The result of the discussion was: Standardise at Judiciary of; with specific modifications as noted below. Timrollpickering (Talk) 08:32, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that the naming for categories of the judiciary of a specific country be standardized. Currently, some are named "Judiciary of ___", and others "Judicial system of ___" (as well as a few that conform to neither pattern).

  • "Judiciary" for brevity with no objection to another option that reaches concensus to standardize the naming. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:05, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There have been several CFD discussions on this over several years and sundry jurisdictions. Attempts to apply constitutional norms of the 3 branches of government (legislature/executive/judiciary) have foundered when demands have been presented to the effect of "show me where the constitution of Foo says that there are 3 branches of government". In many cases they are implicit, such as in the Irish constitution or unwritten such as the UK "constitution". It's further complicated that in the Anglo-centric world, "courts" (as in the different hierarchies from Supreme to High to Circuit to District) is often synonymous with the judges themselves making it difficult to distinguish the person (the judge) from his office (in the court building) when both may be covered by the term"judiciary". Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:20, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Preferably Judiciary (but judicial system would also be acceptable) - The concept of executive, legislative and judicial branches of government arises from (I think) 18th century constitutional theorists. Care needs to be taken in dealing with the exceptions at the end of the nom that their scope is not inadvertently altered by the rename. We need Category:Federal judiciary of the United States, and Switzerland (to distinguish federal from state/canton). Keep UK plural as at present because England and Wales; Scotland; and Northern Ireland each have their own judiciary. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:08, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Certainly standardize with a preference for Judiciary, per article title Judiciary. Peterkingiron's additional comments should be taken into consideration as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:16, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Standardize I prefer judiciary. Rathfelder (talk) 08:19, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Standardize at judiciary. "Judicial system" can sometimes be used a bit more informally, to encompass organs of the judicial function of the state beyond just the courts. bd2412 T 17:40, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As the article Domestic workers says: Servant is an older English word for "domestic worker" Rathfelder (talk) 21:41, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- A lot of the content is about domestic servants, but not all servants are/were domestics. Herod's chamberlain Blastus probably had a higher status. The category included indentured servants, who were certainly not necessarily domestics We do not have "civil servants" in the category, but they are "servants". It is an archaic use (who still used in legal textbooks), but every employee is a servant of his employer/master. The nom's objective might be achieved by manually reclassifying much of the content to Category:Domestic servants. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:16, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Renamed by Ish ishwar (talk · contribs) (non-admin closure). Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:37, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:ASTONISH magnet for incorrect categorization. This doesn't even have an article at Queen (shogi) (disambiguation is consistent with Category:Kisei (shogi)/Kisei (shogi)). The category for the band was renamed in 2006 at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 November 21#Queen category and there was clear consensus against a rename back at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 June 28#Category:Queen (band). On Commons the band is at Commons:Category:Queen (musical group) and Commons:Category:Queen is a DAB as a result of Commons:Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/10/Category:Queen (which I nominated). I suggest that this category is moved and Category:Queen become a DAB page here listing the shogi, Category:Queens and Category:Queen (band). Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
makes sense to me. I just used an unused category since it was there. Keeping a category disambig rather than simply deleting the page would make it clear to other folks like me that the category should remain empty for whatever reason. Let's just do it. – ishwar  (speak) 18:17, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ish ishwar: can I tag it for speedy renaming under WP:C2E? Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:25, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Ok, you can do whatever you think is best. I already created Category:Queen (shogi) (as i find all the bureaucratic wikipedia stuff needlessly timeconsuming). Can you turn the old category into a disambig page? (i would have to search for the right template stuff myself...) – ishwar  (speak) 18:29, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 10:36, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT for just one brewery. This is not an exceptionally common model for structuring breweries -- they're usually incorporated as commercial companies rather than non-profit organizations -- so there really isn't a strong prospect of future growth here, if the category's existed for four years but this is still the only item in it. The entry is already appropriately subcategorized for its status as a brewery, so a double upmerge in that direction is not necessary -- but the article would legitimately still belong in Category:Non-profit corporations. Bearcat (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Leaning Toward Delete We actually have the beers by Belgian monks at Category:Trappist breweries in Belgium but I dont think what's defining there is their non-profit status. Open to other viewpoints though. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:10, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those breweries are generally intended to make a profit to benefit the monastery (which may be a non-profit organization). DexDor (talk) 20:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:27, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME and the spirit of WP:C1, an empty category
No conceptual objection to this category, but it consists of 4 articles with nothing to do with the prominent Indian politician Syama Prasad Mukherjee except for being named after him . The power station, stadium, zoo and swimming pool complex would have been built anyway and have little clear connection to Mr. Mukherjee. (No objection to recreating the category if we ever get up to 5 or so articles of actual monuments and memorials and no objection to creating a list article now.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME and the spirit of WP:C1, an empty category
No conceptual objection to this category, but it consists of 3 articles with nothing to do with the prominent British colonial governor William Tryon except for being named after him . The Canadian town, American town and park (which is actually named after a fort named after him) have little clear connection to Mr. Tryon. (No objection to recreating the category if we ever get up to 5 or so articles of actual monuments and memorials and no objection to creating a list article now.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, it would be a different issue when the category would have contained e.g. statues erected with the purpose to commemorate William Tyron, but that is apparently not the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per SHAREDNAME. It may be appropriate to listify the articles in the biography. This case is worse than the one above as two of the articles are no places perhaps named for him. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:24, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
