April 5

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:People of Finland Swedish descent

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:TRIVIALCAT, how relevant is it for e.g. British people that their Finnish ancestors spoke Swedish? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:31, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Paramus Catholic High School alumni

Nominator's rationale: WP:CATDEF A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define[1] the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people), type of ___location or region (in the case of places), etc. For example, here: "Caravaggio, an Italian artist of the Baroque movement ...", Italian, artist, and Baroque may all be considered to be defining characteristics of the subject Caravaggio.

It seems really unlikely that what high school people went to was a defining characteristic which is commonly and consistently used to describe anyone. ResultingConstant (talk) 16:23, 5 April 2019 (UTC) ResultingConstant (talk) 16:23, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brightline

Nominator's rationale: In line with renaming of main article to reflect subject's rebranding per WP:C2D. Migle82 (talk) 00:57, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pride of Britain Awards

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT
The Pride of Britain Awards is an annual award ceremony started in 2000. I have no conceptual problem with the category but it consists only of the main article and three redirects for individual years that all point back to that same article so it doesn't aid navigation. If we don't have individual articles about each ceremony after 20 years, I don't think growth is likely but--if I'm wrong--no objection to recreating this category later. (Alternativley we could convert this to a hidden redirect category if any editors find that useful.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame is a web site and annual awards show in Florida that started in 2013. The vast majority of articles in this category don't mention the award at all, although it should be added with the other honours. Instead, the Latin Grammy Award is often mentioned (including in the intro) and seems defining. The contents of the category are already listified here in a separate list article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
