Delete. I confirm that all current members are in appropriate LGBT rights case law categories, so no merge is needed. –

Rename all per nom and per precedent. This is similar to the Dukes of Württemberg one below and same principle applies.

Upmerge all per the above. SMALLCAT applies.

Upmerge for SMALLCAT reasons. As the criterion is membership of a political party, it is a legitimate category, but the three have two members each, so that a single category can cover all six.

Nominator's rationale: In the 15th to 18th century the duke was the ruler of Württemberg, in the 19th century duke of Württemberg became a title for family members of the monarch of Württemberg. One category belongs in the rulers tree, the other category belongs in the nobility tree.

✗plicit 01:27, 23 October 2021 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale: Several past CFD's on similar categories for other political parties (e.g.
1,
2,
3) established a consensus that it is not desirable to categorize election candidates this specifically. Firstly, we don't even categorize sitting MPs for each individual session of Parliament they sat in, and there's no compelling reason to categorize non-winning candidates more specifically and narrowly than MPs. Secondly, unelected candidates for political office aren't notable for that at all, so a person will only have an article to file in any of these categories if they had preexisting notability for other reasons independently of a political candidacy (e.g. having previously served as a provincial MLA or mayor of a major city), meaning that they aren't
defined by each individual election they may have run in and lost. Thirdly, since people often run for office more than just once, this results in significant category bloat since each individual candidacy occasions another new category. Simply put, candidacy isn't significant enough to warrant subcategorizing them this granularly. (And yes, similar categories do still exist for some other political parties as well — but getting rid of them is an extended process, because there are too many to just batch them all together in one go.)

Merge per nom, if only because even Canadian MPs are not categorized like this.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 21:03, 25 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Certainly merge, rather than keep, BUT should we have these categories at all? Candidates who are elected should be in a MP category for each Parliament (which is what is done with UK MPs). Those candidates not elected are by definition of
WP:POLITICIAN NN (unless notable for other reasons) and should not have a category at all: thus delete?Peterkingiron (

Nominator's rationale: New editor has set up personal categories for themselves. User categories are typically to group editors together based on commonalities, editing philosophy, etc., not for each editor to set up their own set of categories for themselves.

Delete. I am actually speechless that after all these years Wikipedia has existed, we don't have a speedy deletion rationale for obvious cases like this. The user can keep track of personal stuff on a sub-page. ~
