Category:UCUM units

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: delete. MER-C 11:07, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories are inherently nondefining, since UCUM is "a code system intended to include all units of measures being contemporarily used in international science, engineering, and business."[1] None of the listed units are "defined" as UCUM units. The set of "UCUM Units" is the set of all units in current use. The set of "UCUM derived units" is the set of all units in current use, except for the seven UCUM base units. WP:NONDEFINING, WP:OVERLAPCAT
Category:UCUM derived units should be deleted without merging. The contents of Category:UCUM units could be merged into Category:Unified Code for Units of Measure.
Category:UCUM base quantities should also be deleted. It's nondefining, and also pointless because UCUM is a system for coding units, not physical quantities.

  • Propose renaming Category:Prison governors by country to Category:Prison governors by nationality
Nominator's rationale: more accurate description of the content. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:27, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The alternative would require renaming the subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:53, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the proposed nomination. We should be categorizing based on the location of the prison, not the nationality of the administrator. The category should also not use the term "governor", but rather the more generic "administrator", like the parent category. So, I'm proposing Category:Prison administrators by country. Subcategories like Category:American prison wardens would not need to be renamed, as it's ambiguous whether "American" modifies "wardens" or "prison".--Srleffler (talk) 23:31, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Academia is different: it requires advanced education and writing skills that are far beyond what most people can do, and international cooperation is outright encouraged, so it's common for academics to live and work in foreign countries. Conversely, I suspect that anyone with ordinary sense could become a prison governor with proper training and experience, and there's nothing international about running a single prison. Plus, criminal-justice occupations tend to be restricted to citizens (an extreme US example is NOFORN). I strongly doubt that any country of reasonable size has a significant proportion of prison administrators or guards who are foreigners. Nyttend (talk) 05:16, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge all. MER-C 09:09, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: too few articles in the Scottish and in the Northern Ireland category to keep them separate. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:15, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in the United States in 2019

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: keep (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 09:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Multiple subject categories dont really help, we already have Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in 2019 and Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in the United States so this just dilutes and confuses the category trees. Also creates a prescedent for the creation of 100s of year/country category intersections. MilborneOne (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
