Propose merging Category:Temporary disappearances to Category:Formerly missing people

Nominator's rationale: Vague. How temporary is temporary? Mason (talk) 23:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, I wouldn't know how these two categories are meant to be distinct. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:1470s establishments in Mexico in Category:1470s establishments in North America
Propose merging Category:1480s in Mexico‎ to Category:1480s in North America

Nominator's rationale: merge, these are articles insofar unrelated to the Aztec civilization, mostly quite unrelated to each other and certainly not related to the later state of Mexico. We have deleted Gutemalan categories before for the same reason. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:20th-century establishments in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland to Category:20th-century establishments in Rhodesia and Category:20th-century establishments in Malawi
Propose merging Category:Years of the 20th century in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland to Category:Years of the 20th century in Rhodesia and Category:Years of the 20th century in Malawi

Nominator's rationale: merge, this federation existed wholly within the 20th century, there is no need to diffuse this by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I really wonder if we need a full-scale category structure for the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, a short-lived colonial structure. Place Clichy (talk) 21:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose splitting Category:People in 19th-century Utah to Category:People from Utah Territory‎ and Category:19th-century American people

Nominator's rationale: Split, then redirect to Category:People from pre-statehood Utah‎. Utah Territory 1850–1896 should hold most; Children of Joseph Smith should go to Category:19th-century American people. Add Category:People from Utah Territory‎ into Category:19th-century American people by state or territory. – Fayenatic London 15:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge and redirect. "Indian Territory" was the relevant name for 1834–1907. – Fayenatic London 15:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, using 19th-century terminology. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:26, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Jewish people in sports to Category:Jewish sports

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Basically the same categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Changed target category per Marco. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support in principle but upmerge to Category:Jewish sports instead of downmerge, because the list article does not belong in sportspeople. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:35, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good point! I will change the target category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I created this category because List of Jews in sports (non-players) was previously categorized directly in Category:People in sports (a container category). pburka (talk) 04:40, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pburka, you likely missed that Category:Jewish sportspeople exist. ~~Your~~ This category is basically a duplicate of that one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:10, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all! Sportspeople play sports. This category is more broad, as it includes coaches, managers, superfans, etc. It would be inappropriate to include non-players in the sportspeople category. pburka (talk) 01:15, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would probably be inappropriate also to associate non-players with Jewishness, when that's not related. I'm not aware that Judaism plays a significant role in sports refereeing. Place Clichy (talk) 17:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like that's an argument to delete List of Jews in sports (non-players). As long as that page exists, so should this category. Additionally, everyone in that list should be added to this category. pburka (talk) 03:09, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, for categories we have stricter criteria than for lists. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should also keep in mind that everyone in sports is considered a "sportsperson" - athlete, broadcaster, owner, executives, referees, etc. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:11, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. I don't think it would be a good idea to have categories for non-competing people in sports such as administrators and referees based in their Jewishness, beyond the list article. Place Clichy (talk) 21:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose splitting Category:Jewish Canadian filmmakers to Category:Jewish film people and Category:Canadian filmmakers

Nominator's rationale: Merge per previous Cfd on "Jewish American filmmakers" Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:06, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Manually merge, most articles are already in Canadian film directors or Canadian film producers. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is no previous CfD on Jewish American filmmakers. I just created the category for the first time. Uriahheep228 (talk) 19:52, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Related enough categories that were deleted under WP:EGRS/I:
- Category:Jewish American film directors (which is the recent discussion the nominator was referring to)
- Category:American Jewish Film Producers
- Category:Jewish film producers
- Category:Jewish film directors
- Category:Jewish films (twice)
- Category:Jewish television series
- Category:Jewish American theatre producers
So indeed, there is little evidence that Jewish film people are a notable intersection per our guidelines. There are of course notable filmmakers who are Jews, but they are Jewish, and filmmakers, not Jewish-filmmakers. Place Clichy (talk) 23:27, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Manual merge per Marco. The "keep" voter has not advanced a substantive reason to keep the category (i.e. has not rebutted a solid rationale for deletion). House Blaster (talk · he/him) 02:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:English given names invented by fiction writers to Category:????

Nominator's rationale: Per the last discussion these kinds of categories are problematic, I do not believe that the vast majority of the names included in this category belong here.

Propose renaming Category:Russian activists against the Russian invasion of Ukraine to Category:Russian people against the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Nominator's rationale: I am concerned that most people in this category are not activists, just various notable people (artists, scientists, sportspeople, etc.) who are Russians that have criticized the invasion. Only a few are activists. I suggest this is renamed to generic people,with no prejudice to recreating activists as a subcategory (but it should be used only for activists). It is not right to classify (categorize) someone as an activists simply because they made a staement here or there about their political views. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:15, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
