The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:41, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary distinction - the articles in both categories are about both the error message and the circumstances that cause the error to trigger. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i.e there's no relevant difference I can see between Out of memory (in the "error messages" category) and Segmentation fault (in the errors category). Ditto Guru Meditation (in error messages)/Blue screen of death (in errors). Ditto Not a typewriter (in error messages)/lp0 on fire (in errors). Unless you can explain why each of those pairs is where it is and not in the other category then they need to be merged. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, it is a sort of a WP:SHAREDNAME issue, where articles have been collected together with the literal error message as the article name. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:59, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename to Category:People from Puntland per original nomination. Main article clearly state that Puntland is a federal state of Somalia, and claims to be that. Although it may largely run its business on its own seen the current weakness of central power in Somalia, the situation has not much to do with that of de facto independent Somaliland.

Mason (talk) 01:14, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As previously, British North America was not a unified transnational polity that people were citizens of, such that "British North America" would have ever been considered their nationality — it was merely an umbrella term for a lot of different places that had their own separate nationalities, not one giant thing. A person from Upper Canada/Canada West or Lower Canada/Canada East prior to 1867 was very much still a Canadian, for instance — just because Canada wasn't fully independent yet doesn't mean Canada and Canadians didn't exist yet. It was kind of like "Leeward Islands" today: sure, that's a geographic term that encompasses a specific set of places, but all of said places also have their own more specific names and identities. You wouldn't say that a person from one of them was Leeward Islander, you'd say they were Virgin Islander or Kittitian or Antiguan or Guadeloupean or Puerto Rican or Montserratian.
    All of that said, upmerging the contents doesn't seem to be strictly necessary here. JPL mostly seems not to have done that with this set, as far as I can tell, but he used to have a habit of incorrectly replacing Canadian categories with "British North America" or "British Empire" categories instead of merely adding the British stuff as extras — so some caution should be used to ensure that nobody gets completely decategorized here, but at least among the articles I checked they were all still in appropriate and correct Canadian categories and thus don't need to be upmerged to the stated targets. Bearcat (talk) 15:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bearcat: before 1867, was "Canada" in use as a synonym of British North America excluding the Bahamas, or was it used for Upper Canada and Lower Canada together? Marcocapelle (talk) 08:18, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upper and Lower Canada, but what difference would that make to what I said? "All of British North America" wasn't a thing at all, it was just a geographic descriptor that had no more relevance to or bearing on anybody's nationality than "Leeward Islands" does. A person from Canada was a Canadian, not a British North American; a person from the Bahamas was Bahamian, not British North American; and on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 16:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bearcat: it matters for people outside Lower Canada and Upper Canada while Canada did not exist yet as a political entity. Were people outside Lower Canada and Upper Canada considered to be Canadians too? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, but they each had their own standalone demonyms and still never substituted "British North American" in any sense. And since every contemporary Canadian province already has its own "Pre-Confederation X people" category for people who lived there before it was a Canadian province, they never need generic "British North America" categorization since they already have more specific subcats. Bearcat (talk) 19:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manually merge to an occupation in North America category, e.g. Category:North American writers, insofar subjects were not Canadians, per above discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manually merge individuals, then delete category coming here to comment on the BNA lawyers category. I agree with Bearcat that BNA is too broad a category, but I don’t think the BNA lawyer category should be merged with the even broader "Lawyer" category. There already are categories for lawyers in each of the Canadian provinces. I think the individuals who are currently in this category could be moved to those provincial categories, then the empty BNA Lawyer category be deleted. I’ve taken a quick skim and several of the individuals were called to the bar prior to Confederation in 1867 but continued to practise after confederation, so I don’t see any inaccuracy in putting them in the provincial category, even if the bulk of their practice time was prior to Confederation (eg Papineau, Cartier). Lower Canada / Canada East and Upper Canada / Canada West are special cases. I would make a sub-cat in the existing Quebec and Ontario lawyer categories for lawyers who practised in those provinces prior to Confederation and ceased to practise before 1867. They never practised in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, but there is clear continuity in the practice of law in those jurisdictions, so sub-cats make sense. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 12:27, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • This would be a good alternative too, avoiding deletion and also avoiding that articles are moved too high up in the tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here’s the Canadian lawyers category I mentioned: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_lawyers You’ll see that it has sub-cats for all the provinces: Pre-Confédération lawyers could be put in the appropriate provincial sub-cat: Nova Scotia lawyers, New Brunswick lawyers, etc., with sub-cats for Lower Canada in the Quebec category, and Upper Canada in the Ontario category.
