Category:Cultural depictions of Ancient Israeli and Judean people[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. Timrollpickering 17:15, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: "ancient" does not need a capital letter in the middle of a phrase (see cases "in ancient Greece" at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 July 16). I believe Israelite is appropriate rather than the modern-era term Israeli. – Fayenatic London 08:09, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. ℯxplicit 00:38, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:CATDEF as none of the recipients are notable for having received this decoration. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - Distinguished Flying Cross (United States) seems to be the sort of military distinction that merits categorisation. Oculi (talk) 10:09, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete According to my clicking through the infoboxes, Legion of Merit is above this award, and Defense Superior Service Medal is above that, and Silver Star, is above that and from there it branches by service but for the Air Force Air Force Distinguished Service Medal is above that, and various ones are above that including Defense Distinguished Service Medal, and again following the Air Force route Air Force Cross (United States) is above that and finally we get to the Medal of Honor which is the top award and certainly defining. (Getting the 7th highest award is probably not defining.) RevelationDirect (talk) 23:56, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep reaches the level at which an award is defining. For example, see the equivalent award in the UK, Category:Recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross (United Kingdom). Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:23, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete: This award is not the equivalent of the UK DFC. For fighter pilots at least, the UK DFC is fairly similar to the Silver Star, and the DSO is comparable to the US DSC. In WWII, although it depended on the theatre, the US DFC was often awarded just for flying missions and/or completing one's combat tour. "A combat veteran of the [8th Air Force] could come home with an Air Medal with three clusters plus a Distinguished Flying Cross after 25 missions." (pursuant to competent performance, but without doing anything noteworthy.) "The pilot [also bombardier, and sometimes navigator] of the lead aircraft would be ordinarily considered for an award of the DFC for his skill in handling the aircraft." Again, that's just on a routine but successful mission, nothing special.[1] @Peacemaker67 and Oculi: Were you aware of that? Catrìona (talk) 00:23, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- The UK DFC was also awarded for reaching mission tallies, especially in Bomber Command. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:10, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
