Category:11th-century rulers in Al-Andalus

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 just second as per nom..
Nominator's rationale: All people in this category are already called/categorised as "emir" of a taifa, or sometimes in the case of Zaragoza, Granada and Valencia "king", the English equivalent of "emir". al-Mu'ayti is a doubtful case, called "ruler" and "caliph", but I think "emir" also covers it. The child Category:11th-century caliphs of Córdoba should probably become a sibling, because a caliph isn't really a kind of "emir". The parent Category:Rulers of Al-Andalus should be renamed Category:Monarchs in al-Andalus rather than "of", because al-Andalus was not a "country", and "monarchs" is more WP:CATSPECIFIC for emirs and caliphs than "rulers". Grammatical point: 'al-Andalus' should be written with a lowercase 'a' unless at the start of a sentence. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:42, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:09, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C parent Category:Countries and territories by official language, recently renamed siblings about German, Greek, Portuguese, Azerbaijani, Hungarian, Somali, and Tamil, and many, many more. Also WP:C2D per main article List of countries and territories where Afrikaans or Dutch are official languages. Currently, countries and territories where Afrikaans is an official language (which according to the infobox at Afrikaans seem to be South Africa, Northern Cape, Western Cape, City of Cape Town, and Namibia) are not included in the category, and do not have their own category. The current category scope is limited to Dutch per parent Category:Dutch language, and I recommend to keep it like that. At Talk:Dutch language#Official language of the Netherlands, Austronesier and I have so far not been able to reach consensus on whether Dutch is an or the "official language of the Netherlands", but for the time being Netherlands can stay in this category until agreement is reached. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:43, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT, playing in the NFL has nothing to do with playing rugby. A similar category was deleted in 2020 by consensus. A follow-up discussion on this one led to no consensus. User:Namiba 16:39, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:13, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 July 11#Category:7th-millennium BC people, which resulted in "no consensus", but a suggest[ion to] start a new nomination just focusing on the earlier categories. Alright, here it is. Barum Woman is the only item in Category:7th-millennium BC people, and Minnesota Woman is the only item in Category:6th-millennium BC people. Minnesota Woman is also already in target Category:Human remains (archaeological). The dating of these prehistoric women's lives is so difficult and wide-ranging that not even millennia can be accurate categories for them. And as we know nothing about their lives except from what can be (re)constructed from their archaeological remains, that is the appropriate category, and we should take them out of these inaccurate and unhelpful millennia categories. The previous CfM was unhelpful in suggesting Category:Ancient people as a target, because Ancient history is generally considered not to begin until c. 3000 BCE. And however vague the datings of the Barum and Minnesota Women are, they definitely lived and died at least 2000 years before then, so 'ancient' doesn't really apply to them.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Veo cómo cantas (Spanish game show). (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per form of parent Category:International versions of I Can See Your Voice.
Note: In May 2023, TelevisaUnivision has formally named Veo cómo cantas as the Mexican counterpart of I Can See Your Voice[1][2] that originated from the Spanish counterpart of the same name.[3]

Category:A-Class Johnny Depp articles

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: speedy delete per WP:G5. Besides the consensus in the discussion, these categories were created by a sock puppet evading his block. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Cluster of badly-formatted class-rating categories for a Wikiproject, none of which have any articles filed in them at all -- instead, they were curating lists of talk pages as text, which is not at all how this is done. Categories such as this must be transcluded by the use of class and quality assessment code in the Wikiproject template, not by listing talk pages on the category page in text format or by directly adding the category to the talk page itself -- but the newly created ((WikiProject Johnny Depp)) features no such category-generating code at all.
The categories, further, were listing a lot of extremely wrongheaded pages that wouldn't be appropriate for inclusion in Johnny Depp project categories even if they were properly formatted: for instance, the list in the GA-Class category included the likes of Talk:Aerosmith, Talk:Al Pacino, Talk:Benedict Cumberbatch, Talk:Bob Marley, Talk:Keith Richards, Talk:Michelle Pfeiffer and Talk:Patti Smith, and the C-Class category listed things like Talk:Alfred Molina and Talk:Cannes Film Festival -- i.e. anybody or anything that has any tenuous or tangential connection to Johnny Depp at all, regardless of whether that connection does or doesn't have any importance to the other topic's article whatsoever. But that's not how WikiProject categories work either: Bob Marley doesn't belong in a Johnny Depp category just because Johnny Depp once owned a portrait of Bob Marley; Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't belong in a Johnny Depp category just because they were once castmates in a movie, and on and so forth. (Can you even imagine if we tagged every actor's biographical article as being under the auspices of a dedicated WikiProject for every other actor they had ever been in a film with, and every film festival as being under the auspices of a dedicated WikiProject for every individual actor who ever attended it because he was in a film screening there? No, just absolute no.) So I can't justify adding the appropriate code to the project template to properly populate these categories either, because the overwhelming majority of the pages in the lists wouldn't even warrant the template anyway.
It's questionable whether a WikiProject Johnny Depp (itself newly created within the past two days by somebody who clearly didn't know what they were doing, and didn't go through the proper process for launching new WikiProjects to get any guidance on how to do any of it correctly either) is even necessary at all, if it needs to commandeer Bob Marley and Benedict Cumberbatch and Keith Richards just to have articles to oversee, but that's a question for a different forum than CFD -- but even if it is maintained, project categories should only be created by people who actually know how to do that properly, and how to correctly assess what articles belong in the tree.
