October 10

[edit]

Category:Malagasy masculine given names

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only one. Can EASILY be combined into main cat. Roasted (talk) 23:01, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Straggler LGBT categories

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Categories which lack the Q; rename per Talk:LGBTQ#Requested move 14 August 2024, WP:CONSUB, WP:C2C, and WP:C2D. Similar renames have been opposed at CFDS, so I am starting a full discussion. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:55, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT articles by importance

[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: speedy delete. I forgot about WP:C4. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:51, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: {{WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies}} does not actually take an |importance= parameter. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Shopping centres in Stirling (council area)

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single category, unhelpful for navigation. Also merge to Category:Buildings and structures in Stirling (council area) AusLondonder (talk) 12:29, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:African aviators

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There are no other aviators by continent categories (unless you want to count Category:Australian aviators). The other option is to create them and diffuse Category:Aviators by nationality. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retain: What is done for one continent does not have to be done identically for all other continents, no such requirement. Very few aviators from Africa are the subjects of an article. This makes this category more notable. Pete unseth (talk) 12:51, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. If kept then I suggest create a Category:Aviators by continent and make for other continents as well. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shopping malls in Sharjah

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Contains a single article and is unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 11:51, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shopping malls in Ankara

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Contains a single article and is unhelpful for navigation. Merge also to Category:Buildings and structures in Ankara. AusLondonder (talk) 11:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shopping malls in Al Rayyan

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Contains a single article and is unhelpful for navigation. Merge also to Category:Al Rayyan. AusLondonder (talk) 11:29, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mosques of Leicestershire

[edit]

Also propose renaming Category:Mosques of Lincolnshire to Category:Mosques in Lincolnshire
Nominator's rationale: Compatibility with Category:Mosques in England and Category:Churches in Leicestershire, etc. PamD 10:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Streets in Crawley and Nedlands

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category arbitrarily combining two suburbs of Perth, unclear. Contains one street and a list of streets. Appears to be WP:NONDEF. Propose a merge to parent category. AusLondonder (talk) 10:33, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - at the time it was not arbitrarily, and for the record there were real life attempts in collaboration to work on the process of expanding material about streets in Perth. Seems to have died a death, some time ago. JarrahTree 10:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Oronzio De Nora

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category that does not appear warranted as it contains only the company founded by the subject and his nephew who is notable for other reasons. AusLondonder (talk) 10:16, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to the three articles currently in this category, a fourth article which I plan to work on about Amuchina which Oronzio De Nora invented would also be in this category. Is there a minimum number of articles needed to warrant a category? I have seen many categories with less than 4 articles. Possummayhem (talk) 15:50, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Labor disputes in Mali

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only article in this category is 2020 Malian protests not a specific industrial dispute. Unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 08:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2020s debut plays

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I would like to propose Category:2020s debut plays for deletion; the scope of the category is near-identical to Category:2020s plays (recording the year/decade that a play is first performed) but also as the category, two-and-a-half years after creation, has only had two articles added to it. It is, in my opinion, redundant and requires deletion.--OGBC1992 (talk) 06:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This nomination was malformed and has been fixed. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Statues of Simón Bolívar

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to parent cat. Unnecessary intersection between person and location. Omnis Scientia (talk) 04:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Film and television memes

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This category currently looks like a trivial and non-defining mess. It is filled with all of these different things known for their status as a meme. However not every single article in this category mentions the existence of a meme, and the redirects aren't helpful either because no sources can be applied to them. Furthermore, only very few out of the 329 pages in this category are for the individual memes themselves such as Truck-kun. Should we only include the individual memes, we would be left with less than 20 articles (no redirects included). If you are willing to oppose this request, please think for a minute and read this previous discussion that lead to the deletion of Category:Music memes [2]

QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Purge. However, if a purge cannot be done or this category is again filled with this many unrelated entries, then it's better to just delete then have this cruft. For a page to fit this category it has to be about the meme, not something that mentions the meme, not a character that appears in the meme. Gonnym (talk) 10:34, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Malaysian hoteliers

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only has 1 entry. LibStar (talk) 03:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge – I tried populating it with PetScan, but all I could find was Gaston Dutronquoy (who might barely count as a Malaysian hotelier, by a technicality). jlwoodwa (talk) 04:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to North Macedonia

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation as only contains a list article, List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to North Macedonia, which is already appropriately categorised. AusLondonder (talk) 03:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge for now – the list only has redlinks. I don't think the list article is already appropriately categorised – what about Category:North Macedonia–United Kingdom relations? Also, for future reference, this could have been speedied under WP:C2F. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, you are right I will add that category. AusLondonder (talk) 04:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Guinea-Bissau

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article for someone who served as a non-resident ambassador. Pointless and unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 03:06, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Years in Shigatse

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, this tree exclusively contains buildings and structures which we never put directly in a year category. For countries we have "establishments by year" categories but I have never seen that for cities. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:27, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
