Category:Anti-anarchism in Japan

[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: dual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 12:20, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category has near-complete topical overlap with its parent, Category:Anarchism in Japan. The parent topic is sufficient for addressing the history of anarchism (and by extension, anti-anarchism) in Japan. czar 23:06, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Shouldn't it be upmerged then? Mason (talk) 00:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They were already in the parent category at the time. But per the below edit, now they'd have to be dual-merged. czar 04:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:23, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge, these categories are a small intersection that doesn't help navigation. In the same spirit as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_7#Emigrants_from_former_countries Mason (talk) 22:09, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't think it's defining - I can see the idea of someone becoming a villain, criminal or what have you because of a nihilistic perspective, but that in itself is overly vague and incredibly subjective. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 21:31, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:24, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:NONDEF. This is not defining, or a character could be part of a more defining category (such as executioners, spies, soldiers or what have you). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 21:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Can this possibly be defining? It's generally just a character quirk, if that. It is far too minor to be a defining trait for a fictional character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 20:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not really necessary. Midtown is a collection of neighborhoods in central Manhattan. It isn't a neighborhood itself. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:58, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: there were a few people whom I've moved to the appropriate subcategories in Category:People from Manhattan. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:56, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    merge per nom Mason (talk) 22:32, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as this category now only contains subcategories. However, this is emphatically not per nom, since our article on Midtown Manhattan clearly says that this is also a neighborhood, and "Midtown" refers both to a central business district and to the wider collection of neighborhoods around that district. At some point in the future, a new subcategory may need to be created for people from the central business district, including Charles K. Eagle, but this is outside the scope of this CfD. Epicgenius (talk) 15:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC) (Edited. Epicgenius (talk) 21:35, 20 December 2023 (UTC))[reply]
    @Epicgenius, Midtown Manhattan is a district with several neighborhoods within it. Since there are categories for New York City for boroughs Category:People from New York City by borough and neighborhoods Category:People from New York City by neighborhood, it would not make sense to create ANOTHER category for people who live in business districts in New York City (see Category:Central business districts in New York City) when the other two cover them sufficiently. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:19, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Omnis Scientia, yes, Midtown Manhattan can be considered to consist of several neighborhoods. This includes the neighborhood roughly bounded by Eighth Avenue, 59th Street, Park/Lexington Avenue, and 42nd Street. With the exception of the blocks surrounding Times Square, this area doesn't really have a separate identity and is known merely as "Midtown Manhattan". This makes up the central business district I was talking about. There is no category for this area, but other midtown neighborhoods such as Hell's Kitchen and Chelsea have their own subcategories.
    Since there is no category for people from the area I was talking about, I am not convinced that "it would not make sense to create another category" for this area. If there exist categories for people from the Upper West Side and Upper East Side (which are larger), I think it makes sense to have a category for people from central Midtown, for greater precision. Epicgenius (talk) 15:46, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Epicgenius, Upper West Side and Upper East Side are explicitly labled as neighborhoods. Meanwhile, Midtown Manhattan's article lists neighborhoods within it. Also, there are unofficial boundaries on maps in the three articles and the Midtown Manhattan one shows it is a collection of neighborhoods. Clearly not the same. Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, but you still haven't addressed my point that there is, at present, no category for people in the central portion of Midtown. I'm sorry, but I'm still not seeing why this particular part of Midtown should not have a category.
    Also, if you are using the maps in the infoboxes as a basis for nominating this category for deletion, it's worth noting that the maps are simplified. Both the UWS and UES have sub-neighborhoods, but these were all consolidated into one shape when the maps were created. The UES contains sub-neighborhoods such as Yorkville and Lenox Hill, while the UWS includes Lincoln Square and Manhattan Valley. Epicgenius (talk) 15:57, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm assuming it is because they partially overlap since neighborhoods tend not to have boundaries. And there are former historic neighborhoods as well. I should also add, I'm going by the Template:Manhattan which lists Midtown as a section and the remaining you have listed as neighborhoods.
    Additionally, not every neighborhood in the New York City has a category for people. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:35, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of festivals in the United States by state or region

[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: rename.
Nominator's rationale: Adding to older nom Mason (talk) 19:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, "region" is redundant. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support in principle, but I think renaming it to be Category:Lists of festivals in the United States by state or territory would be capture the broader intent and mean that Puerto rico and other territories could be added if they were to ever exist Mason (talk) 22:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting in light of the late addition.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlastertalk 19:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename with territory in both instances (it's currently specified only in the music category and not in the lists one). Even if the likes of Puerto Rico and Guam and the US Virgin Islands don't already have lists yet, the category should be consistent with other like categories so that PR and Guam and USVI lists can be added to them, instead of having to go through another round of follow-up renaming, when somebody gets around to creating them. Bearcat (talk) 16:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename both per Bearcat. –Aidan721 (talk) 03:54, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The political regime isn't defining and effectively this category serves to remove people from more specific categories. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Struben&oldid=1189382104 Mason (talk) 23:09, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose -- This refers to the Africaans republic also known as Transvaal, existing 1852-1902. This would need to be distinguished from settlers in Cape Colony and Natal, which were British colonies. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:01, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge all. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:02, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT that only contains two smaller categories. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 16:10, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge we don't need to divide Category:Fictional scientists any further than by occupation. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 17:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. By the way, Category:Fictional characters by occupation looks like a gigantic chaotic mess right now. AHI-3000 (talk) 17:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have subcategorized dozens of categories already, so it was an even more chaotic mess before. Though it should be said that a lot of the categories were originally in the right place before they were removed to go into the now-deleted categories and now have to be recategorized. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 18:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And I still feel like we need Category:Fictional people in law enforcement as a layer. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 18:53, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting Category:Fictional characters by occupational types was one thing, but I think we should've kept most of the subcategories within it, especially the subcategories for illegal occupations, judicial/penal system, law enforcement, military, etc. And regarding these scientist subcategories, I think we also at least should've kept "Fictional scientists by field" to contain them.

Nominator's rationale: Undefined mixture of multiverse and time travel concepts; for example, Final Destination and The Minority Report are about precognition, while Category:Time loop is self-explanatory. The entries and subcategories are, or should be, in other branches of Category:Time in fiction or Category:Parallel universes in fiction, but the merge targets are not necessarily the same in all cases. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 08:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I recently closed this discussion to move Category:Fictional mermen and mermaids to Category:Fictional merfolk, and to split other entries into a new category, Category:Fiction about merfolk. However, Category:Fiction about mermaids already exists as the parent to "Fictional merfolk". I'd like to suggest that "Fiction about mermaids" be renamed and the split redirected to the newly renamed category instead. bibliomaniac15 05:51, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: combine to Category:Fictional characters with mental disorders (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:01, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging or renaming these related categories into each other:
Nominator's rationale: So we have this set of four categories connected together, which are all about mental/neurological/psychiatric/psychological disorders. I don't have a formal plan yet, but I think we can all agree that at least one or more of these categories are redundant or superfluous. They certainly need to be merged and simplified somehow. AHI-3000 (talk) 02:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update: per LaundryPizza03's suggestion, my current proposal is to keep Category:Fictional characters with mental disorders, and merge the other three categories into it. Any subcategories that are not about mental disorders should be removed. AHI-3000 (talk) 06:55, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support in principle: I think that we should model the names after the people with disabilities categories. Mason (talk) 06:01, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Going by Smasongarrison's suggestion, we should merge all to Category:Fictional characters with mental disorders, which is the fictional counterpart of Category:People with mental disorders, and then purge subcategories that are not for mental disorders. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 08:22, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I like Laundry's suggestion. If the real-life counterpart is about people with mental disorders, then the combined fictional character category should follow a similar naming pattern. AHI-3000 (talk) 18:40, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Misspelled, duplicate to Category:Uzbekistan navigational boxes. Recategorize contents to the correctly spelled category and delete. DB1729talk 00:18, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my bad. I've recategorized the contents of the cat with the typo. It should now be deleted. Nataev talk 02:53, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
