Nominator's rationale: The criterion of a minimum buy-in of $1000 (apparently for tournaments, though not explicitly stated) is totally arbitrary. Afaik, there is no official definition of "midstakes". Clarityfiend (talk) 21:50, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buildings and Monuments on the Canadian Register of Historic Places

[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.

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:WHATISCRHP, the Canadian Register of Historic Places "confers no historic status or protection. It is merely a database of sites that have been officially designated by governments in Canada as having historic value. The CRHP is an information tool, not a heritage designation itself." In other words, inclusion in that database is not a defining characteristic of a site in and of itself -- CRHP is simply a directory of sites which have historic status, but is not in and of itself the conferrer of that status. Categorizing for this is the equivalent of categorizing for Category:Films with IMDb profiles or Category:Albums with AllMusic profiles, which would also be deeply misguided. Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not disagree with you that he the CRHP does not confer status, but it is currently nearly impossible to answer questions like:
- what are the oldest buildings in canada? (with info on each building)
- what are the oldest wood framed buildings in Canada?
- What are the oldest buildings in New Brunswick?
Etc...
What do you propose? HISTORBUFF (talk) 17:20, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How on earth would this category assist in answering those questions at all? Bearcat (talk) 17:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Notable lower-level poker players

[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) * Pppery * it has begun... 17:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Badly named category which exists solely to hold redirects. Under virtually no circumstances should a main content category ever have the word "notable" in its name -- notability is a base requirement of even having a Wikipedia article at all, so it's hardly necessary for the category system to distinguish "notable X" from "non-notable X". But even worse, it was created entirely to hold people whose names exist solely as redirects to a poker competition that they participated in, and thus haven't even been established as "notable" in the first place -- and for the icing on the cake, one redirect (which I've already deleted as cross-namespace) existed not as a redirect to a competition, but as a recursive redirect back to this category, which is not acceptable at all.
Renaming might be acceptable as well, if somebody can propose a legitimate alternate name for it and some actual articles that could be filed in that, but an inappropriately named category that exists solely to hold redirects is hardly needed. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hardly so when most of the notable players at these levels can be found on the World Series of Poker Circuit Tour - and thus the main part of eligible players for a possible inclusion for a "lower level"-player is deemed not notable. TheElvisBelievingBumbleBee (talk) 13:41, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover; the Circuit tour is officially right "below" the World Series of Poker Tour and thus is defined as a lower level. (See for a snooker example the relationship between World Snooker Tour and Q Tour (former PIOS Tour)). TheElvisBelievingBumbleBee (talk) 14:23, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Evenmore so; there aren't really that many categories systemizing poker players so this one is needed. TheElvisBelievingBumbleBee (talk) 14:43, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you should redirect your energies to populating Category:Amateur poker players? (e.g. Guy Laliberté, Richard Nixon, etc.) Clarityfiend (talk) 08:26, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, I'll do this myself. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:31, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:16, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. When one needs to use "notable" in the category's name, it's in trouble. (usually subjective, usually with no clear criterion for membership, and so on) Pichpich (talk) 18:47, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Adjunct professor

[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) * Pppery * it has begun... 17:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Misguided category. There are five articles here, of which three are biographies of people who have held adjunct professorships -- but all that really means is "part-time instead of full-time", which means it isn't a defining characteristic of the people. If the biographies are removed, however, then all that would be left are adjunct professor itself and a spinoff article about adjunct professors in North America, which isn't enough content to need a dedicated category.

The result of the discussion was: Rename (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 17:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Plays and operas are apples and oranges. I've already split off the operas to Category:Aviation operas. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 17:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This template category is a subcategory of "Moldova location map modules" but the contents are no different to the parent category. Both just contain modules. --Ferien (talk) 12:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
