Disease outbreaks
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: per
WP:OVERLAPCAT and
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, to remove from category space a distinction between "disease outbreak" and "epidemic", because any distinction is not clear enough to allow for objective categorisation.
The head articles epidemic and disease outbreak both stress that the two term have been used interchangeably. In recent times there have been some efforts to standardise the terminology, by defining "epidemic" as a higher-threshold subset of "outbreak", and setting criteria by which an outbreak can be labelled as an epidemic.
"You can see why it’s so easy to confuse these terms. They’re all related to one another and there’s a natural ebb and flow between them as treatments become available and measures for control are put in place — or as flare-ups occur and disease begins to spread."
Neither that article nor the general dictionaries offer a clear distinction. For example:
Epidemic: The occurrence in a community or region of cases of an illness, specific health-related behaviour, or other health-related events clearly in excess of normal expectancy. The community or region and the period in which the cases occur are specified precisely. The number of cases indicating the presence of an epidemic varies according to the agent, size, and type of population exposed, previous experience or lack of exposure to the disease, and time and place of occurrence.
Epidemic threshold: Is the critical number or density of susceptible hosts required for an epidemic to occur. The epidemic threshold is used to confirm the emergence of an epidemic so as to step-up appropriate control measures.
As far as I can see, that means that the historical opacity and fuzziness of these terms is being replaced in contemporary professional medical usage with an evolving set of criteria specific to each disease type and region.
This sort of terminological distinction is of course a crucial tool for those working in disaster relief, so that they can apply previously-prepared action plans. But the finely-grained, evolving terminology of frontline practitioners who agree to use terms in a particular way at a given time is a poor tool for categorisation in a general enyclopedia, which needs terminology that:
can be applied with some reasonable consistency across different historical eras
avoids finely-nuanced distinctions without clear boundaries
reflects the usage in the non-technical
reliable sources which underpin much of any encyclopedia
Comment, I had the impression that "outbreak" is only applicable in the stage before experts refer to it as an epidemic by certain measures of size and severity, i.e. that the term "outbreak" is no longer applicable once it becomes an official epidemic. I see some of that back in the above definitions though admittedly not very clearly.

@
Marcocapelle, I guess I haven't explained the problem clearly enough, so I will try to simplify:
The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably. But where there is a distinction, disease outbreak is the more inclusive term. That is: all epidemics are outbreaks, but not all outbreaks are epidemics.
So we can't do a reverse merge (renaming all outbreaks as epidemics), because not all outbreaks are epidemics.
An outbreak doesn't cease to be an outbreak just because it is defined by some or all people as an epidemic.
I dispute that "outbreak" is more general or inclusive than "epidemic". "Outbreaks" are merely epidemics that have not (yet) broken out (!) into epidemics or pandemics.

Certainly merge somehow because of overlapping content. If other editors agree with using "disease outbreaks" as the overarching term I'll happily accept that. If there is going to be discussion about it, "diseases" or "disease outbreaks and epidemics" might be alternative merge targets.

NeutralAt this step I would oppose or favour renaming to epidemics. While epidemics has a clear scientific definition which is standardized worldwide thanks to WHO, an outbreak can be pretty much anything. I guess that we would therefore pretty much always have RS telling us if a situation is an epidemic or not. The question is, really, if a disease outbreak that is not an epidemic is something defining or not.

If we have an article an article about a disease outbreak which is not an epidemic, then being an outbreak is the defining attribute of it. Not having categories for such articles would be perverse. --

OK then, I guess I am confused by my native language where the cognate of epidemic clearly is the most standard term, and is also the usual translation for outbreak. This seems to be the case in many languages when you look at how many interwiki links there are on
Category:Epidemics (68) and
Epidemic (104), many of them cognates of epidemic, compared to
Category:Disease outbreaks (11) and
Disease outbreak (13). If there's one epidemic that seems hard to juggle, it is that of monosyllables (or in this case, disyllables) in the English language. My first gut would be to prefer a precise word rather than an imprecise one. Still, I'll trust your analysis on this and remain neutral.

I support
Place Clichy's initial arguments: epidemic has been used for millennia in many languages, and has been the term for the phenomenon in English far more commonly and for longer than has this terrible compound word "outbreak" or "out-break".

I support epidemic as the target. "Outbreak" has (two) narrower meanings than epidemic in everyday epidemiology (not outbreakology!): both the initial transmission of a contagious disease and an epidemic which is insufficiently broken out to count as an epidemic under certain niche 21st century naming rules. Epidemic in most cases here makes much better sense.

Both the outbreaks categories and the epidemics categories contain articles with either outbreak, epidemic or pandemic in the title. So while the differences may be clear for medical professionals (although nominator provided evidence that even that is questionable), for wikipedians the distinction is certainly not clear enough.

Merge per nom, as the distinction between an epidemic and a mere outbreak is too fuzzy, but Keep the existing epidemic categories wherever there is no outbreak sibling. Dealing with historical periods, with the less advanced state of medical knowledge, mere outbreaks are unlikely to have articles.

Strong Oppose There is no benefit to replacing the single word "epidemic" with the compound word "outbreak". General use has "outbreak" referring to all sorts of things breaking out (of), and not just diseases. Epidemic only rarely means anything but "episode of disease". Epidemic is a better, more recognizable, and historically rooted term than is the process of breaking out (of something), especially in terms of contagious diseases. Outbreak is an ambiguous neologism, whereas epidemic has been used to describe epidemics since time immemorial. Modern nomenclature is not suitable for retrofitting historical epidemics with a subtle and not-universally recognized distinction between two types of epidemic (i.e., epidemic and outbreak). In fact, I would rather see the word "outbreak" replaced with "epidemic" in almost all historical cases. Furthermore, the change would be potentially misleading, since "outbreak" in epidemiology can also mean the initial transmission stages of any disease, or the first instance of it, and exclude the rest of the epidemic or pandemic. It should also be noted that we are happy to call the
First plague pandemic by that name, even though it does not fit the criteria of modern terminology of being global, affecting as it did the Old World exclusively. In short, I would banish the term "outbreak" and use the universally understood "epidemic" instead!

Oppose I expect an encyclopedia today to use the language of today. I do not think this move is in the right direction in precision nor clarity. I came to this page looking for a clear definition (and example) of an epidemiological curve, not an outbreak curve. (What is that?)
From Johns Hopkins University teach-out on COVID-19 and Epidemiology, "Both epidemic and outbreak refer to a period of time when more cases of a disease occur than is typical in a particular place. If a disease is rare, this might be only a few cases. While if it is more common, we would need to see a very large number of cases before calling something an outbreak. For instance, if we saw even two or three cases of Ebola in New York City, we would call that an outbreak. But we'd have to see many thousands of influenza cases in the same area before we said there was an outbreak of the flu. The term outbreak and epidemic are often used interchangeably. But generally, outbreak is used to refer to something smaller or more contained in space and time. For example, we often refer to the HIV epidemic when discussing the entire course of the disease across the whole world. However, we would only call something and HIV outbreak if we were talking about a particular population over a small period of time. For instance, there was a outbreak of HIV in Indiana from 2011 to 2015. Here's an example about an outbreak of meningitis. In the United States, even though a small number of linked cases of meningococcal diseases is considered an outbreak. Here the county Public Health Department declared a meningococcal disease outbreak at San Diego State University based on only three cases of the disease among undergraduates in a month." [1]
There is a threshold for an epidemic. "Influenza is a good example for considering how we define an outbreak and it’s not just a number of cases we see. So for influenza, we have a couple of ways of looking at an outbreak. One is to compare the amount of deaths that we see from pneumonia and influenza compared to a seasonally adjusted average. So in this figure, we're comparing a seasonal baseline of influenza cases shown in black, it goes up and down each year. And a defined epidemic threshold is slightly above that seasonal baseline that also goes up and down, here shown in black." [2] The figure in reference is at [3]. Peace.

Oppose, also per
WP:SMALLCAT.
Category:Catholic cathedrals by country is a coherent structure that needs to be kept, especially because of the confusion people make between Catholic and Roman Catholic and the little understanding most people have of the Eastern Catholics. That's precisely why an intermediate Catholic layer is necessary. Placing Roman Catholic and Eastern Catholic separately at the root of a category subtree would be akin to presenting Anglican and Episcopalian topics as part of two different faiths, while in both cases they belong to a single communion. Note that there is also potential for expansion at the Cathedrals in... layer, because in all countries cited except Chile there are notable Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox cathedrals.

Oppose All of these, because in all cases, there may well be cathedrals of other denominations: Cyprus is largely Greek Orthodox; Armenia has its own orthodox denomination. Eritrea probably has Coptic cathedrals. There is
Anglican Church of Chile with 4 dioceses, so that there should be another 4 cathedrals there.

I deplore the use of
WP:CFDS as a way of renaming subcats which could and should have been included in the original nomination, so despite
Cgingold's request that the 2016 CFD include all the categories which they chose to neither list nor tag, I am listing all these here for a full discussion.
However, I agree with Cgingold's 2016 rationale: that the standard term for this topic is 'Disease outbreaks', whereas 'Medical outbreaks' is something of an oddity.
Here is a comparison of the usage of the terms 'Disease outbreak' and 'Medical outbreak'. The sets have been chosen per
WP:Search engine test as sets which concentrate reliable sources:
Gbooks shows about a 5:2 preference for "disease outbreak", but Gbooks includes plenty of non-scholarly works. But JSTOR and Gscolar are 100% scholarly, they prefer "disease outbreak" by 700:1 (JSTOR) and 33:1 (Gscholar).
@
RexxS I think that the most literal meaning of "medical outbreak" would be an "outbreak of medicine". Something like this: For years, the people of Xanadu had treated their ailments with herbs and prayers, but in February 1487 there was a sudden medical outbreak. But by the end of the following month, the region was festooned with hospitals and clinics in which white-coated people dispensed magic potions and miracle cures. It took almost two years for the outbreak to subside, and Xanadu was not entirely medicine-free until 1501. --

Justin, you have angrily and wrongly assumed bad faith, because you failed to read the definition of a term. In calling your tangent a red herring, I did not make a judgement on your intent.
See the articles
Red herring: "A red herring may be used intentionally, as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies (e.g., in politics), or may be used in argumentation inadvertently."
See the full text of the dicdef which you selectively and misleadingly quoted:
wikt:en:red herring: "A clue, information, argument etc. that is or is intended to be misleading, diverting attention from the real answer or issue".
So it is quite clear from both that red herrings can be created unintentionally.
And even if someone did believe that you had intentionally created a red herring (which I don't), that would be a comment on your conduct, not on your character.

Delete the rest, but
Category:Ships of the South Carolina Navy might be worth keeping, as
South Carolina Navy suggests that there were other ships without articles yet. I must express surprise that a frigate should be armed with Swedish 36-pounders as the article states. English ships of the line had 32-pders in their lower deck, these being too heavy for lighter ships such as frigates.

The
ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame was created by the
International Sailing Federation, the Olympic body recognizing for sailing. Being in the Olympics for sailing is definitelhy defining, which is why we have
Category:Olympic sailors. Getting this award later for the same earlier effort is not defining. And, for around half of the winners without an Olympic connection, this award still just reflects other earlier accomplishments in yachting such as the America's Cup or holding a sailing record rather than being the source of their fame and therefore defining. We already have the winners listified
here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. -
@
BrownHairedGirl: 8 out of 13 inductees were related to the Olympics. (You were mistaken with one of your exceptions,
Dennis Conner competed in the Olympics, and
Peter Blake (sailor) was a high ranking Olympic official.) I pride myself and accurately describing the contents though, so I clarified that there is a minority of winners who are non-Olympic related above. Does the revised nomination give a more accurate picture of the contents?

@
RevelationDirect, thanks for the correction about Conner. However, I can't find anything about Blake being involved with the Olympics. So with 6 out 13 non-Olympic, I think that the non-Olympic set would be more fairly described as "nearly half". --

I counted 7 that competed and 1 official (Blake) but, either way, I updated it to be "about half". (I just edited the underlined section; not sure how to clearly show an edit to an edit here.) When I first went through the cat, I looked at the first half alphabetically (who are almost all Olympic) and not the second half (which are almost all not Olympic.

@
Marcocapelle, I am not sure yet. The original grounds were largely mistaken, and I'll have to scrutnise the articles to make up my mind. I know the topic moderately well, so I am leaning towards deletion, but I'll have to check before deciding. --
