Category:U.S. Army installations named for Confederate soldiers

This category groups U.S. military bases like
Fort Bragg and
Fort Hood if they were named after Confederate leaders. These articles generally do mention who they were named after in passing and these names have become increasingly controversial. Nonetheless, grouping major military installations by how they were named doesn't seem defining. The contents of this category are already listified in
List of U.S. Army installations named for Confederate soldiers for any reader interested in the topic. -

Categories (apart from BLP etc) are for permanent characteristics of a topic. If something is renamed that shouldn't affect its categorization. If something ceases to exist then that shouldn't affect its categorization except for possibly being moved down into a "former" category and being placed in a disestablishments category. Thus, if you want "a list of current military installations of the US military [named] ..." then a list (with any date at which the installation was renamed/closed) would be more appropriate than a category.

Delete per nom, at worst listify if there is not already a list. This seems to be an accessory quality of these facilities. IIRC there are Confederates who then fought for the Union, e.g. in the Spanish-American War. What would that say about places named after them, that they celebrate the Confederate or Union part of their biography? The Civil War was a civil war after all.

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: Based on the category name, one would expect it to contain articles about incidents or aspects of Islamophobia; but instead it groups two scholars who are [allegedly] Islamophobes. This is contrary to the guidance given at the parent category
Category:Anti-Islam sentiment, "It
must not include articles about individuals, groups or media that are allegedly anti-Islam". (I would have no objection to keeping or recreating this category if there were articles appropriate to include in it.) Cheers,

Delete Practically empty category. The parent category is "works", so this should include books and not specific writers.

Rename/merge to something like
Category:Academics critical of Islam. One of the authors is concerned with the oppression of minorities in Islamic countries. The other is a psychologist concerned with terrorism by Muslims. Islamophobia means "fear of Islam", but I am not sure that is what either is expressing. A further group who would fit in my target are certain Christian (and perhaps Jewish) theologians concerned with studying the differences between their religion and Islam. Perhaps we have a category for them already, to merge to.

Support in principle, this seems to be a redundant category layer, since the category is mainly just divided in radio and TV personalities. However the proposal only makes sense if all nationality subcategories are included in the merger, this needs to become a batch nomination.

Delete an article on the school and another on a regular cricket match with another school are too little to make a category. Since it relates to school sport, I am doubtful whether the cricket match article should be allowed. I note there is no alumni category.

Support renaming, and oppose merge because of the size of the category it would create. "don't mean anything to people that don't play
MOBAs." is irrelevant and kind of a
WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument. These laning distinctions are every bit as important to spectators watching the game as distinctions such as
Category:Association football goalkeepers are to football watchers.--

The distinction may be important to spectators but the question is whether the distinction has encyclopledic relevance. By lack of articles I am assuming it has not.

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per
WP:SMALLCAT, most categories contain just one article, some contain 2 or 3 articles. In an number of cases a second merge target is not needed, in those cases the article is already in
Category:Mayoral elections in Japan. In case of Nishihara and Zushi a first merge target is lacking as well because there is no category for those two cities.

Nominator's rationale: Remove the word "episodes" from the title so as to broaden the scope in accordance with the category description which accommodates all articles related to the series. The category has considerable potential given the importance of the series in TV documentary history and of the many significant people who were actively involved.

Not sure whether that rename is unambiguous enough. In any case this nomination needs to be reformatted and this other category needs to be tagged for CfD as well.

Support. Politician is a profession. Whether a politician is senior (a leader) or not is not a defining charactaristic but the result of the objective functions
Nazi politicians have held and of the geographic scale one is looking at, making
Category:Nazi leaders both unnecessary and inherently subjective.

"A "politician" can be anyone who seeks to achieve political power in any bureaucratic institution." Leaders require followers, and I dont think the Nazi party often operated like that, so I agree "leaders" should go. But I'm not sure all of these people can be called politicians.

To the closing person: I neither support nor object to
Category:Nazi Party officials. I just want the subjective Nazi leaders gone. If creating
Category:Nazi Party officials will build the consensus (it sure looks that way) that would rid of Nazi leaders that would be a good thing. The supports for this track are divided between oppose, support, and rename. Hence my request to focus the discussion.

For consistency I agree with that. (Although it surprises me that the article is at
Nazi Party rather than at NSDAP. While abbreviations are generally not preferred, I would have expected an exemption here.)

Because there is only one New Hampshire and only one Virginia (no offence, WV) - there are several insular areas, and the category can be subcategorised by them.

@
Grutness: I picked two states. :) Virginia was obvious, I live here. :) NH was obvious because NH=NeutralHomer. Anyway, I just don't see the point of having five US territories squished into one category. It just seems silly. Plus, even if you were to subcategorize, it would be
Category:Radio stations in the Territories of the United States. But, I stand by my updated !vote above. Just leave it in the existing US Territory categories. -

Support - by insular area... is fine, and should probably be used for even more categories. Another option would be to name territorial categories as Foo in the United States by state or territory, which would also include Washington D.C. and historic territories.

I think that would make more sense, personally. That's certainly what we do in Canada: rather than having one container for the provinces and a separate container for the territories, we keep them together in common "by province or territory" sets. But I think I tried or suggested that once on a similar category (can't remember which one), only to be told that it wasn't acceptable in a U.S. context because reasons — so I would never impose that now without evidence that consensus had changed.
