People from the Sasanian Empire by ethnicity

 * 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. Armenian people should be discussed at a higher level. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:27, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:People from the Sasanian Empire of Arab descent to Category:Arabs from the Sasanian Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:People from the Sasanian Empire of Armenian descent to Category:Armenian people from the Sasanian Empire
 * Propose renaming Category:People from the Sasanian Empire of Georgian descent to Category:Georgians from the Sasanian Empire
 * Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content of the categories: they are based on ethnicity, not on their ancestors' nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:30, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: ignoring for purposes of this comment the recent move of all three from "of" to "from", and whether "in" wouldn't be better in this case—why "Arabs" and "Georgians", but "Armenian people" instead of "Armenians"? Is "Armenians" considered derogatory, or is it just not used for categories on Wikipedia?  Unless there's an objection to using it, "Armenians" seems more succinct and logically consistent.  P Aculeius (talk) 12:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Honestly I do not have any preference for "Armenians" or "Armenian people". The only reason the nomination is like this is because the parent categories use "Armenian people". Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment -- I would prefer "in" and "Armenians", but do not oppose what is suggested. The people in question will probably mostly be natives in their ethnic homeland, so that a "descent" category (usually used in an expatriate context) is unsatisfactory.

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Uzbeks.  bibliomaniac  1  5  17:06, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ethnic Uzbek people to Category:Uzbeks
 * Nominator's rationale: rename and purge: keep the topic articles and the subcategories, but purge the biographies of ethnic Uzbek people from Uzbekistan. Uzbeks are the far majority in Uzbekistan, categorizing them by ethnicity large overlaps with nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:50, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  19:42, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Uzbeks is a redirect for Category:Uzbek people. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:28, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Correct. Once it becomes a topic category that is the appropriate name. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Support Zakaria ښه راغلاست (talk) 19:58, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is not as simple as it appears. The target is currently a redirect, but there is a native Uzbek minority in Afghanistan (not expatriates) and Uzbekistan (like most post-Soviet states) probably has a substantial Russian minority, descendants of those exiled under Stalin.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:17, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Uzbekistan consists of 85% Uzbeks, so the overlap between nationality and ethnicity in this country is enormous. For the Uzbek minority in Afghanistan we already have a subcategory and that should surely be kept. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Support The main article on the ethnicity is Uzbeks and Category:Uzbekistani people will be maintained for the nationality. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:26, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Category:2028 Summer Olympics sidebar templates

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:30, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:2028 Summer Olympics sidebar templates to Category:2028 Summer Olympics templates
 * Nominator's rationale: Category:2028 Summer Olympics sidebar templates is unique among subcategories of Category:Summer Olympics by year event sidebar templates in that it is missing the word "event" in its name. And we don't have a need for generic categories which aren't specific to event sidebars – 2028 category is the only "&lt;year&gt; Summer Olympics sidebar templates" category – see the automatically generated navbox which only links to 2028.


 * Currently, the category only has a single template. When we get closer to 2028, and more templates are created, then a better structured tree of categories will be created for 2028 Summer Olympics. —⁠andrybak (talk) 09:04, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Question -- Is this not grossly premature? Peterkingiron (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Peterkingiron, could you please clarify which way? Too early to delete the category or too early to create the category? —⁠andrybak (talk) 17:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. This was speedily moved from "Category:2028 Summer Olympics navigational boxes" but merger is better. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:02, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support or rename to Category:2028 Summer Olympics event sidebar templates. Category:2024 Summer Olympics event sidebar templates already has 8 members. Oculi (talk) 08:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I support a rename to Category:2028 Summer Olympics event sidebar templates as second choice. —⁠andrybak (talk) 09:13, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, no, renaming to an "event" category doesn't make sense, because there are no event sidebars yet, only the general Template:2028 Summer Olympics. —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:03, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
