Category:Venomous insects

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 13:33, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It is unclear whether these categories are for insects for whom insect stings/bites are medically significant (for humans) or for all insects with venom. If the former then that's subjective.  If the latter then there are thousands of species (e.g. many wasps, ants etc) that would belong in the category. If an insect would be capable of hurting a human, but rarely/never does (e.g. because they don't encounter each other) then would it belong in the category? Note: Category:Venomous spiders was deleted partly for similar reasons. DexDor (talk) 18:50, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OCAWARD, which requires the award be a defining characteristic of the notable person. No one is notable simply for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 02:42, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, my iVote is updated. RevelationDirect (talk) 12:43, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This example is not relevant, as it does not show that the characteristic is defining for the individual people in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:07, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Youth wings of Green parties

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. MER-C 13:23, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't think we need to capitalize "Green". Other articles and categories do not categorize it: List of green political parties, Category:Defunct green political parties. I have brought this here rather than WP:CFDS because the case is at least arguable. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:11, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Former ruling Communist parties

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. MER-C 13:22, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As currently phrased, this could mean either communist parties that were once ruling parties or communist parties that were once ruling parties and are now defunct. Based on the category definition, it is meant to be the former, so I suggest changing "former" to the adverb "formerly" so it is clear that that word modifies the verb "ruling". (Also change caps on "Communist" to "communist".) A similar naming approach is used for Category:Formerly banned political parties and its subcategories.

Nominator's rationale: There is no reason to use this obscure name which mixed English and Japanese. There is an article for the franchise which should simply be the namesake of the category. ★Trekker (talk) 00:40, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Piepenbrock Prize for Sculpture recipients
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Piepenbrock Prize for Sculpture was a private award given to sculptors in the "German-speaking world" from 1998 to 2008. Of the 8 biographies in this category 6 mention the award in passing, 2 don't mention it at all, and none mention it in the lede so it doesn't seem defining. The recipients are already listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Awards and prizes of the Royal College, Colombo
Nominator's rationale: WP:RCAT
No conceptual problem with this category but we don't have any actual articles on this topic. What we do have are 4 redirects all pointing to Royal College, Colombo#Awards. WP:RCAT does allow for multiple reasons to categorize redirects and this is not one of them, but no objection to recreating later if we ever get up to 5 or so actual articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category contains only North America's Forgotten Past and four redirects to that article. No merge would be necessary because the article is appropriately categorized. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:14, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
