Category:Disambiguation pages with short descriptions[edit]

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. – Fayenatic London 22:00, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Pinging participants of previous discussion: @1234qwer1234qwer4, @SomeBodyAnyBody05, @RevelationDirect, @DexDor, @Xezbeth, @JHunterJ. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:45, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note that this was moved from the name with "Disambiguation page" in singular; I don't see the other siblings in Category:Pages with short description use a singular there. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:47, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was referring to it using "short descriptions". I've clarified now. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:49, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@BD2412, it looks like it's {{X disambiguation}} templates that omit the short description. I support deletion. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:40, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Wrong name (should be Eurostar Italia, if at all); and only one page is linked to this category. User:Haraldmmueller 08:59, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The categories can be deleted after all because the articles are thoroughly categorized by intersection of type of accident and country. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:12, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle, so I should tag all the siblings? — Qwerfjkltalk 14:32, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Qwerfjkl: for now, it is better to limit the nomination to categories with one or two articles. Abandoning the entire scheme would require a separate discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: reverse merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:17, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Look like duplicates. And why is "settlements" within "cities and towns"? All cities and towns are settlements, but not all settlements are cities or towns. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 19:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reverse merge (or else merge). Settlements apart from cities and towns presumably are villages, but there is little need to distinguish port villages from port towns and cities. "Settlements" covers it all. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwerfjkl A reverse merge would be fine. I didn't comment on it because I haven't been involved in the categories here long enough to know the common practices. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 23:48, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
  • Support as nominator. Oculi (talk) 20:38, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • Support, but I see that all or most are categorized as eg "19th-century English architects", and Category: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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
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)[reply]

  • 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.
