Category:Academic works about clinical psychology

[edit]
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. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 09:34, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: purge Category:Academic works about psychiatry from the category because it does not belong here at all (psychiatry is not a field within clinical psychology), then merge the nominated category because keeping it with only one subcategory merely hinders navigation. There is no need to merge to the second parent category because Category:Clinical psychology journals is already part of Category:Psychology journals.

Noir writers by nationality

[edit]
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 those with 5+ members, but rename three to Category:Danish Noir writers, Category:Icelandic Noir writers, Category:Swedish Noir writers. Merge Category:Finland Noir writers to Category:Nordic Noir writers, since that intermediate category is not being emptied. I am not sure that "Noir" should be capitalised on the nationality sub-cats, but nobody commented on this. – Fayenatic London 07:17, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, the writers in these categories are mostly characterized as detective writers. If kept, at least rename some of the categories, e.g. Category:Denmark Noir writers to Category:Danish Noir writers. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:08, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the ones larger that five articles (American, Norwegian, Sweden), delete the rest with no prejudice against re-creation if more articles turn up. If there are non-noir detective writers in there, they should be purged. Also, standardise the names (Sweden -> Swedish). Also, should noir be lower case? Grutness...wha? 01:34, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • With respect to purging, if we would purge all writers without any mention of noir, every category is at risk of being left behind with less than five articles. So that can be done too, but then small categories should be merged to Category:Noir writers instead of deleted. However the more fundamental issue is not so much whether they were noir writers or not, the issue is that noir is not a main characteristic of any writer because noir is more a style (if that is the right term) than a genre.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Psychological tests and scales. – Fayenatic London 10:07, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename to align with article titles (they are called tests, scales, questionnaires etc. but not tools) and to align with the parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

rename per nom. Also, "tools" is rarely used in literature as compared to tests and/or scales. --Xurizuri (talk) 01:16, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As noted at Wikipedia talk:Featured article review#Worth giving a periodic check?, this is unused by any FAR processes, and is obsolete. This serves no purpose and has already been deleted once. Hog Farm Talk 05:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: More suitable category name, current name is confusing, and not consistent with other rugby union and rugby sevens categories Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:10, 16 November 2021 (UTC) OK for me Bougnat87 18:00, 16 November 2021[reply]

I'm happy with deletion if this is the preferred outcome, I was sceptical when I saw the category in the first place and just suggested the rename if it was to be kept. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:57, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Peterkingiron, I disagree there, Rugby sevens is a big sport, and is played at the Olympics and Commonwealth games. Playing rugby sevens internationally in certain competitions qualifies a player as a pass for WP:NRU and as Oculi states we have rugby sevens categories for all international countries.

Peterkingiron, Rugby sevens is usually classified as a form of rugby union, hence why we don't use rugby sevens as a disambiguator etc, however not all players will play both rugby sevens and rugby union. I'd say around a half of those players that played at the Olympics would be contracted rugby sevens players to their countries (who wouldn't play rugby union). It's been pretty standard (certainly for major rugby sevens nations) to categorise with both categories, for example Category:New Zealand international rugby union players and Category:New Zealand international rugby sevens players.

Wikipedians by musician

[edit]
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 most. Merge Category:Wikipedians by musical interest per nom and rename Eurovision. @M.Billoo2000: feel free to add the user category that you suggested to User:UBX/Coke Studio if you think it is justified. – Fayenatic London 10:15, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As the header at the top of Category:Wikipedians interested in music says, NOTE: There is a precedent against creating categories to organize Wikipedians by the musicians and musical groups they enjoy. Such categories will be speedily deleted per G4. For more information, see Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/July 2007#Category:Wikipedians by musician and all subcats. (I don't endorse an application of G4 that's that broad, so am going to CfD instead). The parent category, after most of its contents are deleted, will become a WP:SMALLCAT with only three subcategories so should be merged to its parents. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:32, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This back and forth of creating and deleting of the same categories or using a loophole to save them by renaming them is very tiresome. There should probably be a discussion that decides if these are wanted to not. I personally think these fall under WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK. Gonnym (talk) 19:09, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Well, I consent to Gonnym: those fall under WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK. --Just N. (talk) 22:34, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians interested in webcomics

[edit]
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. Most editors participating in this discussion argue that these categories are not facilitating an encyclopedic purpose. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 09:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Option A - who like

Option B - who read

Option C - interested in

Nominator's rationale Rename all members of Category:Wikipedians interested in webcomics to match each other (rather than having three different naming conventions used in four categories). I weakly prefer Option C to match the name of the parent category. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:19, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Option A. since it would certainly be the most descriptive in this case. [Disclaimer: my user page is a member of Category:Wikipedians who like Homestuck.] –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 03:13, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
