Category:Scheduled Tribes

 * 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. The category redirect is kept, as there is a clear absence of consensus to delete altogether, and redirects are cheap, even in this namespace.  bd2412  T 04:51, 23 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting scheduled tribes


 * Nominator's rationale: Duplicates Category:Scheduled Tribes of India. Goustien (talk) 19:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge -- This is a specifically Indian category, but this will not be obvious to everyone, so that the target should be Category:Scheduled Tribes of India. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:55, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge without deleting. The existence of the category shows that someone didn't find the existing category, and it's entirely a reasonable name, so category redirect it instead of deleting it.  Nyttend (talk) 11:20, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge with deleting, it's impossible to find Category:Scheduled Tribes for someone who is not able to find Category:Scheduled Tribes of India, a redirect will serve no purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:25, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * If it's so impossible, why did someone create this instead of using the correct category name? Nyttend (talk) 11:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Good question. Some top-of-mind possibilities: they thought that "in India" was a too narrow or a redundant naming, or they didn't check the category's existence at all. In either case a redirect wouldn't have helped. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In the former case, they would have seen that it was deemed to be sufficient, and in the second, this would have done the check for them. Nyttend (talk) 21:21, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.''
 * Merge - just not necessary given the other cat exists. This creation is one of many examples of what happens every year when Dalit History Month takes place and a horde of newbies turn up to right great wrongs. To answer Nyttend's query, the answer is simply that it is a newbie mistake. Whether it should be merged or deleted is beyond me, though - the category specialists are an law unto themselves and I don't understand their rationales most of the time. - Sitush (talk) 07:33, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. All articles were already in Category:Indian National Congress politicians or a subcat of it.  (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting indian national congress ideologues


 * Nominator's rationale: Apparent WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. — swpb T 17:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge into Category:Indian National Congress politicians. To a foreigner like me, all these guys appear to be rather ordinary politicians; they don't look like leading political theorists.  I can see a place for prominent political theorists by party affiliation, but you'd need solid references for that: people viewed as prominent theorists in academic literature, not simply in newspapers and other unreliable sources for this kind of thing.

 * Propose deleting zama american high school alumni


 * Nominator's rationale: Apparent WP:SMALLCAT — swpb T 17:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep we normally allow High School alumni categories, even if small.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Peterkingiron and per WP:SMALLCAT: this is part of an established series. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:12, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting cricket in albania


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT, as indicated by the corresponding article itself. — swpb T 17:37, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:SMALLCAT as part of an established series under Category:Cricket by country. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per BHG.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 06:51, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * delete I don't believe every country deserves an automatic category. Especially as the game of cricket isn't played on any organised basis in Alabania. LibStar (talk) 14:25, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting ambassadors of bangladesh to portugal


 * Nominator's rationale: these type of categories are for biography articles of which there are none in existence . LibStar (talk) 14:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:SMALLCAT as part of an established series. The categ currently contains Bangladeshi Ambassador to Portugal, which is a biography article; it's a biographical list. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

The categ's single article Kyle Hosford is already in another subcat of Category:Irish basketball players, so no need for a dual merge. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:03, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Basketball players from Cork (city) to Category:Sportspeople from Cork (city)
 * Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Categ contains only one article, and a Catscan of People fro Cork (city)/Irish basketball players shows only one other article on a basketball player from Cork city.


 * Merge per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:44, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Category:Kildare

 * 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 (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Kildare to Category:Kildare (town)
 * Nominator's rationale: to remove the ambiguity. People in Ireland don't often use the prefix "county" when referring to a county ... so "I'm from Kildare" could mean either County Kildare or the town of Kildare.
 * This follows the long-standing precedents of Category:County Sligo/Category:Sligo (town) (see 2011 CFD), Category:County Dublin/Category:Dublin (city) (see 2011 CFD), Category:County Kilkenny/Category:Kilkenny (city) (see 2011 CFD)
 * The are other precedents where the town category was created at the disambiguated title: Category:Longford (town)/Category:County Longford, Category:Monaghan (town)/Category:County Monaghan, Category:Wicklow (town)/Category:County Wicklow.
