Category:Vasconic languages

 * 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 Timrollpickering (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Vasconic languages to Category:Proposed Vasconic languages
 * Nominator's rationale: The Vasconic language group is accoring to the subjects own article not an actually accepted language family, as such languages should not be categorized as being part of it uncritically. ★Trekker (talk) 23:53, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:24, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, the existence of multiple Vasconic languages is generally not accepted. The articles are already referring to each other in the body text. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete

Category:WIP people

 * 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 Timrollpickering (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting wip people
 * Nominator's rationale: At the very least, this should be renamed to Category:WIP-FM people to match WIP-FM although there's a complicated story between WIP-AM and WTEL (AM). However, I think deletion makes more sense: some of the articles in the category don't even mention WIP and I cannot find any subtree of our categorization system that categorizes people by radio station in this way. Pichpich (talk) 22:44, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:25, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Categorizing radio personalities by individual station they may have worked for is very much in the ballpark of a WP:PERFCAT violation — and would lead to extreme category bloat, since most radio personalities have worked for a lot more than just one station over the course of their careers. Bearcat (talk) 16:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ruthenian Uniate eparchies to Category:Eparchies of the Ruthenian Uniate Church
 * Nominator's rationale: To correct the word order - eparchies should be first. While the term "uniate" is not now in use, it would be anachronistic not to use it for the time in which the Ruthenian Uniate Church was in operation. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:43, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment, all article titles say "Catholic" instead of "Uniate" and a few eparchies are still in operation in the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:57, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Reply It's true that there is some continuity between the eparchies of what is essentially the same ecclesial body that has two names - the Ruthenian Uniate Church and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The 'watershed' for the names is not so much the Partitions of Poland as the repression under the Soviet Union. The name change occured under Metropolitan Josyf Slipyj. So one of the two names must be used I suppose since the current name is incomplete and identifies neither body. Laurel Lodged (talk) 08:27, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair point. If nobody else reacts on "Catholic" then let's just go ahead with the rename as nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:18, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School alumni

 * 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: Moot. The category's content has been moved to Category:Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School alumni. (Non-admin close) Pichpich (talk) 20:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting paul d. schreiber senior high school alumni
 * Nominator's rationale: Category:Paul D. Schreiber High School alumni already exists. After this now-empty category is deleted, the old category should be renamed to match the parent article Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School. Alansohn (talk) 19:21, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm confused. You are nominating for deletion the currently empty Category:Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School alumni and at the same time arguing that the proper name for this category is precisely "Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School alumni"? Sounds more like a renaming request and probably one which could be done via speedy renaming. Pichpich (talk) 22:48, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Category:Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School alumni has been emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 02:11, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * this is not a useful nomination. You should nominate Category:Paul D. Schreiber High School alumni to be renamed. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:39, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Paul D. Schreiber High School alumni has been nominated for renaming. Alansohn (talk) 21:53, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I guess that this nomination is moot now? Marcocapelle (talk) 08:48, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

 * 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. Kbdank71 02:54, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting texas–rio grande valley vaqueros men's soccer seasons
 * Nominator's rationale: Category contains only two members, both of which are redirects, because their given subjects are not notable enough for inclusion. It is absolutely possible that this category could be useful in the future, but right now it only serves to encourage creation of non-notable pages. fuzzy510 (talk) 18:57, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Feminine surnames

 * 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 to Category:Gendered surnames. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:15, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Feminine surnames to Category:Language-specific gendered surnames
 * Nominator's rationale: The name of this category is misleading, since there is no category for musculine names. It suggests that all other surnames are musculine. It creates a huge issue in case of non-binary genders. It should be at least renamed to something like "Language-specific gendered surnames". Geysirhead (talk) 18:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete this category and upmerge the subcategories within the surnames by language tree, per WP:TRIVIALCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Gendered surnames are a thing in many many many cultures, it is not trivial any more than gendered given names are trivial.★Trekker (talk) 00:29, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support due to lack of a parent category, but it would need to be Category:Gendered surnames. If deemed appropriate, it can later be divided into masculine and feminine surnames. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 11:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with LaundryPizza.★Trekker (talk) 09:38, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:32, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support but manually merge, just one actual article that should be moved to Category:Ewoks. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete with manual merge per Marco.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:37, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Roads in Zambia. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Main Roads in Zambia to Category:Main roads in Zambia
 * Propose renaming Category:Trunk Roads in Zambia to Category:Trunk roads in Zambia
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:TITLEFORMAT - "roads" is not a proper noun — Smjg (talk) 11:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Upmerge to Category:Roads in Zambia. We don't have or . Category:Trunk Roads in Zambia should also be upmerged. In general a new local category should use existing global names. Looking at Category:Roads_by_type,  'highway' might be the closest, but then it is not as if Category:Roads in Zambia is so vast that it needs subcats. Oculi (talk) 16:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Category:Trunk Roads in Zambia has the same issue. Should I bundle that category into this CfD? –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 21:48, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge per Oculi and remove the articles from Category:Road infrastructure in Zambia which is the parent category of Category:Roads in Zambia. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:19, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Upmerge the trunk roads and main roads subcategories and cleanup Category:Road infrastructure in Zambia. In the end, the categorization scheme should be similar to other subcategories of Category:Road infrastructure in Africa by country. Pichpich (talk) 22:57, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per Oculi. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:36, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:20, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting manuscripts written in khitan large script
 * Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in the category. There is no need to merge, the article is already in proper Khitan and manuscripts subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:12, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose WP:SMALLCAT says I would suggest that Category:Manuscripts by script is just such "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme". Daask (talk) 17:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That is nonsense. There are only five subcategories, one of which isn't about a particular script. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:23, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:35, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
