Category:Films set in 5th-century Byzantine Empire

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:12, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, these are single-article isolated categories, not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (Oppose merging). I cannot see why this cross-categorisation is not helpful. For instance when you look at Category:Works set in the Roman Empire it gives you a very clear vision of the way the fictions are distributed in time. Without this cross-categorisation, it wouldn't. -Mushy Yank. 22:25, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I'm still not convinced that it is sufficiently populated to warrant diffusion to country+century level. I'll also note that Category:Television series set in 5th-century Byzantine Empire is the only item in Category:Television series set in the Byzantine Empire, which will be deleted under the nom's proposal. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:31, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The only ”item” that would be deleted is a defining, verifiable and neutral category, very helpful, like all the rest ot the concerned categories. Erasing that category and the present ones does not strike me as bringing any benefit to the reader. For information, also indicating you had closed this as Merge yourself (when there was only 1 !vote -my K) before reverting yourself and voting. See this p. Hist, and your TP. -Mushy Yank. 21:17, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per LP03. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:55, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Define "sufficiently populated” (and check real numbers, please). -Mushy Yank. 10:27, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Beanpot Tournament Winners

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:28, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Winning this tournament is a non-defining characteristic of a hockey player. As per WP:OCAWARD it is overcategorization. Here is the relevant informal discussion suggesting its deletion. Flibirigit (talk) 18:23, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If this is the consensus, than I won't fight it. I guess I let my boston bias get the best of me. BuckeyeBruin (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. There is agreement that MOS:JOBTITLES applies. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:29, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "United States Attorney" is a position that should be rendered in lowercase when it's plural, per MOS:JOBTITLES. Woko Sapien (talk) 18:19, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: this would align these categories with the similar Category:Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. As well as pages such as:
  1. List of United States attorneys appointed by Donald Trump
  2. List of United States attorneys appointed by Joe Biden
  3. List of United States attorneys for Wisconsin
  4. List of United States attorneys for the Eastern District of Arkansas
  5. List of United States attorneys for the Southern District of Florida. Woko Sapien (talk) 20:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Per MOS:JOBTITLES... It's clearly plural and should be lowercase.

Category:Wikipedians who own aquariums containing all of the fish they have been slapped with

Nominator's rationale: A category without any meaning, Tatuí had only one professional team and should be allocated with the other defunct teams in the state of São Paulo. Svartner (talk) 06:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Paranormal and Category:Supernatural. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:34, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, paranormal is too specific for some Fortean phenomenon, and does not always apply to subjects such as cryptozoology, and UFOolgy. 50.86.27.105 (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all contents of this category with either Category:Paranormal, Category:Supernatural, or any of their respective subcategories. AHI-3000 (talk) 03:08, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I don't see Upcoming films for any other country apart from Philippines (which has only one entry). Upcoming films by language seems just enough. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:32, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:35, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duel upmerge. There's not need to intersect populated place by occupation and sex. If not dual merged, it should be made a non-diffusing category SMasonGarrison 03:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Category:Hmong chefs can be created, but I won't do that myself because there is only one article here. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:36, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category that might not meet the EGRS bar SMasonGarrison 00:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, this category was created pursuing the uptick in literature about Hmong cuisine and those who notably make it (e.g. Hmong cuisine#Notable figures, whose careers and biographies are defined by their ethnicity and ethnic cuisine WP:EGRS/I: "For example, when intersecting with occupation, people should only be so categorized if this has significant bearing on their career.") - and specifically in preparation for edit-a-thons focused on Hmong biographies (see upcoming Wikipedia:Meetup/Minnesota/April 2025 Minnesota User Group Meeting#Events). It's expected to have more entries within this year. Pingnova (talk) 00:47, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend starting with Category:Hmong chefs rather than with something at the interseciton of ethnicity+ nationality+ occupation. SMasonGarrison 03:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's agreeable to me. Pingnova (talk) 06:51, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hmong American people from Minneapolis–Saint Paul

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 Category:Hmong American sportspeople from Minneapolis–Saint Paul and Category:Hmong American politicians from Minneapolis–Saint Paul to Category:Hmong American people from Minneapolis–Saint Paul. This has at least some support from all participants, making it the clear consensus option. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:12, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:EGRS non-defining intersection of ethnicity, nationality, occupation, and populated place. SMasonGarrison 00:26, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:EGRS/I: "the bottom line remains can a valid, encyclopedic main article be written for this grouping?" Hmong people in Minneapolis-St. Paul is a significantly documented topic in reliable literature since the 1980s. There exists a Wikipedia page on it: History of the Hmong in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. (Additionally to navigate this topic I created a navbox: Template:Hmong topics in Minnesota.) The Minneapolis-St. Paul metro is one of the two core groupings of Hmong diaspora outside Asia. Additionally their identity as Hmong Americans, the combination of ethnicity and nationality, is significant and explored in a lot of literature, some of the more significant available as references on the wiki page. The politicians especially in the metro are notable as a group because that is where Hmong people first gained political prominence worldwide and continue to see a lot of success. If there's any specific concern about the adherence of these categories to EGRS, please let me know so I can track down sources. These topic intersections are well documented but have little coverage on Wikipedia, which I have been trying to remedy such as with the upcoming edit-a-thon mentioned in my last comment.

Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. This category only has one person in it, and I suspect that there's not enough people to populate it. (I tried) SMasonGarrison 00:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
