Category:Dental disorders

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:diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws. – Fayenatic London 16:43, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This field was split between 3 categories, namely this , category:Oral pathology and category:diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws. I am moving all pages into one category. This leaves this category redundant. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If, for example, Enamel spindles is a dental disorder then you should not have removed the Category:Dental disorders tag from it. Which is the "one category" you refer to in the nomination - Category:Acquired tooth pathology ? You should not have removed (all) the parent categories from Category:Dental disorders. Please explain what you have been doing and why so that we can decide whether the changes you have been making (which are not explained in edit summaries) should be reversed. DexDor (talk) 05:39, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why was this emptied out of process? Without some idea of what was in the category we can't determine what the appropriate action on this category should be. I suspect it should have been merged into one of the others. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:43, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
DexDor, Beeswaxcandle. There was no sense in splitting things (on the basis of no logic that I could see) over three categories. It was a big mess, which I am still in process of sorting. All contents has been moved to Category:disorders of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws (or subcategories therein, e.g. acquired tooth pathology). Hope this makes sense. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 07:16, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- as out-of-process. Revert all moved pages and consider re-proposing in the correct way after this CFD closes. tahc chat 21:05, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tahc out of process...? Matthew Ferguson (talk) 01:33, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Matthew Ferguson 57: Question? tahc chat 02:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to favor one category, but I also can't evaluate a merge request when I can't see the original structure. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:44, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fayenatic london this is not how things were before, but nvr mind. The main parent category for this topic was disorders of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws, which corresponds to the ICD heading and is the one we should keep imo. Dental disorders was a subcategory of it, as was oral pathology. Pls also note category:mouth disease was also existant but has been deleted. All of these are redundant. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 10:00, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have moved it to be a sub-cat. Please note that a lot of the interwiki links will be lost if this category is just deleted, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7458882. I will move some of those links to category:oral pathology. – Fayenatic London 12:37, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I moved the remaining interwiki links for "dental disorders" to the new Category:Tooth pathology. That has resolved the interwiki problem. – Fayenatic London 21:32, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification of what is proposed[edit]
  1. Category:Diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws -- make this the main parent category for this topic. This is inline with the overall structure of these medical categories which follow the headings of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10); (see here: ICD-10 Chapter XI: Diseases of the digestive system). I haven't done any delving into the history of all this mess to find out how this situation resulted, however I believe it is due to a lack of insight into this bigger picture and dental writers creating several overlapping categories of similar, if not identical scope.
  2. Category:Dental disorders -- to delete since it is redundant. I have already emptied out all the contained pages into the above category (or rather into subcategories of the above category)
  3. Category:Oral pathology -- to move all these pages into "Category:Diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws", since it is a redundant category with identical scope. I have already been doing this but will stop until consensus reached since it seems to be creating confusion. I suppose this proposal is then a merge
  4. Category:Mouth diseases -- already emptied into subcategories of "Category:Diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws", and then deleted by an admin.

I hope this clarifies the situation. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 13:11, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I see that category:mouth diseases was deleted per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_13#Category:Mouth_diseases, having been emptied out of process. It would have been better to propose a split to the categories to where the former contents have been moved. That would have been traceable, unlike the current record of deleting an empty category.
What I suggest you should have done was to add the new sibling/sub-categories, re-categorise articles into the more specific categories, and then proposed a rename of Category:Dental disorders to Category:Tooth pathology – which you just created in its place.
You have also now suggested a merger of category:Oral pathology. Please tag that page as well, and link it to this discussion. – Fayenatic London 21:39, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tagged oral pathology. Didn't occur to just rename dental disorders since contents were of wider scope than "tooth pathology", and instead duplicated content of parent category diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws (as does cat:Oral pathology).

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:43, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per suggestion at a previous rename proposal, I have dispersed the child categories to their appropriate "by century" parent. This just left 4 stubs, none of which was a denomination so ought not to have been in this category in the first place; I have dispersed them to Category:Heresy in Christianity. There is no need for this category. No other "by century" denomination has a sub-grouping by period. There is no need for this exception. Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:07, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are (in effect) making the exact same proposal as the CFD that just closed-- and that result of the discussion was to KEEP.
Futhermore you tried remove all the contents of Category:Ancient Christian denominations in a effort to make the it seem empty for this CFD.
Short of a good reason to reconsider, this should be speedly closed. tahc chat 22:54, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Firstly the "Keep" was for the name change. So this proposal does not interfere with that. The name is kept. Secondly, there actually was a consensus (from @Marcocapelle: and others) to disperse and delete. Having dispersed, the category no longer serves a function, hence this proposal. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:44, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Keep" = do not rename, no consensus for deletion. The suggestion "I'd say withdraw and after closure come up with a new nomination to delete" on the previous debate makes sense and I don't mind this debate taking place as long as the question is only delete or not. MER-C 03:59, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your clarification. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You can claim that it was just a name-change but since you proposed a change to a what already exsisted under another name, but it was (for all real purposes) a delete CFD.
What it comes down to is that editors had every chance to agree with the propsal and "merge" into the actual sub-cats of Category:Ancient Christian denominations and only one of these editors (User:Peterkingiron, and it was unclear) seemed to like your idea. tahc chat 21:17, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Given the variety of viewpoints in the last nomination, I think a consensus with this one is very likely. That being said, I don't share some other editors procedural concerns. RevelationDirect (talk) 00:48, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or the "period" category could simply be added as a parent to this and the "century" category. – Fayenatic London 13:26, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've seen tree structures like that before, but actually I think that's just an unnecessary amount of branches. It should be sufficient to have 'by period' on top, split that by the largest possible type of period (ancient, medieval), then split by smaller periods (xth century).

Ancient disestablishments

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 per revised nomination, which is to: disestablishments by century and continent, disestablishments by millennium and country, states and territories disestablished by century, and years (by country). Although there has been little participation, I think this is probably due to lack of interest, and therefore there is sufficient consensus to close the discussion, especially as it is part of a longer series of related nominations. – Fayenatic London 22:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge and delete per WP:SMALLCAT, nearly always only one article per category. After merging year categories to global century categories and country millennium categories, there will be 5-10 articles in most of the global century categories and at least three articles in the each of the country millennium categories (of the 'bigger' countries). So the amount of content of this tree is very modest, while the number of categories in the current set-up is really enormous and largely redundant (the ratio between number of categories and number of articles is about 4:1). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:00, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This type of upmerge doesn't sound like a really good idea, it would mean distributing some 50 articles among 21 new categories (3 continents x 7 centuries), which can only lead to again many minuscule categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:52, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's because we have a vast, vast underpopulation of these categories. WP:SMALLCAT allows for small categories that are part of "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" which does exist. There's barely 50 articles after I've been adding because few of the articles in ancient China/Korea (Template:History_of_China, Template:History_of_Korea) have the proper establishments and disestablishment categories. We don't have a significant history of ancient India, Vietnam, Egypt the Middle East or most of Europe with the proper categories (including the sub-nation states and territories). There's about 40 articles in the pre-1 AD centuries for Category:States and territories by year of disestablishment alone and few of those have establishments/disestablishment categories. I note that you only consider 21 categories (not all new) in 3 continents because you are missing all of North and South America. Unless you believe that nothing existed in the Americas prior to 1 AD, there's a significant amount of articles that aren't included. Articles such as 1st millennium BC show that there is a large broad amount of information that is there but just isn't categorized, which is a different problem. There's no logical reason to delete every category prior to 1 AD rather than to at least allow some level of broad (I'd say century by continent are pretty broad enough to describe the world then) categorization. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:17, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair enough, let's give it a try. I've adapted the nomination accordingly and I guess you're already busy populating the categories, right? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:03, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. It's a lot of pretty obscure historical stuff but I think it's better to categorize it now than to not. It's interesting how many happened around the same time at various places worldwide. Maybe we need an RFC to get a consistent millennium/century/decade/year structure for all the establishments/disestablishments/births/deaths/buildings/states categories. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:47, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Fayenatic london: I didn't intend so because the entire Category:1st-millennium BC disestablishments in Spain, etc, would remain very small for these particular countries, so in the bottom of the list I proposed to delete these as intermediate categories as well. Especially with Tunisia it seems rather obvious to do so, since the next disestablishment after the 146 BC disestablishment is as late as in 1935 AD. However if you feel really bad about deleting these millennium country disestablishment categories, I'm happy to go along with you and will adapt the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:50, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Marcocapelle: Sorry for overlooking this reply until now. I think it would be meaningless to put articles directly into categories such as Category:Disestablishments in Spain without any intermediate sub-cats by time frame. Unless I've forgotten any recent precedents at CfD against millennium-by-country categories for (dis)establishments, I suggest that it would be more coherent to use those (4 of which you have nominated here for deletion). – Fayenatic London 08:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair enough! I've adapted the nomination accordingly. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:10, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All the similar categories like Category:Television actors from Liaoning etc. have been emptied out per similar discussions at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_April_30#Category:Male_film_actors_from_Shanghai and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_January_31#Category:Film_actresses_from_Shanghai which established that Chinese actors should not be subcategorized by medium on the province level. Now this user keeps putting this 1 actor in the category to prevent its deletion, I'm not sure to what purpose.Timmyshin (talk) 06:00, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the 21st-century, Chinese-language films/TV series are in many occasions dubbed, this is particularly true with costume drama series produced in mainland China, but in Hong Kong, Asia Television has also had many series starring mainland or Taiwanese actors who can't speak a word of Cantonese. In other words, some actors speak only Mandarin and some only Cantonese, but in post-processing the show dubbed to both language versions. In many cases you can't figure out whether the original language is supposed to be Mandarin or Cantonese because the dialogues during filming is roughly 1/2 and 1/2. In Taiwan, some of the Hokkien-language dramas also used Hong Kong actors who can't speak a word of Hokkien. In fact, Japanese, Thai and especially Korean actors have appeared in many Chinese-language TV series in recent years "speaking Chinese". You also have to consider that some of the HK series about Chinese history were never shown in HK but only in SE Asia, dubbed in Vietnamese etc., and some of the mainland series about Chinese history were only shown in dubbed languages like Japanese, e.g. Cao Cao (TV series). In short, this category is not very useful.) Timmyshin (talk) 13:16, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Listing for full discussion now. The main category is Kingdom of Italy and none of the others at Kingdom of Italy (disambiguation) have their own categories. The main Kingdom of Italy refers to the state prior to the current modern Italy. In contrast, we can leave the parentheticals for Kingdom of Italy (Holy Roman Empire) (a state within the HRE) and Kingdom of Italy (Napoleonic) (a French client state) since they both refer to minor client states within other larger states. Further, the others are the disambig page seem to be better titled Kingdom of Odoacer (for the 476-493 redirect at the moment), Ostrogothic Kingdom and Kingdom of the Lombards leaving Kingdom of Italy titled for the Kingdom representing all of Italy just prior to the current state.

Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:NON-DEFINING. I've seen most of the films in the category so far, and what is being grouped here, it seems, is any film in which a character loses someone and grieves. We do already have Category:Films about death, which I believe may be sufficient. Grief is such a basic human response to great loss: death or otherwise. I just don't think it's a good basis for an "about" category, though. We do not have "about" film categories for other emotions, I believe. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:29, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Nomadic ethnic groups in Modern Europe, without prejudice to further renaming as part of a group nomination. (The link given by Marcocapelle below does currently seem to justify using "ethnic".) – Fayenatic London 17:10, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:European gypsies to Category:Modern European nomads
Nominator's rationale: Consistent with parent categories; not all nomadic ethnic groups self-identify as "Gypsy". --100.32.136.225 (talk) 01:03, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's an improvement for sure, as it includes "ethnic" in the name. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:03, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've just double-checked the contents of the category and it seems to contain more than just "ethnic" groups. So perhaps we shouldn't include "ethnic" in the category name after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alternative rename: Category:Nomadic groups in Modern Europe. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Marcocapelle: Hmmh... I've just had a look at the contents, and I'm having trouble finding what you're referring to, Marcocapelle. Which of the groups listed is not an ethnic group? Cgingold (talk) 18:02, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
