Support rename, if this category is needed. If it wasn't part of a by-nation tree then deletion would be an option, though - given that musical instruments and genres rarely keep to national borders - that whole tree is a bit of a mystery. Grutness...wha?03:37, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (am nominator): Delete actually didn't occur to me since I know nothing about instrument categories. I would support deleting, I just feel that if it exists it needs to use the right demonym. - Astrophobe (talk) 05:40, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Whatever the correct demonym, this category should not exist because the accordion (the only item) has little obvious connection with San Marino. This is a city state enclaved within Italy. There is no reason to believe that its culture differs the country around it. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:52, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the interest of crystal clear consensus/precedent I just want to reinforce that the correct demonym is unambiguously "Sammarinese" - Astrophobe (talk) 18:58, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Restore the pre-2017 capitalization. This category refers the title of a book (Italian Folktales), so should be capitalized. Alternatively, capitalize and add a disambiguation phrase, e.g. (Italo Calvino) or (1956). pburka (talk) 20:06, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose: As someone who is active in creating articles on the history of universities in the United States, there is certainly potential for growth, albeit relatively slow growth. I see that the Texas category, which is the one I'm (currently) active within, has not been nominated for merging. I think that it is too large to consider for merging, but I also don't like the idea of just dumping the smaller categories together and treating them differently than the larger categories like California and Texas. However, I don't feel extremely convicted about this stand, so I'm going to give this a "weak oppose". Michael Barera (talk) 17:47, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How does having dozens of very small categories aid navigation, which is what categories are design to do. They're not to encourage growth of any particular article.--User:Namiba03:33, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If i was curious about only the history of colleges in a particular state I would find it quite helpful in navigation. You misunderstand, I find categories like this helpful when choosing what article to create next, not in expanding any particular article. Grey Wanderer (talk) 20:12, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the most important part to take away is that I think they are useful in navigation to users other than myself . In addition, If I happen to find something personally useful on Wikipedia I’m gonna stick up for it, under the philosophy that others probably also find it useful for the same reasons. Grey Wanderer (talk) 20:56, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Keep it consistent. If these are deleted, they're likely to be re-added anyway as editors will notice the "missing" categories and create them. pburka (talk) 23:39, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame inductees[edit]

The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame and the Meikyukai are rival (and largely overlapping) Japanese baseball halls of fame that seem to have similar prominence. Many of the articles in here are are very short and could use some editor attention but, of the longer ones, both halls of fame are normally mentioned in passing with other accomplishments. (A number of articles have that whole paragraph in the intro though.) Like most halls of fame, this one recognizes accomplishments much earlier in their careers for which the players are already categorized, so it doesn't seem defining. For any reader interested in the topic, the winners are already listified in here in the main article, which could also use some editor attention. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:08, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The World Curling Federation is based in Scotland and is actually quite prominent as the world governing body for curling. Their WCF Hall of Fame is more obscure though and was established in 2012, although they automatically added some earlier winners of a different award. Like most halls of fame, it reflects rather than amplifies their fame so it doesn't seem defining and all of these people are in more specific curling categories to aid navigation. The articles are pretty evenly balanced between those that mention the award in passing, those that don't mention it at all, and those with it in the lede, but that last category was largely due to a single enthusiastic editor over two days. The contents of the category are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:08, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
