- The result of the discussion was: MERGE to Category:Tate galleries. - Splash - tk 23:36, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Structures of the Tate galleries to Category:Tate galleries
- Nominator's rationale: This category proposed for merging is for individual art galleries under the "Tate" institutional umbrella: e.g. Tate Britain, Tate Modern etc. The consensus at a previous CfD didn't like the use of simply "Tate" for this institution (despite the title of the main article on the topic) and preferred "Tate galleries", to disambiguate and to clarify that there are several Tate gallery buildings. As a result "Tate structures" was changed to "Structures of the Tate galleries", but this is needlessly clunky; "galleries" makes "structures" redundant. Now that the parent category is called "Tate galleries" it seems like the natural home for the articles on each of the individual galleries. Ham ( talk) 14:28, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- merge per proposal. Mangoe ( talk) 17:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. The present category name is not great, but the scope of the category is well worth retaining: the 5 different galleries run by the Tate. Mergeing them into the parent category will seem them lost in an assortment of other articles. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- My thinking was that the articles
Tate,
Tate Britain,
Tate Liverpool,
Tate Modern and
Tate St Ives could have a space after the piping like so:
[[Category:Tate| ]], so that they would appear at the top of the category apart from the other pages. (Not included at the top would be the page Barbara Hepworth Museum, despite it being in the present Category:Structures of the Tate galleries, as the Tate seems to consider the BHM to be a subsidiary of Tate St Ives – note the navigation menu of the Tate St Ives website.)

- The result of the discussion was: I do give some weight to the comments by Seyasirt, and agree that 'differently bad' is not good enough. Also, DexDor is correct as to the usual use of the category name towards content rather than meaning. For that reason, it is tempting to declare no consensus and force the debate to continue until some way forward somewhere is found, no matter how narrow. However, I think we can do better than that this time. This time, there is evident consensus to do something, and indeed most people are fine with the nomination, so the question is: what, if anything, can be seen as an all-round agreeable outcome from this debate as to precise naming given the genuine and reasonable concerns raised? Therefore, I will assume that the early commenters are in probability likely to be OK with a renaming that is close enough to the nomination, even though not identical. I observe that the nominator has some agreement with those who disagree with the original proposal, and makes a proposal close to the two dissenting editors' suggestions but which has the benefit of providing ENGVAR flexibility built-in for the potential subcats. Thus, I conclude to RENAME ALL per Fayenatic london's suggestion, that being as follows:
- Category:Military occupations to Category:Military specialisms
- Category:Military service occupations by country to Category:Military specialisms by country
- Category:Occupations in the British Military to Category:British military specialisms
- Category:Occupations in the United States Military to Category:United States military specialisms
- Category:United States Air Force careers to Category:United States Air Force specialisms
- and recommend that checking of membership is subsequently needed. Also note that the targets are all red links, so if this really cannot be OK, then we can undo it easily enough. Splash - tk 23:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Military occupations to Category:Military job titles
- Propose renaming Category:Military service occupations by country to Category:Military job titles by country
- Propose renaming Category:Occupations in the British Military to Category:British military job titles
- Propose renaming Category:Occupations in the United States Military to Category:United States military job titles
- Propose renaming Category:United States Air Force careers to Category:United States Air Force job titles
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The word "occupation" is ambiguous, referring either to a career role or to the occupation of territory. The page Military occupation is about the latter. It is desirable to move Category:Military occupations to something unambiguous. The lead article has been moved to Military careers, but in my view that is not the best name because Category:Military careers is well-named to hold pages on the military careers of individual officers. There was no consensus on a wholesale proposal at the top of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 November 7, and therefore I am proposing just this step, along with selected sub-categories. The proposal fits with existing sub-categories Category:United States Army job titles, Category:United States Coast Guard job titles and Category:United States Navy job titles. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Note: "Military service occupations" would fit with some other sub-categories, but this was rejected as ambiguous at Talk:Military careers. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:42, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

- Support. I believe that this addresses my concerns with the previous proposals and alternatives. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. A job title is the words used to describe someone's role - e.g. "Director of Marketing Department", "Deputy Base Commander" or "Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht". Articles like Armourer and Fighter pilot are about a role, not about a term used (in English) to refer to that role. I.e. the title of the article may be a job title, but the topic of the article is the job itself. How about "Military professions", "Military jobs", "Military specialisms" or "Military trades" ? DexDor ( talk) 21:28, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- rename, but not this one I have the same reservations as DexDor: some of the members are titles of positions, but most are not. I also note that the US Army code is " Military Occupational Specialty code". Perhaps we could go with Category:Military specialties given that this one of the more common elements in the names of these terms; or "trades" might also work given that this seems to be the usual British term. It also might make sense to split these into separate "positions" and "specialties/trades" categories. Seyasirt ( talk) 13:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- I would also add that the split would held resolve some of the national splitting since the positions are more nation-specific (and even branch-specific) than the trade/specialties, which tend to be universal.

Seyasirt: Please don't let the best be the enemy of the good. "Military job titles" is a little clunky, but it avoids the appalling ambiguity of "military occupations". If we can agree something less clunky, that'd be great ... but it would terrible to retain the current ambiguous title. --

- "Job titles" and "occupations/specialties/trades" are not of the same ilk any more than
attorney general is of the same class as
paralegal. I agree that "occupations" is a problem, but "job titles" isn't just clunky; it's incorrect for a large part of the current membership. If we are going to rename this we need to use a name that isn't simply differently bad. My thought is that we need to split this up because some of the members are specific positions/titles/ranks and some are specific occupations/trades/specialties. It seems to me that one of the latter terms ought to suffice for the "job type" articles; we shouldn't mislabel those as titles simply because "occupation" is a problem.

- Thanks; I have no objection to the alternatives proposed. Indeed, they would be better for some members which cover whole corps or professions. I lean towards Category:Military specialisms; is this more neutral than "specialties" in terms of WP:ENGVAR? We could use local terms anyway for national sub-cats, in particular "United States military specialties" for the US. As for members that are positions/titles/ranks, they should probably be within the Category:Military ranks hierarchy rather than this one. – Fayenatic L ondon 19:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- Procedural note. These categories were nominated separately. I merged them into one section, because the rationale was identical in each case. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 13:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. The nominator is confusing the broad concept of nationality with the narrow legalistic concept of citizenship. These categories form part of the history of what are now independent states. Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Montenegrin national identities did not suddenly emerge from nowhere where Yugoslavia became a federal state in 1945, or when it was dissolved in the 1990s.
These categories are all subcats of the by-state subcats of Category:Yugoslav people of World War II: Category:Croatian people of World War II, Category:Serbian people of World War II, Category:Montenegrin people of World War II etc. If the nominator wants to dismantle this wider scheme, it should be done as one nomination, rather than by ripping out one part of the category tree. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:05, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

- Support The dissolution of Yugoslavia was never recognized in an international setting. It is time for us to end anachronistic attempts to impose post-1990 nationalities on people who lived in the 1940s. That is what these really are. We categorize by nationality in the sense of being connected with a political entity. That is why we have categories for Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire and many others. Yugoslav is the best way to define these people and avoids the complex issues of trying to figure out how to describe people of one ethnicity who lived in the political territories theoretically linked to another. These people were Yugoslavs by nationality. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose The rename was turned down 8 times before being put through. I am not convinced that this is widely used enough. Even the person who proposed the rename admitted that Beyoncé Knowles and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter are also used to refer to her. I am not convinced the mononym is common enough to justify the rename. In this case it seems a response to temporary trends, as opposed to looking at the sum total of all evidence on the topic. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:43, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- @ Johnpacklambert: As Adabow already mentioned, a consensus has been made to move the main article for this category to Beyoncé, so this category needs to be renamed accordingly (just like its multiple subcategories, eg. Beyoncé albums). I suppose it was turned down 8 times in the past, because at the time of those nominations there article was still titled "Beyoncé Knowles".

Category:W-League (Australia) managers. The one page listed is
Stephen Roche (coach), who is referred to in the lede, the infobox, and the body text as a "manager".
I then checked the 3 pages in Category:Melbourne Victory FC managers Mehmet Durakovic, Jim Magilton, Ernie Merrick. In each case the terms "manager" and "managerial" are use repeatedly, tho not exclusively.
Since both terms are in use, I see no reason to break the wider convention of Category:Association football managers by club. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 06:22, 27 January 2014 (UTC) - Procedural note. AFAICS, none of these categories has been tagged with

- The result of the discussion was: MERGE to Category:Tate galleries. - Splash - tk 23:36, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Structures of the Tate galleries to Category:Tate galleries
- Nominator's rationale: This category proposed for merging is for individual art galleries under the "Tate" institutional umbrella: e.g. Tate Britain, Tate Modern etc. The consensus at a previous CfD didn't like the use of simply "Tate" for this institution (despite the title of the main article on the topic) and preferred "Tate galleries", to disambiguate and to clarify that there are several Tate gallery buildings. As a result "Tate structures" was changed to "Structures of the Tate galleries", but this is needlessly clunky; "galleries" makes "structures" redundant. Now that the parent category is called "Tate galleries" it seems like the natural home for the articles on each of the individual galleries. Ham ( talk) 14:28, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- merge per proposal. Mangoe ( talk) 17:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. The present category name is not great, but the scope of the category is well worth retaining: the 5 different galleries run by the Tate. Mergeing them into the parent category will seem them lost in an assortment of other articles. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- My thinking was that the articles
Tate,
Tate Britain,
Tate Liverpool,
Tate Modern and
Tate St Ives could have a space after the piping like so:
[[Category:Tate| ]], so that they would appear at the top of the category apart from the other pages. (Not included at the top would be the page Barbara Hepworth Museum, despite it being in the present Category:Structures of the Tate galleries, as the Tate seems to consider the BHM to be a subsidiary of Tate St Ives – note the navigation menu of the Tate St Ives website.)

- The result of the discussion was: I do give some weight to the comments by Seyasirt, and agree that 'differently bad' is not good enough. Also, DexDor is correct as to the usual use of the category name towards content rather than meaning. For that reason, it is tempting to declare no consensus and force the debate to continue until some way forward somewhere is found, no matter how narrow. However, I think we can do better than that this time. This time, there is evident consensus to do something, and indeed most people are fine with the nomination, so the question is: what, if anything, can be seen as an all-round agreeable outcome from this debate as to precise naming given the genuine and reasonable concerns raised? Therefore, I will assume that the early commenters are in probability likely to be OK with a renaming that is close enough to the nomination, even though not identical. I observe that the nominator has some agreement with those who disagree with the original proposal, and makes a proposal close to the two dissenting editors' suggestions but which has the benefit of providing ENGVAR flexibility built-in for the potential subcats. Thus, I conclude to RENAME ALL per Fayenatic london's suggestion, that being as follows:
- Category:Military occupations to Category:Military specialisms
- Category:Military service occupations by country to Category:Military specialisms by country
- Category:Occupations in the British Military to Category:British military specialisms
- Category:Occupations in the United States Military to Category:United States military specialisms
- Category:United States Air Force careers to Category:United States Air Force specialisms
- and recommend that checking of membership is subsequently needed. Also note that the targets are all red links, so if this really cannot be OK, then we can undo it easily enough. Splash - tk 23:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Military occupations to Category:Military job titles
- Propose renaming Category:Military service occupations by country to Category:Military job titles by country
- Propose renaming Category:Occupations in the British Military to Category:British military job titles
- Propose renaming Category:Occupations in the United States Military to Category:United States military job titles
- Propose renaming Category:United States Air Force careers to Category:United States Air Force job titles
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The word "occupation" is ambiguous, referring either to a career role or to the occupation of territory. The page Military occupation is about the latter. It is desirable to move Category:Military occupations to something unambiguous. The lead article has been moved to Military careers, but in my view that is not the best name because Category:Military careers is well-named to hold pages on the military careers of individual officers. There was no consensus on a wholesale proposal at the top of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 November 7, and therefore I am proposing just this step, along with selected sub-categories. The proposal fits with existing sub-categories Category:United States Army job titles, Category:United States Coast Guard job titles and Category:United States Navy job titles. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Note: "Military service occupations" would fit with some other sub-categories, but this was rejected as ambiguous at Talk:Military careers. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:42, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

- Support. I believe that this addresses my concerns with the previous proposals and alternatives. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. A job title is the words used to describe someone's role - e.g. "Director of Marketing Department", "Deputy Base Commander" or "Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht". Articles like Armourer and Fighter pilot are about a role, not about a term used (in English) to refer to that role. I.e. the title of the article may be a job title, but the topic of the article is the job itself. How about "Military professions", "Military jobs", "Military specialisms" or "Military trades" ? DexDor ( talk) 21:28, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- rename, but not this one I have the same reservations as DexDor: some of the members are titles of positions, but most are not. I also note that the US Army code is " Military Occupational Specialty code". Perhaps we could go with Category:Military specialties given that this one of the more common elements in the names of these terms; or "trades" might also work given that this seems to be the usual British term. It also might make sense to split these into separate "positions" and "specialties/trades" categories. Seyasirt ( talk) 13:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- I would also add that the split would held resolve some of the national splitting since the positions are more nation-specific (and even branch-specific) than the trade/specialties, which tend to be universal.

Seyasirt: Please don't let the best be the enemy of the good. "Military job titles" is a little clunky, but it avoids the appalling ambiguity of "military occupations". If we can agree something less clunky, that'd be great ... but it would terrible to retain the current ambiguous title. --

- "Job titles" and "occupations/specialties/trades" are not of the same ilk any more than
attorney general is of the same class as
paralegal. I agree that "occupations" is a problem, but "job titles" isn't just clunky; it's incorrect for a large part of the current membership. If we are going to rename this we need to use a name that isn't simply differently bad. My thought is that we need to split this up because some of the members are specific positions/titles/ranks and some are specific occupations/trades/specialties. It seems to me that one of the latter terms ought to suffice for the "job type" articles; we shouldn't mislabel those as titles simply because "occupation" is a problem.

- Thanks; I have no objection to the alternatives proposed. Indeed, they would be better for some members which cover whole corps or professions. I lean towards Category:Military specialisms; is this more neutral than "specialties" in terms of WP:ENGVAR? We could use local terms anyway for national sub-cats, in particular "United States military specialties" for the US. As for members that are positions/titles/ranks, they should probably be within the Category:Military ranks hierarchy rather than this one. – Fayenatic L ondon 19:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- Procedural note. These categories were nominated separately. I merged them into one section, because the rationale was identical in each case. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 13:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. The nominator is confusing the broad concept of nationality with the narrow legalistic concept of citizenship. These categories form part of the history of what are now independent states. Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Montenegrin national identities did not suddenly emerge from nowhere where Yugoslavia became a federal state in 1945, or when it was dissolved in the 1990s.
These categories are all subcats of the by-state subcats of Category:Yugoslav people of World War II: Category:Croatian people of World War II, Category:Serbian people of World War II, Category:Montenegrin people of World War II etc. If the nominator wants to dismantle this wider scheme, it should be done as one nomination, rather than by ripping out one part of the category tree. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:05, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

- Support The dissolution of Yugoslavia was never recognized in an international setting. It is time for us to end anachronistic attempts to impose post-1990 nationalities on people who lived in the 1940s. That is what these really are. We categorize by nationality in the sense of being connected with a political entity. That is why we have categories for Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire and many others. Yugoslav is the best way to define these people and avoids the complex issues of trying to figure out how to describe people of one ethnicity who lived in the political territories theoretically linked to another. These people were Yugoslavs by nationality. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose The rename was turned down 8 times before being put through. I am not convinced that this is widely used enough. Even the person who proposed the rename admitted that Beyoncé Knowles and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter are also used to refer to her. I am not convinced the mononym is common enough to justify the rename. In this case it seems a response to temporary trends, as opposed to looking at the sum total of all evidence on the topic. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:43, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- @ Johnpacklambert: As Adabow already mentioned, a consensus has been made to move the main article for this category to Beyoncé, so this category needs to be renamed accordingly (just like its multiple subcategories, eg. Beyoncé albums). I suppose it was turned down 8 times in the past, because at the time of those nominations there article was still titled "Beyoncé Knowles".

I then checked the 3 pages in Category:Melbourne Victory FC managers Mehmet Durakovic, Jim Magilton, Ernie Merrick. In each case the terms "manager" and "managerial" are use repeatedly, tho not exclusively.
Since both terms are in use, I see no reason to break the wider convention of Category:Association football managers by club. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 06:22, 27 January 2014 (UTC) - Procedural note. AFAICS, none of these categories has been tagged with
