Category:Jewish doctors

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. Almost all of the !votes for not merging amounted to a view that the split was useful. As noted, that quite a subjective standard. Conversely, those in favour of merging cited a guideline, WP:OCEGRS, and these categories seem to come squarely within that guideline. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is historical justification for Category:Jewish physicians, but not for splitting it into medical specialities. If this is agreed I am happy to check that all the articles are in appropriate subcategories of Category:Medical doctors by specialty and nationality Rathfelder (talk) 11:09, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Usefulness is a very vague and subjective criterion. The criterion of WP:OCEGRS is: the intersection is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. Which is not the case here. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except for anatomists, this nomination concerns modern medical specialities (not medieval or early modern), it is very unlikely that Jews do anything different here. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:59, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Century Association
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT
The Century Association is a private supper club in New York City. The only other article in this category, Charles Reid (painter), cites is obituary that he joined the club in 1988 (and has a painting hung up there) but that's a pretty weak basis for a category. WP:SMALLCAT isn't an issue though as the main article lists other members like Dwight D. Eisenhower and Franklin D. Roosevelt; rather the problem is that simple membership in a private club is just not defining and won't aid navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:People for whom the U.S. Navy named ships
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:SHAREDNAME
The U.S. Navy names ships after prominent (usually) deceased Americans baving streets, schools and ships named after someone is not defining and creates a category with nothing else in common. I can't imagine a Wikipedia reader who would want a direct navigational path between John F. Kennedy, Sacagawea and the Wright brothers. This might work under Category:Lists of ships of the United States so I copied all the category contents right here so no work is lost if another editors wants to start a list. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But this category just groups biographies together regardless of when a ship was named and can't show that naming policy evolution like an article could with dates and citations. I made a copy of the contents because I agree there's a potentially notable topic here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:47, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
