The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:42, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OCAWARD. Bondegezou (talk) 23:07, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Does being a RnRHoF inductee become a defining category? Let's take an example. I looked at Phil Collins, as a musician I like. He's a RnRHoF inductee; he's in the category. I looked at the 10 most recent news items about him on Google News. Not one mentioned his inductee status. One mentioned he was a Grammy winner, although that was a news piece at grammy.com! Phrases that were used about Collins include, "drummer/singer/legend", "“In the Air Tonight” singer/songwriter", "English musician", "musician", "Legendary performer", "Genesis legend", "Genesis drummer and vocalist", and "pop icon". Those are, therefore, defining categories: he's an English singer, drummer and songwriter who used to be in Genesis. RnRHoF induction, is not something "that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having" (to quote WP:CATDEF). I didn't see a single mention.
Maybe Phil Collins is just odd. So, I looked in the category at the next name listed. That's Tom Constanten, who I've not heard of before today. Again, I looked at the 10 most recent news items about him on Google News. Again, not one mentioned his inductee status. Phrases used were, "keyboardist", "the only living ex-Grateful Dead-member keyboardist", "avant-garde musician", "original Grateful Dead pianist", "Grateful Dead alum", and "Grateful Dead's". Those are, therefore, defining categories: he's an avant-garde keyboardist who used to be in The Grateful Dead. RnRHoF induction, is not something "that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having".
Next on the list is Paul Cook, who I have heard of! Turns out there's a lot of Paul Cooks, so it took longer to go through a Google News search, but terms I got were "drummer", "surviving member of the Sex Pistols", "of the Sex Pistols" and "Sex Pistols drummer".
Being a RnRHoF inductee is a nice award, a big award, but it doesn't become a defining category that reliable sources commonly and consistently define subjects as having. Ergo, it fails WP:OCAWARD. Bondegezou (talk) 18:16, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge all per nom to sportspeople-from-FooCity, and also to Category:American skateboarders . --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:28, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging
Nominator's rationale: It is consensus per multiple CFD here[1], here[2], here[3], here[4], and here[5] that we don't subcategorize sportspeople by the type of sport they perform. William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:05, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Possible keep Thank you, William, for the heads up. I did not know about the subcategorization. My one questions is whether skateboarding differs because it is very much a geographic dependent sport? Skaters from NY perform on different terrain than skaters from LA or SF. Thoughts?--Wil540 art (talk) 00:41, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Princely families

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. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split/merge, the princely families tree is a very small tree probably because only few princely families consistently remain princely families, as titles may change in the course of centuries. Dynasties and noble families are more general, and equally applicable to the families in these categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:01, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Primates of Eastern Orthodox uncanonical churches

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. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:04, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, uncanonical is not a neutral term, it is from the point of view of the Eastern Orthodox Church. A more neutral term is independent, similar to its parent category and to e.g. List of Christian denominations#Independent Eastern Orthodoxy. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:41, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Populated places established in 1118

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:Populated places established in the 1110s. There is a clear consensus to upmerge, but no consensus on where. Since no reason was offered why an event in 1118 doesn't belong in an extant 1110s category, I am closing as a merge to the 1110s without prejudice to any followup nomination to upmerge the decade categories to the century. Pinging the participants: @Greenshed and Marcocapelle. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In line with the category guidelines, where reliable foundation dates exist, populated place articles should be categorised by year for 1500 and later, by decade from the 1200s to the 1490s, by century from the 10th century BC to the 13th century and by millennium for the 2nd millennium BC and earlier. .

Category:Biota

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. MER-C 10:20, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These two categories appear to cover the same topic and hence this is an unnecessary complication in the category structure. Note: Most of the subcats in the Biota category are already in Category:Organisms by location. DexDor (talk) 06:29, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@DexDor, I suggest that you start a discussion at WT:BIOLOGY or at the village pump, and see if there is a broad consensus for doing this ... and then if there is, doing a mass nomination. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:58, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This CFD doesn't propose renaming any categories; it proposes a merge of two categories that have the same scope (nothing more). The convention generally followed in en wp is to use the more scientific terminology ("biota", "fauna" etc) in Foos-of-Foobar (and Endemic-foos-of-Foobar etc) categories and use the less scientific terminology ("organisms", "animals" etc) in other categories (although there are inconsistencies and Foos-of-era categories are currently a mixture) (Example earlier CFD for background) - we don't usually have both (e.g. we have Category:Biota of Africa; we don't also have an "Organisms of Africa" category). A combined biota/organisms category could be at Category:Biota, but that would be less consistent with categories such as Category:Individual organisms. DexDor (talk) 13:43, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@DexDor: fair enough. I have struck my oppose. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:13, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge all per nominator. @RevelationDirect, please would you be kind enough to implement this? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:41, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All articles moved, and empty categories tagged for speedy deletion. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:42, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCLOCATION, WP:NARROWCAT, and WP:SMALLCAT
These intersection by denomination/location categories are all 1 or 2 article (or create such with their parent category) and tend to hinder navigation since they break up small groups of articles and none of the target/merge categories are overly large. As far as growth potential, there are some other churches we don't have articles on in most of the categories but too few are notable to foreseeably get to 5 or so articles. With the cathedral categories, there likely is no room for growth outside of Greece. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch; nomination updated. RevelationDirect (talk) 09:34, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of Zayed
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
When foreign leaders visit the United Arab Emirates, or vice versa, one of these awards is given out as souvenir to commemorate the visit. Naruhito, Crown Prince of Japan and Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar are not defined by this award. If you want to see the clutter these categories create at the article level, just look at the train wreck at the bottom of this article. The recipients are already listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:47, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Volleyball Hall of Fame inductees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:DEFINING)
The Volleyball Hall of Fame article lists 140 recipients only a minority of which are redlinks but the category currently just has 2 of them. Clicking through the articles, the award is typically mentioned in a list with other awards and doesn't seem defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:46, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
