Category:Equestrian at the Summer Olympics

 * 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. Oops, started at the wrong place in the category tree, plus additional issues (non-admin closure) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs)  15:06, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Equestrian at the Summer Olympics to Category:Equestrianism at the Summer Olympics
 * Nominator's rationale: [Adjective] at the Summer Olympics is just bad English. This (and the whole category tree) needs to be renamed, to something else. We could match the commons category (which is "Equestrian sports") or we could match the usage of the navbox and the first sentence of the main topic article (whose title I've recently changed to match with basic requirements of the English language, Equestrianism at the Summer Olympics). I propose the second, since that's shorter. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 22:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Agree up to a point, but the top category is Category:Equestrian sports, subcat Category:Equestrian sports competitions, so the rename needs to begin higher up the tree with Category:Equestrian at multi-sport events and should be Category:Equestrian sports at multi-sport events etc (which would be speedies). (Equestrianism seems to be wider than 'equestrian sports'.) Oculi (talk) 01:41, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support alt rename to Category:Equestrian sports at the Summer Olympics per Oculi. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose as we should get consensus to move the articles first (something which the OP doesn't have consensus to do, but has started unilaterally doing anyway). If the articles are moved, then and only then should the category be moved, as the category should match the agreed upon articles titles (and they haven't yet established a consensus for Equestrianism in article titles). CFD shouldn't be used as a de facto process to change article titles, and category titles should match article titles. There was a discussion started at WT:SPORTS about this, so wait until that gets some consensus before doing any more category or page moves. And if a category name change is needed, we should probably change all the categories in the hierarchy rather than just picking one to change and making it inconsistent. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support alternative rename to Category:Equestrian sports at the Summer Olympics; and rename all necessary sub-categories in the Category:Equestrian at multi-sport events tree similarly. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:12, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Empty yearly clean-up categories

 * 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 (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:01, 8 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting clean-up categories from 2001
 * Propose deleting clean-up categories from 2002
 * Propose deleting clean-up categories from 2003
 * Propose deleting clean-up categories from 2004
 * Propose deleting clean-up categories from 2005
 * Nominator's rationale: These are not project categories that by their nature may become empty on occasion as the term is defined by WP:CSD, so should not be retained despite being empty. A total of 8 different admins (Explicit, Fastily, RHaworth, Mojo Hand, Diannaa, Fram, VegaDark, Edgar181) have agreed with this claim and deleted these under C1 or G6, making it clear that the creator's unilateral addition of Empty category is against consensus. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:20, 31 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment You can include my name if you are going to talk about me, yes, I tagged these five pages as empty categories. Looking at just one page log, right here, you can see that some of these pages (except for 2005) have been repeatedly created and deleted, in fact, I've been both a page restorer and page deleter of these pages myself (I'm not sure why you didn't include me in your list of 8, now 9 admins). For maintenance categories that are periodically empty, rather than go through the cycle of creation and deletion, there have been times I put an empty cat tag on the page. I haven't done this very often as I usually tag empty categories (my CSD log is on the list of very long pages). I guess you could call that a "unilateral addition" but most editors who tag pages for all sorts of reasons are basing it on their own decision of what should be done, not a group consensus.
 * By the way, there are 64,762 transclusions of the empty cat tag and I imagine if you wanted to take the time to go through them, you would find other occasions where the use was questionable. In my years of work reviewing the daily Empty Category list, I've seen editors put the tag on a brand new, empty category to keep it from being deleted. Over the years, taking on the project of looking into use of the empty cat tag was something I have often thought about bringing to the Village Pump Proposals but there always seemed to be other work that needed to get done.
 * But back to this proposal, these categories are probably not necessary any more but I guess I saw them as more historical than utilitarian. We have one for every year of the project. But, go ahead, discuss, and of course, I'll accept the consensus of the CFD regulars. Liz Read! Talk! 22:45, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't include you because the point I was trying to make was that every single one of those admins disagrees with you about whether these should be retained as empty, and you obviously don't disagree with yourself. Nor would there be anything wrong with you unilaterally adding that template if it weren't for the fact that at least ten other people (those eight admins plus Emk9 and MrLinkinPark333 who added G6 tags) were known to disagree with you. There categories are only becoming non-empty in the first place because WantedCategories patrollers are being lazy and creating backdated monthly cleanup categories from these years rather than emptying the original backdated "Article with from  " category, meaning the argument for them being kept as empty makes little sense. And we don't generally keep categories for historical value. * Pppery * it has begun...  22:59, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: split (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Quantification (science) to Category:Quantification (science) and Category:Quantifier (logic)
 * Nominator's rationale: Quantification used to be the category for an eponymous page that covered mainly the meaning of the word in logic and semantics. The main article was (rightly) split in 2014 to differentiate between the scientific method (Quantification (science)) and the logical concept (Quantifier (logic)). However, the category became associated with the former page even though the vast majority of the entries it contains refer to quantification in logic or semantics. The only entries that should stay here are Quantification (science), Ethics of quantification, Sociology of quantification and Statactivism. Felix QW (talk) 10:25, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Merlin to Category:Works based on Merlin
 * Nominator's rationale: This category is malplaced, it should be a subcategory of Category:Works based on Arthurian legend and moved accordingly. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:02, 31 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Category:Works about Merlin may be better grammar. Regardless of the rename target, the category should be purged, many articles are not specifically about Merlin. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:29, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It's following the naming scheme of the entire "based on" category tree. Perhaps there might be some merit to renaming it but that's a different discussion altogether. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You are right, it is part of a tree under Category:Works based on literary characters, so it does not make sense to discuss an alternative rename target for the nominated category only. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

 * comment - These are two different categories that only superficially related. Nominator did not explain what the importance of the featured sounds page is to these categories either.  If the sound files are still needed, how can they be featured?
 * Keep  - category is well populated and the articles would benefit from audio.
 * Merge to  and  - I can’t find a video request category.  If there is one, the nominated category should be split. --awkwafaba (📥) 03:19, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There is a Category:Wikipedia requested videos. Some other notes: the bit about featured sounds is a literal quote from the category page, so it's up to the creator to explain the connection, not me. Also, most articles in Category:Symphony orchestra articles needing audio and or video‎ are also in Category:Articles needing audio and or video‎, which should be dealt with in the event of a merge. Finally, if kept, Category:Symphony orchestra articles needing audio and or video‎ should be renamed to Symphony orchestra articles needing audio or video per MOS:ANDOR, or failing that Category:Symphony orchestra articles needing audio and/or video to have proper grammar. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 21:28, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * you are the creator of this CfD, you are the one who proposed the two different categories together.

Additionally, has been moved, and no longer is directly in . --awkwafaba (📥) 15:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose merging this way, the targets contain talk pages while the nominated categories do not. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * at this point, i think things have changed enough I think merging is no longer prudent.


 * Comment, nominator's rationale for deletion of Category:Symphony orchestra articles needing audio and or video is clear: Featured sounds is marked as historical. It is not clear to me why User:Awkwafaba disagrees, they just come up with a counter proposal to keep Category:Symphony orchestra articles needing audio and or video without explaining why nominator's rationale is incorrect. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:53, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * as I mentioned above, it is not clear at all what Featured sounds has to do with these categories, and as you could see, the nominator has not explained their rationale. I would imagine that Featured sounds deals solely with audio, and not video, unlike the two nominated categories.  Also, if Featured sounds is defunct, does that mean the nominated categories no longer need audio and/or video?  And I do not understand why, in the absence of clear justification for deletion that counterproposals are not acceptable.  It doesn’t seem like anyone else has been swayed by the flimsy proposal.  --awkwafaba (📥) 14:51, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It is clearly written on the category page that this category is related to Featured sounds. This is a maintenance category and as the maintenance process related to the category is defunct, it seems obvious that the category should be deleted too. No? Marcocapelle (talk) 18:52, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you mean pages, and not page. I’m not sure why these categories keep getting confused.  Anyhow, it was totally super tough, but I removed the link to the defunct project.  Not sure why that wasn’t the first step before a CfD, but here we are.  Now why do you think these categories need removal, and not the other file request categories?  --awkwafaba (📥) 13:05, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I notice that the category creator is no longer active so there isn't any further clarification to be expected regarding the purpose of these categories in relationship with the defunct project. This does not lead somewhere. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the creator of the CfD would be more useful as to their own reasoning than the creator os the categories. But in any event, you were responding to my question on your opinion, not theirs. --awkwafaba (📥) 00:17, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
