:* Propose renaming :Category:Australian racecallers to :Category:Australian horse racing announcers.

{{collapse top|Speedy Cfd discussion}}

• :Category:Australian racecallers to :Category:Australian horse racing announcers – C2C: to match sister categories :Category:American horse racing announcers and :Category:Canadian horse racing announcers Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:56, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• Omnis Scientia, I believe this should be :Category:Australian horse racing commentators per :Category:Australian sports commentators. TSventon (talk) 15:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• :@TSventon, the term used differs from sports. "Sports commentators" is the umbrella term but, depending on the sport, it can be "announcers", "commentators", or "broadcasters". Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:28, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• ::{{ping|Omnis Scientia}} I believe that this is also a WP:ENGVAR question, so racecaller may be the usual Australian English term. Several articles in the category use commentator and only one announcer. TSventon (talk) 16:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• :::@TSventon, as far as I can tell (and I did check before I chose speedy Cfd), a race caller is someone who calls a race so its a term not specific to horse racing or to Australia (see race caller). As for the name change, I'm making it consistant with its sister categories' names. It would be odd to have this different from the others (as for the British one - :Category:British horse racing writers and broadcasters - I'm waiting for a full Cfd to close before I do something about it). Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• ::::{{ping|Omnis Scientia}} Oppose speedy Wikipedia policy on national varieties of English means that national categories can be named inconsistently. We have :Category:American sports announcers‎ and :Category:Australian sports commentators, which suggests that US English prefers announcers and Australian English commentators. And the UK has :Category:British sports broadcasters without a commentators subcategory. TSventon (talk) 22:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• :::::@TSventon, this isn't anything to do with national varieties and, as noted before, the term differs by sports, not nationality (Baseball uses broadcasters, soccer uses commentators, etc). I'll just take it full Cfd. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• ::::::{{ping|Omnis Scientia}} you are arguing the term differs by sports, I am arguing it differs by national variety of English. A full Cfd makes sense, hopefully an Australian or two will comment. TSventon (talk) 23:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

{{collapse bottom}}

:Nominator's rationale: Opposed at speedy. Rename per WP:C2C. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

::Note: As for as I can tell, there is no English variety here. "Race caller" is used for more than just horse racing and is not limited to Australia. Also, the use of the terms "commentators", "broadcasters", and "announcers" for sports categories depends on the sport. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

::Comment: to me the use of "announcers" in :Category:American sports announcers‎ and "commentators" in :Category:Australian sports commentators looks like a WP:ENVAR difference, but I would welcome input from Australian English speakers. TSventon (talk) 00:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

:::@TSventon, that is a seperate matter entirely. I'm not asking to change the name of the container categories but to make it consistant with its sister categories. For example, :Category:British sports broadcasters has a category for :Category:British association football commentators; :Category:American sports announcers has :Category:American soccer commentators. Despite nationality cats using different terms, the names are consistant with :Category:Association football commentators (minus the obvious difference between "soccer" and "association football").

:::Hence, this one should go by consistancy with sports categories, and this one should be :Category:Australian horse racing announcers to match :Category:American horse racing announcers and :Category:Canadian horse racing announcers. The British one needs splitting between writers and announcers and, for that, I'm waiting for another Cfd to close. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:58, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

::::@Omnis Scientia, sports announcers seems to be North American English, so under WP:ENVAR it should not be used in British and Australian categories. The subcategories of :Category:Sports commentators by sport appear to reflect ENVAR: American dominated sports such as baseball use "announcers" and others use "commentators" or "broadcasters". I am hoping for a third opinion, hopefully with knowledge of Australian English. TSventon (talk) 22:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

:::::@Marcocapelle, what do you think about this? I don't think this is a WP:ENVAR issue. I'm merely going by what the more common form is in the parent category and by the fact that each "commentator by sports" category uses a different term (see :Category:Sports commentators by sport). Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::* I would expect "commentators" per siblings in :Category:Australian sports commentators. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:35, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::*:@Marcocapelle, and the other sibling categories in :Category:Horse racing writers and broadcasters? Granted the category is a mess but if it should be "commentators" then it should be for all, not just Australia. For all other sports commentator categories, it is consistancy with sport, not consistancy with nationality categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 07:58, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::*:* {{ping|Omnis Scientia}} they may all become commentators, unless there is an ENGVAR issue (announcers preferred in North America?). Marcocapelle (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::*:*:@Marcocapelle, I don't see any preference. In fact, I would say "announcers" is the least commonly used of the terms. American sportscasters are more often called "broadcasters" and "commentators" than "announcers". Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::*:*::Personally, as someone who watches quite a lot sports, "announcers" is definitely the least the common term; "broadcasters" and "commentators" are used even by the people in the profession. And in North America, the preference is definitely "broadcasters". Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:27, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::*:*:::But the question here is whether the consistancy should be with the "nationality" category or with the "sport" category. As far as I can see, most nationality categories aren't consistant but sports categories are all the same. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:40, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::*:*:::* That is an odd phenomenon. You'd normally expect it the other way around. If commentators is ok in North America too then it can probably be standardized at commentators across sports and countries together. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

:::::::*:*:::*The article is at Sports commentator, so normally categories would follow that, with exceptions for national varieties of English. Broadcaster is a disambiguation page so categories like :Category:Sports broadcasters (currently under discussion) are ambiguous. TSventon (talk) 18:26, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

• Please ignore everything I said above. Only now I start to realize that this is about live commentators as "personnel of the race", which may be regarded as something completely different than television commentators who are media personnel. I am not saying now that "commentators" is necessarily wrong here, but at least there is a fair possibility that terminology in this case may deviate from other sports.

:* Propose splitting :Category:Personifications in mythology and religion to :Category:Mythological personifications and :Category:Religious personifications

:Nominator's rationale: I don't necessarily disagree that this category could use subcategorizing. However, bundling mythology with religion is perhaps insulting to some. They don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, though some entities can be both. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

::Keep/oppose. I don't know how much of a real distinction can be made between mythology and religion, Greek mythology = ancient Greek pagan religion for example. And the subcategories here are all basically listing deities that are also personifications of something. AHI-3000 (talk) 02:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

:::See Personification in the Bible and Statue of Hope. This would technically belong there, but mythology is generally seen as an insult when used to describe modern religions, as it can mean "fictitious". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

:::: We already have articles on Jewish mythology, Christian mythology, Islamic mythology, Hindu mythology, and Buddhist mythology. "Modern" religions have their own myths, just like any other. Dimadick (talk) 08:07, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

• I am looking at some articles in the Greek and Roman subfolders. There are many about a "god(dess) and personification of topic" which makes me wonder about the usefulness of the categories. Deities were too often deities of something. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
• :I think you might have a point, deities in just about every animistic or polytheistic religion are oftentimes personifications of specific concepts, see :Category:Deities by association. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: triple merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:53, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:14th-century Yemenite rabbis to :Category:14th-century Yemeni people and :Category:14th-century rabbis

:* Propose merging :Category:12th-century Yemenite rabbis to :Category:12th-century Yemeni people and :Category:12th-century rabbis

:Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only three people across these two categories, which isn't helpful for navigation Mason (talk) 01:22, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

• Triple merge, also to :Category:Yemenite rabbis. The siblings in :Category:Yemenite rabbis may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Wikipedia vandals}}

:Nominator's rationale: Really? {{pb}} More seriously, this is a redundant category with only three redirects and Gregory Kohs was not a vandal to begin with, so would only properly have two. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

• Delete, while I expected it might be useful as a maintenance category, the category does not contain any user pages. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
• :{{Reply to|Marcocapelle}} A category with this name was previously used as a maintenance category, but it was deleted after a discussion in 2006. Do you think this category could be useful if repurposed as a maintenance category? CJ-Moki (talk) 07:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
• :* I do not know. Better ask editors who are specialized in chasing vandals. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:15, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
• :*:{{Reply to|Marcocapelle}} I have created a thread about this topic at Wikipedia talk:Counter-Vandalism Unit. CJ-Moki (talk) 08:25, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
• Delete, as either a category for articles, or a category for user pages. As for articles, we don't really have articles on vandals, and more nuanced detail can be found under the Wikipedia controversy categories. I can imagine several problems arising from saying some identifiable entity is a vandal in perpetuity. For a maintenance category, I think the previous CfD had it right. I would point out that we have :Category:Blocked Wikipedia users. I'm not a huge fan, but it seems to have a couple of specific uses. As a wider point, using the WP:DENY philosophy, it's not really a good idea to label people as vandals because people will seek to add themselves. But above all, a maintenance category such as this serves no useful purpose. Vandals are everywhere, I've blocked several already today, and we don't need to have a list of them. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 12:22, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
• Comment {{u|Waggers}} has suggested this could be kept as a hidden category. CJ-Moki (talk) 17:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
• Delete. WP:DENY is a problem, even if it is a hidden category. It also strikes me as useless: what are people supposed to do with the knowledge User xyz is a vandal? They should already be blocked, and undoing their damage is trivial via WP:MASSROLLBACK: there is no "cleanup" that would be needed. This also just feel yucky: do we really need a badge of shame?
