Various speediable Chinese dynasty categories

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: speedy rename all except without the "the" before circuit names. In the case of jiedushi, this word is almost never capitalized on Wikipedia. The disambiguations to match the article titles are clearly speediable as well. However, the definite article in front of the circuit names is not supported by any articles on Wikipedia. See for example this search for Zhangyi Circuit and this one for Zhongyi Circuit. So I'm proceeding with these in a manner that doesn't use the "the" in those cases.--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:30, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    As to all of the "Jiedushi" categories listed up to this point, I believe that they should not be decapitalized becauseJiedushi is a completely unanglicized Chinese noun that, if uncapitalized, will be mistaken for an English one. (I translate it as "military governor," which is also used by a number of scholastic sources, but, believing "military governor" to be an incomplete translation, decided to leave the category names as Jiedushi when I created the categories.) As for several other groupings below, I also have additional objections in addition to this one. --Nlu (talk) 14:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree. We don't capitalize a foreign-language word just because it is a foreign-language word. It's a common noun like any other. The article Jiedushi correctly reflects this—it does not capitalize the term. It's similar to thedaimyo of Japan. Notice that in the subcategories of Category:Daimyo the word is not capitalized, as with Category:Fudai daimyo. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:49, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    So...is that an actual objection up there (and on the ones below) or just a query? - The Bushranger One ping only 02:38, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure. They could go to a full discussion, but I think they'd probably be accepted by the community at large as routine (indeed, "speediable") changes. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:22, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, count it as an actual objection then. I do think that uncapitalizing "Jiedushi" looks jarring, if nothing else. Let's see if there's consensus on this issue. --Nlu (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    One additional objection: I think the article "the" is unnecessary and cumbersome. --Nlu (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      "Wu" itself needed a "(Ten Kingdoms)" disambiguator because there are other states named Wu in Chinese history.

        Objection. I don't think C2B is talking about the same thing. C2B is talking about making sure that thecategories are unambiguous, which they already are without adding "(Ten Kingdoms)" given what I explained above. C2B also refers to, of course, enforcing Wikipedia naming conventions, but the naming conventions do not require (and in fact, call against) referring to "Wu" as "Wu (Ten Kingdoms)" in the text. Wu is to be referred to Wu in the text as much as possible, adding the disambiguator only when necessary. (I will say that I tried to call for a move to "Southern Wu" or "Yang Wu" a while ago; I could not get consensus to do so.) --Nlu (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

        The current article title for the dynasty is Later Tang Dynasty, which I am not moving for lack of a consensus, but unlike the situation with Later Liang Dynasty and Later Jin Dynasty (Five Dynasties), for example, there is no ambiguity as to what "Later Tang" would refer to. Given that, I don't think "Dynasty" needs to be in the category titles.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlu (talk • contribs)

      By current naming convention, "D" should be capitalized. (Note that there is a current discussion on this topic, which seems to be yielding no consensus to change.) --Nlu (talk) 14:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      The article name determines what the categories are called. That is currently Later Han dynasty (Five Dynasties). If that changes, then the categories can follow. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:49, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      I'll move the article to match the other Five Dynasties articles. If there is consensus to re-uncapitalize it later, it can be moved back later. --Nlu (talk) 21:10, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      OK. Just so you know, the overall trend is to decapitalize "dynasty" in dynasty articles for non-Chinese dynasties. The Chinese ones seem to be the odd ones out in this regard. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:24, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      That is why there is an ongoing discussion in WP:NC-ZH on this. Again, there is a split in opinions, due to the issue of whether "Dynasty" is to be considered part of the proper noun or not. I wouldn't say that my own opinion (against decapitalization) is the majority (it clearly isn't) but there is also no real consensus to change. --Nlu (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus doesn't have to be unanimity. It looks to me that there is enough of a consensus there to proceed with decapitalization. Two or three editors can't stubbornly refuse to hold up the train just because they disagree. Combine the discussion with the overwhelming practice in other areas of WP for other dynasties, and I think it's a little retro not to just go forward make the change. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:24, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nominators rationale: Rename all. All of these categories for nominated for speedy renaming but were opposed by the categories' creator. I have set out the speediable grounds for each batch in the drop down box. I'll try to summarize the user's basic arguments against the changes and my responses:
  1. Decapitalizing "jiedushi (C2A)": The user argued that "they should not be decapitalized because Jiedushi is a completely unanglicized Chinese noun that, if uncapitalized, will be mistaken for an English one." Response: We don't capitalize a foreign-language word just because it is a foreign-language word. It's a common noun like any other. The article Jiedushi correctly reflects this—it does not capitalize the term. It's similar to the daimyo of Japan. Notice that in the subcategories of Category:Daimyo the word is not capitalized, as with Category:Fudai daimyo. Counter response against: user responded that "uncapitalizing 'Jiedushi' looks jarring, if nothing else". Counter-counter response in favour: I don't think aesthetics is the central issue. I still believe that this is a straightforward capitalization issue per C2D.
  2. Adding the word "the" to the circuit categories (C2A): The user argued that "the article 'the' is unnecessary and cumbersome." Response: I disagree. In English, we would say "FOO of the BARian Circuit", not "FOO of BARian Circuit". That's just the way standard English works.
  3. Matching subcategory names to parent category names, when the parent category is disambiguated (C2B): For instance, the user stated that "'Wu' itself needed a '(Ten Kingdoms)' disambiguator [in Category:Wu (Ten Kingdoms)] because there are other states named Wu in Chinese history. However, this is the only one that was in the time period in which the title of Jiedushi existed; adding '(Ten Kingdoms)' disambiguator [to Category:Wu Jiedushi] seems unnecessary to me." Response: This is a specific issue that has been debated ad nauseum—especially involving the subcategories of Category:Georgia (U.S. state), Category:Georgia (country), and Category:Victoria (Australia), and the conclusion was finally reached that C2B is to be applied across the board and a disambiguator is to be added to all categories when the parent category is disambiguated. This avoids having repeated protracted battles about when we need to disambiguate a category and when we don't need to. There's no reason for these categories to be treated any differently. The user suggested I was reading too much in to C2B, but that is how it is always applied.
I've tried to make this as short as possible. I see it as a fairly clear-cut issue on all counts that would regularly be easily resolvable by the usual procedures of the speedy category rename system. — Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Yamato line to Category:Imperial House of Japan
Then proposing upmerging Category:Japanese Imperial Family to Category:Imperial House of Japan
Nominator's rationale: Rename/upmerge. The main article for these categories is Imperial House of Japan. (As of this nomination starting, there wasn't even a redirect on Yamato line.) The second listed category is essentially a category grouping living members of the Imperial House of Japan. As a current/living category—which for bio articles are strongly discouraged—I'm suggesting that it simply be upmerged into the parent category, which I propose be renamed.

So what? Just leave it alone. Gryffindor (talk) 20:57, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So: what User:The Bushranger said is correct: I don't see how the invocation of British Royal Family is relevant, and the category referred to appears to go against standard practices for categories. Thus, the upmerge should be made; hence the nomination. It would probably be OK to have an article about the living members of the Japanese imperial family, but we don't generally categorize such topics of living groups of individuals.

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Sengoku-jidai just redirects to Sengoku period and is just the Japanese term for that period. This category is defined as housing various media that is set in this period. I'm not very "up" on how we name these categories, whether it's "media set in FOO" or similar, but it does need to be renamed somehow to indicate that it is a media or fiction category.

Propose merging Category:Expressways in Jacksonville, Florida to Category:Expressways in Duval County, Florida
Nominator's rationale: Both categories have exactly the same contents - and with good reason, as the City of Jacksonville and Duval County consolidated in 1968, with the only exceptions being four small cities, none of which have expressways not also in Jacksonville. Suggest the Jacksonville cat be a soft redirect to the county cat. The Bushranger One ping only 00:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion: Category:U.S. Highways in Miami-Dade County, Florida (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Proposed deletion: Category:U.S. Highways in Ouray County, Florida (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: WP:OC - these are the only two "U.S. Highways by county" categories that exist, and neither really provides additional information above and beyond the by-state categories. All articles already exist in the by-state categories. The Bushranger One ping only 00:02, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
