Category:Boating accident deaths

 * 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: keep, noting that this discussion has led to Category:Water transport deaths being added as a helpful new parent over the nominated category and the target. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:30, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Boating accident deaths to Category:Deaths due to shipwreck
 * Nominator's rationale: While there is a difference in meaning between boating (which our article says is for pleasure and sport) not for transportation and shipwreck (which means the boat is defunct in WP parlance - so wouldn't include person-overboard type scenarios), I'm not sure the distinction of which lead to one's death is meaningful. Moreover, many of the articles included in the boating category are transport related and are the result of the ship capsizing, sinking, or otherwise being shipwrecked. Therefore, merge the two.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 00:48, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * People can be killed by boats without any shipwreck. The six articles I sampled none of them mentioned a ship of any sort.   Rathfelder (talk) 22:33, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If merged, the target should be broad enough to include boating and transportation ships and to include with and without shipwreck. For example Category:Ship accident deaths. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:11, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This is a difficult one. They are both Category:Transport accidental deaths. But not both Category:Deaths by drowning. I'd say the by Drowning was far more important than whether they were on a boat or ship (or kayak or raft). But, they are both well-populated. How about Category:Deaths by drowning on water transport?
 * Leaning oppose. I would keep these separate, and provide clear delineation between what constitutes a "boating accident" and what constitutes a "shipwreck". I can easily think of a situation where, for example, a boat passes under a bridge or other raised structure, an inobservant person on the boat stands up at an inopportune moment and is struck in the head, and they die without either drowning or being in a shipwreck. Of course, many deaths in boating accidents will either be drowning deaths, or will involve the "wreck" of the boat, but there needs to be room for the edge cases. BD2412  T 07:30, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * People killed in boating accidents may not have been in the boat. See Kirsty MacColl.Rathfelder (talk) 22:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename to , and make the shipwrecks cat a subcategory of it. Grutness... wha?   00:23, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Or create Category:Water transport accident deaths as a parent of both Category:Boating accident deaths and Category:Deaths due to shipwreck; and move articles from Category:Boating accident deaths to the new parent category if they aren't really about boating. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:55, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 12:36, 27 December 2020 (UTC) William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:54, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename Category:Boating accident deaths to Category:Water transport deaths, and Category:Deaths due to shipwreck to Category:Water transport deaths by drowning as a subcategory. No need to specify "accident" or "accidental". No need for type of ship/raft/canoe. Later rename Category:Deaths due to ship fires (currently poorly placed under shipwreck) to Category:Water transport deaths by fire.
 * Leaning to oppose -- I appreciate that the distinction is a fuzzy one. In sampling articles, I find that "boating accident" is the phrase commonly used.  Some are sporting incidents (e.g. sailing); others are leisure boating.  This is well populated and the related categories of shipwreck and death by drowning are cross-referenced.  A lot of the boat incidents appeared to be in rivers or lakes; also yachts in coastal waters.  The converse of shipwreck may refer to a commercial sailor or a passenger in a larger vessel (ship) and crossing the sea. I think we should leave it to the discretion of editors whether the incident involved a "boat" or a "ship".  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:08, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * But the reason we're here is "discreation of editors" isn't working well. Evidence of confusion between boating and shipwreck. Better to rename with clear category names that editors will instantly recognize, less likely to put things in the wrong category. They can die of drowning or fire without being in a "shipwreck".
 * I have moved 4 articles from Category:Boating accident deaths to Category:Deaths due to shipwreck as they were clearly misclassified. But Peterkingiron is right that the other articles in Category:Boating accident deaths use the term "boating accident" quite consistently, so we should probably stick to that. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:56, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I.e. count me in with leaning oppose. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 28 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose You don't need a shipwreck to be killed in a boating accident. I would not oppose the creation of 'Category:Water transport deaths as a parent category. Dimadick (talk) 12:58, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose and SNOW close Off the top of my head, Kirsty MacColl and Naya Rivera didn't die in shipwrecks, but accidents involving boats that remained afloat. Boating itself is a form of leisure activity and any number of accidents can result in death by injury or drowning. This nom is completely misguided, and the comments above show that nobody is confusing anything. Kingsif (talk) 19:27, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile I created Category:Water transport deaths as a parent category. Presumably the discussion can be closed with no further action required. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:54, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose there are lots of ways to die in a boating accident that is in no way a shipwrieck.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:10, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Association football in the United States lists to Category:Soccer in the United States lists
 * Nominator's rationale: Same as previous proposal. "Association football" is included in only one title, the page that is listed below for renaming. DB1729 (talk) 22:23, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - in that case the many countries that only have "football" as the name of the sport should also be changed accordingly (e.g., England). Grutness... wha?   00:26, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If you mean those under Category:Association football-related lists by country, I would agree. A few are already in line with that now: Category:Football in Germany lists; Category:Swedish football-related lists; Category:Soccer in Australia lists; Category:Soccer in South Africa lists. --DB1729 (talk) 09:58, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yup, those are the ones :) Grutness... wha?   11:17, 25 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Rename to reflect local usage, but do not change the rest. In most countries, "football" means soccer, but in USA, Australia, and perhaps a few other places, it refers primarily to another sport.  Local usage should be used, without changing anything else, including parents.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge for Now While there likely were more than 5 mayors for each place, most would not be individually notable. No objection to recreating if any get up to 5+ articles but, right now, these hinder navigation with a bunch of underpopulated categories. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:07, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Understood on the use of "association football" on most of the sport's pages. That said, every article title in this category contains the word "soccer". None contain the word "football". And of course, "football" generally refers to a completely different sport in the U.S. DB1729 (talk) 22:15, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Baptist congregations

 * 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: manual merge, based on the discussion here and related categories (noted in this discussion) that were discussed is separate nominations. Following the lead of, in the cases where the congregations were established in an earlier century than the buildings, I moved them up to, e.g., Category:Baptist organizations established in the 18th century. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:27, 10 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Propose manually merging Category:Baptist congregations established in the 18th century‎ to Category:18th-century Baptist churches‎
 * Propose manually merging Category:Baptist congregations established in the 19th century‎ to Category:19th-century Baptist churches‎
 * Propose manually merging Category:Baptist congregations established in the 20th century‎ to Category:20th-century Baptist churches‎
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, largely overlapping scope. A manual merge is needed because the articles in the Baptist congregations categories may already be in a US subcat of Baptist churches. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:12, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Support — matching Categories for discussion/Log/2020 December 18
 * Mild support. This is an improvement as congregations are not notable per se, but churches is more ambiguous than e.g. church buildings as it also refers to church bodies. For Baptists though I believe that each local church is an independent organization so churches is applicable. Place Clichy (talk) 08:28, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose, and if merger is done then it should be done manually, e.g. Gillfield Baptist Church (Petersburg, Virginia) was established as a congregation in C18 but meets in a C19 church building. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * They built "four successive church buildings at this site." So they were originally in the 1818 church building, as would be expected. If you propose that each and every building renovation or replacement is documented in the categories, I'm not entirely sure that the current "yyyy constructed building or structure" system cannot be used. But do we really want that?
 * It should be done manually anyway (that is the proposal, at least), so this is just an extra point of attention. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:49, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I would suggest that the article be categorised only by (i) the century in which the congregation was established, and (ii) the year the current building was opened, unless the article has a substantial separate section about a previous building. Renovations are rarely defining. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:24, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That sounds OK. But we already have two trees for that: "nth-century churches" in Category:Churches by century for the founding, plus "yyyy constructed building or structure" in Category:Buildings and structures by year of completion for the current building.
 * Please would you link to the two hierarchies you are thinking of? AFAIC, for churches, the tree for founding was "congregations established in", but that tree has almost entirely been felled now, leaving only the three categories in this nomination, Category:Oriental Orthodox congregations by century of establishment, and their generic parent hierarchy Category:Christian organizations by century of establishment; the other hierarchy Category:Churches by century is obviously applicable to construction of church buildings. I have suggested the possibility of also using the latter for the founding dates of the congregations, which would take advantage of the ambiguity of the word "churches". – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've updated my two examples with the roots of the trees above. There is already precedent per Categories for discussion/Log/2015 May 1 (you participated). Category:Christian congregations by century of establishment is already a category redirect (by your edit), so any remaining "congregations by century of establishment" should probably be deleted/merged.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:44, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Baptist churches built in the 19th century‎ (etc) with the option of also having Category:Baptist churches established in the 18th century‎, where the church currently used is not the original one. Using "churches built" removes the ambiguity over the multiple meanings of church, as building, Christian community, and denomination. There is liable to need to be some significant manual recategorisation for churches not using their original building.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:20, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Better still Category:Baptist churches founded in the 18th century‎ for those subsequently moved or rebuilt. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:23, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Agree "founded" is better than "established". But, we already have "yyyy constructed" and "yyyy demolished" for buildings subsequently moved or rebuilt, so we don't need yet another category.


 * Comment founded may be a better term than established, period. However that move would need to be based on moving this whole huge tree. There is no reason to suppose this is unique even to churches, I am thinking whther we say founded or established effects everything.
 * Reverse merge that way we put the articles in categories that clearly say this is about when they were founded/established, not just that they existed in those times.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note, I just closed Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_December_21 as merge/rename to "churches". In the cases of the articles where the congregations were established in an earlier century than the buildings, I moved them up to e.g. Category:Presbyterian organizations established in the 18th century; but perhaps it would be acceptable for such an article to be in both "18th-century churches" and "19th-century churches". – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment the regions issue again here. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Fixed.
 * Not fixed because Subdivisions is broad enough to contain Regions too, so that makes it a more useful parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * You have it backwards. Read the main article, especilly sections 2.5 and 2.6. Regions subsumes other divisions. It is the parent, not the child.
 * Interesting, so the article Region uses the word "region" the same way as the categories use "subdivision". Ultimately it is just a matter of definition, so ultimately I am indifferent, but I thought the word "region" is primarily used for informal regions (including historical and touristic). Marcocapelle (talk) 14:35, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That's why we ask subject matter experts. Remember that in English (and its legal system), "subdivisions" are smaller than "divisions", that in turn are smaller than "baronies", "counties", etc. It's been a long time since I'd RFC'd Tobias Conradi in 2005, and asked for arbitration twice, so I'm a bit fuzzy on all the details. After s/he was banned, all these "country subdivisions" were supposed to go back to "administrative divisions" and "political divisions". Many were done. Lots of redirects still around, too. Besides, a guy with 150+ sockpuppets can do a lot of damage over time. One of the worst we've ever seen.
 * Sounds reasonable. So then the fix for regions (after implementing the proposed rename) is to replace parent Category:Subdivisions of Russia by Category:Geography of Russia; and for the nominated renamed category to replace parent Category:Geography of Russia by Category:Regions of Russia. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No, for several reasons. But this subsection is getting 10 indents deep, so....
 * I've long been favorable to flatter hierarchies. Centuries with a hundred year subcategories, not decades with only 10.
 * Deep/tall hierarchies are annoying to navigate.
 * On a wider computer screen, it wastes lot of real estate, and you have to click through again and again.
 * On a small phone screen, you cannot see enough at a time, and you have to click through again. And again. And again.
 * So I'd put as much as possible under Category:Geography of Russia, with a navigation template (that does not yet exist) to slide sideways between top level things like Regions and others like Selsoviet/Somon/Sumon that are actually the same thing in different places.
 * It also means a tolerance for smaller categories at the bottom of the hierarchy. Just because there is only 1 entry, and it will not be likely to expand, doesn't mean it needs to be merged somewhere else.
 * Another thing that Conradi did is a massive Template (that s/he kept changing the name, so there are different redirects to it all over the place). I've been wrestling with it for a couple of days now. It purports to have all the geography "types" and "terms" for all languages in one template. Everytime you make a change, it propagates to hundreds of articles. Somebody changed it so it always defaults to collapsed and doesn't take up the bottom half of the screen on every article. But hard to maintain. A few days ago, it was full of redlinks. After I've fixed a dozen or so things, it is obviously missing many more after 10 years. So it needs to be pruned, and instead access our categories that already update dynamically.
 * So Category:Regions of Russia would sit side by side with Category:Political divisions of Russia and Category:Administrative divisions of Russia.
 * Anyway, that's what I'd like....

William Allen Simpson (talk) 12:51, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I am afraid you are sort of contradicting yourself. In your edit of 11:50, 24 December 2020, you seem to suggest that Regions should be the highest level in the hierarchy, per article Region, esp 2.5 and 2.6. Then Category:Subdivisions of Russia (whether or not renamed) and Category:Administrative divisions of Russia should become subcats of Category:Regions of Russia, or they should be merged into it. If you prefer flatter hierarchies, merging would be preferable. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:14, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * NO, I said "subsumes". Human geography is messy. I'd prefer Regions would be side-by-side with Political divisions and Administrative divisions for ease of navigation, because most Regions have nothing to do with either Political divisions and/or Administrative divisions, and they all can cross each other's boundaries. If you want a strict hierarchy, that's it: Regions -> Political divisions -> Administrative divisions, largest to smallest size, upper to lower level.
 * Messy indeed. But then I wonder what you want to leave in Category:Political divisions of Russia, ultimately. As you want to move Administrative divisions to the Geography level, and presumably you want to move Economic regions to Geography level as well, and presumably you want to split the Former category, there is not much left in Political divisions than Federal subjects, which already has its own category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

 * 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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:28, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:C-type stars to Category:Carbon stars
 * Nominator's rationale: Nobody calls this type of star a C-type star, they are referred to as carbon stars, occasionally by more complex terms such as carbon-rich something or other. See the main article for the category as an example.  "C-type" is misleading since the spectral type for these stars often doesn't begin with C, depending on the scheme used. Lithopsian (talk) 19:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Support: the proposed name would be clearer and reduce potential confusion. While assigning this category to a star article I initially assumed it would be 'Carbon stars', and had to track down the alternate category name through the Carbon star article.

 * Another mistake by banned, long overdue for renaming.
 * Not too sure because it also contains subCategory:Regions of India. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:13, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm only proposing this single category. The fact that others are misnamed or poorly organized is not this issue. The usual geopolitical hierarchy is:
 * Nation
 * Political division (see Political divisions of the United States and Administrative geography of the United Kingdom)
 * Administrative division (see Administrative division, Category:Administrative divisions of the United States by state, and United Kingdom, administrative divisions)
 * Many/most of these terms come from Britain, so I'd be very surprised that India does not follow them.
 * One can also argue that the hierarchy should be:
 * Country
 * Parts of country (whether political divisions, administratieve divisions or informal regions)
 * I suppose the subdivisions tree is meant for the latter. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:08, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. In India and other South Asian countries, Division (country subdivision) is a specific type of second-level administrative entity, see and List of divisions in India. When I first found it,  was a mess. How could the proposed scheme avoid the confusion between both types of administrative divisions? Place Clichy (talk) 21:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That has nothing to do with this nomination, but glad you are helping improve it.
 * Note that article is a stub with no references, another started by Conradi.
 * The lead actually says: "A division is a type of administrative division...."
 * I'd recommend renaming it to Division (political geography) as it is labeled a geography stub, matching Political geography, and turn it into a list with actual references.
 * As to the related category, it doesn't really serve a purpose. It only has 4 entries, so SMALLCAT. The Division (political geography) list article should be sufficient with proper references.
 * William Allen Simpson (talk) 21:49, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've handled the rename to Division (political geography). Eventually, to be more useful it should have details about various kinds of "division" at many levels.


 * REname per nom, but purge of items that ought to be in subcategories. This should be a container with a few general articles, excludign those on individual divisions etc.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:34, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Upmerge also to Category:Fictional nurses, which will then be at 139 entires, which is reasonable.

This is however not the case of the two states in this category, which use the word mandal. This renaming removes the ambiguity and sticks to common practice in naming categories for country subdivisions. Also, by state is repeated in the current title, an obvious mistake.

 * Reverse merge and prune Strongly Oppose — The proper political science and geomapping term is "Administrative Division". Banned spammed "country subdivisions" all over the place, but that isn't technically correct. It often arrives as a mistranslation from French or German, especially in ISO 3166-2. You can often recognize it by "levels of subdivisions". These compounding words are not proper English grammar.
 * Category:Administrative divisions was created in 2008: "This category is for types of administrative divisions".
 * Category:Types of country subdivisions was created in 2010, and apparently has accreted a lot of unrelated cruft.
 * Instead, we really need to rename Category:Types of country subdivisions to match the main article: List of administrative divisions by country. All Administrative divisions are within a country.
 * I've tagged Category:Types of country subdivisions.
 * "Subdivision is the act of dividing land into pieces that are easier to sell or otherwise develop, usually via a plat." Much smaller than Administrative divisions.
 * William Allen Simpson (talk) 18:17, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Status quo would result in keeping this rump category with 3 articles (Circuit (administrative division), County seat, Municipality) and 3 child categories which belong in Category:Types of country subdivisions anyway. I suggest merging one way or another, without prejudice for a later renaming of all (country) subdivisions categories. Place Clichy (talk) 21:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I've tagged the target, and changed to Reverse merge and prune. That should make us both happier.
 * I think that the category that would need to be reverse merged under this logic is Category:Country subdivisions (and its many children). The Types of... category is fine and should follow the name of its parent, keeping a structure with one category for the types and another category for the actual administrative entities:
 * Either, and
 * Or, and
 * This then leaves the question of how to treat lower-level administrative division, such as Place Clichy (talk) 09:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 00:13, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge both together as the scope of both categories overlap. If "subdivision" is not a proper English term in this context, then at least I was not aware of that, but I will leave it to others to discuss that. Note however that the alternative "administrative divisions" will leave us with the problem where to leave subCategory:Regions. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:37, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That probably doesn't belong here. Look at the main article. It was recently added here by Rathfelder, but "Continental regions", "Historical regions", "Tourism region", etc. are not relevant here. I'll remove it.
 * Please do not remove it yet. That would only be appropriate if (and after) there is consensus to narrow this category to Administrative divisions. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:09, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

The term "Country subdivision" was a neologism of User:Tobias Conradi, one of whose many sockpuppets was User:Country subdivision. These were all supposed to be fixed (and many articles were simply deleted), but sadly others linger a decade later. It is so easy to spam categories, and so much harder to fix them.

 * Nominator's rationale: Controversial category and likely ORish. Added to three articles, none of which contains the term "war crime" in the body, so this just a POV that those incidents are "war crimes". I did a quick Google Book search for Sahryń "war crime" / Pawłokoma "war crime" / Dubingiai "war crime" and got zero meaningful hits. Likewise, I cannot find any reliable source using the term "Home Army war crimes " or "War crimes committed by the Home Army".

 * This seems rather like an argument for renaming “War crimes committed by Ukrainian Insurgent Army” - although it depends on how the sources refer to these massacres - rather than keeping this as is. The pl category is not referring to “war crimes” so I’m not clear on how this one is suppose to be based on that one.  Volunteer Marek   09:52, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, here is the difference. Even a cursory search turns up sources for “UPA war crimes”, , , etc. On the other hand, a search for “Home Army war crimes” (or similar) turns up... ONLY this Wikipedia category. That’s pretty good indication that this, unlike the case with UPA, is just your own original research.   Volunteer Marek   09:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or Rename to "Massacres committed by the Home Army" since some Home Army units committed revenge attacks on Ukrainians (more here Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia -  GizzyCatBella  🍁  17:17, 26 December 2020 (UTC) added later - After thinking about it, I believe such a category would be WP:UNDUE since those retaliation strikes and massacres were very few (3?); I am leaning now to delete that cat. all together. -   GizzyCatBella  🍁  19:49, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Massacres committed by the Home Army. The category and its parent needs a headnote saying that the Home Army was the main armed resistance in World War II Poland, loyal to the government in exile in London.  At least one was a revenge attack.  As far as I know, no one was convicted of a war crime for any of these massacres.  It is not for WP to adjudge guilt: that fails NPOV.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Indeed, Renaming in such context makes sense. Also, Buidhe pointed out that this is what the Polish corresponding category actually sais. While in Polish, 'zbrodnia' literary means 'crime', Polish Wikipedia uses this term where we use massacre. For example, one of the articles included here, Dubingiai massacre, is pl:Zbrodnia w Dubinkach, and same for the others. They might be war crimes, but it's OR to call them that, but they are undisputable massacres and this is the right category tree for such tragedies. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Home Army was an authorized military formation of the Polish Underground State, so the category should be consisted with other armed forces of WWII. No renaming is necessary, since massacres and reprisals are subcategories of the larger war crimes category. As far as the "no one was convicted of a war crime" argument goes, criminal convictions are not necessary to meet the definition of a war crime. Many events in WWII history w/o criminal convictions are classified as war crime. --K.e.coffman (talk) 18:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not only were none of these persecuted or charged as war crimes, none of them are actually described as war crimes in reliable sources. Hence, this is pure WP:OR with a side of POV.  Volunteer Marek   09:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - None of the articles in the cat seem to make reference to them being war crimes. It is not for us to decide if they are or not, that should be left to RS inside each article. So since none of the articles in the cat seem to have RS supporting their inclusion it would be an empty cat. I could also see a rename to avoid the OR issue. PackMecEng (talk) 03:41, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Is there even a rule that categories that temporarily become empty need to be deleted? Secondly, I checked the relevant category on the Polish Wikipedia. It includes articles about events that are clearly defined as war crimes with in-line references provided. See: . I mean even if there are shortcomings with the current articles, the category surely has potential and shouldn't be deleted.

 * Yes, categories that are empty for 7 days are eligible for speedy deletion under WP:C1. PackMecEng (talk) 13:11, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, but the issue remains that at least some of these events have been described as war crimes in reliable sources. See - specifically mentions Dubinki as such.

 * Keep, as it is not original research to say that the massacre of civilians, infants included, is a war crime. This could be renamed to Civilian massacres committed by the Home Army, which would then be a sub-category of other crimes (rape, looting, and so on), but this is much trouble for a now small category.--Astral Leap (talk) 15:08, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If the source does not call it a war crime it is indeed original research to call it that. PackMecEng (talk) 16:28, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Just a point of clarification which is relevant here. Above Buidhe says that the category is based on the Pl-wiki category pl:Kategoria:Zbrodnie oddziałów Armii Krajowej. But that is not the same thing. "Zbrodnia" (-e, plural) means "crime". So the pl-wiki category is "Crimes by units of the Home Army". Not "WAR CRIMES by the Home Army". Otherwise it would be "zbrodnie wojenne". This looks purposeful since none of these are generally referred to as "war crimes" even though they were obviously crimes. Likewise the distinction between "Home Army" and "units of Home Army" looks to have a purpose. The three massacres in this cat currently were not ordered by the Home Army but rather were either rogue units "AK-associated" units. For example, Pawłokoma massacre took place March 3 1945. But the Home Army had been disbanded in January of 1945. So this wasn't "Home Army", although some of the participants had formerly been in the Home Army.  Volunteer Marek   21:47, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That said, pl wiki category systems two levels up (a parent category for :pl:Kategoria:Zbrodnie oddziałów Armii Krajowej) is pl:Kategoria:Zbrodnie wojenne... --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  09:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah but that’s simply due to the fact that pl wiki cat system is a total mess. Not sure why we’d want to emulate that (obviously “war crimes” are a subcategory of “crimes”, not vice versa)  Volunteer Marek   23:52, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. If this is kept, I think we need some kind of container category. I also found Category:War crimes committed by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and Category:War crimes of the Independent State of Croatia. I think the main issue is to make sure there are reliable sources calling events included in such controversial categories 'war crimes'. If such sources can be found, then such categories should exist. Going back to the ongoing discussion, did anyone find any RS calling the three massacres currently present in this category (Dubingiai massacre, Pawłokoma massacre and Sahryń massacre 'war crimes'?

 * , any intentional murder of civilians is a war crime, full stop. Basically any event that could be described as a "massacre" and occurs in wartime is a war crime. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  13:10, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Buidhe, you can't construct this definition yourself. That's original research (it's incorrect too if for no other reason than it has to occur during a war). On Wikipedia we rely on reliable sources.  Volunteer Marek   15:07, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * And you most definitely need sources if you start attributing to people or organizations ("War crime committed by XYZ"). You can't just WP:OR it.  Volunteer Marek   15:08, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I concur per WP:REDFLAG and like. Exceptional/controversial claims require good sources. We can't be the ones to be the first to call something a 'war crime'. It is the very definition of OR. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:56, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or rename there are no reliable sources confirming this terminology as far as I can see. The category on Polish wikipedia doesn't translate as war crimes.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 16:19, 12 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment The category tree of "X nationality war crimes" is used for all similar events, and the criticism of it applies to the entire category tree. Therefore, any renames should apply to the entire category tree because treating war crimes by the Home Army differently from war crimes by literally any other group is clearly contrary to WP:NPOV. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  16:17, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I don’t think this is true. Other “similar” categories have actual sources to back it up. You got no sources here what so ever.  Volunteer Marek   23:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I looked for English terms "War crimes committed by the Home Army", "Home Army war crime(s)" and "Armia Krajowa war crime(s)", and Polish "Zbrodnie wojenne Armii Krajowej", on Google Books and Google Scholar and I came away with nothing. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually the articles in Category:War crimes committed by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army don't mention the phrase "war crime". I'd say if this category is deleted, that one should be as well. In Category:Soviet World War II crimes it doesn't seem like most of the articles such as Deportations of the Ingrian Finns, Massacre of Broniki, or Kharkiv tragedy use the phrase "war crime". Even Category:Nazi war crimes (these were actually prosecuted to a certain extent, so legal terminology is more likely to be applied) has members that don't describe the event as a "war crime", such as Sonderaktion 1005. Per my investigation, the standard of sourcing that you expect just does not exist for other categories in the "war crimes" tree, so either no action should be taken or the entire category tree needs to be redone. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  06:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment please see my comment above. Some of these events have been described as war crimes in reliable sources. See - specifically mentions Dubinki as such. (The book title translates "Glinciszki and Dubinki. War Crimes in the Vilnius Area in Mid-1944 and Their Repurcussions In Today's Polish-Lithuanian Relations"). It was published by the IPN when the institution still had non-nationalist credentials, so why should we omit such a good source? I am mostly active on Russian Wiki so I was quite unaware of set limits for newbies to edit some articles (tho how exactly Dubingiai massacre relates to Poland&Holocaust remains unclear), my relevant edits got reverted. A more experienced user might reinstate my changes to said article. Knižnik (talk) 15:52, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Reverse merge Category:Naturalised citizens of Belgium to parent Category:People with acquired Belgian citizenship. As noted, almost all the "acquired" categories are empty other than a single subcategory. But laws differ, so no need to distinguish "naturalised" as opposed to dual or honorary citizenship, thus "acquired" is a better naming scheme.
 * I'm quite happy with a reverse merge in principle, but I think in some places it may not work because acquired and naturalised are different things. Rathfelder (talk) 21:07, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

 * you might try asking for further comments at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Law. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:25, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Done that, without much success. I think the problem is that citizenship is complex and by definition varies from country to country - and often over time too, and the necessary expertise is not available to us.  So I'm inclined to suggest that we should use "People with acquired Fooish citizenship" as the default for all countries where the "Naturalised citizens of Foo" category doesnt contain any actual articles.  If that is supported I suppose I had better nominate them all.  Rathfelder (talk) 17:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. But let's finish this as an example, then do groups. Tagging too many at a time just invites thrashing.

 * Merge I have sought sources on which term is better in general, but don't have anything comprehensive to report here. In principle, to "acquire citizenship" is a more neutral and inclusive term than "naturalize" (or "naturalise"), but it looks like the latter is used pretty much universally in English-language materials.

 * Nominator's rationale: As raised at a recent CfD (for which I was the nom), the usual name for these in English is "municipality", as evidenced by the fact that the parent is Category:Municipalities of Italy, which was moved there from "Communes of Italy" after a CfD in 2014.  Indeed, the closer of that CfD requested that all these categories be tagged for speedy renaming per WP:C2C, but six years on seems a little late to try to do that as consensus may have changed.  WP:C2C doesn't seem to apply otherwise because this is a proposal to rename the majority of subcategories of Category:Municipalities of Italy (a few are titled with "Municipalities of..." already).  <b style="color:#049">YorkshireLad</b>  ✿  <b style="color:#052">(talk)</b> 00:58, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting child suicides


 * Propose deleting students who committed suicide


 * Propose deleting college students who committed suicide


 * Propose deleting high school students who committed suicide


 * Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. No notable WP:DEFINING link between the occupation and the manner of death. Also, High school and College students aren't Children, and often aren't minors. Many/most are duplicated or triplicated in the subcategories and other parallel subcategories.


 * Based upon WP:C2D by main article Youth suicide:
 * Alternative rename child suicides to Category:Youth suicides


 * Alternative merge high school students who committed suicide to Category:Youth suicides


 * Note: Sources about the death of a person will often discuss both their education status and their cause of death. This doesn't make this intersection any more notable than a combination with other aspects often discussed in such notices, such as their number of siblings, and the occupations of their parents.

 * These ones could be disputed. It is not so much their occupation (student) but their young age which matters. Their suïcide may well be their primary reason of notability. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. A number seem to identify bullying and ant-LGBT slurs and these typically are "Suicide of..." articles, like with Suicide of Jadin Bell and Suicide of Hamed Nastoh. I don't think the student part is what's defining though. Category:Bullying victims who committed suicide or Category:Minors who committed suicide might be closer. - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:26, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * We already have Category:LGBT-related suicides and Category:Bullying and suicide with articles. We have Category:Child suicides (a parent, although it should not be, as College students aren't minors). Maybe replaced by Category:Suicides by age as a neutral grouping?
 * Added the parent Category:Child suicides and some verbiage.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 14:22, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete in the current age so many people are enrolled in college over so much of their life, often as part-time students, this is less defining than the creators of the category act as it is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:42, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * After Category:Child suicides has been added to the nomination I definitely oppose deletion of Category:Child suicides and Category:High school students who committed suicide for reasons mentioned earlier. Together these are the two components of RD's proposal of Category:Minors who committed suicide. I do not have an issue with deleting Category:College students who committed suicide or Category:Students who committed suicide. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:52, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment some of these folks are only notable for their manner of death, so some aggregation may be ok but outright deletion may be wrong. I don't like the Category:Minors who committed suicide, which although provides an arguably objective inclusion criteria (although laws among jurisdictions define minority differently and may even have internal differentiation with respect to what disabilities/protections of minority pertain to what ages) misses the point of navigation among school age folks (who depending on regional laws may have reached majority). Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:41, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * We may merge Category:Child suicides and Category:High school students who committed suicide to Category:Youth suicides instead, C2D per article Youth suicide. That will probably resolve your concerns. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:56, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Child and High School to "Youth Suicides"/Delete College I'm totally open to a different name for the student categories, since it's really the combination of youth and suicide that is defining, not their student status as a "career" per Marcocapelle. Delete college per JPL. RevelationDirect (talk) 19:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Acceptable to me, especially with the C2D per article Youth suicide. I've added as an option to the OP.
 * I would have preferred something concrete defining "youth" but given that we have other far far less-than-perfect categorization schemes, I can live with that too. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose deletion -- No objection to merger. I do not think we should be eliminating categories for children who killed themselves due to cyber-bullying or social media pointing those looking into self-harm to more webpages on that subject.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see this as trivial, and the sources cover it. Dimadick (talk) 13:06, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. Something I'd like to point out is that we have a lot of pages in these categories where the article pagename is "Suicide of name of person", and the pagename "Name of person" is a redirect to the suicide-of page. There has been a consensus for a long time that the suicide-of pages are about the event (suicide) rather than about the person, and that the event is notable for our purposes whereas the person is not notable except for the event (as in WP:BLP1E). Thus, for example, we have Suicide of Tyler Clementi, to which Tyler Clementi is a redirect, and Category:Male violinists is applied to the redirect (because it's a category about types of persons), but not to the main suicide-of page (because it's not a category about types of suicides). Thus, I can see a case for renaming categories like Category:Students who committed suicide to something like Category:Student suicides or Category:Suicides by students. In other words, make the category names about the suicides rather than about the persons. Once one does this, it makes more sense to keep the various sub-categories, such as for college students or high school students, because they are logical sub-topics. Furthermore, although I agree that suicide is not a defining feature for these various student groups in general, the facts that these pages are about suicides by these particular groups of young people, whose suicides were triggered by social characteristics of high schools, colleges, and so forth, according to large amounts of reliable sourcing that focus upon the school environment as having caused the suicides, these categories are defining of the suicides and should be kept in revised form. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:25, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Oh fudge, I was going to nominate those targets next, using this as precedent.... (If the royalty are trivial, the non-royalty are even more trivial.)
 * This shouldn't necessarily stop you from the nomination of the targets, but the rationale for sure will not be a trivial intersection with occupation. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:08, 25 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose -- This is NOT a trivial intersection. In these cases (or most of them) there is a clear link between being royal and committing suicide.  Some were commanded to kill themselves (which is more like an execution than a modern suicide).  Others faced a political situation where they had lost power and killed themselves, probably as a preferable alternative to starving to death in prison or being publicly executed.  One of the Macedonians was given a noose, hemlock and something else and told to choose her mode of death.  That is not a voluntary suicide.  Similarly in the Roman world, it was accepted that those who had failed should "fall on their sword".  I suspect that something similar applies in the Chinese cases.  This is all quite different from most modern western suicides, which are the result of depression or other mental illness.  Thus today, a coroner's verdict of (plain) suicide is rare, but usual one being suicide during mental illness (or such like). Peterkingiron (talk) 17:18, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SORTKEY, WP:OVERLAPCAT and maybe WP:IDONTLIKEIT
 * We have a standard category for military decorations and medals of South Africa named Category:Military decorations and medals of South Africa which sorts the contents alphabetically so the Van Riebeeck Decoration is near the end because it starts with "V". (With me so far?)
 * But those same articles are also in Category:Military decorations and medals of South Africa in order of precedence but this time the Van Riebeeck Decoration is near the beginning because it's an important award.
