Category:Categories by perpetrator

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) 00:36, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a subclass of Category:Categories by individual, which is inappropriate because most of its child categories are by country not individual. Once you remove those categories, you're left with just Category:Criminal activities by perpetrator. "Perpetrator" is a crime-related term which is not likely appropriate for additional subcategories beyond that one. See also Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 April 5#Category:Airstrikes by perpetrator. Daask (talk) 21:18, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Palestinian territories

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/merge as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:42, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 March 5#Palestinian territories. From "1940s in the Palestinian territories" onward, the rest of the list may also be deleted instead of renamed. The article about 1987 in the Israeli Civil Administration area was apparently moved from "Palestine" based on the argument that using "Palestine" for events before 1987 would be anachronistic. Deleting these categories would also be acceptable, as they are merely container categories. I'm fine with both options—either renaming the pre-1987 entries or deleting them altogether.

The result of the discussion was: manual merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:15, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: manually merge, redundant category layer with 1-2 subcategories each. Most subcategories are already in the tree of the targets, hence a manual merge is needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:51, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greco-Roman world vs Classical antiquity

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/rename as nominated. I will tell the bot to leave a redirect after the merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:17, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge the top category, largely overlapping scope, both contain Category:Ancient Greece + Category:Ancient Rome as their key components. By all means keep a redirect. Also merge per WP:G4, we already merged it back in 2016. User:Fayenatic london and User:Jc37 participated in that discussion, User:Dimadick did the recreation, User:TSventon discovered the previous discussion. Rename the subcategories listed above, per Jc37's earlier point to remove the term "Greco-Roman" consistently. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm obviously not opposing this (lol) - But I'm wondering about Category:Greco-Roman ethnography. Do we need a descriptor word for "classical" for the ethnography one. Perhaps a word like era or period or history or some such? I'm asking because I don't want to see us here again because someone thought "classical" was ambiguous. Another option could be to follow the others and do something similar: "Category:Ethnography of classical antiquity" for them. (of, not in, because it is a study "of" the time, not a study taking place during the time.) But the thing is, when I read over ethnography and look at Category:Ethnography, I'm doubtful about whether that category should exist at all. It seems a hodge-podge of Greco-Roman-related things, including locations, which, as far as I can tell, shouldn't be there at all. I welcome others' thoughts on this. - jc37 18:27, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I am certainly open to alternative solutions for this one. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    After reading over Ethnography and Historiography, I think we should UpMerge that category to Category:Classical historiography. It looks like this is a bit of overlapcat, for one thing. An interesting line from Ethnography#Origins" "From Herodotus forward, ethnography was a mainstay of ancient historiography.". The second reason, is the subcats. If Ethnography "... encompasses the ways in which ancient authors described and analyzed foreign cultures", then why are the tribes cats "...in classical historiography", and not "...in classical ethnography"? Again, I think it's due to the overlap of the topics. Basically, it seems to only differ in what perspective we're looking at the same thing from. Anyway, I think UpMerging would be better for clarity. - jc37 18:33, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect parent again, rename others per nom. I think Category:Classical civilizations should be nominated next; Classical antiquity could go directly in the most appropriate Civilisations parent… but we can leave that now for another day. – Fayenatic London 21:22, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect as nominated; "Greco-Roman" is clunky, if not necessarily incorrect (certainly not in all instances). Whether the "Classical ethnography" category is justified or correctly populated is another matter entirely, though some of its contents seem appropriate.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Veneto geography stubs. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:22, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It's a subcat of Veneto geography stubs, so that's why I believe "Venice geography stubs" is more accurate - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 16:37, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: dual merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with Category:Vanuatuan female athletes. Category:Vanuatuan javelin throwers becomes redundant as she is the only notable Vanuatuan javelin thrower. LibStar (talk) 06:59, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Concepts by language

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 back. There is consensus that these categories should become red, and consensus that some of their contents belong in subcategories of Category:Words and phrases by language. Because not all of them do, I am listing this for manual processing. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The cat has no description, but looking into its contents I gather it is intended for concepts named by non-English words. If this is so, then it must be deleted, because the language of the name of the concept is not a defining characteristic of a concept. Heck, 90% of concepts are in Greek or Latin :-) --Altenmann >talk 04:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1672 ships

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 to Category:1670s ships. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:35, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per notice on category, consensus within Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships states that prior to 1740, ships should be categorized by decade. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:39, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
but on merging Category:1672 beginnings, noting that the single entry is (now) included in List of ship launches in 1672, and that Category:1670s ships is already in Category:1670s beginnings, I do not think that merging the content from here is a good approach. - Davidships (talk) 11:16, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Works set in prison

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. This is probably the longest-running CFD I have closed. The bottom line is that there is no consensus for any particular further action; Marcocapelle and jc37 both state they are happy with the current tree; LaundryPizza0 proposed a forward merge, and 4meter4 supports a reverse merge. Even numbers and even arguments means no consensus for any particular action. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Forms a category loop with Category:Fiction set in prison, and contains no articles. All the other subcategories are already in the other category. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:00, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: The two categories were deleted (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 March 27#Category:Prison healthcare in fiction and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 March 27#Category:Fictional prisoners and detainees). What does that mean for these two categories?
