Request to change Turkmenistan to Turkmenistani for these categories

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 rename these categories in isolation; there might be consensus for a broader nomination of the entire tree but doing that would require a new, much bigger, nomination and is best done from scratch rather than relisting this as something fundamentally different. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:40, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Should be renamed to better match the demonym (see Asian sportspeople stubs for example) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 03:47, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support might also be worth looking at Category:Turkmenistan people stubs and Category:Turkmenistan people Waacstats (talk) 07:19, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Every subcategory in the categories you mentioned should also be changed - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 15:24, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, Belgium did not exist at the time and, while the target is not entirely accurate either, there is certainly no reason to have two parallel categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename This could have been processed as WP:C2A; it did not need to be brought here and then relisted. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category is grammarly incorrect and by adding "the" in the name it'll be correct. Unilandofma(Talk to me!) 06:04, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Boroughs of Sweden

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 * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To make it clear that these subdivisions are the administrative subdivisions of the municipality entities. These are all different administrative but not legally separate divisions, therefore merge Category:Boroughs of Sweden and Category:City districts in Sweden. The case of Landskrona does not match the municipal districts presented on the municipality website and they are only two in the category. Bromma and Hässelby-Vällingby are two current boroughs compared to Västerort. Since 2016, what was församlingar (parishes) are now distrikt (registration districts), so therefore it would be useful to add city to the Stockholm categories, as there also are some 20–30 registration districts in Stockholm.

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:Wikipedia pages about contentious topics without a code. The Bushranger One ping only 02:51, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: More accurately describe what belongs in this category, and to avoid confusion with Category:Wikipedia pages with an invalid contentious topic code. Adding the Wikipedia prefix per everything else in Template:Contentious topics/Category database.json. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories. If the merge goes ahead, I'd be happy to file the appropriate paperwork :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I see that the merge target is older and has a name that better matches the template name. I have already adjusted the templates' code to use the new category name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:28, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Dual merge * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only contains two articles. Home of the Underdogs is indisputably notable, but Abandonia probably isn't. Either way, the category is overly narrow and unnecessary. (Note: It should probably be dual merged to Category:Warez as well). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:07, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Very detailed intersections with two or three articles in each. If the last one is kept, rename to Category:Rugby union teams in Gothenburg per the proposed merge targets. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 16:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: wrong venue. As mentioend by Pppery, this is the wrong venue - the place to discuss this is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation The Bushranger One ping only 02:54, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category does not comply with Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Reviewing_instructions#If_you_cannot_publish_the_draft; being salted is not a reason to decline a draft. GZWDer (talk) 08:45, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Araneomorphae sub-stub upmerging

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: Keep * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I believe these stub categories should be upmerged since there are less than 60 articles in each one. - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; this is best for the specificity of stub categories and templates. Element10101 AIW WPI TOLT ~ C 21:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose except for the last one. The first four categories contain 50+ articles. Note that 60 is a requirement to start a stub category, it is not a requirement for a stub category to exist. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:57, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. A combined category would have over 250 articles. With time one would expect (hope?) the number of stub articles to come down. Smaller categories might encourage editors to expand a batch of articles when a large one makes the task seem more daunting.  —  Jts1882 | talk  06:11, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep * Pppery * it has begun... 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category has less than 60 mainspace articles - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:45, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, as stub templates should be as specific as possible.
Comment: What do you plan to do with the Template:Amerilini-stub if your deletion request succeeds? Do you plan to delete that as well? Element10101 AIW WPI TOLT ~ C 20:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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: keep. The Bushranger One ping only 02:56, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These stub categories should all be upmerged into Acanthocinini stubs, as they each contain less than 60 mainspace articles. - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:40, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all, for the specificity of stub categories and templates. Element10101 AIW WPI TOLT ~ C 20:57, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Medal of Honor Awardees from Minnesota

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: Manually merge Category:Puerto Rican recipients of the Medal of Honor can be brought to a new nomination. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:42, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCLOCATION and, potentially, WP:OVERLAPCAT
The Medal of Honor is defining and the category is large, so there's no WP:OCAWARD or WP:NARROWCAT issue. The problem is that American service members tend to move around a lot during their careers so that they're associated with multiple states, none of which are defining to the award. Here are the first three articles alphabetically:
  1. George E. Albee: from New Hampshire, served out of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, retired in Maryland
  2. James Allen (Medal of Honor): from Ireland, served out of New York, retired in Minnesota
  3. Jesse T. Barrick: from Ohio, grew up and served out of Minnesota, retired in Washington state
Some of these biographies are in other MOH subcategories and others aren't so, if this passes, I volunteer to selectively merge the contents. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:27, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This stub category has less than 60 mainspace articles in it - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for the specificity of stub articles and templates; this category may have had 60 articles in the past, which means that it is okay. Element10101 AIW WPI TOLT ~ C 20:59, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
