Concur: the meaning of the proposed category name seems unequivocal enough: it is about Poland, not by Poland; and it is less of a drain on mental-processing energy. Thanks. Nihil novi ( talk) 05:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: keep. MER-C 18:39, 23 September 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Apart from Sunday Times Rich List, all the other articles in this category are now at AfD as copyvios, listed in the same discussion. The retention or deletion of the category depends on the outcome of that discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sunday Times Rich List 1989.

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 16:58, 12 August 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Module:Sidebar games events categorizes only template pages when the parameter |name= is incorrect or is missing. See the very bottom of its source code, line 307 at Special:Permalink/874218002. Template namespace has number 10. If there will be consensus to rename, then I'll open a WP:TPER to update the module. —⁠ andrybak ( talk) 13:44, 2 August 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. There doesn't seem to be major opposition to this specific merge, but dissatisfaction with the tree in general. That will have to be the subject of a future discussion. bibliomaniac 1 5 19:26, 11 October 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Propose upmerging
Nominator's rationale: The above categories only cover two years and include only four and one articles respectively; there is no justification to keep these five articles separate from the main categories in which it is proposed to merge them. Hugo999 ( talk) 10:48, 2 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Unhappy -- My problem is not with the principle of merger (which I support), but with the target. It is not good to categorise things by what they are not. Petroleum companies are typically also interested in natural gas. One of the companies in a target is a coal company. I would accordingly suggest that both should be merged into Category:Fossil fuel companies established in 1959; also any siblings. I would expect Energy companies to be split into renewable, nuclear, and fossil fuel. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:41, 2 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: The proposed "target" category includes both oil & gas as well as coal companies, but I think they can all be classed as "Non-renewable resource companies" (i.e. they are not being categorised as "what they are not" ?). If you want to rename this category to "Fossil fuel companies" this should be a separate nomination for c165 categories by year plus decades. Re nuclear power companies, most manufacturing and operating companies also do coal or oil plants as well, and there would be few exclusively "nuclear" companies to justify a separate category by year (the Japan Atomic Power Company and Westinghouse Electric Company are exceptions). Hugo999 ( talk) 13:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. A rename of the targets should be discussed in a separate nomination. Marcocapelle ( talk) 23:25, 3 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Further comment: The "Energy companies by year" categories have subcategories of "Public uilities by year" e.g. Category:Public utilities established in 1973 and also "Energy infrastructure completed by year" e.g. Category:Energy infrastructure completed in 1988 though both these categories appear to be incomplete. As I said, many "Non-renewable resource companies" (both manufacturing and operating) are involved with several types of fuel so making it difficult to split them into say petroleum (oil), natural gas, coal and nuclear. Nuclear power plants are thermal (steam) plants so were built by manufacturers of large coal or oil plants like Westinghouse. Hugo999 ( talk) 00:11, 8 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Category:Baked goods

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: split to new parent Category:Baked foods. – Fayenatic London 21:15, 27 October 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: "Baked goods" specifically means "a food (such as a bread, cake, or cookie) made from a dough or batter that is baked" (Merriam-Webster). The existing category, however, includes all baked foods, such as Baked potato, Meatloaf, Tandoori chicken, etc. etc., which are never called baked goods in English. Eventually, there should probably be a subcategory Category:Baked goods covering only baked foods made from dough or batter, but for now, let's correct the name of this category to reflect what it contains. -- Macrakis ( talk) 18:14, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply
Also, our List of baked goods only includes dough and batter-based foods. Some of the illustrations (but not the text) include other foods, and I will remove those now. -- Macrakis ( talk) 18:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom, you might even wonder if this has been a plain typo. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:01, 15 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Prefer Purge to actual "Baked goods", or split to that & the wider Baked foods. We should have a category for baked goods, a very major food group - baked foods is a trivial intersection by comparison. Johnbod ( talk) 21:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Well, I think we agree on the end result: Category:Baked goods should be a subcategory of Category:Baked foods. The only question is how to do it. I am guessing that there are tools to help do this, but I'm not familiar with them -- can someone point me to them? -- Macrakis ( talk) 00:57, 16 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • It's not that difficult - most of the baked goods are in the subcats, and the articles directly in the category are mostly "baked foods", so I propose Split, setting up Category:Baked foods above this, and populate it. Some things, like sausage roll might belong in both. Johnbod ( talk) 14:29, 17 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • For preference split -- I suspect the compilers of Merriam-Webster had not heard of Tandoori ovens. I think there is a case for a category for goods whose main ingredient is flour, but this can be defined in a headnote. This is not entirely simple since filled pastry goods will only have flour as the main ingredient of the pastry part. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support it seems like these are foods; e.g., I don't see bricks which are usually baked (sometimes by the sun). Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 17:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support I saw this at the Wikiproject Food and Drink page. I'd previously seen this category and thought it was problematic for the reason User talk:Carlossuarez46 states so clearly above. Baked foods would be a better description of the category contents. For similar reasons I don't think we need the redirect "Baked dishes" either. Spudlace ( talk) 07:52, 27 September 2020 (UTC) reply
