Category:Education fraud by country

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: rename to Category:Education fraud. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only two categories in here, which is not super helpful for navigation. There's not a parent category for Education fraud, so I think that this category should be repurposed Mason (talk) 23:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2C with Category:18th-century clergy from Bohemia; was opposed at speedy in spite of there being an extremely recent consensus on this Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_10#Category:Bohemian_clergy Mason (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Following the discussions at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 16 and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 20, ethnic categories should be reserved for individuals who are identified as Arabs in reliable sources, rather than being used as containers for countries.

Rename Category:Fictional rampage and spree killers to Category:Fictional spree killers
Nominator's rationale: This new name would not only be shorter, but also parallels well with its real-life counterpart, Category:Spree killers. AHI-3000 (talk) 19:32, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete and merge those with "Jedi" in the title to Category:Jedi. Some of the categories are already empty at time of writing. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Every category in this nomination contains only 1 article. They are categories for Star Wars book series where the individual book articles have been merged/redirected to the now only remaining article. Mika1h (talk) 18:28, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:American people by state or territory. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 20:43, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This would fit with both parents Category:American people by location and Categories by state or territory of the United States, and other recent consensuses to use "by state or territory" including Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and other insular areas. – Fayenatic London 16:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support per nom. It helps with navigation and seems unnessary to isolate the non-states. Mason (talk) 22:19, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Fayenatic london, I think it would also make sense to merge Category:American people by location to Category:People from the United States by state. The former contains categories of people from Washington, D.C. and the insular areas and also contains categories which are present in the latter. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't agree about a full merge, as "by location" also includes subcats for regions and populated places, but some content can be moved. As for insular areas, they have their own hierarchy, and I would like to modify my nomination to including Puerto Rico and other insular areas where there is not enough content to make an "insular areas" category useful. – Fayenatic London 12:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, that makes sense. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:37, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fictional Chinese people. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:35, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge for now, only one article in the category. This nomination is without objection to recreate the category when multiple articles about fictional Manchu people are published. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:10, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Also add Category:Fictional Black British people directly to Category:Fictional people by ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Merge to Category:Fictional British people by ethnic or national origin instead. All these categories belong there. AHI-3000 (talk) 11:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • No they don't, this is about characters' own etnicity, not about ancestors' nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    What's the distinction between ethnic ancestry and national ancestry? You're the one who arbitrarily gutted this category of its subcategories. AHI-3000 (talk) 19:05, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Since this category has been deleted/merged, then I alternately suggest to merge Category:Fictional British characters by descent into Category:Fictional British people by ethnicity. AHI-3000 (talk) 05:35, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • It is not about their ethnic ancestry but about their own ethnicity. A Jew is a Jew by himself (ethnicity), while someone in a Jewish descent category has Jewish ancestors but is not a Jew by himself. That is a big difference. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:47, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. There is no need to merge to Category:Fictional people by ethnicity because the subcategories are already deeper down in that tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:59, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: upmerge for now. There's no other categories in the parent, so this doesn't help navigation Mason (talk) 05:30, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
