Category:Soviet irredentism

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. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:24, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is based on a conflation of irredentism and expansionism, at best, or subjective original "research". Overall, irredentism is an odd concept to apply to the Soviet Union, given its founding and the Communist ideology was based a rejection of/break from the Imperial Russian past. None of the articles contain even a single mention of irredentism; instead, they are all appropriately categorized within the Military history of the Soviet Union tree.

  • That doesnt seem to be a distinction. Companies described as auction sites also offer stuff at fixed prices. Marketplaces covers both. Rathfelder (talk) 09:10, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Small appliance manufacturers

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 09:11, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The articles are largely about home appliance manufacturers. The Home appliance category is subdivided by country, is well populated, and most of the companies produce appliances of different sizes. There is an article Small appliance, but as noted, this seems to be American usage, and the term is not widely used, even in the American articles. The article isnt well referenced. This doesn't appear to be a useful subdivision. Rathfelder (talk) 18:11, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The appliances can be, but most of the manufacturers can't, usefully, because most of them produce lots of different things. And I think this way of talking about them is not world wide. It's not much used in the articles. And I dont think there is much agreement about what constitutes consumer electronics, because electronics is spreading into places it didnt use to go. We do have Category:Lists of consumer electronics manufacturers, but not Category:Consumer electronics manufacturers, which is just as well because that takes us off into computer manufacturers. There is also a problem in that its not obvious what sort of small appliances are meant - I've taken out some companies which make small appliances like printers.

The result of the discussion was: merge all to Category:Islam by city. (non-admin closure) ToThAc (talk) 21:13, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, as a category layer with very few subcategories it merely hinders easy navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:05, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • We do not even have main articles Islam in Manchester or Islam in Berlin so I guess we are a long way from being able to populate categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • We do not need container categories that only contain one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:24, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Such categories allow navigation from the level above to the level below. Very important! Besides, the islam by city cats are not container cats. These are prime locations for articles that can be otherwise difficult to categorize, especially by location for reasons of smallcat. gidonb (talk) 15:12, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course it is is fine when they actually contain a fair amount of articles rather than just serving as a container category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, for the time being said categories do not exist and it is very uncertain whether they can be created with a fair amount of articles next to a mosques subcat. Even Washington DC has only 3 articles next to the subcat. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:11, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Early medieval French people

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. MER-C 10:09, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, France did not exist before end of the 10th century and these categories mainly contain some rulers in Gascogne/Aquitaine who are neither part of a Gallo-Roman category (e.g. Category:7th-century Gallo-Roman people) nor part of a Frankish category (e.g. Category:7th-century Frankish people). The Gallo-Roman subcats may be moved to a corresponding European people by nationality category; the articles may be moved to a corresponding rulers in Europe category; and finally the 'see also Frankish people' headnote may be moved to the corresponding Gallo-Roman category pages. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:08, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The latter would be odd. The kingdom of Francia originated in current Belgium and they expanded in Germany just as well as they did in France. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:24, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment "except that they appear to have Latin names" I am not certain what this would indicate, as the Franks did adopt the Latin language. One of the two names indicated is Felix (Latin for "happy" or "lucky") and the other is Lupus (Latin for "wolf"). Dimadick (talk) 09:46, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not all of them used Latin names, and besides the use of Latin names does not make them French, if only because French people are entirely anachronistic in this period of history. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:45, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • How does this relate at all to my comment? Dimadick (talk) 19:47, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oops, wrong indent, I was reacting to Peterkingiron. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The U.S. state of Georgia (for which this category is intended) can either be categorized as just "Georgia" (option 1) or "Georgia (U.S. state)" (option 2).
