You are doing some good work in addressing articles that fall short of the mark in the American football realm. And I thank you for that. That said, I offer a piece of advice: We all (myself included) need to avoid over-personalizing deletion/merger discussions. It's hard to do at times, especially when we feel we are being attacked or that our efforts/opinions are not being respected/valued. When that happens, it's important to take a breath and think about what's really best for the encyclopedia (and not about winning or losing).

== Marquee Broadcasting ==


</div>
Why have you proposed deleting Marquee Broadcasting? The company is a small broadcaster but it does own several major network affiliates around the country. Sure, it does not have the size of Nexstar or Sinclair, but why do you believe it should be deleted? There is plenty of sourced material in the article. In addition, why not nominate [[Sunbeam Television]] if you do not believe information about small broadcasters should be available on a Wikipedia page?

== College coaches categorized by every college thry coached at ==

I think this heads towards performer by performance territory. There are many coaches in half a dozen or more such categories, some in over 10. Some were at some of these locations only 1 year. I am wondering if we should limit these categories to head coaches of a sport. I am also wondering if in some sports, like college football, if thd type of non-head coach they are might be defining enough to categorize by. Categories are supposed to be defining. I am a past culprit of institution tagging people for minor connections. I am thinking with coaches the categories should be limited to hrlead coaches of a sport.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 01:13, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

:To test my theory more I started on the category Michigan Wolverines football coaches. The first person in the category [[Jahmile Addae]] was a graduate assistant at UofM. Is where someone was a graduate assistant defining? If it is, should they be lumped in with coaches, although not doing so would lead to more category clutter. Looking at his career it looks like Addae would more properly fit in "Gridiron football college defensive coaches in the United States" or however we want to word the category, paired with an "Gridiron football college offensive coaches in the United States" and any other coach type categories we have, and then we could remame the main categories to be "Gridiron football college head coaches in the United States" which we would subdivide by institution if they were of a size that such a subcat was justified.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 01:22, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

== American military sports coaches ==

This is an interesting category. It has 62 sib-cats. Literaaly 31 are 1 article ones. That might amazingly be thd least of its problems. The bigger problem is many articles say nothing about the military time at all in the text. These categories are mainly also put in thd college football coacjes tree. Why? I havd no idea. Other than most of the men here were also college football coaches. However [[Bob Friedlund]] is illustrative. He was a military base football coach in 1943, a college player in 1946, played pro a few years and then was an assistant coach at 3 or 4 colleges. The article says nothing of his military time in the main text.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 05:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

== Alaska Nanooks ==

I just noticed we have Alaska Nanooks rifle coaches. With 1 article. The whole tree of college rifle coaches in the United States is categories with 3 or fewer articles.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

:It has 6 total categories. I believe because 2 coaches coached at more than 1 location we have only 7 total articles. So we have 7 categories between the parent and the subcats to facilitate navigation of 6 articles.

== College field hockey coaches in the United States ==

College field hockey coaches in the United States has 25 sub-cats, and 1 direct article. Only 1 sub-cat has 5 articles. Everything else is less.

:if I counted correctly the Category has only 23 articles and 2 redirects. So we have a 26 category structure to support that many articles. This seems excessive.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

== Small football categories plus overcategorization ==

I have been trying to see if there was a solution to the fact that we have lots of college football coaches in 5 plus, and a few in 10 plus, coaching categories, plus lots of thd coaches categories having under 5 articles. It looks like my temporary solutions have not for the most part been accepted. However the Military football coaches in the United States (are these college coaches at all? They coaches teams on military bases. Most of them for short times while in the military), been separated off seems to be holding for now. At present that Category is all under 5 subcats. I am less than sure a 1 year stint coaching a military base football team is even defining to the people involved. In at least one case it is not even mentioned at all in the article text. The fact that the lead of college football coaches in the United States has lead to breaking all college coaches out into by team categories has some odd results. College rifle coaches in the United States is a structure with more categories than total articles.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

== College football coaches of defunct teams in the United States ==

This seems to be a way to organize teams. At least it has not been objected to yet. I just introduced this layer in the Category, but the teans were categorized as defunct before. Do you think that if we do not have a specific category fir the team a coach coached, he would be placed directly in College football coaches of defunct teams in the United States. Or is this a cade where it is worth organizing subcats, but not defining to the individual, and such a coach should be placed directly in College football coaches in the United States?[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:55, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

== Coaches by state ==

I noticed we organize high school sport coaches in the United States, at least in some sports, by state. Do you think this would be a useful way to organize college sport coaches? I have to admit I am conflicted about this. High school coaches are much more likely to stay in the same state, although most of our high school coach articles are on college coaches who had short times at the high school level, or notable players who later coaches high school. We have very few articles for whom the high school part of their coaching career is defining. A few others are politicians who were teachers and high school coaches earlier in their career. High school coaches will often coach multiple places in the same state. While some college coaches do do, they are more likely to criss cross the country.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:04, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

:College men's soccer coaches in the United States has 67 direct articles. It has at least 129 sub-cats with 4 or less articles. I am not sure what upmerging would do to the parent size. I am also wo during if someone who coached 3 or more sports at the same college really needs to be in the coaching cats for all those sports. I am not sure much about what the effects of the by state categories would be. Do you have any preliminary thoughts?[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
:: John Pack Lambert, we have high school football and basketball coaches broken down by the state in which they coached high school. The rationale here is that it would not be necessary to break them down by individual high school team like we break down college coaches by individual college team. Rolling up by state gives us manageable populations of articles in the categories. Note that we also have American football and basketball coaches by state (by origin of the coach). For example, see [[Lou Saban]]. His origin is Illinois, hence he is included in [[:Category:Coaches of American football from Illinois]], and he coached high school in South Carolina and Florida, hence he is included in [[:Category:High school football coaches in Florida]], and [[:Category:High school football coaches in South Carolina]]. I think it's unnecessary to break down American football and basketball coaches by state (by origin) categories into college subcats or to create new categories for college football and basketball coaches by state of employment.

:::The current system is leading to lots of small categories. Categories in general should not exist with less than 5 articles. There are lots of college football and basketball coaches categories with less than 5 articles. It also leads to excessive overcategoruzation which would be reduced in it was by state and not by school. However, for the time being I was thinking if applying this to college track and field coaches. That Category has over 200 direct articles, about 60 1 article sub-cats and only 3 sub-cats with 10 or more articles.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 19:04, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

:::::Small categories are a problem because they hinder navigation and make finding things a problem. The general consensus is that categories should not exist when they have less than 5 articles. Categories are to aide navigation and do not serve that purpose if they are too small. I would argue American college track and field coaches in the United States, with over 250 direct articles and with about 60 1 article sub-cays is not a well developed tree, but is a poorly diffused tree that serves to hinder not aid navigation.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 19:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
::::There are in the neighborhood of 4000 colleges in the US. There are also many past colleges that no longer exist. I am thinking some sports would be better organized at the state level.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 19:11, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
::::: I don't think ease of navigation hinges as much on the total number of categories, as it does not the way those categories are structured and the parallelism between neighboring branches of a tree.

::what would be inconsistent. We already accept coaches by state at the high school level. We would leave in place the college specific categories when they are large enough. We would also only do this for structures that have enough to justify state breakout. That means at least 250 articles. We would only break out stakes that will have at least 5 articles. It might lead to some people in multiple categories, but no worse then if categorized by team. I think it is doable.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 02:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
::: JPL, what you're doing with the college track coaches is inconsistent with how we break down college coaches for other sports. Individual college sports programs are generally notable in a way that high school sports programs are not. Hence, colleges are broken down by program/school and high schools by state.

:::: Most college track and field programs we do not have enough articles on to justify having a serpate category for coaches.

== Maritime Privateers football coaches ==

I have to admit I think the closing of this discussion was wrong. Those arguing to keep the Category seemed to largely rely on the deprecated small cat rule and ignore the narrow cat rule. I have investigated the situation more. All 3 people in the Category are also categorized in other college coach categories. So we can just merge them to Maritime Privateers coaches. This only has 5 articles. The other 2 are baseball coaches. One can be upmerged to Maritime Privateers coaches and College baseball coaches in the US, which currently has direct biographical articles, and y he other is in another by team coached Category, so he can then be upmerged to Martime Privateers coaches alone. This will leave Maritime Privateers coaches with 5 articles, which is the minimum reasonable size fit a Category. I think this would be an improvement, and it would not directly place anyone in college football coaches in the United States.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 03:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:48, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from List of University of North Carolina at Charlotte student organizations, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. However, that exercise will be unnecessary: Indeed there are plenty of sources available to confirm this list, and as Wikipedia remains a "work in progress" I suggest you might focus on that simple search and improvement process, rather than a quest to delete for the sake of deleting. I note you have encountered resistance to unwarranted deletions previously. We are certainly not out of space, and this article, once completed, will be a helpful addition. Thanks.
