Category:Catholic universities and colleges in Honduras

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: dual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 18:04, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There is only one university in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. Mason ( talk) 23:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Dual merge per nom, without objection to recreate the category when more articles are available. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:32, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Dual merge (as creator) in the absence of more content. However I reverted your addition of Category:Universities and colleges in Honduras to the article, which is redundant as the article is already in Category:Universities in Honduras. @ Smasongarrison: may I ask why you phrase your nominations as splitting instead of merging to all parents, which can be automated? In my understanding splitting is something else, which is when a category combines two or more different notions, and some articles must be manually moved to target category A, some others to target category B, but not both categories (e.g. splitting a category for queens between queens regnant and queens consorts). Place Clichy ( talk) 12:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Happy to answer the splitting question. So the twinkle app doesn't at present give an option to merge into two categories, so I've been using split instead. I've made a request that they include the option as there is a template. My reasoning is that it's better to include the additional category at the expense of the wrong verb.

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 18:06, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Feels WP:INDISCRIMINATE. If it were just a list of characters from the Batman: Arkham series (with the articles listed being about the versions from the Batman: Arkham series) that would be fine. This also might be an WP:OVERLAPCAT with other Batman categories. (Oinkers42) ( talk) 17:43, 5 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, these are not Batman: Arkham characters, they're just Batman characters. This category should be populated by specific versions from those games and original characters created for the games, not by what's filled with now. — El Millo ( talk) 01:17, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: A total of three related articles (one album and two songs) doesn't seem to be enough to justify an eponymous category yet. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 19:06, 20 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete per Marco. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 13:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC) reply
But the tours and files aren't works, so pruning would be needed. Take those away though and a "works by" parent isn't even necessary. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 17:28, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes, sure, it would need pruning, but it would still hold three subcats. -- wooden superman 15:02, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Marcocapelle, @ Omnis Scientia, any thoughts on renaming? Qwerfjkl talk 19:38, 14 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • @ Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: you might want to withdraw this nomination and start a new one including the subcategories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    I would be in favor deleting the whole tree. They are all too small. @ Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, start a new one as Marco says. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 14:15, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    I'm OK with closing this as no consensus. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 20:18, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Really the biography article and the tour ones are the only potential direct content. (I would also favor deleting the tour subcat until if/when more articles appear.) No objection to creating a Works by Tyla category but that can be done outside of CFD. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 12:21, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 18:09, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I fail to see how this category isn't 100% redundant to Category:Writers, basically even copying eevery subcategory in its tree. Isn't this just pointless redundance? Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.7% of all FPs. 02:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Oppose. These are maintenance categories for eponymous categories. Mason ( talk) 05:55, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes, but it's a complete redundant copy of the category tree for Writers, and I can't see any use. What on earth is this maintaining? Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.7% of all FPs. 08:04, 29 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Oppose; it clearly says this is a maintenance category. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I guess the original intention was that biography categories shouldn't contain any eponymous subcategories because these subcategories do not contain biographical articles. But this is not maintained, not even documented as a guideline as far as I know. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:09, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: WP:COMMONNAME: this is the most common short name for the division, [1] [2] capitalized as a proper name. The short name is appropriate as this category includes members both while it was the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) (1943–45) and 1st Galicia Division of the Ukrainian National Army (1945).  — Michael  Z. 15:56, 20 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Oppose. Province of Massachusetts Bay is not the same entity as Massachusetts (nor are they same as Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony, or Province of Maine). Each entity as it's own history and combining them into one category is anachronistic and simply creates a mess. They also do not overlap as each entity has its own years and area, so other than sharing a somewhat similar name, how do they overlap? Gonnym ( talk) 00:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC) reply

    Mason, your nomination read(s): Upmerge for now. Unhelpful for navigation to only have one page in here. Seems pretty reasonable. But by the time I noticed the existence of this little discussion, the category already had two pages. So your nomination, however reasonable and constructive, seemed obsolete when I first read it. Now you're asking about the creation of single-item categories. The question's reasonable enough, and arguably Brett was a naughty fellow for perpetrating just such a category. (Without thinking too deeply about the matter, I have a mixed opinion.) But I wonder why you're bringing up the matter here and now. If what you're now proposing is (i) that the entire category scheme is a mess plus (ii) some better alternative, then please make this explicit. -- Hoary ( talk) 23:10, 22 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    Thanks for explaining your reasoning, that's helpful. I was asking because I didn't understand how potential for growth was related to the fact that this category is unhelpful for navigation. I think that both Category:Interrogative subordinators and Category:Declarative subordinators, should be deleted and that Category:Subordinators by language should be merged into the parent. I've updated the nomination Mason ( talk) 23:24, 22 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Brett@ Marcocapelle@ Piotrus, I've updated the nomination per @ Hoary's request. Mason ( talk) 23:31, 22 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • One thing about the directory tree that clearly is not satisfactory as it stands is that Category:Declarative subordinators currently has but one member, That. The band-aid/elastoplast solution would be to hurriedly add the stub for a second. I'm not offering to do this -- not just because I loathe stubs, but because the article That, for starters, currently lacks a single mention of "subordinator" (even though, yes, it is a prototypical subordinator, for which please see The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, passim). If the article were decent, its terminology could easily be updated. However, its section "Modern usage" is worthless. For me, fixing misinformation is more pressing than adding more information (let alone worrying about categorization). (Oh, and also, that "is not a thing": there are two ⟨that⟩ /ˈðæt/ homonyms, as far apart from each other as Galicia is from Galicia.) -- Hoary ( talk) 00:48, 23 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Also support deletion of the two added categories, they are currently not helpful for navigation either. Possibly merge them to Category:English grammar. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:43, 23 December 2023 (UTC) reply
