Category:Provocative painters

 * 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) DannyS712 (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting provocative painters


 * Nominator's rationale: Not really a useful category title. I've never heard of "provocative" as an adjective used to describe a school of artists. While the idea of art being provocative may be worth discussion, it seems like this category is being used as a catchall for any artists someone may find "provocative". Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:13, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. How the painters were perceived is better handled in the article space. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:55, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete as subjective. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:14, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Species endangered by agricultural development

 * 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 as specified by nom (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 11:37, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Species endangered by sugarcane plantations to Category:Species endangered by agricultural development
 * Propose deleting Category:Species endangered by coffee plantations
 * Propose deleting Category:Species endangered by rubber plantations
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT and uncited, i.e. the single member articles in these categories, Common box turtle and Agile gibbon, do not mention threats from these specific crops. The gibbon is in another sibling category Category:Species endangered by oil palm plantations which is more worth keeping, hence there is no need to merge the second and third categories. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:24, 10 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Support - there are other dubious categories within Category:Endangered species by reason they are threatened. Oculi (talk) 20:34, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Of the 191 country categories in Category:Transport organizations by country, 55 use 'in' and 136 use 'based in'. Moreover every country uses the format of e.g. Category:Organisations based in Antigua and Barbuda; the rationale is that Air France (say) will operate in many countries but is based in France. Oculi (talk) 12:57, 10 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Support, "based in" is the normal format for nearly all organizations categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support, "based in" allows us to avoid categorizing companies and organizations with multiple offices, in every county where they appen to operate. Dimadick (talk) 10:24, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Category:Samsung Gear games

 * 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: relisted, see here. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 20:31, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Samsung Gear games to Category:Samsung Gear VR games
 * Nominator's rationale: "Samsung Gear" is not a single software platform (there are Gear VR, Gear S3, Gear Sport, Gear Fit, etc.); the only common feature of "Samsung Gear games" might be that they are games for a mobile Samsung device whose name includes the words "Samsung Gear". All the current pages in the category are actually games for Samsung Gear VR. The name "Samsung Gear VR games" would be consistent with categories for games for other VR headset, e.g. HTC Vive games, Oculus Rift games, PlayStation VR games, etc. Martin Kraus (talk) 10:31, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Category:Catholic newspapers and magazines

 * 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: split. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:15, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Catholic newspapers and magazines to Category:Catholic newspapers and Category:Catholic magazines
 * Nominator's rationale: For pretty obvious reasons, 'and' categories are a pain. There's no parent 'newspapers and magazines' tree, through, sigh, there are also three subcategories of this (Category:Catholic newspapers and magazines in Italy, Category:Catholic newspapers and magazines in the United States, Category:Traditionalist Catholic newspapers and magazines). that could be added to this discussion, I guess (I tagged them as well, hope it's done correctly). PS. Related - Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_27 where the split was already proposed. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:32, 10 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Split per nom, into subcats of the existing Category:Christian newspapers and Category:Christian magazines. Oculi (talk) 18:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support, this is obvious indeed. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:58, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support These are different category trees. Dimadick (talk) 10:25, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. A list of the current contents can be found on the talk page (Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 April 10) (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:16, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame inductees
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * The National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame is an award given by the National Lacrosse League during their All Start game and, so far, it's a virtual only museum. Most of the recipient articles mention the award in passing so it doesn't seem defining, although handfule have it in the lede. There is a lot of overlap both the other NLL award categories as well as the two other Lacross HOF categories. The contents of the category are already listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:06, 10 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Background We deleted another NLL award category in CFD here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:06, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * DElete as OCAWARD: Listify if necessary. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Bowls New Zealand Hall of Fame inductees
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * We don't have a main article for the Bowls New Zealand Hall of Fame but they appear to be an internet only museum at this web site for the sport I know as "Lawn bowling". Most of the articles mention it in passing but it doesn't seem defining. The articles are already well-categorized in the Category:New Zealand bowls players tree. (I saved the current category contents here and here so no work is lost when someone goes to create the main article.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:06, 10 April 2019 (UTC)


 * DElete as OCAWARD: Listify if necessary. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
