Nominator's rationale: A non-defining triple intersection of education level, nationality, and social status. User:Namiba 23:05, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-defining, we don't have any category for "literate" people other than American slaves. Also, who decides if somebody is or was literate? Too vague. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:08, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename. I believe the purpose of the category may have merit, a title like "American slave writers", "American freemen abolitionist writers" etc. I do agree with the concern that the triple intersection may be too much. LikeGrantTookRichmond (talk) 00:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moving/Renaming of all Categories related to Dixie State University/Trailblazers

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: procedural close. This proposal places the burden of figuring out how to proceed on the closer which, given the current backlog, cannot be actioned. Additionally, some renaming processes seem to be happening in parallel. (non-admin closure) JBchrch talk 21:11, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not wanting to do this individually, and still somewhat unsure of how to use to protocols for Twinkle.

Also not sure of the standardized procedure for Categories when an institution changes their name, but Dixie State University is now Utah Tech University and the Dixie State Trailblazers are now the Utah Tech Trailblazers and all of the categories related should be renamed as such.[1]

Notably, this *should* be the last major name change for a while, after YEARS of name changes, nickname, and mascot, color changes.

As shown, the previous name changes have reflected growth (Jc to 4 year, university status etc.) but this is essentially the first that finally eliminated the name "Dixie." It was controversial and a 10-30+ year process/argument over the word "Dixie" and confederate symbology, but with the Utah State Legislature finally making the call in November 2021 (official name of Utah Tech University announced then)[2]. Millions spent, the name change was put into effect in May 2022. (While July 1st is often referenced, it only coordinates to the fiscal year rollover for universities in Utah, meaning the "Legal" name change happens then. ALL materials, social media, athletic and academic recruiting etc. is happening under the new name[3]. They are unlikely to change anytime soon. This will be the first logical move since Wikipedia was created for many, while some may have been updated with "University" in 2013, and trailblazers in 2016)

Names: St. George Stake Academy (1911) Dixie Academy(1913) Dixie Normal College (1916), Dixie Junior College (1923) Dixie College (1970) Dixie State College of Utah (2001) Dixie State University (2013). Utah Tech University (2022)[4].

Nickname(often confused with Mascot): Rebels (1954) Red Storm (2009) and Trailblazers (2016)[5]

Mascots: Rodney the Rebel (1954, a confederate soldier) "Big D" (2009, a bull) Brooks The Bison (2016)[6]


Category:Dixie State University Category:Dixie State University alumni Category:Dixie State University faculty Category:Dixie State University people

While they have played under many names, none of the other names/mascots are reflected in categories, so all should be moved to current usage categories, while individual pages can specify if they went to (Dixie Junior College) etc. If necessary.

  • @LikeGrantTookRichmond: it is a good faith nomination indeed, but it will not be processed when you do not list your proposal properly (see plenty of examples on this page) and if you do not tag all categories that you are nominating. Also, removing some text from your rationale may well help getting more reactions on the merits of the proposal. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:33, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Looking at the parent category, there are simply not enough articles which fall in one but not the other to justify two separate categories (I count barely half-a-dozen: 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7). It thus makes very little if any sense to have two categories, which are both included on nearly all affected articles, but which are in effect redundant. Thus we should get rid of this per WP:OVERLAPCAT and merge back the few entries that are not in the parent. The other solution, which would be to separate the parent by gender; would fall afoul of WP:SMALLCAT as the category for women would only have very few entries with very little potential for growth.

  • @Fayenatic london: I have no objection to that in principle, but in practice many article are already (or belong) in a by-nationality subcategory of it, so then it should be handled manually. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:37, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijani descent

The result of the discussion was: Merge excluding Armenian and Georgian. – Fayenatic London 06:36, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge and remove headers, according to the headers the nominated categories are used for full Azerbaijani descent while the target categories are supposedly for people of partial Azerbaijani descent. But nowhere else we have a distinction between full and partial descent. The distinction would not make much sense either, ultimately all descent is partial. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:43, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I removed those two from the merge nominations. But the headers of the category pages should still be changed. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:11, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not understand the example. Category:Soviet Azerbaijani people may refer either to the people of the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan or to ethnic Azerbaijani in the Soviet era, that is not clear at all due to the overlap. The far majority in Azerbaijan are ethnic Azerbaijani. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Only after the pogroms drove out the Armenians in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union. You are trying to impose a system developed for European ethnic groups that had migrated to the Americas on the Caucuses, and it just does not work the same way in that situation. You are also ignoring what I actually said. A Ukrainian Azerbaijani who dies in 1989 would have never lived in a seperate nation than where he lived. The current categories are much better for the things than what you are proposing to change it to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whether you like it or not (you obviously do not and I can understand that), the descent categories are used for exactly the same purpose. A fork is not helpful here. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Podcast miniseries to Category:Miniseries podcasts
Nominator's rationale: Every other category in Category:Podcasts by format and Category:Podcasts by genre uses the format "<format or genre> podcasts". TipsyElephant (talk) 13:19, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @2pou: I put Category:Podcast miniseries within Category:Podcasts by format because it seemed more like a format than a genre. We could potentially create another parent category called Category:Podcasts by release type, but I think for now that might be excessive because I can't think of many other release types. Maybe Category:Weekly podcasts, Category:Monthly podcasts, Category:Single release date podcasts, or something along those lines, but again that seems potentially excessive? As far as the criteria goes, I generally feel comfortable including things in categories if I can find reliable secondary sources that refer to them as such or if I'm certain they would meet the definition of the category. In this case, I would include a podcast in the category if the podcast had a planned start and end date (not because the show was unexpectedly cut short) with roughly a dozen episodes that make up a single season (maybe more if reliable secondary sources still refer to it as a miniseries). For instance, Floodlines has eight episodes in one season, S-Town has seven episodes in one season, Timber Wars has twelve episodes in one season, The Realness (podcast) has six episodes in one season, and Boomtown (podcast) has twelve episodes in one season. There are sources that use the terms "miniseries podcasts" and "limited series podcasts", but as usual the sourcing for podcast related topics are sparse. For instance, the Webby Awards has a category for best limited series podcasts and the Ambies at least acknowledges the existence of miniseries podcasts in their rules.[7][8] Discover Pods, ScreenRant, and Image.ie have all published listicles of podcast miniseries or limited series.[9][10][11] The podcast platforms Player.fm and Podyssey.fm both have categories for limited series podcasts and there are more platforms with lists like these, but I'm unsure whether they are user-generated.[12][13] I'm sure there are some more sources out there, but this is what I've found so far and I think it's enough to warrant a category. As far as the naming convention goes, I would expect the category to follow the same conventions as the rest of the podcast specific categories. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:59, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • It appears that podcasts can also contain miniseries, which makes this confusing. For instance, Dissect (podcast) has done three miniseries in addition to the regular podcast. Similarly, the sources I've already cited point to specific seasons of podcasts as miniseries, such as season 3 of 30 for 30, season 2 of Headlong, and season 2 and 3 of Slow Burn (podcast), and a five episode run by You're Wrong About. I suppose we could restrict inclusion to the category based on whether the podcast in its entirety is a miniseries and if a podcast's miniseries were to ever become notable spin it out into a separate page that can be included in the category. Or we just include any podcast containing a miniseries, but that sounds like it would get messy really quick. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Lists of association football international goals by player. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:54, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Lists of goals scored by nation-leading international footballers to Category:Lists of international goals by association footballer
Nominator's rationale: Multiple:
  1. specify association football; other codes of international football exist in which goals are scored
  2. not restricted to "nation-leading" e.g. List of international goals scored by Bobby Charlton has been surpassed by List of international goals scored by Wayne Rooney
  3. Matches name format of relevant articles
  4. Standard naming for Category:Categories by parameter puts the parameter in singular not plural

I could live with Category:Lists of association football international goals by player instead; it's is a little easier to parse but rather verbose. jnestorius(talk) 10:33, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
