Category:Female British racing drivers

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. Timrollpickering (talk) 09:30, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Female British racing drivers to Category:British racing drivers and Category:Female racing drivers
Propose merging Category:Female English racing drivers to Category:English racing drivers and Category:Female racing drivers
Nominator's rationale: These are the only regional/subregional subcategories of Category:Female racing drivers. I don't believe that the gender+geographical+sport intersection here is defining enough, especially in the absence of an established category tree utilising that intersection, to avoid WP:OC, and thus propose it for double-upmerging. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:08, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Theorems in Galois theory

Category:Theorems in Galois theory - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. There is no reason to diffuse the self-contained Category:Galois theory into a microscopic subcategory. (Part of a massive campaign by Brad7777 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) to totally screw with the existing mathematics categorization.) Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:22, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I have no opinion on the merits of this category, but it was emptied (and removed from all its head categories) out of process. I have left a note for the nominator about this. – Fayenatic L (talk) 15:19, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment To understand Professor Biały's comments, it suffices to consult the discussions of Brad's good-faith recategorizations, e.g. at the WikiProject Mathematics and Brad's talk page. Sadly, Brad's efforts are only several orders of magnitude more informed than the generic floundering at "Categories for Discussion/Deletion".  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 5:47 pm, Today (UTC+2) —Preceding undated comment added 17:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]
  • Proposal: how about renaming it to Galois representations, which is clearly more than Galois theory. -- Taku (talk) 16:12, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Renaming what? Sławomir Biały (talk) 16:15, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Are you proposing creating a category in lattice theory? (Birkhoff has a discussion of Galois correspondences in his monograph.)  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 17:51, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • As far as I can see, looking at the related changes, this category only ever had 4 entries, and the parent has only 32. So I don't think that the parent is too large for browsing, but this one was indeed quite tiny and I don't see a high change of growth in the near future. So I agree with: merge this one to its parent (apaprently already done) and delete this one. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Related changes looks only at the articles currently linked on the page. I'm not sure if it's useful for telling how many entries there have been in a category. (You can test this by removing an article from a category and then looking at that category's related changes – once you remove the page from the category, it disappears from related changes as well). Jafeluv (talk) 19:35, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I looked at the related changes for the parent category, where the articles were moved back to. I noted only four edits on April 15 that restored the original parent category to various pages. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:41, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment delete, the further sub distinction doesn't seem necessary for navigation.--KarlB (talk) 17:43, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: There may only be a few dozen theorems in Galois Theory notable enough for Wikipedia, and even before depopulation not many were listed here. But that's not a valid reason for deletion. CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:29, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. My general feeling is that having categories of the form "Theorems in..." is a mistake, because most of the categorization is based on the title of an article (a syntactic consideration) rather than on the semantics of what the article is actually about. As an example from a different category, Dilworth's theorem is categorized as a theorem, because it has "theorem" in the title, but with very minor changes the same article could instead have been titled Width (order theory) in which case it would not be classified as a theorem. But, this CfD does not do much to resolve the problematic nature of these categories, because it only affects one relatively insignificant category, and as long as we're keeping the rest of these categories I don't see the additional harm in keeping this one. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:59, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Reverse merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 09:25, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Sports in the Marshall Islands to Category:Sport in the Marshall Islands
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Merging two existing categories; unification with the other categories in Category:Sport by country. Gumruch (talk) 19:06, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 09:32, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:History of Albania during Ottoman administration to Category:Ottoman Albania
Nominator's rationale: Merge (or reverse merge) I believe the two categories have the same intended scope. There's no consistency within Category:History of the Ottoman Empire by country so I'm proposing a merge to the oldest and the most populated of the two Albania categories.

Category:Old Westminsters

Propose renaming: Category:Old Westminsters to Category:People educated at Westminster School, London
Nominator's rationale: Rename, to a standardised descriptive format (see WP:NDESC and note below) which combines a plain English phrase with the title of the head article. This clarifies the purpose of the category to the non-specialist reader for whom Wikipedia is written, by eliminating obscurity and ambiguity.
The proposed name follows the "People educated at Foo" convention of Category:People educated by school in the United Kingdom. Since 305 "Old Fooian" categories have been renamed in 82 separate CfDs, this convention is now used by by all but 11 of the ~1,045 people-by-school categories in the UK. It adds a geogrpahical disambiguator to distinguish the London school from the many other similarly-named schools listed at Westminster School (disambiguation).
Westminster School is one of the most prominent public schools in the United Kingdom. However, the term "Old Westminsters" is highly ambiguous. Westminster (disambiguation) list many different meanings, and an "old Westminster" could refer to all sorts of things, such as an old Westminster car or an old Westminster helicopter. The ambiguity is demonstrated by the fact that a Google News search for the singular form "Old Westminster" throws up masses of false positives. As shown by the table below, the plural term "Old Westminsters" is much less widely-used than the the Old Fooian terms for the two most prominent schools, Eton and Harrow.

In previous discussions, some editors have expressed a preference for retaining "Old Fooian" category names for prominent schools. However, there has been a consensus to rename such categories where the "Old Fooian" terms is obscure or ambiguous, including:

Note that in previous discussions of "Old Fooian" categoiries, some editors who appear not to have read WP:NDESC have claimed that the full phrase "People educated at Foo School" must be sourced. This is incorrect: WP:NDESC explicitly says that such titles "are often invented specifically for articles", and that is the case here, where a plain English phrase is combined with the WP:COMMONNAME of the school. (A further paragraph of NDESC refers to the use of non-neutral terms in titles, which does not apply here). However, if editors do want sourcing despite the lack of a requirement for it, then please note that a Google News search for the phrase "Educated at Westminster School" throws up 87 hits, which is more than twice as many as the 37 Gnews hits for the jargon term "Old Westminsters".
Descriptive titles are used in tens of thousands of Wikipedia categories, including the closely-related example of the heavily-populated Category:People by city. The use of demonyms as category names for people from towns and cities is specifically deprecated in the Categorization of people guideline. That issue was settled at CfD back in July 2006 and has been incorporated in the guideline since at least August 2006. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Slovene painters

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. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:06, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Slovene painters to Category:Slovenian painters
Nominator's rationale: Merge.
  • This was an opposed speedy, and raises an issue that could become confusing. The copy of the speedy nomination should be read for full context of the nomination. This particular category is for ethnic Slovene painters; the suggested target is for painters of Slovenian nationality. The merge was opposed on the grounds that we need the distinction because the concept of a Slovenian nationality did not emerge until the 1840s. However, it was countered that in WP categorization, we categorize Dante Alighieri as "Italian" even though there was no Italian nationality at the time, and the same goes for most other nationalities. I agree with this basic approach when it comes to categories, which is a relatively blunt instrument to describe someone's national/ethnic background and group it with others. The difficult subtlties are best dealt with by actual article text, not by categories with extremely fine distinctions.
  • At the time of the speedy nomination, this was an isolated issue, with only one article being categorized as "Slovene", but following the discussion below, the user who opposed the merge created a fairly expansive new structure of "Slovene FOOs" categories, which sometimes involved the emptying out of corresponding "Slovenian FOOs" category. So this is a bit of a test case to get a broader view of what we are going to do with this new Slovene/Slovenian dual categorization scheme. Right now, the parent categories for both are Category:Ethnic Slovene people and Category:Slovenian people.
  • Adding further complication to the issue is the fact that most dictionary definitions of "Slovene" include a definition that is equivalent to the meaning of "Slovenian" on Wikipedia, and in many cases the two different words are simply treated as synonyms. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
copy of speedy discussion
  • Or we should populate the category. Per WP:CAT: "Categorization must be verifiable" and "Categorizations should generally be uncontroversial." So because 'Slovenian painters' (by nationality) is controversial and unsourced, if this category is deleted, only 'Gorizian painters' remains, and this introduces bias, because a main characteristic of the subject is ignored. I also don't see anywhere written that a category must have a minimum number of members (except for being empty). --Eleassar my talk 10:35, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • He could be included in the “Slovenian” category, as many countries are regarded as existing before their unification/creation, with Australia having an article and category for 1788. Many present-day countries were only unified in the 19th century (Canada, Germany, Italy) or 20th century (Australia, South Africa). Hugo999 (talk) 22:54, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • In light of the large issues involved here, I strongly suggest that this decision take place pursuant to a Full CFD discussion that includes the entire category tree. Cgingold (talk) 23:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - not only was there "no Italian nationality at the time" of Alighieri, there was no "nationality" (in the legal sense) full stop. To take another slant, yesterday I was horrified to discover that Wikipedia was describing the Roanoke Colony as a "British colony" (sic) in its Infobox and categories (although thankfully not in the actual article text). Now this was122 years prior to the establishment of the British state, and over 350 years prior to the legal invention of UK citizenship. So, how on earth those poor men, women and children could ever be called "British" colonists is totally beyond my comprehension. Wikipedia is, I'm afraid, jam-packed full of such idiocies. I blame the very early Users who first decided to categorise by nationality alone, and not by citizenship too. Please note that our wiser colleagues at WikiMedia Commons have Category:People of the United Kingdom, cat:People of the United States etc. This is a very intelligent and useful scheme and ought to be adopted here, in addition to our categorisation by nationality. For example, Bermudan people are British, but are currently excluded from all our British biography cats. Now, they ought to be excluded from all our UK biography cats, but never from our British cats. --Mais oui! (talk) 04:48, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The idea of British or American sportspersons as meaning sportspersons from the United Kingdom or United States is preferable to me without having an additional category of (say) sportspersons from the United Kingdom. Many countries have overseas territories or dependencies, with people generally classified seperately eg people from American Samoa. Are you regarding Bermudan people as "British" by descent (which some are probably not) or as people of a former British colony? The Caribbean has many political entities; the Netherlands Antilles is linked to the Netherlands as (several?) overseas territories, but not now Bermuda and the UK. And the idea of "British" people certainly predated the adoption of 20th century citizenship requirements. Roanoke is described (accurately) as an English colony in the article. though the categories include both "Former English colonies" and "Former British colonies". Re Europe, I favour using the terms German and Italian for people who lived before before the 19th century unification of those countries. Hugo999 (talk) 22:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, to avoid duplication of categories and because it is hard to delimit ethnicity from nationhood (per [2][3]). However, the category Ethnic Slovene people should be retained for cases where this is verifiable and "relevant to the topic" (like Franz Caucig or France Prešeren), per Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality. --Eleassar my talk 08:42, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If people did not self-identity as with the Slovenian nation, we should identify then as part of the nationality they did identify with (that would be Austrian in 90% of all cases). In the case of writers the issues will be more complexed, because there the language is the medium.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:38, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and maybe perge. The distinction between ethnic and by nationality Slovenians is not just a process over time. This is especially if we date the issue back to the 1840s. We do not get an independent Slovenia until 1991, and it was only a semi-defined nation from 1918 forward. The idea of the Slovene nation might date to the 1840s, but for all intents and purposes we are dealing with Ethnic Slovenes with Austrian nationality until 1918. From 1918 until 1991 Slovenes have a semi-autonomous state to identify with. Things get more fun because you have many people who are Slovnian by nationality and Italian by ethnicity. The Slovene/slovenian distinction will always be too subtle to be useful. It is also open for a lot of debate in some cases.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:42, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Calling someone a "muse" for an artist or writer is often a subjective call. We've deleted categories very similar to this in the past: Fashion muses; Muses of famous writers, but the discussions have not been heavily participated in. I'm wondering where we should go with this type of category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:10, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
