Category:People Born in Union City, New Jersey

 * 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.  ✗  plicit  12:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People Born in Union City, New Jersey to Category:People from Union City, New Jersey
 * Propose merging Category:People born in Saifai to Category:People from Saifai
 * Nominator's rationale: We categorize people in "people from FOO" categories, not "people born in FOO" categories. "People from" can encompass "people born in". Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:49, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Conditional support we do not categorize people by place of birth, but by where they are from. So we should only merge people who are clearly from the place in question. Not those who were born there but who moved elsewhere when very young.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:27, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I have seen many users state that they do categorize by place of birth, using the appropriate "People from FOO" category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I can well imagine that place of birth is not always relevant e.g. when you live in a small town but are born in a hospital in a nearby city. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:37, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very true. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I conceptually agree with JPL but in many cases reliable sources say a person is "from" somewhere and don't really elaborate on what that means so it may be hard to apply in practice. Support the proposal with that caveat. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:15, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. We don't use two separate categories. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:17, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete.  ✗  plicit  12:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting romanian professional boxers
 * Nominator's rationale: We categorize boxers on their nationality and gender, such as Category:Romanian male boxers and Category:Mexican women boxers. No other country has this sub-category of professional boxers. JTtheOG (talk) 00:33, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: soft delete/merge as nominated (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 19:25, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Political and economic think tanks based in Sindh
 * Propose Dual Upmerging Category:Political and economic think tanks based in Karachi to Category:Organisations based in Karachi and Category:Political and economic think tanks based in Pakistan
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:SMALLCAT and WP:OCLOCATION)
 * The only thing in the parent category is the subcategory and the only thing in the subcategory is the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs. There might be a bit of growth potential beyond the 1 article but there are only 19 articles total under Category:Think tanks based in Pakistan and no other countries have this city-level breakdown for think tanks. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:15, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Category:Niskanen Center

 * 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.  ✗  plicit  12:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Niskanen Center
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCASSOC)
 * The Niskanen Center is an American liberal think thank and this category contains every single biography article mentioned anywhere in the main article regardless of how they're associated. Jerry Taylor is definitely defined by being the group's president and Will Wilkinson might arguably be defined by being fired by them. The association with all the rest of the articles is so weak that none even mention this organization. The category contents are already listified in the sense that they are somewhere in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:15, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
