Category:Images of the Star of David

 * 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:Images of geometric stars and Category:Jewish images. Category:Images of six-pointed stars also deleted as empty. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:23, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting images of the star of david


 * Nominator's rationale: only one image. It will empty Category:Images of six-pointed stars if deleted. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:28, 11 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Upmerge to Category:Images of geometric stars and Category:Jewish images, neither of which is overpopulated. This would empty this category and Category:Images of six-pointed stars, opening the way for both to be deleted. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:35, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete once the member images are ported to Wikimedia Commons. These are all public domain or GFDL and don't belong on Wikipedia, but rather on Commons. CaseyPenk (talk) 06:46, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * We needn't wait. They will be moved to Commons eventually but, in the meantime, we can keep them categorized by upmerging them to Category:Images of geometric stars and Category:Jewish images. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:41, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. There are a bunch more of these on Wikipedia, some of which I have added to the category, but I imagine these should just be merged to . I'm not sure what the perceived advantage of subcategorizing by file type might be, unless this is some sort of flip-side tracking device to accompany . Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:20, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Upmerge to Category:Flag images -- 70.24.251.208 (talk) 06:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as a useful sorting mechanism until Category:Flag images that should be in SVG format is deprecated. Separating between SVG and non-SVG helps image creators direct their attention to the appropriate areas. Once all flags are in SVG format, we can upmerge both categories. But as it is, Category:Flag images is diffused into useful subcategories. If we decide to upmerge Category:SVG flags, then we must logically upmerge Category:Flag images that should be in SVG format (which is not a step that would help editors). So, I suggest we keep the diffusion structure as a motivational tool and sorting mechanism. CaseyPenk (talk) 06:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: I diffused the handful of member flags of Category:Flag images into the appropriate sub-category. Now the sub-categorization scheme is at least implemented consistently. CaseyPenk (talk) 06:37, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Question: if the nominated category is upmerged why must Category:Flag images that should be in SVG format be upmerged as well? It seems to me we only need one of these to appropriately track the issue; i.e., if they are not in Category:Flag images that should be in SVG format, then they should be in SVG format. I don't see why we need a category to group this explicitly. If they are in the correct format, they could just go in without any further comment via the category name. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:10, 12 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Upmerge per Olfactory's convincing argument (see discussion directly above this one). The default should be SVG, and any non-compliant PNGs or JPGs should be labelled as such and subject to "ostracization" if you will. CaseyPenk (talk) 08:18, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
