Propose renaming Category:Redirects from telephone number to Category:Redirects from telephone numbers

The result of the discussion was: merge all. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 19:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Mosques in Grozny to Category:Buildings and structures in Grozny
Propose merging Category:Mosques in Chechnya to Category:Mosques in Russia

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article. That article is already in Category:Mosques in Russia so a second merge target is not needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge for now as too small to be useful. I have added the Chechnya parent to this nomination, although there is scope to re-create this if more articles are created, as the Russian (ru:Категория:Мечети Чечни) and Azerbaijani Wikipedias have plenty of content. – Fayenatic London 19:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I added a hierarchy of new parent categories that would be emptied by the original nomination. The Russian Wikipedia equivalent of Category:Categories by cities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation (ru: Категория:Категории по городам субъектов Российской Федерации) is well established, but the creator of these categories has made no further attempt to populate them, so I suggest WP:SOFTDELETE, i.e. they may be re-created if a full hierarchy is going to be built. Note to anyone thinking of doing so: English Wikipedia categories use "federal subject", e.g. Category:Buildings and structures in Russia by federal subject. – Fayenatic London 08:24, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 11:42, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:User sichuan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose deleting Category:User sichuan-N (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: "sichuan" is not a valid language code. Neither of the users in this category have actively edited in years. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to User mis-scm (missing language, tentative code "scm"; ISO 639-3 [1]) Sichuanese language (dialect group) exists -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 06:13, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose that rename; there aren't any other categories for uncoded languages and I don't see why we should go out of out way to keep this category containing only long-gone users. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 13:46, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sichuanese has 100 million speakers, more than many other languages with user language boxes. That in of itself would seem to be a good reason to have around, since we have many lesser used languages with language boxes. We could convert it to the greater language grouping, Southwestern Mandarin, which does have a language code, ISO 639-6 code "xghu" and 260 million speakers, if you'd prefer a higher level categorization, {{user xghu}} (or {{user cmn-xghu}} or {{user zh-xghu}}). But 100 million seems like a good size that could support a language box. And here are two self-identified speakers already, so there could be more who just don't know about the box. The more recent post-2000 Chinese migrants should have many natives from this area of China. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 20:40, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is all wishful thinking that has had twelve years to come true but hasn't. I never understand why people engage in this sort of scheming rather than just leaving these abandoned relics to their fates. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:41, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What's wishful thinking is that there would never be any Sichuanese users on Wikipedia ever again. For a population of 100 million speakers, of a province that is not a complete backwater, with a large diaspora population, there are likely many users who do not know of this template. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 05:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. Most of the templates in Category:User templates sichuan are unused and could be deleted also. Oculi (talk) 09:53, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
