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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:21, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't think we really need this. There are only two articles currently in the category: Trial of Michael Jackson and Leaving Neverland. The former is already categorized properly and in particular belongs to Category:Michael Jackson. The latter is in Category:Works about the Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations. If we keep the category, Category:Works about the Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations should be a subcategory of Category:Child sexual abuse accusations against Michael Jackson so that would leave Trial of Michael Jackson as the sole member of the category with no prospect for further growth.

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Virtually unused stub templates (one with no transclusions at all, and two with just one use each) with no pressing need for them. These don't have their own dedicated provincial categories, and just sort people directly into the national Category:Canadian people stubs -- but this means that the only thing they're actually doing is producing unnecessary duplicate categorization, since the two articles that are actually using any of these templates both already have other "Canada occupation stub" templates and subcategories on them as it is. Saskatchewan isn't particularly central to Arnold Spohr's notability claim anyway -- it was his birthplace, but isn't all that closely tied to his context for notability, so there isn't a pressing need to tag him as a Saskatchewan biography at all -- and while Ralph L. Thomas does have a more PEI-specific notability claim, it comes close enough to the edges of politics ("commissioner on land and local governance") that he could easily just use {{PrinceEdwardIsland-politician-stub}}, if anybody feels that's necessary, instead of needing this. Bearcat (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep more specific stub types underneath this, like the PEI-politico stubtype. Thus this allows stubsorting away from the base bio-stub type. Lets WikiGnomes just sort things. -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 06:52, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No, it doesn't. It allows nonexistent people to move things from point A to point A when they really should be in point C instead. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:00, 30 December 2023 (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: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This category is not helpful for navigation. There's not enough content to justify diffusion. Mason (talk) 18:26, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest that, as goes Subordinators by language, so should this go. Brett (talk) 19:54, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for now, without objection to recreate the category when more articles are published. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:03, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with the proposal, but for a different reason. I'm happy to be told that there's not enough content to justify diffusion. Most of the article Conjunction (grammar) is devoted to "conjunctions" in English, and a lot of what it says is piffle. This is unsurprising, because in English, at least, the "conjunction" (even if renamed) "isn't a thing". When the term "conjunction" is used, it's usually held to subsume (i) "coordinating conjunction" (i.e. coordinator) and "subordinating conjunction" (a mishmash of (ii) the subordinators, (iii) a lot of prepositions, and (iv) perhaps the occasional adverb). (Citation needed? The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, pp 599–600, 1011–1014, 1278n.) A directory tree for "conjunctions" could help perpetuate this unknowing. Let's first work to demythologize Wikipedia's treatment of grammar, and then fortify its categorization. -- Hoary (talk) 01:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the main article is conjunction (grammar) not conjunction -- the main category is misnamed, it should be Category:conjunctions (grammar) -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 01:50, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Next Indian general election[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category was created for the Next Indian general election article. However, when the article was moved 2024 Indian general election, someone created a new Category:2024 Indian general election rather than request the existing category be renamed. This means we now have two categories for the same election, with multiple articles in both. Also nominating Category:Next Indian general election by state or union territory, as it has been duplicated by Category:2024 Indian general election by state or union territory.

  • Delete I created the new categories unknowingly that the previous ones should have been moved. Just for the record I have added new categories in nearly all the pages. If some are left maybe we can add them and delete this. ShaanSenguptaTalk 06:14, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fiction about unidentified flying objects. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:33, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Subcategories of Category:Unidentified flying objects generally use the abbreviation. However, the naming convention we've been using for subcategories of Category:Fiction by topic is also inconsistent with its subcategories and Category:UFO-related media. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:04, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: downmerge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:33, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Another category layer that seems to be based entirely on setting and is redundant. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:51, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Constructed fictional scripts. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The title calls for Category:Fiction about constructed scripts, but I think the proposal is more accurate here, or possibly Category:Constructed scripts for fictional languages. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:37, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Conversion from X in fiction to Fiction about X, as this must be a defining trait. Thre is another CfD going on that may affect the subcategories about specific law enforcement agencies or agencies in a specific country, so I am not doing those yet.

Category:Assassinated politicians in transcontinental Eurasia[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/delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We don't categorize deaths (or really anything) by "transcontinental Eurasia".Category:Murders by continent. Personally, I don't find the assassination at the intersection of continent and decade helpful in general, but this in particular is really not helpful. Like are these everybody in asia or europe? Mason (talk) 20:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, we do not have any other "transcontinental Eurasia" categories and we do not need one. This is combining Russia and Turkey (and a few other countries) which are normally not together. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:38, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Issue is that countries like Russia and Turkey are both in Europe and Asia and therefore need categorization in both Europe and Asia. If we make transcontinental Eurasia, categories that otherwise would have both Europe and Asia in these entries would only be under transcontinental Eurasia. Also, "transcontinental Eurasia" is a term used in sources.[1] Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 23:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for sharing your reasoning that's helpful. However, I still don't see why the extra category complexity is helpful to others. Can't they just look in both categories? Mason (talk) 06:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is just another reason why biographies should not be directly in a continent category. They should be in nationality categories, though of course not diffused by nationality and decade. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      "Can't they just look in both categories?" Yes, they can. But the point is to have one category instead of two. In this case, I think it helps navigation. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 02:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      There are not that many transcontinental countries though. I think at least some countries have a large number of entries diffused by nationality and decade that it could be helpful to diffuse like that. At least some decades, not all. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 02:59, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      But it doesn't help navigation by isolating them away from asia and europe. It would only make sense after there are nationalities. Why would people expect turkey and russia be lumped together, instead of with both europe and asia? Mason (talk) 04:25, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      You are right that it is more straightforward looking in Asia or Europe for Turkish or Russian people. My main concern was to add only one category instead of two of the same topic. But I did not do it arbitrarily either. Russia and Turkey are both transcontinental countries located in both in Europe and Asia, which are in Eurasia. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 18:53, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Personally, I don't think that the benefits of having a single category outweigh the costs of being in two contentental categories. Mason (talk) 14:52, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge/delete as nom. I believe we recently deleted Eurasia categories, because they are a useless and confusing duplicate of existing continent schemes, because Eurasia(n) is ambiguous and also loaded with some POVs. Place Clichy (talk) 15:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree re “Eurasia” but there are other bicontinental countries apart from Russia and Turkey e.g. Cyprus and Egypt plus several countries in the Caucasus e.g. Armenia? Is there a list anywhere in Wikipedia e.g. for building temmplates? Hugo999 (talk) 04:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accidental deaths[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no consistency among the category names within Category:Accidental deaths. Also, some of the categories exclude articles about incidents rather than the victims themselves, such as the T-3 case from the firearms category, while others do not. Some subcategories have many descendants and will be handled separately in accordance with this CfD. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not sure if the names can be fully aligned. "Foo accident deaths" occurs the most often but it would not fit the first two very well. More important is the alignment of inclusion criteria, they should all be about incidents and deaths together. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:18, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
