- The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:04, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Rulers of Frisia to Category:Monarchs of Frisia
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:C2D main article List of monarchs of Frisia, which I just renamed after reaching agreement on the talk page, and re-parenting some (grand)child cats so that all would fit in the Category:Monarchs tree. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Category:People of the Dutch East Indies

- The result of the discussion was: option B (from foo). (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:03, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Option A
-
- Propose renaming Category:People of the Dutch East Indies to Category:Dutch East Indies people
- Propose renaming Category:Netherlands New Guinea people to Category:Dutch New Guinea people
- Option B
-
- Propose renaming Category:People of the Dutch East Indies to Category:People from the Dutch East Indies
- Propose renaming Category:Netherlands New Guinea people to Category:People from Dutch New Guinea
- Nominator's rationale: Option A would match Dutch East Indies people by century and its sub-cats. Option B changes "of" to "from" following recent precedents, but there are also recent precedents for the pattern in Option A. Note: the century sub-cats and Category:People of the Dutch East Indies by occupation + its sub-cats can follow this CFD using the Speedy page. Fayenatic London 21:37, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Option B per People from Fooland precedents. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support either way, at least do not use "of". Marcocapelle (talk) 05:18, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Option B as it avoids pseudo-demonym constructions. Plain English is best. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:10, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Option A - using 'from' seems to involve a change of scope in the eyes of some editors. Do not use of and do change 'Netherlands' to 'Dutch' (per Dutch New Guinea). Oculi (talk) 10:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- What editors eyes see a change of scope? My eyes don't see a change. What change do your eyes see? My eyes also fail to see the nomination for "Emigrants from Venezuala" which you nominated. Can you point me to the discussion please? Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- 'From' has been found to be clearer in a series of recent CfRs ever since the Category:People from the Russian Empire precedent. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- What editors eyes see a change of scope? My eyes don't see a change. What change do your eyes see? My eyes also fail to see the nomination for "Emigrants from Venezuala" which you nominated. Can you point me to the discussion please? Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Sephardic to Sephardi

- Propose renaming Category:American Sephardic Jews to Category:American Sephardi Jews
- Propose renaming Category:American people of Sephardic-Jewish descent Category:American people of Sephardi descent
- Propose renaming Category:People of Sephardic-Jewish descent to Category:People of Sephardi descent

- Propose renaming Category:20th-century American Sephardic Jews to Category:20th-century American Sephardi Jews
- Propose renaming Category:21st-century American Sephardic Jews to Category:21st-century American Sephardi Jews
- Nominator's rationale: "Sephardi" is used for all other Sephardi-related categories. These few are the only that use "Sephardic". Rename for consistency. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 19:22, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per main article Sephardic Jews, which was moved to its current name on 28 November 2022 by consensus. Therefore, the opposite should happen: all categories with "Sephardi" in it should be renamed "Sephardic" per WP:C2D. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:43, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Nl Leeuw. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:19, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose we should follow the main article to allow easy navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:10, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, but I note that consistency is overrated. We usually refer to Ashkenazi Jews, not Ashkenazic, but Sephardic Jews, not Sephardi. However, both Ashkenazic and Sephardi (along with Sephardim) can be used in text without confusion or looking particularly odd. It's not essential to make all related categories match each other; sometimes it makes sense, and other times it's better to follow common practice even when that creates inconsistency, especially when that's how people are likely to search for things. P Aculeius (talk) 11:37, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Fair. I'm not in a hurry to nominate all categories to make them comply with the main article, but if we are gonna make anything consistent, then WP:C2D should be followed rather than this nom. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:39, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Paratriathletes of Russia to Category:Russian triathletes and Category:Paratriathletes
- Propose moving Category:Paratriathletes of Spain to Category:Paralympic triathletes of Spain
- Propose merging Category:Paratriathletes of Tunisia to Category:Tunisian triathletes and Category:Paratriathletes
- Propose moving Category:Paratriathletes of the United States to Category:Paralympic triathletes of the United States
- Nominator's rationale: Currently included in the Category:Paralympic competitors by sport and country, category names do not reflect that as all paratriathletes or likewise are not necessarily Paralympic competitors. Categories are formatted (or what to call it) as an Olympic/Paralympic category (Sportspeople of Foo instead of Fooian sportspeople) and I have not yet found any larger or longer-included parasport having a cross-category Category:Fooian (parasport)people from Category:(Parasport)people and Category:Fooian (sports)people.
- Four categories with one non-Paralympic connection are proposed merge. A couple have a single Paralympic connection, but small categories seem accepted in the sub-categorisation scheme.
- Note: One subcategory not included here, Category:Paracanoeists of Tahiti, is currently proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 30. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 17:12, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment, using "para" twice sounds a bit odd. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:05, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- The two have para-, as the only two, starting their name in the 2020 Summer Paralympics and Summer Paralympic Games lists, but in Paralympic sports it is skipped. I have no problem skipping the second paras. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 19:19, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Query is there any notable paratriathlete who is not also a paralympian? In not, then the proposal would introduce a redundancy. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:12, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Parasportspeople tend to move between different sports and there are a couple of articles with people who have been Paralympic in one sport and noted in World championships or similar in another, two are David Blair (rower) and Charles Moreau (cyclist). These need to be recategorised afterwards. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 13:31, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Suggestion: just noticed this while replying to another proposal. Wouldn't it be simpler to say "paralympic canoeists" or "paralympic triathletes" instead of "paralympic paracanoeists" and "paralympic paratriathletes"? That is, assuming that there aren't any notable paracanoeists or paratriathletes who aren't paralympians, in which case the move might narrow the scope of the categories undesirably by excluding otherwise notable paracanoeists and paratriathletes, as suggested above. If the competitors are paralympians, shouldn't it be presumed that they're paracanoeists and paratriathletes? And is it terrible of me to wonder about skydiving as a paralympic sport? We could have "Paraguayan paralympic paraparachutists"... P Aculeius (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- That is the most intuitive solution and nom also replied earlier that they have no problem with it. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:40, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Updated nomination to match two comments about double "para" in proposed category names. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 11:11, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Category:Hungarian-speaking countries and territories
[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 to Category:Countries and territories where Hungarian is an official language and purge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:40, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C parent Category:Countries and territories by official language, children Category:Municipalities in Slovakia where Hungarian is an official language and Category:Populated places in Croatia where Hungarian is an official language.
- Follow-up to "Category:Countries and territories by language", "Category:Hungarian-speaking territorial units in Croatia", and "Category:Hungarian communities in Slovakia". Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:40, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- This would have the strange consequence that Székely Land which is largely about the Hungarian-speaking people in that region who are denied any official status would be excluded from the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but the reason why both its parent and its two children were renamed with
official language
is exactly because any other standard than official language is WP:ARBITRARYCAT, WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, WP:NONDEFINING, and suffers from problems of WP:V and WP:OR. It's only logical that this category in between follows the decisions made about its parent and children. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:51, 12 May 2023 (UTC)- "Official" works in some countries but not in others, dependent on politics towards ethnic minorities. There is no WP:OR here, Hungarian language is one of the main topics of the article beyond any doubt. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- That Hungarian language is one of the main topics of the article is true, but there is no justification for claiming the entirety of "Székely Land" as a "Hungarian-speaking territory". If it can (still) even be called a "territory" (which it officially ceased to be in 1876). Definitions of what "Székely Land" even is vary widely, and neither the former borders nor the "proposed borders" coincide with the Hungarian-language majority areas: File:Szekely Land issues.svg. The Szekler National Council apparently thinks it's okay to claim areas with Romanian-speaking majorities including the city of Târgu Mureș as part of "Székely Land", which is really questionable. I do not think we should go along with dubious nationalistic claims that are factually incorrect.
- In short: "Székely Land" is in Category:Székely Land (a grandchild of Category:Hungarians in Romania) and Category:Historical regions of Transylvania, which is correct. But Category:Hungarian-speaking countries and territories is a misleading category for this item, I must insist that it is WP:OR. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:07, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- "Official" works in some countries but not in others, dependent on politics towards ethnic minorities. There is no WP:OR here, Hungarian language is one of the main topics of the article beyond any doubt. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but the reason why both its parent and its two children were renamed with
- Oppose create the target anyway and have it as a child of Category:Hungarian-speaking countries and territories . Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:14, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- That wouldn't solve the WP:ARBITRARYCAT, WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, WP:NONDEFINING, WP:V, and WP:OR issues for which its parent and children were renamed. It's only logical that this category in between follows the decisions made about its parent and children. I could do what you ask, and separately create the target cat and fill it with the two subcats and all items that belong in it, but then I'm gonna CfD the current cat later anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ CfR is just easier and more straightforward. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:54, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Rename and purge as needed. Both the subcats and the parent category, Category:Countries and territories by official language, follow this naming format. (None of the sibling categories in that tree use this naming format though, but this seems well reasoned, matches recent discusisons, and can be a start for the rest.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:22, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Exactly, I'm using this as the most obvious test case after all three were recently renamed in conjunction with each other for the same reasons. This category in between is the missing link between the three. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:48, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose: Apparently, this is a "test case" for wide ranging changes to the "-speaking countries and territories" category tree. I do not think that we should be altering the tree in that way - "official language" is often highly misleading and makes the defining point whatever the powerful happen to say, instead of the reality of who speaks what where (which can in fact be established by reliable sources and regularly is). Furius (talk) 21:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- It is the logical next step after consensus was reached about the parent Category:Countries and territories by official language. By your logic, we would have to un-parent all subcategories for which "official language" was not the DEFINING element. But I demonstrated that "official language" was in fact already explicitly the DEFINING element for 8 subcategories. Moreover, consensus was also reached about renaming the two grandchildren (this category's children) on the basis of official language status as well: Category:Municipalities in Slovakia where Hungarian is an official language and Category:Populated places in Croatia where Hungarian is an official language.
- On what basis other than official language would you want to define Category:Hungarian-speaking countries and territories, the category in between? How do you propose we categorise the reality of who speaks what where (which can in fact be established by reliable sources and regularly is), without turning it into an WP:ARBITRARYCAT? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:18, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Update Sibling Category:German-speaking countries and territories has been renamed Category:Countries and territories where German is an official language.
- Sibling Category:Greek-speaking countries and territories has been renamed Category:Countries and territories where Greek is an official language.
- Sibling Category:Portuguese-speaking countries and territories has been renamed Category:Countries and territories where Portuguese is an official language.
- Niece Category:Italian-speaking territorial units in Croatia has been renamed Category:Populated places in Croatia where Italian is an official language. This category's parent Category:Italian-speaking countries and territories is now in the same situation as Category:Hungarian-speaking countries and territories, and I have CfR'd it as well.

@LaundryPizza03: It's been almost a week, and I notice the category still has not been renamed. Is this because it still needs to be purged? If so, are you going to do that, will someone else (like a backlog cleaner) do it, can/should I do it as nom, or someone else? Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:King lists to Category:Regnal lists
- Propose re-parenting to
??? (please make some good suggestions, I'm at a loss)Category:Documents AND Category:Inscriptions, remove entirely from the Lists tree
- Propose re-parenting to
- Nominator's rationale: WP:C2D main article Regnal list. Also to avoid confusion with Category:Lists of monarchs (which regularly happens).
- Re-parenting We
may evenhave to take it out of its parent category Category:Lists of monarchs to avoid confusion and because itmay not beis the proper place for it,but its grandparent Category:Monarchy-related lists maybe?and per Marcocapelle entirely remove it from the Lists tree, since that tree is about Wikipedia lists, not real lists.The problem is: how else would we categorise Regnal list and this category? And its most basic, regnal lists are just Category:Texts, but they may be Category:Documents (on paper) or Category:Inscriptions (carved in clay, stone, rock, wood etc., like the Abydos King List), so we can't specify it further. The alternative would be to put - Put regnal lists in both Category:Documents AND Category:Inscriptions
?, because they can be written on documents like paper/papyrus/parchment etc. or inscribed into clay tablets, stone walls, rock, wood etc. What else might we add? Category:Sequences in time, perhaps? Category:Lines of succession seems to be about future successions, not past successions. Regnal lists do not claim what should happen, but what has happened already. (Although they may sometimes be inaccurate or fraudulous, they make claims about past sequences of people who have been monarchs in/over a particular area/state or people/society/community).Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:29, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry but I don't see a real distinction between King lists and Lists of monarchs. Can you give a few examples of some king who would be in one but not the other? Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:34, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Laurel Lodged For example, the Sumerian King List#Rulers in the Sumerian King List "Antediluvian rulers" who each allegedly reigned for more than 20,000 years are not mentioned in the List of Mesopotamian dynasties, because
the pre-Sargonic part of the SKL must be considered fictional. Many of the rulers in the pre-Sargonic part (i.e. prior to Sargon of Akkad) of the list must therefore be considered as purely fictional or mythological characters to which reigns of hundreds of years were assigned.
Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:47, 10 May 2023 (UTC)- The commentary at List of Mesopotamian dynasties#Early dynastic period (c. 2900–2350 BC) further explains why the Sumerian King List (SKL) is not used as a source for kings for the Early Dynastic period, unless other contemporary sources corroborate the SKL.

- That seems to point to a parent/child relationship rather than parallel tree structures. That is "Legendary Sumerian kings" as a child of "Sumerian kings". No? So the remedy is renaming, not merging. No? Laurel Lodged (talk) 15:06, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Laurel Lodged Not quite. The Sumerian King List is a group of clay tablets with text carved into them. It exists physically, outside of Wikipedia.
- The List of Mesopotamian dynasties is a web page on Wikipedia, which compiles information from a number of sources (either physical or digital). It does not exist outside the Internet. We Wikipedians created it. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:49, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

- On wiki, "list" means a wiki list. If it's a clay tablet, then that's a whole other thing. A new nmae, but not a neologism, is needed for this situation. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- That's why I propose "Category:Regnal lists" per WP:C2D main article Regnal list. My only question is how it should be parented. My current suggestions for parents are:
Category:Monarchy-related listsper Marcocapelle entirely remove it from the Lists tree, since that tree is about Wikipedia lists, not real lists.Category:Sequences in time?- Category:Documents AND Category:Inscriptions per Paul_012
- ^ These cats are about the medium/material by which these regnal lists have been recorded. Most of the Regnal list#Historical examples are carved in stone walls, the Sumerian King List is carved in clay tablets, the Turin King List is written on papyrus, so only that last one is a "document". (Technically, a list of monarchs on Wikipedia is a digital regnal list, the medium being "the Internet/Wikipedia", so Category:Lists of monarchs should be in Category:Regnal lists rather than the other way around, but that's MOS:SELFREF, WP:CIRC, "breaking the fourth wall" etc., and generally just plain silly).
- Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:55, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure but perhaps Category:Archaeological artifacts might qualify for all the non-document regnal lists, i.e. the inscriptions of successive series of monarchs carved into clay, stone, rock, wood etc.. For the "document" regnal lists written on paper, papyrus, parchment etc. Category:Reference works might actually suit, because that's what it's basically is: a collection of information for reference purposes just in case anyone forgets which king or queen ruled when and in which order.

- Comment: And Leave and I have had a very good and constructive discussion to rename List of legendary monarchs of Ethiopia to 1922 regnal list of Ethiopia, and split off the Regnal lists of Ethiopia as a separate article, in part because of WP:TOOBIG, but also in order to better make this distinction between Wikipedia lists of monarchs on the one hand, and regnal lists which exist in documents/inscriptions outside of Wikipedia on the other. And Leave has done a great job of gathering all this information and improving it so that it is clear what it is about. This case further illustrates the need to distinguish Wikipedia lists of monarchs and document/inscription regnal lists. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 11:26, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose: it is a subcategory to the usefull category "Category:Temples by deity", and Greek deities should not be treated differently from other deities. Perhaps this is a misunderstanding of the category. The temples were not actually named for example "Temple of Artemis". Indeed, we often do not even know the actual name of these temples. The categories are meant to sort ancient greek temples after the deity the temple was dedicated to. Just like we have the category "Category:Kali temples", to find temples dedicated to the goddes Kali, we should have "Category:Temples of Artemis" to find temples dedicated to goddess Artemis, etc. There should be no difference between Greek gods and Hindu gods in this respect. The category of Greek temples was already to large before these sub-categories were created.--Aciram (talk) 10:38, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Aciram: with apologies to @Paul 012: You say "it is a subcategory to the usefull category "Category:Temples by deity"". If that is true, then it is also true for Category:Churches by Patron Saint which is also parented to Category:Temples by deity. Your objections are therefore contradictory. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:01, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but I do not understand your conclusion. This is not a question of the name of a building- It is a question of the building being dedicated to the worship of different dieties. If you want to delete this category, you will have to empty and delete the entire "Category:Temples by deity" and each subcategory it contains. It is not the same thing with :Category:Churches by Patron Saint. The Christian churches all worship the same god, even if they are dedicated to different saints. They are not included in the "Category:Temples by deity". In the cases of :Category:Churches by Patron Saint, it is sorted by the names of buildings, not by the worship of different gods. Because of all these things, it is not contradictive at all, and very different cases. Not that I have ever even been aware of the Category:Churches by Patron Saint-discussion in the first place, but since you brought it up. --Aciram (talk) 15:52, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

- Unlike Catholic churches which are all dedicated to the worship of the same Christian God regardless of their name, these Greek temples are different sects worshipping different gods, so the categorization is very much a matter of reigious practice, not of mere naming. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per above discussion. This is about the main subject of worship in each of these temples. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per above. The link between the buildings in e.g. Category:Temples of Poseidon is not their shared name (and indeed temples not known as the Temple of Poseidon, such as the Temple of Isthmia, are included in the category) but their shared use as temples for the worship of a particular god. In contrast, the various churches of St. Dunstan which the nominator keeps drawing an analogy to are not used for the worship of St. Dunstan particularly, but for the Christian God. These categories are more akin to Category:Mosques or Category:Church buildings, which one hopes nobody would consider based on a non-defining shared name! Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 08:23, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as they are. As others have noted, this is about worship by deity, not mere dedication to a particular theme, as is the case with the patron saints of churches, which do not involve different subjects of worship. To be fair, I would not object to churches by patron saint, except that the categories would be overwhelmed by the vast number of entries under the most common names, and the fact that the churches would cross various denominational lines—a concept that does not really apply to the nominated categories, but which would potentially make the categories non-defining for churches. Even so, I think the practical objection may be the stronger one, since it cannot be easily accommodated even through sorting by denomination. There is no similar objection to the much more modest number of temples from antiquity. P Aculeius (talk) 12:15, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose This is not a shared name, this is the specific deity worshipped. Dimadick (talk) 07:31, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep -- These were places for the worship of the god or goddess. This differs from churches, which are for the worship of God Almighty, but have a patron saint, whose name they bear. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:29, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

- Note: the reason why Category:Oceanian rulers, Category:North American rulers and Category:South American rulers are not nominated here, is because each of them is currently a WP:SMALLCAT, and being proposed for downmerging. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:19, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

- Support -- Most of the sub-cats are about "rulers", but none ruled the whole of Europe. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:31, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: None of the articles in it appear to be Uyghur sub-ethnic groups. I was reviewing the articles in the category and removing them as I did if it didn't appear that they were sub-ethnic groups of Uyghurs and noticed that this seemed to apply to all of them. For the purposes of review, the articles I removed were Taranchi, Äynu people, Dolan people, and Yugurs. ~Cherri of Arctic Circle System (talk) 06:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Insofar applicable, the articles are already in Category:Ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment As the nominator states, this category has been emptied. Please do not do this if you are going to nominate a category for a deletion discussion. It kind of makes the whole discussion pointless. Liz Read! Talk! 01:41, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Dadaist to Category:Dadaists
- Nominator's rationale: This should be renamed to plural. Some subcategories are already renamed (German dadaists), others need a rename (ex. American dadaist, Italian Dadaist - that one is even pointlessly capitalized). This should be a non-controversial technical request, I think...

- @RevelationDirect: I guess you intend to support renaming rather than deletion, right? Marcocapelle (talk) 08:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Correct, fixed. RevelationDirect (talk) 18:26, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
