Propose deleting Category:Physician and comedian (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by intersection of unrelated traits. As always, the category system is not a tool for making lists of absolutely any intersection of traits that happens to describe two or more article topics -- just because some arbitrary number of people can be found who happen to have been both physicians and comedians (either at the same time or at different times in their lives) is not in and of itself a valid basis for a category. And even if there were a valid basis to keep this, it would still have to be renamed for accordance with Wikipedia's naming conventions for categories (i.e. pluralized) anyway. Bearcat (talk) 23:57, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree with Nominator. This category is not Notable OrewaTel (talk) 01:38, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Disagree with Nominator. Highly notable people are both, usually a doctor becoming a comedian. It is also an unusual, notable choice. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 02:21, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This information is most interesting. The best way to make it available to the reader will certainly be to write a list article of doctors who have been comedians, per the guideline on Categories. Place Clichy (talk) 10:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it is an unusual combination, but trivial from an encyclopedic point of view. These people are notable as a physician, or as a comedian, or both, but not because of the combination. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, trivial category. Similar categories such as Polymaths were deleted repeatedly with a wide consensus: 2013 January 20, 2007 December 29. WP:SNOWBALL may apply. Place Clichy (talk) 10:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CROSSCAT. - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:11, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Deborah Carlos-Valencia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a person without a sufficient volume of spinoff content to warrant an eponymous category. There are just two things here besides the eponym herself, which is nowhere near sufficient to justify an eponymous category. Bearcat (talk) 23:52, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator seems correct. I thought I was doing the right thing to create this to link the two organizations she founded, but reading the link in the nomination, I am inclined to agree with the nominator. CT55555(talk) 23:58, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:FPJ's Ang Probinsyano cast (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: WP:PERFCAT for the cast of a television series. As always, we do not categorize actors for individual acting roles they may have had, as this would result in extreme category bloat as we added a category for every television series, and a category for every film, that they were ever in.

Propose deleting Category:Namesakes of San Francisco streets (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCTRIVIA. Having a street named after someone is "unrelated or wholly peripheral to the topic's notability." User:Namiba 23:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability OrewaTel (talk) 01:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. It is a category that is relevant to local history. Disagree with respect, User:Namiba: San Francisco's streets were named after specific people **with specific intent**, over time. It is a historically notable distinction for people like Gaspar de Portolá, John D. Sloat, etc. The Wikipedia page for California_State_Route_1 explains it's named for Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo and that's appropriate and even expected, for the same reason. Repeater-reclaim (talk) 20:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is interesting but irrelevant for categorization. This is about whether people in the category are defined by having a street named after them and that is obviously not the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom as trivial. That's typically the kind of thing you would expect to find (if sourced) at the bottom of an article, in a section on homage received that may include the list of streets named after a person. In the other direction, a list of streets in San Francisco with links is also possible. Category? No. Place Clichy (talk) 20:25, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Feels more akin to WP:SHAREDNAME to me, but definitely not defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:56, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Residents of 10 Downing Street (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete as overcategorisation by address. 10 Downing Street is perhaps the best known address in the UK but shared addresses are overcategorisation. Note also that this is technically the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the two posts have not always been held by the same person. In addition several post holders did not actually reside in Number 10 for various reasons, with some using existing London homes and others swapping with other ministers due to family requirements (e.g. Tony Blair resided at Number 11 which has a larger flat more suitable for a couple with several children). Timrollpickering (talk) 15:04, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, too much overlap with the prime ministers category. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I was expecting a cat or two might have been added. It's particularly silly to add the whole of the topic category Category:Tony Blair (etc) as this adds all sorts of non-people to a people set category. Oculi (talk) 21:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It simply comprises a list of Prime Ministers. If it included all the spouses, offspring and pets, it might serve a purpose but then I'd say it would not be notable. OrewaTel (talk) 01:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The rational does not make sense at all. The category is following the List of residents of 10 Downing Street, not a list of prime ministers. Several of the residents were never Prime Ministers or Lords of the Treasury. The list includes residents from the 17th century, and several civil servants who were granted the residence. Dimadick (talk) 15:30, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then let it be a list. That will certainly be better for user navigation, completeness of information and presentation of reliable sources, things that a category cannot guaranty. Place Clichy (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Categorizing people by the various street addresses they lived at is not a good idea. Wait, it's a famous address? Well, that's just because it is famous for PMs who lived there, who should be categorized as PMs. Other residents should be mentioned in the list article, the accidently-acquired additional notoriety is certainly not defining. BTW I believe that most governmental buildings in the old capitals of Europe (and maybe elsewhere) were (with exceptions) not purpose-built and have a history prior to their present use. This prior history will be better presented at the article about the building. Place Clichy (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Fictional women soldiers and warriors to Category:Fictional female soldiers and warriors

Nominator's rationale: Consistency with parent Category:Fictional females and other Category:Fictional females by occupation categories. Although inconsistent with other women categories, in case of fictional characters "female" is more inclusive and preferred because not all fictional characters are human. There have been depictions of females from other species. --Wahspsneh (talk) 23:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, this would create inconsistency with the parent Category:Women warriors. It would probably be better to move the subcategories to "women". Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding nom's latter comment (just added), even in rare cases of fictional soldiers not being human, if there is a verifiable gender distinction then surely the characters are humanoid enough to refer to them as men and women. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support not all are adults, "women warriors" should instead be "female warriors", since child soldiers is a thing. -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 05:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All should be adults because the category is currently named "women". In fact this is an extra argument for keeping it to women, in order to prevent overcategorization of fictional girl soldiers who are just fine in Category:Fictional child soldiers. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The proposed rename to "female soldiers and warriors" sounds grammatically better than "women soldiers and warriors". And as someone else stated, it would also be inclusive of non-adult characters.--AHI-3000 (talk) 20:04, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose — move all the subcategories to "women". Since at least 2008, this has been affirmed repeatedly. Under Category:Gender, the pattern is fairly simple:
1. Category:Female is only biology and sex.
2. Category:Women are Category:People: by location, by occupation, and everything else.
3. Category:Fictional characters are under Category:People.

Comment@Fayenatic London: I want to question if your rationale for proposed merging or deletion also applies to the last category listed here: Category:Shops in Lagos. From my observation, compared to the other categories you nominated for merging or deletion, this category happens to be the only one which has a subcategory Category:Shopping malls in Lagos that also contains several articles. What's your take on this? :Eruditescholar (talk) 17:57, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Right, Category:Shopping malls in Lagos should not be deleted but moved up into Category:Retailing in Lagos and Category:Tourist attractions in Lagos. It's already in Category:Commercial buildings in Lagos, so does not need to be in "Buildings and structures". – Fayenatic London 18:19, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Gothic Architecture in Lagos to Category:Gothic architecture in Nigeria

Nominator's rationale: This is a WP:SMALLCAT with only two pages. Broadening out to the national level would allow the Neo-Gothic National Christian Centre to be added. – Fayenatic London 10:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
