Nominator's rationale: Bolivian award, after checking at eswiki I can confirm that it appears to be awarded mostly to foreigners. None of the articles I checked do more than briefly mention it. Not at all defining to Konrad Adenauer, Haile Selassie, Jimmy Doolittle, or to the Bolivian recipients such as Germán Busch or Enrique Peñaranda. (t · c) buidhe 20:23, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
While the majority of the total number of awards might be issued domestically, the majority of notable recipients appear to be foreign. WP:OCAWARD guides us to look at the latter: "A category of award recipients should exist only if receiving the award is a defining characteristic for the large majority of its notable recipients." - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:32, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The award actually has been given to many notable Bolivians who have dedicated articles including many Bolivian presidents. The issue is that many of those articles simply do not have the category (and lack many other categories). I am currently working on organizing and adding categories to Bolivian articles and I intend to add this category where applicable if it is kept. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 22:55, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The one person in this category had Czechoslovak citizenship and is already categorized in Category:Czechoslovak assassins. I doubt there is potential for expansion as a check of the cswiki category indicated that all died before the establishment of the Czech Republic and would have had Czechoslovak or Austro-Hungarian citizenship. The Czech Republic since 1993 is not a place known for political assassinations. (t · c) buidhe 19:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Egyptian award, does not appear to be defining in either pre- or post-independence variants. For both foreign recipients such as Archibald Wavell, Yuri Gagarin, or George Walter Grabham as well as Egyptian recipients such as Amr Moussa, Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, etc. the award is just listed with others.

Nominator's rationale: Mexican decoration awarded (exclusively, it seems) to foreigners. Not at all defining for Mahathir Mohamad, Josip Broz Tito, Walter Schwimmer, Carlos Echeverri Cortés, Jared Kushner, Nelson Mandela, etc. I did not see it more than mentioned in any bio.

  • Comment: RevelationDirect: I appreciate the rapid listifications, but in this case the new list seems to duplicate the list that was already there? Furius (talk) 21:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Partially, yes. There was already 1 list of royalty in one format and 3 separate lists (presidents, politicians & other) in another format. I added third format "by class" which contains both some overlap and some additional articles. Ideally, we would have one list (in the format of the royalty one) that you could sort by whichever column interested you: class, year, country, title etc. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:53, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:47, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: The Indian state of Jharkhand was created in late 2000, seceding from Bihar. The MLAs in these categories represented constituencies which are now part of Jharkhand, but were at the time part of Bihar. These 3 categories are anachronisms, because they wrongly label these MLAs as sitting in the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly at a time before that body's creation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(t · c) buidhe 06:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that it would be preferable to start with individual nominations for the lesser awards and move up the list, as consensus allowed! - RevelationDirect (talk) 20:16, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is one way of doing it, I suppose, but really the opposite of what I was asking for, which was to do all the Soviet awards in one place. Furius (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"None of them more than mention the award" Again, that's because the Soviet biographies DON'T MENTION the non-defining awards at all. Being mention shows that it's defining. Russian biographies don't elaborate much and are very concise, but one mention doesn't mean an award isn't defining. This award was often the highest award someone ever got, and was awarded for the highest accomplishment in their career. You expect the articles to mention it multiple times? Do you really think that getting the second highest soviet civilian award ISN'T inherently defining? This is going to create an absolute mess. If we can't have a category for the 2nd highest Soviet civilian award, why have any Soviet award categories at all? Heck, why don't you go nominate heroes of the soviet union for deletion because a bunch of Russian wikipedia articles only briefly mention the award. Your idea of "defining" is increadibly narrow and attacking wikipedia! In many biographies, this category is the most important one! For gods sake, go pick on some American medals now and then.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Eugene M is an active and productive editor of Russian Wikipedia on the subject of award recipients, where he obviously has demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter far better than most people here, ergo his opinion is worth listening to. Just because he mostly edits Russian wikipedia doesn't make is comments irrelevant.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 22:00, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Nondefining Soviet award. People like Leonid Brezhnev, Josip Broz Tito, Ivan Konev etc. are known for being allied military leaders not for receiving the award. Checked ruwiki and it looks the same. (t · c) buidhe 06:02, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: 55,000 awards mostly to Polish resistance fighters. These people are noted for being resistance fighters, not for this specific award. Articles I checked don't treat it as defining. (t · c) buidhe 05:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List everyone with a Wikipedia article that was awarded it? What will we do when the content gap from Russian and Polish Wikipedia is closed and hundreds upon hundreds of people are to be listed? Just makes more sense to add a name to a category after creating a new article instead of adding to a bazillion lists.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 20:47, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(I've never been to CfD before, so I hope I'm doing this correctly.) This whole scheme is unnecessary subcategorization. There are a total of seven articles in the assorted subcategories of Category:Greensboro Pride, five of which are in Category:Greensboro Pride football coaches (which deserves keeping). Of the other categories, "men's soccer coaches" and "men's basketball coaches" each contain one page, and the others contain only subcategories. There's really no need to have all these subcategories when the two articles there can just be in the overarching category (Category:Greensboro Pride).

I read the CFD#HOWTO, but I'm not really sure where this fits. Article Eblaite is the sole entry in Category:Semitic language articles needing translation from French Wikipedia. This article has a ((Expand French)) template at the top, and this template categorizes the article in this case into Category:Articles needing translation from French Wikipedia, and is capable of categorizing articles into categories that are similary named. For example, the template would categorize it into Category:Geography articles needing translation from French Wikipedia when the |topic=geo parameter is passed to ((Expand French)). But that is not the case here, and "Semitic language articles" category is the result of someone manually adding that category to the bottom of the page at Eblaite. Given that no other member exists in the category, maybe it should be deleted, or perhaps merged? If someone can do the right thing, I'd appreciate it, and please ping me so I can follow along, and that might help me for next time. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:03, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
