Category:International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia

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. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 00:57, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, the articles are not about the campaign but about the monuments. Similar to parent Category:Relocated ancient Egyptian monuments. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
If we are going to move to a vaguer name it should be "Lower Nubia" not just Nubia, to avoid a significant widening of the scope. Onceinawhile ( talk) 21:00, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Being a woman does not have a direct relationship with being a humanitarian. Unlike holding office or certain kinds of employment, women have not been systematically excluded from humanitarianism. User:Namiba 15:18, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Propose merging
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, WP:OCYEAR. Not enough establishments by decade. Upmerge to Holy Roman Empire and century-level categories. – Aidan721 ( talk) 14:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Good catch, adjusted above for 1380s and 1400s. – Aidan721 ( talk) 18:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Smallcat is no reason to delete a category. There is always scope for expansion. Dimadick ( talk) 01:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge all as currently proposed. It is true there is scope for expansion but, for an entity like the Burgundian Netherlands, I think it is very limited and so the target categories seem the most practical option. PearlyGigs ( talk) 05:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, WP:OCYEAR. All nominated categories have just 1-3 articles. Merge to decade level and year in Europe as unlikely to grow reasonably soon. – Aidan721 ( talk) 13:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:02, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Smallcat is no reason to delete a category. There is always scope for expansion. Dimadick ( talk) 01:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge all as proposed. It is true that there is nearly always scope for expansion but I'm inclined to think it will be very limited in cases like these. Ongoing research is unlikely to produce a significant number of additional events, besides which the target categories are entirely suitable. We have a specific year for Europe as a whole, which is fine, and I think a by decade approach is best for the medieval HRE. PearlyGigs ( talk) 05:17, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 01:02, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEGRS. The lone article is for Kurd Maverick, a German DJ seemingly of Kurdish origin. I'm not sure how Kurdish has developed into a significant style or genre of hip hop, and it does not seem that Kurd Maverick's music is especially Kurdish in any way.

Nominator's rationale: only one child category Mason ( talk) 12:33, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge due to lack of definition. While there has been "left-wing activism" in (probably) all countries, it is a question of definition by country and that is very difficult to pin down because what may seem left-wing in some countries may be considered liberal in another. The parent/target category is the safer option because, as the concept is vague, we should avoid national differences in its interpretation. PearlyGigs ( talk) 05:55, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Everyone child category is a category for animal rights activists by nationality. category should also be reparented from Category:Activism by country to Category:Activists by nationality Mason ( talk) 12:23, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: overlapping category Mason ( talk) 05:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Reverse merge, all other country categories have the format of "Animal welfare and rights". Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Apparently intended for unconventional uses of animals, otherwise many, many battles would qualify (e.g. cavalry, war elephants), but that would best be handled by a list or even an article w/ a list IMO. Clarityfiend ( talk) 02:32, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Both articles are also in the parent category, which only has one other article. Seems too early to split into sub-categories. Gonnym ( talk) 01:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:NONDEF, neither of these articles is primarily about the use of oxen, one is about a general, the other about a battle. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:34, 28 September 2023 (UTC) reply
