Category:Hunting goddesses

Seems sort of redundant, there's already Category:Hunting gods and I don't see a reason to differ by gender in this case. --Conti|✉ 19:50, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. I was under the impression that the consensus regarding Category:Gods and Category: Goddesses was that this is generally a useful distinction to make (see Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/unresolved#Category:Gods_and_Category:Goddesses—if that wasn't the consensus of that discussion, some input would be appreciated). It's very interesting to be able to see at a glance the variety of female deities associated with hunting, especially since hunting was done by men in most cultures. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 21:19, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • I moved the previous discussion to /unresolved, since there seems to be some feeling that it wasn't resolved completely. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 21:11, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. We've just been through all this. Very useful to have category differentiation from Gods.Grutness 01:59, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • I wasn't aware that there was already a discussion about this issue, but I still do not really see a reason for that. But if there was already a consensus to keep things as they are, so be it. --Conti|✉ 12:39, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

• We may have gone through this before, but it was not resolved. Final vote (best as I can count) was keep:3, merge:4. Personally, I think the hunting category is small enough it would not hurt to merge. --ssd 02:59, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Trust me, most of these categories could be quite a lot larger. Size ought not to be the issue. However, in the previous discussion, there were not a lot of clear and unambiguous votes, period. I could three clear keep votes, one clear delete, and three "mege into something-or-other". I translated that to "three keep, one delete, three reorganize somehow", not counting my vote, which would have been "keep". There were a couple of votes which were not clear, one which I think was meant to be a joke and one which agreed with a previous user (who had said "keep") but seemed to be in favor of some sort of name change (somewhat confusing). There has been some reorganization (which I did because I was tired of looking at it), which received hardly any comments. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 17:32, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps we should start a discussion entirely for the purpose of deciding whether to divide deities by gender? The Category:Gods/Category:Goddesses discussion was complicated by a number of other issues, including the fact that the organization of those categories left (and still leaves) something to be desired. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 20:45, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

That would be a good idea I think. And to make my vote clear: Merge, which means delete this category and put its content into Category:Hunting gods. --Conti|✉ 23:46, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
