The result of the discussion was: rename ( non-admin closure). Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:12, 10 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Local spelling in both Australia and the UK is "paediatrics" (cf the paediatricians subcats). Grutness... wha? 23:49, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Rename - perhaps this could have been a speedy of the bleeding obvious variety? JarrahTree 00:23, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
The speedy criteria specifically exclude changes related to local variants of English. Grutness... wha? 00:29, 4 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Rename - correct British English spelling. However, that does not mean that the US category should be changed if it is the correct American spelling. Peterkingiron ( talk) 22:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Which is why I only proposed the UK and Australia categories :) Grutness... wha? 00:29, 4 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Dissolution of the Monasteries

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: keep. ℯ xplicit 00:32, 12 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale The category's scope is restricted to just England; however the current title gives the impression of universal application. Also, to conform with similar categories such as Category:Monasteries suppressed under the Irish Reformation, Category:Monasteries suppressed under the Scottish Reformation and Category:Monasteries suppressed under the Icelandic Reformation. If this is successful, the main article, Dissolution of the Monasteries, should also be renamed to match. Am also open to an alternative of Category:Dissolution of the monasteries in England. At the very least, "Monasteries" ought not to be capitalised. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 10:53, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment if could be helpful to have the article renamed first. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:35, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Groan. OK. I'll nominate the article. It could be helpful if you visited the nomination. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 20:43, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or add "in England" or "in England and Wales". This is a specifically an English category, but the present name is liable to pick up suppressions in other countries and at other times. However purge: with the exceptions of alien priories suppressed during 100 years war and a few small ones used by Wolsey to endow an Oxford College, they were all dissolved in 1536-9, so that categorising them as dissolved is the same as categorising them as monasteries, quite apart from friaries not being monasteries. Peterkingiron ( talk) 22:31, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose, category renames do not lead, instead move the parent article and then rename categories to follow. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 04:23, 4 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Since the RM does not seem to lead to the desired result, I support the nomination here, thus by exception prioritizing WP:C2C over WP:C2D. Moreover, it makes some sense that we do not regard Dissolution of the Monasteries to be the main article, since the article is about a topic (an event) while the category is about a set (of monasteries). Marcocapelle ( talk) 22:34, 4 December 2017 (UTC) reply
    • "Since the RM does not seem to lead to the desired result"? Oppose this, categories should support articles, not become their own beast. You can argue freely in the RM, but should respect the consensus there. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 10:18, 10 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Not necessarily. Categories are navigational aids. This means that they should support, in a consistent way, navigation through similar topics (e.g. in Scotland, Iceland, Ireland, England). So while a particular topic might wish, for local reasons, to cling to a particular common name, nevertheless, the category may, for navigational purposes, diverge from that peculiar local name. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 11:24, 10 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Categories lose their viability as navigation aids if they become de-coupled to the articles. The substance of the argument made here should be made in the RM on the article talk page. If this thing has parallels in other countries and other times (it does), then the article titles should reflect that. COMMONNAME is being used for local naming minimalism. — SmokeyJoe ( talk) 11:51, 10 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Category:Hebrew Bible events

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, after moving the main list and battles subcategory to Category:Hebrew Bible content. As noted, the remaining articles are already in one or more subcategories of the parent category. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 06:15, 11 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: delete, the category consists of an arbitrary selection of articles regarding the content of the Hebrew Bible, while nearly all of it is already in one of the more specific bible book categories. The only exceptions are the battles subcat and the list article, they should be moved to Category:Hebrew Bible content if this category is going to be deleted. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:47, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support largely duplicates Hebrew Bible content. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 10:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: This was first created in 2004 by user:IZAK as Category:Hebrew Bible/Tanakh events. It was probably better used initially, but now contains only 20 pages, including the more useful List of Hebrew Bible events which was started in 2005 by the same editor. The other contents are now all categorised in Bible books categories, so this category may no longer be necessary. If this category is not kept, its sub-cat Category:Hebrew Bible battles and that list must be moved up into Category:Hebrew Bible content as the nominator says. – Fayenatic London 13:22, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- Apart from the battles which can be merged to the parent, this is a random list of articles on Biblical events. I suspect that the articles will be better categorise under the separate Bible books in which they appear. Distribute contents where necessary and them delete.

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 05:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, these are three subcategories of Category:Counts of Flanders but the specific titles are not even mentioned in the text of the articles that are in these categories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:00, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support Subordinate titles do not usually get categories. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 10:57, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete -- These 3 categories contain 2 articles on rulers OF Flanders which are already in the Flanders article. Peterkingiron ( talk) 22:50, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete G1. – Fayenatic London 00:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: It isn't very clear what this even means, or why the recent U.S. tax bill is included. Falling Gravity 07:38, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete This category doesn't make any sense and shouldn't exist. EMachine03 ( talk) 17:44, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 05:30, 11 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Sorting by non-defining characteristic. We do not categorize any other sportspeople by what round of the draft they were drafted. TM 04:17, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support. -- GoodDay ( talk) 18:01, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose: ... which is an "other stuff doesn't exist" argument. So what? It's a easily definable, not indiscriminate term, and athletes generally carry "He was a first round draft pick in 19xx" throughout their careers. Is there a better rationale to delete than that? Ravenswing 21:44, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
    What part of non-defining characteristic is unclear?-- TM 21:37, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
    The part where I disagree with your assertion that it's a non-defining characteristic, that's what. Ravenswing 22:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Being a first round draft pick is perhaps one of the most defining aspects of a professional hockey players career. - DJSasso ( talk) 02:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose. Being drafted in the first round is significant for players. – Sabbatino ( talk) 10:44, 6 December 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: speedy rename C2E. – Fayenatic London 00:34, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: per parent "organisations in NZ" category and local spelling norms. Grutness... wha? 02:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 10:58, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom. Oculi ( talk) 17:54, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support I created the category and should have used NZ English - I've obviously spent too much time in the US! Thanks Grutness for requesting the rename. Slafayette ( talk) 22:02, 2 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support -NZ does not use US spellings. Peterkingiron ( talk) 22:45, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply
