Support. Terrorist is a subjective term. Rathfelder (talk) 08:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment for clarity are these groups of ethnic Armenians or of Armenian nationals (as opposed to nationals of Turkey, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, the Soviet Union, or other countries)? If the former, it should be so titled in keeping with the distinction between Category:Armenian people and Category:Ethnic Armenian people; if the latter it should be purged by all groups based outside Armenia. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:33, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This distinction is absurd. Since when is the word Armenian used only in relation to the Armenian state, which has existed only since 1991? Everywhere outside Wikipedia, Armenians are called Armenians, not Ethnic Armenians. It's the Armenian Genocide, not the Ethnic Armenian Genocide, and the Armenian Church has never been called the Ethnic Armenian Church despite centuries of existence outside any Armenian state. I know there is a whole hierarchy of alledged Ethnic Armenian people in our category structure, I am pulling my hair since the day it was carved out of the perfectly fine Armenian people or People of Armenian descent. It's like saying that Dante Alighieri was not Italian but Ethnic Italian, or that Goethe was not German but Ethnic German, because no state called Italy or Germany existed in their time.
In the present case, terrorism linked to the Armenian cause has existed, and the fact that members of such groups were citizens of Soviet Armenia or independent Armenia is not relevent. There were probably both, and it would not be a reason to split these categories along citizenship lines. Place Clichy (talk) 10:33, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to match article. Even if Hong Kong is not part of the official title, this needs disambiguating by polity. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:01, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Peterkingiron: Resistance with capital R or with lowercase r? That was what the discussion was about. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:51, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These aren't factions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). They're the different wings of the party (except for maybe the Civil Protection Units (YPS) as the nature of their relationship with the PKK is unclear). Charles Essie (talk) 18:54, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:split, these are two topics unnecessarily mixed up in one category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:26, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning oppose I can see several are "soil-only", but many seem to be mixed, like the American Society of Agronomy, which mentions both areas. It's not a huge category, & I'm not sure a split is needed with the present population, or a clean one possible. I think the problem is more fundamental - for example, not one of the many in Category:Agricultural organisations based in England is in this category, whereas many would seem to qualify. We probably already have too many underpopulated categories, and not enough categorization - this nom will not help either. As so often, fiddling at CfD is not what is needed. Johnbod (talk) 15:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is obviously a bit of overlap but the focus in Soil science is much more on the properties of soil rather than just regarding soil as a means for agriculture. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Most colleges that offer majors in agronomy are now offering them in crop, plant, or environmental sciences. If you look at how crops (and plants for that matter) are grown, they require soil to make it happen. The Soil and crop science organizations category has about 20 listings when I checked prior to making this selection. This is for any global organization that deals with soil and crop science. Chris (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why "Most colleges that offer majors in agronomy are now offering them in crop, plant, or environmental sciences." is a reason to oppose. It seems like that statement is similar to the fact that here in WP Crop science is a redirect to Agricultural science - but then Soil science is still something separate. The fact that crops require soil to grow is a poor reason to oppose, as they also require water and sun so grow and we do not want to have meteorology to be included here. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:05, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. These organisations are almost all concerned with agronomy. For example the Soil museum(!) displays, for each sample, "where it is found, its nutrient status, the crops it is best suited for, and recommendations for use and management of land where the soil is present."
