Category:Twin sportspeople

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. – Fayenatic London 05:49, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:COP#N, we are instructed that categories should be made for "standard biographical details: year of birth, year of death and nationality [as well as] the reason(s) for the person's notability; i.e., the characteristics the person is best known for.not everything a celebrity does after becoming famous warrants categorization." This is a non-notable intersection birth and profession. In some cases, including in music or modeling, being a twin is notable. However, in sports, it is unrelated or wholly peripheral to the topic's notability. TM 20:18, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Or indeed the Bryan brothers. Or Gary Neville and Phil Neville. Oculi (talk) 10:07, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sportspeople from Myanmar

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 and redirect. – Fayenatic London 05:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category structure for sportspeople is by country and city, and not by the top-level of country. For example, there are no categories for Category:Sportspeople from Germany or Category:Sportspeople from France. Where the city is known, there is the Category:Sportspeople by city in Myanmar. However, these are Burmese sportspeople who don't have the info of where they are from within the country. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:21, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: An irrational number has a periodic continued fraction if and only if it is quadratic. The inclusion of cubic numbers such as the plastic constant is incorrect. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:15, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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: do not delete, therefore rename to Category:John F. Kennedy High School (Texas) alumni . – Fayenatic London 21:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Small category (1 article) that has existed since 2014. TM 14:37, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are 95 categories in that scheme, but there are over 3,200 high schools in the state, so I don't think the 'unless' applies. I don't think we have agreed to create a category for every high school alumni so I am not sure how it applies.--TM 18:31, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We have, for high schools with at least 1 notable alumnus. Most high schools have no notable alumni, much as many artists have no notable songs (cf Category:Songs by artist). And then there are notable alumni for whom a sourced reference for their school cannot be found. And why is there "no potential for growth"? Oculi (talk) 10:56, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is that policy? If so, can you please link to it? As for the possibility of growth, I would point to the category's existence since 2014 and the inclusion of a single article.--TM 16:48, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep for now without prejudice to a fresh discussion about an alternative name, preferably after closure of this RM (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Deaths from the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic to Category:2020 deaths from coronavirus disease 2019
Nominator's rationale: More precise. Ditto for subcategories. Create a "2019..." category, and a parent "Category:Deaths from coronavirus disease 2019" if needed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:16, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is the article name.--TM 01:05, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You say that as if it's somehow helpful. The disease is still called "COVID-19". -Jason A. Quest (talk) 18:11, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Dungeons & Dragons undead creatures to Category:Dungeons & Dragons creatures
Nominator's rationale: Only three articles, but Libris Mortis seems irrelevant to the "creatures" categorization. Also upmerge to "Fictional undead." TTN (talk) 12:15, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Dungeons & Dragons extraplanar creatures to Category:Dungeons & Dragons creatures

Category:Songs with music by M.I.A. (rapper)

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) 15:15, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The current title is inaccurate, as we normally only name categories "Songs with music by X" when the person is specifically credited with composing the music but not writing the lyrics. On the other hand, on most/all of the songs in the category, M.I.A. is simply credited with "songwriting" which could mean one or both of those things. ｖａｐｏｒｇａｚｅ💬 (please ping on reply) 11:38, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 19:26, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF as "king of Burgundy" was a mere secondary title of the Holy Roman Emperors and the Kings of the Romans of this period; WP:OVERLAPCAT therefore also applies. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Politics by decade. Note that the articles in Category:Politics overviews by decade have already been transferred to their respective "XXXXs in politics categories". bibliomaniac15 18:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, as "overview" is subjective and not a defining characteristic. In practice it is being used as a kind of a WP:SHAREDNAME category for all "20x0s in something" articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:01, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
