Nominator's rationale: Another subcat of Category:Nizams of Hyderabad by the same (blocked) editor as the two below, this one contains a city, two regions, and four former regions. Presumably these correspond to the territory formerly ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad. I'm not sure what should be done with the category; open to the option of deletion. – Fayenatic London 20:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Complete list is on the talk page
Top of the US city list:
Complete list is on the talk page
Nominator's rationale: merge. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion in which other editors than me suggested the above merge. Initially I was a bit skeptical about it, until I realized that nonprofit organizations contains nearly all types of organizations except companies and maybe just a few other types. So non-profit organizations is essentially a kind of WP:OCMISC - "all other organizations".
Something specific needs to be said about the U.S. city subcats. There is quite a substantial number of city subcats in Virginia and Washington (state) where there is no Organizations parent category to merge to for that city. In that case I propose a dual merge to the Organizations category of the state and to the broad city category (or if that does not even exist, to the county). For that purpose I've also listed the top of the U.S. city categories up here as an example. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Jfhutson, RevelationDirect, Rathfelder, Bibliomaniac15, Oculi, and Peterkingiron: pinging contributors to the previous two discussions. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • I think this is sensible. In USA, as I understand it, there is a legal definition of non-profit, and the term is generally used where in UK we would use the term charity. Rathfelder ( talk) 09:38, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment In the US, "companies" can also mean a lot of legal structures (sole proprietorship, LLCs, public, private held, etc.) and we don't think of those as WP:OCMISC. Non-profit can contain religious, charity, fraternal, medical, cemetery and those often line up to legal statuses as well. Not sure if the for profit/non-profit divide is defining though nor am I sure how this looks from a non-US perspective. RevelationDirect ( talk) 10:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose I don't know that much about US categorisations but this sweeping proposal makes no sense to me. Category:Organisations based in Scotland has 47 sub-cats of which non-profits are but one. The latter has 3 sub-cats of its own and arguably could have more. "Nonprofit organizations contains nearly all types of organizations except companies". Really - how about: Public sector organisations; political parties; unincorporated associations, clubs and societies; criminal organisations; charities; trade unions? Ben Mac Dui 08:57, 13 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • As with any negative definition, the problem is what doesnt go here? Rathfelder ( talk) 14:58, 13 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Weak oppose. As a sociologist, I actually teach about that stuff, though my field is new media (ping User:Pundit, isn't your specialty closer to this?). Anyway, one of the simple divisions of organizations is indeed into non-profit and profit. The logic is imperfect, however, as for example most governmental agencies are technically non-profit but are not called that. Or companies - they technically are Category:Non-governmental organizations but again when we think NGO we don't think Coca-Cola or Samsung are NGOs, we explicitly assume they are non-profit. But non-profit is not the same as non-commercial. This is a complex issue with blurry boundaries, and in the end, since we have an article for Nonprofit organization I think it deserves its own category tree. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:09, 14 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD)
The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame was established in 1993 to honor Canadians active in auto racing. The organization seems fairly obscure and the articles are already Most of these articles mention the award in passing with other awards, with some exceptions that mention it in the lede or not at all. (Most the articles are so short there's no difference between the body and the intro though.) The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 02:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD, WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The UFC Hall of Fame was founded in 2003 and celebrates fighers who competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship earlier in their career. Except for a couple execs and an announcer, these articles are in Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship male fighters and many are also in Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship champions. Getting this award later for that earlier effort is non-defining. That's reflected in the articles where this award is generally listed in passing with other accomplishments although one enthusiastic editor moved this award into the intro for many articles. The contents of the category are already listified here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 02:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply

For that purpose I've also listed the top of the U.S. city categories up here as an example. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply

  • I think this is sensible. In USA, as I understand it, there is a legal definition of non-profit, and the term is generally used where in UK we would use the term charity. Rathfelder ( talk) 09:38, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment In the US, "companies" can also mean a lot of legal structures (sole proprietorship, LLCs, public, private held, etc.) and we don't think of those as WP:OCMISC. Non-profit can contain religious, charity, fraternal, medical, cemetery and those often line up to legal statuses as well. Not sure if the for profit/non-profit divide is defining though nor am I sure how this looks from a non-US perspective. RevelationDirect ( talk) 10:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose I don't know that much about US categorisations but this sweeping proposal makes no sense to me. Category:Organisations based in Scotland has 47 sub-cats of which non-profits are but one. The latter has 3 sub-cats of its own and arguably could have more. "Nonprofit organizations contains nearly all types of organizations except companies". Really - how about: Public sector organisations; political parties; unincorporated associations, clubs and societies; criminal organisations; charities; trade unions?

  • As with any negative definition, the problem is what doesnt go here? Rathfelder ( talk) 14:58, 13 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Weak oppose. As a sociologist, I actually teach about that stuff, though my field is new media (ping User:Pundit, isn't your specialty closer to this?). Anyway, one of the simple divisions of organizations is indeed into non-profit and profit. The logic is imperfect, however, as for example most governmental agencies are technically non-profit but are not called that. Or companies - they technically are Category:Non-governmental organizations but again when we think NGO we don't think Coca-Cola or Samsung are NGOs, we explicitly assume they are non-profit. But non-profit is not the same as non-commercial. This is a complex issue with blurry boundaries, and in the end, since we have an article for Nonprofit organization I think it deserves its own category tree. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:09, 14 June 2020 (UTC) reply
THey're currently categorized as "Non-profit organizations", so I beg to differ. Sionk ( talk) 23:25, 17 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD)
The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame was established in 1993 to honor Canadians active in auto racing. The organization seems fairly obscure and the articles are already Most of these articles mention the award in passing with other awards, with some exceptions that mention it in the lede or not at all. (Most the articles are so short there's no difference between the body and the intro though.) The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 02:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD, WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The UFC Hall of Fame was founded in 2003 and celebrates fighers who competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship earlier in their career. Except for a couple execs and an announcer, these articles are in Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship male fighters and many are also in Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship champions. Getting this award later for that earlier effort is non-defining. That's reflected in the articles where this award is generally listed in passing with other accomplishments although one enthusiastic editor moved this award into the intro for many articles. The contents of the category are already listified here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 02:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply
