Nominator's rationale: Categorization by non-defining characteristic. Spanish national basketball team players are not notable for being born outside of Spanish territory.

Comment how are these really distinguishable from things like
Category:Anti-Armenian pogroms and the various genocide and similar categories? Is that distinction meaningful (I suppose you could have a pogrom that didn't result in a massacre, or a failed genocide that contained no deaths, in theory but they seem very closely related and ought, IMHO, to be grouped together somehow).

Ah - in that case, support. BTW, quite a few articles mention ghost walks (the usual name rather than ghost tours, by the looks of it), so a list might be worthwhile.

Nominator's rationale: Is it me or does this category seem kind of arbitrary? Achievements and ingame score are two totally different types of progress. It also has an issue with potentially being too small for a category per
WP:SMALLCAT. ZXCVBNM (

Merge all per nominator. We do not need to obsessively subcategorize every film's setting all the way down to the small town or county even if only one or two films can actually be included in any such subcategory. Major cities with a lot of films set there can certainly have their own subcategories, but smaller towns should simply be left at the state level.

The result of the discussion was:no consensus. This nomination of 8 ethnicity/occupation intersections was based on the proposition that none of the categories meets the test set out in
WP:EGRS: that the intersection is "recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic". .However nobody provided any evidence either way, so the balance of !votes amounts to a balance of ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT, which can only be closed as "no consensus". A nomination such which relies on an individual assessment of each category is more likely to produce a consensus outcome if it deals with only one category (or maybe a small number of closely-related categories), so that editors can do some research and offer more than unevidenced assertion. --

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by trivial intersection. There is not enough of a distinct history of Ethnic Armenians in these professions to warrant a separate category. There is no need to merge to nationality and profession based categories since all articles are already in an appropriate subcategory.

Per
WP:EGRS, these combinations are not "recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic[s]". "The basis for creating such a category is not the number of individuals who could potentially be filed in the group, but whether there's a specific cultural context for the grouping beyond the mere fact that politicians of that ethnic background happen to exist."--

And what about architects, economists etc etc? I would probably support if this nomination would cover all relevant subcategories but I can't see the benefit of nominating only these seven and leave the others alone.

Whether there are oversights on my part on nominating certain categories or not should not stop us from merging these categories. I would happily support another nomination for other non-notable intersections.--

Keep -- Some of these are somewhat small, but the parent is tagged as a container. Many of the subcats are sufficiently populated to be kept. I suspect there are people in an Armenian category who ought to be in these.
