  • Propose deleting Category:North Carolina Tar Heels women's basketball head coaches (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: unnecessary category that does not fit the standard naming convention seen in every other category in Category:College sports coaches in the United States; see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 January 22#Category:California Golden Bears women's basketball head coaches Joeykai (talk) 22:36, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Evangel Christian Academy alumni. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:04, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This appears to be the only Category on Wikipedia for student-athletes at a specific high school. All of the pages in this category should just be moved to Category:Evangel Christian Academy alumni. Even if we were to start making categories for high school student-athletes by school (which we obviously shouldn't), this isn't formatted correctly. It should follow the format in Category:College athletes in the United States by team, which is Category:[School] [Mascot] athletes. So it would be Evangel Christian Eagles athletes, not "Evangel Christian Academy players." Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 21:12, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Manually merge Anime Matsuri into Category:Conventions in Texas as well. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:28, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – There has been 3 conventions in the past 100 years. Are we really going to keep this category because another page might get created in 30 years? Sure there's potential for growth, but it's not realistic in the next few years. Seems foolish to allow this to be an example of "realistic potential for growth". –Aidan721 (talk) 15:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just added 4 from Category:Conventions in Texas. Houston is one of the largest cities in the entire country, which is why it had a very realistic potential for growth.--User:Namiba 03:29, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: New nonsensical category including disparate things such as sex comedies, "adult animated films", and Adult Swim. —Alalch E. 14:41, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: manual merge & delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category only applies to certain Tamil and Telugu sex comedies. Such films from outside these cinematographies are not described as "adult comedy flms". It's also a euphemism. —Alalch E. 14:39, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:NZHPT historic areas register

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 "Heritage New Zealand". (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:13, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:C2D match parent Category:Heritage New Zealand, remove register, do not add "list" which has a specific meaning in categories.
speedy discussion
  • Category:NZHPT historic areas register to Category:Heritage New Zealand historic areas register – C2D. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as proposed. Heritage New Zealand no longer uses the term register, and now uses the term list, so the category name should become Category:Heritage New Zealand historic area listings. Paora (talk) 11:34, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:NZHPT historic areas register in the Bay of Plenty Region to Category:Historic areas in the Bay of Plenty Region
  • Propose renaming Category:NZHPT historic areas register in the Canterbury Region to Category:Historic areas in the Canterbury Region
  • Propose renaming Category:NZHPT historic areas register in the Wellington Region to Category:Historic areas in the Wellington Region
Nominator's rationale: WP:CATNAME: Do not write the category structure in names. While WP:SMALLCAT (1, 1, 2 respectively), these are able to grow.

  • Oppose as proposed. This category is for historic areas on the Heritage New Zealand list for the particular region, and the parent categories use Canterbury, New Zealand, so the category name should become Category:Heritage New historic areas in Canterbury, New Zealand.

  • Agreed. As noted for the other nomination on this page, WP:CATNAME: Do not write the category structure in names. So these would begin with "Historic areas". Fixed.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:52, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose changed proposal without Heritage New Zealand in the category names. IMHO, this is a misinterpretation of WP:CATNAME. Without the "Heritage New Zealand" prefix, the scope of the category has suddenly become much wider, as it would include any areas considered historic by anybody, not just those designated by Heritage New Zealand, which is the intended scope. Paora (talk) 08:32, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Maybe, but that's not our standard. We won't make fine distinctions between a parent and some other organization that designates historic areas. Categories are for navigation, not attribute tags.
      William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:02, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Actually, it is our standard. WP:CATNAME is clear: Choose category names that can stand alone, independent of the way a category is connected to other categories. If we do as you suggest, then the sub-category will be broader than the parent category, so the categorisation becomes a nonsense. It should not be necessary to have to refer to the parent category to understand the scope of a given category, and the criterion that I have quoted above makes this clear. You have referred to the criterion Do not write the category structure in names, but if you continue reading you will see the example given is quite different from the situation here. Paora (talk) 09:16, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Subcategories with multiple parents will always be broader than only one parent. If and only if there are other local schemes for categorization, we'll be keeping them in the same category. The name should be as inclusive as possible. This is not an extended attribute tagging system from social media. This is for navigation.
