Category:Anti-Muhajir violence

 * 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  22:15, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Anti-Muhajir violence to Category:Persecution of Muhajirs
 * Propose merging Category:Anti-Muhajir violence in Pakistan to Category:Persecution of Muhajirs
 * Nominator's rationale: Actually, there's nothing to merge since all articles in the smaller categories are already in Category:Persecution of Muhajirs. It's also important to note that the Muhajir are by definition in Pakistan so the phrase "Anti-Muhajir violence in Pakistan" is a pleonasm, much like "Anti-African-American violence in the United States" would be.

 * Merge all three, the target may be either Category:Anti-Muhajir violence or Category:Persecution of Muhajirs. As nom says, "in Pakistan" is redundant. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge all three to Category:Persecution of Muhajirs as closest to sibling Category:Persecution of Hazara people.
 * @William Allen Simpson, @Marcocapelle, what are the three categories? — Qwerfjkl  talk  16:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mistake. There are 3 categories above. I'd originally opined that all 3 should go to Category:Persecution of Muhajir people to match parent Category:Muhajir people and sibling Category:Persecution of Hazara people. Unfortunately, Category:Persecution of Muhajirs was not tagged, so that was not an option. All of the content has been re-categorized, so just delete both, and I'll try for the rename later.

 * 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  17:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting sportspeople of oceanian descent
 * Propose deleting sportspeople by oceanian country of descent
 * Propose deleting sportspeople of polynesian descent
 * Propose deleting american sportspeople of polynesian descent
 * Propose deleting australian sportspeople of polynesian descent
 * Propose deleting new zealand sportspeople of polynesian descent
 * Nominator's rationale: recent proliferation of tiny categories with unusual and irrelevant hierarchical organization. Category naming does not provide for by region encapsulating by country.


 * Summary: There's no rhyme nor reason for this convoluted tree, entangled with others, very few articles. Continuing removals after categories were emptied by previous discussions.


 * Followup to:

 * Delete, trivial intersection between descent and occupation. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:25, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Oceanian categories as an unnecessary continental category, BUT Keep Polynesian, at least until the contents are fully dispersed to appropriate national categories. In other words #empty manually.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 19:32, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. --Spekkios (talk) 09:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Polynesian categories per WP:OCEGRS. Polynesian diasporic involvement in global sports is a well-defined topic which can easily support a full-length article. See this from New Zealand, this from The Smithsonian, and this from Sports History Weekly to list a few.--User:Namiba 16:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You really should read articles before hastily citing them. [B]ig problems loom over a system that treats these men as little more than trafficked commodities. White saviour plantation managers and Mormon elders nurtured future generations of football stars. Apparently, these authors view work in the cane fields to be nurturing, and hopefully will have an opportunity to personally experience it. Future generations became Hawaiʻian Americans. WP:COP-HERITAGE Great-grandchildren are never of "descent". We don't seem to have a Category:Sportspeople of Māori descent either, because they are already New Zealand citizens. It is sad that some Kiwis want to "other" the minority Māori, and note that they dominate football there ("now looks like high-edge blackbirding"). But there's no good reason to do that in our category structure. Note, this is not discussing deleting Category:Sportspeople of Samoan descent or Category:Sportspeople of Tongan descent.


 * Delete per the precedent of previous discussions. Regional/continental intersections at that level are a bad idea, and likely to be used only as a privacy for race. That is also true of the Polynesian descent categories. If someone is from Polynesia (e.g. Tokelau) and moved to Australia, they deserve a double inclusion in Tokelauan sportspeople and Australian sportspeople (or a sport-specific child category) and not a descent category. If they are not Tokelauan themselves but their ancestors are in a way that is defining for them according to reliable sources, a double inclusion in Australian sportspeople and Australian people of Tokelauan descent is sufficient to convey the notion.

 * Propose renaming Category:Sports competitions in Mahshahr to Category:Sports competitions in Khuzestan Province
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename to the province-level. Mahshahr is ambiguous so rename is required even if decided to keep at this level. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose containerizing songs about real people
 * Nominator's rationale: containerize, the articles directly in this category have nothing in common with each other of encyclopedic value. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:13, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment. I see Marcocapelle's point, but I'm not entirely convinced. In any case, we need to think more broadly of Category:Works based on real people and its subcategories versus Category:Biographical works and its subcategories. Pichpich (talk) 21:59, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ultimately they can perhaps all be containerized but that is currently difficult to foresee as it will surely require a lot of prep work first. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 12:19, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Support as long as Marcocapelle is willing to do the work. Honestly, we don't really need much discussion, just move them into appropriate subcategories.

 * 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  17:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Hotels in the Muskokas to Category:Buildings and structures in the District Municipality of Muskoka
 * Propose merging Category:Hotels in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo to Category:Hotels in Ontario
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCATs for just two or three hotels each on an overly granular geographic distinction. has subcategories for its two largest metropolitan cities (i.e. Toronto and Ottawa), but does not otherwise have a comprehensive scheme of subcategorizing all of its hotels by individual county or district -- and with Toronto and Ottawa already chunked out as it is, there are only 20 articles left in the parent category and thus subcatting them all down to the county or district level would not aid navigation. Note that the merge targets are slightly different: Muskoka only needs upmerging to the Muskoka buildings and structures category as its three articles are all already double-catted in  alongside this, while Waterloo only needs upmerging to the province-level category as its two entries are already in their appropriate "buildings and structures in city" parent and don't need the county-level category next to that. It simply does not aid navigation to obsessively subcategorize everything down to highly granularized categories of just two or three articles per county.

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting tsuburaya family
 * Nominator's rationale: Category for just five people on the basis of family genealogy. As always, the fact that four or five people with Wikipedia articles happen to be related to each other is not a legitimate or WP:DEFINING basis for a category in and of itself -- the grounds for a category like this would be that the people were regularly grouped together as a subject of collective coverage about the group as a group, not just that they happen to be ancestors or descendants of other people in the category.

 * Propose merging Category:Pali geography stubs to Category:Rajasthan geography stubs

 * Propose merging Category:Pirate Republics to Category:Pirate dens and locations
 * Nominator's rationale: Overlap/duplicate. DrKay (talk) 12:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete - the creator's stated definition, "states that were established by pirates", is much too broad for the narrow definition of republic. It seems to me that the Republic of Salé is the only article added which was actually organized as a republic; most are simple dictatorships with no functioning government at all, and some like Conch Republic also have nothing to do with piracy. If it were Category:Pirate havens then maybe we'd be on to something, but that too would be a duplicate of the proposed target. The category has been emptied, anyway. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:12, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete It seems to be riffing on Republic of Pirates, but that description as a "republic" does not extend to every locale that has experienced or is a haven for piracy. Also, Category:Pirate dens and locations already exists, and would seem to suffice. ValarianB (talk) 18:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
