Oversight. I found the categories from
Category:Members_of_the_Parliament_of_Finland_(2023–27) which only has the ones I listed in the navseasoncats template. I didn't think to look at the containing category for more. I can amend this CfD or list them at speedy? Whatever is easiest. Closhund/talk/ 14:17, 6 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Either of these two options will do.

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also
WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 9th century, and this
Tkhaba-Yerdy Church stands in a place that wouldn't become part of "Russia" until the 19th century, and it is also far outside the 9th-century territory of
Kievan Rus'. I guess we could still group it as
Category:Medieval Eastern Orthodox church buildings in Russia. "9th-century architecture in Russia" can then be Deleted as an empty cat.
"9th century in Kievan Rus'" is also a Smallcat with just 1 item,
Siege of Constantinople (860), and that just doesn't belong in either the category trees of Kievan Rus', Russia, or Ukraine, because these three states didn't exist yet (as far as we know, Kievan Rus' was only founded around 880), and this event didn't even happen there, but in, well,
Constantinople, capital of the
Byzantine Empire. One could argue for upmerging to
Category:History of Kievan Rus' if we presume Kievan Rus' to have been founded several decades earlier, but we don't need to, because it is already in its sub-sub-sub-category
Category:Rus'–Byzantine wars. Soo... just Delete.
The result is that "9th century in Russia" becomes empty and can be Deleted, while "9th century in Ukraine" retains only 1 item,
Great Moravia, which could be upmerged to
Category:Medieval Ukraine, but is already there, so this cat can be Deleted as well. That should clean up a lot. Cheers,

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also
WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 9th century. Ironically, the only item in this cat,
Kievan Rus', is one of the alleged "predecessor states" of modern Russia.
Vladimir-Suzdal emerged out of Kievan Rus' in the mid-12th century,
Muscovy emerged out of Vladimir-Suzdal in the late 13th century, and the
Tsardom of Russia emerged out of Muscovy in the mid-15th century. If anything, what would later be known as "Russia" was established "in Kievan Rus'", not the other way around. We could theoretically also merge to
Category:9th century in Kievan Rus', but it wouldn't really make sense and still be a Smallcat, so let's just Upmerge to Europe.

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also
WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 8th century. At the earliest, there might perhaps have been a "
Rus' Khaganate" in 839, but there is great controversy and uncertainty over whether this ever existed, and if so, where it was located, with
Staraya Ladoga (the only item in this cat) just being one of many possible locations. But the latter predated the former by almost a century, if the former existed at all. Let's just Upmerge to Europe.

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

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category of unclear utility. As always, stub categories require 60 articles before they may be created, but this only features 30 -- and although it might be possible to repopulate it by going through the parent to search for stragglers, it's not at all clear that doing so would actually be a valuable use of anybody's time. Especially in modern times, actors rarely if ever only do stage work, but quite commonly do stage and film and television acting, so using the stub system like this would require most actors to be double-tagged for Canada-stage-actor and Canada-screen-actor at the same time as each other. The larger issue of whether the stub category tree really needs to curate any category segregation between
Category:Stage actor stubs and
Category:Screen actor stubsat all is probably worth discussing at another time, but I'm not proposing it for discussion here and now -- but at the very minimum, this subcategory isn't needed for only half the minimum required number of entries.

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

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category without evidence of approval by WikiProject stub sorting. As always, stub categories have a minimum bar of 60 articles before they may be created, and thus require approval from the WikiProject before their creation is permitted -- but this features just 27 articles, and there's no evidence that its creation was authorized at all. The template is fine, but should just sort its entries into the parent categories rather than having its own dedicated category. (Upmerging to
Category:Canadian building and structure stubs not needed, as everything here is already in an appropriate provincial subcategory of that.)

Nominator's rationale:manually merge, trivial intersection between legends and language family. Subcategories which are already in
Category:Legends by country do not have to be included in the merge process.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 15:37, 30 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Merge Potentially a useful category, but it is filled with examples of legends from specific countries which presumably speak Indo-European languages today, without clearly drawing a connection to a "Indo-European" rather than more recent history. If it were a list of Proto-Indo-European language legends or something, that might be useful, but then that would be
Category:Proto-Indo-European legends or
Category:Proto-Indo-European mythology or some such.

Oculi: I guess there is very low potential for growing. Hence: obvious deleteEstopedist1 (
talk) 17:37, 14 July 2023 (UTC)reply
It's not at all obvious.
WP:CATDEF: "The defining characteristics of an article's topic are central to categorizing the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to in describing the topic, such as the nationality of a person or the geographic location of a place." So
Charles Maurras, l'Action française et la question sociale, a book by
Bertrand Renouvin about
Charles Maurras, has to be categorised under 'books by Bertrand Renouvin' and 'Books about Charles Maurras'. You can't write even a sentence about a book without mentioning the author or the subject, which in this case is even in the title of the book. (This argument does not apply to 'Swiss emigrants to Bolivia' (which is an intersection of 2 categories or maybe 3: "Swiss people" (defining, nationality), "emigrants" (not necessarily defining), "immigrants to Bolivia" (ditto) or 'People educated at Boo School', which is not defining in general. Eg
this obit does not mention his school (which happens to be the one I attended).)

Should the IMT category not be created as a subcat of this one? After all, as you noted in the list article, that logic doesn't apply to Loesener (who witnessed at Nuremberg but at the Ministers' trial, not the IMT), and there are lots more known witnesses to the other trials (see the list in German wiki) who would belong in 'Nuremberg Trials' but not 'IMT'.
UndercoverClassicist (
talk) 07:35, 24 June 2023 (UTC)reply
Appreciate the correction on the German list; you are quite right there. However, they then have
de:Kategorie:Zeuge in den Nürnberger Prozessen, which is resolutely plural: are all the witnesses there IMT witnesses? It may be that the IMT has so completely eclipsed the other Nuremberg trials in the scholarly record that participation in those trials would not be a major reason for notability - as very much a non-expert, that sounds surprising to me, but I'll defer to people more experienced in the subject if they disagree.
UndercoverClassicist (
talk) 18:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)reply
The RS coverage of the IMT is at least as much as the twelve subsequent Nuremberg trials combined. You're correct that the German category combines the IMT and NMT witnesses but if you check the bios from the dewiki category it does not seem that the NMT witnesses are a defining characteristic as we would consider it on enwiki (they are notable for something else, no lead mention, just a passing mention in the article, etc.) (

Of these three, Hoffmann testified at the IMT and for the other two it does not seem that their testimony was a defining characteristic, reinforcing my hypothesis that testifying as a witness at the subsequent trials was non-defining and thus unsuitable for categorization. (

Nominator's rationale: Please see
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and
WP:CATDEFINING. These categories do not contain any stand-alone articles about instances of controversy. Most of the included pages are biographies of comedians deemed controversial; the only non-biographies are
Jay Hind!,
The Closer (2021 film) and
Seven dirty words.

Delete per nom. I might add
WP:OPINIONCAT; after all, what counts as "controversial" is always someone's opinion. A good example of this is
Shabana Rehman Gaarder, who published a fiction book about a Pakistani girl and a Norwegian boy having a sexual relationship, which some journalists deemed "controversial". At the 21 August 2005 book presentation, she made her own thoughts known:
Moreover, she thought it was utter nonsense that a relationship between a Norwegian boy and a Pakistani girl would still be "controversial" in 2005 after Pakistanis and Norwegians had been living together in the same country for over 30 years and there had been numerous cross-cultural romantic relationships.[11]:13:19 To reinforce her point, she kissed the then female Culture Minister present,
Valgerd Svarstad Haugland, on the mouth (Haugland (Christian People's Party) had been campaigning for gay rights for years);[12] then she showed her bare bottom in front of the entire audience and then said, "Now that's controversial!"[9] She added, "I want to show that in Norway you can do such things without being lynched or arrested."[3]
So, according to stand-up comedian/author Shabana herself, her act of
mooning the crowd was "controversial" (and would have fitted in
Category:Obscenity controversies in stand-up comedy), but she didn't think there was anything "controversial" (whether "obscene / race-related / religious") about a Pakistani girl and a Norwegian boy having sex in her book, although some critics did. Whether it was "controversial" for her to publicly kiss the Culture Minister on the mouth (Shabana and Valgerd both being women) is yet another matter of opinion. It might have been controversial back in 2005, in Norway, according to some people in the audience, but not necessarily other people, elsewhere, at other times. Moreover, times change. How do we account for that in categorisation? I don't think we can. Therefore, we should delete all these categories per
WP:NPOV. Cheers,

I think
WP:OPINIONCAT is mainly about categorizing biographies by a certain opinion, i.e. advocates of opinion X, opponents of opinion Y.

Nominator's rationale: "Anga Region" is not a region of India. The category page describes the page as a list and links to
Anga, which was an ancient Indo-Aryan tribe of eastern India whose existence is attested during the Iron Age. No mention of "Anga Region" or "Anga" in the articles. The temples do not have any connection to the Iron Age tribe. —

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT. 1 P, 0 C. Also
WP:OR; there was no "Russia" yet in the 9th century, and this
Tkhaba-Yerdy Church stands in a place that wouldn't become part of "Russia" until the 19th century, and it is also far outside the 9th-century territory of
Kievan Rus'. I guess we could still group it as
Category:Medieval Eastern Orthodox church buildings in Russia. "9th-century architecture in Russia" can then be Deleted as an empty cat.
"9th century in Kievan Rus'" is also a Smallcat with just 1 item,
Siege of Constantinople (860), and that just doesn't belong in either the category trees of Kievan Rus', Russia, or Ukraine, because these three states didn't exist yet (as far as we know, Kievan Rus' was only founded around 880), and this event didn't even happen there, but in, well,
Constantinople, capital of the
Byzantine Empire. One could argue for upmerging to
Category:History of Kievan Rus' if we presume Kievan Rus' to have been founded several decades earlier, but we don't need to, because it is already in its sub-sub-sub-category
Category:Rus'–Byzantine wars. Soo... just Delete.
The result is that "9th century in Russia" becomes empty and can be Deleted, while "9th century in Ukraine" retains only 1 item,
Great Moravia, which could be upmerged to
Category:Medieval Ukraine, but is already there, so this cat can be Deleted as well. That should clean up a lot. Cheers,

Vladimir-Suzdal emerged out of Kievan Rus' in the mid-12th century,
Muscovy emerged out of Vladimir-Suzdal in the late 13th century, and the
Tsardom of Russia emerged out of Muscovy in the mid-15th century. If anything, what would later be known as "Russia" was established "in Kievan Rus'", not the other way around. We could theoretically also merge to
Category:9th century in Kievan Rus', but it wouldn't really make sense and still be a Smallcat, so let's just Upmerge to Europe.

Staraya Ladoga (the only item in this cat) just being one of many possible locations. But the latter predated the former by almost a century, if the former existed at all. Let's just Upmerge to Europe.

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category of unclear utility. As always, stub categories require 60 articles before they may be created, but this only features 30 -- and although it might be possible to repopulate it by going through the parent to search for stragglers, it's not at all clear that doing so would actually be a valuable use of anybody's time. Especially in modern times, actors rarely if ever only do stage work, but quite commonly do stage and film and television acting, so using the stub system like this would require most actors to be double-tagged for Canada-stage-actor and Canada-screen-actor at the same time as each other. The larger issue of whether the stub category tree really needs to curate any category segregation between
Category:Stage actor stubs and
Category:Screen actor stubsat all is probably worth discussing at another time, but I'm not proposing it for discussion here and now -- but at the very minimum, this subcategory isn't needed for only half the minimum required number of entries.

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category without evidence of approval by WikiProject stub sorting. As always, stub categories have a minimum bar of 60 articles before they may be created, and thus require approval from the WikiProject before their creation is permitted -- but this features just 27 articles, and there's no evidence that its creation was authorized at all. The template is fine, but should just sort its entries into the parent categories rather than having its own dedicated category. (Upmerging to
Category:Canadian building and structure stubs not needed, as everything here is already in an appropriate provincial subcategory of that.)

Merge Potentially a useful category, but it is filled with examples of legends from specific countries which presumably speak Indo-European languages today, without clearly drawing a connection to a "Indo-European" rather than more recent history. If it were a list of Proto-Indo-European language legends or something, that might be useful, but then that would be
Category:Proto-Indo-European legends or

It's not at all obvious.
WP:CATDEF: "The defining characteristics of an article's topic are central to categorizing the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to in describing the topic, such as the nationality of a person or the geographic location of a place." So
Charles Maurras, l'Action française et la question sociale, a book by
Bertrand Renouvin about
Charles Maurras, has to be categorised under 'books by Bertrand Renouvin' and 'Books about Charles Maurras'. You can't write even a sentence about a book without mentioning the author or the subject, which in this case is even in the title of the book. (This argument does not apply to 'Swiss emigrants to Bolivia' (which is an intersection of 2 categories or maybe 3: "Swiss people" (defining, nationality), "emigrants" (not necessarily defining), "immigrants to Bolivia" (ditto) or 'People educated at Boo School', which is not defining in general. Eg
this obit does not mention his school (which happens to be the one I attended).)

Should the IMT category not be created as a subcat of this one? After all, as you noted in the list article, that logic doesn't apply to Loesener (who witnessed at Nuremberg but at the Ministers' trial, not the IMT), and there are lots more known witnesses to the other trials (see the list in German wiki) who would belong in 'Nuremberg Trials' but not 'IMT'.
UndercoverClassicist (
talk) 07:35, 24 June 2023 (UTC)reply
Appreciate the correction on the German list; you are quite right there. However, they then have
de:Kategorie:Zeuge in den Nürnberger Prozessen, which is resolutely plural: are all the witnesses there IMT witnesses? It may be that the IMT has so completely eclipsed the other Nuremberg trials in the scholarly record that participation in those trials would not be a major reason for notability - as very much a non-expert, that sounds surprising to me, but I'll defer to people more experienced in the subject if they disagree.
UndercoverClassicist (
talk) 18:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)reply
The RS coverage of the IMT is at least as much as the twelve subsequent Nuremberg trials combined. You're correct that the German category combines the IMT and NMT witnesses but if you check the bios from the dewiki category it does not seem that the NMT witnesses are a defining characteristic as we would consider it on enwiki (they are notable for something else, no lead mention, just a passing mention in the article, etc.) (

20th century in Czechoslovakia
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

Nominator's rationale: manually merge and re-parent targets as duplicates, since Czechoslovakia was wholly in the 20th century. The merge should be done manually because quite some content is already deeper in the tree of every target. But, the 20th-century parent categories should be added to the targets, so that the Czechoslovak categories still remain part of the tree of the 20th century.

Nominator's rationale: Please see
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and
WP:CATDEFINING. These categories do not contain any stand-alone articles about instances of controversy. Most of the included pages are biographies of comedians deemed controversial; the only non-biographies are
Jay Hind!,
The Closer (2021 film) and
Seven dirty words.
gnu57 01:53, 30 July 2023 (UTC) Missed one.
gnu57 10:24, 30 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete per nom. I might add
WP:OPINIONCAT; after all, what counts as "controversial" is always someone's opinion. A good example of this is
Shabana Rehman Gaarder, who published a fiction book about a Pakistani girl and a Norwegian boy having a sexual relationship, which some journalists deemed "controversial". At the 21 August 2005 book presentation, she made her own thoughts known:
Moreover, she thought it was utter nonsense that a relationship between a Norwegian boy and a Pakistani girl would still be "controversial" in 2005 after Pakistanis and Norwegians had been living together in the same country for over 30 years and there had been numerous cross-cultural romantic relationships.[11]:13:19 To reinforce her point, she kissed the then female Culture Minister present,
Valgerd Svarstad Haugland, on the mouth (Haugland (Christian People's Party) had been campaigning for gay rights for years);[12] then she showed her bare bottom in front of the entire audience and then said, "Now that's controversial!"[9] She added, "I want to show that in Norway you can do such things without being lynched or arrested."[3]
So, according to stand-up comedian/author Shabana herself, her act of
mooning the crowd was "controversial" (and would have fitted in
Category:Obscenity controversies in stand-up comedy), but she didn't think there was anything "controversial" (whether "obscene / race-related / religious") about a Pakistani girl and a Norwegian boy having sex in her book, although some critics did. Whether it was "controversial" for her to publicly kiss the Culture Minister on the mouth (Shabana and Valgerd both being women) is yet another matter of opinion. It might have been controversial back in 2005, in Norway, according to some people in the audience, but not necessarily other people, elsewhere, at other times. Moreover, times change. How do we account for that in categorisation? I don't think we can. Therefore, we should delete all these categories per
WP:NPOV. Cheers,

I think
WP:OPINIONCAT is mainly about categorizing biographies by a certain opinion, i.e. advocates of opinion X, opponents of opinion Y.

Nominator's rationale: "Anga Region" is not a region of India. The category page describes the page as a list and links to
Anga, which was an ancient Indo-Aryan tribe of eastern India whose existence is attested during the Iron Age. No mention of "Anga Region" or "Anga" in the articles. The temples do not have any connection to the Iron Age tribe. —

Delete, not a defining characteristic. Perhaps it refers to the region where
Angika is spoken.
