Delete. On
WP:F13, after warning not to use the Force Thirteen YouTube channel as a source for Wikipedia, it is explicitly said that Force Thirteen itself supports this position and has urged its followers not to add its content to Wikipedia, stating that that its own data "should not supersede" that from RSMCs. So technically users adding the infobox are not against Force Thirteen if they agree with it on what seems to be the core issue of the

@
SportingFlyer: It's correct that the category and its siblings are so named that it implies a hierarchy between NFL and RL play, although not a chronology. However I think it would be going down a dangerous road to assume that players who essentially played code A and made a stint in code B would be notable for it while the other way around would be less defining. I've cited the case of European rugby players who made an appearance in the NFL and where therefore very famous for it in their hometown, certainly more than hundreds of NFL players with longer careers and bigger success. However I can also think of confirmed players of American sports who made a sometimes surprising appearance in a European club which attracted them a similar fame. It's hockey and not football, but
Bob Gainey's stint in small-town Épinal in 1989 or
Steven Reinprecht in Mulhouse during the 2004–05 NHL lockout come to mind. Therefore the only possible improvement I could see here would be to rephrase category names which include "who played in the NFL" to remove the implied hierarchy. A suggestion based on alphabetical order:
However this would come with a change of scope as American football is wider that just the NFL, and would also include other leagues such as NFL Europa, AFL, high school and college football as well as European amateur leagues. This may be too wide as I guess for instance that a very large proportion of American rugby union players came to rugby after playing high school football seen the popularity of the sport. Also note
Category:Dual camogie–football players. In the absence of a certain improvement, better keep things as they are.

Delete Not really a necessary category. It should be obvious from the other categories attached whether an NFL player also played rugby league previously. Not every intersection of topics needs its own category; I think that's mainly to avoid redundant categorization, and to qualify for that this would need to be used in place of other categories that indicate a player's history in both the NFL and rugby league. It does not allow for that as is. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist(Speak quickly)(Follow my trail) 03:42, 23 November 2020 (UTC)reply

FayenaticLondon 09:51, 19 November 2020 (UTC)reply
With stub types, "China" is supposed to only be used for stubs which cover the entirety of "historic China", i.e., both the PRC and Taiwan (e.g., {{China-hist-stub}}) - it looks like quite a few stub types have slipped through over the years using it only for the mainland, though. Given that geography articles are about specific locations, there's no point in having a similar {{China-geo-stub}}. And yes, FL, I did defend it as deprecated... ten years ago. That was done because some editors were still using it and probably would for some time. ISTR that old stub types were usually deprecated for a year or so and then deleted. No idea why that didn't happen to this one. In any case, it's unused, and there's been no apparent use of it for years. Truth be told, this one probably dates from an ongoing series of edit-wars with a long-since banned editor whose username eludes me, who was intent on using "China" to mean Taiwan on all templates and categories (

Category:Anti-pedophile activists in Catholic Church sexual abuse scandals
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
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: First of all, per
WP:CATV I could right now be completely justified in reducing this cat to 1 article. In the eight others, nowhere does the word "pedophil*" appear, and you'd be hard-pressed to find sources.
Secondly, "pedophile" is a highly charged, sensationalistic, inaccurate term for a child sexual abuser. It is not often used in the reliable sources, certainly nobody medical or psychological would use it for priests who abused chiefly adolescents.
WP:NPOV demands that we neutralize this label wherever it can be found inaccurate.
Thirdly, the proposed name casts a wider net, which is nice, and can encompass more than the narrow label currently assigned hereon.

Oppose There are paedophiles in the Catholic Church, that's well evidenced, and there are activists against such people and their continued involvement with an institution that still somehow tries to claim some semblance of moral authority. The claim that such "paedophiles" ought not to be so named because to do so is highly charged, sensationalistic, inaccurate is hilarious special pleading originating from a clearly biased and self-exculpatory viewpoint within the church itself. Strong oppose.
GPinkerton (

GPinkerton, okay, so you don't oppose sexual abuse of adolescents, and neither do the members of this category?
Elizium23 (

@
Elizium23: I'll ignore your crass personal attack on me. It's not just sexual abuse of adolescents I oppose, but all abuse systematically perpetrated and covered up by the Catholic Church, against all ages. Paedophilia in the Catholic Church is only a small subset of the vast child abuse for which the Church and its members are guilt and in which they are complicit. As a consequence, this category should sit within a larger category of
Category:Anti-abuse activists in Catholic Church sexual abuse scandals. Not all of the Catholic Church's abusers are paedophiles, but all the Church's many paedophile are all abusers.

Support Laurel Lodged's proposal. Closer in scope to main article
Catholic Church sexual abuse cases, and avoids conflating
pedophilia with
child sexual abuse. To quote the main article on pedophilia: "This use conflates the sexual attraction to prepubescent children with the act of child sexual abuse and fails to distinguish between attraction to prepubescent and pubescent or post-pubescent minors. Researchers recommend that these imprecise uses be avoided, because although some people who commit child sexual abuse are pedophiles, child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children, and some pedophiles do not molest children."

Both of these categories contain only 1 article and it is the same article:
Nil Khasevych.
Mr. Khasevych is notable for being a WWII military leader of the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA). The first category is the Ukrainian acronym for the same organization, Ukrayins'ka Povstans'ka Armiya (UPA) and, as used here, is redundant. The second category is for the
Cross of Merit (Ukrainian Insurgent Army), an obscure award from the UIA/UPA. I don't know if I can say I "listified" the recipients of the award since there is only 1 article but it is now linked
right here in the main article. Clearly, neither category aids navigation. -

Oppose There are paedophiles in the Catholic Church, that's well evidenced, and there are activists against such people and their continued involvement with an institution that still somehow tries to claim some semblance of moral authority. The claim that such "paedophiles" ought not to be so named because to do so is highly charged, sensationalistic, inaccurate is hilarious special pleading originating from a clearly biased and self-exculpatory viewpoint within the church itself. Strong oppose.

GPinkerton, okay, so you don't oppose sexual abuse of adolescents, and neither do the members of this category?

@
Elizium23: I'll ignore your crass personal attack on me. It's not just sexual abuse of adolescents I oppose, but all abuse systematically perpetrated and covered up by the Catholic Church, against all ages. Paedophilia in the Catholic Church is only a small subset of the vast child abuse for which the Church and its members are guilt and in which they are complicit. As a consequence, this category should sit within a larger category of
Category:Anti-abuse activists in Catholic Church sexual abuse scandals. Not all of the Catholic Church's abusers are paedophiles, but all the Church's many paedophile are all abusers.

GPinkerton, this cat is not here to
WP:RGW as you wish, but to describe reality, and it fails in describing that reality.

GPinkerton, I will remind you that 8 of 9 articles are unsourced and I will be reducing this cat to 1 article if it is allowed to stand at this name.

Agree with nom regarding moving away from paedophile. Using paedophile is a case of
WP:SYNTH, not technically wrong but also not the way it is commonly referred to.

Support Laurel Lodged's proposal. Closer in scope to main article
Catholic Church sexual abuse cases, and avoids conflating
pedophilia with
child sexual abuse. To quote the main article on pedophilia: "This use conflates the sexual attraction to prepubescent children with the act of child sexual abuse and fails to distinguish between attraction to prepubescent and pubescent or post-pubescent minors. Researchers recommend that these imprecise uses be avoided, because although some people who commit child sexual abuse are pedophiles, child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children, and some pedophiles do not molest children."

Support ALTCategory:Activists for victims of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. I hate "activists" categories but these folks' only claim to notability is in relation to this issue. I would consider delete were this populated by various politicians or church hierarchs who make this one of many issues they are active on.

Both of these categories contain only 1 article and it is the same article:
Nil Khasevych.
Mr. Khasevych is notable for being a WWII military leader of the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA). The first category is the Ukrainian acronym for the same organization, Ukrayins'ka Povstans'ka Armiya (UPA) and, as used here, is redundant. The second category is for the
Cross of Merit (Ukrainian Insurgent Army), an obscure award from the UIA/UPA. I don't know if I can say I "listified" the recipients of the award since there is only 1 article but it is now linked
right here in the main article. Clearly, neither category aids navigation. -
