The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated, but keep Category:Athletes by location in Greece. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge; only one category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:52, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Category:Athletes by location in Greece, I've populated it so the nomination is no longer valid. Should do the same for the rest. --Habst (talk) 14:33, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 19:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Habst, if you can populate the rest as well, I will withdraw the nomination. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Historic buildings and structures in Ireland

[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: delete HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:SUBJECTIVECAT)
In addition to being subjective, these categories really haven't been used. The only loose articles are in the parent category which has two buildings and two former buildings (1, 2, 3, 4). I added more categories to all 4 to make it easier for readers to find them and the existing Irish and UK heritage register categories are a more defining and neutral way of grouping articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:28, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sportspeople and century categories

[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 for the 19th century categories (see WP:TRAINWRECK). There is no prejudice against speedy renomination, though individual discussions (or at least smaller discussions) would clearly be more productive. Delete the 20th and 21st century categories. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 04:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per a number of previous CfDs (e.g. Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_12#20th/21st-century_sportspeople), organizing sportspersons by century is seen as not helpful. At the end of that discussion, someone proposed that more of these categories should be subsequently nominated, but I don't believe that has happened, so I am doing so now. I am bundling a number of categories together and I think the dynamics of them are generally all the same, but note that I have excluded Category:20th-century sailors, which seems to have naval officers mixed into it; the bizarre subcategories of Category:20th-century English cricketers, which seems to merit its own nomination; and some of these ethnic/national categories like Category:Czechoslovak sportspeople who only existed in the 20th-century, but I don't think these should be deleted, as they are clearly part of a different scheme. There are also similar schemes for chess and Go, which I've left alone as they are more extensive and not actually sports, so it introduces noise about including them in any sports-related category. From what I see, this will not leave any orphan categories or something that cannot be logically navigated from another scheme and for what it's worth, I created at least one of these and think they should all go. Lastly, I of course have no prejudice against listifying some of these, but I'll leave that up to anyone who feels particularly motivated to do it. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per request, I am pinging anyone I've seen participating in previous discussions, including some that were deletes on some of the above categories and someone saw fit to recreate, such as Category:20th-century cricketers which was recreated by User:Smasongarrison without any apparent consensus to un-delete, but can tell us below if there was and I've missed it. Please inform us why you recreated this deleted material. Any omissions are accidents, except in the case of deceased users (RIP). ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per request, here are some relevant CfDs re: sportspersons and by-century categories. Any omissions are purely ignorance on my part. Other users please do inform me if there are relevant CfDs on this topic that I've missed. As I noted above, there is a broad consensus against these in most, if not all, cases, and some users have seen fit to recreate categories where there was an explicit consensus to delete them.
―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:59, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The 19th century categories aren't modern, and have numerous recent CFDs in support of keeping them Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 25#Category:19th-century tennis players, Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_10#Category:19th-century_referees_and_umpires. You also omitted several more recent CFDs, including this one I pointed out Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 29#Category:20th-century sportspeople by nationality. The goal of these categories is to keep the many century category clear. Please tag the participants from those CFDs.Mason (talk) 01:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So keep what? All of them? Just the 19th-century ones? The triple intersections of century, nationality, and sport such as Category:20th-century English cricketers? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't misgender me. For the record, I remade the parent category for cricketers because the nationality subcategories existed, and had existed for quiet sometime. Mason (talk) 01:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have amended the above, so pardon me for the gender-neutral pronoun usage. Maybe I was unclear: you saw that there was consensus to delete the category and yet you recreated it. Was there some consensus to recreate it that I didn't know about or did you just personally decide that even though you knew there was consensus to delete it, you would recreate it anyway without any consensus to do so? Please also actually answer the questions I asked so I know what your !vote is. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have already answered you question in regards to why I recreated the category: "I remade the parent category for cricketers because the nationality subcategories existed, and had existed for quiet sometime". That combined with the recent Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 29#Category:20th-century sportspeople by nationality, which I had also provided you, indicated that opinions might have shifted. I think that this mass nomination is a mess, and should not have been bundled. I am voting keep on procedural grounds. There are way too many different components happening here, there is no way to have a considered conversation. Further many of these deletions will isolate people/categories that have been diffused here to keep other categories organized. Mason (talk) 22:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. From what little I can recall, my rationale in creating this category was that baseball was a very different game in the 19th century and it was very useful to have a separate category for a relatively small subset of baseball players. Gamaliel (talk) 03:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, are you !voting to keep all or just 19th-century baseball ones? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:44, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just the 19th century. I don't do enough work in sports articles to properly gauge the usefulness of 20th century categories. Gamaliel (talk) 14:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
