Nominator's rationale: the only content here is ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Airports in the Northern Mariana Islands.

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:24, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: these 18 categories are for only one article: West Indies Power. The article (last meaningful update in 2008) describes it as a company based in Saint Kitts and Nevis with projects of geothermal energy in Nevis, Dominica and Saba (they are Caribbean islands). It seems from a quick web search that the company never completed any of the projects and does not have any activity since 2014. Its website is offline. Regardless of the actual status of the company, I suggest upmerging these near-empty categories to the nearest non-empty parent. Place Clichy ( talk) 16:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply
It will be excluded from the Geothermal power in X and Electric power in X category series, which does not serve our readers interests. Your proposal fits perfectly for the stand-alone categories, but all those categories are part of the category tree, which will be disrupted. Beagel ( talk) 14:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Let's say I'm a reader following that tree: what will I find exactly? I'm going to keep going to category after category and find the same article over and over again which doesn't actually contain relevant information. It's good to disrupt a tree if it doesn't aid navigation. RevelationDirect ( talk) 05:12, 7 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Board of Control for Cricket in India seems to be the main article. The current title has a miscapitalised "of" and lacks an article, so if the "Governing Council of the Indian Premier League" is correct, it should be renamed there. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 ( 𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 15:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply

    The list is irrelevant, EGRS says that it should be a notable topic in its own right. Just a list says nothing in that regard. The point is (in this case) that Jewish mathematicians should have had a different way of doing math than their gentile counterparts, as Carlossuarez46 nicely phrased it. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:55, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    "This is a special collection of problems that were given to select applicants during oral entrance exams to the math department of Moscow State University. These problems were designed to prevent Jews and other undesirables from getting a passing grade. Among problems that were used by the department to blackball unwanted candidate students, these problems are distinguished by having a simple solution that is difficult to find. Using problems with a simple solution protected the administration from extra complaints and appeals. This collection therefore has mathematical as well as historical value." [2].-- Prisencolin ( talk) 11:00, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    What you are referring to here is a test conceived to be arbitrary enough so that an examiner could arbitrarily decide which candidate would pass based primarily on whether they liked the candidate or not. This says something about the test, and about the examiner, but it says nothing about the candidates, except the fact that Jews suffered discrimination in Russia. This in a way reminds of "literacy" and other tests used in the Southern U.S. to prevent Black people from voting, using a very similar mechanism. However, the self-contradiction between this argument and your others arguments in this discussion is smothering: at the same time, Jews would have superior cognitive functions applied to mathematics, and comparable lower results in a math test? How is that supposed to get us anywhere? Both notions are just the expression of various discarded prejudices. Place Clichy ( talk) 15:47, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    While Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence has been deleted, there is definitely still research out there suggesting a link between Ashkenazi Jews and superior cognitive function, such as in mathematics [3].-- Prisencolin ( talk) 11:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    In other words, this is a racist category that has been used for racist purposes at Moscow State University, and is supported by IQ "researchers" at University of Utah. The IQ tests themselves have been shown to be biased. (Speaking as somebody with a reported IQ of more than 3 standard deviations above the mean.)
    William Allen Simpson ( talk) 12:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    If descent from Ancient Judea was the defining factor in these mathematics skills, why would this affect only Ashkenazi Jews and not Sephardis? I guess there's nothing really related to Judaism here. Place Clichy ( talk) 15:47, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    We do not remove content that can be construed as racist WP:NOTCENSORED and all social science (and science in general), is going to be biased in some way. Some fields (like IQ research) can be criticized more frequently for their biases, but I don’t think that’s a reason to exclude WP:POV depictions of said research on the encyclopedia.
    The three countries whose subcategories are listed here are all primarily have Jewish populations which are primarily Ashkenazim in their population.

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT, and WP:OCAWARD)
During the Banana Wars, American troops were routinely stationed in Latin America including during the occupation of the Dominican Republic. US troops in that conflict automatically received Dominican Campaign Medal, an American campaign medal, and they also generally received the Order of Military Merit (Dominican Republic) after the war, ostensibly as a local thank you. The stated purpose of the award was broader, but all 6 of the articles in this category are high ranking US military officials who are already under Category:People of the Banana Wars. The articles generally mention this award in passing with other honours so it doesn't seem defining. There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD)
The Order of Stjepan Radić is given by the president of Croatia "for services and sacrifices for the national and social rights". This category has 3 articles (a President of Croatia, another prominent politician, and a war hero) who are already well categorized. Within the articles, this award gets mentioned in passing and seems to reflect their pre-existing fame rather than be defining. There wasn't a list so I cretated one right here within the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:24, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: these 18 categories are for only one article: West Indies Power. The article (last meaningful update in 2008) describes it as a company based in Saint Kitts and Nevis with projects of geothermal energy in Nevis, Dominica and Saba (they are Caribbean islands). It seems from a quick web search that the company never completed any of the projects and does not have any activity since 2014. Its website is offline. Regardless of the actual status of the company, I suggest upmerging these near-empty categories to the nearest non-empty parent. Place Clichy ( talk) 16:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply
It will be excluded from the Geothermal power in X and Electric power in X category series, which does not serve our readers interests. Your proposal fits perfectly for the stand-alone categories, but all those categories are part of the category tree, which will be disrupted. Beagel ( talk) 14:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Let's say I'm a reader following that tree: what will I find exactly? I'm going to keep going to category after category and find the same article over and over again which doesn't actually contain relevant information. It's good to disrupt a tree if it doesn't aid navigation. RevelationDirect ( talk) 05:12, 7 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Board of Control for Cricket in India seems to be the main article. The current title has a miscapitalised "of" and lacks an article, so if the "Governing Council of the Indian Premier League" is correct, it should be renamed there. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 ( 𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 15:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply

    The list is irrelevant, EGRS says that it should be a notable topic in its own right. Just a list says nothing in that regard. The point is (in this case) that Jewish mathematicians should have had a different way of doing math than their gentile counterparts, as Carlossuarez46 nicely phrased it. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:55, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    "This is a special collection of problems that were given to select applicants during oral entrance exams to the math department of Moscow State University. These problems were designed to prevent Jews and other undesirables from getting a passing grade. Among problems that were used by the department to blackball unwanted candidate students, these problems are distinguished by having a simple solution that is difficult to find. Using problems with a simple solution protected the administration from extra complaints and appeals. This collection therefore has mathematical as well as historical value." [2].-- Prisencolin ( talk) 11:00, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    What you are referring to here is a test conceived to be arbitrary enough so that an examiner could arbitrarily decide which candidate would pass based primarily on whether they liked the candidate or not. This says something about the test, and about the examiner, but it says nothing about the candidates, except the fact that Jews suffered discrimination in Russia. This in a way reminds of "literacy" and other tests used in the Southern U.S. to prevent Black people from voting, using a very similar mechanism. However, the self-contradiction between this argument and your others arguments in this discussion is smothering: at the same time, Jews would have superior cognitive functions applied to mathematics, and comparable lower results in a math test? How is that supposed to get us anywhere? Both notions are just the expression of various discarded prejudices. Place Clichy ( talk) 15:47, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    While Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence has been deleted, there is definitely still research out there suggesting a link between Ashkenazi Jews and superior cognitive function, such as in mathematics [3].-- Prisencolin ( talk) 11:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    In other words, this is a racist category that has been used for racist purposes at Moscow State University, and is supported by IQ "researchers" at University of Utah. The IQ tests themselves have been shown to be biased. (Speaking as somebody with a reported IQ of more than 3 standard deviations above the mean.)
    William Allen Simpson ( talk) 12:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    If descent from Ancient Judea was the defining factor in these mathematics skills, why would this affect only Ashkenazi Jews and not Sephardis? I guess there's nothing really related to Judaism here. Place Clichy ( talk) 15:47, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    We do not remove content that can be construed as racist WP:NOTCENSORED and all social science (and science in general), is going to be biased in some way. Some fields (like IQ research) can be criticized more frequently for their biases, but I don’t think that’s a reason to exclude WP:POV depictions of said research on the encyclopedia.
    The three countries whose subcategories are listed here are all primarily have Jewish populations which are primarily Ashkenazim in their population.

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT, and WP:OCAWARD)
During the Banana Wars, American troops were routinely stationed in Latin America including during the occupation of the Dominican Republic. US troops in that conflict automatically received Dominican Campaign Medal, an American campaign medal, and they also generally received the Order of Military Merit (Dominican Republic) after the war, ostensibly as a local thank you. The stated purpose of the award was broader, but all 6 of the articles in this category are high ranking US military officials who are already under Category:People of the Banana Wars. The articles generally mention this award in passing with other honours so it doesn't seem defining. There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD)
The Order of Stjepan Radić is given by the president of Croatia "for services and sacrifices for the national and social rights". This category has 3 articles (a President of Croatia, another prominent politician, and a war hero) who are already well categorized. Within the articles, this award gets mentioned in passing and seems to reflect their pre-existing fame rather than be defining. There wasn't a list so I cretated one right here within the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC) reply
