Category:Ancient Greek philosophers of mathematics

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) 03:49, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, the two articles are already in Category:Ancient Greek mathematicians and the articles do not give much information about them being philosophers of mathematics. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:57, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Heavy Woollen District

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:57, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Nominating on behalf of User:RailwayJG. Although there wasn't consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heavy Woollen District to delete or merge it doesn't seem appropriate to have a category for an informal region even if it can support an article. Any entries should be moved to the district's categories namely Category:Kirklees, Category:Leeds and Category:City of Wakefield. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge everything in category except George II of Great Britain and James Oglethorpe. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:46, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: manually merge, only two biographies are defined by this characteristic, for other biographies it is a matter of WP:OCASSOC. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:57, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Soft science fiction novels

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) 03:45, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING This is a vague category and relies too much on opinion. I'm not sure what would qualify a novel to go in it, and I suspect most people feel the same, as it has only two entries after five years. Robina Fox (talk) 15:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the articles on the novels mentioned in Soft science fiction, and only Dune and The Last Policeman contain any reference to soft science fiction, and the latter has it only in the infobox, without citation. Ella, which is in the category, also contains nothing about it in the article. Robina Fox (talk) 01:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I do believe that there are reliable sources out there. On-line, I find some libraries have pages discussing soft science fiction books, but those appear to be staff blogs. I do see books out there, such as The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction and The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (St. Martin's Press) that would be reliable sources. Unfortunately, they are not viewable on-line and are not in my local library. I can see about getting an inter-library loan for one or more of those. I think the point is though, it does appear that the categorization of works as "soft science fiction" can be cited from reliable sources. - Donald Albury 02:35, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:42, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Morris Communications sold its stations to Alpha Media in 2015, and the last remaining straggler has been removed from the category (it was already in "Alpha Media radio stations"). Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 06:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This company appears to be a component of Waypoint and commonly owned with it. The stations are in one common navbox. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 06:20, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong/speedy merge. I created that category many years ago when Pembrook Pines was still an independent company and it hasn't been updated since they went out of business in 2014 (though I will note that the Pembrook Pines stations are being spun off to another company, Seven Mountains Media, if their sale closes this year—but either way, an update is many years overdue).

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Royal Order of Monisaraphon
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD and likely WP:PERFCAT)
The Royal Order of Monisaraphon is a general purpose award from Cambodia with the stated purpose of honoring "literature and the fine arts, education, justice, administration, and science". The 7 articles in this category look very different though: three were given as diplomatic souvenirs to foreign visitors (1, 2, 3), three were given to Cambodian royalty who are already under Category:Cambodian royalty (4, 5, 6), and one was a foreign minister of Cambodia who is already under Category:Foreign ministers of Cambodia (7). None seem even remotely defined by this award. The category contents are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:10, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Mila Dimitrijević Award winners
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD approaching WP:TRIVIALCAT)
English Wikipedia doesn't have a main article on Mila Dimitrijević Award. I looked at the first 5 articles and, while none even mention the award in the text, it's a Croatian award for performing artists. The off Wikipedia coverage is pretty sparse as the top 2 Google search results are Wikipedia. I copied the category contents right here so no work is lost if anyone wants to find reliable sources to create a main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:10, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
