Propose merging:
2-page category
3-page categories
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Each of these categories for small places in the Mid-Western Regional Council, New South Wales are are tiny, with little chance of expansion. They all currently contain 2 or 3 pages: the head article plus one or two others. I haven't found any other articles to expand the categories.
As with many other New South Wales locations, category creation seems to have been a bit indiscriminate. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:53, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lankan people of Fooian/Jewish descent 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. MER-C 18:36, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose deleting:
Nominator's rationale: This is a classical case of unverified and unsourced Wikipedia:Overcategorization by @Spiderjerky: where a user has created a lot of pseudo-categories and parents for one person Jeanne Hoban based on her purported Jewishness, when in fact her article clearly states Jeanne Hoban#Early years: "She was born in Gillingham, Kent. Her father, Major William Leo Hoban was a British featherweight boxer and former soldier of Irish roots, her mother, May Irene Free, was a small businesswoman of partly Jewish extraction." providing no sources whatsoever. Basically Jeanne Hoban was born in England and lived in Sri Lanka and she should go into Category:Sri Lankan people of English descent & Category:British expatriates in Sri Lanka which for some unknown reason she is not placed in.

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletion discussions. 21:36, 2 July 2020 (UTC) IZAK (talk) 21:36, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-notable intersections. Another set of "descent" categories suffering not only the problem IZAK identifies of miscategorization, but the usual problems of objectively determining: how much of Fooian descent must one be and how distant must/can it be; then finding reliable sources tell us that the person is within those objectively determined definitions (without adequate sourcing of any patrilineal claims of descent - not everyone is the child of who they call dad). This also has the additional problem of the inclusion of "Jewish", which may remain purely a religious designation. Does someone become of "Jewish" descent if an ancestor converted to Judaism but their collateral relatives from non-converting ancestors have different ethnicities/descents. If so, then these "descent" categories for some imparted blood-lines are even more useless. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nominator. This is a good catch: a forest of non-notable intersections of attributes not held by the one person placed in the forest, and which would be of dubious value even if there was evidence for their veracity. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per above. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all -- They seem to exist because one person was distantly of some unspecified eastern European (Ashkenazi) descent. Jewish descent is matrilineal, which might make a Jewish (or of Jewish descent). The Jews in eastern Europe were generally endogamous, so that Carlossuarez46's comment is misplaced: Being Jewish is not purely an issue of religion, but a quasi-ethnic category.

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Southeastern Massachusetts "is not an official designation [and] its borders are not exactly defined." User:Namiba 20:00, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: nomination cleaned up. @User:Namiba, it would help a lot if you took a few moments to format your CFD nominations in the conventional way. Your nominations take a variety of creative formats which make it harder for other editors to scrutinise them and for admins to process them. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:06, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, categories about regions with undefined borders should not contain subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Category:Southeastern Massachusetts and merge the subcats as proposed. Some cleanup may be necessary afterwards. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:53, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: move to Category:Organizations in the ex-gay movement. (non-admin closure) Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:41, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Proposed category would better the actual purpose of these groups, and would also better reflect that 'ex-gay' is a contested term. 'Ex-gay organizations' is unclear and suggests that it is the organizations which are 'ex-gay'. Darren-M talk 19:59, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only the eponymous Stanton, California and 2 other articles. All articles are already adequately categorised, so no need to merge. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:19, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've added 5 more related articles.--User:Namiba 20:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Purge, some articles are about a much wider area. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless as to whether a certain article should or should not be removed or added, it is clear that SMALLCAT doesn't apply. There is clear room for growth.--User:Namiba 14:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Namiba, that depends on how much is left after your inappropriate additions have been purged. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:42, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think what I added is inappropriate, but, either way, a city of almost 40,000 residents in a metropolitan area is clearly one that doesn't fit WP:SMALLCAT criteria.--User:Namiba 23:31, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Namiba: That depends entirely on how many pages we have which specifically relate to that town.
A categories is not a badge of rank; it's a way of organising existing content. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:35, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. SMALLCAT is being mis-applied here. Note: The category currently has 8 articles plus a subcat and those I looked at weren't obviously inappropriate. DexDor (talk) 20:41, 28 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • Move to/ create Category:St John's Priory (Kilkenny), because that is the name everyone in Kilkenny uses to refer to the church, it's the category used on Commons and it has many more photographs in it. A.-K. D. (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @A.-K. D., renaming the category would not resolve the problem that it fails WP:SMALLCAT. The fact that Commons has lots photos is the abbey is irrelevant; this category exists to group the content on en.wp, and there isn't enough content on en.wp to support a category on en.wp.
      If the category exists on en.wp, it follows the name of the head article, which is St. John's Abbey, Kilkenny. If you want the head article to be renamed, then open a WP:RM discussion ... but please note that per WP:COMMONNAME, article titles are follow usage in

      independent, reliable English-language sources

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 15:09, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no "gens Marcella", the Marcellus cognomen was simply used by a branch of the Claudia gens. ★Trekker (talk) 13:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can read the Claudia gens for example or look at List of Roman gentes. Gens are a specific thing, not all names are gentes.★Trekker (talk) 07:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
★Trekker is correct. This should be uncontroversial—and the category has only been at this incorrect title since being speedied there from "Marcelli" on July 2, a move that I suspect came as a surprise to most of the classics specialists in the project.

Nominator's rationale: Not sure why we need this category since it makes no sense to a reader or maintenance since we have a page listing all these sources and other sources 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 10:57, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CLS. @1.Ayana: the fact that a list exists doesn't mean that we can't also have a category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Its non-defining and meta. Complete cruft.★Trekker (talk) 13:14, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove As Visible Category/Delete If this serves an administrative function, than I'm fine keeping it on the talk pages or hidden if it benefits Wikipedia editors. But this doesn't seem defining to a typical Wikipedia reader and should not be a visible category. (If there's not a consensus for this middle ground, then delete.) RevelationDirect (talk) 14:25, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can agree with this, for editors it may be helpful, but its not mainspace material.★Trekker (talk) 14:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless someone explains it serves a clear administrative purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:13, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not defining for the sources; do any of them care whether WP considers them reliable? One could probably add any number of esoterica to this category. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • After reviewing WP:DEFINING, I agree that my creating this category was a mistake. If I ever create an administrative category for this information, it will be done in consultation with other interested editors. — Newslinger talk 15:37, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

yawn; as above and per the Matsumae listing previously; Jinkaku-ji, Bungo-Kiyokawa Station, Oitakenou Airport, Asaji, Ōita, Inukai, Ōita, Mie, Ōita, Ogata, Ōita, Ōno, Ōita, Chitose, Ōita, Kiyokawa, Ōita, Ogata Station (Ōita), Asaji Station, Miemachi Station, Sugao Station, Inukai Station, etc. Please at least search for existing articles before incorrect citation of WP:SMALLCAT; please strike the remaining frivolous/vexatious Japanese municipality nominations on similar grounds, thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 23:57, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Maculosae tegmine lyncis, try some WP:Civility. The only frivolous/vexatious actions here is your 8-year-long run of creating categories without trying to populate them. In the case of this category, you didn't even bother to add the head article Bungo-Ōno: it was added[1] on by Good Ol'factory 9 hours after you created[2] the category.
That is not a one-off issue: I stumbled across this nest of WP:SMALLCATs when my AWB run adding missing eponymous categories across all topics repeatedly found similar cases of missing eponcats for Japanese towns. Please drop the anger, sarcasm and personal attacks, and put your energies populating the categories the categories which which you created as mostly one-article categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:35, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Maculosae tegmine lyncis, it is not useful to just mention articles that belong in the category in this discussion. Take your responsibility and actually add these articles to the category. (Which you should have done when you created the category.) Marcocapelle (talk) 19:01, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please could you clarify how the save function works in terms of server storage space/requirements. For instance, say you have a town page of 100k and create ten new categories, adding in the categories one by one (each category addition being of c. 30 bytes); would you then have 1 mb of additional storage requirements or 300 bytes? Is it the diffs that are saved (and somehow combined when you load a page) or the new page in aggregate? Thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Maculosae tegmine lyncis: this is nothing to do with storage space. This is about the fact that smallcats are an impediment to navigation, which is the primary purpose of categories (see WP:CAT). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Such considerations may relate to how particular users edit, which presumably does not relate to whether a category is WP:SMALLCAT compliant or not. Also, when these categories are added, the corresponding eg towns are (?typically? - always, I think, certainly by me) not removed from the Category:Towns of x prefecture category, eg Tawaramoto is both a subcategory and a page, thus obviating such a problem; where then is the impediment? thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Criminal law generally uses the terminology of "attempted" crimes rather than "failed" crimes. Of the four subcategories, two use some form of "attempt" and two use some form of "attempt" along with "failed". So all four use some form of "attempt".

Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Only the head article Sandycove and Glasthule railway station and one image. No chance of expansion. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming either:
Nominator's rationale: disambiguation. This category is about "retargeting" in online advertising, for which the main appears to be Behavioral retargeting, even tho it's currently not in the category.
The bare title Retargeting is about computer software compilation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 16:58, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:C2D, consistency with main article's name
We recently decided to merge Category:Support ships into the proper subcategories of Category:Auxiliary ships in this CFD discussion. That was based on the two categories having the same scope and going with the main article name, Auxiliary ship. This subcategory was missed in that earlier nomination and the Royal Navy doesn't seem to have any specific/unique distinction between these two terms.

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 18:40, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Every death is from cardiac arrest. While in some cases the cause of that arrest may be significant (and looking at the articles in this category, many of them list a specific cause), the fact of cardiac arrest itself will never be defining. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Legal death may predate cardiac arrest - as necessarily so in heart transplant donors. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: There doesn't appear to be a Category:Deaths from ischemic heart disease, which I suspect might be a more accurate categorisation for many of the articles. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I have broader concerns about obituary based categorization, but this one is especially non-defining. RevelationDirect (talk) 14:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the cause of death I think is notable, but this is basically how death is determined (as opposed to "brain death", where someone is legally dead before the heart stops.) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
