- The result of the discussion was: rename without the hyphen. There exists a general consensus to rename, but there are also several other proposed names that are more radically different and may have some level of support. Since
Ham II has stated their intention to nominate the entire tree at
Category:Language activists to one of those proposed wordings, the best course of action may be to simply refresh that particular discussion with a clean slate.

Category:Basque-language scholars seems to be scholars of the language, not scholars who happen to speak Basque. However the rest of
Category:Linguists by language of study is mostly along the lines of
Category:Linguists of Romanian. Wouldnt it be better to rename these along the lines of
Activists of Welsh language? Ambiguous categories are not a good idea.

- @ Rathfelder: I could get behind Category:Activists for the Welsh language. Come to think of it, perhaps my original proposal introduces the ambiguity of Welsh the language vs. Welsh the nationality. An Irish language activist might theoretically be a member of the Language Freedom Movement and be against the Irish language.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Would like to see if there's more agreement on naming scheme. Should it be "Activists of FOO language," "Activists for the FOO language," or "Language activists for FOO"?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, bibliomaniac 1 5 00:37, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- Apart from removing the dash I do not have a particular preference. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment -- There is a potential distinction between Category:Bengali-language activists and Category:Bengali language-activists, but does it matter? Categories are often slightly woolly in their scope, e.g. attempts at splitting "people from" categories have usually been resisted. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:26, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- My preference is for "Activists for the FOO language", because it's idiomatic (unlike "Activists of FOO language") and because the parent articles on the languages are usually at "FOO language" (the main argument against "Language activists for FOO" as I see it). I'm not completely opposed to "Language actviists for FOO", though; "FOO" as opposed to "FOO language" seems to work fine at
Category:Linguists by language of study.
There are exceptions to my second point above, where the parent article isn't at "FOO language"; of the languages at Category:Language activists (not only the ones listed in this nom), they are Esperanto (for Category:Esperantists), Lhasa Tibetan (for Category:Tibetan-language activists) and Scottish Gaelic (for Category:Scottish Gaelic language activists).* "Esperantists" is arguably sui generis and needn't change. Scottish Gaelic presumably has the article title it does because unlike "Irish", "Welsh" and so on it can't be mistaken for a nationality. I don't know what to do about Lhasa Tibetan being the parent article title, to be honest! But I'm inclined towards "Activists for the Scottish Gaelic language" and "Activists for the Tibetan language" as category names, to keep internal consistency in the category naming scheme, and also keep the words "activist" and "language" because of the name of the parent category.
A change to the naming scheme beyond taking out the hyphens is going to affect far more subcategories of Category:Language activists than are listed here, so I'd be tempted to request closure and re-nominate with a proposal for a more wide-ranging change to "Activists for the FOO language". Sorry that this has got rather dysfunctional. Ham II ( talk) 08:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
*A further niggle is Quechuan language for Category:Quechua language activists – i.e., the current category name refers to members the Quechua people who are language activists. If I re-nominate I might argue for changing that to "Quechuan" (the language) for internal consistency in the category names. Ham II ( talk) 08:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Rename per nom; I just noticed this set of categories and was glad to see them nominated already. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 14:07, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- @ bibliomaniac15 (or anyone who's in a position to close): It's been more than a month since the last comment; I'd like this to be closed so that I can start a new CfD for changing all subcats of Category:Language activists with the names of languages (no only those in this nomination) to Activists for the [Foo] language. I'd ping in everyone who's !voted. Ham II ( talk) 18:14, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Language activists
- 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.
- The result of the discussion was: rename without the hyphen. There exists a general consensus to rename, but there are also several other proposed names that are more radically different and may have some level of support. Since
Ham II has stated their intention to nominate the entire tree at
Category:Language activists to one of those proposed wordings, the best course of action may be to simply refresh that particular discussion with a clean slate.

- Propose renaming Category:Welsh-language activists to Category:Welsh language activists
- Nominator's rationale: These are subcategories of
Category:Language activists, not of a hypothetical "activists by language" category as the current style implies. They're for language activists on behalf of Bengali, Catalan, etc., and not for activists of any kind who conduct their activism in the Bengali, Catalan, etc., languages.

Category:Basque-language scholars seems to be scholars of the language, not scholars who happen to speak Basque. However the rest of
Category:Linguists by language of study is mostly along the lines of
Category:Linguists of Romanian. Wouldnt it be better to rename these along the lines of
Activists of Welsh language? Ambiguous categories are not a good idea.

- @ Rathfelder: I could get behind Category:Activists for the Welsh language. Come to think of it, perhaps my original proposal introduces the ambiguity of Welsh the language vs. Welsh the nationality. An Irish language activist might theoretically be a member of the Language Freedom Movement and be against the Irish language. Marcocapelle, as the only person who's !voted, what do you think of this latest suggestion? Ham II ( talk) 13:34, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

- No, that's not my intent at all. The parent article title is Welsh language, and in running text the term is preceded by the definite article (unless it's used attributively), for instance in the article title History of the Welsh language. Ham II ( talk) 08:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment - Looking over Language revitalization, which is apparently the source article for these. And I did a few google searches and I see the term language activism appear a fair amount. So Language activists for x is probably the best way to go. Otherwise, just support the nom, as the dash appears to be inappropriate in any case. - jc37 23:23, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Would like to see if there's more agreement on naming scheme. Should it be "Activists of FOO language," "Activists for the FOO language," or "Language activists for FOO"?

- Apart from removing the dash I do not have a particular preference. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment -- There is a potential distinction between Category:Bengali-language activists and Category:Bengali language-activists, but does it matter? Categories are often slightly woolly in their scope, e.g. attempts at splitting "people from" categories have usually been resisted. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:26, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- My preference is for "Activists for the FOO language", because it's idiomatic (unlike "Activists of FOO language") and because the parent articles on the languages are usually at "FOO language" (the main argument against "Language activists for FOO" as I see it). I'm not completely opposed to "Language actviists for FOO", though; "FOO" as opposed to "FOO language" seems to work fine at
Category:Linguists by language of study.
There are exceptions to my second point above, where the parent article isn't at "FOO language"; of the languages at Category:Language activists (not only the ones listed in this nom), they are Esperanto (for Category:Esperantists), Lhasa Tibetan (for Category:Tibetan-language activists) and Scottish Gaelic (for Category:Scottish Gaelic language activists).* "Esperantists" is arguably sui generis and needn't change. Scottish Gaelic presumably has the article title it does because unlike "Irish", "Welsh" and so on it can't be mistaken for a nationality. I don't know what to do about Lhasa Tibetan being the parent article title, to be honest! But I'm inclined towards "Activists for the Scottish Gaelic language" and "Activists for the Tibetan language" as category names, to keep internal consistency in the category naming scheme, and also keep the words "activist" and "language" because of the name of the parent category.
A change to the naming scheme beyond taking out the hyphens is going to affect far more subcategories of Category:Language activists than are listed here, so I'd be tempted to request closure and re-nominate with a proposal for a more wide-ranging change to "Activists for the FOO language". Sorry that this has got rather dysfunctional. Ham II ( talk) 08:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
*A further niggle is Quechuan language for Category:Quechua language activists – i.e., the current category name refers to members the Quechua people who are language activists. If I re-nominate I might argue for changing that to "Quechuan" (the language) for internal consistency in the category names. Ham II ( talk) 08:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

- @ bibliomaniac15 (or anyone who's in a position to close): It's been more than a month since the last comment; I'd like this to be closed so that I can start a new CfD for changing all subcats of Category:Language activists with the names of languages (no only those in this nomination) to Activists for the [Foo] language.
