August 6[edit]

Category:MusicBrainz clients[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) SSTflyer 08:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:MusicBrainz clients into Category:Online music database clients

Nominator's rationale: upmerge to parent category per WP:NONDEF, it's a defining characteristic for only 2 of the 6 articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:15, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Upmerge One is made by MusicBrainz, one is licensed by them, and the rest just use MusicBrainz for some features. That's not a viable category, but no objection to reviewing later if the article count grows for directly related clients. RevelationDirect (talk) 17:22, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:MusicBrainz[edit]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:07, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:MusicBrainz (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT. Add its parent categories to the eponymous article. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:08, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I added 2 more articles for a total of 3 plus an admin subcategory. RevelationDirect (talk) 17:31, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. SMALLCAT is headed "Small with no potential for growth" (my emphasis). Note: I've removed the administration category (we normally keep administration categories, many of which contain talk pages etc, out of categories for encyclopedia content).

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Medical wikis into Category:Medical websites and Category:Wikis

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Support none of the 3 articles have enough categories to make adding another one problematic, and having 3 articles in the category is not very useful.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:25, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Water privatisation in South Africa into Category:Privatisation in South Africa and to Category:Water privatization by country

Category:Crimean Tatar folk singers[edit]

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:13, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Crimean Tatar folk singers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT. No upmerge needed, the one article is already in the folk singers tree and (multiple times) in the Crimean Tatar people tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:09, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete one article categories are rarely justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:25, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Asteroids named as an award[edit]

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 August 31#Category:Asteroids named as an award

35 Grand Masters categories given to monarchs[edit]

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Cameroon

• Propose Deleting Category:Grand Masters of the Order of Merit (Cameroon)
• Propose Deleting Category:Grand Masters of the Order of Valour

• Monaco

• Propose Deleting Category:Grand Masters of the Order of Grimaldi
• Propose Deleting Category:Grand Masters of the Order of Cultural Merit (Monaco)

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)

Normally I avoid these large international nominations because my friends over at the medals WikiProject like to make sure that the local context is considered. But these awards all have 2 things in common:

• 1: They are automatically given to the ruling monarch.
• 2: They are given to no one else.

All of these people are already in the appropriate monarch category for their country which what defines them and largely overlaps with these categories. "Grand Master" categories with different criteria are not included in this nomination. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I notified Mimich as the primary category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Orders, decorations, and medals. – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Background We deleted similar automatic "Grand Master" categories with the Netherlands, Malaysia, Austria and Mexico here, here, here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. DexDor ^(talk) 06:29, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all these categories represent overcategorization that goes against the guildelines for definingness for award categories. A monarch is defined as such, not by the titles he or she receives automatically as being a monarch nor by the international good will attempted to be created by giving out titles of honor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:22, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
