Category:People of Portuguese India

 * 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 to Category:People from Portuguese India. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 19:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People of Portuguese India to Category:People from Portuguese India
 * Nominator's rationale: same thing, both created by Johnpacklambert. ('From' has been preferred to 'of' in such categories by former country.) Oculi (talk) 22:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge clearly overlapping. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:15, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge "from" implies they were expatriates rather than residents. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:08, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No, we have many "from" categories implying residents, e.g. Category:People from Georgia (country). Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra) 2019-present

 * 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 to Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra). Without an established category tree for General Council (Andorra) members by term, this is the only plausible outcome. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 19:54, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra) 2019-present to Category:Members of the 8th General Council (Andorra)
 * Nominator's rationale: There are already many categories titled like this for meetings of a national legislature, like Category:Members of the 1st Congress of Deputies (Spain) or Category:Members of the 2nd Dáil (Ireland). There is an associated page 8th General Council. In addition, this category title is now obsolete, as there was an election in April 2023 and a new legislature sits in the present. Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge to Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra), it is not a good idea to categorize politicians by consecutive terms, as that may lead to a lot of category assignments. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: delete/merge per WP:SMALLCAT (1-2 articles). Note that more work will still need to be done to this tree after this proposal. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge/delete per nom, but leave the last one (1809) to a next nomination. Let's treat the whole of the 19th century consistently, if reasonably possible. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge/Delete Normally I qualify these if the categories grow in size, but I just don't see that. (Open to including or punting on the 1809 subcat.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT (1-3 articles). Not enough content per century at this stage. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Support the first one per nom. For the 1st millennium CE, better expand the nomination to the 10th century (or else leave the 1st millennium alone in its entirety) because a half-diffused millennium category is rather confusing. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support All Per nom. The 1st millenium can have diffused subcategories where there are enough contents to justify them. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:26, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Category:Fictional geologists
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed mw-archivedtalk" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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: Move and Delete. All targets in categories discussed moved to either Category:Fictional scientists in films and/or Category: Fictional scientists in television and admin requests sent to close the now empty cats SanAnMan (talk) 14:13, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional geologists to Category:Fictional scientists in films and Category: Fictional scientists in television
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge targets into either Category: Fictional scientists in films or Category: Fictional scientists in television per WP:SMALLCAT. All geologists are scientists, and there is no need for such a narrow categorization when a much fuller and broader cat already exists. In fact Randy Marsh (South Park) is already listed in both cats. SanAnMan (talk) 14:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge One article and one redirect. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 16:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 *  Dual Triple merge, also to Category:Fictional earth scientists. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:38, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle just to be clear, are you suggesting that all the entries under Category:Fictional earth scientists be merged into either Category:Fictional scientists in films or Category:Fictional scientists in television as appropriate? Because I'd agree with that since all the sub-cats in Fictional earth scientists as well as that cat itself are also guilty of WP:SMALLCAT. - SanAnMan (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Randy Marsh is already in the earth scientists category as well. I'd definitely upmerge all of the subcategories of Category:Fictional earth scientists, at minimum, as Mei (Overwatch) and Nami (One Piece) are collectively the only non-redirects in two of the others; not sure about Category:Fictional paleontologists which contains 4 articles for characters from 3 different works. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 01:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * So it is to merging to {Category:Fictional scientists in films OR Category: Fictional scientists in television} AND Category:Fictional earth scientists. I'd be happy to see a next nomination for Category:Fictional earth scientists. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Recap So, just to summarize what we have so far, the current proposal is: Move all targets in the various sub-cats of Category:Fictional earth scientists to either Category:Fictional scientists in films or Category: Fictional scientists in television as appropriate, and then Delete Category:Fictional earth scientists and all of its sub-cats including Category:Fictional cartographers, Category:Fictional geologists, Category:Fictional meteorologists, and Category:Fictional paleontologists. It would need to be a move/delete rather than a standard merge as some targets would need to go into the "films" cat while others into the "television" cat. Am I on the same wavelength as the rest of you? - SanAnMan (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It is a bit confusing to start a discussion about categories that have not been nominated yet. Anyway, what would be the rationale for Category:Fictional earth scientists? Not WP:SMALLCAT, I guess. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Support most per nom, but I'd rather leave 2000s floods in Oceania and 2000s floods in Brazil alone, in order to treat them the same as the rest of 21st century. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:42, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge & revert. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:19, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Cancelled boxing matches to Category:Boxing matches and Category:Cancelled sports events
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, not enough other cancelled boxing matches, so makes sense to upmerge. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 12:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose Per WP:SMALLCAT: unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme, see . Also Per WP:SMALLCAT: a category which does have realistic potential for growth... may be kept even if only a small number of its articles actually exist at the present time. There is a potential for growth plus overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Teterev53 (talk) 14:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Small categories are accepted in subcategorization scheme when it aids reader navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:27, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No such words in WP:SMALLCAT. Teterev53 (talk) 00:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you propose to upmerge (two items now) also? Teterev53 (talk) 00:28, 1 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Not every sport is included in Category:Cancelled sports events, so don't need boxing cat. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * As of now, each sport is included in . Teterev53 (talk) 00:21, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is not part of a large subcategorization scheme, in fact a whole lot of micro-categories have been created. WP:SMALLCAT still applies and the creation of these micro-categories should be reverted. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There are 19 subcategories as of now. How much subcategories needed for confirmation of large scheme status? Teterev53 (talk) 19:08, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is not about the number of subcategories but about the size of them. If many subcategories are small then the tree is not large. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What size is needed for large scheme? Where I can read about it? The subcategories consist of big number of pages: 154 (association football), 107 (athletics), 25 (baseball), 38 (basketball) 35 (cricket), 68 (cycling), 17 (field hockey), 48 (figure skating), 41 (ice hockey), 94 (motorsport) etc. So, more than 700+ pages included in the subcats. Is it a large scheme or not? How much articles needed for large scheme? Teterev53 (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is not a large scheme because only a limited of sports subcategories have a vast amount of articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:09, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Since this discussion started, has created  and, both SMALLCAT violations. Which is the only reason that their above statement As of now, each sport is included in is true.

 * No violation of WP:SMALLCAT here, read the quotes above about potential for growth and large scheme. Teterev53 (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Do you propose to change WP:SMALLCAT and remove the words unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme? Teterev53 (talk) 00:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Creating sibling categories without consensus during an open CFD discussion is not an "accepted sub-categorization scheme". - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Revert additional categorical mess created by Teterev53. He has created categories for chess, equestrian and judo. ALL WITH ONE ARTICLE. Delete the new categories he has created in this tree. I have nominated them for merging back. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per Aidan721. There is no 'large overall accepted' scheme. Oculi (talk) 22:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Revert The other categories created during this nomination per Aidan above. Maybe they were sincerely created, maybe WP:POINTY, but the appropriate course was to wait for a consensus to be reached here. (Note that this is a 2nd iVote, specific to the recent changes.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in France

 * Nominator's rationale: To avoid ambiguity in the name of the country. Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:54, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep per Category:Mandatory Palestine people, Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates. Or upmerge small ones to parents per WP:SMALLCAT; 2 are singletons and the largest has 7. There is no decrease in ambiguity: 'from' is a very vague term. Oculi (talk) 14:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge all except France and UK per above discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:44, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment & Query I'm fine with the merge ALT. But why "definitely do not rename"? The current name, beginning with the word "mandatory", looks like it was the forcible expulsion of Palestinians. Putting it as the third word in upper case, makes it less likely that this error would occur. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Start with Category:Mandatory Palestine people then. Category names are top-down: naming twigs at lower levels out-of-sync with upper levels is contrary to WP:C2C. Oculi (talk) 10:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Per Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_17, where both participants noted that Virtual Studio was a later name of Loriciel.

 * Merge - Since Virtual Studio is basically Loriciels (see this source: https://archive.org/details/games-world-03/page/n9/mode/1up), i don't have any issues with the category merging with the Loriciel category. Roberth Martinez (talk) 21:22, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Assassinated anarchists. (@) (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  15:33, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting murdered anarchists
 * Nominator's rationale: Overcategorized intersection by identity trait—This is not a "combination that is recognized as a distinct/unique cultural topic in its own right", i.e., it would not be reasonable to create an article or list about this intersection. It also leads to classification of murder where it might be unclear or ambiguous, and implies a connection between the two attributes where there isn't always one. czar  04:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose, this ought to be part of Category:Murdered political activists which is a far from trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Assassinated anarchists as a subcategory of Category:Assassinated people, as ideology is defining for targets of politically motivated crimes. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 10:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That is a good option too. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No, it is a much better option, to be exact. Assassination is what matters here, not just a random murder. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:48, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree that assassination is politically relevant (and thus relevant to anarchist biographies), but I expect most of these belong in fact to Category:Executed anarchists, which already exists. If the category is renamed to Assassinated, someone will need to go through and double-check which bio goes where. I'm happy to do that if the category is renamed, if someone pings me about it. -- asilvering (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
