:* Propose renaming :Category:Disambiguation pages with short descriptions to :Category:Disambiguation pages with short description

:Nominator's rationale: Previously moved per :Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 June 4#Category:Disambiguation page with short description; I believe either it should use "short description", in line with its siblings, or all of the siblings renamed to use the plural (I would prefer the former). Qwerfjkltalk 18:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

::Pinging participants of previous discussion: @1234qwer1234qwer4, @SomeBodyAnyBody05, @RevelationDirect, @DexDor, @Xezbeth, @JHunterJ. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:45, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

:::Note that this was moved from the name with "Disambiguation page" in singular; I don't see the other {{tqq|siblings}} in {{cl|Pages with short description}} use a singular there. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:47, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

::::I was referring to it using "short descriptions". I've clarified now. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:49, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

• Rename per :Category:Pages with short description. The plural of 'page with short description' is 'pages with short description'. Oculi (talk) 20:35, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
• Questions Is this category is to group disambiguation pages that begin with "Foo may refer to:" in the header? If so, what administrative purpose does that serve? - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:24, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
• :{{ping|RevelationDirect}} see Wikipedia:Short description. ansh.666 20:46, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose: The current form is grammatically correct. It's "people with noses" not "People with nose", "dogs with tails" not "dogs with tail". Furius (talk) 01:16, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose - see also: Wikipedia:WikiProject Short descriptions. Your choice is either:
• ::a.) Category:Disambiguation pages with a short description
• ::b.) Category:Disambiguation pages with short descriptions
• :To quote C. S. Lewis's Professor Kirke: "What do they teach them at these schools?" : ) - jc37 12:32, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
• ::@Jc37, @Furius, my reason for renaming is consistency with the other members of :Category:Pages with short description, so if this category is to be kept, then the others should be renamed. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:58, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
• Delete as redundant to Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Disambiguation page short description * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:11, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
• No objection to this either. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:03, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
• Leaning delete. I notice that :Category:Disambiguation pages with short descriptions has 344,978 pages, and :Category:All disambiguation pages has 345,099 pages. I suspect that the missing 121 pages reflect some kind of system lag in enumerating the pages. If so (and perhaps even if not), these categories will basically be identical, and therefore redundant. BD2412 T 03:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

:* This is a very important observation. Delete on that basis. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

:*@BD2412, This doesn't seem to be system lag, as neither null edits nor purging fixed it (on one page I tried). See [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?edits%5Bflagged%5D=both&templates_yes=&ores_prediction=any&search_filter=&interface_language=en&wikidata_label_language=&labels_any=&combination=subset&ns%5B0%5D=1&templates_any=&ores_prob_to=&smaller=&namespace_conversion=keep&cb_labels_any_l=1&cb_labels_no_l=1&source_combination=&referrer_url=&search_query=&cb_labels_yes_l=1&since_rev0=&negcats=Disambiguation+pages+with+short+descriptions&project=wikipedia&wikidata_prop_item_use=&langs_labels_any=&referrer_name=&format=html&links_to_no=&search_max_results=500&langs_labels_yes=&maxlinks=&sparql=&max_age=&subpage_filter=either&pagepile=&labels_yes=&after=&sortby=none&links_to_all=&language=en&categories=All+disambiguation+pages&active_tab=tab_categories&doit= this PetScan query]. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:40, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

:: {{re|Qwerfjkl}} What, then, is the source of this 120-count difference out of hundreds of thousands of pages, and is it worth having a separate categorization system? BD2412 T 17:44, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

:::@BD2412, it looks like it's {{X disambiguation}} templates that omit the short description. I support deletion. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:40, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Keep. Originally, I actually closed this discussion as a delete. However, on examination, I realized that the reason this category exists is because of the way Template:Short description works. Currently, this maintenance category is created via a parameter that automatically creates it on Template:Disambiguation page short description. However, if I remove it, it will put all of these pages into the absolutely massive :Category:Articles with short description instead. I believe that this category exists to prevent these disambiguation pages from muddling the "articles" category. bibliomaniac15 03:55, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
• @Bibliomaniac15, surely that means the template should be changed, rather than keeping the category? — Qwerfjkltalk 07:05, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
• :I'm not sure how this can be done without introducing far-reaching changes to Template:Short description. But if it can be done, that's fine too. bibliomaniac15 19:49, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
• ::@Bibliomaniac15, should be fairly easy with a parameter e.g.

: Nominator's rationale - the cfd 2020 March 26#Category:Architects from Dorset resulted in an upmerge to the 2 parent categories. This is is a somewhat belated follow-up for the other counties in England. Oculi (talk) 20:38, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support as nominator. Oculi (talk) 20:38, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose, because I can't see what makes architects not worth categorising by county, when it unquestioned for other professions. If there are indeed architects in these categories who have only a tenuous connection to the place, they can be removed. Sionk (talk) 20:58, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support, but I see that all or most are categorized as eg "19th-century English architects", and {{cl|English architects}} only has 35 members, so they should not be added there, if they have a century - or that should be added. Nice to see a tidy scheme for once. Large numbers "have only a tenuous connection to the place", as we found in the Dorset nom. Johnbod (talk) 03:53, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
• Manually merge per nom and Johnbod. Note that the rationale applies to many other professions too, sportspeople for a start. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
• :Category:American architects are categorised by state and by city. :Category:Italian architects by region and city. Why are English architects to be treated differently? And is it proposed to remove :Category:English architects by city? And what about the rest of :Category:British architects? Rathfelder (talk) 16:31, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
• But not by US county. And some were created by Rathfelder, eg :Category:Architects from Ferrara. Oculi (talk) 17:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
• So the fact that I created categories is now grounds for removing them? Rathfelder (talk) 18:11, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. Architects, more than other occupations, are often very much inked to locations, more in the past than now, and these articles should have a link to them. Its not proposed to remove the city categories so this would leave an incoherent mess. The fact that some articles are miscategorised is not a good argument for deleting a category. Rathfelder (talk) 09:07, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
• Keep The work of architects is clearly linked to location - much more than most occupations and there is no reasons to treat the English ones differently than those in other places.Bigwig7 (talk) 16:06, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

::::Actually architects are very much tied to where the commissions are, and tend to migrate to big cities very early in their career to get the best training, and mostly mostly stay there (though often travelling around for commissions). We found that when the articles in the test discussion on Dorset, linked at the top, were looked at individually. Johnbod (talk) 17:04, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

• Surely this pattern of migration is much more pronounced now than it was historically? And NB Greater Manchester is a conurbation.Rathfelder (talk) 18:09, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• CU note to closer CU data indicates that Rathfelder and Bigwig7 are both operated by the same person. I have blocked both. They have only made one bold !vote in this discussion, so I'm not going to strike anything, but please bear this in mind when weighing the consensus.

• Oppose. Subcategorizing people by geographic location can be done in two different situations: either the location actually has a meaningful impact on the work itself, or an unsubbed parent category would be too large and needs to be diffused for size-control purposes. It's true that this wouldn't likely meet test #1 — but with over 900 people already subbed into this tree, it most certainly does pass test #2. And since England doesn't have states or provinces under it at all, so that its counties are effectively the "first-order" subdivision, they're the only possible basis for size diffusion of an "English X" category, and thus it's entirely irrelevant whether the American sibling has an "American architects by county" scheme or not — American architects are diffused geographically at the state level, which is the only thing that matters here.

:Nominator's rationale: delete, only as early as the 16th century we start having "male actors" and "male writers" subcategories. Earlier than that we do not need parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:09, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
