Category:Unofficial leaders

 * 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: Procedural close. Nominated for speedy renaming by author per WP:C2E. (non-admin closure) ―  Tartan357  Talk 22:39, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting unofficial leaders
 * Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia is not for WP:RIGHTINGGREATWRONGS. It is not our job to determine who the rightful leaders of nations are. Both leaders in this category so far currently wield very real political power. ― Tartan357  Talk 21:50, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose: This is for unofficial, not unrightful. This could include leaders who have not been 'officially' given the title, but still lead. The current leaders in the category might have to be removed, though. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  &#124; 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂 (please use&#32; on reply) 22:00, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , unofficial according to whom? I fail to see how we could ever pin that down, and your inclusion of the current Prime Minister of Samoa and President of Belarus (those people seem pretty "official" to me) doesn't exactly inspire confidence that this category can be adequately defined. If they don't belong, who does? Who gets to decide this? ― Tartan357  Talk 22:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Unofficial meaning not given the title by through the normal political process. Also, I added the people to the category per a the request on WP:AFCRC, which I agree was in error (i.e. those people should probably be removed from the category). &#8213; Qwerfjkl  &#124; 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂 (please use&#32; on reply) 22:08, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , and who gets to determine what the "normal political process" is? This seems like an obvious WP:POVCAT. The people included will always be "official" according to someone. As for the two people included so far, being "unofficial" is far from a defining characteristic in reliable sources, so WP:CATDEF is not met. I fail to see how that will be any different for anyone else. ― Tartan357  Talk 22:11, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support after considering Tartan357's points. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  &#124; 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂 (please use&#32; on reply) 22:16, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Perhaps Category:Disputed leaders could be created instead? &#8213; Qwerfjkl  &#124; 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂 (please use&#32; on reply) 22:21, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , that seems fine to me, and would probably satisfy your WP:AFCRC request. I'd suggest renaming this category instead of deleting it and creating a new one, since they'd be serving the same purpose. ― Tartan357  Talk 22:23, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Should I request this under WP:C2E? &#8213; Qwerfjkl  &#124; 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂 (please use&#32; on reply) 22:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , yes, I think that would be helpful. ― Tartan357  Talk 22:32, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

1863 establishments in Nebraska

 * 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. I see no reason not to also rename the parent Category:1863 in Nebraska to Category:1863 in Nebraska Territory under WP:G6. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Rename Category:1863 establishments in Nebraska to Category:1863 establishments in Nebraska Territory
 * Nominator's rationale Nebraska did not become a state until 1867. It was a territory at this time.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes but do not create a separate tree for it as a territory. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:06, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose Like Peterkingiron I don't want to create a separate tree for it as a territory. --Just N. (talk) 16:51, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood. There are two different things. User:Peterkingiron agrees with the renaming but would not agree with creating a separate parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:57, 5 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * y'all got some objection in principle to Category:1860s in Nebraska Territory and its subcats? (I do wish people would look around the existing categories before opining.) – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Category:LGGS objects

 * 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: WP:SOFTDELETE for now. I can't even find an explanation of Local Group Galaxy Survey in Wikipedia; LGGS redirects to a school. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:10, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting lggs objects
 * Nominator's rationale: Small category with no realistic chance of ever having more than a handful of members. Very few astronomical objects from this catalogue will be notable since they are extremely faint and in external galaxies. Lithopsian (talk) 19:16, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The telescopes of astronomers are getting better all the time. Just a question of time IMHO. Unnecessary to delete, such an untapped potential. --Just N. (talk) 16:56, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If after say 10 years we do have more than a handful of articles it is very easy to recreate the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:01, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Category:19th-century Iranian people

 * 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: do not rename. I will create a redirect on the proposed target category. It looks like there may be possible to reach a consensus to use "Iranian" rather than "Persian" for other pre-1925 categories. Not referred to in this discussion but also relevant is this 2018 discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:36, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:19th-century Iranian people to Category:19th-century Persian people
 * Nominator's rationale: Before 1925 the country seems to have been more generally known as Persia. The subcategories, going back many centuries, are sometimes called Persian and sometimes Iranian, without any obvious reason for the difference.  Can we agree on some sort of uniformity? Rathfelder (talk) 18:55, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge or Reverse Merge No opinion on which name to use but this appears to be the same thing. Leave a redirect either way. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:27, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose as ambiguous. Persian people are (also) a specific ethnicity in Iran. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Persians are the dominant majority in Iran. Before the 20th century there doesnt appear to be any distinction in usage.  So Category:Iranian people by century and occupation has both Persian and Iranian subcategories.  There doesnt appear to be intended to be a distinction. Category:Kurdish people, for example, do not feature in any of the Iranian historical categories.Rathfelder (talk) 08:29, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that a deliberate distinction was probably not intended. Articles about Persian, Azerbaijani and Kurdish people in Iran may well occur in all these Iranian and Persian categories. When all of this is to become more consistent, Iranian is preferable over Persian, unless we say "of the Persian Empire". But the latter is largely deprecated in en.wp and replaced by Safavid Iran etc. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:56, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm quite happy to switch all the Persian categories to Iranian if that makes more sense. I dont like different names for the same thing. Safavid Iran covered a much bigger territory, so it would be better as a parent for Iranian categories.  Rathfelder (talk) 14:58, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm sort of fascinated of being witness of skirmishes between all those dedicated world historians among us. ;-) Sorry, but I never took interest in Iran except for past Pahlevi war times. --Just N. (talk) 17:06, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose We're in 2021, not pre-1925, times are different. 'Iranian' (which is the more correct variant) is commonly used in scholarship to refer to pre-1925 Iran and its people. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I claim no expertise here at all, but it's apparent from looking at the articles that these are not intended to be different. Rathfelder (talk) 21:26, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:10, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:21st century in Suva to Category:History of Suva
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, not enough history in Suva articles for a split by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:20, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 'Merge per nom and Smallcat! --Just N. (talk) 17:09, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:49, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting television series with screenplays selected in the black list
 * Nominator's rationale: Not WP:DEFINING - not even mentioned in either daughter article. Le Deluge (talk) 15:37, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete This list might be defining to the original scripts but the Wikipedia articles are more focused on the actual show, with a little background on the writing process. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:29, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I see Black List as defining. And haven't we had the same proposal before? It's just same days /weeks ago. How is that possible? --Just N. (talk) 17:14, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The other discussion is about films. See May 23. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:36, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:09, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting presidents of iqra rozatul atfal trust
 * Nominator's rationale: No article for the Trust, no indication of notability. Le Deluge (talk) 14:56, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete for Now Listed in all the infoboxes but not treated as defining in the articles which mention it in passing. The articles could all use some editor attention so I don't rule reconsidering later if/when a main article is created. - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:57, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete for Now per RevelationDirect. --Just N. (talk) 17:17, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:08, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose clarifying types
 * Nominator's rationale: Recreated old Cfd and started a discussing in the talk page. But supposedly nobody monitors category talk pages so here we are; Many kinds and synonyms of types, what about form? systems? kinds? Not asking for re-deletion just a category explanation. Dpleibovitz (talk) 14:53, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:G4. Note that it is a subcategory of Category:Ontology only, a nice illustration that it does not have coherent content. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:26, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per WP:G4, WP:SHAREDNAME, and lack of of any common thread that could aid navigation. See original discussion at Categories for discussion/Log/2009 July 21. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:33, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:49, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting ancient roman plebeians
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING, all non-patricians were plebeians. If complete, this category would have to be colossal. Avilich (talk) 12:09, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Support It's not practical to categorize people by not being nobility.★Trekker (talk) 10:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose'. I'd guess that very few Ancient Roman plebeians would ever get an own article. For sure to know /navigate those few is quite interesting! --Just N. (talk) 17:24, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * there are probably many more articles on plebeians than patricians. The aristocracy was made up of both patricians and plebeians. Avilich (talk) 22:21, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom's later explanation. The difference between patricians and plebeians faded away in the course of time. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:11, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: procedural close, the nomination has been moved to WP:CFDS (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:23, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ambassadors of Estonia to the Romania to Category:Ambassadors of Estonia to Romania
 * Nominator's rationale: Grammar. Super   Ψ   Dro  08:25, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy rename. I created the category and it was an obvious mistake. Uncontroversial renaming. ExRat (talk) 08:30, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Category:B. R. Ambedkar

 * 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 but purge of contents where the category is not WP:DEFINING.– Fayenatic  L ondon 11:56, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose containerizing b. r. ambedkar
 * Nominator's rationale: containerize, the articles in the category are on the one hand a violation of WP:SHAREDNAME and on the other hand a violation of WP:NONDEF. An example of the latter is Finance Commission. The category should not be deleted because a number of subcategories are defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:38, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Containerize per nom and WP:SHAREDNAME. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:35, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Containerize per nom and WP:SHAREDNAME. --Just N. (talk) 17:28, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment/question on containerization., , : Aren't there some articles that belong in the category? Such as Ambedkar cartoon, Bhimayana (these two perhaps belong in though), Poona Pact, Mahad Satyagraha, and possibly Babasaheb? Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Reply Thank you for raising those examples. I just added those and several other articles to Category:Cultural depictions of B. R. Ambedkar or subcats, hopefully with the consensus of other editors (see my recent edit history before this time stamp). At this point, I'm comfortable with containerization. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:37, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think Poona Pact and Mahad Satyagraha would still be appropriately categorized in the nominated category. Am I wrong about this? Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:49, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, fair point. Let us just purge the other articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:47, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Scholars of Islam, or Islamic studies scholars

 * 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 per Option B. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:39, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * OPTION A
 * Propose renaming and reparenting Category:Islamic studies scholars by nationality to Category:Scholars of Islam by nationality
 * OPTION B
 * Propose splitting Category:American scholars of Islam to Category:American Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:British scholars of Islam to Category:British Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Canadian scholars of Islam to Category:Canadian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Dutch scholars of Islam to Category:Dutch Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Egyptian Muslim scholars of Islam to Category:Egyptian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:German scholars of Islam to Category:German Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Indian scholars of Islam to Category:Indian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Indonesian Muslim scholars of Islam to Category:Indonesian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Iranian scholars of Islam to Category:Iranian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Irish scholars of Islam to Category:Irish Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Pakistani scholars of Islam to Category:Pakistani Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Polish scholars of Islam to Category:Polish Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Swiss scholars of Islam to Category:Swiss Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Syrian Muslim scholars of Islam to Category:Syrian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Tunisian scholars of Islam to Category:Tunisian Islamic studies scholars
 * Propose splitting Category:Turkish scholars of Islam to Category:Turkish Islamic studies scholars
 * Nominator's rationale: the top category and its subcategories are out of sync. It should be either "scholars of Islam" or "Islamic studies scholars", but at least consistently applied. Note that it concerns more than just the name, because Islamic studies is a specific academic study, so it has a much narrower scope than "scholars of Islam". Option A is definitely the easier solution, while option B is more precise (but possibly more precise than needed). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:41, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment "Islamic studies scholars" is a bit tautologous. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 18:00, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Option B. And no, I see nothing 'tautologous'. Islamic studies ist simply the name of a branch of study. Just like cultural studies etc. --Just N. (talk) 15:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Split -- This category is covering two quite different things. The Irishman is a scholar of Islamic art and architecture.  Others are probably Christians looking in to Islam.  Conversely, others are Muslims studying their own theology.  Peterkingiron (talk) 20:06, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: As noted, "Islamic studies" is a particular academic field, which makes it a too narrow descriptor. "Scholar of Islam" is the more open and inclusive formulation. Dayirmiter (talk) 11:47, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:51, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * (As nominator) if it helps to reach consensus I am leaning towards option A now. But I am still fully ok with option B too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Muslims studying their own theology are Category:Muslim theologians. Rathfelder (talk) 18:59, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Technically they are, but that term is used very little in an Islamic context and only in modern times. In the past the term theologian was an exclusively Christian term. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Split per nom. But I confess to have some doubts: could Islamic studies scholars be just the Western Colleges name of nowadays and the other the older one from Arabic institutions of higher education? --Just N. (talk) 17:34, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that will be the consequence, at least for the largest amount. Scholars of Islam does not even require formal education. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:41, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Category:Sokol members

 * 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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:04, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Sokol members
 * Propose Deleting Category:Sokół members
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:TRIVIALCAT)
 * Sokol was founded in 1862 popular Czech gymnastics program, especially amongst youth, which later spread to Poland as "Sokół". For most people this was just an enjoyable physical activity and patriotic group but a few people like Alois Hudec and Miroslav Klinger became prominent gymnasts which is why they are already under Category:Olympic gymnasts of Czechoslovakia. Simple being in a membership organization is rarely defining though. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:49, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete, membership of an organization is hardly ever defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Category:Roman Catholic Freemasons

 * 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: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Roman Catholic Freemasons
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCEGRS)
 * While the Freemasons welcome Catholics to join, multiple Popes have repeatedly held that Freemasonry is incompatible with Catholicism and could lead to excommunication. I could certainly imagine this combination being defining but it's not in practice because the violation is so widespread and enforcement so lax. Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and President John Kufuor both seem to have been publicly Catholic and Freemasons with no repercussions. The only biographies I found that discussed the combination were two ordained priests (1 and 2) who both created controversy, but no sanction, for publicly supporting Freemasonry. Wikipedia has potentially thousands of biography articles with this technically forbidden but common combination and all the current articles are in separate categories for Catholics and Freemasons so no merges are needed. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:49, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
