April 20

Category:GS Consolat players

Nominator's rationale: GS Consolat is the former name of Athlético Marseille. Essentially, all these players in this category should be in Category:Athlético Marseille players. We should just merge this into that. Otherwise, just delete the other category and move this category there (or just delete this one). Anyways, there just needs to be one category called Category:Athlético Marseille players and this one can't exist. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial seafood

Nominator's rationale: merge/rename, ambiguous characteristic, how should we distinguish commercial edible fish from non-commercial edible fish? All edible fish in these categories is traded and sold. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:24, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are some arguments against your proposed categories. Many marine species that are used by humans are neither fished nor caught but farmed, e.g. salmon, algae, oysters. --AlienFood (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose commercially fished sealife is not only about human edible sealife. There's other things that are fished and turned into fertilizer and animal feed and jewelry and other products -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 04:52, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • That doesn't make sense either. There are many human edible sealife that is not fished commercially, even if they are traditionally eaten. They may be not commercially viable due to population size, habitat, being an endangered species and thus illegal, etc. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 16:34, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Reverse merge doesn't make sense as fish and mollusc species might be edible but are not used commercially, e.g. endangered species. --AlienFood (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose most fish/molluscs/crustaceans/echinoderms are edible (i.e., humans can gain calories from eating them without being poisoned). Some of those that are poisonous can be detoxified with appropriate preparation (is fugu an edible fish? People do eat it without dying.) Most species in these groups aren't regularly eaten by humans for a variety of reasons. They may taste bad, be small in size, occur in small numbers, occur in places that aren't easily accessed by humans (e.g. the deep sea), etc. Commercially fished species are the ones that humans eat regularly. Edibility is too broad a criterion to be WP:DEFINING. There is some gray area with "commercial"; commercial could cover a spectrum of species sold in global markets for millions of dollars annually to species that a subsistence fisherman might occasionally sell to their neighbors. However, I think "commercial" is more manageable as a defining characteristic than "edible". I would be inclined to delete the "edible" categories, but included articles shouldn't be simply recategorized as "commercial" without confirming that the recategorization is appropriate. Also, note this previous deletion discussion:Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 December 10#Category:Edible cephalopods. Plantdrew (talk) 02:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Polo clubs

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, all have only one or two articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hollywood, Los Angeles history and culture

Nominator's rationale: split, throughout the category tree we have history and culture separated (with cultural history as the intersection), there is no reason why we wouldn't apply that to Hollywood to. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:39, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Haven't checked the entries in the category but I'm assuming Marcocapelle has. Gonnym (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Split is sensible and proposed word ordering is spot on. —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 19:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Translators en-en

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 - @Pppery: please go ahead amending the templates (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale Nonsense user categories - one cannot meaningfully translate (or proofread a translation) from English to English. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:36, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User en-sa

Nominator's rationale: Don't need two categories for South African English. "En-za" appears to be the correct code. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery per en-au below, wouldn't this be en-ZA? Gonnym (talk) 14:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for the uppercase naming convention below is that is what mw:Extension:Babel forces people to use. Since there's no mw:Extension:Babel population going on here, there's no reason to rename to uppercase, although I have no objection to merging both to Category:User en-ZA instead. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:48, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User en-cñ

Nominator's rationale: Previously deleted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 January 4, then recreated out-of-process one month later. The reasons for the original deletion appear to still be valid. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User en-au

Nominator's rationale: Per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 June 4#Category:User en-ca * Pppery * it has begun... 16:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User smo

Nominator's rationale: Rename to use ISO 639-1 code rather than ISO 639-2 code. Alternately, delete as the category contains only one userbox and no actual users. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:17, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Members of the All-India Yadav Mahasabha

Nominator's rationale: This follows earlier discussions (Category:Nair people CfD and WT:IN - Caste lists vs. Caste cats) where editors reach consensus not to have caste-categorizations. All the articles categorized are unsourced to be a member of the organization except Poornima Krishnappa, thus a blatant violation of WP:BLP and/or WP:OR, where applicable — DaxServer (t · m · c) 15:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Notified WT:IN of the CfD — DaxServer (t · m · c) 15:45, 20 April 2022 (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: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: If this isn't used, it should be deleted. If it is used, it should be moved to a NON-SHOUTING version. Fram (talk) 13:04, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note; we already have Category:Pages with login required references or sources, so I guess the above is redundant and unused. Fram (talk) 15:45, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I created it at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 136#CATEGORY:PAGES WITH LOGIN REQUIRED REFERENCES OR SOURCES because a template combination sometimes added the all caps version and it was an ugly red category on articles. The templates no longer add it so it has nu purpose now. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I probably should have realized looked more closely and realized that this was useless when I added parent categories on December 10. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:17, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Small one-county community with just two entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Na'vi

Nominator's rationale: "navi" is not a valid language code. The collaborative value of a category grouping users who have a basic understanding of a constructed language invented for a film is questionable. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment it would depend on the language community, if it were as active as the Klingon speakers or the Sindarin/Quenya speakers, or Esperanto speakers. It does have the IETF code "art-x-navi" so it would seem there would be some users. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 20:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
