Category:Etiology

or The category text says that the head article is Etiology (medicine), but that page was moved in 2017 to Cause (medicine), without discussion. As far as I can see from the interwikilinks, most other languages use some variant of "etiology", which is why I list that as the first choice ... but I'd be happy with either form. Just disambiguate it somehow. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Cause (medicine) to conform with the main article as it stands right now.  bibliomaniac  1  5  18:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming
 * Category:Etiology to Category:Etiology (medicine)
 * Category:Etiology to Category:Cause (medicine)
 * Nominator's rationale: to disambiguate from the broader concept of etiology, aka causality. This category is clearly for medical etiology, and its title should reflect that.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Rename to avoid ambiguity, preferably to Category:Cause (medicine) per WP:C2D. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In medical literature etiology is used more than cause. Rathfelder (talk) 21:46, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Then an RM regarding the article title may be appropriate. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:34, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Category:Cultural depictions of The Red Baron

 * 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. MER-C 18:08, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Cultural depictions of The Red Baron to Category:Cultural depictions of Manfred von Richthofen
 * Nominator's rationale: The parent category is and the main article is Manfred von Richthofen. I can understand the rationale for the current name as he usually is called "the Red Baron" in cultural depictions. (Also, "Manfred von Richthofen" can refer to other people.) I'm happy either way, I just want it to be discussed. Also, if the name is kept, do we need to capitalize "The"? Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)


 * If kept, decapitalize "The". Marcocapelle (talk) 12:05, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom To match the main article. Dimadick (talk) 19:21, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Category:People by city or town

 * 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. MER-C 18:08, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:People by city in Belgium to Category:People by city or town in Belgium Category:People by populated place in Belgium
 * Propose renaming Category:People by city in Israel to Category:People by city or town in Israel Category:People by populated place in Israel
 * Propose renaming Category:People by city in the Netherlands to Category:People by city or town in the Netherlands Category:People by populated place in the Netherlands


 * Nominator's rationale: This name change is needed to cover the contents of the category. Many other countries already follow this model. gidonb (talk) 01:26, 1 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment, the Dutch tree contains people by municipality. While in the Netherlands municipalities mostly coincide with cities, they are generally much bigger entities than towns. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:03, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Marcocapelle, at present, this is not necessarily by municipality. Check out for example the categories for Bergambacht and Den Ham. There are many of these! Maybe you referred to an ideal case or the fact that municipalities are included? Belgium has categories by municipality next to by city (or town)! gidonb (talk) 14:20, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Just with the letter A. The following are municipalities not named after a town or village: Aa en Hunze, Achtkarspelen, Albrandswaard, Alphen-Chaam, Altena, North Brabant and Ameland. The following are towns or villages not eponymous to a municipality, but they are eponymous to a former municipality: Abcoude, Akersloot, Amerongen, Andijk and Anna Paulowna. Then finally we also have three former municipalities which were not directly named after a town or village: Aalburg, Arcen en Velden and Avereest. So technically this tree should be called Category:People by municipality or former municipality in the Netherlands. Or otherwise it needs to have a major overhaul. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:13, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant. People by former municipality is nondefining. gidonb (talk) 04:57, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Rename all to the form Category:People by populated place in Belgium. This format was the result of a consensus perhaps a decade ago to avoid the need for noms (and arguments on scope) such as this.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:50, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:People by populated place in Foo per Peterkingiron. Grutness... wha?   04:25, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I have no problem with this solution, whatever covers it all. gidonb (talk) 04:57, 6 September 2020 (UTC) Adjusted the proposal accordingly. gidonb (talk) 16:20, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:People by populated place in Foo per Peterkingiron. That is sufficiently broad. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:21, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
