Dog breeds originating in Asia

[edit]
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: double upmerge. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:22, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category has only one page, and I do not know of any other dog breed originating from Israel. So no more pages will be added. Corsican Warrah (talk) 19:43, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: the additional categories have not been tagged until now.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 23:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Double merge, also to the other parent "Animal breeds originating in Foo". I do find it worrying that so many editors are often content to upmerge small categories to only one parent, even if the categories are intersections of two useful hierarchies. This seems careless, and removes valid information from the encyclopedia. – Fayenatic London 23:36, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Caucasian Shepherd Dog is in 7 (including a redlink) of these "originating in" categories (surely an article should only be in one such category) so a purge is needed. DexDor (talk) 07:15, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I removed "Soviet Union" as anachronistic, and Asia & Europe as unnecessary supercategories. This leaves Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia. As the breed originates in the Caucasus mountains, those seem legitimate. As for the relevance to this CFD nomination, that article is only in one of the nominated categories, and I don't see overlap in the others, so I don't think a purge would have much effect. – Fayenatic London 19:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:11, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category only contains a redirect, which has been recently added to prevent speedy deletion. I can't see any evidence that Edmondson is planning to produce several notable albums anytime soon. Sionk (talk) 20:53, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Hopelessly vague definition of category, containing monuments, capital cities, various geography, etc. etc. etc. 86.161.145.206 (talk) 18:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Howicus i'm still talking to other editors personally on them some sort of a merge... Is it possible for it not to be deleted for maybe a few more weeks to give me some time to close things up. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 18:38, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Zppix: With who are you talking, and with what are you going to merge it? It's very small right now, so you won't lose much work if it is deleted. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 18:40, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Zppix: I notice that you deleted the category yourself. Please note that you shouldn't do anything yourself but to participate in this discussion. The administrator who will close the discussion will also take care of the implementation. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete; merge some contents as appropriate to Category:Rebellions by ethnic group. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:12, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Vague name, fails C2C. There are now Rebellions by country; by ethnic group‎; by ideology; by religious group, in Category:Rebellions for recategorization.Zoupan 13:06, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You have Rebellions by ideology and Rebellions by religious group.--Zoupan 18:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 13:03, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The subcats are named "liturgy" rather than "liturgies". The articles are not all about individual "liturgies", so IMHO the general rule of using plurals in category names does not apply here. (In other words, this is a topic category rather than a set category.) – Fayenatic London 10:41, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. This category only contains a topic article Station days and one church, San Trifone in Posterula, so is not useful for navigation. There is a list at Station_days#Station_churches_of_Lent_and_the_Easter_Octave so the category could be populated, but the list is more informative than a category would be, and I am not sure that this tradition is WP:DEFINING enough to use for categorisation. – Fayenatic London 10:29, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
