Nominator's rationale: per WP:EGRS. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:37, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
A simple Google search does reveal whether sources exist which discuss the intersection in detail. This is necessary because, per WP:EGRS, "At all times, the bottom line remains can a valid, encyclopedic main article be written for this grouping?" Obviously, there are plenty of sources which discuss this intersection and a valid encyclopedic main article could be written about this topic.-- User:Namiba 03:35, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
So are you not going to make the case for why this intersection for a specific occupation is defining? You seem to be really focused on discussing that sources exist, but not what the sources say that you find convincing. I had read thru several sources before I madesupported the nomination. My impression from the literature was that there was not a defining intersection between occupation + race + gender for law. My impression was that law was like many other professions where being black and female were both disadvantageous. I did not come away with the impression that their were specific disadvantages at the intersection for the occupation itself. It seems that you have come to the conclusion that the intersection of being black, female, and a lawyer is distinct. Can you give specific examples? I am happy to change my mind, but I did not find any that were. Mason ( talk) 02:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Note: There are a number of previous Cfds which have deleted or merged categories by both gender and ethnicity. A few recent ones: this one and this one, and this one. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 14:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Merge per other recent examples, I think EGRS applies here, and both up-merges are valid. SportingFlyer T· C 21:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Merge because of the triple (or quadruple?) intersection. The target categories underline the specificity of these lawyers due to their being African American, and women. Place Clichy ( talk) 14:38, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Note I started Black women in American law given the overwhelming number of sources, which I'd invite you to help improve. Mason, you asked how is this intersection defining and I'd say that the sources PROVE it is defining. The sources show that African-American women face unique circumstances and "dual discrimination" that have been written about repeatedly. This is no different than the other 17 categories at Category:African-American women by occupation. As a reminder, it is a sign of Wikipedia's systemic bias that this category is even being questioned.-- User:Namiba 14:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Again, you still keep saying that the sources prove it, but don't say how or why the intersection for lawyer, african american, and being a woman is notable. No one is disputing that "African-American women face unique circumstances and "dual discrimination"". But those experiences aren't specific to being a lawyer, indeed you note that "This is no different than the other 17 categories". However, what I would need to see and have been asking for is evidence that there are unique occupation specific things at the intersection. Can you give specific law related examples? I am happy to change my mind, but I did not find any lawyer specific examples. I have been asking for specific examples because I would like to have my mind changed. Like if I were to provide examples for a similar profession, such as being a black woman scientist, I would say: women of color are even less likely to receive R01 awards than white women [ https://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/fulltext/2016/08000/gender,_race_ethnicity,_and_national_institutes_of.23.aspx], and scientists of color are less likely to receive grant funding than white scientists [ https://elifesciences.org/articles/83071]. This is a occupation specific example. Mason ( talk) 20:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
You continue to ignore the most essential principle of WP:EGRS, which I've stated over and over again. But to be more direct: Black women were denied the right to practice law in most place well past several and have faced immense legal and social pressure to not practice law ever since. Can a head article be written about the subject? Well, I've started one that has half a dozen sources so perhaps you can address that?-- User:Namiba 22:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Again, I don't understand why you were so unwilling to answer the question when I asked it. I understand that EGRS says that the intersection" itself [is] recognized as a defining topic that has already been established in sources as academically or culturally significant in its own right." I was not ignoring it. My reading of EGRS is that it requires more than just sources exist. It is that the topic is established in sources as being academically or culturally significant. I was effectively asking you to explain HOW it has been established, because I hadn't found works that discussed the mechanisms in law specifically. Mason ( talk) 00:36, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Anyway, I appreciate you being direct. I think that this conversation could have been much less drawn out, as your answer was helpful. Mason ( talk) 00:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

tennis coaches by state
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCLOCATION and previous Cfd. Many of these people happenned to coach one season of college tennis (in which case, they should be in Category:College tennis coaches in the United States or one of its subcats). I purged a lot of people who weren't coaches as well and some are not from the state they are sorted into. Additionally, there are not enough notable coaches to justify spliting by state. From WP:OCLOCATION: "Location may also be used as a way to diffuse a large category into subcategories, for example, Category:American writers by state." Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Marcocapelle, @ Smasongarrison, courtesy ping since you were part of the previous Cfd.. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 10:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep it is widely understood that the location from which one is from impacts their notability. That is why by state or territory is widely used across Wikipedia. There is no reason to believe that the same is not true for coaches. Indeed, coaches are sorted by location in virtually all other sports as well. Lastly, you say that the categories are too small to be justified but 10/10 have 5 or more articles in them, which is the accepted the standard for size. Moreover, since you insisted on deleting American tennis people by state, this would also remove them from any connection to tennis in their particular location. Lastly, the parent, Category:American tennis coaches, has 148 articles which have not been sorted by state or territory yet and this will increase the number of articles in each category.-- User:Namiba 14:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Not every single sport played in the United States needs to have a "Coaches by state" category. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 20:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
If you believe that tennis coaches shouldn't be sorted by state despite their being more than enough articles to do so, you should make that case.-- User:Namiba 20:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I just don't see the need for dividing tennis coaches into "state" categories when there are very few notable coaches. And by notable coaches I mean the ones who made their career AS coaches (whether college - who have their own categories as noted above - or professional), not those who were better known as players and then went on have a brief but forgetable coaching career after their playing career ended. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 21:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
There are approximately 200 articles in Category:American tennis coaches. Whether you think their career as a coach was forgettable or not is not relevant here.-- User:Namiba 03:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
And those are too few to warrent splitting the category by states. Again, coaches of every sport played in the United States don't need such categories. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 10:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
What does "too few" mean here? There are 10 categories with 5 or more articles in them already and more will be created. How do you decide what is "too few"?-- User:Namiba 12:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I've given my reasons: that these are against WP:OCLOCATION because, IMO, there aren't enough coaches to divide by state and I don't know how likely it is that a notable tennis coach comes out of Conneticut or one of the smaller states in the near future. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 16:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Why do you hold these categories to a different standard than all of the other categories? You're trying to delete some categories with over 20 articles because they're too small. 5 is the accepted standard for size. Category:Tennis coaches from California has 30 articles in it. Category:Tennis coaches from Florida has 23. Why are these too small? There is no need to create categories for states which do not yet have a sufficient number of articles like Connecticut.-- User:Namiba 16:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Only two have over twenty. Except for Illinois which has 13, the rest have less than ten. I should also point out a few articles appear in multiple states.
As for why I hold these tennis categories differently (and why I objected to them being created in the first place) to, say, baseball: baseball has different types of coaches - first base, third base, pitching, hitting, bench, bullpen (and more) - and there are many pro teams in a lot of cities, which means there are a LOT of non-player coaches. Far more than tennis which has only one type of coach. And that coach's notability depends on the success of the player they are coaching OR if they were players once themselves. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 19:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I'm won't argue with you further on this. I've made my case. I get where you are coming from but I don't see a PRESSING need for dividing coaches by states. The parent category isn't overflowing. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 19:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and purge—I checked and agree that a lot of the tennis coach articles are not defined by it, as noted above. ( t · c) buidhe 00:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
There are currently 46 articles in Category:Tennis coaches from California. You don't think there are 5 people defined by coaching? Being a coach after having a professional career is always defining. It is an extension of their success in the field.-- User:Namiba 15:10, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
It isn't defining. And I honestly don't understand why you keep on adding people who had incredibly brief coaching careers (in some cases they would not even been considered proper tennis coaches) and are clearly better known for other things. I'm sorry but this is an odd thing to become so defensive over. There just aren't enough tennis coaches - like ACTUAL tennis coaches - to fill like even half the U.S. states. Not everything needs to be divided by states. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 16:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Unless you believe we should delete Category:Tennis coaches and its subcategories as non-defining, then being a professional or collegiate tennis coach IS a defining characteristic.-- User:Namiba 16:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think tennis coaches in non-defining. It is the intersection between state and tennis coaches. As far as I can see, it is only done when the nationality-only category is too big. It is not in this case. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 08:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
The point is whether the coaching career defines the person itself to justify adding them to Category:American tennis coaches. Are they notable tennis coaches AT ALL? Are they known for being tennis coaches? If not, then they shouldn't be there. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 08:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Frankly, your view of "defining" is incorrect. And it is not fair to say or imply even that "if these categories are non-defining then none of them should exist" because that is not the point here. "Foo by state" are used in cases where diffusion is desperately needed.
And before you say so, college coaches are well diffused by colleges and universities already. They are not defined by states but by the institutions they are working in. Hence why they weren't in Category:American tennis coaches before which is for tennis coaches who train professional players. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Buidhe, I would be in favor of purging college tennis coaches. They are, like faculty and other sports coaches, defined by the insitution and not the state they are from. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think you have enough information to say that being a tennis coach isn't defining for a significant number of these articles. I just looked at the first 25 articles in Category:Tennis coaches from California and found that coaching is a prominent part of the article in 20 of the articles. Some of them are primarily known as coaches. There are 46 articles in the category.-- User:Namiba 19:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This nomination doesn't make sense - it seeks to extrapolate a precedent that was primarily based on size to cases where it doesn't apply. If some people aren't defined by their role as coaches, then purge them, and Namiba seems to imply there still is no reason to merge. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Pppery, its more that I don't see why tennis coaches have to divided by states. Like I understand "Foo by state" categories exist in cases where the parent category is/would be too big and HAS to be diffused but that isn't the case here. And there would be even fewer articles if you did purge those whose careers aren't defined by coaching in tennis or who had very brief post-playing careers as coaches. Hope I've cleared it up.

  • Keep valid part of a larger sub-categorisation scheme. SportingFlyer T· C 21:34, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ SportingFlyer, I don't agree. Not every occupation needs to be sorted in "Foo by state" category. They should be done if the parent category is too big and needs diffusion ( WP:OCLOCATION). It is not very big in this case since very few tennis coaches reach notability.
    We should purge all the "coaches" who are better known as players - the norm in other sports categories is that ex-players-turned-coaches are not categorized in "Coaches by state" categories (if those exist for that sport) since they are already in "Players by state" categories - and the college coaches since they are defined by the instititon they coach in and not by the state they are from - that is also the norm in other sports. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 23:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I don't mind if there's a re-organisation of who is in what category but I still do think this is a valid category since the parent category would otherwise be too large. SportingFlyer T· C 09:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
If the proposal goes through, there will be more than 250 articles in Category:American tennis coaches so I don't see how anyone can argue that category doesn't need to be diffused. Diffusing by location is the standard and preferred method of doing so.-- User:Namiba 17:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I guess we differ on what is a considered a large category. I think 250 articles is a small enough to easily navigate compared to if it was like around 1000 articles. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 21:29, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Strongly oppose To reject my initial proposal was a very ignorant and unreasonable decision. I can understand removing Category:LGBT people by nationality and sexual orientation and Category:LGBT people by nationality and gender identity as there were not enough subcategories to fill the pages. Category:LGBT people by nationality and identity was a merge between the two original pages. Also Category American LGBT people by identity leaves categories such as Category:American gay men all in one place instead of leaving them scattered all over Category:American LGBT people and vice versa. Giovanni 0331 ( talk) 18:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    You can't "strongly oppose" something which should not exist since it was voted against by numerous previous Cfds. Under the rules, these are eligible for speedy deletion (in this case merging) under WP:G4. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 19:23, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    The time to argue the merits was in the previous CfDs, but just to note, they won't be scattered. They will be directly in Category:American LGBT people, grouped under a sort key. They will be much more visible and accessible to readers than if hidden under an unnecessary intervening category layer.-- Trystan ( talk) 19:27, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Calling the outcome a "very ignorant and unreasonable decision" is extremely problematic. As I mentioned on your talk page, I am a queer woman. I mention this here because I think that my identity is relevant in this conversation. I am not ignorant about the relationship between sexual orientation and gender identity, and in fact, I opposed your merging/rename because I had problems with the naming you had proposed.

Nominator's rationale: per WP:EGRS. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:37, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
A simple Google search does reveal whether sources exist which discuss the intersection in detail. This is necessary because, per WP:EGRS, "At all times, the bottom line remains can a valid, encyclopedic main article be written for this grouping?" Obviously, there are plenty of sources which discuss this intersection and a valid encyclopedic main article could be written about this topic.-- User:Namiba 03:35, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
So are you not going to make the case for why this intersection for a specific occupation is defining? You seem to be really focused on discussing that sources exist, but not what the sources say that you find convincing. I had read thru several sources before I madesupported the nomination. My impression from the literature was that there was not a defining intersection between occupation + race + gender for law. My impression was that law was like many other professions where being black and female were both disadvantageous. I did not come away with the impression that their were specific disadvantages at the intersection for the occupation itself. It seems that you have come to the conclusion that the intersection of being black, female, and a lawyer is distinct. Can you give specific examples? I am happy to change my mind, but I did not find any that were. Mason ( talk) 02:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Merge per other recent examples, I think EGRS applies here, and both up-merges are valid. SportingFlyer T· C 21:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Merge because of the triple (or quadruple?) intersection. The target categories underline the specificity of these lawyers due to their being African American, and women. Place Clichy ( talk) 14:38, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Note I started Black women in American law given the overwhelming number of sources, which I'd invite you to help improve. Mason, you asked how is this intersection defining and I'd say that the sources PROVE it is defining. The sources show that African-American women face unique circumstances and "dual discrimination" that have been written about repeatedly. This is no different than the other 17 categories at Category:African-American women by occupation. As a reminder, it is a sign of Wikipedia's systemic bias that this category is even being questioned.-- User:Namiba 14:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Again, you still keep saying that the sources prove it, but don't say how or why the intersection for lawyer, african american, and being a woman is notable. No one is disputing that "African-American women face unique circumstances and "dual discrimination"". But those experiences aren't specific to being a lawyer, indeed you note that "This is no different than the other 17 categories". However, what I would need to see and have been asking for is evidence that there are unique occupation specific things at the intersection. Can you give specific law related examples? I am happy to change my mind, but I did not find any lawyer specific examples. I have been asking for specific examples because I would like to have my mind changed. Like if I were to provide examples for a similar profession, such as being a black woman scientist, I would say: women of color are even less likely to receive R01 awards than white women [ https://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/fulltext/2016/08000/gender,_race_ethnicity,_and_national_institutes_of.23.aspx], and scientists of color are less likely to receive grant funding than white scientists [ https://elifesciences.org/articles/83071]. This is a occupation specific example. Mason ( talk) 20:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
You continue to ignore the most essential principle of WP:EGRS, which I've stated over and over again. But to be more direct: Black women were denied the right to practice law in most place well past several and have faced immense legal and social pressure to not practice law ever since. Can a head article be written about the subject? Well, I've started one that has half a dozen sources so perhaps you can address that?-- User:Namiba 22:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Again, I don't understand why you were so unwilling to answer the question when I asked it. I understand that EGRS says that the intersection" itself [is] recognized as a defining topic that has already been established in sources as academically or culturally significant in its own right." I was not ignoring it. My reading of EGRS is that it requires more than just sources exist. It is that the topic is established in sources as being academically or culturally significant. I was effectively asking you to explain HOW it has been established, because I hadn't found works that discussed the mechanisms in law specifically. Mason ( talk) 00:36, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

tennis coaches by state
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCLOCATION and previous Cfd. Many of these people happenned to coach one season of college tennis (in which case, they should be in Category:College tennis coaches in the United States or one of its subcats). I purged a lot of people who weren't coaches as well and some are not from the state they are sorted into. Additionally, there are not enough notable coaches to justify spliting by state. From WP:OCLOCATION: "Location may also be used as a way to diffuse a large category into subcategories, for example, Category:American writers by state." Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Marcocapelle, @ Smasongarrison, courtesy ping since you were part of the previous Cfd.. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 10:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep it is widely understood that the location from which one is from impacts their notability. That is why by state or territory is widely used across Wikipedia. There is no reason to believe that the same is not true for coaches. Indeed, coaches are sorted by location in virtually all other sports as well. Lastly, you say that the categories are too small to be justified but 10/10 have 5 or more articles in them, which is the accepted the standard for size. Moreover, since you insisted on deleting American tennis people by state, this would also remove them from any connection to tennis in their particular location. Lastly, the parent, Category:American tennis coaches, has 148 articles which have not been sorted by state or territory yet and this will increase the number of articles in each category.-- User:Namiba 14:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Not every single sport played in the United States needs to have a "Coaches by state" category. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 20:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
If you believe that tennis coaches shouldn't be sorted by state despite their being more than enough articles to do so, you should make that case.-- User:Namiba 20:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I just don't see the need for dividing tennis coaches into "state" categories when there are very few notable coaches. And by notable coaches I mean the ones who made their career AS coaches (whether college - who have their own categories as noted above - or professional), not those who were better known as players and then went on have a brief but forgetable coaching career after their playing career ended. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 21:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
There are approximately 200 articles in Category:American tennis coaches. Whether you think their career as a coach was forgettable or not is not relevant here.-- User:Namiba 03:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
And those are too few to warrent splitting the category by states. Again, coaches of every sport played in the United States don't need such categories. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 10:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
What does "too few" mean here? There are 10 categories with 5 or more articles in them already and more will be created. How do you decide what is "too few"?-- User:Namiba 12:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I've given my reasons: that these are against WP:OCLOCATION because, IMO, there aren't enough coaches to divide by state and I don't know how likely it is that a notable tennis coach comes out of Conneticut or one of the smaller states in the near future. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 16:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Why do you hold these categories to a different standard than all of the other categories? You're trying to delete some categories with over 20 articles because they're too small. 5 is the accepted standard for size. Category:Tennis coaches from California has 30 articles in it. Category:Tennis coaches from Florida has 23. Why are these too small? There is no need to create categories for states which do not yet have a sufficient number of articles like Connecticut.-- User:Namiba 16:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Only two have over twenty. Except for Illinois which has 13, the rest have less than ten. I should also point out a few articles appear in multiple states.
As for why I hold these tennis categories differently (and why I objected to them being created in the first place) to, say, baseball: baseball has different types of coaches - first base, third base, pitching, hitting, bench, bullpen (and more) - and there are many pro teams in a lot of cities, which means there are a LOT of non-player coaches. Far more than tennis which has only one type of coach. And that coach's notability depends on the success of the player they are coaching OR if they were players once themselves. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 19:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I'm won't argue with you further on this. I've made my case. I get where you are coming from but I don't see a PRESSING need for dividing coaches by states. The parent category isn't overflowing. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 19:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and purge—I checked and agree that a lot of the tennis coach articles are not defined by it, as noted above. ( t · c) buidhe 00:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
There are currently 46 articles in Category:Tennis coaches from California. You don't think there are 5 people defined by coaching? Being a coach after having a professional career is always defining. It is an extension of their success in the field.-- User:Namiba 15:10, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
It isn't defining. And I honestly don't understand why you keep on adding people who had incredibly brief coaching careers (in some cases they would not even been considered proper tennis coaches) and are clearly better known for other things. I'm sorry but this is an odd thing to become so defensive over. There just aren't enough tennis coaches - like ACTUAL tennis coaches - to fill like even half the U.S. states. Not everything needs to be divided by states. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 16:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Unless you believe we should delete Category:Tennis coaches and its subcategories as non-defining, then being a professional or collegiate tennis coach IS a defining characteristic.-- User:Namiba 16:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think tennis coaches in non-defining. It is the intersection between state and tennis coaches. As far as I can see, it is only done when the nationality-only category is too big. It is not in this case. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 08:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
The point is whether the coaching career defines the person itself to justify adding them to Category:American tennis coaches. Are they notable tennis coaches AT ALL? Are they known for being tennis coaches? If not, then they shouldn't be there. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 08:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Frankly, your view of "defining" is incorrect. And it is not fair to say or imply even that "if these categories are non-defining then none of them should exist" because that is not the point here. "Foo by state" are used in cases where diffusion is desperately needed.
And before you say so, college coaches are well diffused by colleges and universities already. They are not defined by states but by the institutions they are working in. Hence why they weren't in Category:American tennis coaches before which is for tennis coaches who train professional players. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Buidhe, I would be in favor of purging college tennis coaches. They are, like faculty and other sports coaches, defined by the insitution and not the state they are from. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 09:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think you have enough information to say that being a tennis coach isn't defining for a significant number of these articles. I just looked at the first 25 articles in Category:Tennis coaches from California and found that coaching is a prominent part of the article in 20 of the articles. Some of them are primarily known as coaches. There are 46 articles in the category.-- User:Namiba 19:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This nomination doesn't make sense - it seeks to extrapolate a precedent that was primarily based on size to cases where it doesn't apply. If some people aren't defined by their role as coaches, then purge them, and Namiba seems to imply there still is no reason to merge. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Pppery, its more that I don't see why tennis coaches have to divided by states. Like I understand "Foo by state" categories exist in cases where the parent category is/would be too big and HAS to be diffused but that isn't the case here. And there would be even fewer articles if you did purge those whose careers aren't defined by coaching in tennis or who had very brief post-playing careers as coaches. Hope I've cleared it up.

  • Keep valid part of a larger sub-categorisation scheme. SportingFlyer T· C 21:34, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ SportingFlyer, I don't agree. Not every occupation needs to be sorted in "Foo by state" category. They should be done if the parent category is too big and needs diffusion ( WP:OCLOCATION). It is not very big in this case since very few tennis coaches reach notability.
    We should purge all the "coaches" who are better known as players - the norm in other sports categories is that ex-players-turned-coaches are not categorized in "Coaches by state" categories (if those exist for that sport) since they are already in "Players by state" categories - and the college coaches since they are defined by the instititon they coach in and not by the state they are from - that is also the norm in other sports. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 23:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I don't mind if there's a re-organisation of who is in what category but I still do think this is a valid category since the parent category would otherwise be too large. SportingFlyer T· C 09:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
If the proposal goes through, there will be more than 250 articles in Category:American tennis coaches so I don't see how anyone can argue that category doesn't need to be diffused. Diffusing by location is the standard and preferred method of doing so.-- User:Namiba 17:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I guess we differ on what is a considered a large category. I think 250 articles is a small enough to easily navigate compared to if it was like around 1000 articles. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 21:29, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

That format seemed to be based on a CFD Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_January_20#Category:19th-century_in_photography. I'm fine with either format as long as both categories have it.
