Oppose The nominator's assertion that most of the authorities in the category regulate both telecomms and other sorts of communication is not true.

Category:Weather beacons
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: The articles in this category (apart from
the eponymous article* which may need to be upmerged) are articles about corporations, buildings, TV channels etc for which having a weather beacon (for a period) is non-defining - the articles (e.g.
Näsinneula) don't generally mention the weather beacon in the lede. Note: the article contains a list. DexDor(talk)12:14, 18 February 2018 (UTC)reply
Delete – I was sure I had modified my comment in the recent discussion to agree with Dexdor on this but I seem not to have saved it. Indeed none of the articles is about a weather beacon. A better name would be 'buildings with weather-related features'.

The full list of nominated categories can be found in this section.
Nominator's rationale: merge per
WP:SMALLCAT, mostly just one article per category. This is follow-up on a
previous nomination that was supported in principle but considered to be too broad so that country specific details could not be discussed. So here is a first separate country nomination.

Support but limited to Castile, but at this stage merge to decade in Iberia (covering Portugal, Castile, Aragon and a few other states) and see what that looks like, rather than straight to a Europe category. We can then see what that looks like before merging further.

Presumably you are then okay with merging to years in Europe? Creating an entirely new category tree for decades in Iberia is quite a different issue.

Nominator's rationale: capitalisation fix. both categories were tagged for speedy renaming by an anon IP, but were not listed at
WP:CFDS. They would have been ineligible for a speedy rename
WP:C2D because the head article was moved
[1] from "Freestyle Motocross" on 6 February 2018 without discussion. --

Nominator's rationale:upmerge to the parent category, the articles in this category are unrelated to the article
Mode of production and it is unsure how else we should define the inclusion criteria for this category.

Keep. The category itself is fine. But i agree that some (if not most) of the articles in it should be moved to the parent directory (and some new articles should be added).

Capitalist production, Craft production, mass production... Maybe Manufacturing should also be added, while some other modes still need articles to be created (ancient production, feudal production, socialist etc). If category is not big, that is not a reason to delete it.

That's not necessary true. First, "mass production" as a base of mass society is a common topic in modern social sciences, also marxist, especially in consumerism critique, second, "mode of production" has since become an established scientific term not limited only to marxism but also to other social and political theories.

Observance sounds like a reasonable alternative, not just for Buddhism but for all religions, and surely better than holidays which imply days off from work or school which this is not about.

You are using your own definition of holiday rather than the one given at length in
holiday. If you seek to change the scope of the categories you need to start with renaming the articles. Categories follow from articles.

Recently we had a lot of discussion at CfD about medical doctors versus physicians. I think this requires a full discussion with two options, either rename all Ukrainian categories to physicians or rename all Ukrainian categories to medical doctors.

Comment Will move to full discussion; as I recall the earlier "medical doctors" versus "physicians" was about retaining "medical doctors" categories for British and ex-British countries but that hardly applies to the Ukraine.

Strong oppose -- This is applying an American definition of "physician" to other parts of the world, where Physician is a hospital speciality, not a general practitioner.

Physician is a much older term than medical doctor, and we have built an enormous category tree on it. We cant use the term doctor because it is ambiguous. Neither "Medical doctors" nor "physician" is a Ukrainian word.

Comment. "Physicians" is the parent category. A number of countries use "Medical Doctor" rather than "Physician" as the local usage (as previously decided) but none in continental Europe apart from Gibraltar or in ex-Soviet Central Asia (the "stans"). Neighbours of Ukraine all use "Physician"; Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania & Russia. PS: A few countries not ex-British use Medical Doctors not Physicians: the Dominican Republic, Iceland, Panama and Saudi Arabia.
