Pinging @Mangoe + @DexDor; you may want to recat some articles. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:24, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per this discussion, I'm proposing renaming the parallel articles to match the main article. Mangoe (talk) 21:37, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, but some of these articles (e.g. PPRU-1 and Ranzhir) are not about weapons and should be recategorized. DexDor (talk) 21:41, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rock lighthouses of Scotland[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: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 January 8#Category:Rock_lighthouses_of_Scotland. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Not clear what the criteria for inclusion might be. A couple of members are on isolated rocks; most are on islands of greater or lesser rockiness. I can see a category of open-water lights, but this isn't it and I don't see that the current membership has enough in common. The upmerge presumes that all of these are on islands; exceptions would upmerge to Category:Lighthouses in Scotland or some other appropriate subcat. Mangoe (talk) 18:03, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Define and keep I think what this needs is a definition. I think they are all on isolated rocks or other otherwise uninhabited islands, as opposed to those on the main islands of the Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland or the Scottish mainland. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as Rock lighthouse and Category:Rock lighthouses are (currently) redlinks. DexDor (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a little obscure but half of these lights are not on "islands" in the usual sense i.e. they are built on rocks that are or were in their original state submerged at higher stages of the tide. The original definition I used is easy to relate - they appear in Christopher Nicholson (1995) Rock Lighthouses of Britain: The End of an Era? along with Chicken Rock Lighthouse, Eddystone Lighthouse and half a dozen others. I had a quick look and I can't see a formal definition there - if there was one it would be something like "lighthouses on uninhabitable rocks or very remote small islands" (with Flannan being the only example of the latter). Scotland's coast is very long and convoluted for such a small country and I think the categorisation makes sense in this context. Furthermore, with the exception of Hyskeir they are all 'very notable' for various reasons, in particular the extarordinary engineering feats that created some of them (and in one case a remarkable mystery). Ben MacDui 16:38, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the above post (e.g. that the lighthouses are notable) is irrelevant to this discussion. When it comes to categorization it's not unreasonable to count rocks that are covered at high tide as islands (without the category name explicitly saying so). DexDor (talk) 08:01, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tbh I doubt you would say that if you had ever been involved in building one! At Dhu Heartach "fourteen men were trapped there for five days, and at one point seawater poured in through the trapdoor, swirled around them and exited with their remaining food supplies."Ben MacDui 12:07, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
World-wide there is a very small number of these open-water stone foundation lights (I believe for example that the only US case is at Minot's Ledge Light). If we could come up with good sourcing I could support a single category for all the examples, but I'm not seeing a Scottish subcat, and as I said a lot of the members now are conventional construction on smallish islands, and wouldn't properly be members. Mangoe (talk) 14:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is also Alligator Reef Light and perhaps other Pile lighthouses and Phare de Kéréon - site of the famous Guichard photo - and no doubt others (although likely only few per country). Perhaps Category:Rock lighthouses would be useful. Ben MacDui 10:42, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Were a merge to occur the merge in all but one case (Bell Rock Lighthouse) would be to the other sub-cats of Category:Lighthouses of Scottish islands. Ben MacDui

Category:Masseurs[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: no consensus. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All the subjects appear to be physiotherapists. There are other sorts of masseurs, but none of the articles seem to be about them. It appears that physiotherapist is a term introduced during the twentieth century. Rathfelder (talk) 17:34, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Catholic coat of arms[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: rename (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 03:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category is not merely about individual coats of arms, but Catholic heraldry in general. Also consistency with parent Category:Ecclesiastical heraldry. Brandmeistertalk 15:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. More general and thus suitable scope. Chicbyaccident (talk) 16:06, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Churches by British architects[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: rename to Church buildings by Fooian architects, without prejudice against a follow-up nomination to upmerge the English category, if desired. -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No place in the world, other than England, has such categories - as can be seen here, where both the individual architects and the national-level categories can be seen. If kept, they should be renamed to "Church buildings by...", per the recent rename of Category:Churches to Category:Church buildings at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 25#Category:Churches. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 15:06, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've started working on this but since the third entry is Ralph Adams Cram I'm a bit bogged down there. It's going to take a while. I've skipped people with less than three churches. Mangoe (talk) 14:47, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've worked backwards from Z and done all back to S. I'd have done more but I too got bogged down (by the Upjohns). Grutness...wha? 11:15, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians who like NationStates[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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 04:11, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Violates WP:USERCAT as a category that cannot possibly foster encyclopedic collaboration. "Wikipedians by video game" category which has an extensive history of deletion due to an overly narrow scope - there is only one possible article that such users could reasonably be expected to collaborate on (even if one assumes that those who "like" NationStates is willing to collaborate on the article, which is in and of itself questionable). VegaDark (talk) 07:58, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I disagree because when users identify themselves as being interested in a topic, this allows other editors to collaborate with them. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS)   21:16, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • When there is only one possible article that such users could reasonably be expected to collaborate on, a categ is pointless. Editors can collaborate on the article's talk page. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:43, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. DexDor (talk) 21:48, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom as a user category that is overly narrow in scope. Any potential for collaboration is limited to no more than 1–3 articles (NationStates, Jennifer Government and Max Barry). -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:05, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:United States Navy organization[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: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 January 8#Category:United_States_Navy_organization. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:36, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category, 'organization of the USN', is intended for administrative organizations [1] and is constantly getting mixed up with Category:Military units and formations of the United States Navy, which corresponds to the Fleet. This rename would align Wikipedia with real life. Buckshot06 (talk) 06:14, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- because much of the content is not necessarily shore based. However, this category is a mess, and should be split. It mixes up command posts, some political rather than military; shore based admin; specialised boards; etc. We already have a shore-based subcat. Actually organization fits well. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:52, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I am in the process of splitting this category. The 'Fleet' fits very well with the 'Military Units and Formations of the USN." THere are some things here (like the United States Ram Fleet) that I've just moved to MF&U categories. The whole rest of the navy is the 'Shore Establishment'. So there needs to be two main categories. Under the 'Shore establishment' will be, yes, shore commands, but that category I have just created, and is intended for formations that are at Command level. Under that level are regions, districts, offices, etc. Yes, also there also needs to be a Category:Department of the Navy (United States) which will take in the Assistant Secretaries etc, but 'Shore establishment' is a distinct body in the USN and needs to be represented.

Category:M-Rated DC Comics video games[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: merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:29, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Non-defining characteristic. M-ratings are rarely ever significant and typically do not get mentioned in video game articles at all. The1337gamer (talk) 00:14, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @LaundryPizza03: is there a reason why you prefer delete over merge (as nominated)? In other words, why would you want to remove the articles from the DC Comics tree? Marcocapelle (talk) 04:28, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Years in female bodybuilding[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: categories were not tagged, therefore  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 January 21#Years in female bodybuilding. -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:54, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Extended content
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, there isn't enough content to have years in female (professional) bodybuilding. The vast majority of these categories have zero or one page, with the maximum being four (2008). -- Tavix (talk) 00:22, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I had considered that. However, the article bodybuilding is specifically about male bodybuilding so I'm not sure if it would work. -- Tavix (talk) 05:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? Para 1 of the lede of bodybuilding ungendered. Para2 discusses both male and female. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:02, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was going off the hatnote, I hadn't actually read the article. I'll change the hatnote accordingly and endorse the merge. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 14:57, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
