off hand, I can't think of another team that changed names without moving. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is standard with soccer for the categories to be moved to match the new team name, rather than create new categories. GiantSnowman 22:45, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. No notable WP:DEFINING link between the occupation and the manner of death. Not commonly and consistently expected as a professional hazard or qualification. There may have been many years between the occupation and the death, making the link even weaker.
Note: Sources about the death of a person will often discuss both their occupation and their cause of death. This doesn't make this intersection any more notable than a combination with other aspects often discussed in such notices, such as their number of children.

  • Really. You opine that all sex workers are commonly to be murdered? In any case, something that cannot be confirmed is by its very definition not notable; WP:SPECULATION is not encyclopedic.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 10:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the homicide risk of sex workers (street prostitutes in particular) is absolutely something which is significantly-covered-in-multiple-reliable-sources; it's a topic of substantial discussion in sociology, criminology, and all other intersecting fields. WP:SPECULATION is irrelevant here, because the cases of "unclear if someone was killed by a client or not" relate to notable unsolved murders -- something unrelated to that policy. ("Callgirl X was found murdered on the Xth of Y in the year ZZZZ by an unknown assailant, with different detectives and researchers suggesting Serialkiller A or Pimp B" is not WP:SPECULATION, although, say, "Callgirl X was definitely murdered by Random Guy C, read my book on why" or "The cops will soon uncover that Serialkiller A was the murderer" would be.) Vaticidalprophet (talk) 19:36, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, there are a many more sex workers than you think, and most are not street walkers. As a percentage, they are less likely to be murdered than taxi drivers, truck drivers, or cops — and far less likely to be murdered than Blacks. Plus, their deaths are much less likely to be thoroughly investigated.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 02:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would prefer you not assume how many sex workers I think there are, how many of them I think are street walkers (or, for that matter, black), or whether my argument this is a meaningful association is based on 'dime-store-novel theories'. The murder rate for sex workers is notably higher than the murder rate for women as a whole; I suspect the analysis you're drawing from here is significantly impacted by the fact 80% of homicide victims are male. I would also consider 'murdered police officers' a non-trivial intersection, of the examples you give. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 07:29, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • We already have separate categories for serial killers. Wish that dime-store-novel theories were less prevalent here at wikipedia.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 02:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Typically? Look at the actual contents of the category. Murder during robbery. Suspected of murder by serial killers, rarely proven. Wish that dime-store-novel theories were less prevalent here at wikipedia.

  • Most of the articles in the category are "Wikipedia:Featured and good topic ...". It should have a trailing 's' as a set parent category (athough the main article does not). Also it probably could be C2C, as most of the subcategories are also "Category:Wikipedia featured topic[s] ..." and "Category:Wikipedia good topic[s] ...". In any case, there's really no dispute.

  • With an excessive amount of categories (but not in this case) we may ask someone at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks to do the tagging after we have created the full list of categories in the nomination.

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Premio Bartolomé Hidalgo
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Premio Bartolomé Hidalgo claims to be the "most important literary awards in Uruguay" which sure sounds defining ... until you actually click on the category and look at the articles. Fifty Shades of Grey, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and The Fault in Our Stars are not remotely defined by this award. Even among Uruguayan writers like Fernando Butazzoni and Susana Olaondo, the articles are about evenly split between those that mention the award in passing and those that don't mention it at all, so it's not defining for them either. There wasn't a list so I created on right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:09, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:NCR Book Award winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The NCR Book Award was a very prominent British literary award that was rocked by scandal when it was learned that judges were picking winners based on synopses rather than reading the whole book. (The bar for what qualifies as a "scandal" in literary circles seems much lower than, say, the music or construction industries!) But the award was cancelled and whatever cultural prominence it once had evaporated. The category contents are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:09, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
