March 18[edit]

Category:Six Russian strategic weapons unveiled on 2018[edit]

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: upmerge to Category:Post–Cold War weapons of Russia (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:01, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The Six in the title is unnecessary and not found elsewhere, and would need to be changed anyway if the category changed size. Danski454 (talk) 20:45, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:10, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: INS Vikrant is a unique ship and is not part of a class. The class page has now been merged to the ship page. There is no point in keeping a category for a single page. —Gazoth (talk) 13:46, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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: merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:23, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Two categories that describe the same thing. Dotoilage (talk) 13:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support They seem to have the same scope. Dimadick (talk) 10:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just be careful. I agree that there's no real need to retain separate categories, since Greeks won't generally show up in non-Greek mythologies. However, Roman mythology may be an exception; if Troy be considered Greek, the Aeneid may well have mythological Greek characters who don't show up in Greek mythology. Entellus, for example, was a Greek figure who (judging by his article) only appears in Roman mythology; if he were in this category, it wouldn't be good to merge him to "Characters in Greek mythology". When this is closed as "merge", it would be wise for someone to run a search of the contents and mark articles for review if they have the string aene or virgil anywhere, and then to merge those articles only if it can be manually confirmed that they aren't unique to Roman mythology. Nyttend (talk) 20:41, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support but with the word of caution just given. The Aeneid is essentially a work of fiction to provide Rome with a foundation myth epic. Greek myth is properly described as myth. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:05, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Dimadick, I should have been clearer; I meant that non-Greeks won't often be original to non-Greek myths. Borrowing figures from elsewhere is quite different from creating them, and as long as you come from Greek mythology, you can be a character in Greek mythology whether or not you're also a character in another mythology too. (For example, Wade of the Helsingas makes a quick appearance in Tolkien in a passing reference to Eärendil, but that doesn't mean he's not a character from Germanic mythology.) My concern regarding Virgil is of no basis in this particular case; someone ran a search of the contents for those strings, I've manually reviewed them, and all of them were borrowed by Virgil from Greek sources. Nyttend (talk) 20:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Environmental impact of paint. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:05, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The cat creator (a banned editor) clearly just chose the wrong word: all of the articles are about paint, NOT "painting". Anomalous+0 (talk) 09:33, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Too little content. Some individual articles may need to be upmerged but for the most part, they are all categorized correctly already. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 02:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Child sexual abuse in religious groups[edit]

The result of the discussion was: option B. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:21, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Option A:
Option B:
Nominator's rationale: I propose recasting these categories either as broader "X and Y" topic-intersection categories (Option A) or as narrower "sexual abuse scandals" set categories (Option B), with a preference for "scandals" over "cases" to align with Category:Religious scandals and also because "cases" suggests the articles are always about legal cases, which they are not. As for the subcategories, I propose they follow the parent category's naming convention, moving away from the ambiguous Fooian ..., where it is not clear what the word is modifying—e.g. abuse cases related to Christian sex, cases related to sex abuse by Christians, cases related to sex abuse of Christians, etc. (Pinging 2 categories' creator, User:Monochrome Monitor; the other creators are either blocked or inactive) -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:46, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame inductees[edit]

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). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING) and WP:OVERLAPCAT
Today the category only has one article, Bill O'Donnell, but it certainly could be populated to avoid WP:SMALLCAT. Rather, the problem is that Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame is a relatively obscure award for people who have achieved fame more broadly. Generally these articles are already more precisely categorized within the Category:Sportspeople from Nova Scotia tree. I listified the one article plus a bunch of others I found here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:42, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The award categories is one of the few subject trees where I see more categories that hinder navigation than ones that benefit it. Not sure what the appetitite is for such a restriction or how it would technically work. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:22, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
