Category:Populated places in the Naledi Local Municipality, NW

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:47, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The disambiguation in the current name is to distinguish it from Category:Populated places in the Naledi Local Municipality, FS, because there used to be two municipalities with the same name in South Africa. However the "FS" municipality no longer exists and its category will shortly be deleted as CSD C1. Thus the disambiguation is no longer needed for the "NW" category. htonl (talk) 21:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nondenominational secular schools in Australia

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: delete (merge unnecessary). Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:46, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We do not categorize secular schools as such, in Australia or elsewhere. This criterion is probably not defining for them (except if you consider religious schools to be the default form of education). Also, if they are secular, I do not really see how they could be denominational; the use of both terms nondenominational and secular therefore seems redundant. Note that these articles (4 in total) were moved from Category:Nondenominational Christian schools in Australia. I have no opinion regarding the secular vs. Christian character of these individual institutions, which should be discussed at article level, but that's probably not a good way to categorize them.

Category:Buddhist religious leaders

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: no consensus. There wasn't much enthusiasm for the proposal, but neither was it vigorously opposed. Perhaps a new nomination could gain a consensus for change. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:30, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge as the distinction between "religious leaders" and "religious workers" is unclear and "religious leader" lacks an objective definition. Why would mystics and revivalists be placed in the leaders category instead of in the workers category? Why would ascetics, missionaries and teachers be placed in the workers category instead of the leaders category? (Note that the ascetics subcat mostly contains Buddhist monks who are also in the leaders category.) Those questions aren't satisfactorily answerable. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fayenatic london: feel free to disagree. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And are mystics and ascetics workers? That doesn't quite make sense to me either. If you feel there is a real need to merge these two categories, might it not be better to merge them both into a category with a different, more encompassing name (~ perhaps something like "Buddhist religious figures" or "Buddhist religious personalities" )? Chris Fynn (talk) 12:45, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The question at stake is whether to keep this as one or as two categories, so that is a different question. Even if the current(!) wording is not ideal, that will not be solved at all by cancelling this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:25, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "religious leaders" seems to work reasonably well in a modern, especially American context, but it doesnt feel right in organised religions. Rathfelder (talk) 18:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:41, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. The Baptist Centre is the building hosting this Baptist denomination, and Baptist Missions is a department hosted in the building. This is probably not a reason to create categories with reciprocal inclusion for each and every one of these few inter-related articles. Note that the headquarters building is currently the only building in the churches category. Other appropriate parents are already present at article level (such as Category:Denomination headquarters in the United Kingdom and Category:Baptist missionary societies).

Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. It is probably not defining for someone to be associated with a religious denomination if they are not members. In this case, the only content where membership may not be obvious is Category:Irish Baptist College people, but the 2 articles there (Hugh D. Brown and Hamilton Moore) are described and categorised as members of this church. Place Clichy (talk) 08:03, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Awkward and excessive categorization. Being a best-selling author surely is a notable characteristic, albeit weakly-defined itself. Placing onto the NYT Best Seller list is more specific, but not particularly defining. This would be a cumbersome and uninteresting category. I am also not aware of any similar existing categories for biographical articles. Οἶδα (talk) 07:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Han Buddhism

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: merge (selectively) as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:34, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: selectively merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Han Buddhism is a redirect to Chinese Buddhism and that article is in fact about Buddhism in China, which in category space is already covered by Category:Buddhism in China. Note that Category:Han Buddhism also covers a little content about Buddhism in Japan (the article Kusha-shū and Category:Buddhism in the Ryukyu Islands), but that should obviously not be merged to Category:Buddhism in China. While Buddhism spread via China to Japan, Buddhism in Japan is not specifically considered to be a subset of Chinese Buddhism (rather, Japanese and Chinese Buddhism are both considered to be a subset of East Asian Buddhism). Merge the two subcategories per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Members of Pratt's club
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT
Pratt's is a gentlemen's club in London and this category contains 4 articles: two don't mention the membership at all (1, 2), one does mention the club but as president not just a member (3), but the 4th article really shows how this approach can lead to category clutter: Prime Minister and Social Butterfly Harold Macmillan's article has a whole section called "London clubs" and that article appears in this category based on this sentence:
He was also a member of Buck's, Pratt's, the Turf Club and Beefsteak Club.
The category contents are now all listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Treaty of Nanking
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING
The Treaty of Nanking was an unequal treaty where China was forced to allow extraterritorial concessions in major cities where Western citizens would not be subject to Chinese law which lasted from 1842 to 1943. This category consists primarily of major cities that had enclaves like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Nanjing but these are major world cities that don't seemed defined by this century long period for specific neighborhoods.
In any case, it is the concessions themselves that are important to each location not the treaty which is why we already have Category:Concessions in China to categorize by this topic. But it's not quite an issue of WP:OVERLAPCAT because that tree has more specific articles like Shanghai French Concession so readers can find articles defined by this period. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
