Irish field hockey players

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Rationale: There are 124 members in all in and 32 counties, ie around 4 per county. Moreover County Dublin has 48 and County Antrim (Belfast) has 17, leaving around 60 to be distributed amongst 30 counties. Clearly that any attempt to split up Irish field hockey players much further by county  is doomed (indeed not one other passes user:William Allen Simpson’s stated minimum requirement of 10, County Down leading the way with 8). In addition to the small numbers, Sheelagh Murnaghan, say, is being categorised as a hockey player when the only mention of hockey in her article relates to her student days. Bill Haughton was a hockey player but is again categorised by place of birth (unsourced), contrary to WP:COP-PLACE. (“Haughton played [cricket] once for Ireland, a first-class match against Glamorgan on 23 May 1953. He was dismissed for a duck in both innings”) Editors populating these categories should  take responsibility for their edits rather than relying on ‘Petscan assured me this would be fine’.

 * Merge All for Now with no objection to recreating any that reach 5+ articles. It's hard to imagine a tree further from a "large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" as envisioned in WP:SMALLCAT since fully half have just 1 article. (If it ever gets to the point where just a couple are small, then it would make sense navigationally to complete the set.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:50, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom, simply not enough eligible articles to be split systematically across so many subcats. Crowsus (talk) 17:06, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * 'No objection. That set ended up with a weird distribution: a big cluster in Dublin, then a v long thin tail. Other sets had one or the other, but not both. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 17:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic  L ondon 04:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Pathological science to Category:Pseudoscience
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:TRIVIALCAT, WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, basically just means "particularly annoying pseudoscience" &#32;- car chasm (talk) 03:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment, pathological science seems to be a particular type of pseudoscience. It is not a very defining term though. But I am also not sure if the articles of this category really belong in pseudoscience. Category:Types of scientific fallacy, seems a better merge target, provided that this category is kept, maybe under another name. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:45, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to subcategory of Category:Types of scientific fallacy. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:21, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That target category has been nominated for deletion. (No opinion on that outcome.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:14, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  21:42, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Listify. It has a main category called pathological science, so in theory it should be okay. I certainly don't think it's trivial, it can be really dangerous. But as a term, "pathological science" may be somewhat subjective or arbitrary as a classification, also vis-à-vis pseudoscience as said (where does one end and the other begin?). Listify allows us to support each classification with RS. Categorisation does not give us that option. The main article is already full of cited examples, so that seems a logical way to go. If anyone doubts whether calling Foo a pathological science is valid, we can support it with an RS. If we can't, the item Foo can be removed from the list. Seems the best option to me. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:08, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think this is a good idea in addition to a merge. The nomination reasons are WP:OC-specific policy reasons, not value judgements on the concept itself. Plenty of things can be verifiable and notable but still WP:OC, pathological is certainly peripheral to "pseudoscience" or "discredited" and the fact that we can verify that a WP:RS called it pathological doesn't make their assessment "non-subjective" in the WP:SUBJECTIVECAT sense. &#32;- car chasm (talk) 04:13, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah,I guess Listify & Merge is the best option then. Both. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:36, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * See parallel discussion at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_21, the discussion now tends to manual split. I suppose the two nominations should be closed likewise. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:37, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The latter may no longer apply as the other discussion tends to deletion. Maybe there is something to salvage here. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Oppose listifying: the examples that are called pathological science are already in the article and any other examples should not be added to the article because that would be entirely arbitrary. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:35, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete (or merge) per Marcocappelle. — Qwerfjkl  talk  17:57, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * UpMerge to Category:Obsolete scientific theories (and diffuse to subcats as appropriate). I think there's a difference between something like cold fusion, and talking about the paranormal. So I think pseudoscience isn't quite the right target. (Which could be part of why there is such a divergence of thought on this.) I might suggest Listifying, but since, per Marcocapelle, they already are, no need for that, I suppose. - jc37 19:56, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Lithuanian emigration to Category:Lithuanian diaspora
 * Nominator's rationale: The contents are not about emigration per se as the communities in which they find themselves. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:20, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting teach for america alumni
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF. Teach for America is a short-term teaching program and not defining for these people, most of whom are politicians and lawyers. It is similar to AmeriCorps VISTA, which was deleted in 2020 and Peace Corps volunteers, which was deleted in April. User:Namiba 17:10, 24 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:PERFCAT and WP:NOT. Most of these articles are about people who are no longer educators who brandish this early work experience to show what a great person they are. And maybe they are great people! But this is Wikipedia not LinkedIn. - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:22, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Rename per WP:C2D. This could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:45, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Rationale: all of the above categories have 1 article at the time of listing. Previous cfds (often nominated by user:Bearcat) have deleted high school alumni categories on WP:SMALLCAT grounds, such as this cfd. In contrast this more recent cfd has stimulated editors to populate most of them, an excellent outcome. A search such as this for Fernhill might find potential additions. When adding an article for an alumnus, the school should be mentioned in the article, preferably sourced. In some cases the school article, linked in the table above, will have a list of illustrious alumni. (The nominator has no obligation to make any attempt to populate any categories created by others. That responsibility lies entirely with the creator of a category, whose first edits post-creation should be to find members, and delete the wretched thing if no more can be found.)

 * Delete all, either insufficient for a category or no effort made by creator or others to find enough to make valid, none are new. Crowsus (talk) 17:02, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not useful and is already covered by Category:Museums in the United Arab Emirates by city Vyvagaba (talk) 10:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. There is no need to merge, the content is already in Category:Museums in the United Arab Emirates by city and Category:Buildings and structures in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep — calling this and other categories on this page "pointless" is denigrating to the creating editors, and other users, to whom the categories are not pointless. These categories match those for several "united" counties such as the UAE, UK, and USA, with sub-regions such as emirates/nations/states. Better reasoning based on Wikipedia policy rather than a personal and discourteous opinion is needed. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 15:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete for Now for now. Grouping these 2 subcategories doesn't aid navigation but, if there is future growth with direct articles or additional subcats, it may have use later. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:11, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Note — this category included two categories and an article on a museum. There are most likely other museums without an existing article in this category too since the Emirate of Abu Dhabi is far larger than just the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 18:19, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Is there some reason that article can't just be put directly in Category:Museums in the United Arab Emirates? This is the only "by emirate" subcategory of that, and the parent isn't large enough to need further diffusion. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 17:21, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD, WP:PERFCAT, WP:NONDEFINING
 * The American University in Cairo has an annual project where they pick a worthy book in Arabic, translate it into English, and then publish it through their University Press. The Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature definitely fits the school's cross-cultural mission. This category groups authors who wrote the winning books but those biography articles don't treat this award as defining, generally listing it with other honours. The category contents are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 24 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Background We deleted another university award/publishing deal category right here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting Category:Prix Jean Freustié winners
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD, WP:NONDEFINING
 * The Jean Freustié Prize is a literary award from France given to French-language authors of "prose work: a novel, short story, autobiography, biography or essay". The author articles don't treat this award as defining, generally listing it with other honours. This is one of many French literary award categories created in late 2016/early 2017. The category contents are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
