Judaic studies

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: no consensus to change "Judaic" to "Jewish", so defaulting to option B. There was a consensus to remove "academia". Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:27, 27 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Option A
Option B
Nominator's rationale: Rename as Option A following the article Jewish studies, also matching sub-cats e.g. Category:Israel Prize in Jewish studies recipients‎, Category:London School of Jewish Studies‎. The page Judaic studies redirects to Jewish studies, and the page starts Jewish studies (or Judaic studies) is an academic discipline centered on the study of Jews and Judaism. Certainly the words "in academia" are no longer needed, even if Judaic should be preferred for some reason. – Fayenatic L ondon 21:56, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
A completely incorrect argument, because "Jewish" is very different from "Jewish worshippers", see the very first paragraph of Jews. Debresser ( talk) 19:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Jewish is a broader term, encompassing secular as well as religious culture & people, so it would change the meaning & scope in a substantial way. We could, I suppose, have 2 sets of categories, with "Judaic" being a subcat of "Jewish". Cgingold ( talk) 10:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Prefer Option B, "Jewish studies" connotes studies undertaken by Jewish people; cf. Category:Armenian studies, with subcategories like Category:Armenian schools, which are schools that are Armenian but teach math, science, PE, art, French, English, and all manner of non-Armenian things, and Category:Armenian philosophers, who were philosophers who were Armenian not all philosophers who philosophized on "Armenian philosophy" (which includes List of Armenian scientists and philosophers, linked purely by ethnicity and/or nationality, not by what type of science or philosophy engaged in). Since "Jewish" means people of that religion/ethnicity, it is to be disfavored if the category is to be studies about them rather than, coincidently about anything merely, by them.

I was commenting on this proposal only. I didn't say anything about other categories.

Okay, I'm gonna give this one last try. In order to make the name of this category grammatically correct, the word preceding "terminology" should be an adjective. "Judaism" is a noun, so it needs to be converted to the adjective, "Judaic", which of course means "pertaining or relating to Judaism" (just as "Buddhist" means "pertaining or relating to Buddhism"). I am not aware of any other term that could be used. And yet, you are asserting that there is some sort of fundamental distinction between "Judaism" and "Judaic".

The result of the discussion was: rename. Marcocapelle ( talk) 03:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Currently only 4 articles tagged as religious structure stubs for Jordan, and this country does not yet have a general structure category. Propose converting this to a general structure category for Jordan, and adding all appropriate structure templates to the category. I count nearly 40 structure articles without any additional stub tagging. Dawynn ( talk) 12:47, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Support - good find. Without too much digging, I brought the number of stubs which would end up in this category to 57 stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Nothing in the above is a reason not to have a relevant subcategory. Especially since religious buildings must be numerous in Jordan, and this category has potential. Debresser ( talk) 12:17, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom. Potential doesn't mean fulfillment, which is why WPSS procedure is to wait until there are at least 60 articles that qualify for a stub template before creating the category. Once this criterion is met, a stub type can be proposed. Her Pegship ( talk) 17:09, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
If there are already 57, you understand, I hope, that there will be 60 soon enough. So why waste time? Especially since the 60 limit is completely arbitrary. Debresser ( talk) 20:29, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
What we have 57 for is the proposed target. The permcat for the existing stub category only includes 10 articles, many of them not stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 02:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:Post-imperial Latin poets

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: rename for now, since discussed "dispersing" to centuries category was not done. But this can still be done if desired. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:38, 27 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, all articles are from the 15th-18th centuries, cf article New Latin. Note that with this rename child Category:Medieval Latin poets should be purged and, furthermore, the nominated category should be parented to Category:New Latin-language writers instead of Category:Latin-language writers by period. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • comment On some level I have to oppose this in that the division between medieval and post-medieval writers is more significant than the shift in the Latin language. I don't see a post-imperial category but a post-medieval category, under whatever name, is where I think we need to be going on this. Mangoe ( talk) 13:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support New Latin covers the period from the 14th to the 19th century, when it was replaced by Contemporary Latin. This seems to cover the vast majority of the poets in this category. Note that the early modern period only covers the era from the 15th to the 18th century and excludes the 14th and and 19th centuries. Dimadick ( talk) 08:34, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support -- I had my doubts initially. The New Latin article indicates a start with Erasmus and his contemporaries in the early 16th century, when there was a renewed interest of classical Latin. This contrasts with medieval Latin where AE had been replaced by E and the accusative + infinitive construction for "he said that" had been replaced by "dixit quod". Scientific works appears in Latin, because for educated people classical Latin was a lingua franca, and made Latin a suitable medium for their international publication. Medieval Latin should be moved to be a sibling category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:47, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Frankly I think the Latin language categories are getting over specialized. "New Latin" is too specialized as it only includes post-1500 poets.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 15:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I would just go with the centuries. It is difficult to determine the cut off between Late Latin, Medieval Latin, Early Medieval Latin, Renaissance etc. Just going by calendar centuries is much tidier.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 15:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • So if I understand you correctly, you suggest splitting this category by century (starting the 16th century, because century categories up to the 15th already exist) and not using "New" in the category names. I understand the rationale and am neutral between this alternative and the original proposal. But at least something should change here because "post-imperial" is way too broad. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:28, 14 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Actually I've already created cats for each century between the 2nd BC and the 18th, inclusive.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 00:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Let me get done with populating Latin books by century first.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 14:52, 19 May 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Marcocapelle: Actually I just noticed something about your request that goes to the heart of a problem here - you suggested New Latin stretch from the 14th to 19th century - however, currently, wikipedia states that 14th and 15th century Latin is Renaissance Latin. Like the distinctions with other historical languages, there isn't always a clear line.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 16:30, 26 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:OCMISC - Heterodox economics is everything outside mainstream economics. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support This is reallly an "other" category under a different name. RevelationDirect ( talk) 12:33, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • @ Marcocapelle and RevelationDirect: Unsure if this really is just a "miscellaneous" category. The "Heterodox economics" concept is not our WP:OR but is widely recognized, and the category's main article Heterodox economics includes an interesting definition as economics emphasizing the "institutions-history-social structure nexus". We might however reject these attempts at defining the scope of "Heterodox economics" as being too vague. -- PanchoS ( talk) 09:04, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Interesting comment. However, with that second definition we wouldn't be able to include the Austrian School or the Post-Keynesians so if we go that way it would merely lead to unclear inclusion criteria. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:11, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Agreed that this grouping was created by JEL classification codes not Wikipedia. But the intro to the article indicates that this is "an umbrella term used to cover various approaches" including the one you mentioned above. RevelationDirect ( talk) 09:28, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:Jordanian religious building and structure stubs

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: rename. Marcocapelle ( talk) 03:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Currently only 4 articles tagged as religious structure stubs for Jordan, and this country does not yet have a general structure category. Propose converting this to a general structure category for Jordan, and adding all appropriate structure templates to the category. I count nearly 40 structure articles without any additional stub tagging. Dawynn ( talk) 12:47, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Support - good find. Without too much digging, I brought the number of stubs which would end up in this category to 57 stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Nothing in the above is a reason not to have a relevant subcategory. Especially since religious buildings must be numerous in Jordan, and this category has potential. Debresser ( talk) 12:17, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom. Potential doesn't mean fulfillment, which is why WPSS procedure is to wait until there are at least 60 articles that qualify for a stub template before creating the category. Once this criterion is met, a stub type can be proposed. Her Pegship ( talk) 17:09, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
If there are already 57, you understand, I hope, that there will be 60 soon enough. So why waste time? Especially since the 60 limit is completely arbitrary. Debresser ( talk) 20:29, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
What we have 57 for is the proposed target. The permcat for the existing stub category only includes 10 articles, many of them not stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 02:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:33, 13 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Permcat only has 1 article, nowhere near the 60 needed to justify a stub category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:43, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete; content will be put in Category:Indo-European language stubs. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:34, 27 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Its associated permcat, and all subcats excluding Category:Articles containing Baluchi-language text, have a total population of 12 articles (possibly with some dplication) - not anywhere near the 60 required for a stub category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename for now, since discussed "dispersing" to centuries category was not done. But this can still be done if desired. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:38, 27 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, all articles are from the 15th-18th centuries, cf article New Latin. Note that with this rename child Category:Medieval Latin poets should be purged and, furthermore, the nominated category should be parented to Category:New Latin-language writers instead of Category:Latin-language writers by period. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • comment On some level I have to oppose this in that the division between medieval and post-medieval writers is more significant than the shift in the Latin language. I don't see a post-imperial category but a post-medieval category, under whatever name, is where I think we need to be going on this. Mangoe ( talk) 13:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support New Latin covers the period from the 14th to the 19th century, when it was replaced by Contemporary Latin. This seems to cover the vast majority of the poets in this category. Note that the early modern period only covers the era from the 15th to the 18th century and excludes the 14th and and 19th centuries. Dimadick ( talk) 08:34, 4 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support -- I had my doubts initially. The New Latin article indicates a start with Erasmus and his contemporaries in the early 16th century, when there was a renewed interest of classical Latin. This contrasts with medieval Latin where AE had been replaced by E and the accusative + infinitive construction for "he said that" had been replaced by "dixit quod". Scientific works appears in Latin, because for educated people classical Latin was a lingua franca, and made Latin a suitable medium for their international publication. Medieval Latin should be moved to be a sibling category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:47, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Frankly I think the Latin language categories are getting over specialized. "New Latin" is too specialized as it only includes post-1500 poets.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 15:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I would just go with the centuries. It is difficult to determine the cut off between Late Latin, Medieval Latin, Early Medieval Latin, Renaissance etc. Just going by calendar centuries is much tidier.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 15:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • So if I understand you correctly, you suggest splitting this category by century (starting the 16th century, because century categories up to the 15th already exist) and not using "New" in the category names. I understand the rationale and am neutral between this alternative and the original proposal. But at least something should change here because "post-imperial" is way too broad. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:28, 14 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Actually I've already created cats for each century between the 2nd BC and the 18th, inclusive.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 00:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Let me get done with populating Latin books by century first.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 14:52, 19 May 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Marcocapelle: Actually I just noticed something about your request that goes to the heart of a problem here - you suggested New Latin stretch from the 14th to 19th century - however, currently, wikipedia states that 14th and 15th century Latin is Renaissance Latin. Like the distinctions with other historical languages, there isn't always a clear line.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 16:30, 26 May 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:39, 27 May 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:OCMISC - Heterodox economics is everything outside mainstream economics. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Support This is reallly an "other" category under a different name. RevelationDirect ( talk) 12:33, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • @ Marcocapelle and RevelationDirect: Unsure if this really is just a "miscellaneous" category. The "Heterodox economics" concept is not our WP:OR but is widely recognized, and the category's main article Heterodox economics includes an interesting definition as economics emphasizing the "institutions-history-social structure nexus". We might however reject these attempts at defining the scope of "Heterodox economics" as being too vague. -- PanchoS ( talk) 09:04, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Interesting comment. However, with that second definition we wouldn't be able to include the Austrian School or the Post-Keynesians so if we go that way it would merely lead to unclear inclusion criteria. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:11, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Agreed that this grouping was created by JEL classification codes not Wikipedia. But the intro to the article indicates that this is "an umbrella term used to cover various approaches" including the one you mentioned above. RevelationDirect ( talk) 09:28, 7 May 2016 (UTC) reply
