Hello, Aidan721,

I was wondering why you emptied most but not all of these college soccer team season categories. Did you just remove categories from Redirect pages or is this a more complicated recategorization? Thanks for any explanation you can provide. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:53, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Liz: I removed the categories from the many redirect pages. It seems some user went crazy creating a redirect for every team over the past few years. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I thought that was what you were doing when I went to look at some of the pages that were removed from these categories. The situation was even worse than you describe, the editor made a redirect for each soccer team season, especially from the years 2019-2021. They could probably all go to WP:RFD if I was more comfortable making huge bundled nominations but I'm not. Luckily the editor didn't make redirect pages for every year these college teams played in soccer competitions, just some recent seasons. As for categories, I know we have a few that only contain redirect pages (especially in the "songs by artist" categories) but I think they are generally allowed by policy. It doesn't make sense though to have a whole category tree populated only by redirect pages since categorization on redirects is done so sporadically and inconsistently.

Hope all is well with you! Have a good week. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I speedily processed the category two days ago, but ir was wrong, because it is not about Dutch diaspora, but about Dutch Caribbean. I have now moved it back. If you think splitting is needed this should be done at CFD. Thanks. Ymblanter (talk) 06:55, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Aidan. You've recently added a number of articles about criminal and/or terrorist attacks to categories covering "Disasters in Ireland". These Troubles-related events were and are already covered by appropriate terrorism, criminality and Troubles categories. The "Disasters" categories, certainly Ireland-related ones where they are caused by humans, are almost exclusively used for non-criminal events - famines, landslides, floods, etc. Can I ask you to revert these changes, please?

Hi, I appreciate the comment. Category:Terrorist incidents and Category:Attacks fall under Category:Disasters. These articles definitely belong in Category:Disasters in Ireland by year. Category:2023 disasters may be helpful to see how this category tree is structured. Thanks and let me know if there's any other ways I can help. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:40, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A category does not make an event suddenly a disaster. The Banner talk 08:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
