Support - categories don't seem that useful to begin with, but if we're going to have them, we should at least have coherent categorization. - Mark D Worthen PsyD(talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 23:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While that's true, all play oboe in a rock context. All are mentioned as such in the articles (e.g., "Davies would later use his woodwind skills on some tracks with his band Icehouse, playing oboe on several albums...", "While in school, [Stevens] studied the oboe and English horn, which he also plays on his albums."). None of the articles in Category:Rock violinists use the phrase "rock violinist" within their text, either. Similarly, the term "rock guitarist" is not used in articles of The Edge, Eric Clapton, or Noel Gallagher, to name just three examples of people who are clearly rock guitarists.

Possibly quite the opposite. If something is so obvious that it's not mentioned directly in an article but can be directly inferred from it, it may well be that it's a major category. Take the Eric Clapton example above. It's never mentioned that he's a rock guitarist, but if you asked 100 people to describe him in two words, that's exactly what a large number of the would say.

Nominator's rationale: Brand new category. (Almost) not WP:DEFINING – I could see theoretically that if there were some article(s) specifically about the investigations themselves, that might work, but none of the things put in here fall under that. Just about any incident involving a death is going to involve a coroner (or medical examiner). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming this CFD closes as delete (and the siblings aren't at CFD) then it would be reasonable to purge the sibling categories and CSD them if empty. DexDor(talk)12:36, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How is this "valuable information"? This is just an indiscriminate collection of people who are somehow possibly connected to G&S, without any definition of the nature of the relationship. Categories like this are exactly why we need to follow WP:OCASSOC. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 15:56, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Gilbert and Sullivan is a specific body of work and a defining specialty, not a casual association. This category helps readers to find biography articles about people who were important in the lives and careers of collaborators W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan and important to the background and history of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Persons who were best known as performers or conductors of Gilbert and Sullivan are NOT included in the category. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:57, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Listify, and delete the category. That way we can add information about exactly what the association is, rather than just having a collection of names. Far more useful to the likes of @Ssilvers, Dreamspy, Jack1956, and AtticTapestry: et al, I would think, and gets round having an unnecessary category. Grutness...wha?01:44, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Listify and delete per above. The place for information about who was associated with G&S is in article text (where it is in context and can be referenced). The category text "... and/or ... also ... but ..." indicates that it's trying to combine several things. DexDor(talk)19:22, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, it currently only contains a redirect and a subcategory. Note that the subcategory is technically referring to marriage in general, but it emerged only while gay marriage became more of an issue (see e.g. the book Against Equality: Queer Critiques of Gay Marriage). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:33, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oposse Not helpful. Having the two topics in the same parent category aids navigation. I would appreciate it if Marcocapelle waited until a consensus had been reached before making a bunch of drastic changes that might very well affect how anyone seeing these discussions view the categories. Pretty sure "SMALLCAT" could end up applying to any category if you remove it from several places before the discussion has ended.★Trekker (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Match name of the article (Schutzstaffel), actual name. The current location should be preserved as category redirect to avoid breaking any incoming external links. buidhe02:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. What's wrong with simple Category:SS? Common name. Easily the primary topic for the term. I honestly think the previous Cfd reached the wrong conclusion. There's also no reason for the article title to be as it is. But in any case, article and category titles should match. Anything else is illogical. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:19, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
