Propose renaming Category:Naval mutinies in fiction to Category:Fiction about mutinies

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF. I also believe it should be moved up a category and be a subcategory of Category:Mutinies instead. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:44, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Human rights abuses by period to Category:Human rights abuses by century; to be a subcategory of Category:Crimes by century,
Propose renaming Category:Crime in Australia by time to Category:Crime in Australia by century similar to Category:Crime in Norway by century, and as a subcategory of Category:Crimes by country and century,

Nominator's rationale: Both these categories relate to the last three centuries, and renaming will integrate them into a series, rather than being “orphan” categories. Hugo999 (talk) 04:01, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alt merge to Category:Human rights abuses by period to Category:Human rights abuses, there are only two centuries. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional weak support for renaming Category:Crime in Australia by time to Category:Crime in Australia by century if the decades and years subcats are then moved to Category:Crime in Australia. Otherwise rename to "by period" which is the standard phrasing in the category tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Decent streamlining of the category tree. Dimadick (talk) 04:43, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I intend to add the decades and years subcats for Australia as for other countries. And most of the crime breakdowns by decade or year by country etc relate to the last three centuries. Hugo999 (talk) 22:27, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then "by period" would be the more appropriate parent. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:56, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the first, as its "internment camps" sub-cat contains non-century periods. Rename and repurpose the second per nom, but to plural "crimes" i.e. Category:Crimes in Australia by century; I have nominated the siblings for other countries at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 June 8#Category:Crimes by country and century. Cf. consensus for "Crimes by decade" at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 December 21#Category:Crimes in Europe by decade. – Fayenatic London 14:28, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Support merging of Category:Human rights abuses by period into Category:Human rights abuses (which may be renamed!). But re Australia, all the other countries apart from Australia (e.g. Category:Crime in Norway by century which is parented on Category:Crime in Norway (which may be renamed!) and I think Australia should follow suit. Hugo999 (talk) 05:28, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- The only 20th century human rights content is internment camps. Whether these were or were not a human rights abuses is a POV issue. The internment of enemy aliens in wartime is a matter of national self-defence. Its implementation may be so heavy handed as to be an abuse, but internment is not an abuse per se.

Propose renaming/merging Category:Works by date to Category:Works by period
Propose renaming/merging Category:Works by period of creation to Category:Works by period

Nominator's rationale: rename and merge, "by period" is the standard format of these types of categories (e.g. Category:Arts by period, Category:Literature by period, Category:Architecture by period) and there is no reason to have two of these categories. If this goes ahead, I presume that the "by date" and "by period of creation" subcategories can be speedily be renamed to "by period". Marcocapelle (talk) 13:54, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose it's works by date. The date category tree is by date. Periods are a subset of dates. The Baroque Period is a period, 1842 is a date, not a period. -- 64.229.88.43 (talk) 14:52, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1842 is not a date, it is a year, which is a period. All other year categories are part of a "by period" tree, e.g. Category:Arts by year is part of Category:Arts by period, Category:Literature by period is part of Category:Literature by period. This is a WP:C2C nomination if it weren't for the fact that it concerns two categories simultaneously. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:59, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose To take a random example; "Piano concerti of the Classical period" and "Piano concerti of the Romantic period" (is that how the categories are named? do they even exist? whatever, the idea is the same no matter what the categories are) is a meaningfully separate way to distinguish these than "Piano concerti by date of composition" RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:35, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If they would exist they can be perfect siblings of the by year category. Check for example Category:History of Canada by period with subcategories both Category:Pre-Confederation Canada and Category:Years in Canada. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nomination. Category:Works by period of creation seems to have been created by user:Stefanomione to separate named-period categories from date-based categories. I find this separation unnecessary. That user has since been banned from category activity and much of his work has been reverted. – Fayenatic London 09:22, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I feel this distinction is entirely valid and should be retained, as per similar comments above on this item. --Sm8900 (talk) 17:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Date is not a synonym for historical period. Dimadick (talk) 06:24, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but is a decade or a year a date or are they a period? I would say the latter. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:05, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:French mission settlements in North America to Category:Catholic missions of New France

Nominator's rationale: The current name gives the mistaken impression that is it meant to include missions started by French-Canadian and French-American priests after the fall of New France. The note on the category page makes it clear this category is for missions in New France only. A separate category will need to be create for "French missions" created after the fall of New France. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 16:21, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest -- Category:French mission settlements in New France might be better, but the present proposal would do. I would guess that the political situation prevented new "settlements" after 1763. Peterkingiron (talk) 09:47, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:Banks based in Texas. In theory the category should be split to Category:Banks based in Dallas and Category:Banks based in Fort Worth, per Category:Companies based in Dallas, but it looks as if the category is not big enough for that split. If the category is not merged, by all means rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Breton women to Category:Medieval Breton women

Nominator's rationale: rename, save one article (to be purged) these are women of the medieval Duchy of Brittany. After renaming the category can be reparented to Category:Medieval Breton people. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge overdue categories, the duchy of Brittany lost its independence halfway the 16th century, and rename or merge the parent category for less ambiguity. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Bengali-language newspapers published in the United States to Category:Non-English-language newspapers published in the United States and Category:Bengali-language newspapers

Nominator's rationale: One of several 1-page subcategories of the listed merge target; I will bulk nominate all of them if this one closes as merge. Should also be merged to Category:Bengali-language newspapers. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 20:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - hiding the one article among 70-odd articles in Category:Bengali-language newspapers (presumably all published in Bangladesh) and making Category:Non-English-language newspapers published in the United States less useful seems a retrograde step. Oculi (talk) 21:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:Bengali-language newspapers, currently the grandparent. The parent has subcats for Pakistan 1 item; UK 2; US 1. All these should be merged there, leaving "by country" to cover only India (largely West Bengal) and Bangladesh.

Nominator's rationale: rename to align with Category:Animated television characters by gender and Category:Animated television characters by series. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: These renamings may well be correct and helpful, but note that there is a parent Category:Animated series which has a main article Animated series and also encompasses sub-cats for other media namely Animated web series, Animated film series and Anime series. It already has cross-media subcats for Pink Panther and Transformers, and probably more could be added. The latter are media sub-cats rather than character sub-cats; nevertheless, after the renamings, it is possible that some of the current categories might be justifiably re-created for cross-media franchise characters. – Fayenatic London 10:08, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
