Propose renaming Category:DAB ensemble to Category:DAB multiplexes

Nominator's rationale: The unusual singular name of this category would merit a change alone, but I also think the term DAB multiplex instead of DAB ensemble is more widely used (particularly in the UK and Ireland articles that are in this category; only one uses "ensemble" in the lede) and the main "article" itself is a sentence in another article.

Propose renaming Category:Killer shark films to Category:Films about killer sharks

Nominator's rationale: Probably less necessary here than in other instances, but category should still be renamed to make it more clear that it's to be applied when killer sharks are a primary aspect of the film, not for films in which killer sharks incidentally appear. DonIago (talk) 03:33, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I created this category years ago, when I was much less experienced with Wikipedia. I think phrasing it as "Films about killer sharks" helps to clarify the category's topic far better than "Killer shark films" does. –Matthew - (talk) 04:00, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Viral drinks to Category:Drink fads

Nominator's rationale: "Viral" is ambiguous, and the Internet-slang sense is not the primary one. The most substantial article in here is Popularity spikes of drinks, a topic broad enough to encompass drink fads that pre-date the Internet and "viral" Internet memes. — AReaderOutThataway ^t/_c 18:31, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge although I am less than convinced that fads is definable enough to categorize by, it seems very much an arbitrary thing, and maybe not defining for some things, that may have been a fad for a year but existed in total for 50 plus. However that would require a discussion of that category, for now we can upmerge this one category. Virality is even harder to pin down than being a fad. It may make sense for a category like Category:Viral videos, but does not make sense for mass produced physical objects.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. There is consensus to not merge as nominated, but no broader consensus that I could discern. Compelling arguments were offered that "women's rights activist" and "feminist" overlap but are not identical due to scope ("women's rights" versus "feminism"), level of implied activity ("activist" implies activity whereas "feminist" implies ideology), or both. In addition, from a procedural perspective, it would be problematic to treat a single nationality differently from the ~100 others in Category:Women's rights activists by nationality and in Category:Feminists by nationality. If anyone is interested, I would suggest seeking a broader consensus, perhaps at a venue other than CfD, related to the appropriate uses of the labels "women's rights activist" and "feminist". -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 23:34, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Saudi Arabian women's rights activists to Category:Saudi Arabian feminists

Nominator's rationale: Given the en.Wikipedia articles women's rights and feminists, and the lack of sources suggesting any claim that Saudi Arabian feminists are not Saudi Arabian women's rights activists or vice versa, it's confusing to have two different categories. The lead of feminism clearly applies to all the Saudi feminists/women's rights activists categorised so far as per the sources. Comment: Saudi Arabian women's rights activists was only created on 21 December 2018, while Saudi Arabian feminists‎ dates back to 2011 without any apparent controversy. Boud (talk) 21:41, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, it seems that this requires a broader discussion about the overlap between the women's rights activists and feminists categories, it is not a problem of one single country. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not convinced of the sense of widening the debate. I'm asking here about the specific case of a community that is mostly not English-speaking - the sources in the relevant Wikipedia articles are mostly English-language descriptions of events that happen mostly in Arabic and there's no hint of a semantic/political debate about Saudi feminists being worried about a separation between being described as "feminists" versus "women's rights activists". They're more worried about getting out of prison, getting phony legal cases against them dropped, trying for legal action against their torturers, and getting rights enacted in practice. If the semantic division is absent among Saudi feminists, then imposing it would seem to me to risk being OR. Boud (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not all women's rights activists consider themselves feminists, eg advocating gender-egalitarianism rather than feminism. We should not automatically categorize someone who advocates women's rights as a "feminist" unless they describe him/herself as such or are described as such. Zerach (talk) 09:04, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The lead of feminism says "Feminism is a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes.[a][2][3][4][5]" and a bit later "Most western feminist historians contend that all movements working to obtain women's rights should be considered feminist movements, even when they did not (or do not) apply the term to themselves.[20][21][22][23][24][25] Other historians assert that the term should be limited to the modern feminist movement and its descendants." Should we (en.Wikipedia) disagree with "most western feminist historians"? I agree that if any particular feminist/women's rights activist has a preference for/against one term or the other, it would be reasonable to respect that within the article (BLP), but imposing a Western[*] semantic (euphemistic) division absent from the Saudi situation on Categories seems to me risk being OR (as in my comment above). As far as I can see, none of the Saudi feminists we have articles for is known to have claimed that s/he is "not a feminist" (this could be due to a lack of sources, or to a lack of priority given to the semantic question).
[*] As viewed by Hatoon al-Fassi, a Saudi academic, the dramatically anti-women situation in current Saudi Arabia historically traces back to Western (ancient Greek/Roman) anti-women biases. Boud (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/ALT1: Would it be acceptable to assume that every Saudi Arabian feminist is a Saudi Arabian women's rights activist, and make the former a sub-category of the latter (instead of a merge)? While there would be initially no pages that are only in the latter category, this would allow for the future possibility of a women's rights activist not wanting the label "feminist" to be categorised only in Category:Saudi Arabian women's rights activists. This would also solve the over-categorisation problem of existing articles on Saudi feminists. Boud (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment, in most articles in this category the women are characterized as women's rights activists rather than as feminists. This suggests a reverse merge or a reverse ALT1 would be more appropriate. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:43, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How about reverse merge? Peterkingiron (talk) 17:42, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I see no objections to a reverse merge: semantically and in terms of sources, better have one category rather than two with no clear justification of any mismatches between the two sets. If in the future it becomes clear enough from the sources that there are one or more Saudi feminists/women's right activists who insist on being called feminists in English (or the translators make this clear as a fair translation from Arabic), e.g. because they see "women's rights activists" as being an unnecessary euphemism, then the two categories could presumably be separated again, but it's unlikely to be me proposing the separation.

I dont see this issue as specific to Saudi Arabia. All the feminist and womens rights activists categories overlap. It's hard to find anyone who isnt in both categories. Rathfelder (talk) 07:40, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose at least on procedural grounds. I am not sure that 19th-century suffragist would easily fall under the heading of "feminists". However mainly we have a whole tree of these two categories, and nothing particular to Saudi Arabia to oppose two categories. So either we should have a tree of both, or not. One thing is someone can be a feminist without being truly an activist. A feminist could be a passive writer who never gets involved in any formal activism.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:39, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reverse merge perferably for entire tree, but otherwise to. There is too much overlap between these categories trees for it to be useful and I find the risk for accidental WP:OR by forgetting to place an article in both categories large. Regarding Johnpacklambert's example of a passive writer not being an activist but being a feminist, I disagree with that statement and would consider a writer notable for supporting Women's rights in their texts a women's rights activist. --Trialpears (talk) 22:44, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
