  • Do we really need to break down the people in this town by occupation? People are more likely to want to navigate between all people from this town. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:09, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep partly as creator. But mostly a keep because this is part of a much larger people from foo by occupation scheme throughout the US and I believe many other countries. Including two other such sub categories for the people from city cat here. The above arguments and similar ones have been have been rejected time and again. If I recall we had a big discussion on this like a decade ago and it was decided then that basically the last part of WP:OCLOCATION allows for this to breakdown larger categories. In essence, don't do it for three actors (since that violates SMALLCAT), but once you get to say 10 (as I have never seen a category deleted per SMALLCAT with ten entries or more), then do it, inline with WP:DIFFUSE. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:10, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Upmerge after depopulating — most don't even mention they were sportspeople in this town, instead seem to be automatically based upon birthplace. That was explicitly forbidden in WP:OCLOCATION, specifically for sport. Categorize by place they were active. A pro-baseball player who grew up elsewhere and didn't even attend high school or college here isn't "from" Newburyport. An olympic racewalker who raced elsewhere as an adult isn't "from" Newburyport.

• In principle I agree that categorizing people by city or town is not very helpful for navigation between related articles. I cannot imagine wp users reading articles about people from place X just because they are from place X. But this requires a much broader discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Depopulated. Only one was actually raised and performed here. The rest all left the county or state as children. WP:NONDEFINING WP:OCLOCATION WP:OCTRIVIA. Broad discussion was already completed years ago, see WP:COP-PLACE: The place of birth, although it may be significant from the perspective of local studies, is rarely defining from the perspective of an individual. The residence of parents and relatives is never defining and rarely notable. The place of death is not normally categorized....

• Propose renaming Category:Murder victims by country to Category:People murdered by country

• Category:Murdered people by country and [[:Category:Murdered <bar> in <foo>]]

Nominator's rationale: C2C: all the subcategories are "People murdered in <foo>", match {Commons category|People murdered by country}.

Moved from Speedy.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 15:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. In fact, the subcats are all "People murdered in", which obviously doesn't apply to this container cat, which is why it has a different name. "Murdered people by country" would be better English, but, frankly, best of all is the current title, as "murder victims" is the WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Doubt "murder victims" is the WP:COMMONNAME, especially as that is contrary to the "Commons category" across all wikipedias.

1. Opposed to renaming all the subcategories to "murder victims".
2. Agree that "murdered people" sounds like marginally better grammar, but this is a people category.
3. Fairly recently moved "Murdered sex workers" to "Sex workers murdered", so consensus is running the other way.
4. Is anybody proposing renaming all these subcategories "murdered people"?

William Allen Simpson (talk) 15:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I meant that "murder victims" is by far the commonest name in the actual real world. The reason it's not used in the subcats is that just because someone is murdered in a country doesn't mean they came from that country (e.g. "British murder victims" and "People murdered in the United Kingdom" are not the same thing). However, see Category:Murder victims by nationality. "People murdered by country" is just not good English. As to Category:Sex workers murdered in the United States, that's clearly better than Category:Murdered sex workers in the United States. These are just not the same situations. And the parent cat is Category:Murdered sex workers in any case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to google ngrams, "murdered people" and "people murdered" were most common as far back as it goes. Heck, "murder victims" doesn't even show up until after 1960, and the knee of the graph is roughly 1984 (Reagan era), and it is declining. So "murder victims" is ultraconservative or reactionary verbiage. That's contrary to WP:NPOV.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: the above discussion indicates the "by country" suffix is grammatically problematic as a sentence. But that's what we've been using for nearly 20 years. I'd prefer we pick something consistent, rather than some "<bar> murdered" alternating with "murdered <baz>". Yes, I know, "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
  William Allen Simpson (talk) 17:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Having "murdered" before "by" suggests these people were murdered by a country, so that is not ideal. On the other hand Category:People by country in which they were murdered is technically more correct but it is very verbose. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:32, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Agreed. Shorter Category:People by country where murdered, but that wouldn't work for the subcategories either. Instead, swap them back, as "Murdered people by country" and matching "Murdered <bar> in <foo>" are less of a problem. Big job, could be done in phases.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 21:43, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Murder victims by country fits with Category:Murder victims and Category:Crime victims by country. People murdered by country sounds like the people have been murdered by a country. I don't see the point in changing Murder victims to Murdered people. By definition, a murder victim is a person. Category:Murdered <bar> in <foo> is confusing because it sounds like the murdered people are currently in that country. I don't think Wikimedia Commons is the example to follow – there's much more participation on Wikipedia, and I would imagine it would be more likely that Commons would take Wikipedia's lead.

• Upmerge Category:Decommissioned nuclear power stations → Category:Former nuclear power stations
• Upmerge Category:Decommissioned nuclear power stations in the United States → Category:Former nuclear power stations in the United States
• Nominator's rationale: Are there stations which are former but not decommissioned (or vice versa)? Other countries have only the "Former" category, not the "Decommissioned", so why does the US (and parent) have both? At the very least it would seem that most former stations are decommissioned, so if it is worth noting the 1% which are former but not decommissioned then make that the subcat, rather than the 99%, because it will be less likely that confused editors like me will mistake the parent for the child. The grandparent Category:Nuclear power stations by status suggests the categories are autopoulated by ((Infobox nuclear power station)) but I think that is no longer true:
  • that template was merged in 2010 to ((Infobox power station))
  • twiddling the status field in the infobox doesnt change the category
  • the articles I've checked have the category manually included.

jnestorius^(talk) 19:20, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• The table in Nuclear decommissioning#List of inactive or decommissioned civil nuclear reactors suggests that lots of former nuclear power stations have not been fully decommissioned (yet). The question however is whether decommissioned status is defining enough to warrant a separate subcategory and I do not have an answer to that question. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Upmerge — for consistency. No other country in Category:Former nuclear power stations has this WP:SMALLCAT split.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:G7 summits. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 22:14, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Group of Seven to Category:G7 and G8 summits
• Propose merging Category:Group of Eight‎ to Category:G7 and G8 summits
• Propose merging Category:G7 summits to Category:G7 and G8 summits
• Propose merging Category:Group of Eight summits‎ to Category:G7 and G8 summits

Nominator's rationale: merge, G7 and G8 are largely overlapping (many articles are about both) and they are mainly known for their summits, with the consequence that a separate summits subcategory adds very little value. As a aside, this merge avoids the awkward full writing of Category:Group of Seven and Category:Group of Eight which are far lesser known terms than G7 and G8. Earlier, a speedy rename request was declined. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:36, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Renaming/Neutral on Merger G7 and G8 are what these are known as. I favor following the main article in general and, even if I didn't, in this case "Group of Seven/Eight" is too obscure to aid navigation. (Whether or not these should be merged, I defer to other editors.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:41, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment G7 became G8 for a short period as a result of Russia participating. However effectively it was a single series of summits, renamed for the extra country. For alumni categories we do not create categories for renamed institutions; likewise sports teams, so that there is a logic in having category Category:G7 even for the period when it was G8. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• When merged, I would also be okay with Category:G7 summits as the target. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:TVOntario people to Category:TVO people

Nominator's rationale: Speedy rename: Consistency with main article's name Mvcg66b3r (talk) 05:14, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per WP:PERFCAT. Of the 3 articles I looked at, Piya Chattopadhyay and Royal Galipeau don't seemed defined by the association while John Labow does. Would love to hear from other editors more familiar with the topic though. (If retained, the exact name of this category should match the rest of the tree.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete obvious WP:OCASSOC issue. I'm most reminded of when I took Category:WRAL people to CfD in 2020. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:03, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale Rename all of these categories to make it clear they are user categories, follow standard naming conventions, and consolidate duplicates. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:57, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I support the first proposal. All the others should be merged into Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: La Trobe University - Oral Health. There is no need for separate categories for specific years. --Bduke (talk) 03:52, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  No objection to that alternate proposal. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:37, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Support. Agree with Bduke, no need for separate years - GA Melbourne (talk) 14:29, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Current show jumping seasons (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not used for a while. Checking Category:Show jumping by year last time it could have been used was in 2017 and only for 1 article. Thats not enough to justify this category. "Cat:Current sports seasons" would work just as good. Pelmeen10 (talk) 01:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
