Category:Alderman of Belgium

 * 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)  Qwerfjkl  talk  10:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting alderman of belgium
 * Nominator's rationale: I can't find any evidence of this role existing, and there is no mention of "Alderman" in François Bellot, the one article in this category. This category has also been created by a sockpuppet. --Ferien (talk) 16:29, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment, in the article Municipalities of Belgium, "aldermen" is used as translation of "schepenen" in Dutch. The schepenen, together with the mayor, are the executive local government of a municipality. But it is not meaningful to vote for keeping the category if it is factually empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:20, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment -- We discourage articles on those who are merely local politicians. The one person categorised would belong in City councillors in Belgium, which seems to be what is meant here, but his notability is for having served at a higher level of politics.  Perhaps Rename, but I would not mind if it was deleted.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:09, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, "city councillor" is surely "gemeenteraadslid" in Dutch, that is something different. Perhaps the phenomenon of an executive local government of a municipality does not exist in English-speaking countries? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:04, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Where is the policy to discourage articles on those who are merely local politicians? You want to empty Category:Local politicians? Bigwig7 (talk) 18:17, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It may not a bad idea after all. The large amount of politicians are known as a national politician and the past position in local politics is merely trivial. How many politicians are in Wikipedia solely as a local politician? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:American lynching defenders to Category:American white supremacists
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OPINIONCAT. User:Namiba 13:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose. By no means did all white supremcists support lynching. And what is meant by the above "Per WP:Opinioncat" I have no idea what evidence or argument is being cited, nor did clicking on it help. deisenbe (talk) 13:17, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * See the text that starts with this on the page: "Avoid categorizing people by their personal opinions, even if a reliable source can be found for the opinions." 🌊 Pacific Depths talk 05:30, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Avoid categorizing people by their personal opinions, ...", says the guideline. That is pretty clear, isn't it? The fact that not all white supremacists support lynching is not relevant for the merge, there would only be an issue if not all lynching defenders would be white supremacists.  Delete Merge as a standard application of WP:OPINIONCAT, defending lynching is obviously an expression of opinion. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:28, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge Category should be deleted according to WP:OPINIONCAT. It's also not a defining characteristic in many pages' lead sections, and WP:NONDEF may apply. The parent category Category:American white supremacists seems to apply for most cases. 🌊 Pacific Depths talk 05:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge -- This is a particularly objectionable aspect of American segregationalism. The two articles that I sampled included a man who opposed an anti-Lynching Bill and a man who proposed to pardon those guilty of lynching.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:16, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
