February 18[edit]

Category:Failed crowdfunding projects[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: combine to Category:Crowdfunding projects (except for Category:Failed crowdfunding projects). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:35, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. "Failed" or "unsuccessful" is a subjective judgement that doesn't account for potential success later, acquiring actual publisher funding, choosing to cancel a Kickstarter, etc. Even when supposedly "failed", a Kickstarter can give a game free advertising. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 23:51, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, for scholars of Roman history the distinction between Soviet Russians and post-Soviet Russians is rather trivial. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:03, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge — verified that they all were born in Russia or Tatarstan, all seem to be Russian, some already in Russian scholars.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:02, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:ETHNICRACECAT: Wikipedia does not categorize by race, which is an outdated pseudo-scientific concept. All content is already properly categorized, nothing to merge. Place Clichy (talk) 16:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Child rulers[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 & reparent. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:01, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename and reparent to the Monarchs hierarchy. Monarchs is more specific than rulers and the concept of child rulers only makes sense in a monarchy. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:14, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. Scratching my head, I can only think of the Dalai Lama as a case where a state would select a child that is not a monarch to rule it, obviously through regents. There are other culture which also select children as religious figures, but I'm not sure there is any other place where they are also invested temporal powers. Anyway, this case practically comes down to a non-hereditary monarchy, so I subscribe to the nomination. Place Clichy (talk) 18:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. It is highly improbable that any child would be appointed as a ruler, other than by inheriting the position. As a child, actual rule will be in the hands of a regent(s). This includes Dalai Lama, who is believed to be his predecessor reincarnated. "Child" needs to be judged according to whether they had a regent, as some kings declared themselves of age and began ruling at less than the normal full age. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:01, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename and re-parent.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 05:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename and 're-parent per nom and per my own CfD on Category:Rulers. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:00, 23 February 2023 (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: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:07, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-standard category in linguistics (other cats exist for langs and countries), created for nationalistic POVPUSH by blocked sock. Gotitbro (talk) 14:13, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just realized could have CSD'd these cats (the new skin is definitely a handful), please see if they can be handled as such. Gotitbro (talk) 14:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia categories named after subway systems[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. Poorly named and unmaintained Maintenance category. Petscan shows that a number of "underground" rapid transit systems are missing. Using Category:Rapid transit itself would be better and more complete than only "subway systems".
William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:51, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, overlap with the tree of Category:Rapid transit - unless someone can explain what kind of maintenance is done here. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - and populate using eg the Petcan mentioned in the nom. 'Delete because incomplete' is a novel rationale at cfd. Oculi (talk) 13:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overlapping categories that are not well populated is a fairly common rationale. Over the past 6+ years, mostly RevelationDirect and I have proposed deleting one or more of these. Oculi always opposes without explaining how s/he is doing maintenance. Perhaps the creator Solomonfromfinland can explain what maintenance is actually done. In the meantime, I'll purge those not specifically about subways.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:45, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If it's a worthwhile category to populate, sure, I'm on board with populating it. So what administrative purpose does it serve? - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is a completely different category (a category of categories) from Category:Rapid transit (a standard topic category), with a completely different structure, as a swift glance at both will demonstrate. William Allen Simpson has a history of bringing these to cfd without attempting to understand them; eg 2021 March 3#Category:Wikipedia categories named after regions. user:BrownHairedGirl, whose sagacious contributions to cfd are sorely missed, supplies a well-reasoned defence at 2020 March 25#Category:Wikipedia categories named after Presidents of Czechoslovakia. There is a discussion at 2012 March 3#Category:Eponymous categories which decided they should be hidden and discusses administrative/project properties. Oculi (talk) 01:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • BHG provides an argument for closely monitoring eponymous biography categories but that doesn't apply here. How does this category aid the encyclopedia? - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:37, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've been around some time longer than Oculi, would appreciate that s/he stop personal insults. I understand category maintenance rather well. Still waiting for decription of the actual maintenance procedure for this case.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:23, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete clear case of WP:OVERLAPCAT while avoiding WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If a plausible case that this serves an administrative purpose is raised, I'm happy to reconsider. - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless a valid reason to keep for maintenance is provided; however, I've yet to see one. –Aidan721 (talk) 05:35, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Templates used by fb templates[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We don't have a category tree for templates that are used by other templates, and for a good reason. The fact that only 3 templates are listed here shows that even this category is not really used. Gonnym (talk) 09:28, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Seems almost like WP:PERFCAT but for templates. If someone can explain how this helps the encyclopedia, happy to reconsider. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:51, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — two are already in proper category. Currently unused {{non existing}} has only this category and I've nominated it for deletion.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Fb templates not in use[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary (and currently empty) category. If they are not used, they should be nominated at TfD instead of being added to this category. Gonnym (talk) 09:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Rulers by religion[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 delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:12, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCEGRS, except for monarchs this is a trivial intersection with religion. Monarchs by religion is a tree on its own and is not part of this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteWP:OCEGRS. Added template for links and logs to nomination, easier to evaluate.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manually empty then delete' -- I do not think that a plain delete will work here, as a few articles are currently liable to be orphaned from this tree. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:10, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per William Allen Simpson. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:59, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Train and subway fires[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 as per nom. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Match content. Eliminate "subway", not appropriate in this case.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 08:50, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, aligning with Category:Rapid transit. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:57, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggest just Category:Train fires. Subways and rapid transit are normally species of railway. We actually have articles on fires on subways and London underground. There may be merit in separating fires in tunnels from other railway fires as they are particularly nasty. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is an intersection of train with rapid transit, distinguished from bus rapid transit.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:29, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Underground rapid transit systems[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:14, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Match its commons category "Subterranean rapid transit", parent Category:Subterranean buildings and structures, and its parent Category:Subterranea (geography). Another parent is Category:Rapid transit, no "systems" needed.
Reduce confusion with the London "Underground", and others demonstrated by:

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:14, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT The only entry (Category:London Post Office Railway rolling stock‎) was underground, but not otherwise categorized as "rapid transit". No rapid transit lines distinguish their rolling stock as exclusively "underground". No upmerge will be necessary as I've already reviewed and restored the earlier parent category.
