Nominator's rationale: Either rename this or rename the rest of similar categories in Category:Scottish Gaelic language to have the world “language” included. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep Timrollpickering (talk) 11:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For the bulk of items in these categories, it appears that inclusion is determined through some subjective judgement of editorial line. I believe that WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and possibly WP:OPINIONCAT apply here; we shouldn't have separate categories for progressive, conservative, liberal etc. publications. It's true that for a small number of the items the categorisation seems more clearly fitting (The Angelus (magazine) is the official publication of the SSPX, a traditionalist group; The Remnant (newspaper) describes itself as traditional and promotes Lefebvre and other prominent traditionalists), but then the issue is WP:SMALLCAT.

Nominator's rationale: All of these categories fail WP:OCEGRS as intersections of nationality, ancestry, and occupation. User:Namiba 12:41, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How does this not apply? "Dedicated group-subject subcategories, such as Category:LGBT writers or Category:African-American musicians, should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right." In other words, how are these intersections of Nationality, occupation, and ethnicity recognized as distinct and unique topics in their own rights?--User:Namiba 15:15, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animal industrial complex

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 Timrollpickering (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Creating this (edit:recent) category populated with every human use of animals or animal products seems like an exercise in POV to me. If it only contained articles about animal rights that would be ok, but we already have category:animal rights. SpinningSpark 11:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Agriculture's text says "Agriculture, also known as farming, is ...". DexDor (talk) 20:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If a rename would also involve changing the articles in the category, the category text and the parent categories (which currently include e.g. Crime) then it's better just to delete. DexDor (talk) 06:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • General comment, in the end it does not really matter whether the discussion closes as delete(merge) or rename, because like DexDor says if deleted(merged) I can (re)create the category as Category:Animal keeping by humans with the right articles and the right parents, unless there are specific objections against a category like that. But I do not see any such objections yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The WP:POV nature of this creation is shown by some of the parent categories it has been put in; category:abuse, category:crimes, category:cruelty, category:discrimination. None of these are defining features of "animal industrial complex". It is clear that the editor wants to say, in Wikipedia's voice, that all commercial use of animals by humans is a bad thing. That's besides the question of whether all these disparate things can neutrally be grouped together as something amounting to a "complex". SpinningSpark 08:33, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This attempt to create a bridge between Beekeeping, Silk, Selective breeding or Animal-powered transport on one side and Crimes, Cruelty, Discrimination and even Capitalism on the other side, and calling it an industrial complex, shows how POV and fringe-leaning material this is. This redirect discussion may be worth reading, in which the authors of this category and eponymous article explain that what they call the 'animal industrial complex' is the non-human analogue of capitalism. As suggested in the RfD discussion, authors should probably establish in the article realm how reliable sources link this notion to capitalism, exploitation, cruelty, prejudice etc. before they can be considered defining enough for a Wikipedia category. Place Clichy (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I think that the base article articulates a point-of-view but putting a category seems to endorse that point-of-view. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- This is an ATTACK category. It is legitimate to have the main article (as an article), but the whole concept is a highly fringe political POV one and should not have a category. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:05, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from West Berlin

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. bibliomaniac15 19:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Very few articles. None of the subjects are really defined as "from West Berlin". Clearly it would be possible to populate the category, but I'm not convinced it's useful. There is a similar Category:People from East Berlin‎ and that has a lot more articles and many of the subjects clearly have a defining relationship with the political situation of East Berlin, so I do think that should be kept. Rathfelder (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but this should be a historic category for notable people who were resident in the decades before the removal of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In the period when Berlin was divided which part a person was in was highly defining. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:21, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge unless it is feasible to restructure this to a container category. Politicians of the West Berlin government would be part of it for a start, but I do not know if any other types of subcategories would fit. Other than that, most West Berlin people will also have lived in an undivided Berlin part of their life, either before the division or after the reunification, so that "people from Berlin" makes perfect sense for them. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • At present it is not a category for notable people who were resident. Its a category for people who are notable for something they did elsewhere but were born in West Berlin. I've been through several hundred articles of people from Berlin. "West Berlin" is hardly ever mentioned, even for people who lived there while the Wall was there. However the situation is different for people who lived in East Berlin at that time, as many of those articles talk about East Berlin, and so I am populating Category:People from East Berlin‎. Clearly West Berlin was much less isolated. Coming from East Berlin was defining. I'm not convinced that coming from West Berlin was. People from West Berlin could and did move to other places. People from the East got shot when they tried to do that. There dont seem to be any separate categories for East or West Berlin politicians or institutions. The Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin article and its members category runs on from 1951 to today. Rathfelder (talk) 21:47, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete Timrollpickering (talk) 11:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C2F, categories with only one eponymous article
The only things in these categories are the main articles (which don't mention the sailors) and two biography articles each (that don't even mention the club and should therefore be removed from the categories). I didn't feel able to use a speedy nomination for a category I just purged though. All the biography articles about Olympic sailors so I'm assuming they either trained at, or received an award from, or were members of these clubs. But, even if you added that connection, it would leave us with either WP:PERFCAT, WP:OCAWARD, or WP:OCASSOC. I listed the current contents in each main article talk page, here and here, so no work is lost if anyone wants to pursue whatever this is. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
