November 16

[edit]

Category:1890s French film stubs

[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:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 November 29. -- Black Falcon (talk) 00:18, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. There are simply not enough articles to meet the threshold for this stub category. Given that Category:Pre-1900 film stubs and Category:Silent French film stubs are both underpopulated, this category should be deleted, and the contents upmerged to the other two categories.

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:08, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Laboratory high schools in Canada --> Category:Laboratory schools in Canada

Category:Laboratory high schools in the United States --> Category:Laboratory schools in the United States

Probably be a C2D, but filing a CfD just in case. Main article is Laboratory school, and the practice is not restricted to high schools. Paul_012 (talk) 20:34, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Also propose merging

As per previous CFDs[1] and this one[2] and this one in particular[3] dealing with other Tennis players by prefecture, we don't subcategorize per what type of athlete a person is. ...William 17:27, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete/merge as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:05, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT and moreover these are unusual category names that do not fit in any established categorisation scheme. The nominated categories together overlap with Category:States of the Holy Roman Empire, the third category overlaps with the merge target. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:07, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Names are general, vague and do not fit within a wider tree. This makes them less useful for categorisation. Stand-alone variations should have a specificity to the subject, which is not the case here. SFB 23:12, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:00, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Anachronistic categorisation. The Prince-Bishoprics were (at that time) part of Livonia and the respective bishops are already classified in Category:Prince-Bishops in Livonia. Marcocapelle (talk) 01:12, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:00, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. The category is for Bishops of Liège, however Liège was (at the time of the Prince-Bishops) not part of Belgium. Liège was part of the Holy Roman Empire and its bishops category has already been classified in Category:Roman Catholic Prince-Bishops of the Holy Roman Empire.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Currently empty category, my best guess is that the category was meant for Prince-Bishops of Salzburg, however Salzburg was (at the time of the Prince-Bishops) not part of Austria. It could be a speedy delete but I'm nominating it here just in case. Marcocapelle (talk) 01:12, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
