Category:Populist Leaders

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 to Category:Populists. Deletion has not obtained consensus; in the meantime, nobody argued against the rename. As mentioned after the relist, there is no prejudice against a speedy renomination for deletion (perhaps pinging participants here and including some additional categories in the nomination). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:40, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fits into the scheme used at Category:Populism, Category:Right-wing populists, Category:Right-wing populists in the United Kingdom, Category:Right-wing populists in the United States and List of populists Gjs238 (talk) 00:55, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This left-wing populist is making the news these days in the United States. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:19, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Former cities in Russia

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 * Pppery * it has begun...
Nominator's rationale: In Russia, there is no distinction between cities and towns. The inclusion criteria have long specified that the category includes both cities and towns, and it is also a subcategory of Category:Cities and towns in Russia. And almost all of the contents of the category cannot be called cities either - they are mainly towns or even smaller settlements (urban-type settlement). Solidest (talk) 11:12, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Although, as far as I can see, in addition to Category:Former cities, there is also Category:Former towns. At the same time, the "cities" branch is rather disorganised, and many of the articles are actually about places referred to as "former towns". Therefore, it may be reasonable to rename both branches to "cities and towns" and merge them. However, unlike the situation in Russia, I am not sure how significant the distinction between a city and a town is (in the context of becoming "former") in other countries. Therefore, I am nominating only Russia here. Solidest (talk) 12:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. You rightly noted that there is no city/town distinction on Russia. Instead, all other category/article titles, such as List of cities and towns in Russia by population must be renamed, because this "c & t" naming creates misinformation, suggesting that there are cities and towns in Russia. --Altenmann >talk 15:30, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Renamed into what? "cities or towns"? cities? towns? I don't think this creates misinformation, since in reality some places are technically could be called cities and others are smaller towns, both words are still relevant in English. But we cannot make the distinction for each case as it would be OR. And the "cities and towns" wording is still widely used in similar cases, where the local language does not distinguish between terms. But if we had to choose, town would probably be more appropriate in this case. Solidest (talk) 19:23, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
if you are saying that it includes urban-type settlements, then the proper name is category:Former urban localities in Russia. --Altenmann >talk 21:10, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Urban localities" is too vague and unclear a term. It is more likely to refer specifically to "urban-type settlements" – which populated places often turn into when they lose city/town status. Therefore, it won't work. Solidest (talk) 22:13, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 18:40, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Macanese" is ambiguous, sometimes referring to Macau generally and sometimes to the ethnic group Macanese people. It is clear now that Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_July_2#Macau_film-related_categories will not be carried, so I am instead nominating the other half of Macau's film categories, for consistency with other arts Category:Macau architecture, Category:Macau literature, Category:Macau music. – Fayenatic London 17:58, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete the second; no consensus to delete the first. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:09, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Following long-standing precedent on WP:NONDEFINING WP:CROSSCATs between language family and other things such as geography or music, these categories (created a few days/months ago) should be deleted. NLeeuw (talk) 04:49, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I created this language family category precisely to call these categories by what they are, instead of having them placed in ethnicity or nationality categories. Ultimately, I think the solution would be to forbid placing content about geographies in ethnic/linguistic categories. Place Clichy (talk) 08:47, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmm. This seems to be a case of WP:POINT and WP:OTHERSTUFF. If you agree with the rationale, then I would happily invite you to help us with fixing this issue, which is indeed widespread and going back years. I and other editors have been making efforts to contain the overcategorisation of language families, and we sure could use your help.   NLeeuw (talk) 13:49, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus to rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 15:59, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This rename is necessary to clarify that this is a container category, as not all entertainment occupations are necessarily gendered. Otherwise, it would appear to violate WP:OCEGRS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:13, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I originally closed this as rename; I've reverted my closure per User talk:Qwerfjkl#Category:Women entertainers, etc.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 13:42, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Alternatively Category:Women entertainers would be a sensible parent to Category:Women entertainers by nationality, Category:Women by entertainment occupation, Category:LGBTQ women entertainers and Category:Jewish women entertainers, marked as a container category. I requested reopening rather than recreating it myself, not wanting to disrespect consensus as it flies in the face of the nominator's rationale.
Also, if renaming/splitting, Category:Women entertainers by occupation would be a better name than Category:Women by entertainment occupation.
My suggestions are either (A) keep/restore old name and structure, or (B) keep/restore and split to Category:Women entertainers by occupation etc. – Fayenatic London 16:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have restored the old structure pending this reopened discussion, and hope this makes the discussion clearer. I do also support tagging the categories as container categories, and have done that too. – Fayenatic London 21:40, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Censored works

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 delete * Pppery * it has begun... 18:36, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Falls under WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, as what the definition of censorship is in this instance is unclear. It can include both works directly censored by a government, or just works self-censored by the author, like a character saying "F***!" or a sex scene being skipped over, despite these things being drastically different in severity. This would also include all subcategories, besides "Works banned in___" which would be placed in a new Category:Banned works by country category. "Works subject to expurgation" suffers from the precise same issue as this one. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:34, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. 16 interwikis, numerous subcategories, what's subjective here? Sure, there are various types of censorship, which is why we have many articles and subcategories, as well as numerous lists (Category:Lists of prohibited books); and if something can be listified, it surely can be categorized.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:01, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Being prohibited/banned is different than simply being censored. It is a clear "Is this book banned somewhere? Yes/no" answer that has no subjectivity. Whether a work has undergone "censorship", however, can often be up to individuals to interpret. Nevertheless, there's an argument that even "banned works" fail WP:NONDEF as something being banned is not a defining trait of that work. Some things can merit a list but be improper for a category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:12, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For some banned or censored works, this is very much a major part of their claim to fame or notability. Streisand effect, etc. PS. Example from the recent weeks: Reversed Front. The game is famous for becoming banned in China; it was pretty low key before that. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:22, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Consensus to merge has not developed in ~six weeks. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:43, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per the 2023 consensus to combine "sports clubs" and "sports teams" under unified "clubs and teams" categories, these categories (that have both "clubs" and "teams") should be merged as was done in their parent category Category:Sports clubs and teams / Category:Sports clubs and teams by sport. Merging them would improve consistency and follow the current categorization structure. As well as rename those that have "club" categories, no "team" categories, but still have national teams of their own to move to the new "clubs and teams" categories.

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Fungal fruiting body types * Pppery * it has begun... 18:33, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: By standard naming convention, Category:Mushrooms should be the "proper" category for the mushroom article. However, that article lists Category:Mushroom types as its home. Unfortunately, the Wikidata for d:Q9471386 says that Category:Mushrooms is "the same as" Category:Fungi which is not correct - a mushroom is a kind of fungi. Currently Category:Mushrooms is a soft redirect to Category:Fungi (which is wrong but follows the Wikidata). 1) This category should be merged into Category:Mushrooms; 2) The soft redirect would obviously be removed; 3) The Wikidata fixed.

The result of the discussion was: New discussion started.. Please see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_July_19#Members_of_the_Australian_House_of_Representatives_by_term where I've started a mass rename discussion. (non-admin closure) TarnishedPathtalk 10:26, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category engages in WP:CRYSTAL presuming that all of these politicians will be in office until 2028. Additionally a lot of them have been serving since before 2025. TarnishedPathtalk 13:36, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As it is part of the the series Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives by term it could be renamed to Category:Australian MPs 2025–present like Category:UK MPs 2024–present to avoid WP:CRYSTAL. Moondragon21 (talk) 13:41, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That category, and all of its subcategories, has since 12 December last year (as far as I can tell by looking at a few of the subcategories). Per my secondary argument about a lot of the politicians in the category having served prior to the starting date, you make an argument for all of those categories being deleted.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Presumably a broader discussion should be held separately, so the question here is what to rename to.

Nominator's rationale: 1 P, 0 C. There is nothing specifically "Slavic" about the Sarajevo Winter Festival, and articles shouldn't be in containercats, so upmerge only to Category:Cultural festivals in Europe and Category:Festivals in Yugoslavia. NLeeuw (talk) 20:21, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Given the good job of Just N. to populate the category, I think my rationale for upmerging no longer applies. NLeeuw (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
