Category:Medieval European scribes

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 * Pppery * it has begun... 23:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There's no need to narrow this category to only European scribes. The sibling category, "Category:Ancient scribes" doesn't constrain themselves to a single continent. Mason (talk) 01:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In fact Category:Ancient scribes contains only Egyptian, Greek and Near-Eastern subcats, so is "constrained" to the Mediterranean. Johnbod (talk) 18:15, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't constrained, someone could still be added to the main category of Ancient scribe if they were from somewhere outside the mediterranean. But "Medieval European scribe", does not allow someone from medieval egypt to be added. Mason (talk) 02:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose They are in fact all European, & there is no harm in helping the reader by saying so. Other traditions are in the extensive tree under Category:Medieval calligraphers. Btw, the Irish ones (nearly all authors who wrote out their own books) represent about 50% of 80-odd in the category, & should have their own sub-cat. Johnbod (talk) 03:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But is european+medieval scribe a meaningful intersection? I don't see how it helps readers to exclude non-european medieval scribes. Mason (talk) 19:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One might drop the "medieval", as there are no "scribes" in Europe after the Renaissance, and "medieval" is not a term that works or is used for eg East Asia. Or one might drop "European" for that reason, but hoiw does that help anyone? The current category is a useful definition of a distinct tradition & function. Johnbod (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which scribes are being excluded? I see Category:Calligraphers of the medieval Islamic world, which could possibly contain articles that would fit "Medieval scribes". Those ones, at least, seem pretty discoverable where they are. Are there others? -- asilvering (talk) 01:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Johnbod: when I wrote "I am not sure" I said I was not sure about your response. And you haven't answered my question why scribes need to be excluded from writers. "It is clear from the cats above that the "writers" tree is for authors," -> No that is not clear, in fact categories above have nothing to do with the question. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't mean you - you are not the nom and not supporting the proposal anyway. Authoring and copying are two very different activities - you might as well categorize scriveners and court reporters as judges. I have explained why your suggestion to delete (also with no other support) is based on more than one misunderstanding. Imo too many discussions are being rolled-over ad infinitum.asilvering, are you actually a "Keep"? Johnbod (talk) 14:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Johnbod I don't particularly care either way, but I guess that's a weak keep. -- asilvering (talk) 15:44, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Oklahoma did not exist before 1907 so there are no 19th century mayors of places in Oklahoma. There are 19th-century mayors of places in Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 00:06, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: French Quebecers constitute the vast majority of Quebec residents and have since the first settlers arrived in the 17th-century. As such, this category fails WP:EGRS. Moreover, most of those in this category have no claim to French ancestry in their biography and have been placed in it without evidence, making it a major problem for WP:BLPCAT.

Note, we already have Category:Quebecers of French descent. Anyone with demonstrably French descent can be placed there. There is no purpose for this category otherwise.--User:Namiba 14:44, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This whole tree is problematic. This is the (incorrect, IMO) description of Category:Quebecers of French descent: "This category lists Quebecers of French descent who are not francophone or whose first language is unclear. For Quebecers who known to be francophone see Category:French Quebecers."--User:Namiba 14:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Development of specific works * Pppery * it has begun... 23:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not sure how many articles used to be here, but a single article does not a category make. This should probably be removed as it is no longer relevant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Category:Development of specific works - I found one additional article for this category (Development of Bugs Bunny). However, that would still be too small of a category. Creating this category, however, would allow it to contain other articles such as Development of the DC Extended Universe, as well as allow it to be a parent to both Category:Production of specific films and Category:Development of specific video games.

Category:Kirksville Osteopaths football seasons

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: Keep * Pppery * it has begun... 01:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 page in category. Let'srun (talk) 20:36, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This was a 30-year college football program; there will be more seasons that are notable and will be created in the future; there is also an accepted categorization scheme that all college football teams with seasons should have categories. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:51, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"potential for growth" is no longer a valid reason to keep. –Aidan721 (talk) 23:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And WP:CFB does not make the rules of WP:Categorization. –Aidan721 (talk) 23:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What part of that page, specifically, does this violate? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did they have any perfect seasons or seasons with some other extraordinary feature. For smaller programs like the Osteopaths, I've been limiting my season creation work of late to seasons of clear, lasting sigificance. Cbl62 (talk) 20:31, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cbl62: Seems they had two undefeated years, albeit a 4–0 1912 and 1–0 1913 – they also had 6–1 seasons in 1916, 1921 and 1927. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:23, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I created 1900 Kirksville Osteopaths football team (played Missouri) and 1921 Kirksville Osteopaths football team (played TCU). We now have five articles in the category. Let'srun, will you withdraw the nomination? Jweiss11 (talk) 18:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it is now appropriately populated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:12, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fictional potatoes. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article/subcategory here that is actually properly categorized, and they're also in another category within the same group. Unnecessarily specific category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to Category:Tubers in popular culture - that should be a better name for the category. (Oinkers42) (talk) 18:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There is not even a Category:Vegetables in popular culture, only a Category:Works about plants; making one specifically for tubers would seem a little overspecific. I'd support a merge to "works about plants" though. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I mean, there is enough for a category, I just only chose that title to make it clear with Mr. Potato Head being in there. (Oinkers42) (talk) 20:09, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:10, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: the intent is to make it clearer that these categories are for individual people, and not topic categories, per WP:SEPARATE. Categories named with adjectives are always ambiguous. Place Clichy (talk) 15:08, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Energy industry in North Rhine-Westphalia
  • Propose deleting Category:Power stations in North Rhine-Westphalia
Nominator's rationale: merge, neither of the parent categories are diffused by state level. Merging is not needed, the articles already are in appropriate subcategories of Category:Energy industry in Germany and Category:Power stations in Germany respectively.

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 14:23, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There are only categories by country in here, (and the parent category Asian fashion by region only contains this category). It's not helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 05:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:46, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCYEAR: avoid creating a category tree of individual by year categories with very few members, So for example, instead of grouping by year, group by decade. And then diffuse the by decade categories by year only when necessary. This tree doesn't need to be diffused by year for the nominated categories.

Upmerge for now. I don't really understand Place Clichy's argument, categories are to help navigation, this category isn't large enough to help navigation. It doesn't really matter that Nightclubs by city is a coherent tree. Mason (talk) 01:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The argument is that these categories, and the articles in them, won't be any more in Category:Nightclubs by city under the proposal, and that doesn't help navigation IMHO. Place Clichy (talk) 09:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But Category:Nightclubs by city consists of large enough cities anyway, not every city. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:03, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably cities associated with nightlife, and there's no reason to remove Belfast and Dublin from that. Alright, I don't feel strongly enough about that one to fight over it, but I wished to record this opinion. Place Clichy (talk) 10:12, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
