The result of the discussion was: Rename Timrollpickering (talk) 10:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
List of around 70 categories for Deaf and Deafblind
  • Rationale: opposed speedy on the grounds that 'Deaf' (uppercase) might be preferable (see eg Deaf culture). I have no views on deaf/Deaf but am opposed to the present name. Oculi (talk) 19:44, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Copy of speedy discussion
  • Oppose So I personally don't have a problem with these renamings or the use of identity first language, but I suspect that others from the disability community might have some concerns with some of these renamings. Mason (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Clarification, I think that this should have a full discussion rather than a speedy for all the disability related categories Mason (talk) 22:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • The vast majority of disability related categories use the adjective already: see eg Category:American people with disabilities. These are nationality categories, nothing to do with language. Oculi (talk) 13:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        Some of these renames alter the capitalization of d/Deaf, which some members in the d/Deaf community might find problematic. I still oppose the speediness of these disability related renames. Mason (talk) 02:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Smasongarrison: "deaf" is already the default, e.g. Category:Male deaf actors and Category:Fictional deaf characters. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          @Smasongarrison: Or Category:Lists of deaf people where 'deaf' occurs throughout. Can you at least withdraw your oppose to Category:People with disabilities from the Solomon Islands, for which you have given no rationale whatever? And what is the objection to the 'blind' renames? Oculi (talk) 13:32, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          I'm happy to withdraw my concerns related to the non-d/Deaf renames. I'm merely requesting that the d/Deaf renames be moved to a full discussion. I understand that the naming convention isn't fully consistent, @Marcocapelle, but this is an area of debate that I think that WP:DEAF would probably be interested in discussing. Mason (talk) 15:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          This seems reasonable: Deaf culture refers to the issue. Oculi (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          Correct. I think it's also worth noting that the default naming style in seems to be "Deaf people from" if you look at the parent category "Category:Deaf_people_by_nationality". I think that the current naming style allows folks to sidestep the little d vs big D question. Mason (talk) 18:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          I shall move this to cfd shortly. Oculi (talk) 19:20, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Rage against the veil protests deaths of women to Category:Deaths in a protest against hijab
Nominator's rationale: Weird name apparently reflecting deaths related to wearing compusory hijab. Other suggested name is possible. Brandmeistertalk 12:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Rage against the veil protests to Category:Protests against hijab
Nominator's rationale: Weird name apparently reflecting protests against compulsory hijab or possibly other Islamic dress. The subcategory is also up to renaming. Brandmeistertalk 11:56, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American gay actors

The result of the discussion was: procedural keep (abandoned by nominator). Nominator never tagged category. Nominator has withdrawn (below). (non-admin closure) William Allen Simpson (talk) 18:08, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories such as Category:American gay actors, Category:American lesbian actresses, Category:American bisexual actors are completely unnecessary and redundant. LGBT people by occupation from any country in the world should not be segregated by individual sexuality. For example, many pages in the Category:American bisexual actors still also have the Category:American LGBT actors included in the category section and there cannot be both. The obvious solution is to remove one of them. Another example is, some categories like Category:French gay actors and Category:French lesbian actresses only had at least one or two pages in them and also included Category:French LGBT actors in the page. Again, we can’t have both. I created Category:Gay film actors, Category:Gay television actors, Category:Gay stage actors, etc as a subcategory to the Category:Gay actors page. I apologise if my edits came across as disruptive but Category:Gay actors by nationality and Category:Lesbian actresses by nationality should not be there for all the reasons I’ve listed above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovanni 0331 (talk • contribs)

Nominator's rationale: The current name is ambiguous and could be perceived as a category combining hardcore techno and hardcore punk + other possible variants Solidest (talk) 22:51, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only one article in 1866 in American sports doesn't need to be under two layers of subcategories. Merge to 1866 in Wisconsin and 1866 in American sports. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete Timrollpickering (talk) 10:44, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Lone article states that he coached in Ingleside, but has no claim that he is "from Ingleside, Texas" (in fact he was born elsewhere), therefore this category should be deleted. –Aidan721 (talk) 06:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cultural depictions of criminals

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 10:43, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Time to continue cleanup we did at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_August_11#Category:Cultural_depictions_of_people. Cultural depictions=depictions=works based on/about. If we go down the subcategory, we end up at Category:Cultural depictions of Adolf Hitler which has Category:Novels about Adolf Hitler‎, a part of Category:Works about Adolf Hitler. So this needs renaming/merging and we should also rename/merge all child categories, as this "cultural depictions of" tree just duplicates "works about" one.

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate of Category:Wikipedia substituted templates. I'd weakly support a redirect, but it doesn't seem particularly plausible. Clyde!Franklin! 00:26, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
