October 13

Category:German abbesses

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:26, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Oppose. I was indifferent. My inclination would be to upmerge Category:German Christian abbesses to Category:German abbesses , but I don't feel strongly about it. However, now that I've looked closer, I've realized that there were several other categories in here. I've reverted the changes where Marco placed Category:10th-century German abbesses, Category:11th-century German abbesses into German Christian abbesses. Mason (talk) 18:34, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • That does not make sense. All German abbesses of these centuries were abbesses of Christian monasteries. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:47, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that you weren't transparent that you moved the categories deeper into the tree. You could have argued that the categories overlap, which is a reasonable argument. However that's not what you nominated here; you said that the category was a redundant. The category is called Category:11th-century German abbesses, not Category:11th-century German Christian abbesses. Mason (talk) 00:53, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Free compilers and interpreters

Nominator's rationale: Category:Compilers and interpreters is basically a hybrid of Category:Compilers and Category:Interpreters (computing). The overwhelming majority of articles only fit in one category, and the few that don't can be in both categories. Category:Free compilers and interpreters should be split into two new categories for the same reason. I also propose adding "open source" to the names of the new categories, since that's what the current category is being used for, and just "free" is vague. Zerbu 💬 13:09, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bantu

Nominator's rationale: Bantu does not have a primary topic so a better title for this category should be used. Maybe Bantu (culture)? Open to suggestions. Gonnym (talk) 13:57, 6 October 2024 (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: speedy rename. – Fayenatic London 12:01, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For consistency with similar categories such as Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Derby. Dave.Dunford (talk) 17:50, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: Thanks. Is it worth me withdrawing and renominating or shall I let it take its course? The guidelines for renaming a Wikipedia category (which I've not done before) are not clear. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:50, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of gangs in Belgium

Convert Category:List of gangs in Belgium to article List of gangs in Belgium
Nominator's rationale: Please advise if this is the wrong way to handle it when discovering a list article that was created in category space. DB1729talk 17:30, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I think this is a perfectly reasonable, and creative use of CFD. Mason (talk) 00:50, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Bring in line with the parent article, City of Albany. Calistemon (talk) 15:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw, just noticed that this was rejected in March 2021 (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 February 11) after previously being proposed by me. Calistemon (talk) 15:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nazi war crimes against children

Nominator's rationale: I suggest removing "war" from the title. I recently wrote Nazi crimes against children and I did not notice the term war crime used often. Some items discussed in my article, like Child euthanasia in Nazi Germany. Now, we could argue that the current category is a subcat of the one I propose, but I am not sure if the sources really support existence of both, and if splitting Nazi war crimes against children from Nazi crimes against children makes much sense. To make things more confusing, category wise, Child euthanasia in Nazi Germany (article), a concept which predates WWII, is a child of the nominated category through the Children in the Holocaust intermedia category. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:59, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, not that I think a name change is necessary, but I'm fine with it if you want to match the article title to it. AHI-3000 (talk) 06:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arrowverse character redirects

Nominator's rationale: Covers the same scope, no need to have two cats. The "redirects to lists" cat is the primary one auto generated by redirect templates and is used more often. There was agreement that both are not needed in this discussion from three years ago, though no movement was made then. Trailblazer101 (talk) 03:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Current justices of the Supreme Court of the United States

Nominator's rationale: Categorizing "current" officials separately is not a useful thing to do, as explained in very extensive previous CfD discussions. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia pages with colour accessibility problems

Nominator's rationale: How is this page different from Category:Wikipedia articles with colour accessibility problems. The template might need to be fixed. {{cleanup colors}} Mason (talk) 01:59, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should merge it the other way instead, since all articles are pages and not all pages are articles. The pages category includes templates. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 02:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either merge and create a separate templates category, or reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    My preference is to merge and create a templates category. @SomeoneDreaming created the new category "pages" without any discussion. (So even if the name stays, we should merge and then rename back to preserve the edit history). A separate templates category would be fine with me. Mason (talk) 21:05, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. I have no concern about which direction the merge happens, but "pages" is the appropriate final name as color issues can happen in articles, templates, categories, files, modules, and perhaps elsewhere. I don't see any advantages to splitting those into separate catagories. Thisisnotatest (talk) 21:37, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Slavery by war

Nominator's rationale: The contents of this category seem to be related to wars about slavery rather than a category that breaks down Slavery by individual wars Mason (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I meant to keep this category separate from Category:Slavery during wars to keep the supercategory more focused on the subject of wartime slavery in general. AHI-3000 (talk) 02:38, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pages with accessibility problems

Nominator's rationale: Redundant to Category:Accessibility issue tracking categories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Accessibility_issue_tracking_categories) SomeoneDreaming (talk) 01:40, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. This should be merged to Category:Accessibility issue tracking categories, otherwise the child category will be isolated. Mason (talk) 01:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Noblewomen in the Holy Roman Empire

Nominator's rationale: This was opposed at speedy. C2C: parent is Nobility of the Holy Roman Empire and the norm is of, instead of from. (I'm equally fine with Noblewomen from the Holy Roman Empire) Mason (talk) 01:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
