The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Mdaniels5757 (talk) 23:00, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We don't collect redirects by namespace of the target in other cases, why should we do so here? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 18:57, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pleasure! Redirect categories are used to get a handle on the many and varied types of redirects. Categories readily show how many redirects are within it, and bots are used to extract other data from high volume categories. Some redirect maintenance categories are used to make sure redirects are not targeting the wrong namespaces and to find redirects that need to be mentioned on their target page, retargeted or deleted. There are probably several more data-collection tasks about which I don't have a clue for which redirect maintenance categories are used.

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Redirects to a decade; revisit if unsatisfactory There's no support for the current name but opinion is divided all over on the destination with discussion having ground to a halt and unlikely to revive; this one has the most support Timrollpickering (talk) 17:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Redirects to decade to Category:Redirects to decades
Nominator's rationale: Plural. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 17:23, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree. The plural for the category is for the entries, which are "redirects. Each redirect goes to one decade, so "decade" should not be plural. Its rcat template is ((R to decade)), not ((R to decades)). If anything, a correct and more precise name would be Category:Redirects to a decade; however, the creators of this type of maintenance category appeared to prefer to leave out definite and indefinite articles, to be concise rather than precise. So this category name is acceptable just as it is. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 21:55, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Paine Ellsworth: Almost every rcat is named with a plural in that position. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes the plural applies, sometimes it doesn't. There might be more than one modification or more than one diacritical mark in a target title or a redirect title. In this case, in never applies. These redirects always target only one decade, so it would be inappropriate to use "decades" (plural). I would not be averse to renaming the cat to Category:Redirects to a decade; although I could be wrong, it just seems there are much more pressing improvement needs on Wikipedia! P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 12:27, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Paine Ellsworth: I would still say that the redirect "point to decades", not to "decade" or "a decade". While a single one always redirects to one decade, they don't target the same one. Would you really use "films about an animal" for films that only address one animal (but each a different one)? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 17:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I would. Either works, I suppose; however, "films about an animal" in this case is more precise than "films about animals" (imho). P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 22:10, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:R.S. Naval Forces to Category:Royal Saudi Navy bases
Nominator's rationale: These are the bases of the Royal Saudi Navy. Sildemund (talk) 16:21, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with merging. Originally I thought there was a possibility of one or two more articles on reported minor naval bases at Yanbu, Dammam and Mishab. However, I have struggled to find sufficient reliable sources for them. Sildemund (talk) 20:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I agree with merging these too. If I can find or write new relevant articles, I will recreate these categories. Sildemund (talk) 19:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Feels like WP:OVERCATEGORISATION, there's no other country of origin categories for Harvard and I don't think it's something we should encourage? Le Deluge (talk) 11:56, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I am not sure what the Seminole Caucus is. There is no article about it and the description in the category is not clear. It seems to be anon-defining Florida legislative caucus. User:Namiba 11:39, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Christians of medieval Islam

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 Timrollpickering (talk) 10:52, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, improving awkward phrasing ("of Islam" implies Muslim), and aligning with parent Category:Christianity in the medieval Islamic world and Category:Judaism in the medieval Islamic world. - Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Not opposed to renaming, but the rationale is not quite accurate. Medieval Islam = Medieval Islamic world = the equivalent of Christendom. It refers to the historical period from the 7th to 15th centuries and part of the world where the dominant religious and cultural influence was the religion of Islam. Geographically, medieval Islam extended from the Iberian Peninsula through North Africa and the Middle East, to central Asia. This is how it is defined and used in the academic literature, but I can see why it can be confusing for the average Wiki reader. Al-Andalusi (talk) 15:14, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Computer olympiads
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT and the spirit of WP:C2F, one eponymous article
No conceptual objection to this category but the only thing in it is the main article, Computer Olympiad, and Template:Computer Olympiads which is already in that same main article. There's no navigational purpose for this category and I don't anticipate future notable articles but, if I'm wrong and we ever get up to 5 articles, no objection to recreating.

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Charles S. Roberts Award winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Charles S. Roberts Award is an award named after Charles S. Roberts and is given to wargames. The games in this category do mention this award in passing with other honors but it doesn't seem defining to, say, Nuclear War (card game) or A House Divided (board game) but click around the category to pick your own examples. The contents of the category are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. (Alternatively, if kept, purge the biographies of game designers who received a related but different award.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:22, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
