Category:Ottoman historians

 * 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 all. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ottoman historians to Category:Historians from the Ottoman Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:15th-century historians of the Ottoman Empire to Category:15th-century historians from the Ottoman Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:16th-century historians of the Ottoman Empire to Category:16th-century historians from the Ottoman Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:17th-century historians of the Ottoman Empire to Category:17th-century historians from the Ottoman Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:18th-century historians of the Ottoman Empire to Category:18th-century historians from the Ottoman Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:19th-century historians of the Ottoman Empire to Category:19th-century historians from the Ottoman Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:Archaeologists of the Ottoman Empire to Category:Archaeologists from the Ottoman Empire
 * Nominator's rationale: rename to avoid the misunderstanding that these might be historians of the Ottoman dynasty which is not the case (for the top category) and to avoid the misunderstanding that the subject of these historians might be the Ottoman Empire which is not the case either (for all these categories).

 * What established naming convention are you citing? If Category:Ottoman historians is the one, then I don't think a category you created a few days ago which itself seems out of place, works here (seeing as how its parent is Category:Writers of the Ottoman Empire). Gonnym (talk) 15:30, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Category:19th-century historians by nationality and the like all just use the adjective, except for Georgia and the Holy Roman Empire‎. Rathfelder (talk) 22:31, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * See also Oculi's comment further down (favouring "from"). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:43, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That refers to the Russian Empire where the adjective is ambiguous. Rathfelder (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose - but it should be 'from the Ottoman Empire' per many precedents for several occupations. Oculi (talk) 00:02, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 'rename instead to Category:19th-century historians from the Ottoman Empire etc.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:19, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Category:Archaeologists of the Ottoman Empire to Category:Ottoman archaeologists – C2C: To match Category:Archaeologists by nationality and make it clear this is their nationality, not their field of operations. Rathfelder (talk) 12:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the cfd quoted below removed all uses of 'Ottoman' (is it a nationality?) in favour of 'of the Ottoman Empire' (or 'from' in a few cases). Oculi (talk) 00:10, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Ottoman" has a very specific meaning, and does not easily or always mean residents/subjects of the Ottoman Empire. Much better would be Category:Archaeologists from the Ottoman Empire. This whole tree needs some work.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:19, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Category:Ottoman historians to Category:Historians of the Ottoman Empire – C2C. Rathfelder (talk) 22:30, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose, this one should be "from" because "of" may imply the Ottoman Empire is the subject of these historians rather than their citizenship. Marcocapelle (talk) 00:28, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Its not obvious how to distinguish these, but perhaps it would be better to leave it as Category:Ottoman historians? Rathfelder (talk) 12:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That is also a possibility. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:19, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Withdraw this. Rathfelder (talk) 12:55, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It is better to change it to Category:Historians from the Ottoman Empire (cf Category:Historians from the Russian Empire). Oculi (talk) 13:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose The proposed form would make it seem this is what they studied. Much better to use Historians from the Ottoman Empire.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:19, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Support all these. Rathfelder (talk) 20:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * pinging other contributors to speedy discussions. Rathfelder reacted quicker than I could ping them. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:02, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support -- Ottoman refers to the dynasty not and is not a nationality. There is no satisfactory demonym, so that this rename is necessary.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:36, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Category:Comic strips by genre

 * 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. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:46, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting comic strips by genre
 * Nominator's rationale: This is unnecessary as it contains just small subcategories that just duplicate those for Category:Comics by genre.. All comic strips are comics and can be covered in Category:Comics by genre. The only thing unique to comic strips is Category:Gag-a-day comics which can be retained, everything should be deleted and upmerged (ex. Category:Adult comic strips to Category:Adult comics, Category:Detective comic strips to Category:Detective comics, etc.). The only other exception is the Category:Political comic strips which I proposed for renaming, as Category:Political comics doesn't exist yet (so it contains both comics and comic strips). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:25, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I think comic strips should be kept separate from comic books. Comic strips are short, appear in newspapers, tend to be focused on humour, have a longer history.  Comics books by contrast have longer stories that can be complete within one issue, have credited writers/plotters/scripters, pencillers, inkers, colorists, an extensive fandom with wikis, are sold separately.  The two media are distinct. Dongord (talk) 12:10, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Dongord Note the proposal does not suggest deleting neither the article about comic strips, nor its main category. I am just proposing that we don't need to have separate 'by genre' categories for regular comics and comic strips. A detective comic strip can be in category for comic strips, and detective comics. As their contents show, people often confuse comics with comic strips, and so comics are often improperly categorized as comic strips. See also discussion below. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Comic books are large and long often in colour, and sold through comic book stores. Comic strips are short, often in black and white, and usually found inside other publications.Dongord (talk) 09:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose for now, this is a container category which means there is no point in deletion if not the subcategories are dissolved too. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * mass deletion to get make more busy the superior categories, loosing connection with Commons and other wiki? For me completely absurd. Anyway... P.S. now Category:People from Fiumicino has 4 element. Still delete? MrKeefeJohn (talk) 19:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * With very few exceptions, the above categories do not exist on Commons either. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:30, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I wrote "Commons and other wiki", not only Commons, and I meant "other wikies". Anyway "few" is not a parameter, but an opinion ;-). For example how many interwiki should be? Who decides it? For example Category:People from Giaveno has 3 elements and it,fr and Commons. Better to classificate togheter in Category:People_from_the_Province_of_Turin with other 64 elements? Quote at 100% ? Which is the real motivation to delete these categories? Are they really unuseful or dangerous for wiki or they just don't "fit" current rules? MrKeefeJohn (talk) 12:31, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Category:People from Carignano now has got 5 element. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 19:47, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, I will remove these two. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Being from a province is not the same as being from a small town and such a mass merge will create more problems in the future than it solves, there has already been several that actually do not fit the small category criteria but have been lumped in here.Abcmaxx (talk) 09:57, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Which problems would it cause? Which categories do not fit here? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:02, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I read again Overcategorization and already from the title is clear, I mean no potential for growth. Among the categories proposed for the deletetion, there are some of them about cities with a big potential for growth. For example Category:People from Acquapendente‎ has 3 elements while it:Categoria:Nati_ad_Acquapendente has 12 elements. The same for Category:People from Cannobio has 3 elements it:Categoria:Nati a Cannobio, and so on.
 * I'm adding only articles about people born in the place the category is about it.
 * Category:People from Ala, Trentino now has got 4 elements
 * Category:People from Canicattì now has got 4 elements
 * Category:People from Deruta now has got 4 elements
 * Category:People from Castel Gandolfo now has got 5 elements
 * Category:People from Cairo Montenotte now has got 5 elements
 * Category:People from Pitigliano now has got 7 elements
 * Category:People from Schio now has got 40 (forty!!!!) elements. After this one I stop my search and, to be honest, I have some big doubts about the opening of this mass request of categories's deletion... Could you,, please explain me better? I can not understand . MrKeefeJohn (talk) 16:54, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The request is not about deleting, it is about merging, that is a big difference. As long as there little content at town level, the biographies can still be found at province level, so no information gets lost. If more content appears, categories can always be reestablished. I will remove the above categories that you indicated from the nomination. With respect to Category:People from Schio I am confused, it does not make much sense that this category was so severely underpopulated. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I should add that we do not categorize people by place of birth alone. Per WP:COPPLACE: the place of birth, although it may be significant from the perspective of local studies, is rarely defining from the perspective of an individual. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:56, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Classical music instruments to Category:Orchestral instruments
 * Nominator's rationale: I don't understand why this and Category:Orchestral instruments both exist since they will largely be the same. Since other specific categories cover other facets of Western classical music, such as Category:Baroque instruments, this category serves little purpose. Why? I Ask (talk) 08:02, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
