December 25

[edit]

Category:Russian Orthodox Christians from Russia

[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: do not rename. MER-C 12:56, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "From Russia" looks redundant as "Russian" already indicates the origin, no conflict with parent categories. Brandmeistertalk 16:52, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- We would not have Anglican Christians in England or English members of Church of England. We should be able to assume that Russian Orthodox are Russian, unless they are placed in a non-Russian sub-cat. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:55, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete empty category. I presume the former contents has already been moved to Category:Canadian businesspeople. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:16, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is a duplicate of Category:Canadian_businesspeople, I fail to see how these two differ at all. Mrfrobinson (talk) 14:48, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete, move up subcats. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCASSOC, WP:PERFCAT and, in many cases, WP:BLPCAT
What's convenient here, is that this category literally start with "People associated with..." and we have an over-categorization guideline prohibiting People associated with... categories. Specifically, WP:OCASSOC reads that "the problem with vaguely-named categories such as this is determining what degree or nature of 'association; is necessary to qualify a person for inclusion in the category." Not only that, many of these are still living people being "associated" with a criminal conspiracy so there are WP:BLPCAT issues. I thought about creating more clear subcategories for Watergate Committee staffers, witnesses, and reporters but these would run into WP:PERFCAT issues. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:26, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified Funandtrvl as the apparent category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Past Political Scandals and Controversies. – RevelationDirect (talk) 12:26, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
