 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:53, 3 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting language preservation organisations
 * Nominator's rationale: Only one category in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. The only category is a language advocacy organization. Mason (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep. This simply needs to be populated. It is obviously not the case that this can sensibly only have one entry in it. I just didn't personally do the work to find more for it.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:50, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not helpful for navigation. The criteria you're alluding to, that it has potential for growth, isn't a reason to keep a category. Mason (talk) 03:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete; although it could be put in Category:Polynesian culture and over Category:Sculptors from Hawaii and Category:Samoan sculptors, there is not a "Polynesian arts/artists" hierarchy where it could usefully help with navigation. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Fayenatic Mason (talk) 03:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am skeptical on the interest of Polynesian categories vs. Oceanian ones, unless an obvious exception is necessary. They usually end up in an uncontrolled mixture of ethnicity and geography. If this is about ethnicity, there should probably be an article about Polynesian sculpture, and Category:Sculptors from Hawaii should probably not be in it as ethnic Polynesian Native Hawaiians are a minority in Hawaii. If it is about geography, it should be called Oceanian sculptors. Place Clichy (talk) 19:11, 29 January 2024 (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: merge (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Years of the 20th century in the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic to Category:Years in the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic
 * Nominator's rationale: Following precedents e.g. Category:Years in the Soviet Union. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I think the member categories should also be renamed & redirected using "Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic" rather than "Uzbekistan", and likewise the decades within Category:Decades in the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, and Category:Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. These would then follow siblings in Category:Years in the Soviet Union for Kazakh, Moldavian and Turkmen SSRs.
 * Perhaps some others within Category:Republics of the Soviet Union such as "in Russia" and "in Azerbaijan" are not anachronistic in the same way, and therefore the chronology subcats of e.g. Category:Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic and Category:History of Ukraine (1918–1991) can be left with their short names. Discuss? – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Personally I agree with renaming the subcategories too, but I have noted that this is controversial with establishments (see e.g. recent discussion about pre-18th-century establishments in the United Kingdom). Marcocapelle (talk) 15:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Anarchists from Austria-Hungary

 * 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: keep. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:59, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting anarchists from austria-hungary
 * Nominator's rationale: Ok, now the merger has been carried out, I want to bring up deletion. I don't think this category of "Anarchists from Austria-Hungary" is a remotely defining characteristic for any of its entries, nor do I think it can be one. To go through the list: Luisa Landová-Štychová and Michael Kácha were Czech anarchists, involved in specifically Czech organisations both before and after the collapse of Austria-Hungary; Josef Peukert was from the German-speaking area of Bohemia and left Austria-Hungary to work in Germany at a young age, going on to spend the rest of his life in Britain and the United States; Hippolyte Havel probably comes the closest to having "anarchist from Austria-Hungary" as a defining characteristic, but even he spent most of his life and activist career in the United States, which he's far more known for than his origins. To conclude, I don't think being an "anarchist from Austria-Hungary" is a remotely defining enough characteristic to constitute its own category. Each of its entries are already better categorised into different categories, whether "Czech anarchists", "Austrian anarchists" or "American anarchists". Unless I'm missing some pan-Austro-Hungarian anarchist movement that existed across national lines, I don't see any reason why this category shouldn't be deleted. Grnrchst (talk) 11:41, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per comments below. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:19, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment Particularly on the question of the first two people mentioned, I guess this comes down to the fundamental question about whether categories with titles like "Czech anarchists" are defined by nationality or ethnicity. (I assume) Landová-Štychová and Kácha were ethnically Czech, but were never Czech citizens as the country didn't exist as an independent entity until the 1990s. Personally I would err on the side of defining membership of such categories as being based on nationality due to the potential for endless disputes about ethnicity (which means Landová-Štychová and Kácha should be categorised as Anarchists from Austria-Hungary and Anarchists from Czechoslovakia). Therefore leaning oppose, but this probably needs a much bigger discussion. Number   5  7  11:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Leaning towards opposition. I don't think it is appropriate to push forward ethnicity rather than nationality, especially for anarchists. I added a few other members, including Ervin Szabó for instance. Place Clichy (talk) 14:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose, while people may be categorized by ethnicity, that doesn't exclude them from categorizing by nationality. I am ok with moving people from Austro-Hungarian nationality to American nationality if the US is the country where they mainly were active as an anarchist. But that does not fundamentally change the need for Category:Anarchists from Austria-Hungary to exist. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:32, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:Roman roads in Turkey to Category:Roman roads in Asia and Category:Roman roads in Europe
 * Nominator's rationale: split, Turkey did not exist yet and it is odd to combine Roman roads in the Balkan with Roman roads in Asia Minor in one category just because Istanbul is nowadays part of Turkey. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. WP:SNOW keep, withdrawn by nominator due to concerns being addressed. (non-admin closure)  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:46, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Female child soldiers to Category:Child soldiers and Category:Female soldiers
 * Propose splitting Category:Fictional female child soldiers to Category:Fictional child soldiers and Category:Fictional female soldiers
 * Nominator's rationale: Would appear to violate WP:OCEGRS. Either parent category is defining but gender does not appear to be relevant in this intersection, nor is it necessary to split an overlarge category. If it is relevant, it would need evidence that it would support its own separate article. (In this case "split" means dual merge). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:52, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This intersection is indeed defining, these two categories are not something totally unnecessary such as "Category:Male adult soldiers". As for whether there could be an article on this subject, well you can take a look at a bunch of different potential sources. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Leaning to support dual merge, I can't imagine that girl soldiers would be a notable stand-alone topic apart from child soldiers generally. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Intersection between gender and child soldiers is defining, as evident from the existence of a large body of literature specifically about female child soldiers, or with entire chapters dedicated specifically to female child soldiers, or which otherwise clearly treat female child soldiers as a defining intersectional category distinct from merely the overlap of child soldiers and female soldiers.

 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT. All contain just one entry. I plan on some subsequent nominations to this tree, but I did not want to overload a single nomination. This tree and its parent need some massive cleanup. Side note (uninvolved in this nomination): what is cultural infrastructure? There is not even a Category:Cultural infrastructure. Seems like a very subjective intersection. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge/delete per nom. Regarding the sidenote, "cultural infrastructure" looks like a made up term. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not opposing the the nomination but Googling brings up many results for "cultural infrastructure". Not sure it's needed in category names though. MClay1 (talk) 03:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
