October 15

[edit]

Conflicts by millennium, century and decade up to 1000 AD

[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: No consensus. Timrollpickering 13:53, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Extended content
Nominator's rationale: rename/merge as follow-up on this previous discussion. In Antiquity and Middle Ages "conflicts" and "military history" nearly coincide in terms of Wikipedia content. In the previous discussion there was a preference to use the somewhat broader term "military history". This nomination only considers the period up to 1000 AD, because from there on the conflicts tree starts diffusing by year, so for the period of 1000-1499 there will be another follow-up nomination.

@Tim!, Oculi, Icewhiz, and Peterkingiron: pinging discussants in the previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC) [reply]
  • The amount of content in 1957 is entirely incomparable with ancient and medieval times. We have about 60 articles about treaties from the 5th century BC up to the 10th century AD, that is on average 0.3 articles on treaties per decade category. Of course any subcat always overlaps completely with a parent cat but here we have a case that the amount of content of the parent cat almost completely overlaps with one subcat, and this is what WP:OVERLAPCAT is about.

  • After all merging is completed the 10th century will contain 10 subcats by decade, 5 subcats by war‎, a fortifications subcat and a military units subcat. That is perfectly fine, isn't it? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is categorisation by caste, which we do not do. Some past history regarding the consensus is noted at User:Sitush/Common#Castecats. Sitush (talk) 08:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:People from the City of Leeds. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:44, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a people category for a village; currently contains only one article, Robin Blaze. Note: if this is not merged, then the London category People from Shadwell should be disambiguated. – Fayenatic London 07:29, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films shot in the Czech Republic

[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, without prejudice to a creation of Category:Films shot in Czechoslovakia. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:41, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Some of these films, especially in the subcat, were actually shot before the establishment of Czech Republic, and a geographic category makes more sense anyway. Catrìona (talk) 07:22, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. For films shot in Czechoslovakia, we can have a separate category "Films shot in Czechoslovakia", no need to be overly creative here with terms like "Čechija" or "Czech lands".--Darwinek (talk) 19:49, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose A Czechoslovakia category makes more sense. It was a relatively long-lived state (1918–1939, 1945–1992), while both theCzech Republic and Slovakia have had a very short lifespan. Dimadick (talk) 07:15, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:40, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The parent category, Category:Sri Lankan uniforms, is completely empty except for containing this subcategory. Since this category also only has one article in it, should we simply merge this category to its main parent category? – numbermaniac 06:13, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:38, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split, the word 'classical' is normally used only for the Greek and Roman civilizations as such (besides Classical Greece preceded Hellenism), I have never seen it been used for countries in the Middle East in the Hellenistic or Roman era. Since we already have a Greek and Roman category in this case, the content can simply be dispersed. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:44, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - technically speaking this category was created by me from the understanding that Classical Syria refers to classical era period in the area of modern Syria and Israel/Jordan/Palestine/Lebanon can have similar categories. When rejecting this notion, then perhaps the best fit for Classical Israel is category:Hasmonean Kingdom which was generally named "Israel" during the period.GreyShark (dibra) 06:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at 2018 OCT 23 CFD. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:54, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: too thin for an eponymous category. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Mills was an important figure in 20th century sociology. There are books that he has written and concepts that he has introduced that should make it into Wikipedia as articles (The Causes of World War Three and Listen, Yankee, for a start). By coincidence, I have recently started a draft at Draft:Abstracted empiricism, which has a heading in the Oxford Dictionary of Sociology. bd2412 T 12:46, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
