Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast

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/rename as specified. MER-C 10:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Merge/rename. Some nominations opposed at the speedy renaming section (by an apparent single-purpose account). The category tree and article space uses Category:Ivory Coast/ Ivory Coast. These are the only categories that do not (apart from the Olympics ones, since we use the name by which a country competes at the Olympics, even if it doesn't match the WP name). We could debate the merits of the article using either name, but right now, English WP uses "Ivory Coast" as a result of this discussion, and there's no reason for these categories not to conform. Redirects may be created on the alternate form. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:22, 28 February 2016 (UTC) reply

I realise that "Côte d'Ivoire" is the official name of the country, but the article (and hence the categories) on the English WP has been Ivory Coast since 2012 as a result of this discussion. See Category:Ivory Coast and its subcategories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:26, 25 February 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Support -- While the official name of the country may be in French the common English name is in English. I expect there are other cases of this if we think hard. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete trivial. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 21:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Though this is a new category, nominated on the day of its creation, this is an improper grouping of topics. Infertility describes the condition of being unable to reproduce by natural means. There are a variety of causes, but they seem to be mostly biological. Sterilization is a term for medical techniques that intentionally leave a person unable to reproduce and most are permanent. The effect on reproduction is the same but the reasons are worlds apart. Dimadick ( talk) 17:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- A category for real people to whom this applied would certainly be NN. However, I can imagine that there might be a novel the main protagonist was incapable of having children and this was a significant issue in the plot. However, if it is still empty, we do not need it. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:48, 1 March 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. @ Debresser: please tweak away. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:53, 21 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: No uses (apart from the old examples on the testcases and the talkpage discussion). This was created in 2006, and I think that people know how to use it correctly by now. Debresser ( talk) 21:58, 28 February 2016 (UTC) By the way, the template will need some tweaking if this category is deleted, and I will be happy to take care of that.

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:17, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: This is an unnecessary distinction. The similar categories for former communist states like Yugoslavia don't have it. Charles Essie ( talk) 18:24, 28 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Support, as we usually don't subdivide by historic periods unless we have a parent category to hold the different periods. Either way, the correct name would be Category:Political repression in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic per parent Category:Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, which includes both the 1948–60 and the 1960–89 periods. -- PanchoS ( talk) 11:37, 8 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:Arab nationalist heads of state

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. No need to upmerge, since they are all already in the category tree one way or another. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:58, 21 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Arab nationalists are ridiculously overcategorized. "Heads of state" were always either military personnel or career politicians. Personally I think most of the subcategories for Arab nationalists are unnecessary. You don't see this level of subcategorization for any other nationalists. Plus, some of these people were heads of government, not heads of state. Charles Essie ( talk) 17:53, 28 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Maybe, but some of the Arab heads of state in this category are/were leaders of countries that are not part of the standard territorial definition of the Middle East (such as the Maghreb states). Charles Essie ( talk) 16:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:Biblical figures in Islam

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: rename as figures is a very vague term while actually people are meant. This is a follow-up on this discussion which is still open. After renaming, the articles Devil (Islam), Michael (archangel) and Holy Spirit (Islam) should be upmerged. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:09, 28 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Thanks for adding. The answer to your question is yes, upmerge to all four parents. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral I'm fine either way here but, since I commented, I didn't want my perspective to be ambiguous. RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:03, 3 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • @ Carlossuarez46: Based on your comments in the earlier discussion, is it correct to assume that you support this nomination? Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:36, 4 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Affirmative. I didn't add that figuring that it would have been presupposed, but thank you for clarifying. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 19:40, 4 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support per my comments on the prior nom and the equal treatment of the two books (Quran & Bible). Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 19:40, 4 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:People's Republic of China novelists from Beijing

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. There was support to rename the "Novelists from FOO" categories into "Writers from FOO" categories, but the former were not nominated/tagged as part of this discussion. It could be pursued in a follow-up discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:56, 21 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: No other country seems to have "novelists by province/city" subcategories, much less an additional descriptor like "People's Republic of" (presumably to distinguish writers from e.g. the Qing dynasty), so I think this is clearly overcategorization. If anyone thinks that Category:Novelists from Beijing should be further upmerged with Category:Writers from Beijing, I am willing to support that as well.

Also nominate merging the following:

  • Support – to 'Writers', not novelists, as we have Category:Writers by city but not Category:Novelists by city. (I am not particularly keen on subcatting 'people from XXX (city)' at all, but editors do like intersecting subcats interminably.) Oculi ( talk) 12:36, 28 February 2016 (UTC) reply

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: This might make an interesting list and a list would have many advantages (e.g. being able to include a few words of explanation against each entry, being able to include events for which there isn't a standalone article). However, as a way of categorizing it's not as good as the other ways we categorize (e.g. by year, location and type) as those characteristics provide comprehensive categorization and mesh with other categories. We don't, for example, categorize maritime/railway/road/factory accidents by whether they kill any bystanders. That the category was created without any parent categories indicates that the creator doesn't understand wp categorization and hence they may have thought this was the correct way to create a list. Note: this category is currently incomplete ( El Al Flight 1862 being one omission) and isn't precisely defined (e.g. should British Airtours Flight 28M be included?).
