- Propose splitting Category:Syrian Turkmens to Category:Syrian Turkmen and Category:Syrian Turkmen people
- Nominator's rationale: The previous nomination at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 February 13#Category:Syrian Turkmen appears flawed to me. The individual biographies should be moved down into the existing set category subcat Syrian Turkmen people. The topic category should be renamed back to match the main article Syrian Turkmen, which already uses that term as a plural without adding "s", for Syrians of Turkish origin. IIUC, "Turk-men" is already a plural, referring to people of Turkish origin, whereas " Turkmens" are people from Central Asia. – Fayenatic London 21:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Support nom.If this is the best way to categorize this group of people then I have no objection. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 22:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: closely related article Iraqi Turkmen is a lot more detailed on how the term Turkmen/Turkoman/Turcoman came to describe this group in Iraq and Syria, instead of just Turk. That article does use the plural Turkmens, although inconsistently. Note that the etymology comes from the transcription of an Arabic suffix, and not from English man/men as in e.g. Norseman/Norsemen. Neither article suggests that Turkman is the singular. The associated category is Category:Iraqi Turkmens. Article Turkmen Mountain consistently uses Turkmen for the singular and Turkmens for the plural. I agree with moving biographies though, which I did as it does not require CfD. There are plenty of articles about ethnic groups which use the singular or the adjective as a title, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here. Place Clichy ( talk) 00:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Place Clichy's explanation is very plausible. Other European languages preserve "men" in their translation of Turkmenistan while men is not the plural of man in those languages. I suppose in English "men" in Turkmenistan is also unrelated to the plural of man. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- On the other hand, sub-cat Category:Texts by date includes medieval alongside by-century etc. It should probably be "Texts by period" like its sub-cat Christian texts by period; but it would not be helpful to separate out the by-date categories from historical eras for each medium. Category:Architecture by date and its parent Category:Architecture by period have enough to justify both, but most media/types of work do not; so I do not strongly oppose the merge. – Fayenatic London 12:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

- Weak oppose Although I do see the advantages of a merge, I've got the same concerns as Fayenatic. I've got a slight favour of the present situation, as "date" implies at least a year, and "period" is much broader and thus not synonymous.

- Propose splitting Category:Syrian Turkmens to Category:Syrian Turkmen and Category:Syrian Turkmen people
- Nominator's rationale: The previous nomination at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 February 13#Category:Syrian Turkmen appears flawed to me. The individual biographies should be moved down into the existing set category subcat Syrian Turkmen people. The topic category should be renamed back to match the main article Syrian Turkmen, which already uses that term as a plural without adding "s", for Syrians of Turkish origin. IIUC, "Turk-men" is already a plural, referring to people of Turkish origin, whereas " Turkmens" are people from Central Asia. – Fayenatic London 21:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Support nom.If this is the best way to categorize this group of people then I have no objection. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 22:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: closely related article Iraqi Turkmen is a lot more detailed on how the term Turkmen/Turkoman/Turcoman came to describe this group in Iraq and Syria, instead of just Turk. That article does use the plural Turkmens, although inconsistently. Note that the etymology comes from the transcription of an Arabic suffix, and not from English man/men as in e.g. Norseman/Norsemen. Neither article suggests that Turkman is the singular. The associated category is Category:Iraqi Turkmens. Article Turkmen Mountain consistently uses Turkmen for the singular and Turkmens for the plural. I agree with moving biographies though, which I did as it does not require CfD. There are plenty of articles about ethnic groups which use the singular or the adjective as a title, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here. Place Clichy ( talk) 00:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Place Clichy's explanation is very plausible. Other European languages preserve "men" in their translation of Turkmenistan while men is not the plural of man in those languages. I suppose in English "men" in Turkmenistan is also unrelated to the plural of man. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- On the other hand, sub-cat Category:Texts by date includes medieval alongside by-century etc. It should probably be "Texts by period" like its sub-cat Christian texts by period; but it would not be helpful to separate out the by-date categories from historical eras for each medium. Category:Architecture by date and its parent Category:Architecture by period have enough to justify both, but most media/types of work do not; so I do not strongly oppose the merge. – Fayenatic London 12:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I've got a slight favour of the present situation, as "date" implies at least a year, and "period" is much broader and thus not synonymous.

- Propose renaming Category:American artists of Arab descent to Category:American artists of Middle Eastern descent
- Propose renaming Category:American comedians of Arab descent to Category:American comedians of Middle Eastern descent
- Propose renaming Category:American writers of Arab descent to Category:American writers of Middle Eastern descent
- Nominator's rationale: rename per
WP:NONDEF/
WP:OR. For example
John Halaka is of Egyptian descent, and
Michael Nouri is of Iraqi descent. So they may be of Arab ethnic descent, but there is no information about it, instead they may just as well be of e.g. Coptic and Assyrian ethnic descent respectively.

- Nominator's rationale: delete per
WP:NONDEF, the categories are largely populated with fictional alumni and it almost never plays a significant role in the flow of the story line. There is still
Category:Fictional academics for characters who really work at a university, or
Category:Fictional college students for students.

- Nominator's rationale: Hurricanes are not the only type of storm this is used for. This should be moved to accurately reflect usage. In a similar vein, Template:Hurricane season bar button, Template:Hurricane season bar end, Template:Hurricane season bar gap, and Template:Hurricane season bar start should also be moved (hurricane to tropical cyclone).

- Nominator's rationale: This category and its subcategories were all added very recently.
