Category:Turkish female radio singers

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. I will also add Behiye Aksoy, Semahat Özdenses and Hamiyet Yüceses to the other parent Category:Turkish radio people, but the radio aspect does not seem so defining for Safiye Ayla, Zehra Bilir or Kudsi Erguner. – Fayenatic London 20:43, 10 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Not defining. Many singers appear on the radio - and in other places. I dont think there are any other radio singer categories. Rathfelder ( talk) 18:41, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • There are a few others, enough to populate Category:Radio singers (with no subcats). Oculi ( talk) 22:06, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Are there any singers who dont appear on the radio? Its not something they have any control over. Rathfelder ( talk) 21:29, 29 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom and nominate sibling categories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:58, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge. In theory I can sort of get what a radio singers category is trying for — looking at the American equivalents, what I see is the kind of singers who performed live on old-time radio shows in the 1920s and 1930s, not just any and every singer who gets songs onto the radio in the 21st century. But that's an incredibly opaque distinction, not at all obvious to the casual user, and it's nuzzling right up against the edges of being a WP:PERFCAT violation. I've bundled the Turkish male sibling here because it's equivalent and has only one person in it, but I will nominate the American ones separately. Bearcat ( talk) 12:11, 2 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I'd name two different reasons why singers don't appear in the radio (formerly called 'airplay'): a) economical and b) political reasons. The American history of music industry is full of stories about success by corrupting money sums for radio chain owners/presenters. And the Turkish history (at least in the Erdogan era) is full of stories about musicians that are locked out of media airplay. Wait, didn't the US McCarthy era blacklist musicians as well? And also in Orban governed Hungary all media are for some years owned by gov loyal people -> no media airplay for critics. AFAIK only radical Muslim states like Iran or Afghanistan prohibit women to be public singers which is more extreme than lock them out of radio/TV airplay. -- Just N.

  • Oppose The blacklisting or banning of musicians from radio airplay justifies to have a seperate category for 'radio singers'. Indeed, radio airplay (even if it has still own charts!) has lost a lot of influence in our times of soaring streaming services. But in media history radio singers have played a huge public role. Encyclopedia is about facts and history provides those facts!. We should eventually even create some new categories for "!radio banned/blacklisted musicians by country". Even the BBC blacklisted a lot in history.Very defining! -- Just N. ( talk) 12:54, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • The defining characteristic in that case is that they were banned, rather than that they were specifically radio singers. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:08, 5 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Singers banned from radio stations would be much more defining. Rathfelder ( talk) 16:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Category:LGBT directors by nationality

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. – Fayenatic London 20:24, 10 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Several categories that were recreated within two days of the closure of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 September 27#Category:LGBT directors from the United States just last week. But this is still WP:OCAT by triple intersection of sexuality, occupation and nationality, which is permitted in some specific cases (politicians, writers, etc.) where the intersection is actually meaningful in and of itself or where the category is extremely large and needs subcategorization for size management purposes, but this doesn't fit either of those criteria -- being an LGBT director isn't meaningfully different in the United States than it is in Canada or Australia or France or the United Kingdom, and LGBT occupational categories are not routinely subcatted for nationality across the board.
Note that reupmerging entries to Category:LGBT directors is not needed, as all LGBT directors have already been subcategorized for the film vs. television vs. theatre distinction; however, some caution may be needed in some but not all cases to ensure that deletion doesn't remove anybody from the appropriate "LGBT people from [Country]" tree. Bearcat ( talk) 16:10, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - clearly an attempt to recreate categories (under different names) very recently deleted at cfd. Oculi ( talk) 16:51, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, creator of these categories (who has been notified of this discussion) recently has also created and populated quite a few other triple intersection categories within the LGBT tree. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:20, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply
They aren't necessarily all problematic, for the record. Some of the categories in question (e.g. Category:Gay writers, Category:Lesbian writers, Category:LGBT writers from Canada, Category:LGBT writers from the United States) were getting large enough that diffusion was becoming necessary on size management grounds regardless of the definingness or non-definingness of the intersection itself — the difference here is that the parent category is already well-diffused on a more useful point of distinction, so diffusing by nationality is just superfluous, but that's not necessarily the case in all of the creator's new categories.

Nominator's rationale: Per longstanding consensus, Wikipedia does not categorize people by the place where they died. Bearcat ( talk) 14:51, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, if people pass away in the place they live they should be in a "People from" category, whereas if they pass away in a different place it is usually a trivial characteristic (e.g. the place where they have a heart attack or the hospital where they are dying). Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:15, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nominator. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:28, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete We don't categorize people by where they died or where they're born. Thepharoah17 ( talk) 22:24, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom. If eventually Philippine journalists or homicide detectives need such table cats they should build them not in Wikipedia. -- Just N. ( talk) 13:12, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Category:Serbian pop-folk singers

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: rename to Category:Serbian folk-pop singers. – Fayenatic London 20:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Turbo-folk seems to be in Serbia what is called pop-folk in other places. Most of the articles are in both categories. Rathfelder ( talk) 10:06, 7 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I'm fine with renaming, but the whole categorization is a mess. Half of those people are just very classic folk, some in advanced age or already dead. Folk-pop is a barely sourced stub, to which someone added unsourced section "Balkan region" defining it "pop-folk" is an umbrella term for genres of Balkan popular music that blend pop, folk, and ethnic music. – term used by who, exactly? There's probably one person ( Željko Joksimović) that I'd unambiguously call "folk-pop" (Eurovision favorite genre). No such user ( talk) 12:56, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Categorisation of music by genre is really difficult. I've listened to some of these and I wouldnt call any of them pop-folk. Rathfelder ( talk) 22:25, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 17:57, 7 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: The name of the article has already been established at an RM. The editor who created these categories moved all the articles in Category:University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and its subcats to them. Given the same editor has just moved the article against the decision of the RM (ergo I moved it back), this is clearly not uncontroversial enough for a speedy. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 09:10, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply
