Category:Gorizia and Gradisca

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. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 00:30, 7 April 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT and add article Princely County of Gorizia and Gradisca as the main article in the header of sub Category:Gorizia and Gradisca people. Note that the Princely County of Gorizia and Gradisca was a tiny subdivision of the Habsburg Empire. Marcocapelle ( talk) 23:03, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Category:Earthsea locations

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 Category:Earthsea locations to Category:Earthsea. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:39, 3 April 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: This category only includes one single article and is unlikely to include any more. JIP | Talk 22:17, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Support - No need to have a category for a single article. If and when other articles are written it can be re-created. Anomalous+0 ( talk) 09:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Category:Earthsea. @ JIP and Anomalous+0: why would you remove it from that hierarchy? – please note that "delete" removes an article from all parent hierarchies, and "merge" is often more desirable. (In this case, there is no need to merge it also to the other (grand)parent Category:Fictional locations, as the member page is already within Category:Fictional forests.) – Fayenatic London 16:53, 27 March 2019 (UTC) reply
    @ Fayenatic london: Dang. You are quite right. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to get your knickers in a twist. ;) Apparently my poor old brain doesn't always perceive the need to explicitly call for a "Merge" when there's only one article in the category. Somehow it just doesn't register, whereas the presence of multiple articles or subcategories apparently crosses some kind of neurological threshold! :-) Anomalous+0 ( talk) 07:25, 28 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Category:Pages to import images to Wikidata

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: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 April 7#Category:Pages_to_import_images_to_Wikidata. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 00:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Category contains many, many non-free images which may not be imported to Wikidata (P18 only allows images from Commons), but which can not be cleared from this category either. Basically, the vast majority of pages in this category don't need (are not allowed to have) the "maintenance" it is intended for. (Of course, Wikidata maintenance categories belong on Wikidata, not here, but that is a different discussion.) Fram ( talk) 12:41, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: rename, more accurate description of what is in the category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:34, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:32, 6 April 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories, and per the Foo user templates convention within Category:Userboxes. I considered nominating the 12 subcats for upmerging (it would bring the total number of pages in this category to ~100, which is not nearly enough to justify a dozen splits) but was not sure if others felt it was a useful way of organizing the category. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 04:12, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Category:Upcoming films by language

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. The precise intent is unclear, because the only category listed is a {{ container category}}, but the rationale refers to (but does not quote) a previous CFD which involved a container category and its subcats. A query was also raised about whether the numerical effect claimed last time still stands.
So this discussion cannot be considered a consensus to do anything. Please feel free to make a fresh nomination which a) lists and tags all the categories which are proposed for merger, and b) sets out clearly what the rationale is, rather than just pointing towards a previous discussion.

Nominator's rationale: Propose merging per the same rationale as the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 13#Category:Upcoming films by genre. Category:Upcoming films is a temporary category and should be treated as such, per Bearcat's argument in that discussion. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ( ping me) 16:38, 17 March 2019 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: category was not tagged - I assume this is meant to apply to all subcategories too, so {{ doing|tagging}}  tagged
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, DannyS712 ( talk) 01:56, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, it seems that the rationale of the previous discussion ("Even if all of these were merged, it would be less than 200 articles.") no longer holds, because there are currently more than 900 articles in the parent category. The nomination would add again several hundreds of articles. It is very doubtful whether this is going to be properly maintained. So basically this comment is questioning whether the parent Category:Upcoming films should remain in place. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:05, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Could you list all of the categories that would be affected? I ran a category about a specific language for upcoming films that is not listed here. Liz Read! Talk! 02:59, 5 April 2019 (UTC) reply

Category:Charles Goodyear Medal recipients

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:20, 1 April 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD ( WP:NONDEFINING)
The Charles Goodyear Medal is awarded each year to a scientist for improving rubber technology. The biography articles in this category do tend to mention the award but in passing with other honors. so it doesn't seem defining. Those articles are already well categorized in Category:Tire industry people and/or Category:Polymer scientists and engineers. The recipients are already listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:21, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Background We deleted a similar and partially overlapping Rubber Science Hall of Fame category, here. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:21, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:19, 1 April 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD ( WP:NONDEFINING)
The Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame started giving out this award in 1990 and also gives out two other awards every year. Many of the recipients were active in polo decades earlier as they catch up and the articles are already in the Category:Polo players by nationality tree. The biography articles in this category do tend to mention the award but in passing so it doesn't seem defining. The recipients are already listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:20, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment/Question - I don't know anything about the world of Polo playing, so I am wondering if there are other awards that are similar in stature -- and whether we should perhaps factor that in. If this is the only "world-class" award -- which appears to be the case from a quick look at what's listed in Category:Polo -- it might possibly be a valuable category in terms of highlighting who the best polo players have been, for people like me who otherwise wouldn't have a clue. Anomalous+0 ( talk) 02:12, 25 March 2019 (UTC) reply
@ Anomalous+0: With a lot of nominations, I see one award clearly be more prominent in the biography articles but that is not the case here. Maybe that's because polo was only briefly at the Olympics due to cost and that's usually the defining one for less common sports. From my perspective, I don't think Wikipedia should pick a winner though if no awards is apparently defining in a field/sport. If this passes, the articles will still reference the list in the main article; we're just removing the category and, who knows, if some of these awards later become defining over time, we can re-evaluate.
