- Keep. Without a shared parent, it would be impossible for a reader to navigate from Category:Kero Kero Bonito albums to Category:Kero Kero Bonito songs or vice versa, and these are undoubtedly very closely related cats. Colin M ( talk) 21:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

- 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.
- Propose renaming Category:Leeds Carnegie/Yorkshire Jets players to Category:Yorkshire Jets players
Nominator's rationale: Don't need both historic team names, we generally use the most recent team names i.e. the article is Yorkshire Jets not Leeds Carnegie/Yorkshire Jets Joseph 2302 ( talk) 18:19, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep There is no "normal" on Wikipedia. And who exactly is "we" ? It makes no sense to have Leeds Carnegie players in a category for the name of the team they never played for. There is tonnes of work needed to be done on netball articles. Why are you wasting time on this. ( talk) 20:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- It's the standard for categories on most sports articles. And trying to make things sensible and easy to find is useful, and I came across this when I was trying to categorise some netballers. So stop your snarky "waste of time" nonsense. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 21:01, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- And it makes no sense to have categories that don't match article titles, which is what you are supporting. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 21:09, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - this is indeed unusual. I would prefer the set-up below, with Category:Yorkshire Jets players containing the historical Category:Leeds Carnegie players. Oculi ( talk) 21:53, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

- Joseph, stop been so sensitive. Plus you need to stop issuing threats on my talk page. It's not exactly civil !! If you what to survive on Wikipedia you'll need to learn to take a bit of constructive criticism. I disagree with your view that "Start-class articles are better than no articles". You are effectively passing the buck and just creating more work for other editors. Regarding categorization, I think your suggestions are misleading and inaccurate. It is misleading and confusing to have a player in a category named after a team they never played for. Just because some other sports categories have done it, doesn't make it a universal rule. I think Oculi made a reasonable compromise suggestion but you even oppose that. I urge you to reconsider in the spirit of the collaboration you mentioned earlier. User:Djln Djln ( talk) 14:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Rename/merge per nom (target is a Cat-redirect). The practice is that renamed clubs have categories according to their current name, but needs a headnote recording the old name and that the category includes those who played before it became Yorkshire Jets. This is standard practice for renamed club (and school alumni) categories. There should probably be a cat-redirect for Leeds Carnegie, to prevent it being re-created and populated. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Rename as nominated, and disambiguate Category:Leeds Carnegie players which currently redirects to Category:Leeds Tykes players. – Fayenatic London 20:34, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Hurricanes (netball) players to Category:Surrey Storm players
Nominator's rationale: Same team with different names at different time in their history. We generally have one category for all team names where a team has had multiple names. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 18:18, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep See above. Same answer applies. User:Djln:Djln Djln ( talk) 20:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
-
- Also, there was never a team called "Hurricanes", they were the "London Hurricanes" and "Brunel Hurricanes". If you insist/ there is consensus on splitting players by the team name at the time, then Hurricanes should be sub-split into two separate categories. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 14:03, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - the present set-up is perfect, with Category:Surrey Storm players containing the subcat Category:Hurricanes (netball) players. It is not satisfactory to categorise someone via a team name not mentioned in their article, and cumbersome to go through all articles inserting 'Hurricanes, now known as Surrey Storm'. Oculi ( talk) 21:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge The precedent is that renamed clubs/teams are located at their present name. I have added a short headnote to the target, but if this CfD is successful this needs to be amended to refer to the old names of London Hurricanes and Brunel Hurricanes (with dates). I note that most of the teams appear to be university teams. Is this a professional team?
Peterkingiron (
talk) 17:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- These teams are not university teams. They maybe based at universities or sponsored by universities but the players are not students. User:Djln:Djln Djln ( talk) 19:19, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge and purge. There are precedents for some US sports teams where there are huge numbers of players with articles, making a split more useful, but this category has only 6 members. Of these, Ama Agbeze and Louisa Brownfield played for London Hurricanes, Chioma Matthews and Sonia Mkoloma for Brunel Hurricanes, and there is no such information about Kadeen Corbin or Abby Sargent in their articles or citations, so I suggest removing them anyway. – Fayenatic London 20:27, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Health clubs by country to Category:Health clubs
- Propose merging Category:Health clubs in Canada to Category:Health clubs and Category:Health care companies of Canada
- Propose merging Category:Health clubs in Hong Kong to Category:Health clubs and Category:Health care companies of Hong Kong

- Propose merging Category:Health clubs in Ireland to Category:Health clubs and Category:Health care companies of Ireland

- Oppose most -- They are not about health (i.e. medical) care but about fitness (gyms, etc.): see the main article Health club, also gym. The possible exception is a Nigeria case which is called a clinic, which may be miscategorised. Despite the name, they should probably not be parented to health care, but to sport. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:32, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge somewhere, Peterkingiron has a point in the sense that "health care companies" are not a really appropriate merge target. The parent categories of these, such as Category:Medical and health organizations based in Nigeria seem to be better merge targets. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:32, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Nervo-Trajanic Dynasty to Category:Nervo–Trajanic dynasty
Nominator's rationale: Proper format. ★Trekker ( talk) 04:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I would have said that a hyphen is more appropriate here, as we're combining adjectives to modify "Dynasty". I can see the argument for an n-dash, but a hyphen seems better to me when we're creating a compound adjective rather than saying "from Nerva to Trajan". That said—should it be "Nervo-" to begin with? "Nerva" is a first-declension noun with an a-stem, so creating an adjective with a second-declension o-stem from it looks wrong. P Aculeius ( talk) 10:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- The parent category is Nerva–Antonine dynasty so I went with n-dash, but overall I don't mind either. ★Trekker ( talk) 12:33, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comments - the en-dash follows from the article Nerva–Antonine dynasty, to which Nervo-Trajanic Dynasty redirects. There is no article Nerva-Trajanic dynasty (or Nerva–Trajanic dynasty or Nervo–Trajanic dynasty (en-dashes)). (There are more possibilities with uppercase Dynasty.) Oculi ( talk) 13:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Not defining, unclear inclusion criteria (which relatives are supposed to be included). Avilich ( talk) 15:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Nerva–Antonine dynasty in order to align with article Nerva–Antonine dynasty. Sort of WP:C2D actually. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:37, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Parenthetical disambiguators in the middle of a title are pretty rare, and seem to me to be a bad idea.

There is tonnes of work needed to be done on netball articles. Why are you wasting time on this. ( talk) 20:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- It's the standard for categories on most sports articles. And trying to make things sensible and easy to find is useful, and I came across this when I was trying to categorise some netballers. So stop your snarky "waste of time" nonsense. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 21:01, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- And it makes no sense to have categories that don't match article titles, which is what you are supporting. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 21:09, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - this is indeed unusual. I would prefer the set-up below, with Category:Yorkshire Jets players containing the historical Category:Leeds Carnegie players. Oculi ( talk) 21:53, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

- Joseph, stop been so sensitive. Plus you need to stop issuing threats on my talk page. It's not exactly civil !! If you what to survive on Wikipedia you'll need to learn to take a bit of constructive criticism. I disagree with your view that "Start-class articles are better than no articles". You are effectively passing the buck and just creating more work for other editors. Regarding categorization, I think your suggestions are misleading and inaccurate. It is misleading and confusing to have a player in a category named after a team they never played for. Just because some other sports categories have done it, doesn't make it a universal rule. I think Oculi made a reasonable compromise suggestion but you even oppose that. I urge you to reconsider in the spirit of the collaboration you mentioned earlier.

- Rename/merge per nom (target is a Cat-redirect). The practice is that renamed clubs have categories according to their current name, but needs a headnote recording the old name and that the category includes those who played before it became Yorkshire Jets. This is standard practice for renamed club (and school alumni) categories. There should probably be a cat-redirect for Leeds Carnegie, to prevent it being re-created and populated. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Rename as nominated, and disambiguate Category:Leeds Carnegie players which currently redirects to Category:Leeds Tykes players. – Fayenatic London 20:34, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Hurricanes (netball) players to Category:Surrey Storm players
Nominator's rationale: Same team with different names at different time in their history. We generally have one category for all team names where a team has had multiple names. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 18:18, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep See above. Same answer applies. User:Djln:Djln Djln ( talk) 20:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

- Also, there was never a team called "Hurricanes", they were the "London Hurricanes" and "Brunel Hurricanes". If you insist/ there is consensus on splitting players by the team name at the time, then Hurricanes should be sub-split into two separate categories. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 14:03, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - the present set-up is perfect, with Category:Surrey Storm players containing the subcat Category:Hurricanes (netball) players. It is not satisfactory to categorise someone via a team name not mentioned in their article, and cumbersome to go through all articles inserting 'Hurricanes, now known as Surrey Storm'. Oculi ( talk) 21:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge The precedent is that renamed clubs/teams are located at their present name. I have added a short headnote to the target, but if this CfD is successful this needs to be amended to refer to the old names of London Hurricanes and Brunel Hurricanes (with dates). I note that most of the teams appear to be university teams. Is this a professional team?
Peterkingiron (
talk) 17:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- These teams are not university teams. They maybe based at universities or sponsored by universities but the players are not students. User:Djln:Djln Djln ( talk) 19:19, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge and purge. There are precedents for some US sports teams where there are huge numbers of players with articles, making a split more useful, but this category has only 6 members. Of these, Ama Agbeze and Louisa Brownfield played for London Hurricanes, Chioma Matthews and Sonia Mkoloma for Brunel Hurricanes, and there is no such information about Kadeen Corbin or Abby Sargent in their articles or citations, so I suggest removing them anyway. – Fayenatic London 20:27, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose most -- They are not about health (i.e. medical) care but about fitness (gyms, etc.): see the main article Health club, also gym. The possible exception is a Nigeria case which is called a clinic, which may be miscategorised. Despite the name, they should probably not be parented to health care, but to sport. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:32, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge somewhere, Peterkingiron has a point in the sense that "health care companies" are not a really appropriate merge target. The parent categories of these, such as Category:Medical and health organizations based in Nigeria seem to be better merge targets. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:32, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Nervo-Trajanic Dynasty to Category:Nervo–Trajanic dynasty
Nominator's rationale: Proper format. ★Trekker ( talk) 04:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I would have said that a hyphen is more appropriate here, as we're combining adjectives to modify "Dynasty". I can see the argument for an n-dash, but a hyphen seems better to me when we're creating a compound adjective rather than saying "from Nerva to Trajan". That said—should it be "Nervo-" to begin with? "Nerva" is a first-declension noun with an a-stem, so creating an adjective with a second-declension o-stem from it looks wrong. P Aculeius ( talk) 10:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- The parent category is Nerva–Antonine dynasty so I went with n-dash, but overall I don't mind either. ★Trekker ( talk) 12:33, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comments - the en-dash follows from the article Nerva–Antonine dynasty, to which Nervo-Trajanic Dynasty redirects. There is no article Nerva-Trajanic dynasty (or Nerva–Trajanic dynasty or Nervo–Trajanic dynasty (en-dashes)). (There are more possibilities with uppercase Dynasty.)

- Propose renaming Category:Oberliga (ice hockey) seasons to Category:Oberliga seasons (ice hockey)
Nominator's rationale: Parenthetical disambiguators in the middle of a title are pretty rare, and seem to me to be a bad idea. Is putting it at the end better in this case, and others such as Category:Oberliga (ice hockey) seasons and Category:Resovia (volleyball) players? Dicklyon ( talk) 20:23, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
