Revision as of 21:04, 17 February 2023
February 15
Category:Physician and comedian
- Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by intersection of unrelated traits. As always, the category system is not a tool for making lists of absolutely any intersection of traits that happens to describe two or more article topics -- just because some arbitrary number of people can be found who happen to have been both physicians and comedians (either at the same time or at different times in their lives) is not in and of itself a valid basis for a category. And even if there were a valid basis to keep this, it would still have to be renamed for accordance with Wikipedia's naming conventions for categories (i.e. pluralized) anyway. Bearcat (talk) 23:57, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with Nominator. This category is not Notable OrewaTel (talk) 01:38, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Disagree with Nominator. Highly notable people are both, usually a doctor becoming a comedian. It is also an unusual, notable choice. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 02:21, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- This information is most interesting. The best way to make it available to the reader will certainly be to write a list article of doctors who have been comedians, per the guideline on Categories. Place Clichy (talk) 10:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, it is an unusual combination, but trivial from an encyclopedic point of view. These people are notable as a physician, or as a comedian, or both, but not because of the combination. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, trivial category. Similar categories such as Polymaths were deleted repeatedly with a wide consensus: 2013 January 20, 2007 December 29. WP:SNOWBALL may apply. Place Clichy (talk) 10:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Deborah Carlos-Valencia
- Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a person without a sufficient volume of spinoff content to warrant an eponymous category. There are just two things here besides the eponym herself, which is nowhere near sufficient to justify an eponymous category. Bearcat (talk) 23:52, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:FPJ's Ang Probinsyano cast
- Nominator's rationale: WP:PERFCAT for the cast of a television series. As always, we do not categorize actors for individual acting roles they may have had, as this would result in extreme category bloat as we added a category for every television series, and a category for every film, that they were ever in. Bearcat (talk) 23:50, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Namesakes of San Francisco streets
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCTRIVIA. Having a street named after someone is "unrelated or wholly peripheral to the topic's notability." User:Namiba 23:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Notability OrewaTel (talk) 01:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. It is a category that is relevant to local history. Disagree with respect, User:Namiba: San Francisco's streets were named after specific people **with specific intent**, over time. It is a historically notable distinction for people like Gaspar de Portolá, John D. Sloat, etc. The Wikipedia page for California_State_Route_1 explains it's named for Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo and that's appropriate and even expected, for the same reason. Repeater-reclaim (talk) 20:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- That is interesting but irrelevant for categorization. This is about whether people in the category are defined by having a street named after them and that is obviously not the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom as trivial. That's typically the kind of thing you would expect to find (if sourced) at the bottom of an article, in a section on homage received that may include the list of streets named after a person. In the other direction, a list of streets in San Francisco with links is also possible. Category? No. Place Clichy (talk) 20:25, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Trade fairs in Gothenburg
- Nominator's rationale: too granular. WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Estopedist1 (talk) 21:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom, but merge to Category:Events in Gothenburg. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:42, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Since there is only one entry there is no need to merge. Just audit the correct categories for Gothenburg Book Fair. OrewaTel (talk) 02:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Merging has the same effect as auditing the correct categories for Gothenburg Book Fair but can be done by a bot. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Fairgrounds in Sweden
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. In addition: unique category name in Baltoscandinavia countries categories. Estopedist1 (talk) 20:32, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom, but merge to Category:Fairgrounds. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:46, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Audit the categories belonging to the sole entry. OrewaTel (talk) 02:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Auditoriums in Sweden
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. In addition: unique category name in Baltoscandinavia countries categories Estopedist1 (talk) 20:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom, but merge to Category:Auditoriums and Category:Event venues in Sweden. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Redundant OrewaTel (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Song recordings arranged by Paul Buckmaster
- Nominator's rationale: Not a developed scheme. Categories for production of song recordings take it to the producer level only. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Gary Clark Jr.
- Nominator's rationale: Not enough content yet to warrant an eponymous category per WP:OCEPON. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:50, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:21, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Politics by city in Latvia
- Nominator's rationale: only major cities can have notable politics actions. Latvia is a small country and basically with only one major city: Riga. Category has no potential to grow. In addition: unique category in Baltoscandinavia countries categories Estopedist1 (talk) 16:23, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom, but merge to Category:Politics by city and Category:Politics of Latvia. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:23, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Residents of 10 Downing Street
- Nominator's rationale: Delete as overcategorisation by address. 10 Downing Street is perhaps the best known address in the UK but shared addresses are overcategorisation. Note also that this is technically the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the two posts have not always been held by the same person. In addition several post holders did not actually reside in Number 10 for various reasons, with some using existing London homes and others swapping with other ministers due to family requirements (e.g. Tony Blair resided at Number 11 which has a larger flat more suitable for a couple with several children). Timrollpickering (talk) 15:04, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, too much overlap with the prime ministers category. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I was expecting a cat or two might have been added. It's particularly silly to add the whole of the topic category Category:Tony Blair (etc) as this adds all sorts of non-people to a people set category. Oculi (talk) 21:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete It simply comprises a list of Prime Ministers. If it included all the spouses, offspring and pets, it might serve a purpose but then I'd say it would not be notable. OrewaTel (talk) 01:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose The rational does not make sense at all. The category is following the List of residents of 10 Downing Street, not a list of prime ministers. Several of the residents were never Prime Ministers or Lords of the Treasury. The list includes residents from the 17th century, and several civil servants who were granted the residence. Dimadick (talk) 15:30, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Then let it be a list. That will certainly be better for user navigation, completeness of information and presentation of reliable sources, things that a category cannot guaranty. Place Clichy (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Categorizing people by the various street addresses they lived at is not a good idea. Wait, it's a famous address? Well, that's just because it is famous for PMs who lived there, who should be categorized as PMs. Other residents should be mentioned in the list article, the accidently-acquired additional notoriety is certainly not defining. BTW I believe that most governmental buildings in the old capitals of Europe (and maybe elsewhere) were (with exceptions) not purpose-built and have a history prior to their present use. This prior history will be better presented at the article about the building. Place Clichy (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Fictional women soldiers and warriors
- Nominator's rationale: Consistency with parent Category:Fictional females and other Category:Fictional females by occupation categories. Although inconsistent with other women categories, in case of fictional characters "female" is more inclusive and preferred because not all fictional characters are human. There have been depictions of females from other species. --Wahspsneh (talk) 23:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reference: Gender as an adjective.
- Comment: If consensus is in favor of overhauling the entire gender categories into an agreed upon standard (fictional, real, or otherwise), then I recommend moderate split that into a separate proposal, given the scope of that exceeds this proposal. --Wahspsneh (talk) 21:02, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, this would create inconsistency with the parent Category:Women warriors. It would probably be better to move the subcategories to "women". Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Regarding nom's latter comment (just added), even in rare cases of fictional soldiers not being human, if there is a verifiable gender distinction then surely the characters are humanoid enough to refer to them as men and women. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support not all are adults, "women warriors" should instead be "female warriors", since child soldiers is a thing. -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 05:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- All should be adults because the category is currently named "women". In fact this is an extra argument for keeping it to women, in order to prevent overcategorization of fictional girl soldiers who are just fine in Category:Fictional child soldiers. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support. The proposed rename to "female soldiers and warriors" sounds grammatically better than "women soldiers and warriors". And as someone else stated, it would also be inclusive of non-adult characters.--AHI-3000 (talk) 20:04, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose — move all the subcategories to "women". Since at least 2008, this has been affirmed repeatedly. Under Category:Gender, the pattern is fairly simple:
- Category:Female is only biology and sex.
- Category:Women are Category:People: by location, by occupation, and everything else.
- Category:Fictional characters are under Category:People.

- Oppose - per the 3 reasons given by William Allen Simpson. It is Category:Fictional females that should be renamed, as a subcat of Category:Women in art (C2C). Oculi (talk) 21:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Chinese Central Asia
- Propose renaming Category:Chinese Central Asia to Category:History of Western China
- Nominator's rationale: rename and purge the two subcategories, this is clearly a collection of history articles and the main article is Western China rather than Chinese Central Asia. Alternative: diffuse among Category:History of Xinjiang and siblings. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:08, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose areas like Sichuan, which are part of Western China, are typically not counted as part of Central Asia, even in the most expansive definitions of the region. Constantine ✍ 16:06, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Then the alternative is probably a better option. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:21, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: the category is not just about Xinjiang, but generally about Chinese-ruled parts of Central Asia, the extent of which varied over time during the last two millennia. Something like what the IP below suggests would be closer to it. Constantine ✍ 07:41, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Cplakidas: I realize it is more than Xinjiang, I said diffuse among Category:History of Xinjiang and siblings. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:49, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- But Xinjiang, as a name and territory, is a relatively recent thing,, whereas the phenomenon of Chinese presence/rule in Central Asia is much older. I don't see what we gain by abolishing a category that is flexibly defined to cover this historic phenomenon, in order to conform to modern borders. Constantine ✍ 17:58, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Cplakidas: Category:History of Xinjiang is full of articles about the region before the name Xinjiang was used. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:59, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Indubitably. Because we tend to categorize things by what we are familiar with, and prefer precise delineations. I remember a striking exhibition of the pitfalls of this sort of recentism in the Historiska museum in Stockholm: on one wall, stone age tools categorized by province by museum curators ca. 1900, and on the other, modern toilet brushes, also organized by province.
- My point here is that this category is not about Xinjiang or any modern political entity specifically: it is about a historical phenomenon that has no clear boundary, but has been an evolving cultural and political process. It usefulness is precisely that, just like Category:Roman North Africa or Category:Spanish Africa. Constantine ✍ 10:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment the Han once controlled the Ferghana Valley, so perhaps this should be Category: History of Chinese control in Central Asia -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 06:22, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- We agree on having the title start with "History of". This particular category title (and not just the title but the category as such) would be a bit outlierish though: we do not have a tree of Category: History of Chinese control by region. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:49, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Alt diffuse among Category:History of Xinjiang and siblings. Categorize history by currently populated places, not by vague region, not by former empire control. We don't currently have Category:History of Southern China either, and there's no Category:History of Korean control in Asia.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 14:19, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Suggest alt renaming to Category:History of the Western Regions or Category:History of the Chinese Western Regions, per Western Regions. This seems to be the main article about the topic, and is defined as Chinese involvement west of the Hexi Corridor in early times (mostly Han & Tang periods). I agree that this should not be linked to any modern subdivision such as Xinjiang. Also, it is a different topic from what is defined by article Western China, which includes e.g. Yunnan and Shaanxi, completely unrelated to this topic. @Cplakidas, Marcocapelle, and William Allen Simpson: ping for feedback. Place Clichy (talk) 11:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support looks like a good solution to me. Constantine ✍ 11:42, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable indeed. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:48, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support looks like a good solution to me. Constantine ✍ 11:42, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ambiguous temporally temporary perspective.
- The template for the article is {{History of Xinjiang}}; that really seems a more appropriate category.
- Apparently, I've been too concise. We've been fighting these perspective issues for many years. Greek versus Macedonian, Ukrainian versus Russian Empire, et cetera ad infinitum.
- The chosen solution is anchor with current modern location names, then accurately document the history from all sides.
- A chinese perspective might very well view these as "western", but the peoples there at the time were Turks (or some variation), who themselves divided into eastern and western regions which don't correspond to this chinese-centric nomenclature.
- Better to use modern locations.
- William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- While the history of Xinjiang is related to this category, it also has content beyond the limits of present-day Xinjiang or 19th- & 20th-century East Turkestan: Anyang funerary bed, Emperor Taizong's campaign against Xueyantuo, Jibin, Battle of Irtysh River etc. The right question is: what is really (or should be) the scope of this category? Imho, looking at content, it deals with Chinese involvement West of the limites of China proper, mostly in the Tang dynasty (7th-10th centuries). I agree that a purely geographic term is better than a present-day jurisdiction to describe a loosely-defined region whose limits, obviously, changed in time. I note that the East Turkestan article talks about several terms used in history, also mentioning Chinese Turkestan. Maybe Chinese Central Asia should redirect there. Regarding Tang-period history, I'm afraid that the Chinese-centric view is probably unavailable seen that historiography and sources on this period are, unsurprisingly, quasi-exclusively Chinese material.

Category:Obi-Wan Kenobi (TV series) characters
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. All characters are already in more appropriate Star Wars character categories so no merge is needed. ★Trekker (talk) 12:25, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. There are categories for a multidude of SW tv series characters. Unfortunate that it creates more category bloat, but I can see its use. Kbdank71 03:05, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete — created by a banned user.

From my observation, compared to the other categories you nominated for merging or deletion, this category happens to be the only one which has a subcategory Category:Shopping malls in Lagos that also contains several articles. What's your take on this? :Eruditescholar (talk) 17:57, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Right, Category:Shopping malls in Lagos should not be deleted but moved up into Category:Retailing in Lagos and Category:Tourist attractions in Lagos. It's already in Category:Commercial buildings in Lagos, so does not need to be in "Buildings and structures". – Fayenatic London 18:19, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Modernist architecture in Lagos
- Nominator's rationale: Merge as WP:SMALLCATs with only one or two pages. – Fayenatic London 10:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Gothic Architecture in Lagos
- Propose renaming Category:Gothic Architecture in Lagos to Category:Gothic architecture in Nigeria
- Nominator's rationale: This is a WP:SMALLCAT with only two pages. Broadening out to the national level would allow the Neo-Gothic National Christian Centre to be added. – Fayenatic London 10:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Note: if not renamed to Nigeria, it should be renamed to lowercase "Gothic architecture in Lagos". – Fayenatic London 10:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Amateur theatre companies in Latvia
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. By the way, the parent category:Amateur theatre companies by country is poorly developed, and rarely amateur theatre companies meets Wikipedia notability criteria Estopedist1 (talk) 09:16, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Theatre companies, Category:Theatre in Latvia, and Category:Arts organisations based in Latvia. Also would recommend adding Category:Theatre companies in Latvia to this nomination as it will be empty if this is deleted/merged. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:45, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support including merge proposal OrewaTel (talk) 02:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Aviation schools in Estonia
- Nominator's rationale: only one aviation school in Estonia. Category has no potential to grow Estopedist1 (talk) 08:11, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Aviation schools, Category:Aviation in Estonia and Category:Technical universities and colleges in Estonia. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Professional wrestling events in Japan in 2008
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. No need to merge as it is already in other appropriate categories. User:Namiba 05:37, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. In addition there aren't any other of these year categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Abuja architecture
- Nominator's rationale: Unclear definition, as there is no article describing Abuja architecture. User:Namiba 03:46, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support, but manually merge to Category:Buildings and structures in Abuja. Presumably the nominated category is just a duplicate. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Filipino women's volleyball Outside Hitters
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intersection between Category:Outside hitters and Category:Filipino women's volleyball players Engr. Smitty Werben 01:24, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- It seems a very narrow intersection indeed. If kept, at least remove the subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reverted good faiths revisions by author. Category has been emptied. WP:OVERCAT. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, this category has been emptied. Also, a day or so ago, I deleted a category with a similar name that was misspelled and mistitled. Liz Read! Talk! 01:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
