- Oppose, this is part of the tree of Category:Amputees by nationality. Admittedly nationality is trivial too here, but nationality is the main intersection criterion for the entire tree of Category:People. Most certainly WP:EGRS/I does not apply: nationality is not ethnicity. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:39, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, as par of established trees
Category:Amputees by nationality and
Category:Russian people with disabilities.
WP:CATDEF explicitly cite
the nationality of a person or the geographic location of a place
as defining characteristics. Large categories are routinely diffused by such obviously defining characteristics. If you disagree with such categorization, I suggest two possible roads :- If you consider for an individual article that amputation is anecdotal and not a defining characteristic worth a category, or otherwise not sufficiently supported by reliable sources, you may be bold and immediately remove the category for that article. Present your concise rationale in an edit summary, and be prepared to discuss the matter in the article's talk page if another editor objects.
- If you consider that amputation is never defining for any article, then you need to nominate Category:Amputees and all of its categories for discussion, not just the Russian one. Place Clichy ( talk) 08:23, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

- Option A: Propose renaming: Category:Puerto Rican television presenters to Category:Puerto Rican television hosts
- Option B: Propose renaming: Category:Puerto Rican television hosts to Category:Puerto Rican television presenters
- Nominator's rationale: From the introduction of article Television presenter (redirected from Television host), it seems that these terms are used one for the other. I guess this is an WP:ENGVAR issue. Out of Category:Television presenters by nationality, the majority use presenters but some use hosts, including Category:American television hosts. Puerto Rico seems to be the only place with two concurrent categories. I would bend towards option A per the parent American category, and hosts is an older category where most of the content actually is, which is IMHO that this is a usage compatible with Puerto Rico. Place Clichy ( talk) 10:42, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- Option A per nom. This is indeed an ENGVAR issue: what much of the world would call a television "presenter", North American English speakers call a television "host", so they're just different words for the same job rather than different things. So there's no pressing need for two separate categories here — and although Puerto Rico isn't a principally English-speaking area, it is a territory of the United States rather than a fully independent country in its own right, and should thus remain in line with the American "hosts". But "presenters" should remain in place as a redirect to catch any future mistakes around this, as the parent Category:American television hosts also already has.
