January 10

edit

NEW NOMINATIONS

edit

Category:Events about intersex

edit
Rename
At speedy, User:LIrala proposed option A but I would rather go for option B. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:23, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maritime disasters in Kent

edit
Nominator's rationale: Merge with parent category because I'm not sure if this has anything to do directly with Kent. The waters off Kent or near it but not with it. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:32, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Dolní Bousov

edit
Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 09:41, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:52, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Introductions by year

edit
Nominator's rationale: merge, isolated mostly single-article categories, unhelpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge at least the ones without subcategories. You gatta be careful with the subcategories, since some are big enough on their own — Category:Literary characters introduced in 1599, for example, contains 7 pages. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:33, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ante-Nicene Christian martyrs

edit
Nominator's rationale: per parent Category:Ancient Christian saints and Category:Ancient Christians. Also, the category tree contains articles well beyond the First Council of Nicaea. For example Abda and Abdisho died in 376. After the rename, Category:5th-century Christian martyrs can be added as a subcategory too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: isn't there a distinct purpose in a category for Christians martyred prior to the widespread adoption of Christianity in the Roman Empire? I realize that the date for this is a bit fuzzy, but the Council of Nicaea seems as reasonable a date as any. Those martyred afterward would seem to have been martyred for different reasons—perhaps a case could be made for including those martyred by Romans who had yet to convert, though Abda and Abdisho apparently were martyred for a different reason and beyond Roman borders, so they and some others could probably be removed from this category.
Perhaps the solution could be a category titled "Ancient Christian martyrs" with a subcategory for Ante-Nicene martyrs, and which would separately include late Roman (or other) martyrs such as Abda and Abdisho. That would simply be a revision to the "martyr tree", so to speak. I note that I come at this from a non-Christian perspective; I am not particularly fond of the concept of martyrdom, but it is a valid topic in religious history, and it seems to make sense to distinguish between those who were martyred due to anti-Christian persecution by Romans and those martyred post-persecution elsewhere (*wonders if there are Post-Nicene pagan martyrs*). If this category is not preserved, then that distinction would be lost, and probably not to the benefit of the reader. P Aculeius (talk) 11:52, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are enough articles just mentioning a death in the 4th century without specifying whether it was before or after 325, so the distinction isn't clear anyway. Besides Christianity became an accepted religion quite a few years before Nicaea. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:52, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vaporware video games

edit
Nominator's rationale: There is a variety of issues that I have with this category: First of all, someone has removed titles that have been released a couple months back like Team Fortress 2 or Duke Nukem Forever. Also, vaporware is only a slang term for software that is takes very long to make and is often simply left abandoned (this may cause confusion with the similar term abandonware). The status of individual games in this category also varies: some are currently in active development and have not confirmed to be cancelled, some are just simply officially cancelled, while others are unreleased unknowingly cancelled. This could actually make for a new Unreleased video games category; which would only include video games that are unreleased yet not known to be officially cancelled. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:17, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Future dialects

edit
Nominator's rationale: Highly dubious categorization; no "catmain" and I could not find any scholarly sources for the sublect. Not to say that not a single item is about a dialect, but about a work of fiction in which allegedly a new dialect is introduced. --Altenmann >talk 03:54, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Guancha

edit
Nominator's rationale: According to WoRMS, Guancha has been synonymized with Clathrina. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:16, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Communities named for Preston Brooks

edit
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCASSOC, WP:SHAREDNAME, & WP:NONDEFINING
Preston Brook really had nothing to do with these 3 towns other than them being later named in his honor. While it's astonishing that communities are still named after him, it's not defining. The biography article mentions the 3 towns, and the town articles mention him, should any reader be interested in this naming topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Travelers Protective Association of America

edit
Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT, WP:OCASSOC, & WP:MFN
The only articles in this category are Travelers Protective Association of America and First Christian Church (Clinton, Kentucky). The latter is included because members of the TPAA donated a stained glass window. (No objection to recreating later should more content emerge.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Electronics industry in the Philippines

edit
Nominator's rationale: Contains only a navbox, whose only contents are companies. Abandoned by its creator, and initially had itself as a subcategory. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:37, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:IAC (company)

edit
Nominator's rationale: Rename, main article has been at IAC Inc. for over a year. UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:International baseball competitions in Europe by year

edit
Nominator's rationale: Nothing about these categories is "by year". Completely redundant categories that are not needed. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/delete per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:33, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An Alternate suggestion would be to rename as "Seasons in X" rather than "X per Year", since that is what essentially end up being categorized, rather than per initially intentioned names. Respublik (talk) 07:35, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
