Category:Wetlands of Pallisa 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: merge to Category:Pallisa District. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT. As always, things do not always need to be categorized all the way down to the "district" level right off the top -- this would be fine if there were five wetlands to file here, but is not needed for just one. There are only three things in the parent category Category:Wetlands of Uganda, however, and one of those three things is the same thing that's filed here (in defiance of WP:DUPCAT rules), which means that there's no prospect of finding four other wetlands to justify this category anytime soon.

  • Propose deleting Category:Members of the National Photoartists Union of Ukraine (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for a single person. As always, every organization that exists does not automatically get its own dedicated "members of" caegory the moment there's one past or present member with an article to file in it -- this would be fine if there were at least five people to file here, but is not warranted for just one.

Purging nationality categories from Arab people

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Artists by ethnicity and Category:Artists by nationality are two different category trees. Not all Iraqi artists are Arab artists, e.g. lots of Iraqi artists are Kurdish. Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 July 15#Arabs and Arab people. Test case for the disentanglement of nationality-based Category:Fooian people subcategories of the ethnicity-based Category:Arab people tree per suggestion made by @Fayenatic london. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Did I nominate this correctly? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have expanded the nomination and tagged more categories. – Fayenatic London 10:15, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I wasn't sure which ones to tag, and which ones to leave alone for now, so I decided to begin simple and check with you. I fully agree with your expansion. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:21, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I tagged all the above pages. – Fayenatic London 13:13, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is true. Though there is an alternative, namely to not categorize people by a majority ethnicity at all. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is a stretch because Druze and Kurds are an ethnicity of their own. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:32, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The Druze are often described as an Arab ethnoreligious group, i.e. a sub-group, including on our page here, but Kurds are admittedly a bit more of a stretch. I guess it depends on whether the majoritarian principle expounded above by Fayenatic exists. I don't have an answer to that. The possibility of adding in the sub-layer "People from the Arab World" suggested by Fayenatic also occurred to me as a possible workaround. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Dual merge per WP:SMALLCAT. Only 2 articles. User:Namiba 14:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, maybe not. Given the history of segregation in the US, it is likely that there are sufficient sources which discuss African-American artisans as a unique topic.--User:Namiba 19:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:20, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting Category:Fellows of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:V, WP:NONDEFINING & WP:OCAWARD
The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics article makes no mention of having fellows and the only article in this category, Petr Vaníček, makes only an unsourced mention of this award within a list of other fellowships so it doesn't seem defining. Normally I listify award categories before I ever nominate them, but there wasn't much to work with here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Geography of Europe. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:16, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:ARBITRARYCAT, follow-up to long series of precedents such as Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 June 7#Category:Northwestern European countries.
Upmerge all actual regions (e.g. Category:Geography of Ireland) to Category:Geography of Europe by region; and
Purge all countries (e.g. Category:Geography of the Republic of Ireland) because they are already in Category:Geography of Europe by country.
