:* Propose deleting {{lc|1913 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season}}

:Nominator's rationale: There's only a page and the template in here. I've added the main page to the 1913 football season category. Mason (talk) 23:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• This should be nominated together with its siblings. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
• Keep; part of a well-established, highly-structured categorization scheme. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
• :Delete per nom. Others in similar situation should also be nominated. Let'srun (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC).
• This is one of thousands like it; I do not understand why we want to stray from order to disorder, rather than stay orderly and organized. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Breton historians to :Category:Historians of Brittany

:Nominator's rationale: Per C2C: Norm is to use Historians of SUBJECT, I'm not sure if this can be speedied because the main page is called List of Breton historians. But as named it could be historians who are ethnically Bretons Mason (talk) 21:30, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Rename per nom. This is clearly less ambiguous. The list may be renamed too. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
• Rename per nom. Breton categories are often filled with people based on their link with the region rather than reliable information on their ethnicity anyway. Place Clichy (talk) 17:24, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: I propose broadening these categories to include musicians of any nationality. Mason (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Support in principle. I am surprised these categories do not exist yet. The articles should be manually added more specifically to musicians by dynasty categories instead of generally to :Category:Ancient Chinese musicians. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Oppose Categories like these are not only intended for royalty. Dimadick (talk) 14:09, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

• Delete, articles are already in :Category:Murdoch family and perfectly fine there. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
• Comment Is this an inherently limited category? It's not like Murdoch will be having 4 or 5 more wives so there is little potential for growth. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge. A larger discussion should be held for renaming "women" categories to "female". (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:23, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Female soldiers to :Category:Women soldiers

:Nominator's rationale: A complete WP:OVERLAPCAT. It used to be a redirect, but since User:AHI-3000 thinks it should be its own category, we should probably come to a consensus about whether it should exist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:47, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom and purge :Category:Female child soldiers. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

:Reverse merge. "Female soldiers" sounds grammatically better than "women soldiers", because "female" is an adjective and "women" is actually a plural noun. I also think this should be done for other occupational categories that are erroneously named with "Women" at the beginning of their page titles. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:23, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

:Reverse merge per AHI-3000, and do not purge :Category:Female child soldiers (as it fits under the umbrella "female"). If it is regularly-merged, then do purge. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 23:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

::Reverse merge per discussion above. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Note As :Category:Female soldiers is the newer category, in order to preserve history, the merge should still be executed as I proposed, but then the category renamed to "Female soldiers". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:34, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• :Procedurally oppose. I think we should not be having a ton of these renaming women to female simultaneously. Mason (talk) 20:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• ::Even if you oppose changing the name, surely you support both categories not existing at the same time, right? I don't understand why you would oppose even that. I have no preference on what name it ends up as, I just deferred to the one that has been stable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Articles about multiple people to :Category:Groups of people

:Nominator's rationale: The current title isn't really defining, as it refers to the article rather than the article subject. The rename would remedy that by making it clear it's talking about the subjects of each article. A move to this name failed in 2011, but for an odd reason - they claimed that 2 people were not a "group". Merriam-Webster defines group as "two or more", so this is flat-out wrong. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:28, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Rename per nom. Without context it is a somewhat odd title, but it is a container category so it won't lead to confusion for editors of articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

WP:WikiProject Nazi Germany redirects to Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany but Template:WikiProject Germany does not have a task force for it. Also while Wikipedia:Nazi affiliation task force exists, there isn't a main category for that task force. Gonnym (talk) 13:32, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Stand-up comedy concert films to :Category:Stand-up comedy specials and films

:Nominator's rationale: There are no separate Categories for non-concert films of stand-up comedy, so the disambiguation is unneeded. The Category was created in the early year of 2006. Recorded, edited and released long-form stand-up comedy acts are ubiquitously referred to as "specials". Separately, Wikipedia defines a concert as being a live musical performance in front of an audience. DA1 (talk) 09:24, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: "Women" is a noun, "female" is an adjective. There are probably many categories I missed, but this is a good start. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:44, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: The above listing is far from complete. There are hundreds more, for example those under :Category:Women writers by nationality, :Category:Women artists by nationality, :Category:Women photographers by nationality, etc.--Ipigott (talk) 12:23, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

::Oppose. I've started to think about this some more as the nom has been coming up. (I personally prefer being called a women, than being described as female).

::: 1) These renames are going to wreck havoc on a ton of pre-existing templates, which just makes more work. Going from FOO female/woman to female/women FOO occupation splits the occupation category.

::: 2) I do not want to see this trickle down into categories called Fooian females, because there are numerous undertones. I would like the previsions discussions related to these renames to be linked here.

::: 3) I would really like some feedback from more women focused wikipedia groups.

::: 4) I think women makes it clearer that being a women in the occupation is a defining feature, rather than someone who is female. Mason (talk) 03:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose as "women" refers to gender, while "female" refers to sex. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 03:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

:* That is also a good point. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:21, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Support selected moves. Women does go in front of nouns. A recent phenomenon is to put "female" in front instead of women, which has only been happening in the past few decades. The thing about this change is that some fields still have "women" as more common.

:Here is a listing on Google Ngrams to consider the most common:

:* "Female editors" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=women+editors%2Cfemale+editors&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common].

:* "Women scientists" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=women+scientists%2Cfemale+scientists&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common]

:* "Women writers" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=women+writers%2C+female+writers&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common]

:* "Women lawyers" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=women+lawyers%2C+female+lawyers&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common]

:* "Women academics" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=women+academics%2Cfemale+academics&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common]

:* "Female politicians" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=women+politicians%2Cfemale+politicians&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common]

:* "Women artists" is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=female+artists%2Cwomen+artists&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 more common]

:An issue is that "women" applies only to adults whereas "female" is inclusive to children (girls). We had this issue on the List of female monarchs, which previously used "women monarchs" and was moved to "female".

:To reply to {{U|The ed17}}'s mention that "female" refers to sex and "women" gender, that point does not follow consensus on Women, where "female" refers to both gender and sex. —Panamitsu (talk) 03:46, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose: As an 80-year-old Brit, my initial inclination was to use "female" as a qualifier, in both articles and categories on Wikipedia, but as a result of discussions with experts in the field such as {{u|SusunW}} I now frequently use "women" as a pseudo-adjective. For most sports though, "female" is widely used internationally and is generally more appropriate for Wikipedia categories, see :Category:Sportswomen by sport. I would not support these being changed to "women", e.g. women baseball players. The many existing categories including "women" and "female" function well and are widely used. I strongly suggest they should be maintained.--Ipigott (talk) 07:09, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose: as noun modifiers are so commonplace in informal writing, formal writing, and our category tree that the rationale is wrong. If there are other reasons to prefer "female", I'd love to her them. The Ngram analysis is nice, but we shouldn't choose one form over the other if the Ngrams show that they're close and there are other reasons (e.g. consistency) to stick with the slightly less common version. I would feel differently if one form were vastly more common than the other. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:11, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• Strongly Oppose: If you look at the history of women vs. female as a modifier, it dates to the 14th century. According to the Oxford English Dictionary woman first appeared as an adjective in 1382.[https://web.archive.org/web/20151111110845/http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/more/2024/] According to Webster's Dictionary,[https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/lady-woman-female-usage] Henry Fowler, who wrote the 1926 Dictionary of Modern English Usage, was the first scholar to insist that woman was a noun and female was an adjective. (Interestingly he argued that female suffrage was the correct term, and that women who opposed that phraseology were whiny, but the largest global organization pressing for suffrage was the International Woman Suffrage Alliance.) Journalists have varying opinions on whether woman can be a noun modifier.[https://www.newyorker.com/culture/comma-queen/female-trouble-the-debate-over-woman-as-an-adjective],[https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/18/opinion/18iht-edsafire.4943390.html],[https://www.buzzfeed.com/tracyclayton/stop-calling-women-females#.hioL5MYlm],[https://www.dailywritingtips.com/female-or-woman/],[https://newrepublic.com/article/119954/woman-female-or-lady-which-term-appropriate] Scholars have also debated the question[https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1294891.pdf], [https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/197741614.pdf] and dictionaries disagree as well. According to "Grammar Girl" Mignon Fogarty Webster's (their article on usage indicates it's not cut and dry) and American Heritage indicate woman is a noun, Dictionary.com says woman can be used as a noun or adjective, and the Oxford English Dictionary states that woman can be used as an appositive noun.[https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/articles/woman-versus-female-2/] Guardian reporter Maddie York, whose personal preference is for woman to be restricted to use as a noun, states that the Chamber's Dictionary considers the usage of female and woman to be interchangeable and the Collin's Dictionary lists woman as a modifier.[https://www.theguardian.com/media/mind-your-language/2014/oct/17/women-doctors-women-mps-women-bishops-mind-your-language] Given this history there is no logical reason the categories should be renamed to choose one word over another. SusunW (talk) 15:14, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose per most/all of the various different arguments above, and the sheer hassle of catching all of them, which I don't think the nom does. Johnbod (talk) 15:32, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• :Oppose per above discussion. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose per the oppose votes above. Trying to avoid repeating the arguments. -- Rohini (talk) 16:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose Per the various arguments given, things are not nearly as cut and dry as the nomination claims. It's amazing that somehow it was assumed that whoever made all these categories was unable to distinguish a noun from an adjective. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:54, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• Strongly oppose. Making such a change would be a prime example of trying to make language fit a rigid idea of consistency and correctness, rather than reflecting how language is actually used and understood by editors and readers. And in many cases, changing "women" to "female" would be borderline offensive, as it would abruptly draw attention to biological sex in contexts where it is not relevant. Note the difference between "She was the first woman astronaut to orbit the moon" and "Accommodating the bodies of the first female astronauts presented space suit designers with a new set of issues." Each of these sentences, I would argue, uses the best word in the context. Would support going with common usage, which is rarely consistent and often "incorrect". — scribblingwoman 19:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
• Strong oppose. As the founder of WP:WPWW in 2014, I can tell you that we had this conversation back then when deciding about creating new categories to support our WikiProject's work. Academics who focus on women's literature were part of the discussion (including off-wiki). In addition, my point of view is supported by the oppose arguments presented here by others. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:09, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
• Remove the women/female subcategories, {{em|or}} Add a "man" (for consistency with "woman") subcategory as well. {{em|Or}} have both "male"/"female" subcats. Either way we should be both equal-opportunity (subcats for both sexes/genders) and consistent (man/woman or male/female). Mitch Ames (talk) 08:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
• : {{tqq|Remove the women/female subcategories}} {{mdash}} and the men/male subcategories (as {{U|Ipigott}} mentioned [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mitch_Ames&diff=prev&oldid=1206558049 on my talk page]), where they exist and are irrelevant to being a foo.

• ::"considerable effort has been on going for sometime to address the Bias..." WP:BIAS female catches the nuiances between women and transgender. Gnangarra 04:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

::::The article you refer to appears to me to call for increased efforts in support of women. I see no call for standardizing terminology.--Ipigott (talk) 15:10, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

• Support specifically {{lc|Category:Women astronauts}} to :Category:Female astronauts

:Perhaps it's a special case but (a) 'female astronauts' is in common use, and (b) social gender isn't as relevant as biological sex. (Both male and female astronauts are biology research test subjects, among other roles.) (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk)

• Oppose because the rationale is faulty. Noun adjuncts are a very standard part of English. We can debate whether using "female" or "women" properly reflects the focus of these categories, but we cannot do so starting from the false premise that there is any grammatical reason to prefer one or the other construction. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:38, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose because the nom's rationale is incorrect as pointed out by the various other oppose !votes. TipsyElephant (talk) 06:16, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
