Nominator's rationale: The pornographers category is not otherwise subdivided by ethnicity, and combining authors, actors, directors, businessmen, and tech people together as "Jewish pornographers" together strikes me as...suspect. –

DO NOT Delete Why? Read the article titled Triple-exthnics - Nathan Abrams on Jews in the American porn industry published in "Jewish Quarterly" (Winter 2004 - Number 196). [1] It states in part that "...secular Jews have played (and still continue to play) a disproportionate role throughout the adult film industry in America..." and explores reasons why this may be so. In the opinion of the ("half-")Jew writing here, the facts probably reflect the strong sex-negative currents within Christianity, as examined in a prize-winning book by a Protestant minister titled Sexual Liberation: The Scandal of Christendom (Praeger 2007). — Preceding

Delete not a defining characteristic, I note that
Category:Pornography has no religious sub-categories nor can I find say a category for Christian pornographers. Note that I made a duplice cfd seconds after Rosecelese which I've now removed!

Nominator's rationale: This is a follow-up to
this discussion, which resulted in the parent category being named
Category:Wikipedians contributing under a Creative Commons license. The rationale for renaming is the same as before:
Creative Commons (CC) is the organization, and contributions are made under a
CC license. My first preference, however, is deletion because: (1) this category is "over-organized" to the point of frustrating navigation, with 7
containers being used to organize a total of 9 downstream child categorise; and (2) CC license type (e.g. CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC BY-ND) is a more meaningful way of splitting the category than CC license version number. If deleted, upmerging is not required as all contents are already otherwise categorized. (Pining 3/4 categories' creator,
User:HarJIT) --

Since I was pinged: I don't really remember my motivation from four years ago, but what I do recall is that the category tree was a mess, with CC-BY templates categorising as contributing under CC-BY-SA (I think it was). I was making some attempts to at least make it accurate (and in the meantime apparently subst'ing on
my userpage—now commented out).
Delete any categories like this that don't have an identified purpose (e.g. a process that involves looking at what pages are in the category). DexDor(talk)17:54, 24 September 2019 (UTC)reply

Keep (as creator): I agree that the prize is not well-known in general, but it does seem to be very important in this field. Scanning through several of the laureates, the prize is mentioned in the first paragraph of most, sometimes in the first sentence, suggesting that it is in fact a defining characteristic.

Addendum: I fully assume you acted in good faith, Rigadoun, but preferential bias in such cases is human nature, thus preventing you from voting objectively.

Of course, that's why I noted that I was the creator. It's been a while since I've been active here, but I thought it was common to comment on such proposals. Or is it just that I shouldn't mark it as keep, but rather a comment?
Rigadoun (talk)02:51, 29 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete as non-defining (e.g. for
Bob Dole) and for all the usual reasons that lists are better for things like this (e.g. coping better when the prize is awarded jointly to 2 people) - and as there's a list there doesn't need to be a category as well (note: CLN does not say that if you have one you need to have the others).

Nominator's rationale: Consistency with main article, which has remained stable at
Lao cuisine since 2011. (Lao and Laotian are both adjectives for Laos, though sometimes a distinction is made where Laotian refers more to the modern country and nationality, while Lao is used more for historical/cultural stuff.) The category was originally at
Category:Lao cuisine, but was manually moved by
Armbrust in
2013.
