: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: delete. Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_January_20#Category:Polymaths is persuasive precedent, and emphasized anew here, that "polymath" is ill-defined, subjective, or WP:SYNTH in most cases, and not a defining-characteristic intersection-category for all individuals that are in two or more subject-area categories (polymath). Several ideas for list-articles are potentially viable. In most cases, the inividuals are already in other "... people" subcats, so generally just remove from the "... polymaths" cat rather than merging. DMacks (talk) 03:21, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Polymaths by nationality}}

:Nominator's rationale: Non-defining Mason (talk) 04:18, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Support in principle, per precedent (there is no :Category:Polymaths). But just delete, do not merge, the articles are already in other categories by nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

:: Further comment: :Category:Polymaths was deleted after this discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:53, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep. Firstly, what's the difference compared to other, very similar categories (e.g. philanthropists, dissidents) which already exist? Should we delete them? Secondly, this category has been deleted several times a long time ago because "it was undefined, which allows almost anyone to be included in it if they have demonstrated any sort of ability in more than one discipline or area of life" or so. But if you read the article Polymath, it is clearly defined: an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems and polymaths include the great scholars and thinkers of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, who excelled at several fields in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and the arts. Furthermore, and last but not least (on the contrary), if a person is mentioned as a polymath in reliable sources, then this fact should be respected, and that's what the Wikipedia rules say, don't they? --Silverije 20:18, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
  • :Thank you for posting this here. The issue of defining is key. If they excelled in multiple fields, the person belongs in each of those categories, not a grab back category that effectively says that they belong in multiple categories. And what counts as different fields? Does that mean that biostatisicians are all polymaths because they excel in biology AND statistics? Mason (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

:::Probably not. But if they excelled in SEVERAL, MULTIPLE fields, they belong to each of those categories, but also to the Category:Polyhistor as well. I see no reason why this person should not also belong to that category; there are other categories that similarly overlap (e.g. urban planners, architects, civil engineers, architecture writers…). BUT I REPEAT, only if, and it is decisive here, such a person is listed in the relevant sources (encyclopedias, lexicons, etc.) as polymath, so it should also be in Wikipedia, as stated in its rules. And you did not answer the question of similar categories (philanthropists, dissidents) in which a person can also belong to multiple categories? --Silverije 23:47, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

::::You're correct that I didn't answer your question about similar categories because those are not relevant here. The issue is that this category has been deleted by consensus several times on the basis of not being well defined. What has changed in the last ten years to make this category well defined?

::Support nom per Marcocapelle. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Defining a polymath as someone whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects is too subjective for a category: what is a substantial number and how much knowledge is required from each? Defining a polymath by being called a polymath in sources is equally vague. If anything, a list may be more appropriate because that will allow quoting sources. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

::Why should defining a polymath by being called a polymath in sources be vague? If someone is a polymath in sources, then so be it. Or should we go against Wikipedia's rule WP:NOR and do our own research? --Silverije 23:23, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

::* How many sources would you need? What if sources contradict each other? Again, that is much better elaborated in a list. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

::::Please, be serious. I need no sources; Wikipedia needs. How many? As usual in any other article. Contradictions? As usual; why should it be something special here? --Silverije 19:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Just Delete/Support in Principle If someone is defined by multiple things, enter them in multiple categories but the intersection is not notable. No objection to a list, but that can be outside of CFD. - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Thanks, Place Clichy. Simeon of Mantua is in {{c|Armenian saints}} which are understood as Christian saints, so perhaps there is no need for a Catholic category. If he's the only notable Benedictine of Armenian origin, the single-member category is not very useful for categorisation. But if there's no consensus here, perhaps it would be better to have a fresh nomination of all the single-member subcats of {{c|Benedictines by nationality}}. – Fayenatic London 11:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
  • : The Mekhitarists follow the rule of Saint Benedict, so we may consider adding {{Cl|Mekhitarists}} to {{Cl|Armenian Benedictines}}, in the same fashion that {{Cl|Cistercians by nationality}} is in {{Cl|Benedictines by nationality}}. {{Cl|Benedictines by nationality}}, and more largely {{Cl|Members of Catholic orders and societies by nationality}}, is a set that's useful for navigation and there are plenty of one-page categories there. It's a situation not unlike that of {{Cl|Argentine popes}}/{{Cl|Polish popes}}, although with more potential for expansion. Place Clichy (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep. There are a few more articles now in the category that are primarily "history of climbing" (especially rock climbing) related. The structure also mirrors the structure in WikiCommons where there are separate "History of Climbing" and "History of Mountaineering" categories (both linked to in the en-WP categories). Other historical climbing articles will be added (e.g. history of ice climbing), so worth keeping at this stage. Would not recommend lumping it into the head "Climbing" category, which we should keep as clear as possible. Aszx5000 (talk) 11:20, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale:

The mix of country and language makes the navigation and searching unnecessary complicated. Not all American films are in English. This seems to have been mostly been done for the Indian films as they are split by language (which isn't a valid reason for this imo). As a side note, I'm not sure how many of these currently have language articles so some might be empty after the split. --Gonnym (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Deities and spirits to :Category:Mythological creatures

:* Propose merging :Category:Fictional deities and spirits to :Category:Fictional characters by species

:Nominator's rationale: There's already a "Deities" category, and there's no specific article about the concept of spirits as used here. This is therefore a WP:SUBJECTIVECAT that should be merged into either "Mythological creatures" or "Legendary creatures". The only alternative name I can think of is "Supernatural beings", but there's no article about that either, and that can also be potentially subjective. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 14:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::Keep both categories, but alternately rename them to :Category:Spirits and :Category:Fictional spirits. AHI-3000 (talk) 19:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Oppose, not all articles are about mythology. The alt rename is fine to remove redundancy in the category names. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • :{{ping|Marcocapelle}} The point is that they would go into mythological and legendary creatures as appropriate, as I said in the description. I just picked mythological as the target because as far as I know the tool I use doesn't let you pick multiple merge destinations. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 21:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • :* For example Astral spirit or Holy Spirit in Christianity would fit in neither target and these articles are still about spirits. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • :*:{{ping|Marcocapelle}} Holy Spirit in Christianity is already in a subcategory of :Category:Deities which would seem to contradict that argument, since Deities is a subcategory of this category. Astral spirit probably counts more as a "concept" than a being. It can be moved to :Category:Theosophical philosophical concepts and was likely miscategorized here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 21:48, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • :*:* There are more articles like these. Besides it makes sense to keep the subcategories together. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:16, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
  • The Holy Spirit is typically depicted as one of the persons in the Trinity. An aspect of the Christian god, rather than a distinct entity. Dimadick (talk) 09:04, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Totally overlapping categories. One of these should not exist, but I don't mind if it's reverse-merged either based on what title people think is better. The "Space navies" category has existed for much longer but has no real-world analogue. Another possibility is that the merge goes through as proposed, but then "Space navies" is renamed "Fictional space units and formations" as probably should have been done. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 13:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting :Category:Berber people by religion

:Nominator's rationale: delete double WP:EGRS violation. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::Question What is being violated here? How is this any different from anything else in :Category:Christians by ethnicity? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 08:24, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::* Berber Christians or Berber Muslims aren't a stand alone notable topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::Oppose, I don't see any issues with this or any other subcategories of :Category:People by ethnicity and religion. AHI-3000 (talk) 19:24, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::* I am not excluding the possibility that more subcategories should be nominated, but it should be done case by case. E.g. Berber Jews is a notable topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::*:Oppose deletion for Berber people by religion,Berber Muslims, and Berber Christians. Berbers and Islam has an entire page dedicated to it.

::*:However, I'd support merging of Berber former Christians to berbers and former christians on the basis of the category being extremely small. If determined non-notable, all the categories should be merged into the respective religion category and ethnicity categories. Mason (talk) 21:29, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|15th-century American people}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|15th-century Native American women}}

:Nominator's rationale: No one is defined as being American until the 16th century. Moreover the only page in this entire tree isn't even a person Mason (talk) 03:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

::Delete: Whole tree exists just to house one article in three different places.

:Christa McAuliffe was the teacher astronaut who was killed in the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster.
