Nominator's rationale: Either merge to parent category OR if kept rename to Roman Catholic missionaries in British North America. This is an underpopulated category that is too narrow because BNA doesn't exist until 1783. Per the parent category description "British North America (1783–1907) — the colonies and territories of the British Empire remaining in continental North America after the end of the American Revolutionary War for independence in 1783."

  • Update. @Marcocapelle:. I've nominated most of the nazi death categories. I think that we should either merge the parent category Category:Deaths in Nazi Germany, as I think that folks will continue to be added to the category if we don't. Or find a way to make it extremely clear that this is a container category for a very narrow scope.

  • I don't think "in Nazi Germany" is a good categorization for suicides of Nazis or people persecuted by the Nazis, because many of these suicides occurred outside the borders of Nazi Germany. Additionally, it's unclear whether "in Nazi Germany" count the prewar borders (as is the norm with current conflicts) or some other borders. So I think this category, if kept, should be renamed to something thematically not geographically specific. (t · c) buidhe 22:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:James Goldsmith

[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. There is weak consensus that the category is not defining. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCASSOC. Category description is "links to the companies which James Goldsmith owned or was involved with, and includes individuals whom worked for him" -- but companies he was "involved with", but not the outright owner of, do not belong in an eponymous category for him, and neither do individuals who worked for him. And on a random spotcheck of a handful of articles in this category, every one I checked failed to mention James Goldsmith at all apart from the category declaration itself, meaning they certainly weren't defined by any involvement on his part. Bearcat (talk) 15:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep First on list AB Felix purchased by Cavenham Foods in 1972, wholly owned by Cavenham from 1976 (referenced). Cavenham Foods was created by James Goldsmith as per the opening line of the article. Second, Ambrosia (food brand), owned by Bovril (though admittedly not on the page which has an improvement header). Bovril was purchased by Cavenham in 1971 as per article (all referenced on Bovril). Amora (mustard), again does not mention Goldsmith, but if you check both the Cavenham and Generale Occidentale page you will see this (again this page has an article improvement notice as it is not correct). Carr's again states purchased by Cavenham (referenced). Chocolat Poulain was purchased by James Goldsmith company Generale Occidentale as referenced on that page. Colonial Stores was purchased by Grand Union (supermarket) owned by Goldsmith (referenced on the Grand Union page). Crown Zellerbach again has referenced that Goldsmith purchased the business in 1985. Diamond Match Company again 1982 and referenced. Elizabeth Shaw (confectionery company) again is referenced to show owned by Goldsmith's Cavenham. L'Express as per article purchased 1977. Roland Franklin again mentions Goldsmith. Floyd Hall was appointed by Goldsmith to Grand Union as referenced in article. Home and Colonial Stores again purchased by Goldsmith's Cavenham as referenced. Lipton doesn't mention Goldsmith but says it was part of Allied Suppliers which links to Home and Colonial page. Maille (company) doesn't mention Goldsmith but was owned by Generale Occidentale and is referenced there. Presses de la Cité States it was sold to Generale Occidentale, owned by Goldsmith. Presto (UK supermarket) again doesn't mention Goldsmith but mentions Allied Suppliers. RS McColl mentions owned by Cavenham. Synthol (mouthwash) does not mention any ownership history, but as per Cavenham page is referenced as being owned by them. Weingarten's again referenced to show purchased by Cavenham. Wright's Biscuits again says purchased by Cavenham. So all of these companies were either owned Cavenham, Generale Occidentale or Goldsmith's other holding companies (General Oriental/ Trocadero are just two). The others were people who worked for or with Goldsmith. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 15:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, WP:OCASSOC. People who "worked for or with Goldsmith" are not defined by Goldsmith — and even if he owned a company, that company is still not defined by his ownership if its own article can't be arsed to even mention his name at all. Nothing is defined by Goldsmith until its article contains several substantial paragraphs about Goldsmith's direct personal relationship with it — even if he owned a company or employed a person, that's not a defining relationship if the article doesn't directly contextualize the significance of that relationship in its own body text. Bearcat (talk) 16:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you read Cavenham Foods or Generale Occidentale you will see these are all referenced there after I have rewritten these articles over the last months to improve the articles. I am still in the process of adding to the other articles, when I get the chance (Maille and Chocolate Poulin were both sold to Danone predecessor which is not even mentioned in the article!). They are all directly linked to Goldsmith. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 16:34, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No consensus on whether to delete or repurpose as an eponymous category for Cavenham Foods.

Oppose 2nd, the two suicides happened before the German Empire was established. Possibly merge it to Europe. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:45, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Louise Brachmann drowned herself in Halle. Friedrich Eduard Beneke dies in Berlin. Halle and Berlin are in Germany. Hence Category:Suicides in Germany is a perfectly fine merge target. And even if we wanted to slice topic categories by every possible intersection of past and present country and political regime, the German nation certainly predates the establishment of the Empire in 1871, and 19th-century Germans felt Germans, as e.g. the German revolutions of 1848–1849 would indicate. Place Clichy (talk) 10:53, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not agree with the logic that having a common term for people with the same language implies a nationality. The concept of nationality is linked to a state, not to language. Likewise the term Arab Spring does not imply that there is an Arab nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that language does not imply nationality. However, the concept of nationality is linked to that of nation, more that with that of state. As sometimes, nations predate states, as is especially obvious in the case of German, Italian and Polish nations in the 19th century. Goethe is a German writer, the most famous of all, in the sense of German nationality, not language. Plus in the case of Germany, people in the two nominated category actually dies at the time of either the German Confederation or the Confederation of the Rhine, so a German state, albeit a confederation, existed at the time.

However, see this comment from the page creator @Johnpacklambert [1] for a different opinion. Mason (talk) 23:22, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Political regime is not defining in this case. The nationality here is Russian. Place Clichy (talk) 00:23, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • One of the articles is in an Estonian category. We need to figure out how to treat Russian Empire people, Russian people and e.g. Estonian people in relationship to each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:02, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's a fair point. I think that making an Estonian pharamist category and perhaps reparenting 19th-century estonian people would do the trick? Mason (talk) 15:19, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Our guide should be reliable sources. If someone is primarily defined as Estonian, then they should firstly be in a Estonian fooer category. If they are primarily defined as an Estonian within the Russian Empire, then in most cases I would place the article in three categories: Estonian fooers, Russian fooers and Estonians in the Russian Empire. This logic can be applied to every empire of every period of history, or for everybody whose RS-supported nationality is different from that of the state they lived in or its modern-day equivalent. Place Clichy (talk) 21:01, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Russian fooers is inaccurate especially in case of e.g. Estonians. Fooers from the Russian Empire would be more accurate. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:07, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      That's not always inaccurate. Military people who fought in a war and wore a Russian uniform, albeit by loyalty or obligation to the state, deserve to be called Russian. That's less obvious for pharmacists (although pharmacists also do military service like everyone I believe), that's why I'm inclined to go by reliable sources primarily.
