Dear
Qwerfjkl, I get your point. Maybe we can find a better naming for the category to avoid the subjective aspect of the category ("associated with")? The idea is to make a category compiling the biographies of artists that have been invited to visit CERN (in many cases within a framework of an artist-in-residence programme )to be inspired by physics to develop their art further. The laboratory have had different kind of programmes over the years. The first artist who was invited came as early as in 1972 (
James Lee Byars). I am not including artists that "simply" feature CERN aspects of particle physics. However, I appreciate that a 100% clear definition can be difficult to work out. Still I believe the category can be of general interest as arts and physics is intriguing.
Certainly not 100% definable, but still possible to document through published articles. Wikipedia hold many other categories that are far less
Wikipedia:NONDEFINING, i.e.
Category:Underground publishers I cannot really see how to scientifically define ...
Indeed a fair argument,
Qwerfjkl. The category could have limited to arts@CERN-artists <
https://arts.cern> (which is 100% definable), but that would in my view be too restrictive as the laboratory also invites artists outside of the framework. The point is that it is quite an interesting group of artists that have sought inspiration in physics—and CERN is promoting this—and I believe it is worth while featuring it. The category in discussion helps doing so.

Henryk Józef Nowacki,
Julio Murat,

Pope Adrian IV is not categorised per country, but should be.

@
Marcocapelle Fair enough, I overlooked that. But that would mean that we would need to purge all items which are about geography and not ethnicity, such as
Category:Buddhism in Kalmykia, because these Buddhists in Kalmykia aren't necessarily ethnic Kalmyks (
Buddhism in Kalmykia has a few statements about
Buryat buddhists in Kalmykia, for example). Parent
Category:Culture of Kalmykia might not be appropriate either, because ethnic Kalmyks also live outside Kalmykia, so Kalmykia cannot define ethnic Kalmyk culture by itself. The same goes for Udmurt culture nominated above. Similarly problematic would parent
Category:Culture of Russia by ethnicity then become, as it implies that however the culture of each ethnicity exists / is experienced inside Russia is
WP:DEFINING, and all ethnic Fooians outside the Russian Federation apparently cannot contribute to, or do not even belong to, the ethnic Fooian culture. Restricting an ethnic culture to a territory when demographics are always dynamic seems a bad idea in the first place and probably an

Category:Culture by ethnicity tree should not be limited by geography. Nobody is in a position to claim all members of an "ethnic" group (however one may define it) live in the same geographic area, and always will (
WP:CRYSTAL). Especially in our modern era of high mobility for individual human beings migrating across the planet, and constant demographic shifts, it would be inappropriate to put an ethnic culture in a geographic box.

Completely agree that one of the two category layers is redundant. I would rather upmerge Murdered journalists though (and keep Assassinated journalists) because Murdered journalists contains murders for trivial reasons i.e. unrelated to their profession as a journalist. If there is no consensus for upmerging Murdered journalists then upmerging Assassinated journalists as nominated would be my second best choice.

Dislike "Murdered" (at least as a generalized category name): The word "murder" has a specific meaning. A state, police or military action to kill someone (especially by an autocratic or dictatorial state) would ordinarily not be called "murder". "Killed" is more neutral. "Assassination" is often not accurate and has undesirable connotations (e.g. that the person killed is a prominent political figure and that the killer is typically not). —

Keep It's really not as simple as that these brave writers have been killed because of what they wrote not because of who they are. Their assassinations were as a result of their work, which created the notoriety which led them to be murdered.
No Swan So Fine (

Comment: As far as I understand previous consensus, being killed as a result of one's work is a defining characteristic, while being incidentally killed for unrelated reasons is a trivial cross-categorization. It was agreed sometime ago that the former group should be termed Assassinated jobbers, while Murdered jobbers categories should not exist. However, I agree that assassinated doesn't quite fit the intended scope, as it conveys that it's limited to targeted killings of prominent people, while journalists may otherwise die due to job-related reasons in other manners, such as being in a conflict zone. And still, the assumption that the two can be clearly separated is an oversimplification of reality, as there are plenty of cases where journalists are killed for unrelated or unknown reasons but the case then generates public reaction that is directly tied to their work as a journalist. --

Dear
Qwerfjkl, I get your point. Maybe we can find a better naming for the category to avoid the subjective aspect of the category ("associated with")? The idea is to make a category compiling the biographies of artists that have been invited to visit CERN (in many cases within a framework of an artist-in-residence programme )to be inspired by physics to develop their art further. The laboratory have had different kind of programmes over the years. The first artist who was invited came as early as in 1972 (
James Lee Byars). I am not including artists that "simply" feature CERN aspects of particle physics. However, I appreciate that a 100% clear definition can be difficult to work out. Still I believe the category can be of general interest as arts and physics is intriguing.
Certainly not 100% definable, but still possible to document through published articles. Wikipedia hold many other categories that are far less
Wikipedia:NONDEFINING, i.e.
Category:Underground publishers I cannot really see how to scientifically define ...
Indeed a fair argument,
Qwerfjkl. The category could have limited to arts@CERN-artists <
https://arts.cern> (which is 100% definable), but that would in my view be too restrictive as the laboratory also invites artists outside of the framework. The point is that it is quite an interesting group of artists that have sought inspiration in physics—and CERN is promoting this—and I believe it is worth while featuring it. The category in discussion helps doing so.

Nominator's rationale:WP:OR. Although a
Nordic Bishops' Conference (Conferentia Episcopals Scandiæ) exists, there is no single position called "apostolic nuncio to Scandinavia".
James Green (bishop) and
Pope Adrian IV were just simultaneously nuncio to several "Scandinavian/Nordic" countries, but each received their appointments to each country separately and not under a single title. The same goes for
Henryk Józef Nowacki,
Julio Murat,
Emil Paul Tscherrig etc., who are all categorised per country and not per "Scandinavia". Only
Pope Adrian IV is not categorised per country, but should be.

@
Marcocapelle Fair enough, I overlooked that. But that would mean that we would need to purge all items which are about geography and not ethnicity, such as
Category:Buddhism in Kalmykia, because these Buddhists in Kalmykia aren't necessarily ethnic Kalmyks (
Buddhism in Kalmykia has a few statements about
Buryat buddhists in Kalmykia, for example). Parent
Category:Culture of Kalmykia might not be appropriate either, because ethnic Kalmyks also live outside Kalmykia, so Kalmykia cannot define ethnic Kalmyk culture by itself. The same goes for Udmurt culture nominated above. Similarly problematic would parent
Category:Culture of Russia by ethnicity then become, as it implies that however the culture of each ethnicity exists / is experienced inside Russia is
WP:DEFINING, and all ethnic Fooians outside the Russian Federation apparently cannot contribute to, or do not even belong to, the ethnic Fooian culture. Restricting an ethnic culture to a territory when demographics are always dynamic seems a bad idea in the first place and probably an
WP:ARBITRARYCAT. Thoughts?

@
Marcocapelle Agreed. Then maybe I should Withdraw the Kalmyk and Udmurt culture CfMs, and instead nominate
Category:Culture of Russia by ethnicity for Deletion as an
WP:ARBITRARYCATWP:CROSSCAT? It might set quite a disruptive precedent, but if we want to be accurate, then anything in the
Category:Culture by ethnicity tree should not be limited by geography. Nobody is in a position to claim all members of an "ethnic" group (however one may define it) live in the same geographic area, and always will (
WP:CRYSTAL). Especially in our modern era of high mobility for individual human beings migrating across the planet, and constant demographic shifts, it would be inappropriate to put an ethnic culture in a geographic box.

Completely agree that one of the two category layers is redundant. I would rather upmerge Murdered journalists though (and keep Assassinated journalists) because Murdered journalists contains murders for trivial reasons i.e. unrelated to their profession as a journalist. If there is no consensus for upmerging Murdered journalists then upmerging Assassinated journalists as nominated would be my second best choice.

Dislike "Murdered" (at least as a generalized category name): The word "murder" has a specific meaning. A state, police or military action to kill someone (especially by an autocratic or dictatorial state) would ordinarily not be called "murder". "Killed" is more neutral. "Assassination" is often not accurate and has undesirable connotations (e.g. that the person killed is a prominent political figure and that the killer is typically not). —
BarrelProof (

Keep It's really not as simple as that these brave writers have been killed because of what they wrote not because of who they are. Their assassinations were as a result of their work, which created the notoriety which led them to be murdered.
No Swan So Fine (
talk) 22:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Comment: As far as I understand previous consensus, being killed as a result of one's work is a defining characteristic, while being incidentally killed for unrelated reasons is a trivial cross-categorization. It was agreed sometime ago that the former group should be termed Assassinated jobbers, while Murdered jobbers categories should not exist. However, I agree that assassinated doesn't quite fit the intended scope, as it conveys that it's limited to targeted killings of prominent people, while journalists may otherwise die due to job-related reasons in other manners, such as being in a conflict zone. And still, the assumption that the two can be clearly separated is an oversimplification of reality, as there are plenty of cases where journalists are killed for unrelated or unknown reasons but the case then generates public reaction that is directly tied to their work as a journalist. --
