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:Independence activists of the Brabant Revolution. – Fayenatic London 11:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per parent Category:People of the Brabant Revolution and to avoid confusion with the much later actual independence in 1830. I haven't listed this for speedy renaming for in case someone has a better alternative for "Belgian". Marcocapelle (talk) 22:52, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 11:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only two articles in the category. Merging is not applicable, the articles are already in other subcats of the parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:35, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Socialist rulers

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 (merge Category:Ba'athists). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:19, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alternative:
    • Propose splitting Category:Ba'athist rulers to
      Category:Ba'athist heads of government of Iraq and Category:Ba'athist heads of government of Syria
      • Propose renaming Category:Ba'athist rulers of Iraq to Category:Ba'athist heads of state of Iraq
      • Propose renaming Category:Ba'athist rulers of Syria to Category:Ba'athist heads of state of Syria
abandoned
    • Propose renaming Category:Ba'athist rulers to Category:Ba'athist leaders
      • Propose renaming Category:Ba'athist rulers of Iraq to Category:Ba'athist leaders of Iraq
      • Propose renaming Category:Ba'athist rulers of Syria to Category:Ba'athist leaders of Syria
    • Propose renaming Category:Communist rulers to Category:Communist leaders
Nominator's rationale: WP:ARBITRARYCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT. Category:Rulers is currently a child of Category:Sovereignty suggesting that "rulers" are sovereign. Some are not rulers, they were elected. Some are not socialists, or are distingished as communists. Most are in parallel related categories, not aid to navigation.

People depicted in music

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: keep Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, rename others to match. For the record, this outcome also fits with retaining "Cultural depictions" at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_February_11#Cultural_depictions.
The renamings are:
– Fayenatic London 11:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Nominator's rationale: rename and standardize all.
Option 1: "X in music" (which I slightly prefer for brevity).
Option 2: "Depictions of X in music".
Option 3: "Portrayals of X in music".
Option 4: "X music" (perhaps the worst option because it may suggest music by X).
Option 5: "Music about X" (matching "Songs about X" and "Films about X" but with music it sounds a bit strange to me). Marcocapelle (talk) 12:51, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose speedy There is no clear convention in Category:Music about individual people for the proposed format and I don't think C2A is applicable in any way. Armbrust The Homunculus 17:16, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Polish-Lithuanian office-holders names

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: keep. However, the first nine may be nominated for speedy renaming to lowercase per MOS:JOBTITLE; I am stating this in case anyone checks WhatLinksHere. – Fayenatic London 11:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Bundled nomination for renaming Polish-Lithuanian office-holders names, to make them consistent and shorter. Also I propose "Vice-Chancellor" instead of "Deputy Chancellor" as the one used by WP:RS Marcelus (talk) 17:00, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Lithuanian Field Hetman" was literally his title, that are well documented. Also he was Lithuanian because he lived in the Lithuanian state. Marcelus (talk) 09:30, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also those Poles, Ruthenians, and Ukrainians became (Little) Russians after they were conquered by the Russian Empire.[sarcasm] The Ukrainians themselves seem to have a different view, and seem willing to die for it. Note that we don't categorize Greeks or Egyptians or Britains as Romans after they were conquered either. That's why we have these detailed suffix standards. Keep them.

Category:AC using state parameter

The result of the discussion was: delete. Categories emptied. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:21, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:AC using state parameter to Category:Pages using authority control with state parameter
  • Propose renaming Category:AC using state parameter: collapsed to Category:Pages using authority control with state parameter: collapsed
  • Propose renaming Category:AC using state parameter: expanded to Category:Pages using authority control with state parameter: expanded
Nominator's rationale: Full name of the template and consistent with Category:Pages using authority control with parameters and Category:Pages with authority control identifiers needing attention. Gonnym (talk) 15:20, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All these are unneeded and in the process of being emptied and deleted. No point renaming at this stage. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 05:22, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 10:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In-keeping with Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 March 6#Category:Comedy video games, "comedy" is not a widely used theme or genre applied to video games. "Black comedy", as well, is an original research distinction, without common mention in reliable sources, and is not a "defining" characteristic in all articles I spotchecked within this category.

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 22:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no record of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As always, stub categories have a much, much higher price for creation than regular content categories do, and are not justified until there are at least 60 articles to file in them -- much below that, a stub template is only allowed to sort its entries into parent categories, like the proposed targets, rather than getting its own dedicated stub category. And for that very reason, stub categories have to be approved by the wikiproject, and are not free for just any editor to create at their own whim. So ((Manitoba-radio-station-stub)) should just go back to sorting its entries in the same categories it did until this got created in 2021, because there just aren't the numbers to justify a standalone category here.
