Category:Bills (government debt)

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: WP:SOFTDELETE, redirecting to Category:Government bonds and merging the contents to Category:Government bonds issued by France / US. The defenders of this category have not demonstrated that it has a useful meaning distinct from Govt bonds. – Fayenatic London 06:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, it doesn't contain any specific bills and the one overview article in this category is in the right categories already. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:21, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep BTF (finance) was in the category until Marcocapelle removed it last week. jnestorius(talk) 14:09, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the partitioning of treasury securities in treasury bills, treasury notes, treasury bonds and TIPS is exclusively American; the French article BTF is about "bons" which simply translates as "coupons". Marcocapelle (talk) 04:12, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The BTF (finance) article begins "BTFs (Bons du Trésor à taux fixe et à intérêts précomptés) are fixed-rate short-term discount Treasury bills". If that is incorrect then it is more important to change the text than merely to change the category. A meaningful edit summary explaining one's reasoning is also helpful for other users. jnestorius(talk) 22:26, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and populate (unless someone can suggest a merge target). I am not clear about the structure of US government debt, but the kind of which I have most usually heard are government bonds. The article implies bills are a wider category than bonds. In UK, 18th century wars were financed by Ordnance Debentures and Navy Bills, both of which were issued by government agencies when payment for a supply was authorised but could not yet be made: they were paid in the order in which they were issued. A person wanting early payment could sell his bill, and an active market existed. I do not know whether we have articles on these, but they could go in the category.

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. – Fayenatic London 20:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only two articles in this category. Note that both articles are already in Category:18th-century Dutch scientists as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:13, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This should not be surprising. The amount of articles in the 17th century is exceptionally large for such a small country, and this is correlated with the Dutch Golden Age. The 18th century in contrast was a stage of decline in the Dutch Republic. Actually more surprising is the fact that there are hardly any 18th-century inventors from other countries in the parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Laws affecting youth rights

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: something must be done, so split Category:Laws affecting youth rights mostly to Category:Children's rights instruments (international conventions) and Category:Children's rights legislation, then rename what's left to Category:Juvenile case law, and restructure them all under the existing sibling Category:Juvenile law. – Fayenatic London 07:31, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Laws affecting X" seems like a poor phrasing. Suggest renaming to fix it. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:57, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
