Nominator's rationale: merge, it is not clear how this category differentiates itself from its parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:55, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Meanwhile Category:People by association largely serves as a container category of container categories, implying that very few articles are directly in an association category. This is one of the remaining exceptions. In this case, grouping by having "associated with" in the article title is actually a case of WP:SHAREDNAME.

Years in the Israeli Civil Administration Area

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, though it was trending towards option D. I recommend a fresh nomination with an option or options which are clearly set out. This discussion ended up as more of a brainstorming exercise. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Added 14 Oct:
Nominator's rationale: There was consensus at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_August_22#Category:1993_establishments_in_the_Palestinian_territories to merge the 1982–1993 establishments hierarchies for Israeli Civil Administration area and Palestinian territories, and a balance favouring "Palestinian territories". I have done some housekeeping to redirect parent categories that became empty, but consensus is needed to harmonise the rest of the structure.
I am inclined to keep the decades categories e.g. Category:1980s establishments in the Israeli Civil Administration area and Category:1990s in the Israeli Civil Administration area as part of the ICAA hierarchy, but containing year categories for PT e.g. Category:1990s in the Palestinian territories.
Alternative Option B: keep the nominated categories, and rename the Palestinian territories categories back to ICAA, i.e. reversing the merges that were done after the previous CFD.
Note: if the renaming to PT is approved, then the 1967–1982 year categories within Category:Israeli Military Governorate can be nominated for similar treatment afterwards. Note that 1982 estab was merged to Category:1982 establishments in the Palestinian territories as part of the earlier CFD; if the alternative in this CFD is approved, then that merge should be reversed from PT to IMG. – Fayenatic London 20:53, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I notice that support for option D is growing in the discussion below. For me option D is close enough to the original nomination to support that alternative as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:19, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously as Pt is an anachronism for 1980s, it should be merged into ICA - alternative B.GreyShark (dibra) 07:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If option B is chosen, then I suggest that all "ICA area" categories should carry an explanation of the years and locations that the ICA covered. I have just found one page which has an attempt to do this, namely Category:1983 in the Israeli Civil Administration area, but most of them do not explain what ICA was; e.g. the header info for the succeeding 1984 category currently has only a red link. I have some awareness of this topic, but when I first came across these "ICA area" categories I did not understand that they were set up to be precursors to the later "Palestinian" categories. – Fayenatic London 15:17, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Until the 1990s most sources and UN used "Occupied Arab territories" (like this [1]) for all territories under the Israeli Military Governorate and under the Civil Administration System. Israeli-occupied territories term came into use later and notably also added southern Lebanon, where Israeli Army supported local Lebanese Christian militias via military deployment. In 1999, the UN added a new concept "Palestinian territories, Occupied" to specifically refer to areas A,B,C of the PNA.GreyShark (dibra) 07:54, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that since 1 October 1999, Palestinian Territory, Occupied was the ISO Short name and the ISO Official name was Occupied Palestinian Territory if that's any help. Selfstudier (talk) 23:25, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Using a vague nickname (IoT) with vague definition for the actual governance systems (IMG, ICA, OpT/PNA) is like utilizing category:Years in Uncle Sam for the US.GreyShark (dibra) 07:58, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Occupied Arab territories is actually the other name of the Israeli Military Governorate. Option D per nominator is "occupied Palestinian territories".GreyShark (dibra) 06:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Occupied Arab territories is problematic as it would include the Golan, Sinai (until 82), and South Lebanon. There might be good cause to unlump Gaza and the West Bank into separate cats - but lumping in additional territories isn't a good idea. Icewhiz (talk) 12:46, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although that sounds like a useful idea, there are various (dis)establishments in Golan & Sinai; if this proposal was implemented, one solution would be to place them up into the decade categories for IMG/ICA, as I have currently done with Nimrod, Golan Heights. There is at least one (Tamer Institute for Community Education) which "works across the West Bank and Gaza Strip";[2] such cases could be placed in both categories. I would suggest Category:1983 in the Gaza Strip rather than just "Gaza", as part of Category:Years in the Gaza Strip which currently starts at 2006. There were until recently a few C21 establishment categories for the Gaza Strip, which were merged to Palestinian territories, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_September_18#Establishments_in_the_Gaza_Strip; creating this split for 1967–1993 would reopen the question of whether to extend the split hierarchy thereafter. – Fayenatic London 21:45, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Golan & Sinai - only prior to 1982 (as Israel pulled out of the Sinai completely in 1982, and the Golan Heights Law, annexing the Golan to Israel, was passed in 1981). For the most part - establishments are area specific - but if an org is established at the same time at both locations (and not a few years later) - then it would be in two cats (an issue one would assume with other areas and organizations that span a few areas). Icewhiz (talk) 20:03, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
​re Golan: Kanaf is currently in Category:1985 establishments in the Israeli Civil Administration area.
re Sinai – I was thinking of four articles in Category:1982 disestablishments in the Israeli Military Governorate. (That category currently does not match the 1982 estab category which was merged to Category:1982 establishments in the Palestinian territories; that merge would be reversed under option B.) Under option E, would the split only be done for 1983 onwards, and if so should 1967–1982 categories use IMG, so that in particular the recently-merged 1982 estab category would use IMG? – Fayenatic London 11:41, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
1982 disestab is mainly Sinai. Kanaf is wrong - as the ICA was not active after 1981 in the Golan. I would disbundle 1967-1982 as well (to Gaza, West Bank, Golan, and Sinai) - which might be consistent with 1949-1967 for Gaza and the West Bank at least (under Egyptian and Jordanian occupation).Icewhiz (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that Israeli Military Governorate (1967-1981) also included Golan and Sinai, which are clearly unrelated with Palestinian territories.GreyShark (dibra) 07:33, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus, but hopefully one will emerge from the discussion started here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:28, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No need for this as Gatwick Express has already merged with Govia Thameslink Railway so this train operating company doesn't exist on its own anymore. There is no need for a category about the railway stations served by a former TOC that doesn't exist on its own anymore. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:41, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up removal of empty fungi decadal categories, per WP:TREE RFC @ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Request for comment: categorizing by year of formal description. See previous, related CfDs here, here, here, and here.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  18:57, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WT:TREE & WT:FUNGI notified.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  19:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Occuli, none have been emptied out-of-process. Fungi year categories were standardized 2 months after the closing of the 3.5-month-long RfC. Then, the notice for this CfD was placed on the decadal categories. I believe 3.5 months is a more than adequate discussion period, followed by 2 months of being 'on display', also without objection.
Regarding all of your non-taxonomic examples, yes, WP:OTHERCATSEXIST.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  04:36, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The parent category, Category:Daredevil (TV series), is rather small - it has only the main article, a list of its characters, and a media file - 2 articles and 1 file. Perhaps this category should be merged into the parent category, as it doesn't yet seem necessary to split the seasons into a subcategory. – numbermaniac 12:22, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: manually* delete, unrelated intersection between occupation and cause of death.

Delete most of these. Keep Category:Spies who died in Nazi concentration camps and Category:Resistance members who died in Nazi concentration camps, since spies and resistance members were often imprisoned or executed in concentration camps if caught. Some of these need an upmerge, especially the Jewish ones. Fredy Hirsch, for instance, is in Category:Jewish sportspeople who died in the Holocaust but not in Category:Jewish sportspeople. In addition, all of the Jewish categories should be upmerged into Category:Jewish people who died in the Holocaust. Catrìona (talk) 09:01, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agree on making exceptions for resistance members and spies, as well as military personnel. Upmerging should be done manually, because most articles are already in a subcategory of Category:Jewish people who died in the Holocaust by nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:14, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Catrìona had the same question. Upmerging should be done manually, because most articles are already in a subcategory of Category:Jewish people who died in the Holocaust by nationality. It is something for WP:CFDWM. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:29, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Marcocapelle: Sory, I missed that. (facepalm) Thanks for the clarification.
Please could you amend the nomination to something like "anually delete" or "selectively merge" for those cats, so that the closer is clear that these should not just be fed to the bots? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:56, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Calling it "holocaust" is specific to Jews, excluding Poles, gypsies, imbeciles, etc. The two latter are unlikely to include professional people." I am not sure how to read this. Nazis have imprisonned and killed people of all kinds of professions, mostly irrespective of their profession (exceptions discussed above), Why exactly would we need to diffuse Jews by occupation (and second question, why not Poles)?
