Non-free logos by subject

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/rename all to remove "non-free", i.e. Category:Non-free software logos to Category:Software logos, Category:Non-free musical artist logos to Category:Musical artist logos, Category:Non-free logos of skeptic organisations to Category:Skeptic organisation logos, Category:Non-free logos of humanist organisations to Category:Humanist association logos. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
Nominator's rationale: Logos are categorized by subject under the scheme of Category:Wikipedia images of logos. We do not need to create parallel category trees for free and non-free logos by subject, partly because nearly all logos on Wikipedia are non-free (free logos should be on Commons). All of the files are already in Category:All non-free logos, so a full upmerge is not required. Regarding the two 'organisation' categories, I do not think we should split Category:Organization logos by philosophy, but I suppose it would be fine for now to just rename them to remove "non-free".

Sports related anime and manga categories

The result of the discussion was: rename. -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is some confusion on whether these sports related categories are subgenres of the Category:Sports anime and manga or if these categories are more akin to theme categories, like Category:Sports in fiction. While reliable sources will identify a particular fictional work as "Sports manga" or "Sports manga", they almost never identify an fictional work as "Baseball anime" or "Baseball manga". Some of these categories may even fail WP:SMALLCAT as only have no more than 4 or 5 members and two categories (Mahjong and Shogi) aren't even sports related. —Farix (t | c) 14:42, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the categories mostly consist of just one article. While the area of what currently constitutes Belgium was divided between France and the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, all the above establishments appeared to be in the Holy Roman Empire, so that's why HRE has been specified as a first merge target. Note, I realize there will be opposition against the second merge target, I've added it nevertheless for the simple reason that Category:10th-century establishments in Belgium etc. exist in WP and haven't been nominated for deletion (yet). Emptying a category is not a good idea when deletion is the actual purpose while deletion hasn't been discussed here. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the categories mostly consist of only one article. Note that in the Middle Ages the larger part of Flanders was a fief of the kingdom of France, not of the Holy Roman Empire. It seems therefore reasonable to merge to year-in-France categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure what leads to this conclusion. User:Dimadick discussed the centuries after the ending of the Hundred Year's War when France started eastward expansion. Until then, there hasn't been any controversy about the French-HRE border. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • What about the 10% that was east of the Scheldt? Was it not that way in the 14th century also? If so, then the triple merge is needed. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:24, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was indeed. So I can 't argue that triple merge is wrong, I do think that triple merge is a bit exaggerated though. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:33, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the categories mostly consist of only one article. Note, the merge targets have been dispersed between France and the Holy Roman Empire, dependent on geographical scope of the article in the category. If a year-in-HRE category does not exist, a year-in-Europe has been proposed as an additional target. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure). The discussion about Herod the Great is beyond this deletion proposal, it may lead to a new merge proposal though. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Small Category Editor2020 (talk) 02:20, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Don't think so, the Hasmonean dynasty ruled an independent kingdom as Israelite Kings-Priests, which in its final two and a half decades fell under the influence of Rome (63 BCE - 40 BCE) and then shortly Parthian Empire (40 BCE - 37 BCE). With the rise of Herod the Edomean, the Jewish religious leadership was practically discontinued and the reorganized kingdom became a Roman client state, increasingly influenced by Greco-Roman culture. With the death of Herod the Great his kingdom became a tetrarchy divided between his family members - primarily his three sons Achelaus, Philip and Antipas. From 6 CE to 44 CE the Herodian tetrarchy was gradually absorbed into the Roman Empire provinces of Syria and Judea and though the dynasty existed into the late 1st century (the last notable member was Agrippa II), it practically lost all control over Judea. The Hasmonean and Herodian kingdoms were hence differing in governance, nominal status (independence in Hasmonean case through most of its existence), territory, leadership origins and even religious demographics (strictly Judean under Hasmoneans and increasingly Greco-Roman under Herodians).GreyShark (dibra) 20:12, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am quite familiar with their dynastic history, but the Hasmoneans were already under Greek influence. Several of them used Greek names, such as Aristobulus, Alexander, Alexandra, and Antigonus. Their period represents Hellenistic Judaism at its height. Judea was already a Roman client kingdom since the conquests of Pompey, and Herod secured his right to the throne by marrying Mariamne I, a Hasmonean princess. Herod's descendants, while including several interesting historical figures, are largely irrelevant here. The Province of Judea was set up a decade following Herod's death and most of his descendants ruled minor realms. Herod Agrippa II reigned over the Kingdom of Chalcis and various areas of the Roman Middle East, but not over Judea. Dimadick (talk) 08:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that there was not one but multiple co-existant successor states (the tetrarchy) is sufficient reason to disambiguate. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Herodian kingdom dies with Herod himself (4 BC). I was not suggesting we should include the tetrarchs as monarchs. Dimadick (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
