Former fire stations

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:42, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Former is used to describe buildings that no longer exist. Defunct is used for re-purposed buildings like the ones included here. This rename would title the subcategories in the same way. For the parent category, the introduction specifically says Buildings once used as fire stations, but no longer active for that purpose. The parent categories all reflect a building where the use was changed as opposed to a demolished building. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:08, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:American Wiccans. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:43, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article here, no navigational purpose to categorize. I'm not entirely sure if Wiccan priestesses is the right category to merge to, so I'm open to other suggestions. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:01, 28 July 2014 (UTC) Marcocapelle (talk) 21:16, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:44, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category contains only two articles and they already refer to each other immediately in the body text, so categorizing them does not serve any navigational purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Canadian Wiccans

[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: no consensus. – Fayenatic London 08:18, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Canadian neopagans only contains Category:Canadian Wiccans so one of the two categories is redundant for sure. Neopagans is the more established category name, so I would propose to keep Category:Canadian neopagans as the one category to be kept here. But I'm also open to a reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:30, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So that would be a reverse merge, that's fair enough. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:59, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Meaningless outside the context of a particular country's copyright law, as terms of protection vary presently and have varied over time. Previously deleted in 2009 per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 May 27#Category:Public domain films; all the reasons given there still apply. postdlf (talk) 16:06, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SteveStrummer: Given the wide differences in what constitutes "public domain" surely lists (by country?) would be a much better way of gathering this information? SFB 18:10, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People made notable by their deaths

[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) 04:40, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Am I the only one who finds this category in horribly bad taste? Notability is an internal Wikipedia concept, and grouping people on the basis that they wouldn't have mattered enough to have Wikipedia articles if they hadn't died horribly just feels really wrong to me. This is on top of the fact that this category couldn't exist outside Wikipedia because it's entirely based on our internal notion of notability. It is also unverifiable because the only way it could be demonstrated is by reference to Wikipedia discussions where the community found that person to be otherwise not notable (and only in those cases where such a discussion happened).

Future categories

[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: manual merge. I will only implement this as a merge where the contents are not already within specific sub-categories of fiction set in the relevant period; in most cases for C22, the pages are already so categorised and therefore no merger is required, so the categories can simply be deleted. – Fayenatic London 22:53, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

also includes a number of other categories, some to be upmerged to other categories

extended list of categories

and a weaker argument for

Nominator's rationale: UpMerge. Base article does not and should not yet exist. The argument for 2100 is weaker because we would first need to deal with Category:2100 in science, and its two articles which should also probably be deleted. But that's a separate issue. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:05, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Since the year after 1 BC was 1 AD (without year zero), 2100 is the last year of 21st century. I am not in favour of categories on remote future periods (or splitting everything by year in remote past periods). It will be at least 60 years before we need a decade category for 2100s, possibly 80. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2014 (UTC)*:Although I agree with Peterkingiron's conclusion, I take issue with the timing required. We have Category:2090s now, and I believe we should have Category:2050s. This suggests that it might be only 50 years before Category:2100s is opened, rather than the 60 to 80 he suggests. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as a group nomination. All of the 21xx series of categories exist so there is no reason to remove a single category due to an incorrect parent which has been fixed. As for the 22xx series, many of these exist for media or other purposes and are a part of a series so it is unclear if they should be deleted. For the periods after that maybe support to by century/millennium. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:58, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vegaswikian:All the categories were recently (my recollection is less than a week before the nomination, but certainly less than a month) created, most, having exactly one article, which is on a solar eclipse. I question whether the articles should exist, rather than being merged to single-line entries in list of 22nd century solar eclipses, or some such, but, even so, that is no reason for the categories to exist. I see no reason why a future year category could be justified without a lead article being appropriate. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    If we have an issue with the articles, then that needs to be addressed first. If someone is creating articles for all solar eclipses in the 22nd century, then we would have a strong case for by year categories.
  • Merge but not as nom -- My sample of a few items indicated that the articles were mostly fictional works. On reflection I am changfing my vote. Whether a work is set in 2110 or 2115 seems almost random, but possibly we might allow decade categories for the 22nd century, but only century categories beyond it. I offer this as a compromise, because I am not sure that my previous vote was wrong. However, I would agree with Arthur Rubin on the period of 50 years. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:08, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I generally don't see a need for decade categories. As already pointed out, the last year in a century generally gets included in the wrong century. This frequently happens, as I recall, from using the by decade navigation templates. I fail to see how having 10 categories with 10 subcategories is an improvement over 1 category with 100 subcategories. Both display well on most displays. So why add an extra unneeded navigation level? Vegaswikian (talk) 17:37, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge It is far too early for such precision in categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:26, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split. – Fayenatic London 17:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Split - the current category is oversized. Splitting it according to the following should deal with that:

Nominator's rationale: Category contains one (sort of eponymous) article (that is in plenty of other cats) and has no parents. DexDor (talk) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I found the following comment on another CFD page and am copying it here.
Indian council of forestry research and education (Icfre) is the largest organisation based in india to carry out forestry research and forestry education in India. ICFRE has institutes at national level as well as regional centres at different states. ICFRE is putting efforts to increase forest cover in India and to encourage agroforestry, silviculture, horticulture, forest protection and forest education in india. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editinf (talk • contribs) 12:05, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That actually supports the principle of what I said above. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:38, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename and Keep, per User:Peterkingiron. Taking it at face value, this seems to be an important, high-level forestry agency in India, with a number of related suborganizations and units. It makes sense to keep it. I've tried to recategorize it in a way that I hope is helpful and accurate. This said, there is at the same time some overenthusiastic, overinclusion of articles within this category by its creator, a new contributor to Wikipedia; some friendly educational efforts may be helpful in that regard.
