The result of the discussion was: delete (articles appear to be well categorized, and 59 Virginis was in exactly the same categories as the nominated category). Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Super Bowl champions

The result of the discussion was: delete. bibliomaniac15 19:49, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT. A similar discussion, Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_May_11#Category:World_Series_champions, deleted a parallel category in 2014. This was also discussed in 2014 but no consensus was reached. It would be defining for a given team to win the Super Bowl, it is not for each individual player. This is especially true given that any given player may or may not have even played in the game; for example, Trevor Bates was on the practice squad of New England when that team won the championship. User:Namiba 19:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I've added two similar categories: Grey Cup champions and American Football League champions. If you object, please let me know and I will remove them.--User:Namiba 18:24, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Given that today is the Super Bowl and this category has been nominated for almost 3 weeks, can this discussion be closed today?--User:Namiba 14:43, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in each category and not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:12, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Trecento composers etc.

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, except no consensus on Category:Trecento composers. So I will keep Category:Trecento composers as a subcategory of a new Category:14th-century Italian composers. Once articles have been appropriately categorized and we can see how much overlap there is, we could reconsider having both Category:Trecento composers and Category:14th-century Italian composers. (I know hardly anything about the subject, so please don't come at me with pitchforks.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:57, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination, which I nonetheless support slightly more subtle !vote below. This renaming was originally proposed by capmo at WP:Village pump (proposals) § Rename Trecento/Quattrocento/Cinquecento/Seicento/Settecento categories, where I advised that it was the wrong venue and suggested moving the proposal here; they decided that the discussion was better-suited to WT:WikiProject Categories § Rename Trecento/Quattrocento/Cinquecento/Seicento/Settecento categories, where it was supported by me and pythoncoder, but closed again as the wrong venue by Redrose64. Posting here to finally allow discussion in the right place.
Original nom's rationale: The [...] categories should, in my opinion, be replaced with their plain English equivalents [...] Someone who doesn't know the Italian art of this period won't have to guess what Seicento means. It's worth noting that not even the Italian Wikipedia uses this rather cryptic convention: it:Categoria:Compositori italiani

  • Johannes Ciconia worked most of his life in Italy while it is unclear whether Sant Omer belongs in this category at all. The question is not whether "14th-century Italian composers" is a common term, we simply diffuse all composers by nationality and century because there are too many composers for one category. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:12, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Aza24, I will defer to your knowledge on this! But then I think we still have a problem, because Category:15th-century Italian composers and all the later ones are being treated as synonymous with the appropriate "-cento composers" categories, as evidenced by the fact that the former redirect to the latter. So I suppose the way to resolve this is to de-redirect the numbered-century categories, and use them for their literal purpose of Italian composers from that century; then use the "-cento" categories for composers associated with the cultural era?

Category:American sportspeople of Lebanese descent

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: there is consensus that the nominated category should be deleted. There is no consensus on whether the contents should be merged to Category:American people of Lebanese descent. So defaulting to "merge" in order to retain the status quo with respect to the information categorizing articles by Lebanese descent. As a result, Category:American sportspeople of Arab descent can be deleted as empty. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Created a banned user, this is a non-defining intersection per WP:OCEGRS. Lebanese Americans have no unique history of involvement in sports nor has it been covered as its own unique topic. Category:American sportspeople of Arab descent would be empty if this is deleted.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:29, 26 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.
In particular, military personnel are expected to die in the line of duty. That is not murder.
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.

  • I assume that absent a war crime, it's justifiable homicide and/or self-defense, actually. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:58, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:TOFIL Awardees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The TOFIL Award is given by the Junior Chamber International for business people in the Philippines. The articles are for people that are already notable and they generally don't even mention the award so it's clearly not defining. The current contents are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Philosopher's Annual Prize winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:TOPTEN and WP:OCAWARD)
The Philosopher's Annual picks the top 10 best philosophy papers of that year according to the editors. Usually we associate such end-of-the-year Top 10 lists with popular culture (best movies, best dance songs, etc.) but this announcement has the same vibe. The articles mention this award only in passing so it doesn't seem defining. There wasn't a list, so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
