- Nominator's rationale So our categorization rules for ethnicity, gender and some related auspects of a person specifically have a "no loast rung rule", which is we should not have such categories on the last rung for any category tree. This is functionally a last rung, so merging it up is advised. Some think that quadruple intersections are rarely justified, this is somewhere between 5 and 6 aspects intesection, I see century, occupation, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and sub-occupation. Singing may along with sports and acting be an occupation where the functional differences in male and female roles is so great, that we do not apply the "no diffusion" rules in quite the same way we do in writing, politics and many other professions. However ethnicity is always under no dispersion rules so all the people in these categories need to be in the by century category, yet every single articles in all 3 of these categories is not in the appropriate by century American women opera singers category. When you have a 100% failure of the no diffusion rule, especially in a category with well over 70 total articles, and there is no easy way to diffuse the parent to overcome the problems caused by total diffusion of a non-diffusing category, upmerger is by far the best choice.

- I think the political, economic and cultural significance of African-American women in such roles outweighs these arguments. We have many occupational categories where gender and ethnicity are of far less significance.

- Comment -- The 20th and 21st century categories are well populated. In view of past discrimination (when they were an exception), the racial category should be retained, at least for those active before (say) 1970. However I am not sure we need a by century split.

- 1-we do not categorize by race, we categorize by ethnicity, this means that black Canadian people who perform opera in the US do not go in this category, unless we can show that had some point they have embraced African-American ethnicity. 2-the proposal retains

WP:OCEGRS says: "people should only be categorized by ethnicity or religion if this has significant bearing on their career." Are you trying to say that African Americans suffer no discrimination in the world of opera? Or that this has not changed over time? Can you produce some evidence?

WP:OCEGRS also says "should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. If a substantial and encyclopedic head article (not just a list) cannot be written for such a category, then the category should not be created."
Marcocapelle (
talk) 03:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
reply
- Bigwig7, your argument would make sense if this proposal was to end having
Category:African-American women opera singers. However this proposal in no way advocates ending that category. What it does advocate ending is the clealry ERGS rule breaking creation of last-rung categories that split African-Americans out in a way that excludes them from being in a non-ethnicity specific category.
John Pack Lambert (
talk) 17:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
reply
- This case is an intersection of ethnicity, gender, sub-sepciality and time. The proposal is leaving in place the category that intersects gender, sub-speciality and ethnicity, and just removing the added by time break out. You have to be able to justify all the points of the intersection as uniquely notable to keep this category, and then give a persuasive reason why we should in this case clearly avoid the last ring rule. One way to satify the later would be to create
Category:20th-century American operative sopranos or something like that, but to the present no one has felt a need to create categories that intersect century and opera voice range, that would solve the last rung rule, but I am not sure it would be a justified creation of a useful category.
John Pack Lambert (
talk) 17:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
reply
- Classifying singers by vocal range doesnt really work - voices change with age. But surely the argument against multiple intersections is that they usually generate very small categories, which is not the case here.
Rathfelder (
talk) 19:27, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
reply
- The case here is that it explicitly violates ERGS rules and creates a situation where there people are being placed in a by ethnicity category, but not in the regular not by ethnicity category, which is an explict violation of the ERGS rules. This is a highly problematic situation which in this case would probably cause some to argue that Wikipedia's very structure is implying and supporting marginalization. Similar arguments have been made in the past related to other categories that do this, and the ERGS rules exist as they are to stop any such marginalization.

Category:National Assembly (Republic of China) elections to match the parent article
National Assembly (Republic of China). This seems to be the standard naming format for categories for elections to specific legislative bodies – e.g.
Category:United States House of Representatives elections,
Category:House of Councillors (Japan) elections,
Category:Senate (France) elections etc. Also, only four elections were ever held to this body; one while China was still unified and three after the RoC was reduced to being just Taiwan, and I don't think it makes sense to rename it in a way that excludes the 1947 election. Cheers,

- Support nom -- This is a difficult one, the 1947 assembly met in Nanking and elected a president. However it lost authority over the mainland by 1949, but the 1947 assembly apparently continued to function in Taiwan. WP practice is treat China 1912-49 and Taiwan 1947-now as separate countries. I think the answer is for the 1947 assembly to be categorises under both. It is in fact already in
Category:Legislative elections in the Republic of China (1912–1949), so that renaming to Taiwan is appropriate and according to precedent: perhaps
Category:National Assembly elections (Taiwan).
