 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:History by topic. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:01, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Topical history overviews to Category:Fields of history
 * Nominator's rationale: What makes something a topical overview? This category doesn't have clear boundaries. Relevant recent CFD: Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_February_22 Mason (talk) 00:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Category:Neural circuits

 * 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: rename to Category:Neural circuitry. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Neural circuits to Category:Neural network (biology)
 * Nominator's rationale: The pages related to computational and biological neural networks have recently been rearranged to clarify the terminology. The articles now use "neural network" and "neural circuit" to mean two different things, and there is now a page for Neural network (biology).  Since this category is a subcategory of "Neural network" and contains pages like Cultured neuronal network and Large-scale brain network, it seems logical that its main article should be Neural network (biology) and not Neural circuit. Justin Kunimune (talk) 14:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 23:32, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose This (Category:Neural circuits) is the proper name that cover, linear Nerve fibers (Quote: "...Axons are the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they form nerves...") - and to some extent (networked) Neural network (biology). Neural network (biology) ought to be moved to Neural network. Neural network ought to be moved to e.g. Neural network (all) - or the content should to be dispersed into Neural network and Artificial neural network. --Glenn (talk) 16:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't have the expertise to weigh in on which of "neural network" or "neural circuit" is the more general term, but I want to ensure that Neural network (biology) can be included in this category, and not (as it currently is) in the supercategory Category:Neural networks, which requires diffusion. According to an editor on Talk:Neural network (biology), the name "Neural circuits" excludes neural networks.  Would the name Category:Neural circuitry be more appropriate? Justin Kunimune (talk) 23:27, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Oppose, as written above, but I might support some other category rename. I'm the editor who pointed out at Talk:Neural network (biology) that there are usually multiple neural circuits within a single neural network, so I agree in part that the current category name does not match perfectly with all the pages in the category. The proposed new category name is too kludgy for a good category name, but it also would not match perfectly with all the pages in the category, which include pages about physiology (oscillations), plasticity, types of neurons, and theories about the nervous system, as well as specific circuits and networks. Assuming that a massive project of recategorization of multiple pages across multiple new categories would be more trouble than it's worth, I think a good alternative would be to rename → Category:Neural circuitry. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment In that case I think Category:Neural circuitry is the way to go. I don't usually use CfD so I'm not sure how this works; do we need to close and reopen this as a Category:Neural circuits → Category:Neural circuitry discussion? Justin Kunimune (talk) 12:51, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think we can just leave this open, and see whether other editors give opinions. The closer will be able to assess the consensus, given what you have now said, as the nominator. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * For clarity: I'm now saying Rename → Category:Neural circuitry. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Category:Deaths from sequels of suicide attempt

 * 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 (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  13:04, 16 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting deaths from sequels of suicide attempt
 * Nominator's rationale: The category name is non-intuitive (what are sequels of suicide attempt?) and the inclusion criteria, not being stated on the cat page, are therefore unclear. The category has no sensible parents; it has only one member other than itself. Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:27, 8 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, per nom. Perhaps a "sequel" is where the person survives the suicide in the short term, but dies later, but such categorization is not useful, especially for a single entry. (The category page also, strangely, lists the same category as a subcategory of itself, because the category page was put into its own category.) --Tryptofish (talk) 00:14, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:Wooden sculptures in Bohemia to Category:Wooden sculptures in Germany and Category:Wooden sculptures in the Czech Republic
 * Nominator's rationale: There's no category tree for Art in Bohemia Mason (talk) 22:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Just rename to Category:Wooden sculptures in the Czech Republic or else keep. Merging to Germany does not make sense, then it should be to the Holy Roman Empire instead (but that category does not exist). Marcocapelle (talk) 08:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Wooden sculptures in the Czech Republic or keep. There are 19 sub-cats in Category:Wooden sculptures by country. If any find themselves now in Germany, move them. Johnbod (talk) 14:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep Category:Catholic people executed by the Soviet Union, Category:Jews executed by the Soviet Union, and Category:Jews executed by Nazi Germany; no consensus on Category:Eastern Orthodox people executed by the Soviet Union (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 19:28, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Catholic people executed by the Soviet Union to Category:People executed by the Soviet Union

 * Propose merging Category:Jews executed by the Soviet Union to Category:People executed by the Soviet Union
 * Propose merging Category:Jews executed by Nazi Germany to Category:People executed by Nazi Germany
 * Nominator's rationale: This seems to run afoul of egrs at the intersection of religion/ethnicity+manner of death + government regime. It isn't necessarily that the category members were executed because of their religion. Mason (talk) 04:39, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose the 1st, 3rd and 4th because it would remove the articles from a broader topic tree, Category:Anti-Catholicism in the Soviet Union, Category:Antisemitism in the Soviet Union and Category:The Holocaust respectively. Even the second category may be kept as part of Category:Anti-religious campaign in the Soviet Union although I would rather purge members of the imperial family.  Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * But, should the articles be in that tree in the first place? Mason (talk) 20:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * They exemplify the persecutions. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm, ok. I'm not sure that really fits with my understanding of how categories work. That sounds more like the purpose of a list, rather than a means to help navigation. But, that's a different perspective, that I will think about. Mason (talk) 03:36, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Dual merge. This is a redudant layer with People executed by Germany by lethal injection, and an unhelpfully narrow category. Mason (talk) 04:35, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I would rather have parent Category:People executed by Germany by lethal injection upmerged or deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd be open to an even higher upmerge. I've updated the nom. .Mason (talk) 03:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This is different than I meant because I would not merge Category:People executed by Nazi Germany by lethal injection at all. It is a valid subcategory of Category:People executed by Nazi Germany by method and it is not underpopulated. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

 * So effectively, just delete Category:People executed by Germany by lethal injection? I'm fine with that Mason (talk) 01:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, merge that one to Category:People executed by lethal injection. I will tag Category:People executed by Germany by lethal injection too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep, seems a fair Keep has been defined by discussion participants, as well as within the WP:SHADOWOFKEEP Randy Kryn (talk) 13:04, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge. Navigation between what? The two articles can be connected via links, which is much more sutiable when there are only two members. Futhermore a this is a unnecessary layer with only one member - upmerging will just take away that redundant layer. Categorisation for categorisation's sake is useless; our goal is to first and foremost serve the readers.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. There was a consensus to merge the last three categories into Category:African-American women academics. There was a consensus to merge the first two also, moving articles to either Category:African-American women academics or Category:African-American women writers as appropriate depending on their circumstances.

 * Propose merging Category:African-American women historians to Category:African-American women academics
 * Propose merging Category:African-American women folklorists to Category:African-American women academics
 * Propose merging Category:African-American women legal scholars to Category:African-American women academics
 * Propose merging Category:African-American women musicologists to Category:African-American women academics

 * Nominator's rationale: Triple merge, non-defining triple intersection, WP:NARROWCAT. Being an african american woman academic is defining, but I don't think diffusion by type of academic is needed yet. The contents of each category have already been added to their non-diffusing parent category for American women FOO and African American-Foo. Mason (talk) 05:01, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as previously discussed, African-American women have been uniquely kept out of each of these professions through discrimination at universities. Sources treat them not as academics but by their profession, see Black Women Have Written History for over a Century JSTOR daily and The Pain and Promise of Black Women in Philosophy New York Times. Notable organizations of Black women philosophers exist, see Collegium of Black Women Philosophers. They do not organize nor are they treated as simply academics.--User:Namiba 14:15, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. Each of these "professions"(historian, mathematician, etc) are specializations within academia, hence academics. The mechanism is the same: "discrimination at universities". I don't understand what you mean by "They do not organize nor are they treated as simply academics" because your mechanism seems to be the same for all academics. For me the basic test is the following: Is there something unique at the intersection of being a black woman that is specific to their occupation versus the broader parent occupation? Has that intersection been discussed at all in the literature, making the case that this is unique to occupation, rather than merely an example of the broader problem? For example, black women receive lower teaching evaluations in college classrooms (than white women AND black men, if I'm recalling the paper correctly), that's something that effects all black women academics, regardless of the specialization. My impression from the academic literature is that the field isn't at the point of looking at specialization specific mechanisms for history versus philosophy. (FWIW, I did not nominate Black women mathematicians, because there's literature on the the intersection, including about mathematics beliefs, building a math specific pipeline etc. ) I look forward to the day that we can support categories at this intersection. (Also, even though I am nomination the category for merging. I really really appreciate that Nambia is pushing back.) Mason (talk) 20:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you explaining your point of view but I think you are misinterpreting the guideline. WP:EGRS tells us don't create a category unless the "characteristics are relevant to that topic", which I think we would all agree being an African-American woman is relevant to having one of these specializations. The numerous sources which discuss the intersection in detail certainly do. They do not treat all African-American women academics the same. The American Philosophical Association, for example, has a special report on Black women philosophers.. EGRS also says "people should only be so categorized if this has significant bearing on their career." Being a member of a professional association of historians, philosophers etc, certain indicates that it has a significant bearing on their career. EGRS also states that intersections should be created if there is a "specific cultural context for the grouping" beyond mere existence. Well, as I said, if their professional associations are talking about the intersection, then that is obvious. Lastly, and most importantly, EGRS says "At all times, the bottom line remains can a valid, encyclopedic main article be written for this grouping?" So, as I showed with Black women in American law, a preponderance of sources means that "a valid, encyclopedic main article" can be written for such a group. When you looked up whether such sources exist for the above nominations, I am sure you saw that said sources discuss the intersection in great detail and that a valid main article can easily be written. This is encyclopedia and the existence of sources should dictate our behavior. Trying to reduce the visibility of African American women in professions and/or specializations from which they have been systematically excluded despite the preponderance of existing sources is an example of Wikipedia's systematic bias in action.--User:Namiba 00:54, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, so first --I disagree with your characterization in your final sentence. I am carefully looking at the literature, and intentionally evaluating it. You may not agree with how I am evaluating the sources, but I am not excluding them. I am reading them and placing them in the context of the literature. Regardless, what I am focusing on is this aspect of EGRS: "such categories should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a defining topic that has already been established in sources as academically or culturally significant in its own right." For me, the question is whether the topic is academically significant. You seem to stop at the question of whether there are sources. If that were the benchmark, I'd agree with you, but I think that the bar is higher than the mere existence of sources.  Mason (talk) 03:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Something is "academically significant" when scholars publish about it. That's the definition of academically significant. If scholars have no interest in an intersection, then it would be deemed academically insignifcant. However, obviously, scholars find the intersection significant because they frequently write about it. Scholars do not write about insignificant topics (usually).--User:Namiba 15:13, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Your parenthetical gave me a good chuckle :) Mason (talk) 00:33, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose Neither historians, nor folklorists are necessarily academics. Both professions have centuries of history independent of academia. Dimadick (talk) 08:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Dimadick Do you have suggestions for alternative merges targets instead? Mason (talk) 00:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes I suggest merging into Category:African-American women writers and its subcategories. Dimadick (talk) 00:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think that's a fine merge target. Probably be safest to manually merge. Mason (talk) 21:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Mythological monsters to Category:Monsters
 * Nominator's rationale: These two categories just have a little too much overlap right now, and both of them essentially cover the same scope of "demonic/evil/monstrous/scary creatures in folklore/legends/mythology". I personally think that the "Mythological monsters" subcategory is rather rendundant to the main "Monsters" supercategory. AHI-3000 (talk) 22:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

 * This proposal would remove the content from the tree of Category:Mythological creatures, so it is not that obvious. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Then we could just make Category:Monsters a subcategory of Category:Mythological creatures, that would be no big deal. AHI-3000 (talk) 07:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Not quite because Category:Monsters also contains Category:Monsters in fiction and Category:Fictional monsters which are meant to contain non-mythological monsters. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Aside from that, Category:Monsters is otherwise filled with a bunch of subcategories and articles about various mythical monsters. AHI-3000 (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The subcategories are equally a mix of mythological and fictional monsters, e.g. Category:Demons in popular culture. It would not surprise me if the overall distribution is 50/50. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The subcategories for various monsters in fiction and pop culture are already contained under Category:Fiction about monsters, not directly in Category:Monsters. AHI-3000 (talk) 19:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Not directly indeed, but that is a bit confusing anyway. But to come to the point, in your proposal this category tree which consists for 50% (?) of articles about fictional monsters would be put in its entirety under mythology. I do not think that this helpful. Only the articles about mythological monsters (in contrast to articles about fictional monsters) should be in the mythology tree. It would be more helpful to create e.g. Category:Demons in mythology in order to make a clearer split. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose This would be reverting the consensus established in Categories for discussion/Log/2018 March 25 where it was split into mythological and fictional. The fact is that monsters in mythology is a separately notable concept that could probably support a broad-concept article, with one example of significant coverage being here. I don't think they have obvious prominence over fictional monsters either that would necessitate fiction being a subcategory while mythology isn't. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:27, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The issue is that there's little de-facto difference between Category:Monsters and Category:Mythological monsters right now, both categories cover monstrous creatures from myths, legends, and folktales. AHI-3000 (talk) 10:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Probably alt merge, rather to e.g. Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1547, as libraries are (mostly) buildings by themselves. Or triple merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with alt merge or triple merge. It might even be case by case. My only worry with the alt merge is that it's not exactly clear than new buildings were constructed for these libraries always. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:20, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:Jewish Romanian writers banned by the Antonescu regime to Category:20th-century Romanian Jews and Category:Jewish Romanian writers
 * Nominator's rationale: I don't think that this category is defining at the intersection of ethnicity+nationality+occupation+specific regime+ banning Mason (talk) 20:02, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The Ion Antonescu regime published several lists of authors who were banned as Jews. How is this not historically relevant and not defining? Dahn (talk) 20:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that this isn't an important or historical topic, but I don't think it's defining for the individuals in the wikipedia sense. Are these people often described in the opening paragraph as writers banned by the Antonescu regime? Mason (talk) 03:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware that the definition of "defining characteristic" now covers only things mentioned in the opening paragraph. Most opening paragraphs don't mention what town X and Y were born in; would we then move to delete native town categories based on that rationale? Not to mention that the fact is indeed mentioned by article leads, in those cases where the editing stage has reached that far: A. L. Zissu, Barbu Lăzăreanu, Sergiu Dan, Felix Aderca, all mention it in the opening paragraph; Emil Dorian is two-paragraphs long in all, and you can see the fact clearly mentioned in the second paragraph. How this is even a controversial issue is beyond me. Dahn (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Dual merge, not a defining characteristic. Some articles do not even bother to mention it. No objection to creating a list with good references. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It is misleading to say that they don't bother to mention -- some just aren't developed enough. Will you be creating the list to cover the info lost with the deletion? Dahn (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, do note that good references are provided in the articles (not all of them -- some are undersourced) and on the category page. Dahn (talk) 08:04, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose (creator's vote) There is absolutely no point to this nom. These writers were specifically banned as Jewish by a (quasi-)fascist regime, under a specific legal definition, and forming a special type of antisemitic persecution during the Holocaust. If this isn't a defining characteristic, what is? Dahn (talk) 16:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose — I think Dahn mostly said it, but these writers form a discrete group, covered as such by reliable sources and extensively commented upon by historians, critics and biographers — eminently defining. — Biruitorul Talk 23:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose I do believe it's a notable and defining topic, considering there's 40 such writers . If we were talking about 4 instead, then maybe I'd be supporting this proposal. Super   Ψ   Dro  10:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Dual merge per nom. I agree that this can be made into a list. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Between the elimination of categories and the creation of a list (by whom? "can be made" does not mean "will be made"), the info will be lost and irretrievable. In addition, removing the categories also destroys the existing link, through the category tree, between these banned writers and Category:Romanian people of World War II, leaving some articles entirely out of that relevant tree. Same for the Category:The Holocaust in Romania and Category:Censorship in Romania, of which this category is a subcat (and, once removed as a subcat, the articles lose all connection to the two trees -- the writers will no longer appear as near-victims of the near-Holocaust, losing their connection to a very delicate topic, and their status as being censored by a particular Romanian totalitarian regimes, of the several ones which came in succession, will likewise remain untethered). Is anyone even concerned about that aspect of the categorizing work? Dahn (talk) 08:32, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I !voted to keep the category, but I want to clear up a misconception. Listification is processed at WP:CFDWM: if there is consensus to make a list, the category would continue to exist until a list is ready to replace it.<span id="HouseBlaster:1710704356476:WikipediaFTTCLNCategories_for_discussion/Log/2024_March_8" class="FTTCmt"> <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 19:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Film festivals about African cinema. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  12:54, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:African film festivals to Category:UNKNOWN
 * Nominator's rationale: Ambiguity issue. This does have a usage note indicating what makes it different from — that one's for film festivals that are taking place in Africa geographically, while this one's for film festivals about African and/or African-diasporic cinema taking place anywhere in the world — but as we know, usage notes aren't always effective at solving ambiguity issues because people don't always go to the categories to read them, and an editor associated with the AfroCreatives WikiProject has raised a request to merge it into the in-Africa category at WikiProject Film on the grounds of the very confusion the usage note was trying to prevent. I've already responded as to why the categories won't and shouldn't be merged, but we should probably still consider a more precise and less ambiguous name here to eliminate any future confusion.

 * Propose deleting henry purcell
 * Nominator's rationale: Only one page and a category of people who studied this composer. Unhelpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 01:55, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep – that's because Category:Compositions by Henry Purcell was in Purcell Scholars rather than Purcell (probably my fault). I've now moved it to the main Purcell category. I've also created Category:Family of Henry Purcell for the main Purcell category –  Aza24  (talk)   02:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Aza24 Johnbod (talk) 04:02, 8 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep, apparently the nomination is moot by now. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
