March 1

Category:Children of Thutmose II

Category:Children of Nizam al-Mulk

Category:Children of George VI

Nominator's rationale: SMALLCAT ★Trekker (talk) 21:17, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of mammals by continent

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category trees. Need to be merged or subcategorized. —Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 20:53, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

People from Lasithi

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, this concerns categorization by 3rd and 4th level administrative divisions of Greece, leading to a endless series of single-article or 2-article categories. The proposal is to merge to 2nd level administrative division, except cities and larger towns, in this case except Ierapetra (16,000 people), Agios Nikolaos, Crete (13,000 people) and Sitia (10,000 people). This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

People from Lemnos

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, this concerns categorization by 3rd and 4th level administrative divisions of Greece, leading to a endless series of single-article or 2-article categories. The proposal is to merge to island level. This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Lemnos (regional unit)

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, Lemnos (regional unit) contains the island of Lemnos and a number of tiny islands of which only the island of Agios Efstratios is inhabited (270 people). The chance that anyone from Agios Efstratios gets an article is very small, and if it happens we may simply recreate the regional unit category. When merging, the two parent categories of Category:People from Lemnos (regional unit) should be added to Category:People from Lemnos. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Children of Morgan le Fay

Nominator's rationale: Morgan le Fay is a fictional character. Per the same reasoning as why Category:Children of Uther Pendragon was deleted so should this. ★Trekker (talk) 16:07, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Murdered royalty of Macedonia (ancient kingdom)

Nominator's rationale: As per the previous nomination this should be Macedon, not the modern Macedonia. Looks like a bunch of incorrect speedy renames about 5 years ago. Pipsally (talk) 14:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The category matches the main article Macedonia (ancient kingdom). Dimadick (talk) 16:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Executed royalty of Macedonia (ancient kingdom)

Nominator's rationale: The ancient kingdom was Macedon, not Macedonia, which is the modern state in the same area. Pipsally (talk) 14:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The category matches the main article Macedonia (ancient kingdom). Dimadick (talk) 16:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Given the identical timestamp, it looks like just a past error. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Archbishops of Nigeria

Nominator's rationale: There are 14 (Anglican) Archbishops in the Church of Nigeria, one of whom has the title 'Primate of All Nigeria'. The present title is ambiguous and the category is collecting Archbishops who are in Nigeria (but not 'of'). There are also 9 Catholic Archbishops in Nigeria, not to mention Maronite Catholic Eparchy of the Annunciation, with an exarch. (Eg Musa Filibus is an Archbishop of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria.) There have been 4 Primates of All Nigeria so far. Oculi (talk) 13:12, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anglican archbishops by diocese in Ireland

Nominator's rationale: In Protestantism in Ireland, only the Church of Ireland has archbishops. So the adjective "Anglican" is redundant and the denomination " Church of Ireland" more precise. Also they are archdioceses, not dioceses. Follows recent CFD in the Roman Catholic Church for archbishops. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Would support ALT 2 of Category:Church of Ireland archbishops by province in Ireland which could still be a child of Category:Anglican archbishops by province. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename -- Category:Church of Ireland archbishops by diocese. In the Anglican church, each archhbishop has a diocese as well as being head over a province. The Anglican church does not use the term archdiocese. "In Ireland" is also redundant, because ChofI does not operate elsewhere. The see of Armagh always carries the same titles of archbishop and primate. The church of Wales may be different in that Llandaff may not always be the primate. Strictly, before the disestablishment of the the Church of Ireland in the 19th century, Anglican would be correct, but I think we might usefully apply the precedent uses for alumni, where the alumni of a merged or renamed college are deemed to have attended the successor. On this principle, we would not need to split the succession at the point of disestablishment; instead the category would have a headnote to the effect that the category includes Anglican bishops from the Reformation until disestablishment and pre-Reformation Catholic bishops. There is a continuous succession in both cases, save perhaps for a Cromwellian break. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People convicted of speeding

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. Fences&Windows 18:59, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: While it is true that every article in this category mentions a speeding conviction, I think this characteristic is common enough to be essentially trivial. It certainly is not defining for those so categorized. And the same category was deleted before, in 2018. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Saxe-Ernestine House Order

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD, WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT)
When foreign royalty and other important guests visited any of the various Saxon/Ernestine duchies or vice versa, the Saxe-Ernestine House Order was given out as souvenir. Alexander II of Russia, Luitpold of Bavaria, and Abbas II of Egypt are not remotely defined by this award and list it with other honours. Relations between the inter-married royal houses of Europe was likely also a factor.
The award was also automatically given to local members of the fractured ruling family, House of Wettin, who are already somewhere under the equally fractured Category:House of Wettin tree. There wasn't a list so I created a collapsible one at the bottom of the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Order of Francisco de Miranda

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Order of Francisco de Miranda is a Venezuelan award that has been given out to a wide variety of domestic recipients including business leader Martín Marciales Moncada, musician José Antonio Abreu, agricultural engineer Eduardo Mendoza Goiticoa, and sculptor Harry Abend. The foreign recipients have also been diverse and include a Japanese auto executive, a Polish Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a ruling Emir from Qatar, and a visiting Soviet cellist. The one thing these articles all have in common is they generally mention the award only in passing and the there is no common thread here to aid navigation. All the category contents are now listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
