January 27

[edit]

Category:Book awards

[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: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There's no meaningful distinction between these two categories. While it's technically true that literary awards are not only presented to books, as they can also be presented for short works of literature (a short story, a poem, etc.) instead of books, or for a writer's overall body of work entirely independently of any specific individual work (e.g. a lifetime achievement prize), that's not actually the way these two categories are being used in practice -- lots of awards that are presented specifically for books are being categorized only as literary awards instead of in this subcategory, while this seems to contain only a random and unrepresentative partial selection of awards (presumably the ones the creator personally cared about), very often alongside Category:Literary awards or a national subcategory. Note that upmerging of the contents will need to be approached with caution, as some (but not all) of them are already in other subcategories of the merge target.

Category:2013 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships

[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: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:07, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With only one extant article in each category, there is not enough content at this time to warrant eponymous categories for the 2013 and 2015 events. (Pinging the category's creator, User:FruitMonkey) -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:53, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[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: Rename to Category:Lists of animals of the British Isles. Timrollpickering (Talk) 11:23, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Consistency of category name (e.g. with Category:Lists of birds of Australia). DexDor (talk) 17:14, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed - nom adjusted accordingly. Note: this CFD is a small step in tidying up the mess of UK / GB / BI biota categories. DexDor (talk) 19:08, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's an animals/fauna problem too. Oculi (talk) 19:57, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The animals/fauna inconsistency (I'm not sure I'd call it a problem as we usually/always have just one of those) is much wider - e.g. Category:Marine fauna of Asia vs Category:Prehistoric animals of Asia. There's also inconsistencies in how endemic categories are named. DexDor (talk) 06:42, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Some of those animals might self-identify as Irish. Seriously though, there is a wider problem as some editors persistent in the delusion that the Short-lived Kingdom of Great Britain is synonymous with the island of Great Britain or indeed the UK.

Category:Endemic regions

[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: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category's text says it's "A category for geographical regions which are noted for having endemic species of plant or animal life, or for entries describing the flora or fauna found in such areas." which is subjective. The current contents of the category appear to be almost random (e.g. why Category:Rainforests, but not for example, Category:Islands?, why a UK subcategory, but not New Zealand?, why China, but not Australia?...). Note: There's a list article that should be upmerged - apart from that, afaics, all the subcats/articles will still be well categorized. DexDor (talk) 15:46, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People educated at King's College School, Wimbledon

[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: Rename. Timrollpickering (Talk) 11:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As pointed out at Help desk on 26 January, this category includes people educated at King's College School before it moved from Central London to Wimbledon in 1897: Bhunacat10 (talk), 10:13, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Order of Gabriela Silang

[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: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:15, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT, WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
When the wife of a foreign head of state visits the Philippines, they receive the Order of Gabriela Silang as part of the official welcome. (The First Lady of the Philippines also automatically receives the award.) I don't see how Elena Ceaușescu, Laura Bush, and Imelda Marcos are defined by this cursory award. These articles are already better grouped in categories like Category:First Ladies of Romania and the recipients are already listified here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:17, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gangs in Pittsburgh

[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: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No conceptual problem with the category but there is only one article (Pittsburgh crime family) so it doesn't aid navigation right now and there don't seem to be many notable gangs based in Pittsburgh to allow for future growth. (Disclosure: The national Polish-American organized crime article makes only passing references to Pittsburgh and a number of other cities so I removed it from this category.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:13, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
