Propose renaming Category:15th-century German theologians to Category:15th-century German Catholic theologians

Nominator's rationale: These are all Catholics. Rathfelder (talk) 22:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure they were all Catholics, but is it even necessary to add that in the category name? This is in a century before the Reformation had taken place and medieval Germans weren't Eastern Orthodox. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:00, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is to fit in the well established Category:Roman Catholic theologians, which goes back to the 11th century. I do agree that it doesnt seem helpful to call West European Christians Roman Catholic before the reformation, but my suggestion to do this on a country basis - so we would only use Catholic or Roman Catholic from the time when there was some other possibility - didnt get anywhere. Perhaps we should try again? Rathfelder (talk) 19:55, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After having looked at the content of Category:15th-century Roman Catholic theologians I am reluctantly supporting the proposal, just for consistency, not because I think it is needed. With the renaming, Category:15th-century Roman Catholic theologians should become the new parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support They are synonymous, but Being Catholic is defining in the 15th-century. If we did ever find a theologian who was Eastern Orthodox who in some way could be defined as a 15th-century German, it would make little sense to group him with the Catholic theologians. The target is accurate, and fits in the larger tree.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:29, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Heads of the Ramakrishna Mission to Category:Presidents of the Ramakrishna Order

Nominator's rationale: merge, the two categories apparently have the same scope, they contain nearly the same collection of articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:50, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Both serve the same purpose. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Maps of New Orleans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: There are no Wikipedia articles about maps of New Orleans. 2601:640:4000:3170:4C5:8BB:168D:5768 (talk) 18:35, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:17th-century Spanish theologians to Category:17th-century Spanish Roman Catholic theologians
Propose merging Category:16th-century Spanish theologians to Category:16th-century Spanish Roman Catholic theologians

Nominator's rationale: They are all, I think, Roman Catholics. Rathfelder (talk) 17:34, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How about e.g. Michael Servetus? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:14, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was wrong. There are a couple of Protestants. I withdraw these. I'll move all the Roman Catholics and then think about what to do with the residue. Perhaps we need Spanish Protestant theologians, though I dont think there are enough to divide by centuries. Rathfelder (talk) 20:41, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probably there is no need to do anything with the residue, they can just stay where they are now. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: option A, rename to Category:Warriors of the Maratha Empire. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:55, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Maratha warriors to either
- Option A: Category:Warriors of the Maratha Empire, for consistency with People of the Maratha Empire.
- Option B: Category:Marathi warriors, for consistency with Marathi people by occupation.

– Fayenatic London 16:43, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Either option is an improvement. If A, purging will be necessary. For example, Maloji Bhosale does not fit. On the other hand option B perhaps goes against WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:17, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support option A, and perge any who it does not apply to. Categorization by polity is the best course.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:YouTubers stub templates to Category:Computing stub templates

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Perhaps surprisingly, there is not yet a category:Biography stub templates hierarchy, otherwise this could also be merged to Entertainer stub templates. – Fayenatic London 16:33, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Academy Award winners and nominees by race or ethnicity to Category:Lists of Academy Award winners by ethnicity

Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, these are lists; and we do not categorize by race. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:09, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Really just a truth in advertising change to reflect current contents. - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:24, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. If there was a policy to avoid the word race in most of its uses I would happily subscribe to it. Racism does exist, but races do not. Place Clichy (talk) 09:56, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Marathi saints to Category:Marathi Hindu saints

Nominator's rationale: merge, the two categories have the same purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:45, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge There are not any Marathi people who are non-Hindu saints in this category. - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:23, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:21st-century female musicians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: now empty duplicate of Category:21st-century women musicians Robby (talk) 05:27, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It's me who created this category in line with its counterpart category "21st-century male musicians", without realizing that the counterpart appears as "women musicians" rather than "female musicians". That said, this is indeed a duplicate. Maybe we can consider making male-female/men-women consistent, if need be. Rasnaboy (talk) 06:16, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting Category:People with Axenfeld syndrome

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:SMALLCAT and, for now, WP:OVERLAPCAT)

Axenfeld syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which affects the development of the teeth, eyes, and abdominal region but the only article in this category is Jade Etherington. Ms. Etherington is defined by being a Paralympic athlete with a vision impairment but we already have Category:Paralympic athletes with a vision impairment so this category seems redundant in that particular case. The growth potential here is very limited because of the rareness of this syndrome: except for the namesake Dr. Axenfeld, I didn't see any other biography articles linking to this disorder. No objection to re-evaluating if we ever get up tp 5+ articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:People with prosopagnosia

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:TRIVIALCAT, WP:TOPTEN), WP:COP and WP:RS

Prosopagnosia or "face blindness" is a medical condition where the eyes functional normally but the brain has trouble recognizing faces and, according to that main article, 2.5% (1 in 25) of the generally population has it. This condition is clearly integral to portrait artist Chuck Close but the defingness of this category ends right there.

Multiple citations rely on a single source of a Top Ten clickbait gallery of celebrities, albeit a source that is reliable in other contexts. Other category entries are based on celebrities self identifying as being face blind in interviews, like with Steve Wozniak right here. The category contents are now listified right here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
