== Category:Arabs in Ottoman and British Palestine ==
: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: rename to :Category:Arab people in British Palestine. There may need to be a CFD to make the naming of these categories consistent, e.g. {{cl|Arab people by occupation}} {{cl|Arab people by country of citizenship}}, {{cl|Arab people by ethnic or national origin}}, but {{cl|Arab citizens of Israel}}, {{cl|Arabs in the Roman Empire}} and :Category:Arabs in Ottoman Palestine.
- Rename :Category:Arabs in Ottoman and British Palestine to :Category:Arabs in British Palestine
- Nominator's rationale we already have :Category:Arabs in Ottoman Palestine, so there is no reason we should keep this category with it odd merger of two distinct historical periods.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:54, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Rename to :Category:Arab people in British Palestine. 'Fooian people' is the WP categorization naming standard, as in :Category:Arab people. Mayumashu (talk) 01:02, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- if renamed then use :Category:British-Palestine Arabs for consistency with 'Fooian people' Ephebi (talk) 15:26, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:20, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Rename :Category:People of the Ottoman Empire to :Category:Ottoman people
- Rename :Category:Arabs of the Ottoman Empire to :Category:Ottoman Arabs
- Rename :Category:Women of the Ottoman Empire to :Category:Ottoman women
- Rename :Category:Christians in the Ottoman Empire to :Category:Ottoman Christians
- Nominator's rationale Most of this category uses the Ottoman form, such as :Category:Ottoman people by occupation, :Category:Ottoman Jews, :Category:Ottoman Greeks, :Category:Ottoman writers and lots more. There is no reason these should use the x of Ottoman Empire form. There are a few others that use the x of Ottoman Empire that should stay but those involve holders of offices of the empire, such as :Category:Sultans of the Ottoman Empire.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:32, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Rename all per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:54, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Rename all except one to :Category:Arab people of the Ottoman Empire. 'Fooian people' is the WP standard for people by nationality or culture, as in :Category:Arab people, and as per :Category:Arab people of British Palestine. Mayumashu (talk) 01:04, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- The most relevant sister categories are :Category:Ottoman Armenians, :Category:Ottoman Jews, :Category:Ottoman Greeks and so forth. The Ottoman Empire was a multi-ethnic state, and we generally put Ottoman first. I guess we could name it :Category:Ottoman Arab people, but its sister cats do not use people. We are trying to get rid of the "of the Ottoman Empire" form in most cases.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Keep -- I think the present form preferable. "Ottoman" refers to the descendants of Osman, the founder of the ruling dynasty. I consider that WP is wrong in applying the term as if it were an adjective for the state. 18th century British Customs Accounts classify trade with the area as with "Turkey". Today we use "Turkish" as a term for the people of (modern) Turkey; people of Turkish ethnicity elsewhere are (I think) usually referred to as Turcomans. Arabs, Jews, Greeks, Christians etc of the Ottoman Empire is an accurate description. To call a Christian (whether Greek, Armenian, Assyrian or Maronite) an Ottoman or even a Turk is a misdescription. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:10, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- Rename as nominated. "FOOian people" is the convention for nationality. I don't think most people interpret "Ottoman people" as meaning "descendants of Osman". Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:00, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge :Category:Greek women of the Ottoman Empire to :Category:Ottoman Greeks
- Nominator's rationale x women categories are only supposed to be used as holding categories for more specific categories or for general articles, as is doen with :Category:American women. They are not supposed to be used as categories to group all biographies of women. However we only have bio articles directly in this category and no sub-cats, so we should just move. It should not be merged to :Category:Women of the Ottoman Empire because that is a contained cat.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:55, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

- Merge as Mayumashu, but I do not see why they should not be upmerged also into :Category:Women of the Ottoman Empire. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:34, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- The reason to not upmerge them there is because that is a container category, not to have biographical articles. If they fit in appropriate subcats of that category, they can be moved such, but contained categories like that are not to have biographical articles, so we cannot merge these biographical articles there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:17, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I have tagged the target because it is being considered for renaming. I think the current name works fine, and see no reason to rename the category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:21, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

- Keep as per Good Ol'factory. --Gibmetal 77talk 2 me 11:21, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment -- The subject is effectively "people of Gilbraltar". The target is an expatriate ones. Contrary to some recent noms, Gibraltar is a dependent territory of UK, not part of UK. It has its own native population, who have been there since the British occupation of the headland over 300 years ago. Legally they are citizens of a British overseas territory. That is effectively an ethnicity. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:41, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- The target is not an expatriate category. It is a standard name for people by place below a certain level. The "from" in no way implies the people are no longer there, anymore than does :Category:People from Michigan.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:22, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Roller coasters introduced in 2013}}
:Nominator's rationale: This category should not exist until a roller coaster has opened in 2013. Problems can lead to these roller coasters not opening in 2013 so the category shouldn't exist until there's a use for it. This has been the standard for the previous years.

:The result of the discussion was: keep, but this decision does not preclude creating subcategories. This would be a parent category and would not need to get deleted.

:* Propose splitting :Category:21st-century actors to unknown
:Nominator's rationale: Not sure what to do with this category but it needs to split or it's going to become messy and useless. For the entire 100 years, {{cl|20th-century actors}} totalled 1,048 entries but, 12 years into the millenium this cat already has 1,460 and is going to become ridiculously large. AussieLegend (✉) 15:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Keep as is. I fail to see how the category is useless when it grows. Dimadick (talk) 15:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

:::How is it particularly large? "Category:American film actors" has about 15000 entries. Dimadick (talk) 16:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
::::{{cl|Very large categories}} defines very large categories as larger than 1,000 entries. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:31, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:::::The argument is not that the category is not needed but that it should be split. Saying keep does not make sense.
Keep although I have to admit I am not convinced that people by occupation by century is as useful a way to break categories down as some think.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)- Question Are people by occupation by century categories allowed to be broken down by nationality or is that too precise? If so, I could see breaking this category down.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Split by nationality It makes sense to split a category like actors by nationality by century.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:24, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- This has been done for the writers by century category, but only for French and Irish writers, at least in the 20th and 21st centuries.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:27, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Keep per Dimadick. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Keep per Dimadick. I agree with everything Dimadick has said. I fail to see why the category shouldn't be kept as is. - And we drown talk · 8:18, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- As indicated above by somebody else, "keep" votes don't make sense as I'm not proposing that we delete the category, just split it into more manageable chunks. What are the advantages to not doing this? --AussieLegend (✉) 09:14, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- If the category is split, it will become an essentially empty category with multiple subcategories. So "Keep as is" votes do make sense. And the obvious advantage of any large category is giving an easy overview of its subject to anyone searching for the info. Numerous small categories do not particularly help from a reader's perspective. --Dimadick (talk) 09:32, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- I said keep as is. Not only keep. And keep votes do make sense, sorry. The advantage of one big category for each century is that is makes things far easier for everybody. One should be able to look for actors by century and not have to then know what country they were from or something else in order to find them. I don't think more precise categories are going to do anybody any favors, and I think the burden of proof is on you here, AussieLegend to convince us why things shouldn't stay the same. These actors by century categories make sense to not be broken down into smaller categories, and clearly most of us seem to think that. - And we drown talk · 14:35 PM, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- All three people who have voted for keep. That is hardly "most" of anything.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Delete -- A split by time (e.g. decade) is difficult, because a typical actor will be active for several decades. A 19th century category may be appropriate, but about a year ago, we had a large scale cull of categories making a 20th/21st century. I think the answer is that they shall all be distributed to appropriate (probably national) subcategories of "actors". Accordingly the initial action will need to be a merge (without retaining redirect). Peterkingiron (talk) 17:08, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I wish the person had come up with a clear split plan before the nomination. I think the best way to split is by country, and we can retain the century. If we have :Category:19th-century French writers, :Category:20th-century French writers and :Category:21st century-French writers, I see no reason why we should not do similar categories for actors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:25, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment This is actually an extremely underutlized category, and if anything :Category:20th-century actors may be even more underutlizied. I went through the first 10 entires in :Category:American film actors and none of them had been put in an actors by century cat. The fact that :Category:American film actors has 15,000 articles directly in it while :Category:20th century actors and :Category:21st century actors both have 1,700 or so articles in them, suggests that this is an extremely underutilized category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:41, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Exactly. These are underpopulated categories. I am also uncertain why the cull of categories mentioned by Peterkingiron took place. Just to make articles more difficult to locate? Dimadick (talk) 22:37, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- I think the logic is that we are not supposed to split people into present and past categories, and that is what is essentially going on when you only have two categories. However since we do have :Category:19th-century actors, :Category:18th-century actors, :Category:17th-century actors and so forth, this is not an issue here. It would probably be a good reason not to subdivide into film actors, television actors, radio actors etc., since those categories will at present be limited to mostly just two century cats (how many films were made in the 19th century?). I think we should also work to make sure that people only get placed in actors cats for centuries in which they actually acted. If someone was born in 1082, but did not appear professionally until 2001, they should not be in the 20th-century actors cat.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:48, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Several hundreds of (short) films were created in the 19th-century, but since most of them were non-fiction documentaries the people depicted could hardly be listed as actors. The 19th-century category should be dominated by stage actors. Dimadick (talk) 09:13, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- Either split actors from actresses, or split by nationality. Statυs (talk) 12:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- Categories separating actors by sex have been created and deleted about 26 times. There is still an ongoing discussion whether the latest recreation should be deleted. See the relevant discussion in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_November_30#Actresses. Dimadick (talk) 13:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- Actually the main discussion of the splitting actors by gender issue is at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Actresses_categorization.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- AS I indicated above 19th 18th 17th and 16th century categories would be appropriate, but the 20th and 21st century ones would not. WE did a mass cull on the 20th/21st century distinction as an attempt to get a past/present distinction by the back door. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment it seems that there is no support for deleting this category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:07, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Keep Could we keep the category and then split it into subsections such as nationalities?--5 albert square (talk) 00:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Since that is what has been done with both :Category:19th-century writers and :Category:20th-century writers, although never as agressively built than this category and the 20th-century actors categories, I see no reason not to. In fact, technically the splitting out nationalities could be done without CfD endorsement, but it is better to seek a consensus on the matter before acting, although the lack of many comments seems to indicate not many care. My guess is this category could be brought to about 10,000 entries without any new articles added to wikipedia, maybe not quite that many, but close. I would urge people to caution, and to not add people to a century category unless they acted in a forum at least widely viewed during the century involved. I thought of saying "professional forum", but would not limit it in all cases.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

- Comment the second target should be :Category:People of Taishan descent, which is the normal format for expatriate categories. If a split is to be undertaken, the nom will need to do the work, by adding the right target category to each article. It is not reasonable to ask the closing admin to do this.

- Merge to :Category:Tropical cyclone templates, matching main article and main category structure. --Qetuth (talk) 07:37, 9 December 2012 (UTC)----

:* Propose merging :Category:Psychiatry community services to :Category:Psychiatric services
:Nominator's rationale: the distinction is too fine to break it out. ps. if kept it still needs to be renamed "Psychiatric community services". Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:01, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge - category was meant to encompass care in the community type services but probably ill conceived. Also, as noted, noun used instead of adjective - doh - sorry about that. FiachraByrne (talk) 19:54, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge as better wording146.90.110.75 (talk) 07:43, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

: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: self-close; category was speedily deleted as empty after contents were all deleted. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
:* Propose renaming :Category:Latin Americans YouTube Channels to :Category:Spanish-language YouTube channels
:Nominator's rationale: Rename. Since YouTube is on the Internet, I think it makes more sense to divide YouTube channels by language than by area of the world that they originate from. (Some of the original contents of the category have been deleted, so deletion/upmerge to {{Cat|YouTube channels}} is another possibility.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:32, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge to :Category:YouTube channels. No reason to have a one-article category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:48, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Did you mean :Category:YouTube channels? Vegaswikian (talk) 23:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I have corrected this. I guess I should not have assumed that this category uses the standard capitzlization form.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:37, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- Merge per John Pack Lambert. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:01, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Delete. Contains one article only, which does not even seem notable. Nymf hideliho! 15:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment for what it is worth this category now has no entries, so renaming at this point probably does not make sense. I am not sure what happened to the one article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:38, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- It may well have been deleted. All of the contents were nominated for deletion either through PROD or AFD, so I expect that's what has happened. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- I speedied the only article in the cat. Nymf hideliho! 07:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, OK. I guess this can be safely deleted then, and it will be speedily deleted as empty before too long. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
