 * Propose splitting Category:Assassinated Pakistani Islamic scholars to Category:Assassinated Pakistani people and Category:Islamic scholars

Category:People by ethnic or national descent

 * 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  17:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People by ethnic or national descent to Category:People by descent
 * Nominator's rationale: These are just two trees, one for categories like Category:Dutch people by ethnic or national origin, and the other for categories like Category:People of Dutch descent. Both are container categories, and their current names are not distinct enough. Perhaps it would be better to merge them? Yorkporter (talk) 20:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Support, they are both container categories by descent, each with a limited number of subcategories. We can keep continent subcategories like Category:African people by descent separate by means of an alternative sort key. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect  so as not to lose the many interwiki links. This duplication has come about by the renaming of categories that were "by ethnic or national origin" to "by descent" at Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 10, by consensus of the same two participants. Although there remains a layer with names like Category:Dutch people by ethnic or national origin, the contents of that one currently use "by descent", so merger is appropriate. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:17, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Fayenatic london I have just created the and adjusted the interwiki links accordingly. Therefore, the " Category:People by ethnic or national descent" now has no interwiki links and can be safely deleted. Yorkporter (talk) 18:59, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean by interwiki links, but I was referring to the "32 languages" links to other-language Wikipedias, which still appear at Category:People by ethnic or national descent with none at Category:People by nationality and descent. Interwiki links are stored at Wikidata, in this case at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6292367. "People by descent" is linked to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5876057. (I have not checked whether the pages linked in this way are correctly matched like-with-like; auto translation in Google Chrome is useful for such validation.) – Fayenatic  L ondon 19:11, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It should be a cache problem because I have already changed this... Yorkporter (talk) 19:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I beg your pardon – it seems fine now. I also confirm that the linked categories do indeed hold the corresponding sub-cats. Instead of redirecting, I now propose to merge the page history after completion, as you have created a new category page for Category:People by nationality and descent and the nominated page has history going back to 2006. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:16, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting arab people of greek descent
 * Propose deleting arab people of iranian descent
 * Propose deleting arab people of jewish descent
 * Propose deleting arab people of sindhi descent
 * Nominator's rationale: Yes, we categorize individuals according to their ethnicity and the ancestral origins of their heritage. However, we seldom delve into the intricacies that emerge when these two factors intersect, thus we do not categorize people based on the shared aspects of their ethnicity and ethnic descent. Yorkporter (talk) 19:20, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, the fact that they (or their parents) moved to the Middle East does not make them Arabs. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:58, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. All subcategories also still need to be nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Defunct private schools in the Northern Territory to Category:Defunct schools in Australia, Category:Private schools in the Northern Territory, and Category:Defunct private schools
 * Nominator's rationale: Full upmerge. The category contains just one redirect. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge. It is exactly an instance of "triple intersection" which WP:NARROWCAT talks about.  Delta  space 42 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Only merge to Category:Private schools in the Northern Territory, not to the other two targets because the redirect is already in Category:Defunct Uniting Church schools in Australia. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:10, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one category in here, which is unhelpful for navigation Mason (talk) 15:24, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. These categories are created based on a template that is looking for them. While the template can be modified to not look for them, that is just pointless work that will hinder any future category creation (as it won't be red linked anymore). Furthur more, these categories are all part of a huge tree and set of categories and removing links in this tree won't help no one. Also, the fact that there is only 1 sub-category at the moment, is not because of a lack of content that fits, but because of lack of editorial focus as television programs where obviously present in the 20th centuary in most if not all of the above countries. Gonnym (talk) 16:19, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * In response to the first part of your rationale: rather than modify Century nationality television series category to not look for this parent, it would rather be coded to use e.g. Category:Soviet television series by century if it exists, otherwise to use Category:Soviet television series. Actually, because the Soviet Union only existed within one century, all the Soviet TV topic categories should be restructured to go straight into the C20 hierarchy, without a Soviet C20 layer. But for all the other countries, the second part of your rationale stands. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:34, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:57, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. By the way, diffusing television series by century is odd anyway, considering that it is such a recent phenomenon. Historical value is, at best, to be found in decade categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. It will be another 76 years before any get a 3rd subcat. Templates should be servants, not masters. Perspicax (talk) 11:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: rename per precedent in this previous discussion. These are topic categories. The proposed names align with Category:Diasporas in the United States and Category:Diasporas by country of origin. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. I've also added Category:European-American society for speedy renaming to Category:European diaspora in the United States per this and previous Cfd. Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:42, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Support per precedent (should this even be discussed? I mean there were a lot of categories in the previous CfD)  Delta  space 42 (talk • contribs) 10:50, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 15:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support One time, I had to relocate several articles on Armenian-American people because they were misplaced in the as-yet-unnominated Category:Armenian American. –LaundryPizza03</b> ( d c̄ ) 06:26, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will add the Eastern European diasporas too, below. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:02, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, I would remove Category:Eastern Europeans in the United States from rename as there are several categories across many countries like this (for sub-regions of a continent that is) named as such and not as "Eastern European diaspora" (and so on). Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:51, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Though, if you think sub-regions should be named as such as well, it would be easier to speedy them. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:53, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have listed the other region categories further above in this nomination, so the proposal is internally consistent. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:55, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Very well; I'll do the same for other sub-regions. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:08, 28 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Rename all. Fooian Barian categories are ambiguous both because it can apply to either stuff from Foo in Bar or stuff from Bar in Foo, and because it is does not separate people categories and topic categories. Anyway adjectives are never good category names. The proposed renamings, as the precedent ones, solve both kinds of ambiguity. Place Clichy (talk) 05:52, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
