:The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic London 05:49, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
:* Propose merging :Category:Twin sportspeople to :Category:Twin people
:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:COP#N, we are instructed that categories should be made for "standard biographical details: year of birth, year of death and nationality [as well as] the reason(s) for the person's notability; i.e., the characteristics the person is best known for.not everything a celebrity does after becoming famous warrants categorization." This is a non-notable intersection birth and profession. In some cases, including in music or modeling, being a twin is notable. However, in sports, it is unrelated or wholly peripheral to the topic's notability. TM 20:18, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Not so sure about it being trivial for sports. For example, it's defining for Steve and Mark Waugh, who both played international cricket for Australia, and are refered to as "the Waugh twins". Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
:: Or indeed the Bryan brothers. Or Gary Neville and Phil Neville. Oculi (talk) 10:07, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge, WP:DEFINING mentions "commonly and consistently" which does not seem to be the case here. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:16, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. This feature is often defining for sportspeople. An example that to mind, hockey players Daniel and Henrik Sedin are consistently referred as twins or the Sedin Twins in e.g. Sedin, Vancouver Canucks, the first lines of their bio articles. They were named co-recipients of individual player awards, and they were even the subject of an elaborate scheme to make sure that they could be selected by the same team during the NHL draft. In this case, and many other cases, being twins had a clearly defining impact on their sports career and their notability. However, the category would not be used for people who just happened to be twins and were never in sports together. Place Clichy (talk) 17:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, defining characteristics for sportspeople. 94.178.234.44 (talk) 12:44, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: delete and redirect. – Fayenatic London 05:44, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
:* Propose deleting {{lc|Sportspeople from Myanmar}}
:Nominator's rationale: The category structure for sportspeople is by country and city, and not by the top-level of country. For example, there are no categories for :Category:Sportspeople from Germany or :Category:Sportspeople from France. Where the city is known, there is the :Category:Sportspeople by city in Myanmar. However, these are Burmese sportspeople who don't have the info of where they are from within the country. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:21, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge into the subcategories of the correctly named {{cl|Burmese sportspeople}} (see also {{cl|German sportspeople}} and {{cl|French sportspeople}}). Grutness...wha? 01:56, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Actually, all the articles are already in that tree, so there's nothing really to merge. Grutness...wha? 02:06, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per Grutness. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Oculi (talk) 09:13, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge or rename We need to clarify what Burmese means. There is a category named "Burmese sportspeople stub". Myanmar used to be called Burma. And that was ethnic appropriation from the more powerful Burmese. There is over 100 ethnic groups in Myanmar with Burmese being one of them. I dont know how to propose the name change or correction but the correct name should included Myanmar.Burmese, Katchin, Kayin, Mon, etc are the all ethnicities. The "Burmese sports people category is reflecting people for many other ethnicity. I propose to RENAME the Burmese sports people category to Myanmese sportspeople. Although many are from various ethnicities, all of them are Myanmese, but not all are Burmese. To correct one user, this category is not correctly named: {{cl|Burmese sportspeople}}. Many of these athletes are not from the Burmese etchnicity, but they are in fact from Myanmar, therefore Myanmese. Please look at the disambiguation page Burmese people, the category confuses the Bamar people also known as Burmese "Bama". Delete Sportspeople from Myanmar and rename Burmese sportspeople for Myanmese sportspeople.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lethweimaster (talk • contribs)
- That would need a far wider discussion than is possible on this process page. I suggest taking this up primarily with Wikipedia:WikiProject Myanmar and proceeding from there. Grutness...wha? 04:02, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- This has been discussed several times already. Burmese is used here unambiguously as the demonym for Myanmar, a usage which is indicated in the Myanmar article infobox. The ethnic group is at {{Cl|Bamar people}}. Place Clichy (talk) 17:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to equivalent Burma categories. We had a mong discussion over this and decided that the country should be called Burma in WP. Leave a cat-redirect to prevent inadvertent repopulation. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: do not delete, therefore rename to :Category:John F. Kennedy High School (Texas) alumni . – Fayenatic London 21:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
:* Propose merging :Category:John F. Kennedy High School (San Antonio, Texas) alumni to :Category:People from San Antonio
:Nominator's rationale: Small category (1 article) that has existed since 2014. TM 14:37, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per 'unless' clause of WP:SMALLCAT: part of :Category:Alumni by high school in Texas, but rename to :Category:John F. Kennedy High School (San Antonio) alumni per :John F. Kennedy High School (San Antonio). Oculi (talk) 17:59, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
:There are 95 categories in that scheme, but there are over 3,200 high schools in the state, so I don't think the 'unless' applies. I don't think we have agreed to create a category for every high school alumni so I am not sure how it applies.--TM 18:31, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
:: We have, for high schools with at least 1 notable alumnus. Most high schools have no notable alumni, much as many artists have no notable songs (cf {{cl|Songs by artist}}). And then there are notable alumni for whom a sourced reference for their school cannot be found. And why is there "no potential for growth"? Oculi (talk) 10:56, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
::: Is that policy? If so, can you please link to it? As for the possibility of growth, I would point to the category's existence since 2014 and the inclusion of a single article.--TM 16:48, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge, we shouldn't stretch the smallcat exception too far. I can imagine we categorize alumni of well-known secondary schools which have generated a lot of famous people, but just any random secondary school is not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:22, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Oculi. Debresser (talk) 18:40, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep (perhaps renamed) -- Alumni by high school is a widely accepted cat-type. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:10, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep we have heretofore figured that one's high school is a notable characteristic, thus this is part of some big tree exception to WP:SMALLCAT. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- :Then we should have a discussion and formally codify that. To me, it doesn't make sense to have hundreds of categories with a couple of articles in them but if it is to be so, we should at least make it formal.--TM 13:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- :: There were many such discussions long ago, eg Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_April_21#High_school_alumni_(United_States). Oculi (talk) 23:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Note, page is now at John F. Kennedy High School (Texas) as there are no other schools of this name in Texas, and in line with the formatting of other schools. Steven (Editor) (talk) 01:12, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|German kings of Burgundy}}
:Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF as "king of Burgundy" was a mere secondary title of the Holy Roman Emperors and the Kings of the Romans of this period; WP:OVERLAPCAT therefore also applies. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- See also previous discussion which was closed as "no consensus". Marcocapelle (talk) 08:09, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to :Category:Kings of Burgundy and purge. See List of kings of Burgundy for detail. This should be limited to c953-1032 when there was a separate polity. At this period, "French" and "German" are problematic is distinguish at this level. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
:* This already happened. Rudolf I up to Rudolf III are directly in :Category:Kings of Burgundy. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Secondary titles are not defining so long as they are already categorized by the primary one. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:06, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The title is defining for these rulers. Dimadick (talk) 18:37, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Politics overviews by decade to :Category:Politics by decade
:Nominator's rationale: merge, as "overview" is subjective and not a defining characteristic. In practice it is being used as a kind of a WP:SHAREDNAME category for all "20x0s in something" articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:01, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Suggest rename. Okay, thanks. is there perhaps an option that might be more viable for this category's name? Would "Political history by decade" be more feasible? thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 14:02, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
:* That is more or less synonymous to :Category:Politics by decade, the fact that it is by decade implies that it is a history category. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:13, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - at present :Category:Politics by decade is a container category (typical subcat scheme for :Category:Politics). :Category:Politics overviews by decade in contrast has no subcats.

- Comment -- all the sub-cats are called political history, but we only have articles on 2010s and the barely started 2020s. In due course these may need to be split into :Category:Political histories of the 2010s by country, etc. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

- true enough. I appreciate your comments above, at various points in this colloquy. I assume the role of these items is apparent, but if further comment is needed, I am glad to discuss. I assume my opinion on this topic is not one whit more important than that of any other editor here. I appreciate your help. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 17:29, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that there is no need for a category of political history by decade separate from :Category:Politics by decade, so merge there. As the one-year "overview" pages are both in the year and the decade categories, e.g. 2000 in politics is both in :Category:2000 in politics and :Category:2000s in politics, I have also added these decade "overview" pages to 2010s/2020s politics and :Category:21st century in politics. – Fayenatic London 07:12, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
