Category:Executed Ming dynasty people

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge all. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:22, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Seems duplicative.
Hi! I've never done this before! Any mistakes are my own.
There might be more of these for other periods. Category:People executed by the Ming dynasty seems better... treed? like in the category tree? Although the two are not congruent, since this is a child of Category:Executed Chinese people by period and the other one isn't, and this one is specifically for Chinese people and the other one isn't. Still seems like one category too many for essentially the same concept. Folly Mox (talk) 12:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The additional categories have not been tagged for a full week; relisting. If there are no further comments this should be all set for merging.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:25, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, two redundant category layers with two subcategories in total. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:45, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, duplicate of Category:Military of the Ashanti Empire. I would not object to renaming the latter to Category:Military history of the Ashanti Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom, category serves no purpose. AusLondonder (talk) 16:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of the Republic of Artsakh

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per main article History of Nagorno-Karabakh and because many articles in the category are about the period before the Republic of Artsakh was established. After this rename Category:Republic of Artsakh should become a subcategory instead of a parent category. By all means keep a redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:André Previn

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:28, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With all related subcats in the "works by" category scheme, this eponymous parent is unnecessary. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 15:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Years

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus to split; as always, editors are free to create categories such as Category:Years of the 15th century (and this result is neither an endorsement nor a rejection of doing so). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:30, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I think it would worth moving the relevant sub-categories, for individual years, into Category:Years BC and Category:Years AD. What do others think? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:01, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shooting people

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:30, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Newly created category that duplicates an existing category, and is extremely liable to being misunderstood and misused. These were created as parents for a new Category:Shooting coaches hierarchy, but the problem is that the name is highly ambiguous -- it isn't clearly communicating the distinction between the intended "people involved in sport shooting" and unintended uses like "people who shot other people" or "people who were shot" or "people who committed mass shootings" that wouldn't belong in the same place as sport shooters.
So since we already have Category:Sport shooters for people involved in sport shooting, and the coaches category has already been added to it, we don't need this to coexist alongside it. Bearcat (talk) 14:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misplaced comment

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This needs to get a closed template to stop AnomieBOT from thinking it is an open discussion. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:31, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am also of the opinion to rename or remove this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attorney001 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Attorney001: please move your comment to the right section. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:31, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: I cannot determine what section this comment was intended for, and even perusing OP's edit history didn't shed any light — however, as it was simply sitting at the top of the page as a standalone comment, it was becoming a "comment" on every new nomination that got added above it, forcing every new nomination to have to be edited to move it again. Accordingly, I've given it a headline to stop that from happening, but it should still be moved if anybody can figure out where it belongs. Bearcat (talk) 14:12, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per multiple discussions, triple-intersection soccer categories are not to be used. See: [1] . BlameRuiner (talk) 06:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; this is part of a very large category tree of expatriate sportspeople. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:35, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:USERCAT for lacking any discernible collaborative function. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:37, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really understand why, since this is under the subcategory of Wikipedians, and also has the humor template box. The userbox on the page was from an editable userbox template, so it can't really be deleted. It's a humorous user category that users can add to their page, and I don't see a problem with it.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Nominator blocked; anyone should feel free to renominate. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:19, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Better title, as there is only one extant Wikipedia article about a live action television series about hippopotamuses, Potamus Park. FilmandTVFan50 (talk) 01:12, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
