Category:Poems/poetry by decade/century

 * 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 and list as agreed below. Although these category names do not match the main articles e.g. 11th century in poetry, they do match the parent hierarchy for literature, e.g. Category:11th-century literature, so I see no reason to delay or alter the implementation from the names given below. – Fayenatic  L ondon 20:37, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming or merging: To rename or merge the following categories with articles on poetry by year, as the category title refers to decades but the actual content is for a century. This will also link the categories into literature for the appropriate century (for which there is no link at present; except for the 20th century category). A few "orphan" categories will also be upmerged to the century category, as there are only one or two of these categories for the 11th, 14th and 15th centuries.

 * Category:1000s in poetry to Category:11th-century poetry (rename)
 * Category:1100s in poetry to Category:12th-century poetry
 * Category:1200s in poetry to Category:13th-century poetry
 * Category:1300s in poetry to Category:14th-century poetry
 * Category:1400s in poetry to Category:15th-century poetry
 * Category:1500s in poetry to Category:16th-century poetry
 * Category:1600s in poetry to Category:17th-century poetry
 * Category:1700s in poetry to Category:18th-century poetry
 * Category:1800s in poetry to Category:19th-century poetry
 * Category:1900s in poetry to Category:20th-century poetry (upmerge)
 * Category:1077 poems to Category:11th-century poems
 * Category:1303 poems to Category:14th-century poems
 * Category:1440s poems to Category:15th-century poems
 * Merge/rename as necessary. 1000s should refer to a decade.  These are parenting annual categories, so that there are 100 potential members, which is manageable: we thus do not need decade categories.  Since we have annual poetry categories the poems should also be added (if necessary) to 1077 in poetry article and upmerged to Category:1077 works.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:53, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge/rename poetry categories per nom; dual merge poems categories per Peterkingiron. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:20, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge/rename The current titles suggest this is a category by decade. Dimadick (talk) 21:24, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Further comment support dual upmerge as proposed above Hugo999 (talk) 04:21, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Category:Ukrainian sub-ethnic groups

 * 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 as soft delete. Although there has been no participation other than the nominator's, the discussion is included in relevant WikiProject alerts, and the category creators were notified and are still active; therefore it appears that there is no reason to oppose the nomination, or delay implementation. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:45, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Ukrainian sub-ethnic groups to Category:Ethnic groups in Ukraine
 * Propose merging Category:Polish sub-ethnic groups to Category:Ethnic groups in Poland
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge, sub-ethnic categories are only used when there is a parent category about an ethnicity, not (like here) as part of a country tree, see Category:Sub-ethnic groups. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This would require a change to WP:CATNAME, see Category_names, which could only be established by a stronger consensus than the discussion below.  – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:30, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Propopse renaming Category:British culture to Category:Culture of the United Kingdom
 * Nominator's rationale Per main topic Culture of the United Kingdom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:04, 25 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose per convention of and Category_names, culture is one of the specified examples. Tim! (talk) 10:08, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Conditional support if the sibling categories are renamed as well. It looks like the categorization guideline is lagging behind here, since the articles of most countries are named "Culture of". Marcocapelle (talk) 10:20, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:48, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merge Category:555 crimes to Category:6th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:562 crimes to Category:6th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:584 crimes to Category:6th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:627 crimes to Category:7th-century crimes

 * Propose merge Category:928 crimes to Category:10th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:946 crimes to Category:10th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:967 crimes to Category:10th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:978 crimes to Category:10th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:979 crimes to Category:10th-century crimes
 * Propose merge Category:1000 crimes to Category:10th-century crimes
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, mostly just one article per category. A double upmerge (also to year categories) is undesirable because these categories mainly contain biographies (murder victims and occasionally murderers) who do not belong in a year category directly. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:55, 25 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom Too small categories. Dimadick (talk) 10:13, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Certainly merge However, I would question how many of these ought to be directly in a crimes category, since most are "murders", largely political assassinations. Indeed most would be better in a murder victims category (or murderers).   For at least one I could not see what was supposed to be the crime. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:03, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
