Category:Jewish doctors

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. Almost all of the !votes for not merging amounted to a view that the split was useful. As noted, that quite a subjective standard. Conversely, those in favour of merging cited a guideline, WP:OCEGRS, and these categories seem to come squarely within that guideline. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is historical justification for Category:Jewish physicians, but not for splitting it into medical specialities. If this is agreed I am happy to check that all the articles are in appropriate subcategories of Category:Medical doctors by specialty and nationality Rathfelder (talk) 11:09, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; it's helpful to split up the 67 articles about Jewish physicians into their various specialties. If you're looking for a Jewish physician, and you know he was an neurologist, what's the benefit of making you wade through the immunologists and the military doctors? Nyttend backup (talk) 12:24, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per WP:OCEGRS, trivial intersections with ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:18, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Nyttend backup above. Useful differentiation. --Just N. (talk) 12:44, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the categories seem well populated and the most articles seem to have both the profession and Jewish faith/heritage cited. Merging at this point would just create larger and more confusing categories. As this is an intersection of religion/heritage and occupation, the old boring argument of WP:OCEGRS will inevitably be brought up, but in this case at least I believe that these categories are useful.

Category:Century Association

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:17, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT
The Century Association is a private supper club in New York City. The only other article in this category, Charles Reid (painter), cites is obituary that he joined the club in 1988 (and has a painting hung up there) but that's a pretty weak basis for a category. WP:SMALLCAT isn't an issue though as the main article lists other members like Dwight D. Eisenhower and Franklin D. Roosevelt; rather the problem is that simple membership in a private club is just not defining and won't aid navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People for whom the U.S. Navy named ships

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:17, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:SHAREDNAME
The U.S. Navy names ships after prominent (usually) deceased Americans baving streets, schools and ships named after someone is not defining and creates a category with nothing else in common. I can't imagine a Wikipedia reader who would want a direct navigational path between John F. Kennedy, Sacagawea and the Wright brothers. This might work under Category:Lists of ships of the United States so I copied all the category contents right here so no work is lost if another editors wants to start a list. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Background We've deleted similar categories, including here, here, and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for me, this is a nondefining award (t · c) buidhe 06:16, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Also, given the size of List of current ships of the United States Navy, this is woefully underpopulated even among current ships, let alone those decommissioned during the last almost-250 years. To me that suggests that this isn't a particularly useful category, definingness aside. Nyttend backup (talk) 12:22, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retain The fact that this category is "woefully underpopulated" is related to the fact that it has only existed for a few hours, not related to the validity of the category. The first editor to coment says that ships have been named after prominent people. But who is seen as prominent, especially to Naval decision makers, has changed over the years. Note, for example, that a ship was recently named after Harvey Milk, certainly a reflection of changing attitudes considering that Milk claimed he was dishonorablly discharged from the Navy. A category like this is of interest for those who want to study trends in the politics of recognition and such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete unseth (talk • contribs)
But this category just groups biographies together regardless of when a ship was named and can't show that naming policy evolution like an article could with dates and citations. I made a copy of the contents because I agree there's a potentially notable topic here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:47, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
