What are you suggesting that the subcategories need to be nominated for? All of them are in established "X by nationality" trees with dozens upon dozens of siblings for other countries, with no discernible reason why Canada should be uniquely excluded from established trees, so why would they need to be deleted?

    No worries. So my thinking is that Women designers isn't defining. It's a catch-all generic term, but the subcat is defining and well established, as is the parent; so I'm effectively suggesting we cut out the middle layer. Mason (talk) 23:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete with no objection to recreate if there is more to add. Other than a defunct league, there are no other women's baseball leagues so this won't be populated any time soon. Note: these all are already in appropriate subcats so no need to merge. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:38, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just player is "Women", not all of people who involved in "Women's baseball" is "Women", that's why we need Category:Women's baseball people, Category:Women's baseball coaches. Category:Women's association football didn't add Category:Women in association football. HanTsî (talk) 08:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's... not the point of this Cfd. Completely unrelated, in fact. Note: this is the creator of these categories and I think they are confusing an unrelated disagreement about categorization - which was resolved after they finally explained why they were doing so - with why I nominated these categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Women's baseball is nowhere near women's association football, unfortunately. Hence why I said "no objection to recreate" if there is more to add in the future. At the moment, there's nothing to add here and the rest of the categories in Category:Women's baseball will have to make do. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: OWaunTon (talk · contribs) attempted to nominate this category for deletion at AfD, which is not the right venue. Their rationale is as follows:

The network NewsNet ceased operations last month and is no longer affiliated with any stations now.
— User:OWaunTon 17:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

This is largely precedural and I offer little opinion or further comment; I do note that while it has been standard in this topic area for affiliate categories for defunct networks to eventually be deleted, a previous deletion nomination (by the category's creator, no less) did fail last month.

Nominator's rationale: "Writers about subject" category, newly created for just one person. There's no "Writers about the Holocaust" tree for this to be part of, and while there are obviously a lot of people (from throughout the world, not just the US) who could be added to such a category, it would have to encompass such an incredibly wide variety of different types of writing -- personal Holocaust memoirs, historical analysis, novels, poetry, and unfortunately even denialism -- as to not actually represent a unified group because they weren't all writing about the Holocaust in the same way, which is precisely why such an obvious "you would think it would already exist" category doesn't actually already exist. So the United States doesn't have any special need of this for just one person. Bearcat (talk) 14:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Category:Writers by subject area precludes different types of writing, does it? I mean, for example, the first three names in Category:Environmental writers are a photographer, a philosopher, and a documentarian. I'm sure those are all quite different, and yet I don't see why any of them would be removed. I don't quite see why Category:Writers about the Holocaust shouldn't exist, at least based on this argument. I do agree that this specific by nationality cat shouldn't exist without the parent, but I think the better solution would be creating the parent, and maybe merging this into that for the time being if there aren't enough Americans to justify the subcat. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it doesn't already exist, then there has to be a reason why it doesn't already exist, because it's such an obvious "you would think it would already exist" case that its failure to already exist has to have been actively thought out rather than simply overlooked by accident. Bearcat (talk) 15:48, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Or maybe it was overlooked by accident. Stranger things have happened. Assuming that there must be some justification without having any prior discussions to point to isn't how consensus is established. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Considering the sheer number of editors on Wikipedia who focus exclusively on Holocaust-related content, there's precisely zero to the power of negative zero per cent chance of this ever being "overlooked by accident". Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have been surprised many times by the categories/trees I've found nonexistent on English Wikipedia. You're probably right about the odds, but you still can't assume what reason there or even that there was one. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After opening with the blatantly false assumption/premise that the category was "created for just one person", Bearcat then proceeds to lay out the very reason these categories are sorely needed. Precisely because they
"encompass such an incredibly wide variety of different types of writing -- personal Holocaust memoirs, historical analysis, novels, poetry" [as well as essays, short stories, plays and screenplays].
User:QuietHere makes an excellent point regarding the diverse contents of Category:Environmental writers -- which is not in the least exceptional in that respect. There are countless other Categories with a similarly diverse array of contents.
Nothing illustrates the compelling need for these categories more clearly than the cases of two people who are surely among the best known of all Holocaust writers:
Elie Wiesel, who got crammed into Category:Holocaust historiography;
and the magisterial Primo Levi, who was left out entirely.
In closing - I've made a good start on populating the new categories, and there is no shortage of articles to be added. And Category:Holocaust diarists now has a good home in Category:Writers about The Holocaust, alongside Category:Historians of the Holocaust. Anomalous+0 (talk) 13:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, it is abundantly clear that we need categories for both novelists and children's writers, which I intend to create in the near future. Like I said above, there is no shortage of articles to be added to both categories. So I would genuinely appreciate it if you guys would back off a little and give me time and space to do this important work, instead of expending so much of my time & energy here.

Category:Members of the House of Commons of Canada by term

[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: merge to Category:21st-century members of the House of Commons of Canada. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Misguided and deeply incomplete scheme of overlapping categories. WikiProject Canada has not established any consensus that instituting a scheme of categorizing Members of Parliament for each individual term that they served in the legislature is desired -- note that these were started by an editor from Bangladesh, not a Canadian, and did not exist at all until three weeks ago.
Each election sees only a modest turnover of membership, so the end of a parliament and the initiation of a new one results in a large percentage of MPs being reelected to another term -- meaning that a large percentage of MPs would have to be readded to each new category, resulting in extreme category bloat as MPs get added to two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight of these in succession.
Furthermore, the creator half-assed the job, creating these only for a few of the most recent parliaments and adding them only to eight MPs total -- but if this scheme is to exist at all, it would need to comprehensively exist for all 44 parliaments all the way back to 1867, and it would need to contain every person who had ever served as an MP at all, not just eight incumbent Conservatives.
Again, the Canadian contingent has never established any consensus that this is desired -- we categorize Members of Parliament by province and/or party, and use lists to handle the "who served in which Parliament" stuff -- and if there were a consensus to start doing this now, it would have to (a) come from Canadians, not Bangladeshis, (b) be named differently than "Canada MPs YYYY-YYYY", and (b) get seen all the way through to actual completion, across 44 parliaments rather than just three, and a few thousand MPs filed in the categories rather than just eight. Bearcat (talk) 23:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think categories should be created across all 44 terms of Canadian MPs like the Westminster Parliament. It cannot be done by any single person. So discuss. Tuhin (talk) 16:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a bad idea for Westminster too, for many of the reasons I listed above — it results in extreme category bloat because most MPs have to be added to a new category each time they get reelected to the same job — so the fact that the British contingent have been doing this for Westminster is not a reason why Canada should be externally forced to do something that Canadian editors have explicitly decided that we don't want to maintain. Bearcat (talk) 14:23, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to that, especially since somebody created Category:19th-century Canadian legislators, Category:20th-century Canadian legislators and Category:21st-century Canadian legislators a few years ago without actually fully populating them — I've started adding some people to them in stages once I discovered them a few days ago, but am very, very far from finished. Those don't already serve the full purpose you suggest — "legislators" in Canada would also include provincial and territorial MLAs, not just federal MPs, so what you propose would be subcategories of those rather than duplicates. But as long as somebody actually helps to populate MPs-by-century categories properly instead of leaving them for other people to discover four years after the fact, I'm okay with a more general and less "another new category every four years" solution, especially if it also gets extended to the other countries that have been going with the fundamentally bad idea of creating a new category for every individual election. If you get a small minority of people having to be filed in two categories while the majority are in just one, that's not nearly such a bloaty or overlappy problem as the majority of MPs having to be in five or six categories.

p. 419: After the Mongol invasion and the collapse of Kievan Rus', the [Riurikid] dynasty continued to give the definition and identity to the lands of Rus' that distinguished them as related and associated principalities. The dynasty continued to be the exclusive provider of legitimate rulers for the Rus' principalities.
In particular, the Principality of Moscow, which did not exist until 1283 (decades after the end of Kievan Rus' in 1240, and therefore was never a "subdivision of Kievan Rus'"), is commonly called a Rus' principality.
p. 425: Other scholars, implicitly discounting the influence of Kievan tradition, have cited different factors to account for Moscow’s ascendancy over the other northern Rus' principalities (...). Ergo, Moscow (Muscovy) was a "northern Rus' principality" itself as well.
p. 428: The Eurasian school of thought (...) noted as well the dramatic change that took place in the political structure of the Rus' principalities during the period of Mongol domination over them and concluded that Mongol influence contributed in significant ways to the transformation of the northern Rus' principalities into a state unified around Moscow (...).
The same goes for its rival, the Principality of Tver, which arose in 1246, 6 years after Kievan Rus' collapsed, but is still called a Rus' principality in the early 14th century:
p. 429: Disturbed in the first decades of the fourteenth century by the growing might of Tver, the khan shifted his support to Moscow with the intention of keeping the Rus' principalities weak and divided, submissive and obedient.
In mainspace articles like List of tribes and states in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine (where Rus' principalities redirects) and in templates like Template:East Slavic principalities we already follow this understanding. Although there is much overlap, these categories are not the same things, and they should not be merged. NLeeuw (talk) 18:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We already have Category:Subdivisions of Kievan Rus', Category:Principalities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Category:Russian city-states. Why do we need another category? Mellk (talk) 13:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, this aren't the same notions, "Rus'" in general refers to Eastern Slavic Orthodox lands, Kievan Rus' was one of the Rus' states.Marcelus (talk) 12:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Medieval Bahraini people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent, confusing title for modern ears. In the middle ages Bahrain (historical region) was the name of Eastern Arabia. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Marcocapelle, I am afraid I am confused by this rationale. "Medieval" is certainly not the modern era, and if it was known as Bahrain (historical region) in the Medieval era, shouldn't the Medieval era follow that naming convention?

Nominator's rationale: delete, User:HistoryofIran reverted my addition of Ajami Nakhchivani to this category as "anachronistic". That is a fair point, Nakchivan was part of Iran-centered dynasties at the time. But if it is anachronistic for one article, it is also for the other. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:17, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks for making the nomination, as this is indeed anachronistic. For those interested, there is more information here [2] [3]. HistoryofIran (talk) 08:28, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, single-article isolated category and the 12th century is uncertain (it could be earlier). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
