Category:Impact craters on Deimos (moon)

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. Per Marcocapelle, the category can be recreated if more articles are written. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:49, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:SMALLCAT, this category has only two subjects and will not get more for the foreseeable future, and its scope is entirely covered by the broader category, which itself has only two subjects currently. Also, no corresponding category exists for the craters of Phobos. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:43, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the category does not overlap with anything. A separate category for Phobos could be created. And I disagree with WP:SMALLCAT anyway. A category with two members if fine. And there are prospects for further naming of craters and writing of articles in decades to come. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:28, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Phobos has seventeen named craters, so a separate category for it could indeed be created (if those craters ever receive articles). Deimos has only two named craters at the present time (although there are more unnamed craters), so there is limited space to grow at this time. Perhaps the smallcat can be justified by general utility? Furius (talk) 11:40, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: 2-article category, likely WP:SMALLCAT, with a politcal motive regarding gender reveal parties. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:20, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. WP:SMALLCAT only disallows categories that are structurally impossible to grow. That's not the case here; future gender reveal wildfires are possible and arguably not unlikely. No explanation of the alleged political motive or how it would counterindicate this category. DefaultFree (talk) 00:52, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:54, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "People" is too vague to be useful in applying the category only where it satisfies WP:DEFINING. There has been a long-term WP:NPOV problem growing out of the fact that PETA uses trivial endorsements by celebrities as a way of promoting itself, and editors inappropriately apply related categories to celebrity pages in a manner that pushes that POV. There was an earlier, related CfD discussion of this at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 April 4#Category:Animal rights advocates. Recently, I removed the BLP of a fashion model from this category, where the category had been applied simply because she once posed nude for a PETA advertisement (having appeared in countless other ads as well, none of which generated categories). I've pruned the current category membership to people who have actually held positions in the PETA organization, which is an appropriate use for the category. The proposed rename from "people" to "personnel" (or perhaps something equivalent) would make it clearer what the category is really for. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:45, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge unnecessary layer which holds only one sub-cat. If not merged, rename to Category:Set index articles on Ukraine following Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 September 14#Category:Set indices. – Fayenatic London 12:25, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, can be upmerged. Ymblanter (talk) 07:14, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Your reasons. The Thari and Dhatki people are the same and is even written on Thari people, merge to Category:Thari people.

Nominator's rationale: merge, the Ayyubid Sultanate ceased to exist halfway the 13th century. The article in the category is about Abulfeda, a later Ayyubid ruler of the city state of Hama, who happened to be a historian as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:56, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
