Category Video games based on films by director not found
Nominator's rationale: The soundtrack tree below is a pretty tenuous connection but this is really ropy: film directors have nothing to do with video game spinoffs of their franchises. I recommend a {{
catseealso}} where appropriate. ―

Delete all - Video game adaptations of films have absolutely nothing to do with the films' directors. And yes, it's important to make sure the articles still are in the "video games based on films" category like BOZ said.--

Comment: As the creator of a lot of those categories, I suggest that it is meaningful, given that many directors work with the same composers or have soundtracks that are similar in style. You raise a good point about their parent categories, though, and I'll fix that for the categories I created.

Good Ol’factory(talk) 12:35, 3 October 2018 (UTC)reply
Journals aren't physical entities that have an established location. As such, Academic journals in Foo reads incorrect (unless the categories contain articles about journal culture in each country, which is not the case). Alternatively, Each of the categories could probably be merged to Category:Academic journals published in Foo. Not sure why there's currently a separation between the two. --
Paul_012 (

Support merging into "Academic journals published in Foo", unless someone can demonstrate the need for both categories. The "of Foo" variant is also fine, and there are existing categories such as
Category:Defunct journals of the United Kingdom, so consolidation of category names might be useful, one way or the other.

Category:Jews and Judaism in Ottoman Palestine
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.
Nominator's rationale: Newly created category (2 Sep 2018) into much of
Category:Jews and Judaism in Ottoman Syria has been moved into. Ottoman Palestine is an ill-defined concept - during the period there were a number of divisions by Ottoman authorities of Ottoman Syria, none of which included a "Palestine" - the closest being perhaps
Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem - which did not include the northern parts of what is generally considered Palestine (e.g. Nablus, Haifa, the Galilee). The pre-1865 under
Damascus Eyalet did not have a separate Palestine division. Furthermore, Jewish activities during this period extended into the southern bits of modern day Syria.
Icewhiz (

What prodded me to nom was the re-catting of a bunch of articles I have watchlisted. In as much as this cat discussion ends up with a merge back to Ottoman Syria, it would make sense to merge many of the other "Ottoman Palestine" cats as well - on the same grounds.

@
Greyshark09: Regarding
your revert: nobody would ever argue that
Palestine (region) is equal to
Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. Instead,
Palestine (region) is roughly equivalent to
Holy Land and both have been geographical terms in their own right throughout the course of history. I'm adding it here as a comment in this discussion because it seems that you misunderstand the scope of the nominated category.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 19:01, 4 September 2018 (UTC)reply
The boundaries of the Holy Land to the north, east, and south are far from defined. Gaza is usually in, Eilat is generally out (but could be in), large parts of Lebanon are in, Damascus could be in or out (Christian maps, given
Conversion of Paul the Apostle on the road, are actually more likely to include). Prior to 1923 - both Palestine and the Holy Land are ill defined and very variable.
Icewhiz (
talk) 19:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)reply
There may be some question marks at the borders of the region, but
Judea,
Samaria and
Galilee are definitely included.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 19:45, 4 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Galilee was not generally included in the definition of Palestine in Ottoman times. You can find plenty of references on
Zahir al-Umar as the ruler of
Acre and all Galilee in 18th century in parallel with another Ottoman
Sanjak-bey ruler of
in Jerusalem, Gaza and Nablus; concerning Jews back then - another example is 19th century
Makhlouf Eldaoudi who was the chief rabbi of Acre, Haifa, Safed and Tiberias (1889–1909 "Hakham Bashi of Ottoman Galilee") in parallel with
Yaakov Shaul Elyashar as Chief rabbi of Jerusalem ("Hakham Bashi of Ottoman Palestine"). Those regions were clearly separate in Ottoman era.
GreyShark (

Marcopelle, you are anachronistically trying to use the borders of Mandatory Palestine to Palestine in Ottoman period. Why not using the borders of Ottoman Israel then? Anyway,
Holy Land is a Christian concept, so its borders are less relevant to the Ottoman period.
GreyShark (
dibra) 05:42, 5 September 2018 (UTC)reply
No, the use of Palestine as a geographical region is much older than Mandatory Palestine. The Romans adopted the already existing name to create the province
Syria Palaestina.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 06:02, 5 September 2018 (UTC)reply
So was the use of
Israel and
Canaan in even older times - then why don't we use the concept
Ottoman Israel or
Ottoman Canaan for the matter? How differing were the borders of Ottoman Palestine vs. Ottoman Israel vs. Ottoman Canaan? Do not be ridiculous.
GreyShark (
dibra) 06:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)reply
The usage of Israel and Canaan had diminished after ancient times, while the usage of Palestine and Holy Land hadn't.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 06:41, 6 September 2018 (UTC)reply
What is actually well defined - throughout the Ottoman period - is
Ottoman Syria.
Icewhiz (
talk) 06:40, 5 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Is it? It was a historical region, like Palestine. The fact that a collection of administrative subdivisions of the Ottoman Empire coincided with the historical region is just coincidental.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 06:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose as nom. The anachronism argument is bogus. Ottoman-era history of the region of Palestine is a topic of encyclopaedia value, as shown e.g. in the
First Aliyah article. There is no ambiguity whatsoever as to what people refer to when talking about "Ottoman Palestine", and the internal political borders of the time do not matter much. Similarly, one could argue that you cannot speak about 19th-century history of the Federal Republic of Germany because no state existed in the 19th century in the current borders of present-day Germany. Every time it is possible, Wikipedia history categories are organised along present-day geographical entities, with nuances of administrative boundaries well enough treated in the article detail. Trying to do "better" in the name of anachronism would, in fact, bring a much, much worse solution.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Place Clichy (

@
Place Clichy: - should we created an
Ottoman Israel category, if we are organizing along present-day geographical entities ?
Icewhiz (
talk) 11:08, 25 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose nom. The problem is that
First Aliyah began in 1882. Syria was then split in 1887, with a Vilaret of Beirut. Jews were not interested in return to Damascus or other parts of northern Syria, but they did want to return to what had been ancient Israel. One of the difficulties is that Palestine is cognate with Philistia and probably derived from it, but the Philistines occupied a coastal strip in the southern part of Mandatory Palestine. We need to stick with Ottoman Palestine, even though the main article is a redirect to a section of
History of Palestine. Sometimes it is impractical to have a perfect category system: life is too complicated for that.

Nominator's rationale:delete as trivial intersections. Neither of these periods is particularly known for demolishing landmarks. For the third category in particular, destruction - if it happened at all - often took place decades after confiscation, so there was no relationship between those events. There is no need to merge, since the articles are already in
Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Spain or in one of its subcategories.

Option B to be consisted with parent category
Category:Buildings and structures in Spain. Note however, that "partially demolished" seems to be another way to describe
