That clearly was not your intent when you put the award redirect in the category. What type of articles were you hoping for in this category? -RevelationDirect (talk) 10:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Members of the Provincial-Council of the Netherlands by province

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:19, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: the current title is certainly incorrect, as it suggests there is one "Provincial-Council of the Netherlands". Also, in plural, provincial councils is no longer a proper name and so there is no longer a need for capitalization. Several better alternatives are possible, such as the one nominated, or Category:Members of provincial councils in the Netherlands by province which is closer to the current title, but mind the word "in". Again another rename to Category:Provincial councillors of the Netherlands was opposed for speedy renaming because the term "councillors" is not used in the articles.

  • Category:Members of the Provincial-Council of the Netherlands by province to Category:Provincial councillors of the Netherlands by province – C2D, consistency with "municipal councillors". ― Ætoms [talk] 13:18, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, not a case of WP:C2D and most articles in the category use "member of". Marcocapelle (talk) 16:43, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete as a trivial intersection. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion. Note there are many more occupations in this tree than nominated, moreover trivial intersections of occupation with other causes of death, but I am starting now with (presumably) the most obvious trivial intersections, in order to avoid the nomination becomes a trainwreck.

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:21, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one, two or three articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:25, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RevelationDirect and Armbrust: pinging contributors to speedy discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:20, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
COSCO and [China] COSCO Shipping are two different entities. The latter is former by a merger, i.e. successor. The bold merge of article reverted. Matthew hk (talk) 12:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion of this category should rather focus on should we need COSCO and another category for [China] COSCO Shipping, or just one umbrella cat. Matthew hk (talk) 12:13, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The following related nominations are now under discussion:
1. Requested Move of COSCO under discussion right here.
2. Requested Merger of COSCO Shipping Holdings under discussion right here.
3. Requested Merger of COSCO (Hong Kong) Group under discussion right here.
4. Deletion Review of Category:China Shipping Group under discussion right here.
I'm neutral on all of them but encourage editors to weigh in whether pro, con or other to help bring consensus. - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:47, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Prominent members of the Oxford University L'Chaim Society (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. What is the criterion for determining who is "prominent" enough a member of Oxford University L'Chaim Society for inclusion? AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:31, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of the Queen of Sheba
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Grand Cordons of the Order of the Queen of Sheba‎
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Grand Crosses of the Order of the Queen of Sheba‎
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Knights of the Order of the Queen of Sheba‎
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
When prominent leaders visited imperial Ethiopia, or vice versa, the Order of the Queen of Sheba was given out as souvenir to commemorate the visit. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ingrid of Sweden and Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia are not remotely defined by this award. (The only Ethiopians in this category are members of the royal family who are already well categorized under Category:Ethiopian Royal Family.) There wasn't already a list so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 10:50, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery is an award for American military animals that was created last year (2019) and retroactively inducted mostly historical figures like Cher Ami (WWI), G.I. Joe (pigeon) (WWII), and Sergeant Reckless (Korean War). They have a few weeks left but, so far, none have been issued for 2020. The award doesn't seem defining and the contents are already listified right here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
