- The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:47, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The disambiguation in the current name is to distinguish it from Category:Populated places in the Naledi Local Municipality, FS, because there used to be two municipalities with the same name in South Africa. However the "FS" municipality no longer exists and its category will shortly be deleted as CSD C1. Thus the disambiguation is no longer needed for the "NW" category. htonl ( talk) 21:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Nondenominational secular schools in Australia

- Propose merging Category:Nondenominational secular schools in Australia to Category:Private schools in Australia
- Propose merging Category:Nondenominational secular schools in New South Wales to Category:Private schools in New South Wales
- Propose merging Category:Nondenominational secular schools in Sydney to Category:Private schools in Sydney
- Nominator's rationale: We do not categorize secular schools as such, in Australia or elsewhere. This criterion is probably not defining for them (except if you consider religious schools to be the default form of education). Also, if they are secular, I do not really see how they could be denominational; the use of both terms nondenominational and secular therefore seems redundant. Note that these articles (4 in total) were moved from Category:Nondenominational Christian schools in Australia. I have no opinion regarding the secular vs. Christian character of these individual institutions, which should be discussed at article level, but that's probably not a good way to categorize them. Place Clichy ( talk) 17:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment You're right that nondenominational and secular seems to be a
tautology. Well, the first is softer (no special denomination owns) as the second (no religious influence at all wanted). But your proposal would have the result that both types: "faith schools" and secular schools could be merged into one category for "private schools". Those two types are completely different or even antagonistic. The opposite to private school is state-run school. The latter can be - but must not be - a secular alignment. Keep in mind: Secular schools can be private or state-run. Your proposal is not well-conceived. You should cancel it or redesign it to Rename to "Category:Secular schools in Australia" etc. --
Just N. (

- In fact, the private schools categories are already parent categories of the three nominated above, and all 4 schools in these categories are indeed private schools. That's the reason I suggested these merge targets, as of course all secular schools are not private; per Marcocapelle's comment below these targets are not even necessary. "Faith schools" are found under Category:Religious educational institutions, Category:Religious schools and their many children, no obvious need to change anything there. Place Clichy ( talk) 14:11, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose and propose Alt rename to
Category:Secular schools in Australia and the other two categories done just analogously. --
Just N. (

- Are secular schools only an Australian thing? Otherwise do you suggest to create and populate secular schools categories in every country? That would be a pretty big change. Place Clichy ( talk) 14:11, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support original move or else Category:Independent schools in Australia. In Australia, many state schools are also nondenominational and secular but all the members of this tree seem to be just independent/private schools and should not be merged into a tree containing state schools. ( t · c) buidhe 22:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support nomination in principle, per
WP:OCMISC, but merging is not needed since all articles are already in a private primary school subcategory of the targets.

- Delete since they are in other subcategories. Support the rationale of the nomination. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support - secular by definition has no denomination, as the latter is a religious term. The combination of the two is confusing and more importantly unneeded. Taking a look through the articles entries, while the fact that they are secular is mentioned in the lead paragraph, this seems to be more that they are unaffiliated with any religious group rather than that they are based around a secular or humanist agenda. Going on to Justus Nussbaum's argument above, I believe all the articles in these categories are about private (not state) run schools, so the planned merge doesn't seem problematic.

1912 establishments in Lithuania

- Merge Category:1912 establishments in Lithuania to Category:1912 establishments in the Russian Empire
- Nominator's rationale There was in no sense a Lithuania in 1912. The modern area was part of Northwestern Krai. I do not think cateogrizing by which Krai something was established in is worthwhile. There was no Lithuania in 1912. This is a very, very clear example of historical anachronism and acting as if history is inevitable and the way things are today are the way they ought to be. If we are to keep this category we might as well give up any pretense to historical accuaacy and also create Cateogry:1912 establishments in Israel. It would be no less histoircally inaccurate. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment, a batch nomination from 1579 to 1915 would probably be helpful. Just deletion of a single year does not solve much, worse, it creates inconsistency.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 14:51, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- The issue does not go back all the way to 1579. At least not in the same ways. This is clearly wrong as it exists and cannot be supported. The demands that people fix everything to try to fix found problems are unreasonable and would result in locking in problems because they are so widespread. Our article is less than 100% clear about the issues, however it would seem that the issues are different before and after 1840, although I would argue that this is an unsupportable type of cateogry at least after 1796 if not slightly before.

- Merge Category:1912 establishments in Latvia to Category:1912 establishments in the Russian Empire
- Nominato'ra rationale This is a clear case of anachronism. There was no Latvia in 1912. The modern region was split between to sub-units of the Russian Empire. The Duchy of Courland, and Livonia, the latter of which also included some of modern Estonia. This is a clear example of trying to impose a reality established in about 1917 before it came to be. It is a clear example of anachronism and as such we should not do it. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- The procedural discussion in the nomination above applies similarly here.

- Merge Category:1912 establishments in Ukraine to Category:1912 establishments in the Russian Empire
- Nominator's rationael There was no Ukraine in 1912. There was something like 15 different sub-units of the Russian Empire, 12 or so of which fully and another 3 partly, overlapped with Ukraine. This is a clear example of either imposing a non-defined region on categorization, or imposing anachronisms in the establishment category tree. Either way we should not be doing it. There were way too many Governorates of the Russian Empire to categorize by establishments in each, and there is no other clear way to define boundaries. There were some sub-units, such as Poland and Finland, that were more distrinct, but there is no definable, politically clear Ukraine in 1912 to categorize by. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:49, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- The procedural discussion two nominations above this one (1912 in Lithuania) applies similarly here.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 06:17, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Junk argument at its finest. In 1912 there was no Ukraine. We need to judge categories on their own and on how horrible they are. Not keep them because there may or may not be other equally bad categories around. Other stuff exists is not a valid argument to keep rubbish. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Buddhist religious leaders to Category:Buddhist religious workers
- Nominator's rationale: merge as the distinction between "religious leaders" and "religious workers" is unclear and "religious leader" lacks an objective definition. Why would mystics and revivalists be placed in the leaders category instead of in the workers category? Why would ascetics, missionaries and teachers be placed in the workers category instead of the leaders category? (Note that the ascetics subcat mostly contains Buddhist monks who are also in the leaders category.) Those questions aren't satisfactorily answerable. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- @ Fayenatic london: feel free to disagree. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- And are mystics and ascetics workers? That doesn't quite make sense to me either. If you feel there is a real need to merge these two categories, might it not be better to merge them both into a category with a different, more encompassing name (~ perhaps something like "Buddhist religious figures" or "Buddhist religious personalities" )?
Chris Fynn (
talk) 12:45, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- A new name is also possible, but it should be more specific than Category:Buddhists, otherwise we might just as well merge in there. Both "Buddhist religious figures" and "Buddhist religious personalities" are lacking specifity. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:16, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland churches to Category:Protestant church buildings in Northern Ireland and Category:Baptist churches in the United Kingdom
- Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. The Baptist Centre is the building hosting this Baptist denomination, and Baptist Missions is a department hosted in the building. This is probably not a reason to create categories with reciprocal inclusion for each and every one of these few inter-related articles.

- Propose selectively merging Category:Han Buddhism to Category:Buddhism in China
- Propose merging Category:Han Buddhist deities to Category:Buddhism in China
- Propose merging Category:Han Buddhist holidays to Category:Buddhism in China
- Nominator's rationale: selectively merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Han Buddhism is a redirect to Chinese Buddhism and that article is in fact about Buddhism in China, which in category space is already covered by Category:Buddhism in China. Note that Category:Han Buddhism also covers a little content about Buddhism in Japan (the article Kusha-shū and Category:Buddhism in the Ryukyu Islands), but that should obviously not be merged to Category:Buddhism in China. While Buddhism spread via China to Japan, Buddhism in Japan is not specifically considered to be a subset of Chinese Buddhism (rather, Japanese and Chinese Buddhism are both considered to be a subset of East Asian Buddhism). Merge the two subcategories per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Merge per nom. The topics related to cultural traditions rather than geography may be placed instead in Category:Mahayana which is the branch of Buddhism present in China, Japan and more generally East Asia, a.k.a. the Great Vehicle. The only worry I would have with the proposed title of Buddhism in China is the ambiguity in regards to Tibet, where obviously Buddhism is a most important topic with traditions and history pretty separate from those of China proper, although both belong to Mahayana Buddhism. This ambiguity may be solved by a hatnote description, whether you consider that it should be included or not. Place Clichy ( talk) 09:30, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Members of Pratt's club
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT
-
Pratt's is a gentlemen's club in London and this category contains 4 articles: two don't mention the membership at all (
1,
2), one does mention the club but as president not just a member (
3), but the 4th article really shows how this approach can lead to category clutter: Prime Minister and Social Butterfly
Harold Macmillan's article has a whole section called "London clubs" and that article appears in this category based on this sentence:
- He was also a member of Buck's, Pratt's, the Turf Club and Beefsteak Club.
- The category contents are now all listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Propose Deleting Category:Treaty of Nanking
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING
- The Treaty of Nanking was an unequal treaty where China was forced to allow extraterritorial concessions in major cities where Western citizens would not be subject to Chinese law which lasted from 1842 to 1943. This category consists primarily of major cities that had enclaves like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Nanjing but these are major world cities that don't seemed defined by this century long period for specific neighborhoods.
- In any case, it is the concessions themselves that are important to each location not the treaty which is why we already have Category:Concessions in China to categorize by this topic. But it's not quite an issue of WP:OVERLAPCAT because that tree has more specific articles like Shanghai French Concession so readers can find articles defined by this period. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: The disambiguation in the current name is to distinguish it from Category:Populated places in the Naledi Local Municipality, FS, because there used to be two municipalities with the same name in South Africa. However the "FS" municipality no longer exists and its category will shortly be deleted as CSD C1.

- Propose merging Category:Nondenominational secular schools in New South Wales to Category:Private schools in New South Wales
- Propose merging Category:Nondenominational secular schools in Sydney to Category:Private schools in Sydney
- Nominator's rationale: We do not categorize secular schools as such, in Australia or elsewhere. This criterion is probably not defining for them (except if you consider religious schools to be the default form of education). Also, if they are secular, I do not really see how they could be denominational; the use of both terms nondenominational and secular therefore seems redundant. Note that these articles (4 in total) were moved from Category:Nondenominational Christian schools in Australia. I have no opinion regarding the secular vs. Christian character of these individual institutions, which should be discussed at article level, but that's probably not a good way to categorize them. Place Clichy ( talk) 17:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment You're right that nondenominational and secular seems to be a
tautology. Well, the first is softer (no special denomination owns) as the second (no religious influence at all wanted). But your proposal would have the result that both types: "faith schools" and secular schools could be merged into one category for "private schools". Those two types are completely different or even antagonistic. The opposite to private school is state-run school. The latter can be - but must not be - a secular alignment. Keep in mind: Secular schools can be private or state-run. Your proposal is not well-conceived. You should cancel it or redesign it to Rename to "Category:Secular schools in Australia" etc. --
Just N. (

- In fact, the private schools categories are already parent categories of the three nominated above, and all 4 schools in these categories are indeed private schools. That's the reason I suggested these merge targets, as of course all secular schools are not private; per Marcocapelle's comment below these targets are not even necessary. "Faith schools" are found under Category:Religious educational institutions, Category:Religious schools and their many children, no obvious need to change anything there. Place Clichy ( talk) 14:11, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

- Support original move or else Category:Independent schools in Australia. In Australia, many state schools are also nondenominational and secular but all the members of this tree seem to be just independent/private schools and should not be merged into a tree containing state schools. ( t · c) buidhe 22:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support nomination in principle, per
WP:OCMISC, but merging is not needed since all articles are already in a private primary school subcategory of the targets.

- Delete since they are in other subcategories. Support the rationale of the nomination. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support - secular by definition has no denomination, as the latter is a religious term. The combination of the two is confusing and more importantly unneeded. Taking a look through the articles entries, while the fact that they are secular is mentioned in the lead paragraph, this seems to be more that they are unaffiliated with any religious group rather than that they are based around a secular or humanist agenda. Going on to Justus Nussbaum's argument above, I believe all the articles in these categories are about private (not state) run schools, so the planned merge doesn't seem problematic.

- Merge Category:1912 establishments in Lithuania to Category:1912 establishments in the Russian Empire
- Nominator's rationale There was in no sense a Lithuania in 1912. The modern area was part of Northwestern Krai. I do not think cateogrizing by which Krai something was established in is worthwhile. There was no Lithuania in 1912. This is a very, very clear example of historical anachronism and acting as if history is inevitable and the way things are today are the way they ought to be. If we are to keep this category we might as well give up any pretense to historical accuaacy and also create Cateogry:1912 establishments in Israel. It would be no less histoircally inaccurate. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment, a batch nomination from 1579 to 1915 would probably be helpful. Just deletion of a single year does not solve much, worse, it creates inconsistency.
Marcocapelle (

- The issue does not go back all the way to 1579. At least not in the same ways. This is clearly wrong as it exists and cannot be supported. The demands that people fix everything to try to fix found problems are unreasonable and would result in locking in problems because they are so widespread. Our article is less than 100% clear about the issues, however it would seem that the issues are different before and after 1840, although I would argue that this is an unsupportable type of cateogry at least after 1796 if not slightly before.

- Merge Category:1912 establishments in Latvia to Category:1912 establishments in the Russian Empire
- Nominato'ra rationale This is a clear case of anachronism. There was no Latvia in 1912. The modern region was split between to sub-units of the Russian Empire. The Duchy of Courland, and Livonia, the latter of which also included some of modern Estonia. This is a clear example of trying to impose a reality established in about 1917 before it came to be. It is a clear example of anachronism and as such we should not do it. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Merge Category:1912 establishments in Ukraine to Category:1912 establishments in the Russian Empire
- Nominator's rationael There was no Ukraine in 1912. There was something like 15 different sub-units of the Russian Empire, 12 or so of which fully and another 3 partly, overlapped with Ukraine. This is a clear example of either imposing a non-defined region on categorization, or imposing anachronisms in the establishment category tree. Either way we should not be doing it. There were way too many Governorates of the Russian Empire to categorize by establishments in each, and there is no other clear way to define boundaries. There were some sub-units, such as Poland and Finland, that were more distrinct, but there is no definable, politically clear Ukraine in 1912 to categorize by.

- Propose merging Category:Buddhist religious leaders to Category:Buddhist religious workers
- Nominator's rationale: merge as the distinction between "religious leaders" and "religious workers" is unclear and "religious leader" lacks an objective definition. Why would mystics and revivalists be placed in the leaders category instead of in the workers category? Why would ascetics, missionaries and teachers be placed in the workers category instead of the leaders category? (Note that the ascetics subcat mostly contains Buddhist monks who are also in the leaders category.) Those questions aren't satisfactorily answerable. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- @ Fayenatic london: feel free to disagree. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- And are mystics and ascetics workers? That doesn't quite make sense to me either. If you feel there is a real need to merge these two categories, might it not be better to merge them both into a category with a different, more encompassing name (~ perhaps something like "Buddhist religious figures" or "Buddhist religious personalities" )?
Chris Fynn (

- A new name is also possible, but it should be more specific than Category:Buddhists, otherwise we might just as well merge in there. Both "Buddhist religious figures" and "Buddhist religious personalities" are lacking specifity. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:16, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Han Buddhism is a redirect to Chinese Buddhism and that article is in fact about Buddhism in China, which in category space is already covered by Category:Buddhism in China. Note that Category:Han Buddhism also covers a little content about Buddhism in Japan (the article Kusha-shū and Category:Buddhism in the Ryukyu Islands), but that should obviously not be merged to Category:Buddhism in China. While Buddhism spread via China to Japan, Buddhism in Japan is not specifically considered to be a subset of Chinese Buddhism (rather, Japanese and Chinese Buddhism are both considered to be a subset of East Asian Buddhism). Merge the two subcategories per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

The topics related to cultural traditions rather than geography may be placed instead in Category:Mahayana which is the branch of Buddhism present in China, Japan and more generally East Asia, a.k.a. the Great Vehicle. The only worry I would have with the proposed title of Buddhism in China is the ambiguity in regards to Tibet, where obviously Buddhism is a most important topic with traditions and history pretty separate from those of China proper, although both belong to Mahayana Buddhism.

- Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Members of Pratt's club
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT
-
Pratt's is a gentlemen's club in London and this category contains 4 articles: two don't mention the membership at all (
1,
2), one does mention the club but as president not just a member (
3), but the 4th article really shows how this approach can lead to category clutter: Prime Minister and Social Butterfly
Harold Macmillan's article has a whole section called "London clubs" and that article appears in this category based on this sentence:
- He was also a member of Buck's, Pratt's, the Turf Club and Beefsteak Club.
- The category contents are now all listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Just membership of an organization (or club, in this case) is hardly ever defining. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:31, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Propose Deleting Category:Treaty of Nanking
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING
- The Treaty of Nanking was an unequal treaty where China was forced to allow extraterritorial concessions in major cities where Western citizens would not be subject to Chinese law which lasted from 1842 to 1943. This category consists primarily of major cities that had enclaves like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Nanjing but these are major world cities that don't seemed defined by this century long period for specific neighborhoods.
- In any case, it is the concessions themselves that are important to each location not the treaty which is why we already have Category:Concessions in China to categorize by this topic. But it's not quite an issue of WP:OVERLAPCAT because that tree has more specific articles like Shanghai French Concession so readers can find articles defined by this period. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
