Nominator's rationale: delete, 'locality' is a rather vague term and the category seems to coincide with Category:Neighbourhoods and suburbs of Madurai for which we already have a category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: There is no scheme for "songs covered by artist" (e.g. Twist and Shout is categorized in Category:The Beatles songs not Category:Songs covered by the Beatles), and I believe only one song in this category is notable and/or defining enough to be placed in Category:Tiny Tim (musician) songs.

Nominator's rationale: Tidyup following page move, and to avoid confusion Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 19:23, 15 June 2021 (UTC) reply
@ Marcocapelle:, Potentially, although they are separate Wikipedia pages. The competition was reformed in 2006 under a different name (originally Air New Zealand Cup before becoming Mitre 10 Cup), but ahead of this season has reverted to the National Provincial Championship moniker. The competition now has far fewer teams than it did from 1976–2005, but I'm not opposed to merging. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 09:04, 25 June 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 18:28, 6 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Unworkable category due to applying only to pages that get overwritten by bots, see User talk:JPxG/Archive6#Active Wikipedia database reports. The pages currently in this category are almost exclusively those that haven't been overwritten by a bot since the category was added on May 17, and thus are not active. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:02, 16 June 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: This category is kind of a dog as it stands. Pppery is correct – I applied these to all of the reports that were active in May, but since the category isn't in the template used by bots to generate the pages, it perversely only includes the reports that haven't been updated since then (currently, one day less than a month). If there's a way to add this category to the bots' templates, I think this would obviously make it useful. Otherwise, yes, all of the things in here can be moved to the category for inactive reports (with the inactive tag) and it can be deleted. jp× g 02:18, 17 June 2021 (UTC) reply
    It's not quite all of them: some of the pages in this category are {{ DBR index}}es, which only transclude or link to other pages and don't themselves get overwritten, or {{ wikidata list}}s, where the bot is smart enough to not overwrite the category addition. Any merger to the inactive category needs to be done manually. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:30, 17 June 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I'm not sure about all of the pages in this category but Wikipedia:Database reports/Uncategorized categories updates every week which seems to be "active' to me. I'm not sure why it matters whether it is updated by a bot or a human editor. Liz Read! Talk! 01:38, 11 July 2021 (UTC) reply
    The original reason I nominated was because the bots weren't including the category when they updated the page. It appears that this has been remedied for some reports, and the bot is now including the category, so my original rationale no longer applies. I still think this should be deleted, since shares the same problem as all "Current/Active foo" categories (that it's likely nobody will remove reports from the category if they stop being updated) and there's already a more complete list of all reports including the time they last ran at Wikipedia:Database reports, but it's at least no longer serving a purpose directly opposite to its name. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:16, 12 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Category:Wikipedia database reports needing attention

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. – Fayenatic London 18:31, 6 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Per the description, These pages need attention from a developer or bot operator because they are either not producing useful output, or they are not being updated at all. In every case I checked, the problem was the latter (not being updated), making the category redundant to Category:Inactive Wikipedia database reports, and in no cases I can find has any attention been given as a result of this category being added. Also, not producing useful output is subjective (a report can be useful to one person but not another person). I'm proposing deletion rather than a merge because this category went on the talk page whereas the inactive category goes on the subject page, and this category was added by one person in 2016, making it too out of date to be a good merge candidate. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:16, 16 June 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. I'm not sure if a sub-template of {{ DYKT}} may have been changed since the nomination, but the current contents are category talk pages, template talk pages and WT pages; i did not find any that are redirects, so the purpose expressed by John Cline does not seem to be in operation. – Fayenatic London 12:55, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: All pages in this category are talk pages which instead of being tagged as a "soft redirect" should actually be a full redirect with the following:

#REDIRECT [[Wikipedia talk:Did you know]] {{Redirect category shell| {{R from remote talk page}} }} There is no reason for either the category nor for not directly leading the users to the talk page. Gonnym ( talk) 10:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NOT, WP:COP and WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:TRIVIALCAT)
I certainly can't argue WP:SMALLCAT here because, according to the Cleft lip and cleft palate article, it occurs "in about 1 to 2 per 1000 births in the developed world" and these biographies are from the developed world. Comedian Cheech Marin, racing executive Charles Jeter, and singer Richard Hawley are not remotely defined by this medical condition and the articles give it a passing mention in the "early life" sections.

The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac 1 5 03:12, 22 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The article about the structure and titular mineral is Sphalerite. Also, this is mainly about materials, so the title should clearly state this. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 17:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Oppose - The name of the category is taken from Cubic crystal system#Zincblende structure. Doing a quick search, zincblende also seems to be the more common name. All crystal structures refer to materials, so I don't think this adds any new information. 〈  Forbes72 |  Talk 〉 19:06, 13 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Does this mean that the Sphalerite article should be moved? – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 19:52, 13 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Ah, I can see that redirect is confusing. I don't think that's necessary. "Sphalerite" is a more common name than "Zincblende" when referring to a mineral, but "zincblende/zinc blende" is apparently the preferred name when referring to the crystal structure. (just going by search engine hits here) Sphalerite concerns the mineral; the place for a discussion of the crystal structure is the section in cubic crystal system. I do think it would be better to have zincblende redirect to Cubic crystal system#Zincblende structure though. 〈  Forbes72 |  Talk 〉 22:24, 13 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Most of them are semiconductors, yes, but zincblende Mercury sulfide is a topological insulator and zincblende Chromium(II) selenide and Mercury telluride are better described as half-metals. There's at least a half dozen other similar exceptions that might come up later, but don't have articles at the moment. What do you suggest here? 〈  Forbes72 |  Talk 〉 22:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- I am not an expert (my chemistry degree being nearly 50 years old), but this is a classification of crystal types. I am not sure that all are semiconductors. Zinc blende is a crystalline mineral, rather than a chemical compound as such. We cannot redirect a category to an article: that does not work. The main article should be Cubic crystal system#Zincblende structure. I understand sphalerite to be a more geological name for the same mineral. The appropriate rename would be to Category:Zinc blende-type crystal structure or Category:sphalerite-type crystal structure or Category:Structurbericht designation B3 or an English translation of the latter.
  • Keep Are we designing Wikipedia in preference for specialists like crystallographers or for the use of all of us who don't understand sophisticated specialist vocabulary? Zincblende e.g. is a word you find in a crystallography museum or bestowments shop and - just as I do - even remember but "sphalerite crystal stucture" is beyond the understanding of most all of us! -- Just N.

Rename to Category:Rock salt crystal structure. I agree the abbreviation was a mistake. Out of the three names, rock salt seems to be the most popular. However, specifying "materials" doesn't provide any new information. 〈  Forbes72 |  Talk 〉 19:13, 13 June 2021 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands, are islands themselves, and neither of the two are a separate administrative region containing the surrounding islands, as far as I can see. So "islands of" does not make too much sense in this case and they can can better be merged to the broader category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:22, 21 May 2021 (UTC) reply
