November 10

Category:Maps of Cornwall

edit
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: delete as a category by moving to Maps of Cornwall and then merging the text to Geography of Cornwall#Human geography. A bit complex, but to preserve attribution there has to be a redirect, so... The Bushranger One ping only 00:06, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I am not aware of any notable maps that would populate this category, any map of the British Isles has Cornwall in it, and we hardly need a category to keep track of OS Landranger maps because they don't have individual articles. I found it with the single article Hundreds of Cornwall in it, which is not a map, and is correctly categorized in other categories. Dysklyver 21:00, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • What would you do if you found a category that has only one page in it and that page didn't belong in the category? Would correcting the page's categorization and then waiting for someone else to CSD tag the category (for being empty) have been better? DexDor (talk) 07:04, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve been thinking I could turn this into an article, there’s already a bit of content there, and it could refer to OS maps and such. Maps of Cornwall, would be of more use than this category is. Dysklyver 09:17, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
we don't have that article, it is just a redirect I was considering making. Also for the sake of accuracy in the dates, the county of Cornwall was formed in the late 1700's, it was previously a duchy administered by the Stannary Parliaments. So its been a normal English county for about 250 years. Dysklyver 17:55, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Playing word association games at WP with categories is not in spirit of an encyclopedia. Objects aren't definable. How can we have a category Songs about objects? Richhoncho (talk) 18:08, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per previous CFD - Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_July_23#Category:Mammals_of_Algeria. Possibly salt. Note: Categories such as Category:Rodents of North Africa are a better way of categorizing as they avoid putting articles in a large number of country-specific categories. DexDor (talk) 16:15, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • These particular categories have been selected because they were recreated after being deleted. We should move away from categorizing species by which countries they are found in as that leads to absurdities such as Category:Fauna_of_Akrotiri_and_Dhekelia (CFD), some articles being in dozens of country categories, articles being placed in a Foos of Europe category because they are found in a Pacific Island that is governed by France etc. Lists are more suitable. We should categorize species etc by large physical regions (e.g. continents/sub-continents - which may in some cases, e.g. Australia, correspond to countries). Unfortunately this is too big/complicated to do in one huge CFD. DexDor (talk) 20:58, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. The other subcats of Category:World War II resistance members should be nominated forwith. The Bushranger One ping only 00:19, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the two categories have the same scope. Neither of the sibling categories adds "of World War II" to the category name. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:52, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Medieval years by continent

The result of the discussion was: merge. ℯxplicit 01:12, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Below is an example nomination. The full list of nominated categories can be found on the talk page.
Nominator's rationale: merge as a redundant container category level. By far the most medieval year categories contain only one or two continents, Europe and/or Asia. Note that the execution of the nomination will require editing Template:Year in continent category, Template:EstcatContinent and Template:DisestcatContinent.

The result of the discussion was:   Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 18#Category:Muscat, Oman. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:43, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Subject to rename this category into Muscat article as the primary topic after the RM discussion of 3 August 2017. This should include sub-categories. ApprenticeFan work 07:35, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename -- I cannot think of any other use of Muscat, which would need that we need a disambiguator. This is not a case like London, Ontario or Birmingham, Alabama, where there is room for confusion. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:04, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Seems like a trivia, non-encyclopedic type of a category. There is no similar category to this that I can find, and it doesn't fit into any particular trees. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:59, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; clearly falls under WP:PERFCAT. Trivialist (talk) 11:11, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
