[edit]Category:People from Love Valley, North Carolina
[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: merge. MER-C 09:09, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Tiny one county community with just one entry. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:45, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- I don't see any issue with merging the one person into the Category:People from Iredell County, North Carolina. There will probably not be many people from Love Valley on Wikipedia, given Love Valley's size and history. It is mainly a one man town. G. Moore talk 00:48, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Category:Sports equipment manufacturers
[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. MER-C 14:52, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: I can discern no meaningful difference between this category and Category:Sporting goods manufacturers. This category's description suggests that it should contain "companies or brands" whereas the other should contain "organisations", but that is not the case in practice. All members of this category also appear in either Category:Sporting goods manufacturers or one of its country-level subcategories, so nothing will be lost through deletion. (Pinging the category's creator, User:Raavimohantydelhi) -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:31, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Category:Football manufacturers
[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: merge. MER-C 09:02, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Football manufacturers to Category:Association football equipment manufacturers
- Nominator's rationale: I am ambivalent about categorizing sporting goods manufacturers by sport due to the fact that many manufacture goods and equipment for multiple sports. However, for now, I am only proposing to rename this category to bring it in line with the naming conventions of its parents. (Pinging the category's creator, User:Raavimohantydelhi) -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- Wouldnt they be better called Ball manufacturers and linked to Category:Balls Rathfelder (talk) 12:34, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- I think this would be non-defining. Are any sporting goods manufacturers defined by their production of balls as opposed to other types of sporting equipment/gear/products? For example, Adidas manufactures footballs, but it is one of countless products and hardly a defining feature of the company. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Sporting goods manufacturers, none of the manufacturers in this category really specializes in association football. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:24, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- I would be supportive of this, too. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- I think merging is the better option. Rathfelder (talk) 13:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:08, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: There is not enough content at this time to support an eponymous category. Currently, the category contains only 2 articles: the main article about the company and an article about one of its products. Both articles are already otherwise categorized, so upmerging is not required. (Pinging the category's creator, User:Le Deluge) -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:00, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:08, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people killed by Yugoslav Partisans after World War II in Zagreb - more or less the same arguments apply here. Only Gračani massacre actually belongs in this category, the other three entries are spurious. GregorB (talk) 10:48, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- Support, too narrow topic. We already have Category:People killed by Yugoslav Partisans, with a broader scope. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:52, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Category:Interest user templates
[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: merge. MER-C 14:49, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Interest user templates to Category:Userboxes
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge into Category:Userboxes, as separation is unnecessary. I will move subcategories shortly, the userboxes will be moved as part of WikiProject Userboxes "Diffuse" task. —andrybak (talk) 19:28, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- Can you provide additional context for why you think the separation is unnecessary? Also, please do not depopulate the category while the discussion is open, as it makes it much harder to evaluate the claim that "separation is unnecessary". For example, what did Category:Userboxes look like before you moved the subcategories? Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:20, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- An easy example to answer both questions would be Category:Location user templates. It was never part of Category:Interest user templates. I posit that it would be much easier for a user to find Template:User Canadaphile (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) in Category:Canada user templates, than in Category:Interest user templates. Even though there is Category:Regional interest user templates*, which was part of Category:Interest user templates. Trying to keep "interest" user templates categories organised will only lead to unnecessary duplication of every topic category from Category:Userboxes in tree under Category:Interest user templates. The end goal is to have user templates category tree to just roughly mimic tree of Category:Wikipedia templates by topic, without having an "interest" category for every "plain" category. *Footnote: there is a plan to greatly simplify the location userboxes category tree by improving tree of Category:User templates by country.
- Full answer to your second question: before depopulation of Category:Interest user templates, it contained following user templates categories: comedy, fantasy, fashion, food, regional activity, regional interest, international organization, fandom, sports, computer-related, media, occupation, transport, travel, weapons, history, horticulture, philosophy, scouting, political.
- Just to clarify: this upmerge discussion is part of an effort by WikiProject Userboxes to better organize categories of user templates. —andrybak (talk) 08:21, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for providing this information and the links. Looking at the list, I agree that "interest" is being applied too broadly, but I am not sure if it is entirely without use. As I do not, unfortunately, have the time right now to delve into this more deeply, I will defer to you and others who are able to give it more consideration. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:21, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, moving subcategories from Category:Interest user templates to Category:Life user templates, as happened here, is not solving any problem. This category is about interest and "life" is too general to be a reasonable substitute. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:38, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: just to clarify: not all categories were moved to Category:Life user templates. For example, Category:Comedy user templates was moved to Category:Arts user templates, and for Category:Transport user templates it was just left with Category:Technology user templates. —andrybak (talk) 14:33, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- I see. Still I think that interest is a fine sibling category of location, humor and a few other things that are unrelated to interest. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:22, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: just to clarify: not all categories were moved to Category:Life user templates. For example, Category:Comedy user templates was moved to Category:Arts user templates, and for Category:Transport user templates it was just left with Category:Technology user templates. —andrybak (talk) 14:33, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- Support I have never liked Category:Interest user templates, it would make better sense to upmerge to Category:Userboxes.Catfurball (talk) 19:22, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Makes the scope clearer, and in particular the distinction between these and Category:Energy companies.
