The result of the discussion was: merge and delete. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 01:19, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 9th century, and this Tkhaba-Yerdy Church stands in a place that wouldn't become part of "Russia" until the 19th century, and it is also far outside the 9th-century territory of Kievan Rus'. I guess we could still group it as Category:Medieval Eastern Orthodox church buildings in Russia. "9th-century architecture in Russia" can then be Deleted as an empty cat.
"9th century in Kievan Rus'" is also a Smallcat with just 1 item, Siege of Constantinople (860), and that just doesn't belong in either the category trees of Kievan Rus', Russia, or Ukraine, because these three states didn't exist yet (as far as we know, Kievan Rus' was only founded around 880), and this event didn't even happen there, but in, well, Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. One could argue for upmerging to Category:History of Kievan Rus' if we presume Kievan Rus' to have been founded several decades earlier, but we don't need to, because it is already in its sub-sub-sub-category Category:Rus'–Byzantine wars. Soo... just Delete.
The result is that "9th century in Russia" becomes empty and can be Deleted, while "9th century in Ukraine" retains only 1 item, Great Moravia, which could be upmerged to Category:Medieval Ukraine, but is already there, so this cat can be Deleted as well. That should clean up a lot. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:34, 30 July 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: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 01:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 9th century. Ironically, the only item in this cat, Kievan Rus', is one of the alleged "predecessor states" of modern Russia. Vladimir-Suzdal emerged out of Kievan Rus' in the mid-12th century, Muscovy emerged out of Vladimir-Suzdal in the late 13th century, and the Tsardom of Russia emerged out of Muscovy in the mid-15th century. If anything, what would later be known as "Russia" was established "in Kievan Rus'", not the other way around. We could theoretically also merge to Category:9th century in Kievan Rus', but it wouldn't really make sense and still be a Smallcat, so let's just Upmerge to Europe.

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 01:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 8th century. At the earliest, there might perhaps have been a "Rus' Khaganate" in 839, but there is great controversy and uncertainty over whether this ever existed, and if so, where it was located, with Staraya Ladoga (the only item in this cat) just being one of many possible locations. But the latter predated the former by almost a century, if the former existed at all. Let's just Upmerge to Europe. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:14, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Canadian stage actor stubs

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: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 01:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category of unclear utility. As always, stub categories require 60 articles before they may be created, but this only features 30 -- and although it might be possible to repopulate it by going through the parent to search for stragglers, it's not at all clear that doing so would actually be a valuable use of anybody's time.
Especially in modern times, actors rarely if ever only do stage work, but quite commonly do stage and film and television acting, so using the stub system like this would require most actors to be double-tagged for Canada-stage-actor and Canada-screen-actor at the same time as each other.
The larger issue of whether the stub category tree really needs to curate any category segregation between Category:Stage actor stubs and Category:Screen actor stubs at all is probably worth discussing at another time, but I'm not proposing it for discussion here and now -- but at the very minimum, this subcategory isn't needed for only half the minimum required number of entries.

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: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 01:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category without evidence of approval by WikiProject stub sorting. As always, stub categories have a minimum bar of 60 articles before they may be created, and thus require approval from the WikiProject before their creation is permitted -- but this features just 27 articles, and there's no evidence that its creation was authorized at all. The template is fine, but should just sort its entries into the parent categories rather than having its own dedicated category. (Upmerging to Category:Canadian building and structure stubs not needed, as everything here is already in an appropriate provincial subcategory of that.)

Nominator's rationale: This seems to have been created with some confusion about what the categorization guidelines are, as it fails WP:NONDEF. Games that have anime characters or cutscenes, i.e. that are simply influenced by the anime art style, are not major enough to categorize compared to ones that have been directly based on a specific show or manga. The creator has also been indef blocked for disruption. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 15:29, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, follow-up on this discussion which is still open. Zoroastrism and Germanic paganism have virtually nothing in common apart from being a religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Please see WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and WP:CATDEFINING. These categories do not contain any stand-alone articles about instances of controversy. Most of the included pages are biographies of comedians deemed controversial; the only non-biographies are Jay Hind!, The Closer (2021 film) and Seven dirty words. gnu57 01:53, 30 July 2023 (UTC) Missed one. gnu57 10:24, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, she thought it was utter nonsense that a relationship between a Norwegian boy and a Pakistani girl would still be "controversial" in 2005 after Pakistanis and Norwegians had been living together in the same country for over 30 years and there had been numerous cross-cultural romantic relationships.[11]:13:19 To reinforce her point, she kissed the then female Culture Minister present, Valgerd Svarstad Haugland, on the mouth (Haugland (Christian People's Party) had been campaigning for gay rights for years);[12] then she showed her bare bottom in front of the entire audience and then said, "Now that's controversial!"[9] She added, "I want to show that in Norway you can do such things without being lynched or arrested."[3]
So, according to stand-up comedian/author Shabana herself, her act of mooning the crowd was "controversial" (and would have fitted in Category:Obscenity controversies in stand-up comedy), but she didn't think there was anything "controversial" (whether "obscene / race-related / religious") about a Pakistani girl and a Norwegian boy having sex in her book, although some critics did. Whether it was "controversial" for her to publicly kiss the Culture Minister on the mouth (Shabana and Valgerd both being women) is yet another matter of opinion. It might have been controversial back in 2005, in Norway, according to some people in the audience, but not necessarily other people, elsewhere, at other times. Moreover, times change. How do we account for that in categorisation? I don't think we can. Therefore, we should delete all these categories per WP:NPOV. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think WP:OPINIONCAT is mainly about categorizing biographies by a certain opinion, i.e. advocates of opinion X, opponents of opinion Y. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:51, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: "Anga Region" is not a region of India. The category page describes the page as a list and links to Anga, which was an ancient Indo-Aryan tribe of eastern India whose existence is attested during the Iron Age. No mention of "Anga Region" or "Anga" in the articles. The temples do not have any connection to the Iron Age tribe. —Alalch E. 11:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
