  • Propose merging Category:Tropical cyclone effects by region to Category:Tropical cyclone impact by region
Nominator's rationale: Looks like creator was unaware of Category:Tropical cyclone impact by region ?? Le Deluge (talk) 23:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Architects of the Liturgical Movement in the UK

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) 07:21, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't have any strong views on what this should be called, it's intended as a daughter of Category:British ecclesiastical architects but we don't have a category for the Liturgical Movement, the closest we have is Category:Liturgists. Obviously we never abbreviate "UK" in categories, so it could be "British architects of the Liturgical Movement" but beyond that I'm open to views? But we don't need the "British" or "UK" in there at all given that there's no "global" parent category. Le Deluge (talk) 23:43, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sportspeople who committed suicide

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. No notable WP:DEFINING link between the occupation and the manner of death. There may have been many years between the occupation and the suicide, making the link even weaker.
Note: Sources about the death of a person will often discuss both their occupation and their cause of death. This doesn't make this intersection any more notable than a combination with other aspects often discussed in such notices, such as their number of children. See previous:

Comment: what is the qualitative difference between "Sportspeople", "Sports competitors", and "Competitors in athletics"?
William Allen Simpson (talk) 23:15, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@William Allen Simpson: Sportspeople are people involved in sport (including referees etc.). Sports competitors are those who compete in sport. Competitors in athletics are those who compete in the sport of athletics. SFB 01:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you are volunteering to create a list, just go for it. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:26, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • What sources? No main article for any of these categories. Are all sportspeople expected to commit suicide?

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:21, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:House of Leuven

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; do not rename to "Reginarids". Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:40, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, two different names for apparently the same house. House of Leuven redirects to Reginarids, the counts and dukes in this category are said to be Reginarids. Note that the target is nominated for speedy renaming to Category:Reginarids per C2D. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:56, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:19, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
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) 13:27, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Protestant congregations established in the 17th-20th century

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: manual merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:15, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, largely overlapping scope. A manual merge is needed because the articles in the Protestant congregations categories may already be in a denominational subcat of churches. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Protestant congregations established in the 16th century

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: split. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:12, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: in contrast to the four sibling categories nominated above, this category mostly concerns Catholic churches converted to Lutheranism, or Protestantism in general, for which we already have appropriate categories. But there also are a few entirely new Protestant churches (for which we already have a category as well), e.g. Haberberg Church. These are very different situations and it does not make sense to lump them together in one category. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly because of all these issues, the nomination says "split" instead of "merge". Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st class
  • Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD & WP:OVERLAPCAT)
Over a nine million of these awards were given out according to the main article, Order of the Patriotic War. The award was a Soviet medal for World War II (aka "the Patriotic War") that eventually became a campaign medal for every participant. Usually I suggest listifying non-notable awards, but this is too large and the contents would largely overlap with Category:Soviet military personnel of World War II anyway. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Warsaw Cross of the Uprising

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:09, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
We normally don't categorize military people by individual battles because the combatants are already in a military category but Category:Warsaw Uprising insurgents is a worthwhile exception since most of the local combatants in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising were not in a formal military and their participation was clearly defining. What is not defining is also getting the Warsaw Uprising Cross as a campaign medal decades later for that same participation. There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The stated purpose of the award was for all those who "took an active part" which is a campaign medal and, in practice, it appears to have been broadly issued amongst the small subset of combatants who lived into the 1980s and 1990s, with some posthumous exceptions. - RevelationDirect (talk) 11:12, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
