Comment. Buildings is not redundant since church is also used for congregations. If there is consensus to rename this without buildings, then prior to the rename all of the congregation subcategories and articles will need to be removed to minimize the ambiguity.

Support The point is that these cannot be seperated, as building and congregation share the same articles. As often pointed out before, the American examples typically have lots on the contregation, whereas eg French & Italian ones deal mainly with the buildings; the UK is variable. For European ones, especially the older examples, "established" is often plain wrong, as an older building was replaced. So this is a move in the right direction.

Further comment: I listed these seven discussions separately on the off chance that some editors may feel that the categories for different franchises may have different issues so as to avoid possibly bogging down a mass nomination in "keep these three, delete those two, merge this one" types of !votes. If the community feels that these can all be discussed as a mass nomination then I have no objection to merging all of these nominations into one.

Support. Some recategorisation & changes in head categories would have to follow, but this would be an improvement in clarity. (As there is already a
category:Arab World, I have added a merger of this into your nomination.) -
Fayenatic(talk)20:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Oppose, suggest new name to possibly be
Category:Arabs if need be, since there is really nothing grammatically wrong with the name of this category, and since if the nominator were truly concerned with "grammatical correctness" he should have maybe suggested that this category be fixed and renamed as
Category:Arabs, because "
Arab people" is redundant and bad English, since nobody calls them that, they are known simply as "Arabs" (in the plural, or "Arab" in the singular and also in the grand singular as in
Arab language) and
Arab world refers to modern-day countries connected to politics.

Oppose This issue was discussed very extensively over
Category:African American, & this is how we decided to do it; there are many similar name forms. There is nothing in the least "ungrammatical" about it.
Category:Arabs or "A people" should be the head biographical category.

Question: I now see that this has precedents like
Category:African American and
Category:Slavic, both in using an adjective as the category name, and in being an "ethnic group of X continent/region" category. Given that understanding, I am inclined to change my mind to "keep and repurpose". The existing stated purpose is not appropriate, as it relates instead to
Category:Arab people (or
Category:Arabs if that redirect should get reversed -- but let's leave that out of the scope of this CFD). What should replace that purpose as an explanation of the scope of this category? And should
Category:Arab be a head cat or sub-cat of
Category:Arab World? -
Fayenatic(talk)18:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)reply
It should keep its current contents that do not belong within one of those, but also any categories that go wider than the Arab world (even if, in some cases, they might also belong within category:Arab world) e.g. Arab culture, Arab diaspora, Arabic language, Arabic studies (that's a new one). Have a look at the links above for Slavic and African American. There is scope for someone to make a project of tidying it up, e.g. proposing a merger of
Category:Arab communities outside of Arab League into
Category:Arab diaspora. -
Fayenatic(talk)19:11, 27 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Keep. Another category that would probably exist as a seperate sub-section is
Category:Arab groups. I would also question the redirect of
Category:Arab tribes to
Category:Tribes of Arabia. Arabia is a specific geographical area roughly equivalent to the peninsula between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, but maybe stretching northward into the Syrian Desert. There are Arab tribes that have lived for over a thousand years in parts of North Africa. Should
Category:Arabic be another sub-category of this?
