Query What is the collective term for such officials ("rabbis, but for cantors and other officials") in Judaism? Clergy? Really? Shouldn't it be "Religious workers" or "Religious leaders"?

This was created because there are various other Horror and Action film franchises which aren't linked together. It was created to be useful. I think we should be thinking about what makes something redundant instead of playing a game of "favorites" (ex: the Jurassic Park and Star Wars films get a category but some cult or direct to video franchise gets ignored). It's all helpful at the end of the day and just helps organize it among the other subcategories.

Manual merge and Delete. This category may refer to rabbis who worked in London, which is probably not a defining characteristic. Or it may refer to those who are from London, in which case it should be merged. buidhe19:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)reply
I would rather expect "worked in London" to be a more defining characteristic, see also my comment below, so this is the one option that I really oppose.

Oppose The two fulfill different functions: one is a "from foo" tree while the other is a "serves in an official capacity as rabbi in geographic territory foo" tree. Just because a rabbi is from London, doesn't mean that his rabbinical career was in London. It's analogous to the
Category:Bishops in Ireland /
Category:Bishops from Ireland tree structures. Many Irish people emigrated in the 19th century and became bishops in their adoptive countries. I'm sure the same is true for rabbis.

Oppose One can be from London, while not being in London. My acquaintance
Levi Brackman would be both, e.g. Likewise we should create
Category:Clergy in London, next to the already existing
Category:Clergy from London. If anything, we should discuss the usefulness of the "from" categories, since being "from" a place is often only incidental to the occupation, as opposed to the "in" categories. I see that
User:Marcocapelle has sated something along these same lines in his first comment on this proposal.

I think this needs a wider discussion. The same issues arise in many biographical categories. Three issues - first which word we use, as both are pretty ambiguous, and second, what exactly we might mean. Territories as used by the various churches do not coincide, even with each other, and are quite different in other fields of work. And thirdly, can we manage both place or origin and place of operation without people mixing them up?

I guess the current situation (mostly mixing up places of birth and places of occupationm with the exception of clergy) has been a compromise between editors who found place of birth (or place of growing up) much more important and other editors who found place of occupation much more important. I clearly belong to the latter group.

Merge -- The standard format is people from foo, which is broad enough to cover both rabbis born in London (perhaps ministering elsewhere) and those born elsewhere, but serving in a London synagogue.

I think on balance ambiguity is helpful. Many biographical articles say little or nothing about where people are born or grow up, and even when they do, for people who move about, as rabbis clearly do, it may not be very defining. So I think merging into the "from" categories is the best option. People can be from more than one place.

Not in the British categories they don't. In categories from other countries maybe, but the British categories have been used almost exclusively as I outlined, and should remain so. --

I have just worked through 3000 articles in People from London and I can report that the category related to where people were born, grew up, lived, worked and died pretty much equally, just like all the similar categories. To say a person is "from" somewhere is completely ambiguous. Any effort to standardise the meaning is doomed to failure unless it uses different words. And actually I think it's fine the way it is. Different sorts of people are defined as "from" somewhere in a variety of ways.

Nominator's rationale: This editor has created this category, while trying to imply that the Houthis are proxies of North Korea, something that is not supported by reliable sources.

Speedy Delete as soon as possible per nom and creator request. Just because the Houthis received weapons from North Korea, it does not mean they are proxy group of North Korea (and I agree with Sharab). There are not a lot of proxy wars between North Korea and the United States. The creation of this category is the result of my huge misunderstanding about the Houthis being a North Korean proxy.

Update Since all the articles are already in that category, for all practical purposes we could delete, just that formally, I'd prefer to close this as "upmerge".
