Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast
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.
Nominator's rationale: Merge/rename. Some nominations opposed at the speedy renaming section (by an apparent single-purpose account). The category tree and article space uses
Category:Ivory Coast/
Ivory Coast. These are the only categories that do not (apart from the Olympics ones, since we use the name by which a country competes at the Olympics, even if it doesn't match the WP name). We could debate the merits of the article using either name, but right now, English WP uses "Ivory Coast" as a result of
this discussion, and there's no reason for these categories not to conform. Redirects may be created on the alternate form.

Support -- While the official name of the country may be in French the common English name is in English. I expect there are other cases of this if we think hard.

Delete Though this is a new category, nominated on the day of its creation, this is an improper grouping of topics.
Infertility describes the condition of being unable to reproduce by natural means. There are a variety of causes, but they seem to be mostly biological.
Sterilization is a term for medical techniques that intentionally leave a person unable to reproduce and most are permanent. The effect on reproduction is the same but the reasons are worlds apart.

Comment -- A category for real people to whom this applied would certainly be NN. However, I can imagine that there might be a novel the main protagonist was incapable of having children and this was a significant issue in the plot. However, if it is still empty, we do not need it.

Nominator's rationale: No uses (apart from the old examples on the testcases and the talkpage discussion). This was created in 2006, and I think that people know how to use it correctly by now.

Nominator's rationale: Arab nationalists are ridiculously
overcategorized. "Heads of state" were always either military personnel or career politicians. Personally I think most of the subcategories for
Arab nationalists are unnecessary. You don't see this level of subcategorization for any other
nationalists. Plus, some of these people were heads of government, not heads of state.

Maybe, but some of the Arab heads of state in this category are/were leaders of countries that are not part of the standard territorial definition of the Middle East (such as the Maghreb states).

The result of the discussion was:merge. There was support to rename the "Novelists from FOO" categories into "Writers from FOO" categories, but the former were not nominated/tagged as part of this discussion. It could be pursued in a follow-up discussion.Good Ol’factory(talk)22:56, 21 March 2016 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale: No other country seems to have "novelists by province/city" subcategories, much less an additional descriptor like "People's Republic of" (presumably to distinguish writers from e.g. the Qing dynasty), so I think this is clearly overcategorization. If anyone thinks that
Category:Novelists from Beijing should be further upmerged with
Category:Writers from Beijing, I am willing to support that as well.

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

Nominator's rationale: This might make an interesting list and a list would have many advantages (e.g. being able to include a few words of explanation against each entry, being able to include events for which there isn't a standalone article). However, as a way of categorizing it's not as good as the other ways we categorize (e.g. by year, location and type) as those characteristics provide comprehensive categorization and mesh with other categories. We don't, for example, categorize maritime/railway/road/factory accidents by whether they kill any bystanders. That the category was created without any parent categories indicates that the creator doesn't understand wp categorization and hence they may have thought this was the correct way to create a list. Note: this category is currently incomplete (
El Al Flight 1862 being one omission) and isn't precisely defined (e.g. should
British Airtours Flight 28M be included?). DexDor(talk)07:03, 28 February 2016 (UTC)reply

That's possible, they are all US allies. No objection to recreating if an actual main article comes along that ties them together by more than just their name.
