- Nominator's rationale: Pre-1900 isn't very helpful or clear. I'm very open for alternative same. Mason (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Upmerge to Category:Pacific hurricane seasons and Category:19th-century meteorology, only three articles in this category. If kept, rename per nom, as 19th century fits well in the category tree while pre-1900 does not. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Janów Podlaski Stud. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This category is a mixture of the Janów Podlaski farm and the village which bears the same name (Janów Podlaski). Pretty much nothing in here is defined by the village OR the farm, and does not help with navigation Mason (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I created this when I was researching the area, just to save anyone else the trouble and also hopefully so that others would add further articles to the category. It didn't seem any different from other geographic categories, but I have no particular view on whether it stays or goes.--Northernhenge (talk) 21:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose deletion: Correcting nom, the category is not a mixture, though the article mentions both village and stud. There are no members of this category that are not related to the stud farm; they are all articles about horses born at the stud, or stallions breeding there, or related articles. I suggest renaming the category to Category:Janów Podlaski Stud, and putting it under Category:Horse farms. The Janów Podlaski Stud is well known, more so than the village. The stud is a Historic Monument of Poland. Search google scholar for "Janów Podlaski Stud" and you get hundreds of results. I'm not sure why no one has yet created a wiki article for the Janów Podlaski stud, but there's one in Polish-wiki, pl:Stadnina Koni Janów Podlaski. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 09:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC) Okay, okay, you twisted my arm... I'm working on translating the article here: Draft:Janów Podlaski Stud Farm. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 01:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per I am Grorp. There is enough regional distinction in this area and enough articles to justify a category. Montanabw(talk) 15:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: rename?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 21:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Though this might well need renaming, that is not the nomination. There are two oppositions to the nomination and no additional comments during one relist period, so I am unsure why you relisted it. If you want to rename it to Category:Janów Podlaski Stud, I'm sure no one would object. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 22:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Janów Podlaski Stud, or perhaps even better, to Category:Horses of Janów Podlaski Stud, per actual content of the category. It almost only contains articles about horses. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:32, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with either rename. Mason (talk) 22:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not "Horses of", because I can conceive of placing other types of articles in that category. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 01:00, 27 March 2024 (UTC) Currently there are 2 towns, 1 man, a horse breed article, and another stud categorized there. Shortly will be the main article for the stud, Draft:Janów Podlaski Stud Farm, and the Polish wiki has 7 or so articles for men associated with this stud that might get translated to English wiki. So naming it "Horses of" would be wrong today, and wrong in the future. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

- Propose splitting Category:Horse farms in Austria to Category:Horse farms and Category:Farms in Austria
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's not need to diffuse horse farms to this degree (as in every country gets a farm). Upmerge categories with one or two members Mason (talk) 19:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

CommentOppose: Note that most of the category members are nation-owned stud farms for breeds of horse originating in those countries, or are facilities of historical interest. These aren't just "farms". The word "splitting" made no sense to me because I checked each one of the articles, and all but maybe two are already in their second "farm" categories. As long as you change them from [Category:Horse farms in _______] to Category:Horse farms (so they are not lost), then I'm okay with the change. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 08:26, 11 March 2024 (UTC) Changing 'comment' to opposed' based on Montanabw's rationale as well as my own reading since I wrote the above. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 23:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)- Oppose: The stud farms in these European nations are quite distinct entities from mere “farms.” The historic importance of these places was often linked to training animals for military purposes. It would be sort of like merging “military contractors” into “factories.” Montanabw(talk) 15:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Horse farms is a subcategory of Category:Types of farms. Is that wrong? If that is a reason to oppose, then just merge to Agricultural organizations of country instead of Farms of country. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Though someone named these categories "horse farms" in English Wikipedia, the correct term in English is "stud farm". Our word "farm" connotes agriculture related to food production. However, stud farms were the genetic source for transportation and other elite activities, never a food source, which puts them in an entirely different category to other types of "farming". I'm not sure how other [non-English] languages handle it and whether there is a common word like "farm" tying together two different types of concepts (food versus transport) or if there is a clear distinction in those languages, but a quick skip through google translation tells me they don't. (en:stud farm/farm, sp: ganadería/granja, fr:haras/ferme, de:Gestüt/Bauernhof, hu:ménesbirtok/Farm, pl:stadnina koni/gospodarstwo rolne) ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 18:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- According to Stud farm, they are for breeding rather than for transport. I'd say that still makes them a type of farm. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Facepalm. For breeding (genetics), not raising as agricultural commodities. From Farm:
with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production
. The WP:WikiProject Transport editors would argue that horses were primarily "power"; transportation machines for riding, or pulling objects. Also, cats, dogs, tigers, and many other animal species are "bred" but not "farmed". "Breeding" is not identical to "farming", though farming livestock certainly involves breeding. I don't know why you are arguing this. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 23:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)- Reports of puppy farms (on Wikipedia as Puppy mill) use the term "farm" in a negative way, whereas the term dog breeder (can't quickly find an article other than Dog breeding) has more of a "stud" connotation. In the UK, I've never heard anyone say "horse farm" but if they did, I'd assume either they were being negative, so equivalent to puppy farm, or neutral about food production in countries where they eat horses. Regarding transport, there must have been a term used to describe mass production of horses when they were used in enormous numbers for transport, but I don't know what that term would have been. Farm might have made sense then. I agree that stud is a much better term than farm for specialist horse breeding as distinct from mass production. --Northernhenge (talk) 11:08, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Grorp Do you have an alternative target for merging? Mason (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: I don't see why it needs merging at all. Is there some policy requiring there to be 2 entries before you can create a category similar to other categories on the subject? For those of us who work in the "horse breed" topic, we know our breeds by their place of origin. If you remove each country category that only has 1 or 2 entries, and lump them all together under Category:Horse farms, then we would have to click on every single one of them to find, say, stud farms in Russia. I don't think removing any of these subcategories improves anything, and you will instead lose what I would consider valuable information. It's not like these stud farm articles are overcategorized. I don't think there's anything in WP:Categorization or WP:Overcategorization that says we can't have subcategories with a single entry in them. I consider the subcategorization by country valuable information. You may not be interested in horse breeds, history/origin of horse breeds, or breeding in various countries, but some people are and this is not fancruft... it's history. I went through every article and made sure they weren't categorized in both Farm and Horse farms (unless they were both). ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 01:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- So the purpose of categories is to help navigation. But I would like to know where you thing these categories should belogn. If these categories do not belong in farms, where should they be nested? @Grorp Mason (talk) 01:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- I like how they are currently done. But maybe we're not not talking the same language? I understand H:CATS. There is nothing in WP:CFD that explains "splitting". WP:CI was zero help. And I read through WP:CAT. There just doesn't seem to be any explanation of "splitting". My interpretation of your original suggestion was to remove/delete the [Category:Horse farms in countryX] if the category has only 1 entry, and recategorize its article with [Category:Horse farms] plus [Category:Farms in countryX]. If that's not what the proposal meant, then please explain "propose splitting". If I understood you correctly, then no... don't do it. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 04:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- 1) The nomination is to "upmerge for now". There is a problem with how one of the tools works, that it labeling as spilt instead of merge.
- 2) I don't understand why you aren't answering my question. It seems like much of your argument is that Horse farms aren't farms. I am trying to understand where the category should be nested if does not belong in farms. Hence I have asked: "If these categories do not belong in farms, where should they be nested?" You saying that you like it as is, is not helpful. I am trying to understand your perspective on the category. This is a sperate issue than whether the category gets upmerged or not. If the current structure is wrong, then I would like to understand what is the problem. Mason (talk) 01:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

- (1) Well that's messed up; split and merge are opposites. But thanks for explaining that. (2) Stud farm articles belong more to Category:Horse breeding and studs than they ever would to Category:Farms, but Category:Horse farms is already under both. And I'm not sure why it's important to not also have them under Category:Farms. Maybe the solution is with diffusing/nondiffusing subcategories (a concept which is still hard to wrap my head around but seems to be related to this issue), making Category:Horse breeding and studs the primary 'parent' category of Category:Horse farms, and Category:Farms one of those alternative 'parent' categories of Category:Horse farms. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 07:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep all no compelling reason in the nom. As the above discussion shows, the naming here is dubious. "Horse farm" is just not a thing in British English, and has no article. A search on the term shows many places that were "horse farms" in the US & elsewhere in the 19th century or before, when mass-breeding of working horse was a thing. Current places that are notable tend not to use "horse farm", even in the US, and can be divided into stud farms or racing stables, with some overlap. Probably our categories should be re-arranged this way. Johnbod (talk) 14:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- My experience in this area is not significant, but my impression was that a horse farm usually (but not quite always, especially in terms of simple searches; see "one-horse farm") means a stud farm, and horse farming means that you have an ordinary old-fashioned farm with a horse to pull the plow (as contrasted with tractor farming). This is sufficiently confusing that I could wish for completely different names in these categories. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:56, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Why was this relisted? The nomination is based on "not needed" and there are two simple "agree per nom" votes, and four very strong "oppose the nom" votes with reasoning. Though there is some discussion that something could be done with the categories, there is still a clear consensus of opposition to the nomination. So why has this been relisted? ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 22:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Both categories could be useful. For example there is Category:Hideo Kojima and multiple sub-categories for video games and other article types.

- Nominator's rationale: New category, intersection of where someone is from and where they live and what they do and what their gender is. WP:NONDEF or WP:NARROWCAT or at least some form of WP:OVERCAT? I just realized there are others like these, I may go searching for them and add them later, or others are welcome to. Largoplazo (talk) 11:17, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- The parent and sibling category of male actors were tagged too, so I took the liberty to add them in the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- If not kept, merge to Category:American expatriates in England and e.g. Category:American expatriate male actors in the United Kingdom. As the latter categories have not been nominated, the content should not be removed from each of these trees. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've added the UK categories to the nomination. Largoplazo (talk) 15:13, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, then for the last two the merge targets becomes Category:American expatriates in the United Kingdom and for all four gendered categories the second merge target becomes Category:American expatriate male actors or Category:American expatriate actresses. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Category:American female winemakers
- 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: keep. I am convinced by the arguments in opposition, who provided evidence that being a female winemaker is a defining characteristic. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:23, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:American female winemakers to Category:American winemakers
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. I don't think this meets the criteria under EGRS at the intersection of gender, occupation, and nationality. I've already added everyone to an American women category. Mason (talk) 04:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, trivial intersection between occupation and gender. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Hardly "trivial" here. It's not even as if there's a global Category:Female winemakers to merge into. Johnbod (talk) 15:23, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Johnbod How is it defining, under EGRS? Mason (talk) 18:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- What is this EGRS you keep talking about? Would renaming to Category:Female winemakers help with the bureaucracy? It seems to me we ought to have such a category. Johnbod (talk) 18:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Probably Wikipedia:Categorizing articles about people, which says: “As another example, a female heads of government category is valid as a topic of special encyclopedic interest, though it does not need to be balanced directly against a "Male heads of government" category, as historically the vast majority of political leaders have been male.” So if historically the vast majority of winemakers have been male, there is an argument in favour of keeping this category. It should be a member of Category:Female winemakers though, and then – for example – we’d need Category:German female winemakers etc etc. There are presumably too many of them to put everyone into a single category. --Northernhenge (talk) 20:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not, it seems, with articles on Wikipedia. A global Category:Female winemakers would, probably should, be set up, to keep the gender aspect alive. It would (see below) not be enormous. Johnbod (talk) 01:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Northernhenge has found the gender specific example. But more broadly, @Johnbod, Wikipedia:EGRS requires that the intersection be defining. In other words, "where that combination is itself recognized as a defining topic that has already been established in sources as academically or culturally significant in its own right." So there has to be evidence/sources to support the argument that the intersection between being female and being a winemaker is defining. Mason (talk) 20:46, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- The paucity of articles in the other national winemaker cats is very strong evidence for this: only 2-3 in Italy (including Countess Cinzano, who inherited), amazingly only one in the 68 Australians, and she married an owner. The 67 French are similar - a couple of inheritances, & only Christine Barbe, whose career has all been in California. The only Spanish female is "María Isabel Mijares García-Pelayo (1942 – 10 February 2024) was a Spanish oenologist. She was considered the first woman in the profession and the first woman to run a winery in Spain.[1] It would be nice if we could disentangle "vineyard owners" from "winemakers" who know one end of a syphon pipe from the other, but I don't suppose we can.

- Keep as defining, a Google books search for female winemakers finds four books that look like reliable sources, all from 2000 or later.
- Crushed by Women: Women and Wine (Jeni Port, 2000)
- Women of Wine: The Rise of Women in the Global Wine Industry (Ann B. Matasar, 2006)
- Women Winemakers: Personal Odysseys (Lucia Albino Gilbert, John C. Gilbert, 2020)
- Women of the Vine: Inside the World of Women Who Make, Taste, and Enjoy Wine (Deborah Brenner, 2007) TSventon (talk) 03:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- And do those sources refer specifically to American women?
- The conundrum here is that, per Johnbod, we don't actually have a generic "female winemakers" category, and we need to establish whether that is an oversight first. Because it's difficult to establish that being a woman in the winemaking industry is a particularly notable thing in the United States relative to the wider world. And even then, the reason that we don't have a blanket "women in occupation X" exception is because the main reason for most of those categories to be small is the historical tendency for society to discourage women from running businesses, which is more a society thing than a women thing. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 06:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not really; once we have "a generic "female winemakers" category", as we now do, whether a diffusion to a US national category is viable is simply a matter of numbers. No special sources for US examples are needed, though it is utterly unsurprising that WhatamIdoing has very kindly been able to find some (see below). And no doubt US women figure largely in the non-specific books TSventon found above, for which also thanks. I think our work here is done. Johnbod (talk) 04:09, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that the main issue is whether there should be a generic "female winemakers" category, so I have created Category:Women winemakers. American women winemakers are likely to be most numerous as the US has the largest wine industry in an English speaking country and there are a lot of American editors on en Wikipedia. TSventon (talk) 14:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! It is easy to see they are the most numerous, & at present no other national sub-cats seem likely to survive the Cfd Eye of Mordor. Johnbod (talk) 23:05, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, at least for now. There are books like Wine Country Women of Napa Valley (ISBN 978-1944903183) and journal articles like doi:10.1111/1468-0424 "Donne in the Vineyards: Italian‐American Women in the California Wine Industry" that are exclusively about women making wine in the US.

Category:Assassinated Burundian monarchs
- 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:Burundian kings and Category:Assassinated Burundian people. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Assassinated Burundian monarchs to Category:Burundian kings and Category:Assassinated Burundian people
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one monard in here, which isn't helpful for navigation Mason (talk) 20:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Did you check PetScan to see if there are more? Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 22:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- I did not check petscan in this case. But I did look through all the assassinated Burundian people to see if there were any other monarchs I had missed. Mason (talk) 01:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Did you check PetScan to see if there are more? Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 22:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. Traditionally some "by nationality" categories only have one entry. This is because the full by nationality tree is intended to contain all nationalities intersecting with the topic. I think leaving out categories from the parent Category:Assassinated monarchs by nationality only because they have one or few entries provides for incomplete information regarding the topic of assassinated monarchs.
- The intention is to build it up collaboratively in time to include all nations where at least one monarch was assassinated. I do think that having a separate category with only one or few entries in a parent category "by nationality" aids in navigation because the reader can simply browse through the nationality category looking for relevant assassinated monarchs. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 00:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge, also because it is odd to ghettoize monarchs of a nationality in an assassinated subcategory and separate them from non-assassinated monarchs. This is more something for lists. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:05, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, it makes me think we should mark assassinated categories as non-diffusing so that assassinated folks aren't ghettoized. Mason (talk) 01:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't agree with this drive to limit diffusion of categories so much. There are niche interests of readers for a variety of reasons. From specialized researchers to specific interests or intellectual needs. Although I understand NotEverything, I also understand that diffusing assassinated monarchs by nationality is reasonable because assassination of monarchs is of historical interest and the assassination of monarchs in their nations is something notable in its own. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 00:29, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Thinker78 What do you think about marking the assassination categories as non-diffusing for monarchs of that nationality? Mason (talk) 00:08, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Example? Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 02:11, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand your request for an example, but I will try my best.@Thinker78 For example, Assassinated Burundian monarchs is a diffusing category of Burundian monarchs, which means that if a Burundian monarch is assassinated they are removed from Burundian monarchs category and placed in the Assassinated Burundian monarchs category. However, because there is only one assassinated Burundian monarch, that means that monarch is isolated from the rest of the monarchs. And it makes them hidden away from people interested in Burundian monarchs, regardless of their cause of death. If the category were not diffusing, then the assassinated Burundian monarch would also be in the Burundian monarch category, making it easier to find Burundian monarchs, but also allowing people who are interested in assassinations to find that information. Mason (talk) 19:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I understand your concern. The solution would be listing the monarch in both the "Burundian monarchs" and the "Assassinated burundian monarchs" categories. I point out that your concern is something I have often thought about when placing a page in a subcategory, removing it from a parent category. That's why I initially left pages in both a parent category and a subcategory and I still have mixed feelings about the situation.
- According to WP:PARENTCAT,
articles should rarely be placed in both a given category and any of its sub- or parent (super-) categories.
- I guess this case could fit under "rarely", given your concerns. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 20:20, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- Hi @Smasongarrison - I see your nomination, but I am not sure why deletion? Do you think there should be between Category:Dyne Foundation > Dyne Foundation software >...actual individual software pages like it is with Category:Google for example...I am not sure that applies better then category Category:Blender Foundation (also Dutch also FLOSS). Curious to hear your arguments and recommendations! Have a good Easter weekend :-) Zblace (talk) 06:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I proposed deletion rather than merging or renaming because I think this category doesn't meet the criteria for WP:defining. A good rule of thumb is whether the category name would be used in the lead of the article (by a random editor, not merely the category creator). Consider Devuan's lead, (and ignoring the fact that the Dyne Foundation isn't mentioned anywhere in the text).
Devuan is a fork of the Debian Linux distribution that uses sysvinit, runit or OpenRC instead of systemd.[3][4][5][6] Devuan aims to avoid "lock-in" by projects like systemd[7][8] and aims to maintain compatibility with other init systems to avoid detaching Linux from other Unix systems.
- I can't envision a plausible scenario in which the Dyne Foundation would be mentioned in the lead. "The fork is maintained by the Dyne Foundation." But I don't see how that would be relevant, nor am I sure that that statement is true. If the Dyne Foundation had brand recognitation, maybe... but even that would be hard to fit it. It doesn't seem relevant to the lead. Mason (talk) 19:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- Propose splitting Category:21st-century Danish pharmacists to Category:Danish pharmacists and Category:21st-century pharmacists
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There is only one person in this category, which is unhelpful for navigation Mason (talk) 01:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
