 * Merge to Category:Villages in Dakshina Kannada district per WP:SMALLCAT and oppose rename, surrounding villages in a town category does not make sense. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:56, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge per nominator. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 20:36, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Can't help but wonder whether "images" would be better wording for the entire req scheme given that all photos are images, but not vice versa. That's a debate for another day though. Grutness... wha?   04:19, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

 * I see no such standard based on a check of numerous sub-categories in Category:Films by series by genre. The category contains the films and only the films and the name should reflect that; the proposed name suggests it is an eponymous category for an article about the series, which does not exist.

 * The result of the discussion was: manual deletion. MER-C 11:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting special natural monuments


 * Nominator's rationale: Most of the articles in this category are species (e.g. Rock ptarmigan, Crested ibis, Bonin white-eye, Firefly squid) for which having this designation is a non-defining characteristic. See also WP:OC.  The list here (at the bottom of the table) shows that if this category was complete it would also include e.g. Otter. DexDor(talk) 17:00, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: The list (and maybe some of the non-species articles) should be upmerged to the parent category Category:Natural monuments of Japan which should also be purged of articles about species (e.g. Dormouse). DexDor(talk) 04:49, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer, these categories only contain one subcategory each. The amount of en.wp articles about Islam before the year 1979 is too small to populate these decade categories decently. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:18, 11 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Populate where possible but delete where still small. There's a lot of underpopulating here for example Partition of India belongs in the 1940s category, and Arab Revolt belongs in the 1920s category). Grutness... wha?   04:25, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Strong oppose per WP:SMALLCAT and WP:DEMOLISH. Islam has been one of the world's major religions since well before the earliest category in this series, and there should be little difficulty populating with current content. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 10:41, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to century categories. These categories are not empty, and it seems reasonable to group people and events by century. Dimadick (talk) 15:06, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That is a good point, meanwhile some articles have been added and they should be merged to the parent categories, e.g. to Category:1890s in religion and Category:19th-century Islam. But the mosques decade subcategories should be excluded from the merge so it is probably best to do this merge manually. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete those that are just place holders for "mosques completed in ..." or for which only a few of articles are available. Given the breadth of "Islam", there may be more later and then they can be recreated but not useful now. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:37, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Question. How would anyone benefit from ripping out these parts of the category tree? How does it help readers or editors?
 * Intermediate category layers like this are a helpful part of the category tree which allow multiple navigational paths in the category tree. Ripping them out makes the category tree harder to navigate.  So what's the claimed benefit to offset this damage? --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 19:35, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * With the alternative to merge, as proposed by Dimadick, nothing will be ripped out. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 'Marcocapelle, Dimadick's proposal still involves ripping out lots of decade categories.
 * What's the claimed benefit to offset this damage? How does it help readers or editors to remove this layer of navigation? -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 06:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * After the merge, you can go straight from Faraizi movement to the 4 other articles in Category:19th century in Islam. And when you are also interested in mosques you can still dive into the 19th-century mosques subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:49, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, I will try asking for a third time: what is the claimed benefit of removing these categories? -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 02:12, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have already answered the question above. In summary, more efficient navigation by skipping a category layer that is (nearly) empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:54, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No, @Marcocapelle, it does not do that.
 * All you achieve by removing these categories is to remove a navigational path. None of the paths which remain becomes any shorter.
 * So there is no gain in navigational efficiency, just a reduction in navigational pathways. - Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 00:40, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * there is definitely a gain in navigational path. Suppose someone is at Faraizi movement and you want to find articles about Islam in the same period.
 * The current path is Faraizi movement -> Category:1810s in Islam -> Category:19th-century Islam -> Timeline of 19th-century Muslim history.
 * After the merge the path will become Faraizi movement -> Category:19th-century Islam -> Timeline of 19th-century Muslim history.
 * In the current situation an inexperienced user may even quickly give up after not finding any other article in Category:1810s in Islam which is a situation that will not happen after the merge.
 * The path becomes even longer in the current situation when they also want to read the articles in the 1880s and 1890s subcats, but after the merge the path to the 1880s and 1890s articles will stay short:
 * The current path is Faraizi movement -> Category:1810s in Islam -> Category:19th-century Islam -> Category:1880s in Islam -> Ahmadiyya.
 * After the merge the path will become Faraizi movement -> Category:19th-century Islam -> Ahmadiyya.
 * On the other hand, when someone is at a mosque and is interested in mosques built in the same period, nothing will change (i.e. nothing will become worse) after the merge.
 * For example Dzhumaya Mosque -> Category:Mosques completed in 1364 -> Category:Mosques completed in the 1370s -> Category:Mosques completed in 1370 -> Chaqchan Mosque (which is quite a long way for that matter).
 * To conclude, of course there is reduction, there is no disagreement on that, but the effect of reduction is efficiency (as it always is). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, that's a misrepresentation, because you omit lateral navigation between the decade categories. There is no need to step back to the century category when you can go directly from one decade to another.
 * One of the examples you cite is: Faraizi movement -> Category:1810s in Islam -> Category:19th-century Islam -> Category:1880s in Islam -> Ahmadiyya.
 * But the actual path is one step shorter: Faraizi movement -> Category:1810s in Islam -> Category:19th-century Islam -> Category:1880s in Islam -> Ahmadiyya.
 * This is the issue that you consistently miss about chronology categories now that we have the 2-row version of Navseasoncats (i.e. Navseasoncats with decades below year and Navseasoncats with centuries below decade): that each category links directly to up to 21 other chronology categories. You describe the category tree as if the only navigation possible was from between a parent category and its subcat ... but I and several other editors have done masses of work over the last few years to ensure that this is no longer that case.  So the "efficiency" gain which you claim is a thing of the past.
 * You do have a point about the distance to the by-century timeline articles, e.g. Timeline of 19th-century Muslim history. So I have resolved that by linking to the appropriate article in that series from every Islam chronology category. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:15, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * you should have another look at Category:1810s in Islam because in the current setup it is not possible to go directly from Category:1810s in Islam to Category:1880s in Islam. Second, solving an issue for just Timeline of 19th-century Muslim history does not shorten the navigation path to the other articles that are currently Category:19th-century Islam. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:11, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
