• Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians interested in conlanging or conworldingtoCategory:Wikipedians interested in worldbuilding

Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the name of the article worldbuilding, where conworlding redirects. Per the lead of that article, This may include [...] invented languages for the world, so conlanging is already included and does not need to be restated. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:56, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. wikt:conworld and wikt:conlang are not necessarily related. There are plenty of Constructed languages that have nothing to do with Worldbuilding. It looks like it's populated by User:Sahmeditor/Conlanging or Conworlding interest, which also combines those 2 topics.

Nominator's rationale: delete and merge. Not enough content on a yearly basis for this category. Do not need to merge to YYYY crimes in Spain every year since the articles are often categorized under YYYY murders in Spain. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:20, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge and restore redirecttoCategory:Eastern Orthodox Christians. – Fayenatic London 07:44, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Nominator's rationale: The Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches are both called "Orthodox". :However, their name does not mean that they are two church which practice each a different form of a common Christianity (Christian denomination) which would be "Orthodoxy". They are not like the Reformed Church in America and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Ukraine which are two different churches practicing Reformed Christianity. Both Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches use the term "Orthodox" because they claim to be the "church of truth" (orthodox means "on the right path", "on the right doctrine"), but there is not a single current from which they split, rather they both are different currents.

Therefore, this category does not reflect a real categorisation but the commonality of a word, and thus this category should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 14:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• UpmergetoCategory:Christians by denomination. These are denominations that have significantly different theological understandings from each other and merely share the name "orthodox", which means "upright teaching", just as Catholic means universal. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Restore redirecttoCategory:Eastern Orthodox Christians, as was the case before this edit on 3 May. In common parlance, the Orthodox are what Wikipedia calls the Eastern Orthodox. The redirect is therefore useful. The Oriental Orthodox (Copts, Armenian etc.) are a completely different thing, like the Jewish Orthodox or the orthodox Marxists. Place Clichy (talk) 01:29, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Then I'd rather turn it into a disambiguation page. I can't see why we would link to Eastern Orthodox but not to Oriental Orthodox (while I do see they are completely different). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  A disambiguation page would not be appropriate. Dab pages are for terms that are ambiguous, which is not the case here. Oriental Orthodox Christians are never called Orthodox Christians in a stand-alone fashion, only (Eastern) Orthodox are. Place Clichy (talk) 00:47, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming The below 724 701 categories, from "Fooian international footballers" to "Fooian men's international footballers".

Nominator's rationale: The subcategories of Category:Association football players by men's national team should be aligned to use "men's" per the outcome of this RfC from 2022, where it was decided to separate the footballer category tree by players of men's and women's football. Previously, the category tree only had women as subcategories, for example Category:English women's footballers was a subcategory of Category:English footballers, and Category:Germany women's international footballers was a subcategory of Category:Germany international footballers. The men's/women's footballer category trees will now operate independently, which should therefore be reflected in the naming of these categories. Also note that the categories describe players by which country they are representing in international football, so therefore whether or not "men's" is used in the title of the national team article is not relevant (otherwise these categories would be titled "Foo national football team players"). S.A. Julio (talk) 15:35, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. S.A. Julio (talk) 15:35, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Why can't "Lists of country international footballers" be unisex? Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:55, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Pelmeen10: I suppose it could, but then it wouldn't really make sense to be within the men's/women's national team category trees if it contains players from both teams. S.A. Julio (talk) 17:08, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  They currently are subcats of "Lists of country sportspeople" (unisex). I'm not seeing a category such as "Lists of country footballers", so maybe even better option to rename? Example Category:Association football in Spain lists direct subcat is "Lists of Spain international footballers‎". Pelmeen10 (talk) 17:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  IsCategory:Lists of association football players by nationality unisex? Pelmeen10 (talk) 17:30, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Pelmeen10: Yes, those categories are unisex. Maybe the category tree could be changed to "Lists of Fooian footballers" or "Lists of footballers in Foo", I'm mostly indifferent on the matter. Though note that some categories such as Category:Lists of England international footballers are quite useful, as there are eight different lists that would otherwise have to be placed in Category:England international footballers. S.A. Julio (talk) 21:07, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The alternative proposal on that RFC was just to make the categories unisex i.e. upmerge the women's one into the general category. That got significant support, albeit the split got more support. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose for international teams per PRIMARYTOPIC, to ensure that the category name matches the article naming. GiantSnowman 11:44, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @GiantSnowman: The format of these international player categories explicitly don't follow the national team article names, though. If that were the case, the categories would be titled "England national football team players" and the like. Also, the naming of categories should be unambiguous, having recently gone through these categories there were many instances of women's players categorized in the men's team categories. The category naming should provide clarity for readers, for example the category for Birmingham is titled Category:Birmingham, West Midlands (per consensus). Unlike articles which may have the benefit of a disambiguation hatnote at the top, categories are often added to an article without ever seeing the category page. S.A. Julio (talk) 19:13, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Actually I think creating a new cat "England national football team players" and such would be good idea. It's a bit illogical that youth players are subcats of the NT players, while they are completely different teams. "International players" could be their parent cat. "England under-21 international footballers" does not directly refer to the U21 team either, just that the player are under the age of 21. Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:20, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  'England under-21' refers to players who play for the England under-21 team, not just players generally under that age! GiantSnowman 15:29, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I know. But for clarification the subcats to main national team footballers can't be footballers who played for a different team (such as junior teams). Similarly Category:England national football team is only for the main team (otherwise the name of the cat should be "England national football teams" in plural, which is covered by the Category:England national football teams) and not for the youth teams - there is Category:England national youth football team (should be renamed to plural too).

The result of the discussion was: mergetoCategory:California Democrats. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:45, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Democratic Party city council members of California (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: In my quick check through several other states' city council members categories, it looks like we have category trees by city and sometimes gender and race but no category division by political party. I think in many locations, these are non-partisan offices so I'm not sure if this is a new category tree that should be created. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:51, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: My motivation for Category:Democratic Party city council members of California is to make Category:California Democrats a container category that contains only sub-categories and does not directly contain pages. The existing sub-categories use elected office at the state and federal level; my idea was to add local titles.

Correct that city council is often non-partisan, but to my knowledge most city council members do have a party affiliation that can be a defining characteristic.

Alternatives:

• Create a category for Democratic Party local elected officials of California
• Find an alternate categorization scheme for Category:California Democrats

🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 06:52, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (or rename to local officials), this is a proper subcategory of Category:California Democrats by political office. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:05, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete city governments are, more often than not, theoretically non-partisan in the United States. Therefore, extending the partisan tree to local government is unhelpful. Individuals should be kept in the Democrats category if they were elected in a partisan system.--User:Namiba 11:30, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and upmerge the members to Category:California Democrats as below — actually, many cities and counties in the US use a partisan election model, as it depends on the state and often the year of the charter. Non-partisan elections usually means a smaller party wants to disguise its members for better election chances. But there's no good reason for a triple intersection at this entry level. There is no need to containerize Category:California Democrats. It is merely a big state.
  William Allen Simpson (talk) 15:06, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Procedural issue — Marcocapelle and PacificDepths have added {{Container category}}toCategory:California Democrats, after it was not approved for splitting, and it was not approved as a container, and it is now full of articles from #Category:California Democrats by region below.

Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination after inconclusive discussion on Speedy page. – Fayenatic London 22:01, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• It should become consistent, for a start. Either rename all to "rainforest" (as nominated) or rename all to "basin". Marcocapelle (talk) 22:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree to rename to "rainforest" although you might want to leave the category "Fish of the Amazon Basin" as it is. --Couiros22 (talk) 10:46, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Indented to show subcategories. Duplicate "Fauna" instead of "Flora", fixed.
  1. The Amazon basin is a place, and the Amazon rainforest covers most of it, but extends outside of it. Impossible to be consistent without fragmentation.
  2. Birds can fly outside the basin, but still reside in the rainforest.
  3. Fish are always going to be in the basin, not the rainforest (until they learn to fly).
• Upmerge Category:Biota of the Amazon basin to all subcategories, it only has 2 subcategories, it is a shim that will never grow.
  • Keep Category:Fauna of the Amazon
    • Rename Category:Birds of the Amazon BasintoCategory:Birds of the Amazon rainforest
    • Keep Category:Fish of the Amazon basin
  • Keep Category:Flora of the Amazon, matching Category:Fauna of the Amazon

William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
