:The result of the discussion was: rename to :Category:Hebrew Bible judges. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 11:08, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Judges of ancient Israel to :Category:Biblical judges

::: Alt renaming :Category:Judges of ancient Israel to :Category:Book of Judges judges

::: Alt 2 renaming :Category:Judges of ancient Israel to :Category:Hebrew Bible judges

:Nominator's rationale: WP:C2D Biblical judges. PS: See however Talk:Biblical judges#Proposed move to Hebrew Bible judges.

:: Alt rationale: WP:C2C per parent :Category:Book of Judges people and sibling :Category:Book of Judges monarchs. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:49, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

:: Alt 2 rationale: WP:C2C per grandparent :Category:Hebrew Bible people, and to prevent confusion with "judges" mentioned in the New Testament and the Deuterocanonical books. See also Talk:Biblical judges#Proposed move to Hebrew Bible judges. (Added on the recommendation of Marcocapelle, Fayenatic and William Allen Simpson). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 11:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

:But (as nom) I currently prefer the Alt nom WP:C2C "by book" approach, :Category:Book of Judges judges, because it is objective (it's either explicitly mentioned in the specific book, or it's not), while endless WP:SUBJECTIVECAT arguments can be made about whether Moses and Joshua can be counted as "judges" or not if the text is ambiguous and you need to make cross-books analyses and interpretations (which Wikipedia shouldn't do, because of WP:SYNTH). I think that therefore the WP:C2C approach (which I had initially incorrectly called WP:C2B) of established category trees is a much safer approach to make both categorisation and navigation easier, less ambiguous and less contentious. And I know that {{xt|Book of Judges judges}} may seem a little tautological, but I propose it exactly to clear up this confusion about supposed "judges" mentioned elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:21, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

::PS: William Allen Simpson had a very good point that even if you want to include Moses and Joshua as "judges", they are probably not best described as "of ancient Israel". Both options solve that problem. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:33, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

::* In that case I would prefer :Category:Hebrew Bible judges including Moses, Joshua, Eli and Samuel. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:44, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

::*:How is that different from "Biblical judges"? Are there judges in the New Testament or Deuterocanonicals? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

:::* Apologies, of course it is not. The discussion was about objectivity and I had in mind that judges from the Hebrew Bible isn't any less subjective than judges from the book of Judges. Anyway, I am still supporting :Category:Biblical judges only, this is a category by occupation and I do not see why it is helpful to remove 4 articles about that occupation by limiting the category to one book. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:36, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Hebrew Bible judges is a good alternative, within {{c|Hebrew Bible people}}. It would avoid e.g. Pilate being added. – Fayenatic London 09:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

:* That is a good point. Then :Category:Hebrew Bible judges including Moses, Joshua, Eli and Samuel appears to be the best solution after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:12, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

:*:Why would anyone add Pilate? Just because he presided over the "trial of Jesus" at Pilate's court doesn't make him a "biblical judge". He's just the Roman governor (prefect) of Judea. He's not mentioned in Biblical judges or Template:Judges, both of which explicitly limit the "biblical judges" to the Hebrew Bible. Likewise the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus doesn't portray the Sanhedrin as "judges", they are first and foremost priests, clerics. If I'm not wrong, the New Testament never identifies any specific person in the narrative as a "judge", except

:*:* in some teachings of Jesus, e.g. "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison." (Matthew 5:25), where the judge is unnamed, or

:*:* in some parables, e.g. the Parable of the Unjust Judge in Luke 18, where the judge is again unnamed, or

:*:* in analogies wherein the Christian God has the role of a judge, e.g. "Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?" (Romans 3:6). But you wouldn't categorise :Category:God in Christianity as :Category:Biblical judges, would you?

:*:If we are really worried about confusion, then :Category:Book of Judges judges is the best grouping we can go for. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:03, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

:*{{ping|Fayenatic london|Marcocapelle|Nederlandse Leeuw}} to make this work, we'll need concurrent consensus at the main article. Talk:Biblical judges#Proposed move to Hebrew Bible judges.

:Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEGRS: {{tq|people should only be categorized by ethnicity or religion if this has significant bearing on their career.}} Having a native language that belongs to a certain language family is WP:NONDEFINING for an individual's career.

  • Delete, the word "Germanic" is used for ancient and early medieval peoples, and for a language family. The category content matches neither of them. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:46, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  • :I agree. Germanic peoples and various category trees also maintain this notion that we can no longer talk about "Germanic people(s)" after the early Middle Ages. I'm starting with these relatively easy cases before moving on to more complicated related cats containing the word "Germanic", where it results in similar problems. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:32, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete. Language family is not a correct way to categorize people. A container category for Liechtenstein, Luxembourgian, Norman, Frankish and English people (and, in the case of the parent category, Gothic and Rus' people as well) makes no sense. Place Clichy (talk) 23:42, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

== Category:Television news program articles using incorrect naming style ==

: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: No consensus to delete category; use template rather than adding category directly.. – Fayenatic London 21:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose cleanup discussion {{lc|Television news program articles using incorrect naming style}}

:Nominator's rationale: This is a hidden maintenance category; it's not inherently invalid, but there is a structural problem that may require reconsideration of how best to organize it. The problem is that it's both hidden and directly declared on articles rather than being transcluded by a maintenance template, meaning that it's effectively invisible to editors and thus doesn't get removed if and when the problem that necessitated adding it to the article in the first place gets corrected — for example, I just had to do an WP:AWB run to remove it from a full one-third of its former contents because the pages had already been moved to fix the relevant titling problem three or four years ago.
As well, there are several articles here for which I'm unclear on any potential alternative that they could be renamed to — for example, there are several British regional news programs that share the same title as each other and thus are disambiguated by region, but that seems very much like the only viable option for disambiguating newscasts in that situation, and thus it's questionable whether they belong here at all.
So this may potentially need to be transferred to a maintenance template, so that pages that get corrected and have their template removed accordingly are automatically dropped from the category instead of having to get noticed and cleaned up years later — but as a directly declared and simultaneously hidden category, it isn't working. Bearcat (talk) 14:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

::I don't oppose deletion (as creator), but the fact that 1/3 of the pages in it had their page moved to a correct title means that the category works. The issue with editors not removing it is indeed regrettable, but doesn't negate its usefulness. Gonnym (talk) 14:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

:::I didn't propose deletion, I merely proposed changing how it's used. But it's doubtful that it "works", exactly, since given its invisible nature there's no evidence that the category was responsible for the page titles getting corrected (especially since the other 2/3 didn't get corrected at the same time). This kind of thing really only works if it's intrusive enough (e.g. a big maintenance template at the top of the article) that people see it and feel motivated to fix it. Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

::::As the mover of Tagesschau (Italian TV programme)‎ and Tagesschau (German TV programme), to which I saw Bearcat's removal of the category, I can say that I had no idea of this category's existence. -- AxG / ✉  22:46, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

  • Replace with template then Delete — with a template, there's no need for a category. In the past, we always used "What links here" on the template.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

::Maintenance categories that group pages with a specific maintenance template on them are perfectly reasonable things to have, and indeed often are used (e.g. {{cl|All uncategorized pages}}). This certainly does need to be associated with a template so that it's visible, and automatically removed when resolved, but it's not an inherently unreasonable category on principle. Bearcat (talk) 16:35, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

:::{{cl|All uncategorized pages}} et alia are done with the engine or a bot. These are tagged by a human (or a very specific bot). A template is both better and sufficient. In the old days, I'd include a link to What Links Here on the template itself; one click maintenance, less computationally intensive than a template+category. We only started to use categories once we had parser functions to detect very specific errors. This is about page titles, no parser functions needed.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:11, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

::::{{cl|All uncategorized pages}} is not "done with the engine or a bot" — it's a category, structured the same as any other category, and it's merely transcluded by the application of a maintenance template to the page instead of being directly declared as a Category:Bla bla statement in its own right. Which is all I'm asking for here: I'm not asking for it to be deleted, I'm asking for it to become associated with a maintenance template so that editors know it's there because there's a maintenance template on the page. Bearcat (talk) 13:41, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

:::::Once upon a time, there was a maintenance report found under Special:SpecialPages. Nowadays it must have better automation? Surely nobody is placing a template by hand anymore?

:Just replace with template. I don't see a need to delete the category, but this isn't helpful as a manully-added category. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:19, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

:*The infobox categories are based upon parameters on the module/template(s) itself. This is different, as it requires editor judgment about style. {{U|Bearcat}} suggests a new template, something like {{tl|uncategorized}} with a date parameter. My suggestion is the new template doesn't even need to be as complicated, because we can use Special What Links here on the template instead of populating a category. But everybody (so far) agrees we need a template, and probably somebody to place it on the pages already in this category. Don't waste more time with a relisting. Once this is agreed upon, just list the others for consensus in the next pass.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 16:51, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

::*It's not standard to use "what links here" on the template as an alternative to a maintenance category. The standard practice is that maintenance templates populate maintenance categories; they're typically hidden so that they're not getting in the way of casual reader browsing, but making this hidden without an associated template was exactly the problem here. Bearcat (talk) 15:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

:Yes, the idea is to transfer this from a direct category declaration to a maintenance template of some sort. The infobox wouldn't likely be able to detect the problem, however — it can detect parameters in the infobox template itself that are doing incorrect things, but I don't really see how we could make the template sentient enough to detect a mismatch between the title of the article being "series" while the content of the article was describing a newscast given that the content of the infobox isn't the issue. So this would indeed need to be a banner, because I don't see how we can make the infobox detect a problem in the article that doesn't pertain to the infobox itself.

:As for the other categories, I didn't see them as they weren't involved at the article where I came across this one — but at this point, I don't see "add them to this discussion and then relist yet again" as a useful solution. Either they can just be automatically treated the same way as whatever happens here, or they can be listed for their own separate discussion based on the outcome, but there's not much point in prolonging this for yet another relist. Bearcat (talk) 15:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

::I have started Template:Television incorrect naming style to place articles into this category or four of its siblings. Does that seem a good start for now? Happy to have it renamed before closure of this CFD, or revised as you see fit. – Fayenatic London 21:36, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

  • No objection to renaming, but with only three subcats I would rather suggest merging to :Category:Protestants from dependent territories and :Category:American Protestants. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Support renaming. When I created this category I found inconsistency between People by insular area and People from insular areas (Educators, Farmers...) and even People of insular areas (Sportspeople and subcategories). I disagree with upmerging however. After all, there are only 5 inhabited insular territories of the U.S., and that's not a reason to completely delete this hierarchy. Also, some pernickety editors keep moving such categories about insular areas out of geographically diffused categories because they are not states, so having this intermediate level also avoids placing the content in non-diffused parent US categories. There was some talk here to rename such categories still named by state to by state or territory (per :Category:Categories by state or territory of the United States) but this was done for too few categories unfortunately.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|India–Pakistan cricket rivalry at Finals}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERCAT, we don't need a specific category for Finals of tournaments where India and Pakistan played each other. Of the 4 articles in the category, 1986 Austral-Asia Cup Final makes no mention of the rivalry, and 2011 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final isn't a final (it's a semi-final), leaving 2 articles with some mention of the rivalry, both of which can be upmerged to the general rivalry category.

:* Propose merging :Category:Austro-Hungarian people to :Category:People of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

:Nominator's rationale: I created the target without realising that this category existed. For former countries, particularly multi-ethnic empires, I think that the "People of Foo" form work works best. The demonym attaches a degree of unity to people that is more imagined than real.
