Category:1877 establishments in Transvaal Colony

 * The result of the discussion was: rename/merge/delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:1877 establishments in Transvaal Colony to Category:1877 establishments in the South African Republic
 * Propose merging Category:1870s establishments in Transvaal Colony to Category:1870s establishments in the South African Republic
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in Transvaal Colony by year
 * Nominator's rationale: 1877 is currently the only year within Category:Establishments in Transvaal Colony by year. The South African Republic (ZAR, also known as the Transvaal Republic) lasted from 1852 to 1902. In 1877 the British annexed the ZAR as the Transvaal, a British colony. However, the lead section of the article Transvaal Colony uses that name for period of direct British rule over a larger area between 1902 and 1910. It would be clearer to rename this 1877 category as part of ZAR history. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:36, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Category:Buildings and structures by monarch

 * 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. This was a rather contentious discussion, but most people seem to be in favor of deletion. Aside from those who explicity !voted delete or listify, there were several comments arguing that the categories are ill-defined, possibly being WP:OCASSOC, and that not all of the listed articles mention a monarch in connection to the topic. Because of the ambiguity in scope, listification seems unlikely as well, so I have chosen deletion as the most satisfactory response. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 17:06, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Buildings and structures by monarch to Category:Building projects by instigator
 * Nominator's rationale: I think did better with naming the subcat Category:Building projects in Rome by instigator. Note that "building projects" would be inconsistent with the rest of Category:Buildings and structures, but IMHO seems fitting in this case. Some alternatives would be "by patron" or "by sponsor". – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 11:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC) or delete WP:SMALLCAT
 * Delete (Listify if wanted) - Looking through these, they're sort of "Buildings and structures built or remodeled/refurbished/rebuilt during the reign of a certain monarch. Instigator? No, not in all cases. These aren't even as closely aligned as Category:Buildings and structures by family, and definitely nowhere near Category:Buildings and structures by designer. These should be lists at best, per WP:CLN. - jc37 00:42, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a container category, it should only be deleted if together with its subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 * (withdrawn) Rename to Category:Buildings and structures by sponsor — Agree that this whole tree seems an outlier. This was just moved at Speedy from "Buildings and structures by monarchs" plural (that is, the "s" was removed), also nominated by Fayenatic london. This is the only "by monarch" category. building projects in rome by instigator is the only "by instigator" category. Category:Hadrian's Wall isn't in Rome, no idea why it is "in Rome by instigator". "By sponsor" has some chance of being broadly relevant, as we could include Category:Carnegie libraries. Tagging subcategories, adding them above.
 * One of the subcategories is already under discussion at Categories for discussion/Log/2023 February 14

William Allen Simpson (talk) 19:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC) William Allen Simpson (talk) 19:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I had in mind to come back and add the sub-cats once I saw which way the wind was blowing. I've added the last one for Dutugamunu. One reason for "building projects" was the inclusion of Petra, Lazica and Category:Petra, Lazica; a fortified town is better described as a building project rather than a building or structure. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:33, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Looking at those, there is a problem: Lohaprasada was built by Dutugamunu, Lovamahapaya is simply "a building of this class". No mention of being built by Dutugamunu. The other two claim to be have been built by Dutugamunu. Is this a category likely to be expanded?
 * There is only one other mentioned in the article. So delete Category:Buildings and structures completed in the reign of Dutugamunu, as the list is already a section of the article.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Query Is it correct to say that every building started/completed during Hadrian's reign was sponsored by Hadrian? Might some not just be spontaneous or simply private? So then, a better target might be Category:Buildings and structures erected in the reign of Hadrian? Laurel Lodged (talk) 15:55, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This is an attempt to built a relevant tree, instead of just deleting them. Some will be pruned. Only those documented as government sponsored would qualify.
 * Hmm. What about the Arch of Hadrian (Athens)? It was built to suck up to the Emperor. It was commissioned by the government of Athens. Achaea, as a province of the empire, could be said to be a branch of the imperial government. Does that make the arch a government sponsored structure? Laurel Lodged (talk) 23:40, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment: "by instigator" sounds awful, but both it and the alternatives in the original proposal are equally unsuitable, simply because the contents of these categories refer to buildings constructed, rebuilt, or completed during the reign (or equivalent thereof) of various individuals, irrespective of their contributions. I'm not saying that this is an invalid categorization; on the contrary, it's a very logical one.  The issue is that none of the proposed titles is an accurate description of those contents.  What about "by period"—less sweeping in scope than "by era", and the contents could still consist of structures dating from the reign of individual rulers, irrespective of whether they ordered them to be built or somehow participated in the construction.  An alternative might be "by reign", although in a few cases that might be inappropriate ("by reign or period"?).  Unless I'm forgetting, categories can have some text identifying what should and shouldn't go in them.  P Aculeius (talk) 12:36, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I applaud everyone's efforts to try to figure out a way to keep this info as categories. But we're just dancing around the main issue. All these entries need explanation in regards to their relationship to said monarch. And that equals a list, not a category. See per point #2 at WP:CLN#Disadvantages of a category. - jc37 19:43, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This is about ruling monarchs. Category names should be short, which sometimes measn that there are too terse, but the solution is often not to rename, but to define better in a headnote.  BTW Arch of Hadrian (Athens) was presumably erected by the city of Athens, which was merely one city of the province and not its capital.  Whether its was instigated (or commissioned) by Hadrian or merely in honour of him is a different question.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:23, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not a different question; ot gets to the heart of this proposal. If we cannot tell if the arch was instigated (or commissioned) by Hadrian or merely in honour of him, then what is the point of this tree structure? Better to have an article list that could properly contextualise it. Laurel Lodged (talk) 08:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:17, 23 February 2023 (UTC) William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete all — check that a list or mention of each building exists in each person's article. and  have persuaded me.
 * would delete with listify be acceptable?
 * I have no objection. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:20, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree with the condition of being able to re-create the categories based on the contents of said lists. We have monarchs who are known for their building projects; for Justinian, an entire book was written to show the world what a great builder he was. It may have been exaggerated as part of imperial propaganda, but it is there, and it is a topic and categorization used by historians as well (just search for "Justinianic fortification" or "Justinianic building"). And if there is a list, then the buildings belonging to it could and should also be categorized by it. Constantine   ✍  08:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That seems like a logical way to preserve the information and provide more context, so long as persons (whether monarchs or not) associated with their building (whether by involvement or merely contemporaneous reign) link to the appropriate list or section, perhaps with a "see also" line.

 * No objection to deleting Dutugamunu as WP:SMALLCAT. I would be inclined to move up the Roman set from "in Rome" into Category:Ancient Roman buildings and structures and rename it Category:Ancient Roman buildings and structures by period; are these eras not defining for the buildings? Justinian's output is significant enough to remain categorised within Category:Byzantine architecture. Those categories all have a lead section in an article. Mehmet's category could likewise be kept in its Ottoman parent; although his article does not currently contain a separate list, the lead says "his rebuilding program… changed Constantinople into a thriving imperial capital", and there are many instances of "built"/"building" throughout the article. Maybe the only mistake here was to build a parent structure "by monarch", which is not clear, not very helpful and not needed; just delete the top one. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:42, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Buildings and structures by period already exists, and two layers down has Category:Ancient Roman buildings and structures. So the "period" is Ancient Roman. need yet another "by" suffix.
 * Noted, but "period" is flexible enough to cover both long periods and short periods. I think it would be better to re-use that word than vary it to era/ dynasty/ reign or anything else. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:31, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I still say keep (as above) -- All these (except Dutugamunu) are well populated. Possibly rename or provide an extended headnote to the effect that they are buildings from the reign of BOO, whether built by him or not.  One of the categories (?Hadrian) had a parent relating to Rome, which is incorrect for some of its content.  There should be Category:Ancient Roman buildings and structures by reign.  This is less than perfect for the Flavian dynasty (of 3 reigns), but will do.  Category:Buildings of Ancient Rome needs to be separate.  Mehmet of course belongs in an Ottoman category. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete The ambiguity in the discussion above makes me conclude that this is not objective enough for categorization and should be handled in the articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:38, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: "Instigator" is a bad choice of words here — whatever its technical definition may be, in actual real world usage it's generally understood to mean the person instigated something bad (such as a crime or a negative incident) rather than something neutral or positive like a building. I don't know if "sponsor" is the right word either, because I don't know enough about all of these buildings to know if it would be accurate, but "instigator" carries a negative connotation that isn't consistent with what happened.

 * Nominator's rationale: merge, before 1848 it is too early to start year categories in Hungary, it merely leads to a huge set of single-article categories. This is well explainable by the fact that there was no sovereign Hungarian country between 1526 until at least 1848. The Habsburgs merely kept King of Hungary as part of their infinite list of titles but it did not have any practical meaning.
 * A number of nominations, especially in the 16th and 17th century, are without a second merge target because the article is already in a Habsburg or Ottoman year category as appropriate.
 * If the categories are kept, we should discuss a more consistent naming scheme. In the 16th and 17th century the term "Kingdom of Hungary" may be used for the strip of land (mostly modern Slovakia) that was ruled by the Habsburgs rather than by the Ottomans. But not all editors agree with or understand that nuance, see e.g. Category:1635 establishments in the Kingdom of Hungary with establishments in Budapest. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:19, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 18:22, 5 March 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Keep some? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  18:26, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. To add to the discussion of a more consistent naming scheme for "Hungary", should this include or exclude the Eastern Hungarian Kingdom (1526–1551, 1556–1570; most of which was located outside current Hungary and in competition with the Kingdom of Hungary (1526–1867))? By including or excluding it, we might take a stand on whether this area may be considered "historical Hungarian territory" or not (risky territory because of nationalism), or whether the Zápolya dynasty was legitimate or not vis-à-vis the Habsburgs in "Royal Hungary". Although Category:Eastern Hungarian Kingdom is categorised as Category:16th century in Hungary, it is also in Category:1526 establishments in Europe rather than "Hungary". The "Europe" category seems like an appropriate solution that avoids this possibly WP:ARBITRARYCAT and WP:OVERCAT. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:50, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep a few; merge the rest -- There seems to be enough content to have categories for 1520s, 1660s, 1680s, and most subsequent decades. Merge all (or most) annual categories to these decade ones and the rest (as nom) to centuries.  I am never convinced of the merits of establishment categories and do not oppose merging these to centuries, as long as they are also merged to the appropriate decade (where necessary).  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge as nominated. I've only checked few, but have confidence that Marcocapelle has carefully compared the categories. Don't have dangling decades with gaps.

 * Category:Roman-era philosophers by origin or region is a redundant category layer assuming it is going to be reduced to two subcategories, but merge it to Category:Ancient Roman philosophers. If the others are renamed (no objection to that) then add the articles of Category:Roman-era philosophers in Alexandria and Category:Roman-era Rhodian philosophers to Category:Ancient Roman philosophers as well.

 * Conditional support Strong delete per the deletion of category:Socialist rulers and category:Fascist rulers, Marcocapelle, and taking WP:SUBJECTIVECAT into account, which may or may not apply to the label "Communist". Note that the template:Current Communist rulers and the Template:Socialist rulers are embedded into the categories Category:Communist rulers and Category:Socialist rulers, respectively. It is already unusual to embed templates into categories, but even weirder to define "communist rulers" as "espousing Marxism–Leninism", "socialist rulers" as "not espousing Marxism–Leninism", but still have "communist rulers" as a subcat of "socialist rulers". This leads to a logical contradiction: "rulers espousing Marxism–Leninism" are a subset of "rulers not espousing Marxism–Leninism". But maybe we are meant to understand that all communists are socialists, but only socialists which espouse Marxism–Leninism are also communists (which, to be fair, is also how I understand it, but not how Marx himself used the terms "socialism" and "communism", namely as stages in a process). I reckon this is the result of a consensus reached long ago in places such as Talk:List of socialist states, and there may be some merit to it, but it does lead to some problems in categorisation. In any case, should we decide that it does not violate WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, WP:ARBITRARYCAT, or WP:OVERLAPCAT, I propose we follow the same suggestion I have made for "Socialist rulers" and "Fascist rulers" at the CfD Rulers update 1 (proposals #18, #19, #20): Split Category:Communist rulers into Category:Communist heads of state (e.g. Hu Jintao) and Category:Communist heads of government (e.g. Wen Jiabao). It's clear that "rulers" is too ambiguous, and we best split them out into heads of state and heads of govt. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:29, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I've checked those, and they seem to cover the same ground. I've added merge to my !vote. What say you?
 * not all articles in Category:Russian fascism (1930s–1940s) are about the Russian Fascist Party. The latter was based in China, some articles are about the United States. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:26, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * not all articles in Category:Russian Fascist Party are specific to the Russian Fascist Party either. All-Russian Fascist Organisation was in the US. Various others were in Europe. But all save one article in Category:Russian fascism (1930s–1940s) is also in Category:Russian Fascist Party, so they are nearly duplicate. Therefore, I'll modified my !vote again; they should all merge into the renamed Category:Fascism in Russia.

 * Propose deleting ancient biography stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: Stub category and template recently created for just one person. As always, stub categories are not free for just anybody to create willy-nilly -- the required minimum before a stub category can be justified is 60 articles, and for that reason a stub category has to be approved by WikiProject stub sorting before it can be created. Since the one person here was Jewish, he can make do with Judaism-bio-stub, and doesn't need this if he's the only person in it. Bearcat (talk) 04:25, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

 *  Propose deleting Discussion television series set in fictional locations
 * Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure what exactly bothers me about this cat. Should it have 10,000 more articles, or none at all?  Should this be a container cat?  Is it significant that Roseanne is set in a fictional city (Category:Television series set in fictional locations) in an actual state (Category:Television shows set in Illinois)?

 * Containerize, articles directly in this category have nothing in common with each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
