Category:Contemplated enlargements of the European Union

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: Purge and then no consensus on what to do afterwards. Since nobody likes the current name and Marcocapelle's proposal (Category:Accession to the European Union by country) has received the most support, I'm renaming to that as a bartender's close. Any further proposals to upmerge, delete, or switch to the original name can be brought to a new CfD. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:03, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Contemplated enlargements of the European Union to Category:Potential enlargement of the European Union
Nominator's rationale: C2D per Potential enlargement of the European Union. Charles Essie (talk) 18:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The articles are not about applicants though, but rather about the process towards application or membership, so this alt 3 name isn't quite accurate. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:11, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. It's a mixture of applicants and bilateral relations. That's not good. Rename to alt 3, purge the remainder and create a new category for them. What do you think? Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Laurel Lodged: as said before, the articles about bilateral relations should be purged because they have a category on their own. We just need to find a category name for the "Accession to the European Union" topic articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:43, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:English chronicles

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:16, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: More WP:CATSPECIFIC. What all items have in common is that they are chronicles written in English (be it Old English, Middle English, or Early Modern English), with England (the Kingdom of England) as their topic. Category:Chronicles about England has been created as a parent, Category:Latin chronicles about England and Category:Anglo-Norman chronicles about England have been split off as siblings. Follow-up to recent renaming of Category:English manuscripts to Category:English-language manuscripts, as well as a follow-up to recently renamed siblings:
Category:French chronicles to Category:Chronicles about France (which has children such as Category:French-language chronicles about France, Category:Latin chronicles about France);
Category:Lithuanian chronicles to Category:Chronicles about Lithuania (most of which are written in German, Ruthenian, or Latin, not Lithuanian);
Category:Polish chronicles to Category:Chronicles about Poland (which has children such as Category:Latin chronicles about Poland).

The result of the discussion was: Purge and then No consensus on what (if anything) to do after purging. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:38, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Reading through the list of articles and redirects in this category, it seems like this category is either unclear in its scope via its title or is not valid at all. At this point, I think WP:TNT applies. Steel1943 (talk) 20:03, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Purge, or else delete. Clearly something should be done with this category. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:18, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:18, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Region of Bengal
  • Propose deleting Category:Assam Bengal
  • Propose deleting Category:Eastern Bengal
  • Propose deleting Category:Greater Tripura Region
  • Propose deleting Category:North Bengal
  • Propose deleting Category:Northern Bengal
  • Propose deleting Category:Western Bengal
Nominator's rationale: WP:MADEUP labels that do not correspond to existing Wikipedia articles. All of the articles are already in at least one region-related category. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:21, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. The target may be nominated as well, but that is for another time. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:10, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge unless there is an article that could populate the category, then reverse merge due to that the other category in the target (Category:Books written by prime ministers of the United Kingdom) is also specific to heads of state. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:37, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:20, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is not useful, having only two subcats, and I did not find any others that would fit. If not merged, it should probably be renamed to Categories by head of state. – Fayenatic London 11:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:21st-century women prime ministers in Europe

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 Category:21st-century rulers in Europe as uncontested. Merge Category:21st-century women prime ministers in Europe and Category:21st-century prime ministers in Europe, since these two were specicially analyzed to be not part of a scheme. Keep the rest. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:30, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to "21st-century presidents in Europe", "21st-century women presidents in Europe". Indirectly WP:G4 per the 2010 "20th and 21st-century rulers" CfD, which led to the deletion of Category:21st-century rulers in Europe (since recreated), Category:21st-century heads of government in Europe, Category:21st-century monarchs in Europe (since recreated), and more.

Category:Swiss chronicles

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:26, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C parents Category:History books about Switzerland, Category:History of the Iberian Peninsula, Category:History books about Ireland, Category:Scandinavian history, respectively. Follow-up to recently renamed siblings:
Category:French chronicles to Category:Chronicles about France;
Category:Lithuanian chronicles to Category:Chronicles about Lithuania:
Category:Polish chronicles to Category:Chronicles about Poland.
The categories under this CfR are obviously not by language, but by topic. (Slight exception is Category:Irish chronicles, many but not all of which are written in Irish, but the category trees show it is not language-based). See also CfR of parent Category:European chronicles. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:06, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Swiss began to adopt the name for themselves after the Swabian War of 1499, used alongside the term for "Confederates" ... used since the 14th century. One of the advantages of "Swiss chronicle" over "Chronicle about Switzerland" is that in the former case it is clear that we are applying the adjective to the chronicle, but in the latter case it isn't clear if Switzerland is a concept found in the chronicle or just more retrospective classifying.

Nominator's rationale: delete, insofar applicable articles are already in Category:Zoroastrian texts. For other articles it does seem not to make much sense to have them together in a category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The word "related" seems unnecessary and is not common for similar entities. PS. I guess this should be a merge listing. The category tries to explain the difference: " are magazines about science fiction, devoted to media, criticism, news or other non-fiction content. If a magazine contains mainly fiction instead it is listed instead in the related category Category:Science fiction magazines" but I think this is superficial and hard to argue that a publication is just "related"; it seems like an arbitrary and ORish category.
