 * I share the same skepticism as Marcocapelle. Category:Athletic Club football teams and seasons seems to be a miscellaneous category of teams. What is Athletic Club football? –Aidan721 (talk) 17:29, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * is indeed weird, and the capitalization is confusing. Parent (uncapitalized) seems to indicate that this is just synonymous with sports club, in which case the former category seems to have been created with the intent of gathering clubs named Athletic Club but who have nothing in common (WP:SHAREDNAME). I suggest splitting  between / and /. Some of the Athletic Clubs in this category don't apparently have anything to do with football, e.g. . Place Clichy (talk) 02:16, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Category:Athletic Club football teams and seasons is definitely a messy category. The C in club should certainly not be capitalized. Also it's a messy grouping of articles about athletic clubs that played football and articles about specific seasons played by such clubs. Jweiss11 (talk) 17:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe Deleting with WP:TNT is an option, then, unless a good Samaritan volunteers to review the football- and non-football-related content and spread them among the possible target categories, of which I already listed 4.

 * Propose renaming Category:Medieval European scribes to Category:Medieval scribes
 * Nominator's rationale: There's no need to narrow this category to only European scribes. The sibling category, "Category:Ancient scribes" doesn't constrain themselves to a single continent. Mason (talk) 01:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * In fact Category:Ancient scribes contains only Egyptian, Greek and Near-Eastern subcats, so is "constrained" to the Mediterranean. Johnbod (talk) 18:15, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It isn't constrained, someone could still be added to the main category of Ancient scribe if they were from somewhere outside the mediterranean. But "Medieval European scribe", does not allow someone from medieval egypt to be added. Mason (talk) 02:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose They are in fact all European, & there is no harm in helping the reader by saying so. Other traditions are in the extensive tree under Category:Medieval calligraphers. Btw, the Irish ones (nearly all authors who wrote out their own books) represent about 50% of 80-odd in the category, & should have their own sub-cat. Johnbod (talk) 03:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * But is european+medieval scribe a meaningful intersection? I don't see how it helps readers to exclude non-european medieval scribes. Mason (talk) 19:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * One might drop the "medieval", as there are no "scribes" in Europe after the Renaissance, and "medieval" is not a term that works or is used for eg East Asia. Or one might drop "European" for that reason, but hoiw does that help anyone? The current category is a useful definition of a distinct tradition & function. Johnbod (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Which scribes are being excluded? I see Category:Calligraphers of the medieval Islamic world, which could possibly contain articles that would fit "Medieval scribes". Those ones, at least, seem pretty discoverable where they are. Are there others? -- asilvering (talk) 01:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  20:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Just delete, per WP:OVERLAPCAT, articles are already in a more specific branch of the tree of Category:Medieval writers or in Category:Medieval calligraphers. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:27, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Nonsense - scribes should not be in a "writers" category at all, unless they clearly did both (as authors or translators), which very many did not. I don't think you actually looked at Category:Medieval calligraphers; it consists entirely of by-century subcats, each containing only a Chinese, Japanese and Korean sub-cat. So there is no OVERLAP at all with this category! Johnbod (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not sure why writers should be limited to authors and translators. According to whom? The articles of this category just factually are in another writers subcategory, so apparently there is consensus that scribes is also a subset of writers. With respect to calligraphers, I found David Aubert in Category:Medieval European scribes but he was not yet in the Category:Medieval calligraphers tree, I added this article there just now. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And I reverted you! You didn't even put him in a century sub-cat! He was left as the only entry outside one, and the only European in that whole tree. What RS do you have that call him a calligrapher? It is not a term used of Medieval European scribes, hence the diffferent categories. The aim of medieval scribing was to produce a clear and accurate text in a variety of very tightly-defined scripts; once printed type could do this more reliably the scribing industry mostly vanished at the top end, just leaving scriveners for legal work etc. This is very different from other cultures where artistic calligraphy was and is pursued. It is clear from the cats above that the "writers" tree is for authors, to which the many translators can be added - Aubert was a translator and adapter of texts, so he is rightly there. Johnbod (talk) 19:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. Speaking as a topic expert here, I find little to disagree with in Johnbod's comments. Scribes are not necessarily calligraphers, and they are certainly not usefully categorized as "writers". We could change the category to "Medieval scribes" broadly; this is how many works in the field describe them. But these works omit "European" typically because it is assumed, not because they mean to include scribes who were not European. We could use the term most often used in palaeography ("Latin"), but I believe this will be unhelpfully confusing to the typical Wikipedia user. -- asilvering (talk) 01:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Why relist this? There are no supports at all, apart from the nom, and he seems less sure of his case now. Johnbod (talk) 04:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * when I wrote "I am not sure" I said I was not sure about your response. And you haven't answered my question why scribes need to be excluded from writers. "It is clear from the cats above that the "writers" tree is for authors," -> No that is not clear, in fact categories above have nothing to do with the question. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean you - you are not the nom and not supporting the proposal anyway. Authoring and copying are two very different activities - you might as well categorize scriveners and court reporters as judges. I have explained why your suggestion to delete (also with no other support) is based on more than one misunderstanding. Imo too many discussions are being rolled-over ad infinitum.asilvering, are you actually a "Keep"? Johnbod (talk) 14:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: French Quebecers constitute the vast majority of Quebec residents and have since the first settlers arrived in the 17th-century. As such, this category fails WP:EGRS. Moreover, most of those in this category have no claim to French ancestry in their biography and have been placed in it without evidence, making it a major problem for WP:BLPCAT.

 * Comment French Quebecers are Quebecers who are not Quebecois, but originate more recently from France, thus are not ethnic Quebecois. It should be so scoped, and cleared of pure-laine, de-souche, who are desceneded from the pre-British conquest with roots in Quebec prior to 1760. Any person descended from France that arrived after 1760 would appear in this category, those who have roots older that this would be removed -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 07:51, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * This whole tree is problematic. This is the (incorrect, IMO) description of Category:Quebecers of French descent: "This category lists Quebecers of French descent who are not francophone or whose first language is unclear. For Quebecers who known to be francophone see Category:French Quebecers."--User:Namiba 14:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. It is useless to categorize members of the dominant ethnicity in a place. The difference cited above for recent arrivals from France is reflected by Category:French emigrants to Quebec. Place Clichy (talk) 14:19, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's not the same, since it doesn't include the descendants of the immigrants to Quebec that would be in that indicated category -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 19:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I just don't get this comment. Note that redirects to disambiguation page Québécois. So either term can refer to, depending on context, any of the following:
 * all people of all Québec
 * people of Québec City
 * the dominant ethnic group associated with descent from the early French settlers
 * 20th- or 21st-century moves from France
 * descendants of the former
 * The IP wrote above that French Quebecers are Quebecers who are not Quebecois, but originate more recently from France, thus are not ethnic Quebecois. This contradicts the current 3,500+ articles in the category, which are mostly Québécois people with no recent link to immigration from France. Descendants of recent migrants from France who were born and grew up in Québec are not distinguishable from the Québec majority.
 * There's no logic to any of it, and as a result people from that group are scattered inconsistently between several categories. Québec people clearly would benefit more from other categorization schemes such as or  that this pseudo-ethnic category. Place Clichy (talk) 14:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  17:49, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose as Sears and Sears Holdings are not the same thing. Sears is a chain of retail stores (+catalogs +e-commerce), as is/was Kmart. Sears Holdings was a corporate structure that held the two chains. Sears stores are now mostly operated by either Grupo Sanborns (90+ stores in Mexico), Transformco (US) and Sears de Guatemala. Kmart stores are now entirely under Transformco. We need to distinguish between Sears as a brand and chain, which should hold most of the content, versus Sears Holdings, which should be limited to holding Sears, Kmart, and any holding company-related articles. Keizers (talk) 14:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok... so how would you feel about renaming Category:Sears to Category:Sears (brand) to help make that distinction clearer? I also think that a concise description in the category page would be extremely helpful. Mason (talk) 23:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not crazy about it, because really, it's about the Sears stores and catalog, not so much the brand (I mean, I understand that it's a brand that is franchised to Transformco, Grupo Sanborns and Homemart, S.A. for Guatemala), but people might understand to be consumer brands like Kenmore, Craftsman, etc. Maybe Sears (department store)? Keizers (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sears (department store) sounds like a good suggestion to me. Then the categories would be more clearly distinguished, and that should help make it clear that the categories are distinct. Mason (talk) 17:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Merge and delete instead. Several recent CfDs have reached the consensus that these interleaving “by identity”, “by gender identity”, or “by sexual orientation” category layers are unhelpful, and we have been in the process of getting rid of them. It is much simpler and clearer to have all the LGBTQ+ identity subcategories directly in the parent category, grouped under a sort key.

 * Sense is absolutely a valid reason to oppose. Each of these coaches also coached other teams as well, so they'd be listed in the container cat randomly with like ten others while being one of 10,000 others in subcats. It simply makes no sense.

 * The West Indies has serious colonial undertones, and is derived from the misconception that these were islands off the coast of India. It isn't a neutral descriptive. Per British West Indies's lead paragraph: "Before the decolonisation period in the later 1950s and 1960s, 'British West Indies' was regularly used to include all British colonies in the region as part of the British Empire. Following the independence of most of the territories from the United Kingdom, the term Commonwealth Caribbean is now used." Mason (talk) 02:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: WP:OCYEAR: avoid creating a category tree of individual by year categories with very few members, So for example, instead of grouping by year, group by decade. And then diffuse the by decade categories by year only when necessary. This tree doesn't need to be diffused by year for the nominated categories.

 * Oppose. Night clubs are very much a feature of city life, probably more so that most other topics, and more so than national culture. So if there are a handful of articles for which we should avoid the troublesome, unofficial and contemptuous moniker of [Republic of] Ireland, it should be these ones. is a coherent tree, well-established, defining for nightclubs, and the present nomination would remove valid content from that category.

 * Upmerge for now. I don't really understand Place Clichy's argument, categories are to help navigation, this category isn't large enough to help navigation. It doesn't really matter that Nightclubs by city is a coherent tree. Mason (talk) 01:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The argument is that these categories, and the articles in them, won't be any more in under the proposal, and that doesn't help navigation IMHO. Place Clichy (talk) 09:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * But Category:Nightclubs by city consists of large enough cities anyway, not every city. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:03, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
