Category:Hindu revivalists

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: no consensus. I'm not certain that this discussion has managed to nail down exactly what a "Hingu revivalist" is. And if we're not sure what it is, how can we be positive that it's not a defining characteristic for those so categorized? I think all users have the sense at least that we need to figure this out, and User:Kautilya3's comment suggests that "Hindu revivalism" is a "thing" that has a specific meaning.

Nominator's rationale: delete since "revivalists" is not a defining characteristic of the articles of this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:18, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fair enough about the phenomenon, but that's not sufficient for categorization. People in this category should be well known for being a revivalist. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:11, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category doesn't seem that different than the WrestleMania venues categories that was deleted at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_January_29#Category:WrestleMania_venues and before that. All this is doing is listing multipurpose arenas that hosted a match without naming the particular circuit. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shia Muslim scholars of Islam

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:57, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category shouldn't be about the religious background of the scholar, but about the object of the studies. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree that the target is different. It should be different though, there is no reason why atheist or Christian scholars of Shia Islam shouldn't be categorized together with Shia Muslims. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question to @Marcocapelle: You could simply create a parent category, but are there any atheist or Christian scholars of Islam who are, in a defining way, specialists on Shia Islam? – Fayenatic London 09:00, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a fair point, definitely. I must admit I was just irritated by the fact that the category structure - as is - just simply seems to assume that all scholars of Shia Islam are Shia Muslims. I don't have any concrete evidence that in practice this is a false assumption though. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:39, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Washington

The result of the discussion was: rename. Over to you with this one, thanks, R'n'B. – Fayenatic London 21:48, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The name "Washington" is ambiguous, and other categories relating to the U.S. state have the parenthetical; for example Category:Wikipedians in Washington (state) and Category:National Register of Historic Places in Washington (state).

Nominator's rationale: No logic to this list. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 08:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems like we do, it is a child of Category:Gangs in Chicago, Illinois. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:46, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I took a second look and I agree with JPL in the sense that it doesn't seem to be a defining characteristic and so I've struck my previous vote. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:42, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bishops of India

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 to Category:Indian bishops. The current contents are still already in that category, so I will implement this as a deletion. – Fayenatic London 08:38, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: None of the bishops in this category has the title Bishop of India. Nothing is lost by deleting this category because all of these bishops are already in the tree of Category:Indian bishops. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree, but in practise it does not matter that much, because English-born bishops with a see in India are also in Category:Indian bishops. Let's first finish this merge before starting something else. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
