Nominator's rationale: Parent category splitted. Should them be merged or renamed then? -- MikutoH talk! 22:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Reasons I believe this should be renamed at least: the term is imprecise and isn't widely used, different from "same-sex attraction" or "same-sex marriage". It's also cisnormative. Could it be named same-gender? I'm not sure. -- MikutoH talk! 23:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Though I believe it's grouping non-gender LGBT identities, but it's also separating transgender from LGBT sexual orientations in Category:Works about LGBT topics. -- MikutoH talk! 23:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose It was the wrong choice to "split"/merge the parent category too. ★Trekker ( talk) 23:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Question. What is the alternative proposal? I really don't understand what the nominator is hoping to accomplish with the merge/rename without a target or proposal. Mason ( talk) 00:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • I am assuming that the intended merge target is the LGBT parent category, but it would be helpful if User:MikutoH would add this to the nomination explicitly. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
      I meant upmerging (that's still a new word for me). MassCFD didn't provide an option to where I wanted to merge for me. So "Works about LGBT topics" for "Works about same-sex sexuality", or more if needed. -- MikutoH talk! 23:47, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
      plus Added. -- MikutoH talk! 23:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose, the rationale isn't very relevant because Category:Homosexuality still exists. The question is more if we should rename Category:Homosexuality to Category:Same-sex sexuality or, the other way around, whether we should rename Category:Works about same-sex sexuality to Category:Works about homosexuality. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose completely unnecessary, and to be honest somewhat offensive. "Same-sex sexuality" and "LGBT topics" are not synonyms. Homosexuality, bisexuality and being transgender aren't all the same thing. The rationale It's also cisnormative doesn't really apply either, all four terms in the acronym LGBT are cisnormative.

Nominator's rationale Refiling Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 March 12#Babel category duplicates, which was closed as no consensus due to insufficient participation (nobody other than me and the creator commented). * Pppery * it has begun... 15:37, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Note: in the previous discussion, creator clearly misunderstood what was being proposed. Support at least Category:User nrm to Category:User nrf. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:28, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose deleting "nrf": this is the ONLY correct language code for Norman (some Wikimedia wikis has used "nrm" for Norman, but they are wrong as this code is for a completely unrelated Asian language: Narom; this is wa wellknown historic error made by Wikimedia that forgot to check valid codes in ISO 639 or IANA databases; if it was created today, using "nrm" for Norman would be rejected, "nrf" is assigned since years in ISO 639). "NRM" is already marked has need migration to "NRF" to leave the place for Narom. Wikidata rejects the use of "nrm" for Norman in its data (it is still accepted only in interwiki links to existing Norman Wikipedia, as long as it is not fully renamed).
    The description of the category is perfectly correct: these are NOT at all the same language.
    In the mean time, Narom users should be able to contribute and speak about their language, even if for now they cannot have their own localized wiki, so they have to use some other projects spaces in other localized wikis or international wikis, for example in Wiktionary and Wikidata where their vocabulary is being fed already with "nrm". In HTML/SVG/XML markup the lang attribute used is already "nrf" for Norman. In Wiktionary editions, and in Wikidata, Norman terms are tagged and indexed with "nrf", not ""nrm". Do not confuse legacy Wikimedia interwiki codes (which are bound to Internet subdomain names, without being restricted to use only one language or script, even if there's a default language or script) with standard language codes for identifying any contents. verdy_p ( talk) 17:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • The proposal is not to delete nrf, so it is no use opposing that. The proposal is to move Norman-speaking entries from nrm to nrf. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale I attempted this exact outcome at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 March 12#User mul, which got closed as no consensus due to zero participation. My rationale there was:

Way back in April 2022, I nominated this category for deletion, claiming Recreation of category previously deleted per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 30#Category:Multilingual Wikipedians under a technically accurate but nonsensical name containing only one user who has been inactive since 2007. [...]. The creator requested that [I] amend the babel stuff so that {{#Babel:en|mul}} no longer populates a category., which can now be done by editing MediaWiki:Babel-category-override, so the original nomination for deletion is once again valid. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:43, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I'll let Nederlandse Leeuw add a rationale. House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 12:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale (additional nominees): WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. Recent precedents have favoured (up)merging to "Military history of X", unless such a category does not yet exist, in which case they are proposed to be renamed to "Military history of X" instead. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 24#Battles by location in Germany is a closely connected discussion which has already put this into practice.
(PS: Category:Battles by location in France could be Upmerged to Category:Military history of France by location instead of Deleted for logging purposes, but it doesn't make much difference. Category:Battles by location in Germany is proposed to be merged into Category:Military history of Germany by state, but such a category does not exist for France "by region" yet, so it could better be created than trying to recycle Category:Battles by location in France).

Category:New South Wales rugby union team players

Nominator's rationale: The two are covering the same team and should be merged. Especially as New South Wales rugby union team redirects to the Waratahs. The C of E God Save the King! ( talk) 09:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Merge per nomination. This was the same side. Where is the dividing line drawn? If 1995, as I suspect, that is entirely arbitrary, there was Super 10 (rugby union) and Super 6 Rugby which were predecessor competitions run on exactly the same lines as early Super Rugby. All players at the Waratahs now, as pre-95, have a theoretical club side in the Shute Shield they can play for when not selected. Skeene88 ( talk) 08:51, 17 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep: Perhaps there's a better way, but this was an attempt on my part to differentiate between the professional Super Rugby era iteration of the team and the historical side. This would be in the same way rugby league has Category:New South Wales Rugby League State of Origin players as a subcat of Category:New South Wales rugby league team players (though both are captured in the one article). Maybe an option would be to move Category:New South Wales Waratahs players to Category:New South Wales Waratahs (Super Rugby) players? Jevansen ( talk) 02:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This seems to be a split for players who played pre-professionalism for New South Wales, and then who played Super Rugby for the Waratahs. While the naming probably isn't perfect, I see the split as being suitable to differentiate between those who played the the New South Wales region, and those who played for the team. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 18:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Its still the same team @ Rugbyfan22: because it seems the Waratah's name was adopted in the 1920's. Just because they turned pro, doesn't mean they stopped being the same side. Rugby was not invented in 1995, the lineage is the same and should be maintained. This is essentially a duplicate category. The C of E God Save the King! ( talk) 19:12, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Newspapers published in Western Australia by region

Nominator's rationale: I'm proposing renaming these categories for consistency with the following existing categories:
There are also four other regions (the Gascoyne, Great Southern, Kimberley and Perth metropolitan regions) without categories at present, but I plan to work on articles for as many of Australia's newspapers as I can so I expect these categories to be necessary at some point. The only reason for this nomination is for consistency amongst sub-category names, so I wouldn't be opposed to another naming scheme. This one just makes the most sense to me. Adam Black talk • contributions 16:29, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Note: WikiProject Western Australia notified of this discussion. Adam Black talk • contributions 21:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Update: I have now created the categories for the remaining three Western Australian regions,
Therefore six of the ten subcategories now follow the same naming scheme. I would also like to add another category to this nomination:
The rationale is the same as for the original proposal. Adam Black talk • contributions 07:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Merge all to Category:Newspapers published in Western Australia, apart from Perth there is no reason for diffusion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    There are currently 381 Western Australian newspapers listed on Trove alone. Not all of them have articles, and not all of them will be notable enough for their own articles, but I believe a significant portion will be. You haven't really given a rationale for why these categories should all be merged or why Perth should be a standout, just "there is no reason for diffusion". I think it helps readers navigate what could become quite a large category. Adam Black t • c 12:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • I don't think Perth should be a standout. My point is that only if there would be as much content in every category as in Perth's category it would be worthwhile to diffuse. But that is not the case. The current microcategories are merely a hindrance for easy navigation between related articles. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
      • strong objection to most of this discussions assumptions. As creator of the microcategories in discussion here, they were created in the presumption that the project of the National Library and ALIA to support each state library system to improve content about Australian newspapers state by state to help create content for material in Trove would be something that would be expanded upon regularly. The result in other states is highly variable in quality and organisation - in the Western Australian content there was a library employee who edited on WA content, and there was every hope that there would be followed on editing for more newspapers for each region than is being discussed here. The subsequent lack of followon editing is a case throughout wikipedia, this is not an orphan. I believe how sensible Adam might think he is in wanting to qualify the regional title, or Marco in being a category worker extraordinaire (and that should be noted is much appreciated ), the lack of background always astounds me here at CFD. I think that for the purposes of what the original project had intended, will be made much more of a hell of a mess and difficult to navigate the regional distinctions of western australian geographical range, and how it also affects understanding of the original reasons for the regional separation. As a consequence, I strongly object to reducing to one category, as it interferes with a project that would have increased valid items for each subcategory. As for the renaming - it is paradoxical, in view of many australian places have qualifier state names, whereas here there is no need. JarrahTree 01:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Migrant to the Ottoman Empire people from British India

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: delete. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 03:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: option A: merge, three categories for only one article is not helpful for navigation. Option B:delete, the article is already in Category:Emigrants from British India and Category:Immigrants to the Ottoman Empire which seems to suffice. For a citizen of the Ottoman Empire it is irrelevant which specific Indian ethnicities all of his ancestors had. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
I would support either merge or delete, because these categories are very much not helpful for navigation. Mason ( talk) 03:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This is an institute Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños within Hunter college. This category is too small to be helpful with navigation right now. Mason ( talk) 02:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, the upper-level category of City University of New York faculty is for a system of colleges and institutes, and the articles in it should be diffused into the appropriate subcats for each of the different colleges within the system in the same way as categories are done for other university systems. Ideally, all of the articles in the CUNY faculty cat would be diffused into subcats of the different colleges or institutes. Additionally, from what I understand, the centro is housed at Hunter College, but is a separate institute within the CUNY system. Semper Fi FieldMarine ( talk) 03:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. No objection to diffusion as such, as long as it colleges are big enough to contain lots of articles, but that does not seem to be the case here. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:02, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Parent category splitted. Should them be merged or renamed then? -- MikutoH talk! 22:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Reasons I believe this should be renamed at least: the term is imprecise and isn't widely used, different from "same-sex attraction" or "same-sex marriage". It's also cisnormative. Could it be named same-gender? I'm not sure. -- MikutoH talk! 23:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Though I believe it's grouping non-gender LGBT identities, but it's also separating transgender from LGBT sexual orientations in Category:Works about LGBT topics. -- MikutoH talk! 23:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply

    Question. What is the alternative proposal? I really don't understand what the nominator is hoping to accomplish with the merge/rename without a target or proposal. Mason ( talk) 00:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • I am assuming that the intended merge target is the LGBT parent category, but it would be helpful if User:MikutoH would add this to the nomination explicitly. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
      I meant upmerging (that's still a new word for me). MassCFD didn't provide an option to where I wanted to merge for me. So "Works about LGBT topics" for "Works about same-sex sexuality", or more if needed. -- MikutoH talk! 23:47, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
      plus Added. -- MikutoH talk! 23:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose, the rationale isn't very relevant because Category:Homosexuality still exists. The question is more if we should rename Category:Homosexuality to Category:Same-sex sexuality or, the other way around, whether we should rename Category:Works about same-sex sexuality to Category:Works about homosexuality. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose completely unnecessary, and to be honest somewhat offensive. "Same-sex sexuality" and "LGBT topics" are not synonyms. Homosexuality, bisexuality and being transgender aren't all the same thing. The rationale It's also cisnormative doesn't really apply either, all four terms in the acronym LGBT are cisnormative.

  • Note: in the previous discussion, creator clearly misunderstood what was being proposed. Support at least Category:User nrm to Category:User nrf. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:28, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose deleting "nrf": this is the ONLY correct language code for Norman (some Wikimedia wikis has used "nrm" for Norman, but they are wrong as this code is for a completely unrelated Asian language: Narom; this is wa wellknown historic error made by Wikimedia that forgot to check valid codes in ISO 639 or IANA databases; if it was created today, using "nrm" for Norman would be rejected, "nrf" is assigned since years in ISO 639). "NRM" is already marked has need migration to "NRF" to leave the place for Narom. Wikidata rejects the use of "nrm" for Norman in its data (it is still accepted only in interwiki links to existing Norman Wikipedia, as long as it is not fully renamed).
    The description of the category is perfectly correct: these are NOT at all the same language.
    In the mean time, Narom users should be able to contribute and speak about their language, even if for now they cannot have their own localized wiki, so they have to use some other projects spaces in other localized wikis or international wikis, for example in Wiktionary and Wikidata where their vocabulary is being fed already with "nrm". In HTML/SVG/XML markup the lang attribute used is already "nrf" for Norman. In Wiktionary editions, and in Wikidata, Norman terms are tagged and indexed with "nrf", not ""nrm". Do not confuse legacy Wikimedia interwiki codes (which are bound to Internet subdomain names, without being restricted to use only one language or script, even if there's a default language or script) with standard language codes for identifying any contents. verdy_p ( talk) 17:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply

I'll let Nederlandse Leeuw add a rationale. House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 12:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale (additional nominees): WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. Recent precedents have favoured (up)merging to "Military history of X", unless such a category does not yet exist, in which case they are proposed to be renamed to "Military history of X" instead. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 24#Battles by location in Germany is a closely connected discussion which has already put this into practice.
(PS: Category:Battles by location in France could be Upmerged to Category:Military history of France by location instead of Deleted for logging purposes, but it doesn't make much difference. Category:Battles by location in Germany is proposed to be merged into Category:Military history of Germany by state, but such a category does not exist for France "by region" yet, so it could better be created than trying to recycle Category:Battles by location in France).

Category:New South Wales rugby union team players

Nominator's rationale: The two are covering the same team and should be merged. Especially as New South Wales rugby union team redirects to the Waratahs. The C of E God Save the King! ( talk) 09:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Merge per nomination. This was the same side. Where is the dividing line drawn? If 1995, as I suspect, that is entirely arbitrary, there was Super 10 (rugby union) and Super 6 Rugby which were predecessor competitions run on exactly the same lines as early Super Rugby. All players at the Waratahs now, as pre-95, have a theoretical club side in the Shute Shield they can play for when not selected. Skeene88 ( talk) 08:51, 17 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep: Perhaps there's a better way, but this was an attempt on my part to differentiate between the professional Super Rugby era iteration of the team and the historical side. This would be in the same way rugby league has Category:New South Wales Rugby League State of Origin players as a subcat of Category:New South Wales rugby league team players (though both are captured in the one article). Maybe an option would be to move Category:New South Wales Waratahs players to Category:New South Wales Waratahs (Super Rugby) players? Jevansen ( talk) 02:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This seems to be a split for players who played pre-professionalism for New South Wales, and then who played Super Rugby for the Waratahs. While the naming probably isn't perfect, I see the split as being suitable to differentiate between those who played the the New South Wales region, and those who played for the team. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 18:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Its still the same team @ Rugbyfan22: because it seems the Waratah's name was adopted in the 1920's. Just because they turned pro, doesn't mean they stopped being the same side. Rugby was not invented in 1995, the lineage is the same and should be maintained. This is essentially a duplicate category. The C of E God Save the King! ( talk) 19:12, 14 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Newspapers published in Western Australia by region

Nominator's rationale: I'm proposing renaming these categories for consistency with the following existing categories:
There are also four other regions (the Gascoyne, Great Southern, Kimberley and Perth metropolitan regions) without categories at present, but I plan to work on articles for as many of Australia's newspapers as I can so I expect these categories to be necessary at some point. The only reason for this nomination is for consistency amongst sub-category names, so I wouldn't be opposed to another naming scheme. This one just makes the most sense to me.

Note: WikiProject Western Australia notified of this discussion. Adam Black talk • contributions 21:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Update: I have now created the categories for the remaining three Western Australian regions,

  • Merge all to Category:Newspapers published in Western Australia, apart from Perth there is no reason for diffusion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    There are currently 381 Western Australian newspapers listed on Trove alone. Not all of them have articles, and not all of them will be notable enough for their own articles, but I believe a significant portion will be. You haven't really given a rationale for why these categories should all be merged or why Perth should be a standout, just "there is no reason for diffusion". I think it helps readers navigate what could become quite a large category. Adam Black t • c 12:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • I don't think Perth should be a standout. My point is that only if there would be as much content in every category as in Perth's category it would be worthwhile to diffuse. But that is not the case. The current microcategories are merely a hindrance for easy navigation between related articles. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
      • strong objection to most of this discussions assumptions. As creator of the microcategories in discussion here, they were created in the presumption that the project of the National Library and ALIA to support each state library system to improve content about Australian newspapers state by state to help create content for material in Trove would be something that would be expanded upon regularly. The result in other states is highly variable in quality and organisation - in the Western Australian content there was a library employee who edited on WA content, and there was every hope that there would be followed on editing for more newspapers for each region than is being discussed here. The subsequent lack of followon editing is a case throughout wikipedia, this is not an orphan. I believe how sensible Adam might think he is in wanting to qualify the regional title, or Marco in being a category worker extraordinaire (and that should be noted is much appreciated ), the lack of background always astounds me here at CFD. I think that for the purposes of what the original project had intended, will be made much more of a hell of a mess and difficult to navigate the regional distinctions of western australian geographical range, and how it also affects understanding of the original reasons for the regional separation. As a consequence, I strongly object to reducing to one category, as it interferes with a project that would have increased valid items for each subcategory. As for the renaming - it is paradoxical, in view of many australian places have qualifier state names, whereas here there is no need. JarrahTree 01:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: option A: merge, three categories for only one article is not helpful for navigation. Option B:delete, the article is already in Category:Emigrants from British India and Category:Immigrants to the Ottoman Empire which seems to suffice. For a citizen of the Ottoman Empire it is irrelevant which specific Indian ethnicities all of his ancestors had. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This is an institute Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños within Hunter college. This category is too small to be helpful with navigation right now. Mason ( talk) 02:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, the upper-level category of City University of New York faculty is for a system of colleges and institutes, and the articles in it should be diffused into the appropriate subcats for each of the different colleges within the system in the same way as categories are done for other university systems. Ideally, all of the articles in the CUNY faculty cat would be diffused into subcats of the different colleges or institutes. Additionally, from what I understand, the centro is housed at Hunter College, but is a separate institute within the CUNY system. Semper Fi FieldMarine ( talk) 03:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. No objection to diffusion as such, as long as it colleges are big enough to contain lots of articles, but that does not seem to be the case here. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:02, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
