Nominator's rationale: Nondefining award for both Ukrainian and foreign recipients. At ukwiki all the articles just list it with other awards. (t · c) buidhe22:02, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to be a state honour usually awarded to Ukrainian citizens for services to Ukraine. Clerarly defining to them. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:44, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:rename as nominated per Category:Ambassadors of the Republic of China, excluding DRC which is correct as it stands. Delete Eswatini, Haiti, St Lucia, & St Vincent and the Grenadines, as these are empty having apparently each contained only a list which is now sufficiently parented. – FayenaticLondon21:35, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. About half the subcategories in Foreign relations say Taiwan, the other half Republic of China, so we should be consistent, one way or the other. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:22, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rename as nom, except DRC per above comment. I'm all in favour of considering Taiwan as completely separate from China in about every aspect, however foreign relations is one of the very few fields where it relates to the outside world under the name of Republic of China. That is certainly the name used in the title of all these ambassadors, rather than e.g. the hypothetical ambassador of Taiwan. As a side note, as a result of the PRC's own one-China policy, these ambassadors are at any time the only ambassador representing China in their host country. Categories for ambassadors of the ROC should therefore be kept as a subcategory of Ambassadors of China to Foo, together with e.g. ambassadors from Ming, Qing or pre-1949 China. Place Clichy (talk) 16:30, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rename all to Taiwan. This is a follow-up to a discussion we had long since, when we decided that anything to do with the post-1949 Republic of China should be called "Taiwan", being the name commonly used for this polity. The use of Republic of China should now be confined to pre-1949 mainland China. Note there is only an overlap between 1945 and 1949, as Taiwan belonged to Japan previously.

"They're not regarded as countries." It depends on what you mean by "country". If you mean sovereign state, then that's true. But if you take the wider meaning as explained in Country, then these dependent territories are countries. This is kind of a separate issue from whether these countries have separate nationalities. Good Ol’factory(talk)03:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"It depends on what you mean by "country"." If you want to include in by country categories anything that falls under the wider definition of the word country including the Basque Country, Lake Country and the German Länder, I think that would severely disrupt the category tree, and it is therefore pretty self-evident how this word should be understood. You sometimes find content in by countryorby nationality relative to places such as Bonaire that are not and have never been a country or dependent territory in their own right in any sense of the word; when I find them I usually move them to the dependent territories or appropriate child category. Place Clichy (talk) 18:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Places like Lake Country is not what I had in mind. I was thinking more of Greenland, for instance. It's a dependent territory, but there are plenty of sources that describe it as a country. I imagine that the same holds for Puerto Rico. I would have no problem with the category system sorting them in by country categories. Good Ol’factory(talk)23:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think its clear that Puerto Rican is not a nationality, - nationality is less ambiguous than country - so I will edit the people categories accordingly. Rathfelder (talk) 07:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The Order of the Nine Gems article is a little confusing because it reads that "The order is bestowed upon the members of the Thai royal family and distinguished high-ranking officials who have given service to the kingdom and who are active Buddhist laypeople" but it also indicates that it is given to Thai citizens. In practice the award fails being defining to a large majority of notable recipients as required by WP:OCAWARD. The recipients are already listified. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:41, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This award is for services to scouting. However, I checked at thwiki and it appears that the vast majority of notable recipients (on that wiki) are not notable for their scouting activities, and this award is just listed with others with no sign of being defining. Of enwiki articles in this category, people like Carl XVI Gustaf, Prem Tinsulanonda, or Sarit Thanarat are not remotely defined by this award. (t · c) buidhe09:16, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but Listify Presumably these are benefactors to Scouting but the relationship (let alone this award) isn't even mentioned in the articles. I'm speculating but perhaps this was also given to local scout leaders and might be defining to them but they're not notable enough to ever get an article creating a Catch-22. (The category contents should be listified though and I can help.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:54, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This award "is conferred to the Queen of Malaysia and newly appointed Malay rulers in his state. Fifteen, out of the total, are conferred on foreign princes, foreign Heads of State and other distinguished individuals." In other words, people receive this award due to their position/office, and should be categorized by that position/office rather than this award. The Honorary category appears to be awarded as a diplomatic souvenir only. Checked several bios and it's listed with other awards. Already listified at the main article. (t · c) buidhe09:08, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but Listify By it's nature, this award reflects being a royal which we already categorize on. This award looks very similar to the ones of the German Empire in that each state has local royalty and these are usually given to local state royalty of Malaysia. (The categor contents should be listifed though and I can help.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:31, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Nondefining Latvian award. According to lvwiki it has indeed been awarded to many Latvians but does not appear to be defining, just being listed with other awards or not mentioned at all (except in categories). (t · c) buidhe04:02, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but Listify Refreshingly, this general purpose award is generally given to domestic recipients. In both English and Latvian Wikipedia though, this award receives a passing mention at best and does not seem defining.

Nominator's rationale: Nondefining Luxembourgish award. Most recipients with enwiki articles received it as a diplomatic souvenir. But it does not appear to be defining for non-royal/Luxembourgish recipients such as Romain Mancinelli, Mstislav Rostropovich, Richard E. NugentorAuguste Laval either. I looked at several articles on lbwiki and saw no indication that this award is defining. (t · c) buidhe03:36, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but Listify Most of the notable recipients in English Wikipedia received it as a diplomatic souvenir, which is clearly against WP:OCAWARD which is looking for it to be defining to a large majority. This does not seem to be an artifact of notable but redlink articles since the category in Luxembourgish Wikipedia only has slightly more articles.

Keep. The current situation seems fine. There are two subcategories for the two types. The category page links to neural network which explains the situation. The category page has the {{diffuse}} template. It seems a normal solution. Charles Matthews (talk) 06:56, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is not a term that's really used by people in either field to describe the superset of all networks involving artificial or biological neurons. There are brains, there are ganglia, there are neural nets and neural circuits, but in practice "neural network" almost always refers to an artificial NN. jp×g02:50, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The two concepts (biological and artificial) are extremely distinct imo. Neural networks in comsci is only loosely inspired by biological networks of neurons and only share the name. I agree a disambiguation page makes more sense. --Revan (talk) 10:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aconcagua is the tallest mountain in South American an many prominent mountain climbers who want to brag about climbing mountains on each continent to complete the Seven Summits will ascend it. The 3 articles (Domi Trastoy Díaz, Sergey Kofanov, and Monique Richard) all list this mountain in passing among other mountains and are already categorized somewhere under Category:Mountain climbers. I don't even think this topic warrants listifying because, according to the main article, "In mountaineering terms, Aconcagua is technically an easy mountain if approached from the north". - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The American National Trust for Historic Preservation is a historic preservation group that lists international hotels they consider to be historically significant on their Historic Hotels Worldwide web site. While some package tours are available, this is not a standard reservation service nor a legal heritage register but more of a third party marketing effort, as described in their website. The closest category I could find was Category:Michelin Guide starred restaurants but the non-US hotels in this category generally don't even mention this endorsement so it's clearly not defining. There is no main article to listify the category contents so I instead copied them right here so no work is lost of another editor wants to create a list article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
