 * 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  16:25, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Malayala Manorama to Category:Malayala Manorama group
 * Nominator's rationale: Appears to be the same intended scope. I prefer this direction for the merge although the reverse merge might be preferable given the absence of an article about the Malayala Manorama group. Pichpich (talk) 20:46, 11 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. As Malayala Manorama appears to be about the newspaper only, the proposed merge direction makes perfect sense. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Rationale: There are 218 members in all in and 32 counties, ie around 7 per county. Moreover County Dublin has 74, County Antrim (Belfast) has 36 and County Cork has 22, leaving around 66 to be distributed amongst 29 counties. Clearly any attempt to split up trade unionists much further by county  is doomed (indeed not one other passes user:William Allen Simpson’s stated minimum requirement of 10, Galway leading the way with 9). In addition to the small numbers, Patricia Ryan (politician), say, is being categorised by place of birth (unsourced), contrary to WP:COP-PLACE. Indeed most of the articles if properly scrutinised do not support the addition of the 'by county' category at all. Oculi (talk) 21:44, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Please note that the nominator Oculi has been reminded many times recently that WP:SMALLCAT is for categories which are "Small with no potential for growth ", and tat as with many other nominations by Oculi, he makes no attempt to assess the potential for growth, beyond noting the current ally of articles in in. There is no consideration of undercategorisation of TU ppl, or of the rate of new articles. This is yet another blatantly bad faith nomination by a highly-experienced editor w persistently refuses to apply te actual guideline WP:SUBCAT, and who is par of a tag team overtly targeting my work i revenge for my opposing some of his nominations. I would be open to a review of these categories, but this is wildly premature.--  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 17:50, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge All for Now with no objection to recreating any that reach 5+ articles for people who were labor unionists in that county. (While WP:SMALLCAT does not give a number, 5 articles has been a more common rule of thumb in CFD than 10.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:01, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now. This category series is only 9 days old. Ten of the 19 nominated categories have either 3 or 4 pages, meaning that only one more would be needed to reach 5.  There is much uncaegorisation of Irish trade unionists, so I expect  many more articles to be added to the set in coming weeks and months. Furthermore, I have not yet populated the activist-by-county categories, which will be much bigger, and it will be unhelpful to lose the TU ppl in those larger sets.
 * Request Please let's focus on the categories rather than other editors, flawed though they may be. - RevelationDirect (talk) 05:03, 30 June 2023 (UTC)


 * @RevelationDirect: when editors tag-team to abuse the CFD process by systematically misrepresenting guidelines and vindictively targeting the work of other editors, then it is important that this info is presented to the CFD discussion.
 * In 17 years at CFD, I have never before seen anything remotely like this.  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 08:34, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a difference of opinion over the WP:SMALLCAT guideline; it's not worth throwing out WP:5P4 with the bath water. And I'm also trying to do better here; I struck a part of my comment in another nomination that was about you and not the category. (Sorry about that, btw.) Why don't we both lower the temperature? - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:20, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No it is not a difference of opinion. There has been a systematic efforts by a tag team (in which Oculi is one of the two main players) to radically misrepresent WP:SMALLCAT and to use that misrepresented guideline vindictively. WP:SMALLCAT is unambiguously restricted (inter alia) to cats which are "Small with no potential for growth", and it is being systematically abused by editors (including you) who wholly ignore the "no potential for growth" part.
 * The way to lower the temperature is to stop tag-teaming, and to withdraw the vindictive nominations. I welcome your striking of one of your comments, but I note that on that page you have not even struck your bogus allegation in that discussion that I had threatened the closer (an allegation which you also made elsewhere) or you appalling !vote to merge on the grounds that one editor would not commit to populating the nominated categories, or your false allegations of WP:POINT disruption.  If you really want to lower the temperature then stop pouring petrol on fires and stop enabling the tag team and stop being an attack dog for the tag team.   Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 10:47, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Suggestion This is feeling more like a User talk page conversation between two editors so I'll move this conversation there. I don't want issues between us to inadvertently distract from discusison of the categories. (And that goes for both of us.) How about we collapse this whole exchange and the 2nd half of your iVote and leave other editors with a clean CFD discussion?- RevelationDirect (talk) 12:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Collapsing everything after my initial reply above. (Feel free to expand this to the 2nd half of your iVote and my reply, or feel free to remove it.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * How is this different from Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_17 where the nominator appeals to WP:SMALLCAT? It seems to depend very much on who created the category (or made the nomination). Oculi (talk) 23:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: rename, "battles involving" is not the right phrase, because the Austrian Netherlands was part of the Habsburg monarchy and thus was not a war party in its own right. "Military history" suits better. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

 * I thought the name was pretty self-explanatory, but I've been surprised by less. It's a tracking category, for instances, for articles whose subject is located in Victoria.  Sure it's empty now, but that doesn't mean it will always be empty. –Fredddie™ 00:49, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

And I don't like the idea of removing just one of the subcats of: Category:Infobox road instances in Australia. That said, I agree with Marcocapelle, that all the subcats could probably be UpMerged to the Australia cat.

 * UpMerge to Category:Beauty pageants (and diffuse to whatever appropriate subcats at editorial discretion). Every member has Mrs. in the title. I don't think there's any confusion about these. - jc37 09:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: split and purge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:43, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose upmerging the not-by-country children of Category:Germanic folklore (Category:Germanic legendary creatures, Category:Norman folklore, Category:Scandinavian folklore and Category:Sagas) to Category:European folklore
 * Propose merging the by-country children of Category:Germanic folklore (the rest) to Category:European folklore by country
 * Purge all "by country" children from Category:Indo-European folklore
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:CROSSCAT between language family and the Category:Folklore by country tree. I think I won't have to explain anymore why we shouldn't mix up country and language family, will I? Anyway, the by-country children of Category:Germanic folklore should be merged to Category:European folklore by country (where they already are), the not-by-country children of Category:Germanic folklore should be upmerged, because they are evidently European, but not necessarily "Germanic".

 * Split Category:Germanic folklore to Category:European folklore and Category:European folklore by country; purge all "by country" children from Category:Indo-European folklore, per nom. "Germanic" is currently no longer used as an ethnic term (in contrast to the early middle ages), it now only refers to language family. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:25, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Just checking: should we put the not-by-country Category:Germanic legendary creatures, Category:Norman folklore, Category:Scandinavian folklore and Category:Sagas in Category:European folklore?
 * And the by-country cats in Category:European folklore by country? Then I agree with you. (I'll update the rationale, which is currently a bit unclear). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 05:45, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Dual internationalists (football) to ?
 * Propose renaming Category:Dual men's international footballers to ?
 * Propose renaming Category:Dual internationalists (women's football) to ?
 * Nominator's rationale: These categories should have a consistent naming scheme, though I am unsure of what the best titles would be. Note that there is no article titled Dual internationalists (football) or Dual internationals (football), which makes using the disambiguation format seem somewhat strange (though maybe it is the clearest option). The article on the topic is located at List of association footballers who have been capped for two senior national teams. As this is not a country-specific category, the renamed categories should contain "association football" to follow the naming scheme of the Association football players category tree. Also note that "internationalists" is used nowhere else in the footballer category tree, nor does any football article use it in the title. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:45, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Some possible options for the parent category:
 * Category:Dual internationalists (association football)
 * Category:Dual international association football players

 * Drive-by comment, general Oppose "Dual internationalist" is the actual, and commonly recognised, term (IDK, google it) and should be preserved. I strongly oppose any proposal that does not include it. I have heard "men's football dual internationalist" a lot and would perhaps support any rename based on such phrasing. I also fiercely oppose any proposal that basically invokes a descriptive sentence, they are generally poor and should only be reserved for categories that really need it, and this really doesn't. Kingsif (talk) 23:34, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Drive-by clarification note: yes, most players for national teams are "internationals" - Harry Kane could be called an England international men's footballer. I don't know why it becomes "(dual) internationalists" when it's more than one nation, perhaps there's something related to the history there, but it is AFAIK. Kingsif (talk) 23:38, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Question to User:Kingsif: in which variant of English is the term "dual internationalists" commonly used, apart from Scots which has been mentioned earlier? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:37, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * All? British, at least, and when Gio Reyna was discussed as a potential England player so I imagine American, too. I can't say I've ever spoken about the subject with Scottish people. Perhaps that's where it came from - Scots playing for England and vice versa was common in the early days - but it's now become the actual term on the whole. Kingsif (talk) 02:46, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I know I am only one person and can't definitely say I am representative, but I am British, have been a football fan for forty years, and have never personally used the term "internationalist". I would definitely dispute that it's the most commonly used term..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Option 2, second choice option 5. Internationalist seems more unclear to me, even if it is the actual term.<span id="Qwerfjkl:1689861070860:WikipediaFTTCLNCategories_for_discussion/Log/2023_July_11" class="FTTCmt"> — Qwerfjkl  talk  13:51, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Alternative proposals: {gender} {I/i}nternational footballers with dual caps; or {gender} {I/i}nternational association football players with dual caps.
 * This would help to maintain the naming tree consistency and is also already a prevalent version of naming the related articles per nominator's links or something like List of men's footballers with 100 or more international caps.
 * Additionally it solves a potential confusion to not categorize international footballers with multiple nationalities as we would clearly countify appearances for multiple national teams that the plethora of previous suggestions might be mistaken with. Respublik (talk) 12:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * would any of you support this late proposal, "with dual caps" rather than initial "Dual"? – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Fayenatic London That capped wording sounds more accurate to me. In this case, I'd support that rename to Men's footballers with dual caps... and/or women's footballers with dual caps. Even thought it relates to the nationality capping for association footballers, I'm not too sure about that international or internationalist word that would fit for that category, but there should be a wiggle room there.

 * Strong oppose "footballer with dual caps" is not a thing anybody has said, ever. Ever. If people think there needs to be a change (the term "dual internationalist" is easy enough to interpret there does not need to be a change), then describing (i.e. "footballers capped for more than one senior national team") would be the only good option; trying to make up a non-indicative phrase of our own is a terrible idea. Kingsif (talk) 21:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The first part is a fair point and thus I retract alts. Although I've found these from rugby and football, but there were more hits about dual caps being different versions of a sport/different sports. The part "the term "dual internationalist" is easy enough to interpret" seems inaccurate, as it not only had actually none hits as a definition for appearance with dual NTs, but also only was mentioned a few times at all and only for the different sports/types of sport as well.

 * Propose deleting royal houses of the netherlands
 * Propose deleting category
 * Nominator's rationale: Category description: The Royal houses, of which members ruled the Kingdom of the Netherlands and/or its constituent parts. Well, there has been only one: Category:House of Orange-Nassau. All other children are neither "royal" nor "the Kingdom of the Netherlands and/or its constituent parts". The Kingdom was founded in 1815, longer after these counties and duchies had been abolished in 1795. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:30, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Nominator's rationale (Belgium): Added "Belgian royal houses", because same problem. Either you count Category:House of Belgium as a sibling or as a child of Category:House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Belgium) (currently it is both; one is a continuation of the other). That makes a WP:SMALLCAT of 1 or 2 items, because the other 3 children are neither "royal" nor "the Kingdom of Belgium and/or its constituent parts." Because Belgium was established in 1830, when the County of Flanders and Duchy of Limburg were long gone. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:38, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  03:57, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * NB WP:SMALLCAT refers to articles, not subcats. All articles in the subcats are also in their parents via WP:SUBCAT. There are plenty of valid categories with only 2 subcats, eg those split into male/female such as Category:Actors from Brussels. Oculi (talk) 11:03, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Purge until one subcategory is left, then merge to parent categories, per nom's rationale. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep in each case. For the (northern) Netherlands before 1795, the House of Orange-Nassau held a position, something like a hereditary president.  However post-1830 Netherlands and pre-1795 United Provinces have much the same extent, so that a good solution is to ignore the complications of the intervening period, with the Batavian Republic and then United Netherlands.  Similarly, post-1830 Belgium is much the same territory as pre-1795 Austrian Netherlands, previously Spanish, though the Bishopric of Liege was added.  We do not like anachronism but in this case it provides a good solution.  We commonly use the current name as parent for categories that include the same place under a previous name, e.g. DRC/Zaire; Burkino Faso/Upper Volta.  This solution is not all that different. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:20, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This ignores the main point of the nominator: there has only ever been one royal family in each. Other families in these categories aren't royal. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:05, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Support alternative, agree that more clarity is useful, but the name House of Belgium is only being used since 1920. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, so historically it is correct not to use it before 1920, but then we need to make clear distinctions between before and after. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:51, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as is. There was never another House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to rule Belgium, so disambiguating by dates is not necessary. If you wish to stress that this category should be used exclusively for the 1830-1920 period, this is typically the kind of things to be precised in the category description, not in the category name. The current format is consistent with Category:House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Bulgaria) and Category:House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (United Kingdom), the latter of which also renamed itself to House of Windsor for the same reasons. A purge is probably necessary to keep e.g. Baudouin of Belgium out of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha category, which would solve the OVERLAPCAT issue. Merge as second-best option, but then keep parent Category:House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha for the merged category. Place Clichy (talk) 01:58, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

 * In retrospect Place Clichy has made a fair point. I am also considering the fact that Category:House of Belgium is a subcategory of Category:House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Belgium) so everyone post 1920 should not be directly in the parent category anyway, per WP:SUBCAT.

 * Not all articles of Category:Alcohol and health fit Category:Health effects of alcohol, e.g. CAGE questionnaire does not. I guess the solution is to move part of the articles manually from Category:Alcohol and health to Category:Health effects of alcohol. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:48, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Marcocapelle. These two categories overlap substantially. As you have pointed out that some articles don't fit Category:Health effects of alcohol and there is no need to have almost duplicate categories, my alternative proposal would be to move the content to Category:Alcohol and health, which can then be a subcategory of Category:Health effects by subject. Such naming is common in that category, so this should not be an issue. --TadejM my talk 05:10, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That does not solve the problem. Not all articles of Category:Alcohol and health fit the tree of Category:Health effects by subject, e.g. CAGE questionnaire does not. I still think the two categories can exist next each other, i.e. Category:Alcohol and health as parent of Category:Health effects of alcohol. The overlap can be solved by moving part of the articles from Category:Alcohol and health to Category:Health effects of alcohol. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Although technically ancient history conventionally only starts at 3000 BC(E), the Egyptian pharaohs in Category:4th-millennium BC people may already be considered part of recorded history, so they wouldn't fit in a category like Category:Prehistoric people. The remaining two pre-3000 BC cats are both WP:SMALLCATs, and the 3rd- to 1st-millennium BC cats may fairly be called "Ancient people". So all of these can be Upmerged to Category:Ancient people. We can look at the AD/CE millennium cats later, let's just sort these out first. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:08, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 3rd, 2nd and 1st millennium BC withdrawn for now for procedural reasons, to simplify our decision-making. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * PS: For the BC children of Category:Deaths by millennium we could of course create Category:Ancient deaths. We've already got Category:Executed ancient people, Category:Ancient murder victims, and Category:Ancient people who committed suicide (currently in CfR, could end up as simply "Ancient suicides"). There seems to be no reason for a "by millennium" tree here either. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:25, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep; these are useful for navigation, as there are other topics categorised by millennium. Some of the contents are not categorised by century due to uncertainty, e.g. Barum woman, Minnesota Woman, Stoneyisland Man, Luttra Woman, Agastya, Girl of the Uchter Moor, Category:Book of Judges people, and even more precision would be lost unnecessarily by merging to "ancient people". If this nomination nevertheless gains support, it should be expanded with its "millennium" subcats e.g. Category:4th-millennium BC women, Category:3rd-millennium BC deaths. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think much "precision" is lost when we are talking about thousands of years. It is highly unlikely that the average reader would be looking for someone in Category:6th-millennium BC people to look for Minnesota Woman; but I find it very plausible that they would be looking for her in Category:Ancient people or Category:Ancient women.
 * I agree the subcats should eventually follow, that is why I have made a point about "Ancient deaths" already. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 11:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep : Not redundant: clearly anyone who can be categorised by a century should be so categorised, and not also put into the parent category (and this can be clarified in category notes if necessary), but there are people like Barum woman ("died 7010–6540 BCE") for whom a millennium category remains appropriate. Pam  D  10:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * And looking at the other examples above inspires me to move her to Barum Woman for consistency. Pam  D  10:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Sooo... Barum Woman ("died 7010–6540 BCE") could also have died in the 8th millennium BC, and never even seen the dawn of the 7th millennium BC? So we have a margin of error of 470 years (almost half a millennium), yet it "remains appropriate" to create a "by millennium" category just for her alone, even if it's a WP:SMALLCAT, and even if she may have never lived in it? So much for "precision". This is just WP:OR. She should be in Category:Date of death unknown at the most (unless we want to create a Category:1st-mega-annum BC people/deaths to make absolutely sure she is "precisely"/"appropriately" categorised). This is bordering on the ridiculous.
 * Lastly, the "30th-century BC women rulers" CfM already confirmed that we don't need to have "by century" categories just for their own sake. If they are SMALLCATs, they can and should be upmerged. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:04, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, a new suggstion:
 * Merge the 7th-4th categories into Category:Pre-3000 BC people. If "technically ancient history conventionally only starts at 3000 BC(E)" (fascinating, I never knew that), then it makes sense to have a single category for those people who are more ancient than ancient history. It then fits into the hierarchy along with the categories for 3rd, 2nd, 1st millennia BC, which should be almost entirely parent categories but will possibly have the occasional "can't be more precise" entry. And we need to sort out what to do with the earliest Pharaohs: the problem seems to be that "ancient (recorded) history" in Egypt goes back further than the conventional definition. I think we do need a category in which the identified individuals from the very distant past can be grouped together and not just bundled in with everyone else born BCE. I am not an ancient historian, but created Barum Woman as part of Women in Red's Women in the Ancient World editathon Pam  D  19:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @PamD That sounds like a great idea!! Incidentally, I am a historian (although antiquity is not my specialisation), and I've also written about women's history. Barum Woman is a fascinating article, and I thank you for creating it. (Any snarky jokes I made in my previous comment were not aimed at you, just at the current categorisation scheme as a whole). The millennia categories are just not very practical in this domain of time so long ago with very imprecise dates. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:26, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * PS: I'm leaning more towards the archaeology alternative now. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Dual merge Category:7th-millennium BC people to Category:Ancient people and Category:7th millennium BC per WP:SMALLCAT, and the same applies to 6th millennium BC. Normally we do not have people articles in topic categories but this is an exception that we may allow. The articles are more about an archaeological finding than an actual biography. For the 4th millennium BC and younger it is a too premature nomination, as there are subcategories by millennium involved too. I would recommend to withdraw these and (possibly) initially renominate the 4th millennium BC people categories and subcategories only. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Different merge target: rather than to Category:Ancient people, Category:7th-millennium BC people and Category:6th-millennium BC people should be merged to Category:Human remains (archaeological). So my alt merge proposal is as below. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Alt upmerging Category:7th-millennium BC people to Category:7th millennium BC and Category:Human remains (archaeological)
 * Alt upmerging Category:6th-millennium BC people to Category:6th millennium BC and Category:Human remains (archaeological)


 * What do you think PamD's suggestion:
 * "Merge the 7th-4th categories into Category:Pre-3000 BC people"? I think it's a great idea. For the 3rd, 2nd and 1st millennium perhaps you're right. I could withdraw them for now for procedural reasons. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is not a great idea at all. It would mix up archaeology with borderline history or legends. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:49, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm I guess the archaeology alternative does make more sense, yes. Good idea. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've withdrawn the 3rd l, 2nd and 1st millennium for now as you suggested. I'm keeping the 4th for now because here archaeology and history start to mix, and we need to decide what to do with that. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:55, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I would still prefer to keep, as a consistent structure, but in case there is consensus to merge, wouldn't Category:Prehistoric people be better than "Pre-3000 BC"? The article Prehistory refers to periods ending around 3,000 BC, which is a neat match. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:01, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I would not oppose that, but an article like Iry-Hor would not belong there together with articles about archaeological human remains. Also, I suppose, would this become a subcategory of Category:Human remains (archaeological)? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:30, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I said in the rationale Although technically ancient history conventionally only starts at 3000 BC(E), the Egyptian pharaohs in Category:4th-millennium BC people may already be considered part of recorded history, so they wouldn't fit in a category like Category:Prehistoric people. For me, what counts heavily is that we usually know the names of these earliest pharaohs because they were written down = recorded history. That's another reason why I find Marcocapelle's Alt proposal to Upmerge to Category:Human remains (archaeological) so compelling: names like Barum Woman, Minnesota Woman, Stoneyisland Man etc. are all made up by modern researchers, because these people or their communities didn't leave behind any writings with names. Moreover, we've got Category:Bog bodies such as Girl of the Uchter Moor (died c. 764–515 BCE) and Yde Girl (died c.  54 BCE–128 CE) who lived and died in northern Europe amongst prehistoric cultures which were still illiterate, while the ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Indians, Chinese, Greeks etc. already had firmly developed written cultures. Putting such people in a Category:Prehistoric people category would be correct for them, but then we can't say that this category only contains people who lived/died before 3000 BCE anymore. Given that we've already got the Category:Human remains (archaeological) tree, and it is contentious to put these people in a "by millennium" or "by century" history category (tree), Upmerging is the logical course of action here. I think Marcocapelle is spot-on. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:14, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

 * OK, Category:Human remains (archaeological) looks quite a good place for Barum Woman (and similar), and is better than the original idea of putting her into a category (Category:Ancient people) which goes right up to 800AD. Pam  D  16:19, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Two questions: should Category:Human remains (archaeological) be a child category of Category:Ancient people?, and would identifiably female such remains go into Category:Ancient women (which has only 2 entries not in subcategories), or somewhere else. It feels important to have a categorisation which identifies women in prehistory. Pam  D  16:26, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * According to the current proposal, no. We will be keeping archaeological and historical categories separate. Whether the archaeological tree could benefit from a subcategorisation by gender (or perhaps 'sex' is a better term in this context) is a valid question. Although some remains cannot be identified, and some have been misidentified, those that are may probably be categorised as such. Personally I am in favour of it.

 * $$ The only exception is Muhammad in Category:7th-century rulers in Asia, which might be contentious.
 * If we Upmerge as nominated, he will end up simply in Category:7th-century Asian people, but that seems unhelpful.
 * I'm not sure we can categorise him as Category:7th-century monarchs in Asia or Category:7th-century monarchs in the Middle East (the Succession to Muhammad has been controversial up until the present day), even though his successors – the Category:Rashidun caliphs – are.
 * Category:7th-century heads of government probably doesn't quite cut it; Abu Bakr may have been the "prime minister" of Muhammad, the latter would arguably have been "head of state" (under certain interpretations of the Constitution of Medina, for example), but there is no Category:7th-century heads of state.
 * Some would characterise him as Category:Warlords, but that term carries some negative connotations and is often used by critics of Muhammad/Islam, so I recommend against it for now (I did add Category:7th-century military personnel, which I think nobody will dispute; he is already in Category:Arab generals).
 * If we don't know what to do, we can always postpone a decision and simply Upmerge Muhammad to Category:7th-century rulers for now.

 * Australia's centennial was in 2001 and, to celebrate, the Centenary Medal was automatically given to every living Australian who was 100 years old. (If you were born on or before 31 December 1901, you go the award; if you were born on 1 January 1902, you were out of luck.) 14,000 additional medals were widely handed out to others that year but the only thing these articles have in common is that they do not treat this award as defining. This creates a comingled grouping including actor Russell Crowe, organic winemaker Gil Wahlquist, prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, rabbi John Levi, Olympian Bill Roycroft, and zookeeper Steve Irwin.
