November 13

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Statistical analysis

Nominator's rationale: undefined scope fgnievinski (talk) 15:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Spaceflight portal

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT - There is only one portal that fits with this category and Portal:Spaceflight is already in Category:Transport portals so we don't need this subcategory with only one portal which fits with this. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:57, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Category:Legisprudence

Category:Gay male sex workers

Nominator's rationale: Every other category and subcategory of Category:Gay men by occupation uses "gay" rather than "gay male". Correction for the sake of consistency. Pinging @User:BizarreLoveTriangle, @User:Timrollpickering, @User:Stefanomione.
  • Comment: And when editors start putting women in the category since the term gay can also apply to women? Or what about non-binary people who identify as gay? Should we group them with gay men? Just leave it as it is. Bluerasberry, I know how you feel regarding the Gay male speech article. Any opinion on categories such as these?
For anyone replying to me, there is no need to ping me. I'll check back. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:15, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Video games with custom soundtrack support

Nominator's rationale: This is a non-"defining" trait. A spot check of articles in the category had none even mentioning a custom soundtrack feature, nevertheless as a defining trait of the release. czar 00:57, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Futsal in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf

Nominator's rationale: C2F: One eponymous article UA3 (talk) 00:07, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep.Weak delete, but not speedy (see below). It was simply underpopulated and now has several articles and subcategories. Still not entirely convinced that it's a useful way of splitting the articles (do we have many categories sorted by Arabian states of the Persian Gulf?) It's definitely not a C2F now (actually it never was - the article wasn't eponymous). Grutness...wha? 02:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC) (edited 06:01, 13 November 2019 (UTC))[reply]
Comment: Grutness, Looking into the user who created this category and several others with "Arab states of the Persian Gulf" (1, 2, 3 and 4), I find him obsessed with the Persian Gulf naming dispute and is pushing this term in several Wiki articles. I don't know if this violates Wikipedia policies, but I don't see this subcategorization adding any value. Regards, UA3 (talk) 04:21, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough - in that case, changing my !vote to weak delete.Grutness...wha? 06:01, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, unnecessarily narrow region, unrelated to futsal. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
