The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:01, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Maronites are a religious group. We do not sort by religious descent. User:Namiba 21:45, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Carlos, while I appreciate your persistence, American people of Lebanese descent is a valid category as a well-known diaspora group in the United States. You may want to go back and re-read the policy if you feel otherwise.--User:Namiba 01:31, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Really, what are the boundaries of that diaspora group - is it present and discernable in people after two generations, three, five, ten, twenty; at what admixture? does one who has only one great-great-great grandmother of this descent part of the community? And if someone in that community adopts a baby with non-Maronite lineage and brings him or her up in the faith and culture, that person is categorically excluded because its "descent" is wrong? That, among others, is what make all these descent categories of no value and ghettoizing. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As with all other categories, the boundaries are the sources. Is the subject regularly described as having this descent? If not, then it should not be included. If so, then it should be included. That's the standard for all categories and I see no reason why descent categories should be different.--User:Namiba 16:35, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • How would you objectively define that? If the person is best known as an author, in English, e.g., is that assimilation? I find the whole "assimilation" definition odd - I live it daily and maybe that's why I cannot accept a bright-line test for assimilation. Another difficulty of "descent" categories: I assume few in the UK are more "assimilated" than Prince Charles and his kids, but - assuming paternity is where its claimed to be - he's of various "descent": his dad was born Greek of Danish and German noble houses, his mom is descended from Alexandra of Denmark (wife of Edward VII), George I (Hanoveran), Sophia of Hanover (Dutch), a grand-daughter of James VI of Scotland, and Henry VII (Welsh), who descends from Catherine of Valois (French), etc. we don't pollute our biography of Prince Charles with these sorts of "descent" categories, rightly so.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:13, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining category. While there is a main page for the category, it isn't like these people served in World War II. Lettlerhellocontribs 17:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- there are plenty of categories like this all over wikipedia and it may be a valid point of research for someone in the future. It doesn't have to be viewed solely through the lens of WWII/Holocaust either, there are many other angles from which to engage with this topic. --Dan Carkner (talk) 15:24, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:58, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only two people will ever be in this category and they are both already in Category:Children of Henry VIII, which is the defining category. Catherine of Aragon didn't have any children by anyone else. DrKay (talk) 13:19, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Why would one parent be more defining than the other? Both have their own categories. Dimadick (talk) 16:05, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Guidance is available at Wikipedia:Defining. DrKay (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rattachists[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:57, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SOCK: The category was created by ApolloCarmb, a sockpuppet of Apollo The Logician. Additionally, the scope of the category can be too broad and make it difficult to determine which people should be included in the category (what determines that a person is a rattachist or not), which is ripe for original research.

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories used for the same purpose. The article about the place is Alley of Honor. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is a category for Wikipedians. I don't think it really could promote collaboration in Wikipedia. If kept, needs to be renamed to include "Wikipedians". Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:52, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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: upmerge. bibliomaniac15 21:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING generally
No other country has a similar category and, while I'm open to unique English variations or legal structures for Australia, there is no Law support structure article to ground this category. At this point, the category is just adding a layer without navigational benefit. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would be very flexible about having a unique legal category structure for a country if there was a main article grounding what the inclusion criteria would be. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Elements Music Camp alumni[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:55, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCASSOC and WP:PERFCAT)
The Elements Music Camp is a five-day music camp in the Phillipines for aspiring singers. I'm sure this experince was defining for these promising young people for awhile but Wikipedia doesn't have articles on promising young people. By the time that they hit it big and become eligible for a Wikipedia article, this gets reduced to a sentence or two about their early career so it seems non-defining. The recipient are already listed right here in the intro to the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
