Category:Hemispheres

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. bibliomaniac15 00:12, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This category is a hodgepodge of unrelated things and its very existence forms an undesirable WP:Category escape hatch between earth sciences and mathematics, in addition to making things like Far side of the Moon an indirect subcat of Category:Earth. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:50, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
It's also worth pointing out that the link between this category and Category:Spheres is contributing to a very large number of category cycles (see my edits removing those from the to-do list) * Pppery * it has begun... 04:58, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete, Hemisphere is a disambiguation page that already links to all this content. That is sufficient. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 13:09, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 15:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. Most vtubers do not disclose the performer behind them as it is central to the "vtuber" identity to be not identified. _dk (talk) 23:47, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
Delete: At the time I made this category I was just trying to organize the parent category and now I see this one wasn't as helpful YourAverageWeeb (talk) 23:53, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete, it is also uncommon to categorize people by treaty. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: The "works by" category negates the need for an eponymous parent. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:08, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
Idk what you're talking about, I just followed Category:Sia (musician) instructions. Zero reason to remove the category. Camilasdandelions (talk!) 22:04, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Category:Rome Romans players

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: Split This shouldn't have been impletmented before closure, but consensus is nevertheless to ratify the improper action. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Similar to my rationale for nominatnig the Columbus Discoverers for splitting, these are two different teams representing two different cities in two different states at two different times. The difference here is the first category can't follow the "Category:Team (League) players" convention because the Georgian team played in three different leagues. I suppose "Rome Romans (Rome, Georgia) players" is another possible title. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 17:59, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Split per nom. If after that they are sufficiently populated. -- Just N. (talk) 13:52, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Split Thanks for your effort on this. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:51, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Category has already been prematurely emptied by the nominator before this discussion could be closed. Liz Read! Talk! 03:51, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 15:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: I've nominated the main ACES article for deletion for issues of promotion/spam/COI (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alabama Cooperative Extension System), so the associated category would also need to be deleted Shredlordsupreme (talk) 17:42, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Just follow the outcome of the AfD process. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete for Different Reasons I'm not going to second guess the AFD discussion about the main article, but this category sure feels like nondefining WP:OCASSOC both with the university articles as well as with Seaman A. Knapp. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:57, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Category:BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola

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 * Pppery * it has begun... 15:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Category that was created solely to hold a draft and a logo image file -- but drafts can't be in categories per WP:DRAFTNOCAT, so that had to be removed. As always, every educational institution that exists does not automatically get its own eponymous category as a matter of course -- that can happen if there's a significant volume of spinoff content related to that institution to file in it, but is not automatically needed just to contain its logo alone. And BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola is just one campus of a larger institution, rather than a standalone thing -- so at present it's just covered in the base article about the institution as a whole rather than its own standalone article, and even if the draft did get moved into articlespace this category would still need more spinoff content, over and above just the eponym and its logo, to become justifiable anyway. Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. While BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola is currently included as a section of a broader article BAF Shaheen Colleges, it is a notable institution in its own right, with an independent administrative structure, a separate official website, and a significant student and faculty population (over 6,000+ students). It has had independent media coverage, a long historical presence since 1972, and English/Bengali versions, which often leads to further content such as alumni, events, or academic programs. The logo is not the only potential content — with article development underway, the category will eventually organize distinct pages such as alumni, principals, college events, etc. Precedents exist (e.g., Category:North South University) where single-campus institutions are granted their own categories. I intend to expand relevant pages accordingly.

  • It doesn't matter what you assert that the category "will" contain "eventually" — it matters what can already be filed in the category now. The content has to exist first and then the category to group it together comes second, not vice versa — because what if the content you say the category "will" contain "eventually" never happens? So you make the content first, and then you can create a category only after at least five pieces of content for it already exist. Bearcat (talk) 21:42, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete for now, there may be a case for an article, but a category should contain at least a handful of articles and we are far away from that. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 13:12, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete for Now I would welcome multiple notable articles on this topic. If and when that happens, no objection to recreation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:58, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 15:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The Church of the East was renamed to the Assyrian Church of the East in 1976, the current category name is anachronistic. Mugsalot (talk) 09:51, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Only one member, and I'm not sure what purpose this serves beyond the parent category, Category:Unincorporated areas of Victoria (state). The page in this category is already a member of the parent category. – numbermaniac 07:59, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
