Nominator's rationale: Chitral District was split into Upper Chitral District and Lower Chitral District in 2018, so we will need to split. This split will be needed to carry out the outcome of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_22#Category:Chitral_District for the main category, Category:Chitral District; the other subcategories, to my understanding, would belong in both Upper and Lower Districts' categories. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 18:36, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Heavenly attendants in Jainism to Category:Jain minor deities

Nominator's rationale: In line God_in_Jainism#Devas, these beings are generally called deities in English. Deity being a being who is worshipped; which these beings enjoy. While Digambaras detest the worship of these beings, Shwetambaras and some Digambara sects do worship these beings. There are per se not "attendants" Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:18, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this What they mostly are is Hindu deities adopted into Jainism in some capacity. Just "Jain deities" is rather misleading, I think. It should be Category:Jain minor deities at most, and perhaps Category:Heavenly figures in Jainism is better. Johnbod (talk) 20:25, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, Padmavati (Jainism), Chakreshvari, Ghantakarna Mahavir, Gomukha etc. which are instrincically Jain (not in Hindu literature) are often called Jain protective or guardian deities. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:40, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but as I'm sure you know, these later additions (mostly blow-ins from Buddhism or Hinduism) are not universally accepted, and should in particular be distinguished from Category:Tirthankaras, who are not exactly deities but much more important and universally accepted. Hence my proposal. I see by the way that this category isn't even in Category:God in Jainism, unlike the Tirthankaras. Johnbod (talk) 23:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, Please refer Jainism#Rituals_and_worship and Deity#Jainism - deities are specifically referred. Terapanthi Digambaras limit their worship to tirthankaras; however other major sect of Shwetambaras and some Digambara sects do worship them. Wiley p.74 Deva (records two kinds of God - Tirthankaras - the highest and the rest), p. 237 Yaksa - the word deities is used. The category was removed [1]. Cort pp. 61, 91-94 talks of the liberated gods (Jinas or Tirthanakaras) that Jains worship for moksha and unliberated gods like Padmavati, Ghantakarna Mahavir worshipped for wordly purposes. Mishra, Susan Verma; Ray, Himanshu Prabha (2016), The Archaeology of Sacred Spaces: The temple in western India, 2nd century BCE–8th century CE pp.140-7 uses "gods", "goddesses". This should be part of Category:God in Jainism. We cannot be biased to Terapanthi Digambara POV. See Digambara#Sub-sects and Śvētāmbara#History regarding worship of deities, gods, goddesses. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:38, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:Yakshas and purge what does not belong there. As User:Johnbod notes, these yakshas aren't specifically venerated in Jainism but also in Hinduism and Buddhism. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge to Yakshas Marcocapelle, not all Jain deities are yakshas; Ghantakarna Mahavir is a vira (protector deity) for example; others like Saraswati, Ganesha are Deva (Jainism).--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:06, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ghantakarna Mahavir is (by exception) specifically associated with Jainism, this article should be moved to Category:Jainism. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:20, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Marcocapelle, How do we handle:

Naigamesha, primarily a Jain deity less important in Hinduism, who is not a yaksha.
the various Hindu deities incorporated in Jainism - Ganesha, Saraswati, Bhairava (Nakodaji), Chamunda#In_Jainism. Besides the Wikipedia links with references that already use the term "deities". https://jainpedia.org/themes/practices/deities/ (though not a RS). Johnbod and Marcocapelle, can we close with Category:Jain minor deities. The category name as it is - not accurate.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 14:13, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: underpopulated cat where the intersection isn't defining Mason (talk) 21:00, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just delete, all three articles are still in an occupation category from the Principality of Neuchâtel. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:49, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose: the Principality of Neuchâtel is a former country, like the Republic of Venice, the Republic of Geneva, or the Soviet Union. It lasted for a least 500 years, and this type of categories, such as Category:Bankers from the Principality of Neuchâtel, Category:Philanthropists from the Principality of Neuchâtel, Category:Merchants from the Principality of Neuchâtel, or Category:Geographers from the Principality of Neuchâtel, are completely justified, even if they now contain only a few entries: there is a clear potential of growth in each of them. --Sapphorain (talk) 21:44, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sapphorain can you speak to why the intersection for Protestants is defining in this pricinpality? Mason (talk) 19:29, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I see no evidence that this is a defining intersection. (t · c) buidhe 04:38, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not a defining intersection. Note that Wikipedia categories are organized along simultaneous geographic and historic logics. That means it is sometimes tempting, however counter-productive, to split every topic into every possible intersection of geography and history. Neuchâtel was a state of the Holy Roman Empire, and an ally of Swiss cantons, before joining the confederation. So it is not like Venice or the Soviet Union, which were independent countries not part of any wider empire. Neuchâtel topics are part of the history of Switzerland, and often the best solution for navigation help is to place content in the appropriate Swiss category, in addition to a high-level e.g. Category:People from Neuchâtel.

The principality was not part of Switzerland (yet) so "Swiss" may be off. Presumably it still belonged to the Holy Roman Empire. See Canton of Neuchâtel. Merge somehow because these categories have mainly been set up for a single article. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that worst case, we can manually merge to the best fitting occupational parent.Mason (talk) 19:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Just like the Republic of Venice, the Republic of Geneva or the Soviet Union, the Principality of Neuchâtel is a former country. It lasted for a least 500 years, officially as a principality from 1504 to 1815 (and even 1865 as the King of Prussia wouldn’t give it up…). This type of categories is perfectly justified. First because there is clear potential of growth due to the very long period of time they cover. Second because merging them with Swiss categories would introduce an unnecessary anachronism (and merging them with plain Neuchâtel categories would do exactly the same, as these are subcategories of Swiss categories). --Sapphorain (talk) 09:24, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think I get it: you mean the intersection of the two categories in which these ones are proposed to be merged? The problem is that the intersection of "People of Neuchâtel" and of "Swiss Suchandsuch" does not contain "Suchandsuch from the Principality of Neuchâtel" simply because the Principality of Neuchâtel was not Swiss.--Sapphorain (talk) 09:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I think I understand the disconnect. So the question isn't whether People of Neuchâtel is worthwhile, but what is the added value of Explorers combined with people from the Principality of Neuchâtel is worthwhile. In other words, what makes Explorers from Neuchâtel meaningful, compared to just having two separate categories? Mason (talk) 12:40, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The added value would be, for a citizen of the Principality of Neuchâtel who was an explorer, of describing him or her with one very precise and correct category, versus (if the present proposition is followed) two categories, one very approximative and one quite false. If "Explorers from the Principality of Neuchâtel" is suppressed, then according to the present proposition, this individual would be categorized by "People from Neuchâtel" (approximative) and "Swiss Explorers" (false).--Sapphorain (talk) 21:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

... One other solution could be to merge all these categories, which already contain 5 people altogether, in one category "People from the Principality of Neuchâtel". This new category would also contain an appreciable number of other people, as for instance the horologists Ferdinand Berthoud, Abraham-Louis Breguet, and Abraham-Louis Perrelet, the lawyer Emer de Vattel, and the pastor Jean-Frederic Osterwald. As well as the politician and scientist Jean-Paul Marat. --Sapphorain (talk) 17:17, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for Now to Category:People from Neuchâtel per WP:NARROWCAT, but with no objection to recreation if any of the category's fulfill their growth potential and ever reach 5 or so articles. (Open to a dual merge as well, if an appropriate target can be found given the location's complicated history.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:23, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Category:People from Neuchâtel per the reasoning at #Protestants from the Principality of Neuchâtel. Individual articles may be added manually to either Swiss or German occupational category if they apply. Place Clichy (talk) 23:50, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting Category:Kansas City Cowboys

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME and WP:DNWAUC

"Kansas City Cowboys" is a disambiguation page for 6 different sporting teams that all share the same name, which is textbook WP:SHAREDNAME but, based on the category header, I think this was intended as a disambiguation page anyway. I created individual categories for 2 of the teams (1, 2) but the other 4 didn't have enough content yet. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to dab page similar to article space. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:18, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, that works too. RevelationDirect (talk) 12:18, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate There is a dab page for Kansas City Cowboys, but there is evidently a need for one here as well. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 16:45, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting Category:Sporting Kansas City broadcasters (all soccer unless specified)
Propose Deleting Category:FC Dallas broadcasters
Propose Deleting Category:Houston Dynamo FC broadcasters
Propose Deleting Category:Major League Soccer over-the-air television broadcasters

Propose Deleting Category:Philadelphia Union broadcasters
Propose Deleting Category:Portland Timbers broadcasters
Propose Deleting Category:Real Salt Lake broadcasters
Propose Deleting Category:Missouri Valley Conference broadcasters (college sports)
Propose Deleting Category:Buffalo Braves broadcasters (basketball)

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:NONDEFINING

These categories consist almost entirely of general interest TV stations that play sitcoms, drama, news, movies and--yes--at least one season worth of games for a soccer team. Articles like KMYU, WRDQ and KMCI-TV do tend to mention the teams in passing but it would create category clutter if we started categorized TV stations by each show they air. The category contents are already largely listified right here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Also worth considering that with the advent of MLS Season Pass, there are no local TV broadcasters (people or stations). So these categories will never grow. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:43, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Baltic Finnic people to Category:Baltic Finns

Nominator's rationale: I propose upmerging the category. I don't understand why the Kven and Seto peoples are treated differently from the Karelians or Estonians. Yorkporter (talk) 20:50, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:SEPARATE. It is better to distinguish between topic categories and people categories. Here, Category:Baltic Finns (and Category:Seto and Category:Kven) are topic categories for the ethnic groups. Category:Baltic Finns (and Category:Seto people and Category:Kven people) are categories for individual people. Place Clichy (talk) 23:46, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support, both categories mainly contain subcategories and articles about peoples, rather than about individual people. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
