Category:Byzantine queens consort

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 16:27, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING WP:ARBITRARYCAT. These royal women were not queens consort of the Byzantine Empire (as the name might suggest), they were just born in the Byzantine Empire and then moved abroad to marry a king of some other country. It is that other country which defines their queenship, their "job", not the country they just so happened to have been born in. (If the "Byzantine" part had been important, this should have been a subcategory of Category:Byzantine women by occupation, but it isn't, unlike Category:Byzantine empresses, Category:Byzantine women writers) etc.). Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk) 13:41, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. We already have Category:Byzantine empresses which suffices. This category is merely confusing. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:43, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete but the fact that this category isn't in an appropriate parent category is not a worthwile argument for anything. ★Trekker ( talk) 12:25, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Probably delete, but could potentially be retitled to reflect its contents: Queens of Byzantine origin or Queens of Byzantine nationality. Not particularly useful to separate the contents by those that are queens consort and those that are queens regnant—nearly all queens at this point in time will be queens consort, which would leave at best one large category and one small one—if there are any queens regnant at all—and the terminology is modern and seems jarringly anachronistic and hypercorrect in relation to the Byzantine Empire.

- Propose merging Category:Irreligion in the Arab world to Category:Irreligion by country
- Nominator's rationale:
WP:ARBITRARYCAT, there is no agreed definition of "
Arab world". The items should be merged to sibling
Category:Irreligion by country; the child
Category:Arab atheists should be re-parented to
Category:Atheists by ethnicity.
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 16:04, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Done the latter.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 11:27, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Support, apparently there aren't any overarching articles about the topic for the entire Arab world. Some sibling categories may be nominated for the same reason. Marcocapelle ( talk) 11:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- Striking vote per discussion below. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, as this forms part of
Category:Religion in the Arab world. –
Fayenatic
London 14:34, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- That may be, but there is nothing "Arab world"-specific about the children, which are all "by country" cats. "Arab atheists" is borderless as they can live anywhere in the world.
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 15:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe so, but the Arab atheists who are currently in the category are all within Middle East & North Africa.
- Anyway, my point is that it would be invidious to remove just one sub-cat of
Category:Religion in the Arab world. It would be better to have this discussion at that level, including
Bahá'í Faith in the Arab world,
Hinduism in the Arab world etc. As long as we have Category:Religion in the Arab world, it is positively helpful to be able to navigate between the 7 articles about irreligion in various Arab countries. –
Fayenatic
London 15:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out, that is true. Unfortunately it turns out to be another WP:CROSSCAT between ethnicity and nationality, so that just shifts the problem.
- I thought it would be easier to start with a relatively simple subcat to set a precedent, but that it may be viewed as unfair to nominate only one is something I can understand.
- Maybe a better solution is to simply alt merge to
Category:Irreligion in the Middle East? It has a main article
Irreligion in the Middle East and mostly the same contents already. We would have to let Morocco go, but that is already in
Category:Irreligion in Africa (which has main article
Irreligion in Africa), so I think it's fine. What do you think? Also asking @
Marcocapelle? Cheers,
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 16:13, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- @
Nederlandse Leeuw: that would not solve FL's objection. In retrospect I was a bit sloppy with my initial reaction, I should have said something like, support but please co-nominate the sibling categories.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 17:36, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- @
Marcocapelle Alright then let me say it more explicitly: we should merge the whole
Category:Religion in the Arab world tree into
Category:Religion in the Middle East. The "irreligion" subcat is just an example of how the former is a massive
WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the latter, except that it adds a few North African countries (which should be purged), omits Turkey, Israel and Kurdistan, and generalises them all as "Arab". That's just
pan-Arab nationalism in action.
Nederlandse Leeuw (

- I would definitely support that as a clear case of
WP:OVERLAPCAT.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 17:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- I would not oppose a fresh nomination to do that; there are only a few articles with relevant scope that would belong in both ME and NA, e.g.
Shia Muslims in the Arab world and
List of Jews from the Arab world. For Jews and Judaism categories, there are already
Jews and Judaism in the Mashriq/
Jews and Judaism in the Maghreb which may not be needed as well as
Jews and Judaism in the Middle East/
Jews and Judaism in North Africa; the inherent overlaps of those could be considered later, and for now they should simplify the work of splitting the Religion hierarchy.
Category:Bahá'í Faith in the Arab world could be renamed to NA and purged of two articles; etc. –

WP:CSK. –

- Thanks for linking to
WP:CSK, I never knew that page existed! The relevant provision seems to be 1.1:
If a good faith editor in good standing recommends delete or redirect, the AfD should not be speedily closed using this ground.
Theoretically supporting the merge as nominated is not a delete or redirect, but in practice it will lead to the deletion of the existing category. Marcocapelle is evidently a good faith editor with good standing, so we can't ignore his !vote. If I understand correctly, Marcocapelle should formally retract his Support !vote. Informally he has already expressed willingness to do so, and support for a wider nomination: In retrospect I was a bit sloppy with my initial reaction, I should have said something like, support but please co-nominate the sibling categories. and I would definitely support that [the new proposal NL made and Fayenatic supported]. But just to be on the closer's safe side, I would like to ask him to formally retract that Support !vote to allow me to request a Withdrawal and for a closer to approve it per 1.1. (That may be pendantic and bureaucratic, but in practice we already agree and there is no reason to continue this nom if we want to start over and already agree how.)

- Nominator's rationale: merge, DNA viruses is a more clearly defining characteristic of the content of this category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:23, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Parent/Neutral on Merge The Non-cellular life article seems to be a concept that has not yet gained strong traction and it's under Category:Hypothetical life forms. No objection to recreation though if there are articles about this concept or the concept becomes official taxonomy.

- Keep Category:Monodnaviria - I would think the taxonomnic parents would be most defining characteristic in taxonomy. merge Category:Non-cellular life to Category:DNA viruses as redundant, as the realm Monodnaviria consists exclusively of DNA viruses and they seem to be no more non-cellular than any other viruses. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Acting presidents by country to Category:Acting presidents
- Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent so that it becomes an immediate subcategory of Category:Presidents. It is strange that you can currently only find acting president via the by country subtree. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:28, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose renaming Current name is appropriate for subcats. The proposed target is a potentially valid parent cat for which other subcats (Acting presidents by decade/century?) are possible. Star Garnet ( talk) 22:31, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- For just two extra subcategories (decade and century) we would not need two category layers. Besides those two extra subcategories are hypothetical for the time being. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:30, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- You certainly would need an extra layer. As is, the proposal is just an artificial broadening of a category that cleanly fits where it is now. Star Garnet ( talk) 01:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Category:Acting presidents would be a sensible parent for this and any other potential splits (by century, etc) and for articles relating to acting presidents overall (such as key article Acting president).

- Delete per nom. Well yes, its only item Arab separatism in Khuzestan does, but the purported main article is Arab–Iranian conflict, which redirects to Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict, which already has Category:Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict. That's a very different conflict from Arab separatism in Khuzestan, which has mostly been between Iraq under Saddam versus the Islamic Republic of Iran. It was one of the major pretexts for Saddam to invade Iran in 1980, leading to the Iran–Iraq War. Saudi Arabia had very little to do with it. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk) 00:57, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

- I agree. It would absolutely be possible to fill this category with at least a dozen articles about language projects that are now discussed in
Pan-Slavic language, but as you say, I don't see this happening in the near future—especially since the person writing them would probably have been me. :)

Philatelic Federation of Pakistan is currently the only article in this category but SMALLCAT isn't an issue since most national bodies are in it, per the official FIP list.

- Propose Deleting Category:Members of Royal Agricultural Society
- Nominator's rationale: WP:V, the spirit of WP:C1, an unpopulated category, and presumably WP:OCASSOC
- There's not much here. The only article in this category, Tha Myat, makes no mention of being a member of this group. It's not even clear which organisation we're talking about here since Royal Agricultural Society is a disambiguation page. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
