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: Rename to Category:Celtic studies scholars. Timrollpickering 14:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: According to Google, it's a slightly more common term, and more transparent, not needing a definition for a general audience. Catrìona ( talk) 22:42, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Fayenatic: I chose the name because it is the general common name and is not ambiguous in how it's used. There's no ambiguity because someone from a "Celtic" background would be much more likely to describe themselves as "Scottish", grew up in an Irish speaking community, of Breton descent etc. In that sense there is no real pan-Celtic identity. Celtic scholars are not necessarily from a "Celtic" background, and include folklorists, historians, art historians, literature studies etc. as well as linguists per se. That said it does look like "Celtic studies scholars" would be consistent with other categories, although I've never heard that phrase used because it would be considered redundant. For these reasons I also support "Celtic studies scholars". Catrìona ( talk) 13:32, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. ℯ xplicit 05:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Only one entry, better suited by being mentioned in the article about jungle justice. Geschichte ( talk) 20:09, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Support per nom, without prejudice to recreating if more than five jungle justice incidents later make it into Wikipedia. Catrìona ( talk) 22:30, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The definition is problematic: "Jungle justice or mob justice is a form of public extrajudicial killings in Sub-Saharan Africa, most notably Nigeria and Cameroon, where an alleged criminal is humiliated, beaten or summarily executed by a crowd or vigilantes." The concept largely overlaps with lynching: "Lynching is a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a group." Dimadick ( talk) 13:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Hindi-language films based on actual events. ℯ xplicit 05:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. ℯ xplicit 05:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: upmerge, as far as I can see there is no relationship between the Francoist regime in Spain and the demolition of these buildings and structures. They have been demolished for various non-political reasons. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:40, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply

nominating more categories
Nominator's rationale: delete, these "events" categories do not distinguish themselves from their parent "decade" categories because decade categories are collecting events almost by definition. The nomination ends in 1800 because from that year on there is a deeper subcategorization of events by month. This is a follow-up nomination after this earlier discussion has been closed as delete. There is no need to merge something because all content is also otherwise in the tree of the decade parent categories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:08, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Loyola Lions football

The result of the discussion was: rename. ℯ xplicit 05:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The football program at what is now called Loyola Marymount University was disbanded following the 1951 season, when the school was known as Loyola College of Los Angeles. The school's sports teams were known simply as the "Loyola Lions" at the time. Jweiss11 ( talk) 05:35, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Non-governmental organizations with consultative status at the United Nations (option C below, non-abbreviated form of option E which also had support). – Fayenatic London 10:24, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: rename, the current category name wrongly suggests these are organizations of the United Nations, which is not actually the case. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:52, 17 April 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Rename but not as suggested. The majority of the content is national (etc) United Nations Associations, which are organisations whose role is to be cheer-leaders for UN. I am not quite sure what the rest of the content is doing there: are they NGOs recognised by UN? if so, that is a separate category. My preferred target would be Category:United Nations Associations, with anything else purged to somewhere else. This needs more discussion: please relist.

Nominator's rationale: Too heterogenous in my opinion. There are too many different events that one can survive in Category:Survivors: Holocaust survivors, survivors of plane crashes, survivors of seafaring incidents, survivors of mundane crime, survivors of diseases, survivors of assassination attempts, for a national division to make sense at this level.

Nominator's rationale: Seems to be more encyclopedic, and matches other multiword subcategories under Category:Survivors, such as Category:Survivors of aviation accidents or incidents‎, Category:Survivors of terrorist attacks‎ Catrìona ( talk) 00:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: repurpose Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues as parent of Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by issue and rename Category:Wikipedia articles needing style editing‎ to Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month, and its contents likewise. – Fayenatic London 13:57, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Very confusing names, not much of a substantive difference.  —  Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs)  02:57, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply

The monthly categories are created by AnomieBOT, containing only {{ Monthly clean up category}}, which I believe generates parent categories based on the name excluding "from [date]", i.e. it won´t populate a parent named "articles [with problem] by date".
@ Anomie and Rich Farmbrough: can you correct me on this? Is it possible to change the parent, e.g. using the "cat" parameter in {{ Monthly clean up category}} for a family of maintenance categories? – Fayenatic London 12:23, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I could add the category to the bot's list of "special" categories that don't follow the usual naming convention, if necessary. Category:Articles needing expert attention by month is an example of a category in that list. Anomie ⚔ 12:59, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply
