Category:Ukrainian medical doctors

[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: reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge this recent category into the older existing category (NB: the Commons ref uses "Physicians from Ukraine"). Hugo999 (talk) 23:14, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or Reverse Merge I'm not getting into any regional English usage issues for non-English speaking countries. Clearly though, this is one category. RevelationDirect (talk) 21:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reverse merge Medical doctor is an accepted term in the US, and more common. So I see no reason to not use it in all categories for all parts of the world.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:28, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question is this a make work project for bored CfDers who have nothing better to do than vote on moving pages back and forth?

Category:Nationalism by country

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus with no prejudice against speedy renomination. Ricky81682 (talk) 10:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These are two categories for basically the same thing. Charles Essie (talk) 21:33, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't notice that new Category:Nationalisms, which basically constitutes a "by name" category, not grouping the content by any criterion. Don't know how this fits into the larger category tree – is it a duplicate or a misnomer or can they all coexist? It would have to be a non-dispersing category to ensure it stays undivided, and I'm no big fan of non-dispersing categories. So I think, that new Category:Nationalisms should be renamed Category:Nationalisms by name or something more appropriate. It's definitely further complicating things, but maybe forces us to try harder and dig deeper. Frankly, I have to think about it. Your intentions when creating that catchall category would be quite helpful, if your willing to share them with us, Charles Essie. Regards, --PanchoS (talk) 22:43, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and delete Category:Nationalism by country or region Nationalism is "nation" and ought be thus sorted by country; we have other categories for separatist, irredentist, racialist, or whatever, for people wanting wannabe countries or change the borders of countries. Moreover, there will be a fine line deciding what is nationalism (which is viewed negatively here) or merely expressing one's ethnic identity, pride, or resistance to assimilation (which are viewed favorably here). So making the requested changes lets WP become the arbiter not only of what is nationalism, but to what region(s) a "nationalism" belongs to - all of which is WP:OR.

  • I wouldn't agree on the equation "nation = country" if that is what you mean. Besides that wouldn't have an impact on this particular discussion: all three top categories include separatist movements as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Interesting, but has its problems, too, in that only the not yet successful nationalisms are represented by movements, while the already successful nationalisms are usually to some extent state doctrine. It this a welcome effect? I don't know. This and all other questions will have to be discussed in a new CfD proposal as this one seems to be without consensus. --PanchoS (talk) 03:49, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Twist (dance). Marcocapelle (talk) 11:25, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A category created based on a word in the title with no other connection between the works. This may be better suited to a list, which already exists at List of twist songs. If kept, category should be renamed to Category:Twist (dance) to match the main article Twist (dance). StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:18, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
