Category:Illegal speech
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

Nominator's rationale: I just discovered this category after creating
Category:Speech crimes, which I think is a better definition for the concept. (Disclaimer: I recently moved the head article from "
criminal speech" to "
speech crimes" due to the latter name being a clear common name.) Judging from my searches, "illegal speech" is a US-centric term referring to speech which is not protected by the first amendment, while "speech crimes" is more used internationally. If this merge is not done, the categories should be merged in the opposite direction. buidhe18:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Merge the two categories as they have the same scope. I do not have a preference regarding the title of the category or of the article.

Oppose per creator. Certainly helps navigation, even if the nominator does not believe it does for them personally, and given that the season has been renewed and the first season is almost over, the page is likely to be split soon into Season 1 and 2 articles, which will have their own files, needing it further. -- /

Support, the category only contains the eponymous article. In that, I do not count files or redirects to that same article since they do not provide new information about the topic.

Delete for Now I guess I don't understand why this would plausibly be kept since it ties one main article with redirects and doesn't aid navigation. No objection to recreating if we ever get up to 5 direct articles.

Support. I've often thought it was weird for newspaper categories to be formatted as "Newspapers published in [Country]" while magazines were at "[Demonym] magazines" — but the idea of actually taking on the job of batching a full nomination for discussion here just gave me hives. So I'm thankful that somebody finally has, because this has been necessary for a while.

Prefer "by populated place" as this avoid the tricky question of what places are cities. There was a long discussion over this several years ago.

The
European Union mission/office in Paris has an annual symposium where they also give out the
European Initiative Prize for journalism covering European topics. This Wikipedia category is a blend of articles on publications and on journalists but, either way, the award seems non-defining: of the 14 entries in the category
1 mentions it in passing,
1 in the lede, and 12 not at all. It's hardly surprising that respected European based publications and journalists would be covering European topics. The contents are already listified
here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. -

Oppose for now. I agree with the basic principle of
RevelationDirect's assertion that receipt of the medal is non-defining ... but the problem with deleting the category is that it leaves those articles with no category to group the shared defining characteristic that these people are noted for the association with Cuba.
If we had some other category to group pro-Cuba activists, then this category would be redundant ... but until then it serves as a proxy for the category which we should have. --
