Nominator's rationale: It appears that several months ago,
Away Inn tried to nominate this category for deletion with the rationale: None of these five languages is Kurdish. In fact, none of them is even indo-Iranian as the Kurdish languages. These languages are all variants of Aramaic which is a Semitic language. This page is misleading since it portrays these Judeo-Aramaic languages ( see Judeo-Aramaic languages ) as Kurdish. There is already a category of Judeo-Aramaic languages - hence, this category should be deleted. The rationale is entirely correct, and I agree with the deletion. (

c) buidhe 17:03, 24 April 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep because these languages are/were spoken in Kurdish areas where Jews lived and created there own dialects and sub-languages, such as (from the articles themselves):
Hulaulá language: "Trans-Zab Jewish Neo-Aramaic, also known as Hulaulá (lit. 'Jewish'),[2] is a grouping of related dialects of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic originally spoken by Jews in Iranian Kurdistan and easternmost Iraqi Kurdistan."
Lishana Deni: Zakho Jewish Neo-Aramaic[2][3][4] is a dialect of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic originally spoken by Jews in northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey in the lands west of the Great Zab." --> "The Great Zab or Upper Zab (Arabic: الزاب الكبير (al-Zāb al-Kabīr), Kurdish: Zêy Badînan or Zêyê Mezin, Turkish: Zap, Syriac: ܙܒܐ ܥܠܝܐ (zāba ʻalya)) is an approximately 400-kilometre (250 mi) long river flowing through Turkey and Iraq."
Lishanid Noshan": "Inter-Zab Jewish Neo-Aramaic[2][3][4] is a modern Jewish-Aramaic dialect, a variant of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic. It was originally spoken in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in and around Arbil between the Great Zab and Little Zab rivers."
NOTE: All the above quotes were from the introductions in the articles withing
Category:Judeo-Kurdish languages. Note also that many "Jewish" languages are hybrids of different languages and can be categorized as part of both, such as
Yiddish which is mainly a combination of High German and Hebrew as well other languages depending on where Jews lived. And like
Ladino a combination of Spanish and Hebrew as well as other languages and dialects depending on where Jews lived.

Delete Based on the list in the article, I added several non-head of state recipients to the category like
Heinrich von Heß,
Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, &
Massimo Stanzione but maybe I shouldn't have because they don't even mention the award. (
Edmund Waterton mentions the award in the lede but is an outlier.) The vast majority of the category contents for this Catholic/Papal award are heads of state as the nom describes, which generally mention the award as part of a long list of honours. -

Keep. This is the highest award of the Kingdom of Spain, and is often awarded to foreigners (including royals) for whom I agree it would be non-defining. But as a category for Spaniards it is comparable to
Category:Knights of the Garter for the UK or
Category:Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients for the USA... though I expect you have those in your sights too.

@
Opera hat: Even if we assume that Spanish recipients are defined by the award (which we respectfully disagree on), about 2/3 or 3/4 of the category contents are foreign recipients like
George V,
Albert II of Belgium, and
Emperor Akihito. In contrast,
WP:OCAWARD is looking for a "large majority" to be defined by the award to have a category. -
RevelationDirect (
talk) 18:03, 24 April 2021 (UTC)reply
On the list of Knights, on the English-language Wikipedia of course it is more likely that foreign heads of state will be blue links (and therefore present in this category) and native Spanish knights will be red links (and therefore absent). But that need not be the case forever.

JoelleJay (

Keep. The
Order of the Golden Fleece is literally one of the most prestigious and oldest orders of chivalry, just as renowned as the
Order of the Garter. The notion of "majority" cited in previous comments established a dubious equivalence between the way the category is populated and the actual recipients of the award. Among 21st-century recipients of the Spanish branch of the Order, at least
Adolfo Suárez,
Javier Solana,
Víctor García de la Concha and
Enrique V. Iglesias are notable recipients which are neither royalty or foreign heads of state, and all their articles mention the award prominently. There are recipients of similar value at any other period of history. This seems pretty defining to me.
Place Clichy (
talk) 22:32, 26 April 2021 (UTC)reply
None of those pages features the award prominently at all, unless a one-sentence mention is now considered "defining". The supporting citation in each one isn't even IRS.
JoelleJay (
talk) 01:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)reply
@
JoelleJay: Under this rationale all or nearly all categories about orders and decorations would be deleted. By definition most people are awarded such decorations because they are primarily known for something else (although not just because of their birth as the nomination seems to imply, by amalgamation).
Margaret Thatcher's article merely mentions the Order of the Garter en passant, I guess that the same rationale would therefore make you consider the Garter as a non-defining order of chivalry. These citations are easily verifiable and I don't think any good faith editor would challenge the fact that Adolfo Suárez was awarded the Golden Fleece. The main point here is that the part of the nominating rationale saying that it "Seems to be mostly awarded to royalty due to their positions" is plain wrong, and the rest of the rationale is debatable.
Place Clichy (
talk) 22:21, 28 April 2021 (UTC)reply
Then I suggest you nominate them, with your usual rationale that they have been awarded to royalty and heads of state. I even suggest that you make a bundle nomination with all recipient categories of all orders so awarded. Most of them are much less notable and defining that the present nomination.
Place Clichy (
talk) 05:51, 29 April 2021 (UTC)reply
Bundled nominations have often ended in "No Consensus" because editors correctly point out that there are differences between the awards. Collectively these noms are hitting different awards from different areas so no single country is being singled out. -
RevelationDirect (
talk) 12:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC)reply
"Under this rationale all or nearly all categories about orders and decorations would be deleted." Yes, the whole point of
WP:OCAWARD is that we allow award categories only in exceptional situations. By far most awards face the paradoxal situation that notable people are not defined by the award while non-notable people who would be defined by the award do not have an article in wp.

Keep until or unless we get rid of the OBE etc., since this is the Spanish equivalent.
