- Oppose merging. The category 'Carniolan scientists' should be an umbrella category containing only subcategories and not individual articles. The category 'Carniolan mineralogists' is expandable and the criterion is nationality rather than ethnicity. -- TadejM my talk 17:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Carniola merely functioned as a province of Austria-Hungary, so I can't see how this can be framed as nationality. Marcocapelle ( talk) 22:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Carniolan was not a nationality. These categories are too small to preserve - and the articles will also need to be put into appropriate Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav or Slovenian categories. Rathfelder ( talk) 22:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- The Carniolan identity was quite strong (although Carniolans were partly German and partly Slovene by ethnicity), and there is considerable discussion of Carniola in reliable sources, so I don't see it only as a de iure administrative division, but as an important historical and cultural entity. For this reason I oppose merging these categories in 'Austro-Hungarian scientists'. It would lead to a loss of a defining and distinguishing characteristic for all these people: their regional identity. --

- So it is an ethnicity after all, and we do not have unrelated intersection categories of occupation and ethnicity per WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:47, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Johann von Valvasor (Janez Vajkard Valvasor in Slovene) wrote a book about Carniola (The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola) and even today the book stands as one of biggest works of that era. So I oppose, as per TadejM.-- A09090091 ( talk) 09:51, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Not exactly; more like nation. The Germans and the Slovenes would be ethnicities. "An ethnic group or ethnicity is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups such as a common set of traditions, ancestry, language, history, society, culture, nation, religion or social treatment within their residing area." -- TadejM my talk 15:53, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

- Comment, meanwhile User:Rathfelder added several siblings to the nomination. My earlier comment about "the article" refers to the one article in Category:Carniolan mineralogists, then the only nominated category. Support merging/splitting them all. Marcocapelle ( talk) 03:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Query Why does Category:Carniolan scientists only have Slovenia as a parent? Shouldn't Austria-Hungary also be a parent? Laurel Lodged ( talk) 12:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Possibly, though the category may also contain people from modern Inner Carniola, Lower Carniola, Upper Carniola or White Carniola. Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- People associated with these areas would qualify as both Austro-Hungarian and Carniolian (or Slovenian) though, I therefore see no objection not to add Category:Carniolan scientists (or any other Carniolian category) to both Slovenian and Austro-Hungarian parents. Place Clichy ( talk) 00:42, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Support merging but the article should (also) be moved to Category:Austro-Hungarian scientists. -- Just N. ( talk) 14:10, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Merge per nom, per WP:SMALLCAT. While objectors have argued that Carniolian should be retained as a specific ethnicity/nationality, this identity is retained by the merger to Category:Carniolan scientists. However, no reason was really given to keep small subcategories for every scientific specialty. Place Clichy ( talk) 00:42, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the support regarding 'Carniolan'. The reason I have provided for retaining this specific subcategory is that the category 'Carniolan mineralogists' is expandable. There were several Carniolan mineralogists (e.g. Žiga Zois, Valentin Vodnik, Valentin Tratnik, etc.). Mineralogy was a major scientific discipline at the time and many scholars were interested in it. The category provides for unambiguous overview of Carniolan mineralogists among e.g. Slovenian or Austrian mineralogists, which is important since Carniola was a major administrative and cultural unit. In addition, if you take a look at Category:Mineralogists by nationality, you will see it is not the sole such category currently containing only one article so it makes no sense to make it an exception. If it is considered that none of these categories should contain less than a certain number of articles, all those that do not meet the criterion should be nominated. -- TadejM my talk 11:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose No evidence has been given showing that A-this is not likely to grow B-that there has been an exhausive search to ensure we do not currently have any other articles that belong in this category that are not currently placed in it. 3-by nationality is a widely accepted exception to the small cat rules when the overall category has lots of components.

Category:Black Panther (Marvel Comics) images,
Category:Black Panther (Marvel Comics) in other media,

- I'm commenting here as I recently reencountered an issue with comicbook related categories and is relevant here.
- Our system for comic book categories is based on the primary page (like other categories), but it should be based on the comic book titles. "Black Panther" is a character and as Trailblazer pointed out, Category:Black Panther (character) characters is bad, but as is Category:Black Panther (character) images when the images belong to characters who aren't the Black Panther or Category:Black Panther (character) in other media when the character might not even be in it ( Black Panther: Wakanda Forever).
- However, if the categories are based on the comic book title then these become much clearer. There could also be a category for images related to the comics, but there could be a category for images of a character (if needed).
- The only reason I haven't nominated something like this is that I just don't know what the correct title the system should use, as each comic book related to a subject had usually more than one title. Should we just use the publisher for comic book categories (so always "Marvel Comics", "DC Comics", etc.)? Gonnym ( talk) 09:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The name of the category implies the content would be related to the character, which not all the articles within it and the other subcats are. Also, the subcats have not been tagged. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 16:05, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose upper idea of merging. Austro-Hungary was a big country/monarchy with many nations living on area that was known as Austro-Hungary. And thus term Austro-Hungarian is not really a nationality, it is like calling people from USSR Soviets or people from Yugoslavia Yugoslovans. --

- Oppose merging. The category 'Carniolan scientists' should be an umbrella category containing only subcategories and not individual articles. The category 'Carniolan mineralogists' is expandable and the criterion is nationality rather than ethnicity. -- TadejM my talk 17:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Carniola merely functioned as a province of Austria-Hungary, so I can't see how this can be framed as nationality. Marcocapelle ( talk) 22:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Carniolan was not a nationality. These categories are too small to preserve - and the articles will also need to be put into appropriate Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav or Slovenian categories. Rathfelder ( talk) 22:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- The Carniolan identity was quite strong (although Carniolans were partly German and partly Slovene by ethnicity), and there is considerable discussion of Carniola in reliable sources, so I don't see it only as a de iure administrative division, but as an important historical and cultural entity. For this reason I oppose merging these categories in 'Austro-Hungarian scientists'. It would lead to a loss of a defining and distinguishing characteristic for all these people: their regional identity. --

- So it is an ethnicity after all, and we do not have unrelated intersection categories of occupation and ethnicity per WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:47, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Johann von Valvasor (Janez Vajkard Valvasor in Slovene) wrote a book about Carniola (The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola) and even today the book stands as one of biggest works of that era. So I oppose, as per TadejM.-- A09090091 ( talk) 09:51, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Not exactly; more like nation. The Germans and the Slovenes would be ethnicities. "An ethnic group or ethnicity is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups such as a common set of traditions, ancestry, language, history, society, culture, nation, religion or social treatment within their residing area." -- TadejM my talk 15:53, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

- Comment, meanwhile User:Rathfelder added several siblings to the nomination. My earlier comment about "the article" refers to the one article in Category:Carniolan mineralogists, then the only nominated category. Support merging/splitting them all. Marcocapelle ( talk) 03:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Query Why does Category:Carniolan scientists only have Slovenia as a parent? Shouldn't Austria-Hungary also be a parent? Laurel Lodged ( talk) 12:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Possibly, though the category may also contain people from modern Inner Carniola, Lower Carniola, Upper Carniola or White Carniola. Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- People associated with these areas would qualify as both Austro-Hungarian and Carniolian (or Slovenian) though, I therefore see no objection not to add Category:Carniolan scientists (or any other Carniolian category) to both Slovenian and Austro-Hungarian parents.

- Support merging but the article should (also) be moved to Category:Austro-Hungarian scientists. -- Just N. ( talk) 14:10, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Merge per nom, per WP:SMALLCAT. While objectors have argued that Carniolian should be retained as a specific ethnicity/nationality, this identity is retained by the merger to Category:Carniolan scientists. However, no reason was really given to keep small subcategories for every scientific specialty. Place Clichy ( talk) 00:42, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the support regarding 'Carniolan'. The reason I have provided for retaining this specific subcategory is that the category 'Carniolan mineralogists' is expandable. There were several Carniolan mineralogists (e.g. Žiga Zois, Valentin Vodnik, Valentin Tratnik, etc.). Mineralogy was a major scientific discipline at the time and many scholars were interested in it. The category provides for unambiguous overview of Carniolan mineralogists among e.g. Slovenian or Austrian mineralogists, which is important since Carniola was a major administrative and cultural unit. In addition, if you take a look at Category:Mineralogists by nationality, you will see it is not the sole such category currently containing only one article so it makes no sense to make it an exception. If it is considered that none of these categories should contain less than a certain number of articles, all those that do not meet the criterion should be nominated. -- TadejM my talk 11:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose No evidence has been given showing that A-this is not likely to grow B-that there has been an exhausive search to ensure we do not currently have any other articles that belong in this category that are not currently placed in it. 3-by nationality is a widely accepted exception to the small cat rules when the overall category has lots of components.

- Nominator's rationale: Rename per the main target page already being moved from
Black Panther (Marvel Comics) to
Black Panther (character). Thus propose the same renaming for
Category:Black Panther (Marvel Comics) images,
Category:Black Panther (Marvel Comics) in other media,
Category:Black Panther (Marvel Comics) characters (this one could be different, as "Category:Black Panther (character) characters" doesn't sit well), and
Category:Black Panther (Marvel Comics) images.

- I'm commenting here as I recently reencountered an issue with comicbook related categories and is relevant here.
- Our system for comic book categories is based on the primary page (like other categories), but it should be based on the comic book titles. "Black Panther" is a character and as Trailblazer pointed out, Category:Black Panther (character) characters is bad, but as is Category:Black Panther (character) images when the images belong to characters who aren't the Black Panther or Category:Black Panther (character) in other media when the character might not even be in it ( Black Panther: Wakanda Forever).
- However, if the categories are based on the comic book title then these become much clearer. There could also be a category for images related to the comics, but there could be a category for images of a character (if needed).
- The only reason I haven't nominated something like this is that I just don't know what the correct title the system should use, as each comic book related to a subject had usually more than one title. Should we just use the publisher for comic book categories (so always "Marvel Comics", "DC Comics", etc.)? Gonnym ( talk) 09:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The name of the category implies the content would be related to the character, which not all the articles within it and the other subcats are. Also, the subcats have not been tagged. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 16:05, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
