Category:Quantum electrodynamicists

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, merging content to Category:Quantum physicists. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Quantum electrodynamicist" is not a term normally used. Nearly all modern physicists accept Quantum ElectroDynamics, but this category is not useful or informative. Please stop adding physicists to this category until it gets wider acceptance. HouseOfChange (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • This term means a field of study, not a view. Similarily, there is a category 'Quantum physicists' which includes people working in the field; not every physicist works in it. --Tarnoob (talk) 21:24, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Order of Saint Michael

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: while there were users in favour of keeping these, I found that the arguments in favour of deletion far more accurately reflected the guidelines found in WP:OCAWARD (which is really a sub-guideline of the broader WP:NONDEF): "A category of award recipients should exist only if receiving the award is a defining characteristic for the large majority of its notable recipients". It's clear from how articles address these awards that this high standard has not been met in these cases. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:18, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not defining. Some of the many orders of chivalry awarded to heads of state, consorts and sovereign family members. They are rarely mentioned in the articles, and are certainly not regarded as significant. Rathfelder (talk) 19:16, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Category:Recipients of the House Order of Fidelity contains more than 200 articles and the article says there were more than 400 recipients excluding the grand ducal house. Are we talking about the same category? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • While that may be so, he was known as a naval aviator and a commander in the United States Coast Guard, not as an award winner. Regardless what is on his grave, it is not defining from an encyclopedial perspective. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:58, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Interesting, I look at those same portraits where they collect "chivalry" awards like stamps or Pokémon cards and think how absolutely irrelevant they are since it's usually just an inevitable result of being born a high ranking noble, which they generally are already categorized for. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:26, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, they are proud of them. Why is it that they are still given out by boat load, by every Monarch in the world. There is a famous quote by Napoleon: Give me enough medals and I’ll win you any war Here is a another one by Napoleon. Men will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon. I could spend between six and 12 hours, do some research and find some quotes by Prince Adalbert and his love of medals. Here is a page on [1] the Kaiser, a relative. Look at the busts. They have the medal carved in the busts. scope_creepTalk 12:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The comment about "collecting" these chivalry awards on portraits cannot be more wrong. The Saint Michael collar was the only collar ever worn over ecclesiastical dress in French monarchy times. Of course the orders of Saint Michael and of the Holy Spirit were awarded to people of a very high social status, but the opposite is not true: the order was very exclusive with a limited number of knights, like the order of the Garter, and few people even of high birth could expect it.

Category:Lionsgate Television drafts

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: merge. I too thought there was no categorization scheme for drafts. Perhaps a discussion about these categories would be in order. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:54, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Does not need a separate page as the link Legendary Television is a redirect to Lionsgate, as there are currently 2 entries. Starzoner (talk) 17:13, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
lol mistake. Please retract this. Thanks. @2pou: Starzoner (talk) 18:19, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:39, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Sony covers lots of topics, not just films and television shows. Its subsidiary Sony Pictures deals with them.

Entirely composed of tb and films, this isn't just a Sony draft article, but strictly a Sony pictures category Starzoner (talk) 17:09, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:38, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT and in the spirit of WP:C2F, the only article is about Isa Khan Safavi or Isa Khan Shaykhavand. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:00, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:37, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING because almost all podcasts are "talk" podcasts. The genre is more relevant to radio shows. A discussion to move the category to "Unscripted podcasts" led to the problem of WP:X or Y. Prior discussion at the Wikiproject. TipsyElephant (talk) 13:23, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:36, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging
more categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: delete, this is an almost empty category layer except it largely duplicates the tree of schools. There is no other country with a tree like this. If this merge goes ahead, I will nominate the education buildings by district as well, it suffers from the same problem. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:01, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:32, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one or two articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intermediate category Rathfelder (talk) 10:15, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:31, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It's clear that the club's article mainly discusses the football team, and as a results it's not necessary to include footballers in the category's name instead of players. Also to match other sports clubs in the continent mainly known for their football team such as Category:Al Ahly SC players and Category:C.D. Primeiro de Agosto players.

Propose renaming

Requesting the name of these categories to be changed to match the parent article Raja CA. All should have their name changed to include Raja CA instead of Raja Casablanca. Ben5218 (talk) 05:33, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ben5218 (talk) 15:21, 10 January 2021 (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: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The page did not meet WP:GNG. The mother article Miss Grand International was salted and deleted multiple times via consensus. Other related pages to this pageant were also deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss Grand International (3rd nomination).

Nominating also for bundled deletion:

Category:Touhou Project Main Series

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. I checked the contents, and all of the articles were already in Category:Touhou Project games, so there was no merge that was required. I'll leave implementing the rest of what was discussed to Zxcvbnm or Marcocapelle. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:24, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Touhou Project Main Series to Category:Touhou Project main series
Nominator's rationale: Incorrect capitalization, as "main series" is not a proper phrase, but a descriptive one. — Goszei (talk) 01:12, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That seems needlessly complex compared to just deleting this category and making a new one, then moving the necessary games over.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:26, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • At least it should be merged rather than deleted. From there we might also create a new subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:50, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • As far as I can tell the category is a total overlap so there is nothing to merge. If there is something to merge, of course, merge it.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was unaware of the existing video game spin-off catscheme – I support this solution as well. — Goszei (talk) 04:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also support this solution (regardless of how exactly it is carried out on a technical level) as the standard way of categorizing game series with spin-offs and off-shoots.--AlexandraIDV 08:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Charlemagne Prize

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: upmerge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:26, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT
This category only contains two articles and I'm not sure they belong together:
1: Charlemagne Prize: A prize for European integration issued by Aachen, Germany starting in 1950.
2: European Charlemagne Youth Prize: A youth prize for European integration issued by the European Parliament starting in 2008, but named after and coordinated with the earlier prize.
The two articles already cross-linked and I can't imagine a potential 3rd, 4th or 5th article so the growth potential here is limited. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Genesis Prize
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Genesis Prize laureates
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD & WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The Genesis Prize is an Israeli award given to "Jews who have attained excellence which they attribute to Jewish values". The articles for winners like Mayor Michael Bloomberg, actor Michael Douglas, Kraft Foods CEO Robert Kraft, and musician Itzhak Perlman mention the award in passing with other honours so it doesn't seem generally defining. Most of the award's coverage is around the large purse (US $1 million) which is typically re-donated by the winner. The contents of the category are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
