Category:Tanks of Greece

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: Delete. The most convincing argument is that of WP:NONDEFINING included in the nominator's rationale; who a piece of equipment is sold to is not part of the definition of that piece of equipment. I sympathize with the thought that this is a common category type; but the weight of the guideline (not Policy, mind you) is on the side of delete. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 01:03, 29 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING. None of these tanks were produced or designed in Greece. Schierbecker ( talk) 20:10, 2 February 2020 (UTC) reply
Note: Nomination tidied up. DexDor (talk) 20:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Some tanks too. I would argue that country categorization doesn't make sense for American weapons produced after the 1960s. The DoD had an enormous hand in designing tanks at least until the M1 Abrams. The Pentagon does not micromanage such things now. Multinational defense companies today have further eroded the idea of an "indigenous" combat vehicle. Schierbecker ( talk) 23:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC) reply
That page appears (although it's not clear from the lede) to be about current/future equipment. See List of historical equipment of the Hellenic Army. DexDor (talk) 12:28, 3 February 2020 (UTC) reply
The lists already include the 5 tanks in the category (and others such as Leopard 2) so no listification is needed. DexDor (talk) 19:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC) reply
I stand corrected, and agree that no further listifying is needed. Delete.Fayenatic London 14:22, 7 February 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article and one subcategory. A merge to the other parent category is not needed, since the content is already in another part of that tree. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Ukrainian-speaking countries and territories. Note that there does seem to be some consensus that the category needs some culling or updating. bibliomaniac 1 5 06:03, 18 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Similar to other irredentist categories in the same region, emphasized by this discussion. See also recent discussions about Category:Slovene ethnic territory ( here) or Category:Bulgarian land ( here), and the deletion discussion about Category:Ukrainian-speaking countries and territories. Place Clichy ( talk) 21:13, 20 January 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose I would be open to a rename, but I categorically object to the insinuation that Ukrainians (while fighting a war on their own soil) have some aggressive irredentist plot to take the Kuban, for example (an area that is certainly historically quite Ukrainian-inhabited). Frankly, that seems like propaganda out of RT or Sputnik. -- Calthinus ( talk) 03:14, 26 January 2020 (UTC) reply
  • (from nom) Support deletion outcome, weak oppose renaming to Ukrainian countries and territories. Places in the category are not Ukrainian countries and territories, and arguments in the deletion discussion for this target category are still valid. Place Clichy ( talk) 20:35, 28 January 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Place Clichy It is entirely wrong to be treating this as a question about whether the category in question concerns "Ukrainian countries and territories". It does not. No territorial claim whatsoever is implicit. What is implicit, is a valuable mapping of the retreat of a disadvantaged and threatened language (Ukrainian) in the face of an advantaged one (Russian). This is more like analogous cases with Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Welsh, Breton, Belarusian, Occitan, Dalmatian, etc.-- Calthinus ( talk) 18:10, 29 January 2020 (UTC) reply
    My mistake, I meant Ukrainian-speaking countries and territories. This is the renaming that has been suggested, and I'm not convinced by it. However, the current title mentions traditional spread of Ukrainians and includes the likes of Novosibirsk Oblast, so this clearly is an imprecise gathering along imprecise criteria of places very loosely related to Ukrainians or Ukrainian. Place Clichy ( talk) 23:22, 29 January 2020 (UTC) reply
    Many of those are no longer Ukrainian-speaking, due to policies of forced Russification during the last several centuries.-- Sanya3 ( talk) 18:18, 10 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: rename in order to align with the main article Disabled sports and in order to align with the format of Category:Sports competitors. An alternative speedy rename request was opposed. Marcocapelle ( talk) 11:11, 11 January 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: I created both categories a while ago. The intention was for the categories to contain scholars/theologians who lived under Mamluk rule. They may not necessarily be of Mamluk descent ( Category:People of the Mamluk Sultanate vs Category:Mamluks). Al-Andalusi ( talk) 08:42, 2 February 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Seems like an unnecessary category. It's not a unique enough criteria that it makes sense in the Transformers category structure, and "Robot characters in video games" is not so full as to need to filer out articles by franchise.
