NEW NOMINATIONS

Secretaries of State (UK)

  • Main proposal ALT-1:
Nominator's rationale: expanding "UK" to "United Kingdom" could have been eligible for speedy renaming under WP:C2B, see Wikipedia:Category names#How_to_name_the_country. However, one of them was opposed on the Speedy page by user:Le Deluge and user:Armbrust, on the basis that the current designation should be used. Against that argument, the convention within Category:British Secretaries of State is to use the formal historical title. @BrownHairedGirl and Rathfelder: pinging you as the other participants.[1] In the case of Secretary of State for Air, Secretary of State for War and Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, there is no need for the qualifier, as these have only been used as British ministerial titles.

Category:Regions of West Africa by country

Nominator's rationale: There's no reason for this category to exist. It has exactly ONE subcat, Category:Regions of Ghana (which I've already added to Category:Regions of Africa by country). I was hoping there were some other "Regions of" categories that could be added, but I checked out every country in West Africa, and NONE of them have such categories. (And surprise, surprise - this was created by a banned editor, User:Stanleytux. "The owner of this account is suspected of abusively using multiple accounts." <sigh>) Anomalous+0 (talk) 07:07, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Double merge to Category:Regions of West Africa and Category:Regions of Africa by country. This category contains one subcat and two lists; the lists would belong in a category like this, but that's still only three members which is too small to justify this category. @Anomalous+0: please do not nominate categories for deletion when they could usefully be merged; deletion is different, it removes all the members from the parent hierarchies. – Fayenatic London 09:41, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Association football in Northern Ireland

Propose renaming:
72 more "YYYY–YY in Northern Ireland football" cats
Nominator's rationale: per Association football in Northern Ireland/Category:Association football in Northern Ireland. "Football" is an ambiguous term in Northern Ireland, because Gaelic football is also a popular sport there.
Note that in a few cases, the renaming includes a change from "Northern Irish" to "Northern Ireland", because only a minority of people in Northern Ireland identify as "Northern Irish" (see Northern Ireland#Citizenship_and_identity and its use for Category:People from Northern Ireland per WP:CFD 2009 January 7). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:59, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. GiantSnowman 10:30, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom, to match parent article/category names and reflect standard naming for Northern Irish/Ireland pages. GiantSnowman 10:34, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pornographic film actors with HIV/AIDS

Nominator's rationale: This is an odd category intersection; aside from this category and one of its parents, Category:Sex workers with HIV/AIDS, I'm not aware of any other "<People in occupation> with <health condition>" categories Trivialist (talk) 03:26, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The people in that mesothelioma category are notable for a variety of occupations. Also, that's less likely to affect how the person does the job. DexDor (talk) 06:52, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. We have Cat:PFA under Cat:SW so if we have Cat:SWwH/A it makes sense to also have Cat:PFAwH/A (unless you can show it's not relevant for the actors). DexDor (talk) 06:52, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - This is an odd category nomination, not "an odd category intersection". Seriously, the health (i.e. STDs) of Pornographic film actors is a longstanding issue, for fairly obvious reasons. Anomalous+0 (talk) 07:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Luxdorph family

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT: low probability of growing beyond a single member. UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:USAAF Second Air Force Group Training Stations

Nominator's rationale: A now departed, banned user, Bwmoll3, set up a this category with a reference. The reference was R. Frank Futrell, “The Development of Base Facilities,” in The Army Air Forces in World War II, vol. 6, Men and Planes, ed. Wesley Frank Craven and James Lea Cate, 142 (Washington, D.C., Office of Air Force History, new imprint, 1983). There are six pages in the category. I do not believe that whether these bases were Second Air Force group training installations is a defining characteristic of their existence, in line with WP:CATDEF. I asked Lineagegeek to comment, and he said "It sounds more like a subject for a list to me than a category. Just trying out brackets: Category:First Air Force Group Training Stations, Category:Third Air Force Group Training Stations. Category:Fourth Air Force Group Training Stations, Category:I Troop Carrier Command Group Training Stations would be direct equivalents in mission and time, but don't exist. Of the few bases put in this category two are listed under names they never had (common problem Nowadays the US Army has Army Airfields: during WW II it had Army Air Fields), and two more are listed under more recent civilian names (which in itself tells me that support for a "defining characteristic" is weak). The use of the term "group training station" also implies some sort of defining characteristic between group training stations and squadron or wing training stations (which I doubt exists). I see no reason for the category. If this were to appear on a delete category page, I'd support". Thus I've listed this category for deletion. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
