Delete although it is not per

Category:Lucky Ali albums is a perfectly valid category with clear inclusion criteria and should certainly not be upmerged.

talk page or in a

Nominator's rationale:Rename, to distinguish from leaders of congregations or denominations ("churches"). Note that there is a
Category:Christian parachurch organizations. A small number of church leaders may need to be purged from the category if the renaming is approved, and I am willing to do that. –

Question Is "parachurch" a word others have encountered before? As an American English speaker, I've heard para-military, para-professional but not para-church.
RevelationDirect (

"parachurch" is in common use in NZ and Australian English. I've also come across the term in writings and podcasts from American seminaries.
Beeswaxcandle (

Oppose "Parachurch" is a new one on me too. Are we trying to say "inter-denominational" or "non-denominational" organizations? If so, let's use a word used throughout the English-speaking world as these don't seem to be limited to Down Under.
Carlossuarez46 (

Parachurch organisations work alongside the Church without taking over any of its ecclesial functions. Examples are
YWAM,
Scripture Union and
Wycliffe Bible Translators. They're neither "inter-denominational" nor "non-denominational" because denominational issues are not within their purview.
Beeswaxcandle (

For me the word is new too, but hey I'm not a native English speaker. I do understand the intention of the word. Question though, aren't all Christian organisations - apart from churches - to be characterized as parachurch organizations? If that is the case, the word parachurch would be redundant.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 02:32, 25 October 2014 (UTC)reply
No, not all Christian organisations are parachurch. For example, the
Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is an organisation within the RC church, rather than working along side it.

Neutral I like the word and think it is nice and precise to avoid vagueness. I'm not sure if it is widely enough known to be useful in a category name. That doesn't mean I'm opposed, I'm really not sure.

Keep -- This is an attempt to try to put everything into neat compartments. They may be inter-denominational, non-denominational, or denominational. If denominational, they may need to go into a denominational sub-cat. Parachurch is perhaps an accurate term, but not one that I regularly come across in UK, though I know what it means. — Preceding

Comment: See the article
Parachurch organization for a view of the meaning. In my experience the term is widely used in the UK, but the meaning is not much to do with denominations either way; rather, it means organisations run by Christians for mission or public service, but distinct from churches (local churches or denominations). I thought Catholic lay societies would be included within its meaning. Anyway, as for this category, either it means leaders of parachurch organisations, or it is not distinguished from Christian religious leaders and should be merged there. –
FayenaticLondon 21:23, 31 October 2014 (UTC)reply
Merging into Christian religious leaders doesn't sound as a good idea, after we just decided to containerize this category. I think there's two good possibilities: either pursue the proposed rename or leave the category as is.

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: None of the articles in this category (e.g.
Shadow zone or
Bradyseism) are about terminology (i.e. linguistics). This appears to also be categorizing some things (e.g.
Rayleigh wave and
Infrasound) by the fact that the terms are used in seismology, not because those topics fall (completely) within the topic of seismology (it might be best to purge the category of such articles before merge).

Nominator's rationale: The typical way to split out this information is to place it in the "national sports team" categories. The included competitions (Olympics, Paralympics, athletics) are all selected on a national basis. The wording of the categories suggest a national team basis anyway, rather than individuals from that country competing on their own basis (as, say, one would at the
Boston Marathon etc). I propose all "X at sports competitions" categories be merged to the national team ones.
