- Nominator's rationale: rename to fit the format of others in Category:19th-century sportspeople. ( because the Colony of New Zealand existed from 3 May 1841 to 26 September 1907.) Mason (talk) 16:22, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

[edit]- 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 to delete, hence purge * Pppery * it has begun... 04:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: I don't think this is a defining characteristic of a person for categorization. - Altenmann >talk 07:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support, but copy the content of the category to Talk:Obsessive–compulsive disorder in order to allow expansion of the "notable cases" section in the article. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:44, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose. OCD is a disability, wikipedia considers disability to be a defining category under WP:EGRSD. Therefore, if OCD is to be considered trivial, I'd like a more serious discussion of why this particular disability is not defining under WP:EGRSD, unlike other disabilities (Category:People with mental disorders or Category:People with disabilities). If not kept, we should upmerge to Category:People with mental disorders or Category:People with disabilities. Mason (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- It is a fair point that we should have a look at the whole mental disorders tree. The problem is that incidentally people are notable especially because of their mental disorder but in most cases it is merely a footnote. A third group is criminals with mental disorders. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:41, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- That may be true that their notability doesn't have to do with their disability, but they are defining characteristic for the person. I'd also oppose deleting other mental disorders, as this could easily fall into a value judgment territory of why are psychological disabilities not defining, but physical disabilities are. Per, WP:EGRSD: "In general, Categorization by ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability is permitted." Mason (talk) 23:09, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- (Apologies if this sounds bludgeoning, that's not my intent...). It seems that there's already guidance on this, WP:DISABILITYCAT, specifically:
- "People with disabilities [...] and other [...] psychological [...] conditions, should not be added to subcategories of Category:People with disabilities, [...] or Category:People by medical or psychological condition unless that condition is considered WP:DEFINING for that individual. For example, there may be people who have amnesia, but if reliable sources don't regularly describe the person as having that characteristic, they should not be added to the category."
- Therefore, I'd support purging, but keep. Mason (talk) 13:02, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Paintings of Venice. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:38, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Paintings of Venice to Category:Cityscape paintings of Venice
- Nominator's rationale: Seems to be the same scope. I don't really care about the direction of the merge. On one hand, it should be a subcategory of Category:Cityscape paintings, on the other hand we have Category:Paintings of Paris and Category:Paintings of London by Claude Monet. Pichpich (talk) 22:15, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Having cityscape in the category name fits well with article Cityscape. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge Category:Cityscape paintings of Venice to Category:Paintings of Venice instead, for consistency with the child categories (Paintings of Venice by Canaletto and Paintings of Venice by Claude Monet) as well as Paintings of Paris, Paintings of Paris by Vincent van Gogh and Paintings of London by Claude Monet. Ham II (talk) 19:16, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reverse merge is certainly also a good option, per Ham II, provided that Category:Paintings of Venice will also be parented to Category:Cityscape paintings. I have tagged Category:Cityscape paintings of Venice as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

- @Pichpich: do you also agree with reverse merge? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Wait, you already said you don't care about the direction of merge. In that case there seems to be consensus for reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:21, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category. Mason (talk) 20:26, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: Containerize * Pppery * it has begun... 04:41, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCEGRS, trivial intersection with gender. There is no need to merge, all articles are also in the Māori tree in some other way. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose: ethnicity by gender categories are widespread (e.g. Category:African-American men, Category:Native American men, Category:European men and not obviously trivial in the manner of the examples cited in WP:OCEGRS, which doesn't actually provide a gender example. If the proposer wishes to change / define policy in this area, it would be better to start with a major category that will attract proper discussion, rather than one like this which few will notice). Gender is important in Maori culture and people are regularly noted specifically as being tane Maori or wahine Maori (Maori men or Maori women). The nominator has been preemptively moving men out of this category to Category:Māori tribal leaders, but the latter are sometimes women, so unless this category is deleted, these changes should be reverted. Furius (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Category:African-American men, Category:Native American men, Category:European men are container categories for specifically male occupations, that is very different from this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- This category also has a child occupation category and further occupation categories could be created for most of the other articles in it. Why is that the right approach for native Americans and Europeans, but not for Maori? Furius (talk) 16:27, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- The child category can be kept, it is not part of the nomination. The issue is with all the articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:36, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Clyde [trout needed] 02:13, 5 November 2023 (UTC)- So, why would this category be deleted rather than converted into a container category? Furius (talk) 00:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- There appear to be three subcategories now, that is a different situation. In that case containerizing may be a good alternative. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:16, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
