August 10[edit]

Category:Civil wars post-1945[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: split. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split to align with common chronology, e.g. Category:20th-century conflicts and Category:21st-century conflicts. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As for Category:Warfare of the late modern period, the whole 20th century is in it, so I would suggest simply editing the header, to link to late modern period instead of to industrial era, and to move post-1945 and 21st century under it. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Fayenatic london: why so? We do not usually categorize by industrial era, undoubtedly because its beginning and end are rather fuzzy and dependent on which part of the world you are considering. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge or reverse merge, Right-wing terrorism is also referred to as hard right terrorism, extreme right terrorism or far-right terrorism. Regardless the merge direction, I think the parent category should become Category:Far-right politics. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Right-wing terrorism is the main article for both, and the terms are essentially interchangeable. Terrorism is naturally extremist and at the "far" end of the political spectrum, so this part is implied in the base term of "right-wing terrorism". Agree with having Category:Far-right politics as the parent. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:28, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:NPOV WP:OR. The question whether these archaeological cultures were "Italic", "Etruscan", "Celtic" a mix or something else is hotly contested, and many articles say so explicitly. Apennine culture states: In the 19th and early 20th centuries various theorists made various imputations of ethnicity concerning the Apennine culture. In the 20th century, the Italian scholar, Massimo Pallottino, who specialized in Etruscan civilization, rejected them as oversimple. At least with reference to Italy, he discarded Kossinna's Law, which states languages and ethnic groups are to be identified with archaeological groups. Therefore, Pallottino argued that terms such as "the Terramare culture" or "the Apennine culture" have no ethnic or linguistic significance. We also don't know whether the Venetic language was Italic, Celtic or something else. Even if we associate the Este culture with the Adriatic Veneti, we are no closer to saying whether it was "Italic". We shouldn't be categorising items by language family if we've got nothing but archaeological findings that point to multiple possibilities, which are explicitly admitted; that would be Wikipedia taking a POV on a contested issue. All items and subcategories are already in Category:Archaeological cultures in Italy, so no merger is needed.

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:NPOV WP:OR. It has only 1 item right now, called Kurumchi culture, the origins of which are widely disputed. They could be Turkic, they could be Mongolic, they could be Chinese, they could be Korean etc. or a mix. Kurumchi culture#Modern consensus states: However their discovery outside of archaeological digs by non-professionals[26] and poor documentation by Petri made their specific cultural origins impossible to categorize.[75] We shouldn't be categorising items by language family if we've got nothing but archaeological findings that point to multiple possibilities are are literally said to be impossible to categorize; that would be Wikipedia taking a POV on a contested issue. This article is already in plenty of other categories which are defining enough: Category:Archaeological cultures of Northern Asia,Category:Early medieval archaeological cultures of Asia, Category:Archaeological cultures of Siberia, Category:Archaeological cultures in Russia, Category:History of Siberia, Category:National histories. We don't need a widely disputed "Turkic" category on top of that.

Category:Christians by country[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: rename to Category:Christian religious workers by country. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:09, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C recently renamed sibling Category:Sports coaches by country to Category:Sports coaches by country of work. Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 August 2#Category:Sports coaches by country. For better distinction from Category:Christians by nationality. All people in these subcategories are either clergy / religious leaders / bishops, or they are missionaries by mission country (i.e. country of work, the country where they do their missionary activities). The only exception is Category:Christians in the Roman Empire, but that is due to the fact that that is currently a WP:CROSSCAT of the Category:People by nationalty, Category:People by period (parent Category:Ancient Christians) and Category:People by country trees. It needs purging anyway. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:20, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alt proposal 1 rationale: We could also make Category:People by occupation and country (currently its sibling) its parent and instead make clear that this tree is about what jobs Christians do/did in countries other than the country of their nationality. This would avoid misunderstandings about what the tree is for. So a subcategory like Category:Christians in Peru could be renamed to Category:Christians by occupation in Peru. Note that the occupation in question must be an ecclesiastical one. We're not interested in, say, expatriate golfers living in Peru who also just so happen to be Christians; that would be WP:NONDEFINING. But for missionaries and bishops, their Christian religion does define their job. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:29, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support renaming to Category:Christians by country per Sports coaches by country of work precedent. As you say, all members carry out their work in those countries which is often not the country of their birth. Missionary activity is more akin to carrying out "the Lord's work" than an occupation (i.e. paid employment). Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alt 2 Category:Christian religious workers by country. As the intention is to limit this to religious workers the category name should reflect that. To be parented to Category:Christian religious workers. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't know that category tree existed, but it's better than the two options I proposed. Edit: added Alt proposal 2 as an option to the nom. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Support Alt2 proposal, but I do encourage us to think thru other potential exceptions, like Category:Christians in the Roman Empire.Mason (talk) 19:38, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If we want that category to be about subjects of the Roman emperor instead of people who were just residing in the Empire and doing their jobs as missionaries or bishops, then we should rename it to Category:Christians from the Roman Empire per parent Category:People from the Roman Empire. I think that would be a better solution. I don't think there were lots of Christian missionaries coming from outside the boundaries of the Empire to convert Roman subjects to a religion which was generally banned and occasionally but not systematically persecuted.
    Christianity emerged inside the Empire itself, amongst the Empire's Judean and Galilean subjects. The earliest Christian missionaries were apostles like Paul of Tarsus, living inside the Roman Empire (in his case as a citizen in Cilicia (Roman province), but most others in Galilee and Palestine probably were Roman subjects without Roman citizenship). The only place outside the Empire where I could imagine Christian missionaries to come from and convert Roman subjects would be Osrhoene or something, but I'm not counting on it. We better just change in to from, and take it out of this "people by country of work" tree. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. Alt 2 is superior. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
