Sino-Indian War ended up as "

A look at what sources say The nominator's rationale is his claim that there were no territorial changes in the war. So the question to be asked is: were there, as the category's description states, places that were not completely under China's control in the years before the war but completely under China's control after the war? Let's take a look at what some sources say about the territorial changes:
Sources
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
On 21 November Beijing announced a unilateral ceasefire to be followed by the withdrawal of Chinese troops to the north of the McMahon Line. But China would retain control up to its 1960 claimline in Ladakh--a situation that persists till today.[1]
Hoffman:
Furthermore, the Chinese claim line differed greatly from any line held by them on 7 November 1959 and reflected their efforts to establish claims to Indian territory by force, both before and after their massive attack on Indian outposts and forces on 20 October 1962.[2]
Taylor Fravel:
It is difficult to determine with much precision the amount of disputed territory that China has occupied on the battlefield. China occupied several thousand square kilometers of land in the western sector of its dispute with India in the late 1950s. After the war in 1962, China may have gained control over an additional 1,000 square kilometers of territory.[3]
"China still illegally possessed about 14,500 square miles in Ladakh including the fruits of their latest aggression in this sector.Though India did not agree to the unilateral terms of the aggressor, it decided not to alter the ceasefire. India again repeated its demand for the restoration of the status quo as on September 8, 1962 as a pre-condition for a mutually-agreed ceasefire. A stalemate ensued as the Chinese rejected the Indian proposal"
The above sources make it clear that there was some territorial change. The sources which say 'status quo' are only speaking with regard to the Chinese claim line. The text of the articles that were in this category show that these places were not completely under Chinese control in the years before the war, but are today. Since there were places that China did not control completely in the years before the war, but controlled after the war, it makes sense to have a category for these.
The Discoverer (
talk) 17:16, 11 September 2017 (UTC)reply
They really don't support any of your assertion. You don't have to copy paste the senseless discussion that has been already refuted and rejected on article talk page. You are misrepresenting sources if anything and China had also claimed that India has taken 50,000 square miles of area. But you are intentionally ignoring it because you are pushing POV and was topic banned from this topic before.
Capitals00 (

I just reviewed the category and am not seeing anything that leads me to believe that any expansion is significant enough that the category shouldn't still be upmerged.

Donlago, the fact that the films are set in boarding schools rather than any other kind of schools is of course very significant. The films set in boarding school have a specific dynamic, that usually evolves around complicated relatioships students-teachers, whch makes them totally different from random school movie.

When you provide one source, it doesn't so much come off as "of course very significant" as "something one person felt like writing about" to me. I would also note that the author doesn't appear to be a noted film critic. I would also note that the subject doesn't appear to be notable enough that anyone's ever taken the time to write an underlying article.
DonIago (

Nor is that what I said. And I was, I thought obviously, expressing an opinion. One which several other editors in this discussion appear to share. Even if there are specific dynamics associated with boarding school films, that doesn't automatically mean that they merit a standalone category.

Oculi:Comment - Um... you do realize that Cheese is actually a plural form, and Cheeses refers to types of cheese. The analogy of "Cheeses" would be
Category:Androids by type if there was one. You could conceivably tell someone "want some cheese? I have a ton of it" and it would be in the plural. A better example would be

oppose The category exists as the top level category of all Android topics and Androids that are NOT the operating system. That is why it came into existence - previously it was just "Android".
Androids refers SPECIFICALLY to NOTABLE individual models of androids - similar to "Ford Falcon"
Android (robot) refers GENERALLY to ANYTHING related to Android robotics.
This is almost as ridiculous (and offensive) a proposal as when the Android OS guys forced the Android article (from which the OS name is taken) into "Android (robot) ... and yes, the category name change was also a result of that
Chaosdruid (

Keep Andoids are notable androids.

Chaosdruid (

Not
assuming good faith is not helping your case. There currently do not exist any of the "android models" that you cite as an example. If any are created, it would likely merit a new category like
Category:Models of android but that does not at all affect the name of this category, which is intended for singular androids or individually notable ones of a model line.ZXCVBNM (
TALK) 12:44, 7 September 2017 (UTC)reply
I have stated my case, which it seems you do not understand. A "model" is one type of something amongst other types of somethings. The Ferrari range include the models "La Ferrari , as well as "488".
These models can also have styles (or types), such as the 488; "GTB" and "Spyder"
Android is a concept covering anything to do with Androids - apart from the OS.
If Android = Human
Individual people - individual androids.
EveR is a range of androids created over many years, with the current model being "
EveR-4"
As for AGF, I really do know what it is, not being a noob here. Over complicating two major categories because of perceived semantic disparity is, assuming good faith, a great deal of energy and commitment that could be directed more productively in other areas. If you are offended by my opinion, I cannot help that. I have taken part in many drives and helped new projects get started, there are backlogs all over Wiki that need help, yet here we are discussing whether these stable categories that have been fine for some time, suddenly need changing. IMHO. (and no, that's not me being "bitey" either)
Chaosdruid (

Sorry, but you just disproved your own argument.
Category:Humans is the one that currently exists, not
Category:Human. "Humans" is the base category for literally everything about humans, including the very article
human. I would hesitate to say there are enough androids to call them "model lines" versus just "upgraded versions of previous androids" - a model implies it is produced in significant numbers.ZXCVBNM (

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry
WP:SMALLCAT that violates

WP:DEFINING impact on a person's political career in any manner different or distinct from any other Christian denomination. And regarding the potential that Catholics have a tendency to sometimes be more centrist to centre-left than other Christian denominations, well, just look who the one entry actually is if you think that's the point here. This is not a defining characteristic for the purposes of categorizing politicians.

comment This used to be important in the USA. It has become less so, if not totally unimportant, as it became clear that Catholic politicians were not going to vote as their bishops directed them to on various key issues (e.g. abortion). In the present it doesn't seem very important, or for that matter particularly well-known, that Bush Sr. is Episcopalian while his sons are respectively Methodist (George) and Catholic (Jeb). For
Al Smith and
JFK it was a significant issue. That said, I don't see this surviving in its present form.

Comment JEB's (it is an acronym from his name John Ellis Bush, Sr, so it makes no sense to call him Jeb Bush), position is very much influenced by his Catholicism. The same is also very true of
Rick Santorum, despite some false notions he is an Evangelical Protestant. Still it may be hard to argue for a coherent limit to the category.
John Pack Lambert (
talk) 04:56, 27 August 2017 (UTC)reply
Oh, I'm not disputing that Jeb or Rick Santorum's politics are influenced by their status as religious conservatives — but is there any evidence that being specifically Catholic influences their politics in a manner that's distinct from if they were members of any other Christian denomination that has a socially conservative ideology?
Bearcat (
talk) 15:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)reply
There is clearly for JEB. His postions on immigration, and maybe on the death penalty are a direct outgrowth of his Catholicism. He has stuck up for Haitin immigrants when no one was doing so. Although his views on immigration are colored by having a Mexican-born wife. In the case of Santorum, the level, focus and intensity of his pro-life position would not exist if he were not Catholic.
John Engler is another example that comes to mind. True his being opposed to the death penalty fits with his pro-life position, although there are consistent ways to argue against killing the innocent unborn while arguing it is at times just to kill those who have committed heinous crimes. It was also not suprrising that Geoffrey Fieger supported the death penalty, he was after all the ultimate anti-life politician, and anyway, it would be a boondoggle for defense lawyers like him. The death penalty is a make work project for defense lawyers, not that ambulance chasers like Fieger lack work, but they also have no lack of greed. Not that the debate over the death penalty was live in Michigan, we have not had one since 1846 (except for treason against Michigan, a crime no one has ever been tried for). In fact the state of Michigan has never executed anyone. The only other states that have executed no one are Alaska and Hawaii. So yes, Engler, Santorum and JEB have taken political positions that are uniquely influenced by their Catholicism.

Rename to the deleted
Category:Regions of Mexico – The problem with this AfD is that obvious regions like
Northern Mexico will after deletion of
Category:Cultural regions of Mexico (to which I have no other objection) immediately fall under the geography of Mexico without a regions category. A geography is not necessarily a region but can also be a spatial distribution, dynamic, sub-domain, etc. It often is something else than a region. Hence if this AfD is successful we are erasing a necessary link. Other countries have a region category that would contain the non-administrative regions of a country plus the administrative regions as a category under it. This organization allows for a value free judgement, independent of the question whether such regions are cultural, physical, economic, or a combination of labels. Such nuanced distinctions are more appropriate for the articles on the regions. Administrative is objective. A region has been designated as such or not. The only question that remains for plain regions is whether, for example, a valley is large enough to be considered a region. That is a value judgement yet the community can agree on a precise mathematical value for resolution.

A look at what sources say The nominator's rationale is his claim that there were no territorial changes in the war. So the question to be asked is: were there, as the category's description states, places that were not completely under China's control in the years before the war but completely under China's control after the war? Let's take a look at what some sources say about the territorial changes:
Sources
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
On 21 November Beijing announced a unilateral ceasefire to be followed by the withdrawal of Chinese troops to the north of the McMahon Line. But China would retain control up to its 1960 claimline in Ladakh--a situation that persists till today.[1]
Hoffman:
Furthermore, the Chinese claim line differed greatly from any line held by them on 7 November 1959 and reflected their efforts to establish claims to Indian territory by force, both before and after their massive attack on Indian outposts and forces on 20 October 1962.[2]
Taylor Fravel:
It is difficult to determine with much precision the amount of disputed territory that China has occupied on the battlefield. China occupied several thousand square kilometers of land in the western sector of its dispute with India in the late 1950s. After the war in 1962, China may have gained control over an additional 1,000 square kilometers of territory.[3]
"China still illegally possessed about 14,500 square miles in Ladakh including the fruits of their latest aggression in this sector.Though India did not agree to the unilateral terms of the aggressor, it decided not to alter the ceasefire. India again repeated its demand for the restoration of the status quo as on September 8, 1962 as a pre-condition for a mutually-agreed ceasefire. A stalemate ensued as the Chinese rejected the Indian proposal"
The above sources make it clear that there was some territorial change. The sources which say 'status quo' are only speaking with regard to the Chinese claim line. The text of the articles that were in this category show that these places were not completely under Chinese control in the years before the war, but are today. Since there were places that China did not control completely in the years before the war, but controlled after the war, it makes sense to have a category for these.
The Discoverer (
talk) 17:16, 11 September 2017 (UTC)reply
They really don't support any of your assertion. You don't have to copy paste the senseless discussion that has been already refuted and rejected on article talk page. You are misrepresenting sources if anything and China had also claimed that India has taken 50,000 square miles of area. But you are intentionally ignoring it because you are pushing POV and was topic banned from this topic before.
Capitals00 (

I just reviewed the category and am not seeing anything that leads me to believe that any expansion is significant enough that the category shouldn't still be upmerged.

Donlago, the fact that the films are set in boarding schools rather than any other kind of schools is of course very significant.

When you provide one source, it doesn't so much come off as "of course very significant" as "something one person felt like writing about" to me.

I would also note that the subject doesn't appear to be notable enough that anyone's ever taken the time to write an underlying article.

Android (robot) refers GENERALLY to ANYTHING related to Android robotics.

Keep Andoids are notable androids.

Chaosdruid (

Not
assuming good faith is not helping your case. There currently do not exist any of the "android models" that you cite as an example. If any are created, it would likely merit a new category like
Category:Models of android but that does not at all affect the name of this category, which is intended for singular androids or individually notable ones of a model line.ZXCVBNM (
TALK) 12:44, 7 September 2017 (UTC)reply
I have stated my case, which it seems you do not understand. A "model" is one type of something amongst other types of somethings. The Ferrari range include the models "La Ferrari , as well as "488".
These models can also have styles (or types), such as the 488; "GTB" and "Spyder"
Android is a concept covering anything to do with Androids - apart from the OS.
If Android = Human
Individual people - individual androids.
EveR is a range of androids created over many years, with the current model being "
EveR-4"
As for AGF, I really do know what it is, not being a noob here. Over complicating two major categories because of perceived semantic disparity is, assuming good faith, a great deal of energy and commitment that could be directed more productively in other areas. If you are offended by my opinion, I cannot help that. I have taken part in many drives and helped new projects get started, there are backlogs all over Wiki that need help, yet here we are discussing whether these stable categories that have been fine for some time, suddenly need changing. IMHO. (and no, that's not me being "bitey" either)
Chaosdruid (

Sorry, but you just disproved your own argument.
Category:Humans is the one that currently exists, not
Category:Human. "Humans" is the base category for literally everything about humans, including the very article
human. I would hesitate to say there are enough androids to call them "model lines" versus just "upgraded versions of previous androids" - a model implies it is produced in significant numbers.ZXCVBNM (

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry
WP:SMALLCAT that violates

WP:DEFINING impact on a person's political career in any manner different or distinct from any other Christian denomination. And regarding the potential that Catholics have a tendency to sometimes be more centrist to centre-left than other Christian denominations, well, just look who the one entry actually is if you think that's the point here. This is not a defining characteristic for the purposes of categorizing politicians.

comment This used to be important in the USA. It has become less so, if not totally unimportant, as it became clear that Catholic politicians were not going to vote as their bishops directed them to on various key issues (e.g. abortion). In the present it doesn't seem very important, or for that matter particularly well-known, that Bush Sr. is Episcopalian while his sons are respectively Methodist (George) and Catholic (Jeb). For
Al Smith and
JFK it was a significant issue. That said, I don't see this surviving in its present form.

Comment JEB's (it is an acronym from his name John Ellis Bush, Sr, so it makes no sense to call him Jeb Bush), position is very much influenced by his Catholicism. The same is also very true of
Rick Santorum, despite some false notions he is an Evangelical Protestant. Still it may be hard to argue for a coherent limit to the category.
John Pack Lambert (
talk) 04:56, 27 August 2017 (UTC)reply
Oh, I'm not disputing that Jeb or Rick Santorum's politics are influenced by their status as religious conservatives — but is there any evidence that being specifically Catholic influences their politics in a manner that's distinct from if they were members of any other Christian denomination that has a socially conservative ideology?
Bearcat (
talk) 15:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)reply
There is clearly for JEB. His postions on immigration, and maybe on the death penalty are a direct outgrowth of his Catholicism. He has stuck up for Haitin immigrants when no one was doing so. Although his views on immigration are colored by having a Mexican-born wife. In the case of Santorum, the level, focus and intensity of his pro-life position would not exist if he were not Catholic.
John Engler is another example that comes to mind. True his being opposed to the death penalty fits with his pro-life position, although there are consistent ways to argue against killing the innocent unborn while arguing it is at times just to kill those who have committed heinous crimes. It was also not suprrising that Geoffrey Fieger supported the death penalty, he was after all the ultimate anti-life politician, and anyway, it would be a boondoggle for defense lawyers like him. The death penalty is a make work project for defense lawyers, not that ambulance chasers like Fieger lack work, but they also have no lack of greed. Not that the debate over the death penalty was live in Michigan, we have not had one since 1846 (except for treason against Michigan, a crime no one has ever been tried for). In fact the state of Michigan has never executed anyone. The only other states that have executed no one are Alaska and Hawaii. So yes, Engler, Santorum and JEB have taken political positions that are uniquely influenced by their Catholicism.

Rename to the deleted
Category:Regions of Mexico – The problem with this AfD is that obvious regions like
Northern Mexico will after deletion of
Category:Cultural regions of Mexico (to which I have no other objection) immediately fall under the geography of Mexico without a regions category. A geography is not necessarily a region but can also be a spatial distribution, dynamic, sub-domain, etc. It often is something else than a region. Hence if this AfD is successful we are erasing a necessary link. Other countries have a region category that would contain the non-administrative regions of a country plus the administrative regions as a category under it. This organization allows for a value free judgement, independent of the question whether such regions are cultural, physical, economic, or a combination of labels. Such nuanced distinctions are more appropriate for the articles on the regions. Administrative is objective. A region has been designated as such or not. The only question that remains for plain regions is whether, for example, a valley is large enough to be considered a region. That is a value judgement yet the community can agree on a precise mathematical value for resolution.
