Category:New Shepard astronauts

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 to Category:Commercial astronauts and Category:Blue Origin people * Pppery * it has begun... 16:13, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Propose renaming Category:New Shepard astronauts to Category:New Sherpard commercial astronauts
Nominator's rationale: They were designated commercial astronauts by the FAA (which as a program was ceased after 2021), which is separate from that of traditional Astronauts/Cosmonauts with its own category of Category:Commercial astronauts, as it also included several passengers/space tourists that were technically spaceflight participants as they were not active crew, which is why the program was ceased and now such people are considered spaceflight participants. Raladic (talk) 01:11, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Rename per nomination, the nominator's rational seems sound, and fits well with the hopefully positive outcome of the nomination just above. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:43, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Rename Per the spirit of WP:C2D to follow Commercial astronaut. - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:25, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Do Not Rename - Instead Merge to Category:Commercial astronauts. Aside from the fact that there are only 2 articles, I see no compelling rationale for subdividing that Category by company. Anomalous+0 (talk) 03:25, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 22:59, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This appears to have been used by {{Highly wanted draft}}, which was redirected to {{Promising draft}} following a TFD discussion early this year. I see no reason why this category needs to be kept around. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:7DA2:38F2:FA71:E5BC (talk) 19:14, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

Category:19th-century Czech Jews

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: Don't rename; no prejudice against another nomination on whether to merge or not. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:13, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: rename, aligning with the 18th century and earlier. In the 19th century Czechs were an ethnicity in Bohemia, but Jews were a different ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:26, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
@Marcocapelle Some of the people in these categories, like Asriel Günzig or Romeo Seligmann, were Moravian Jews rather than Bohemian Jews. If you change the name, Moravian Jews will be inaccurately categorized as Bohemian Jews. Why is the parent category called "19th-century Czech people" when this area was part of the Kingdom of Bohemia during this time? I'm not sure if anyone pre-Czechoslovakia should be categorized as Czechs. If the parent category and subcategories like "19th-century Czech people by occupation" and "19th-century Czech women" are renamed as well (and split into Moravian and Bohemian categories), I'm fine with the renaming. Otherwise, it has the effect of othering Jews, so I'd oppose it. I object to the idea that "Czech Jew" is or was an oxymoron. Jews were well-represented within Czech nationalism and the Czech National Revival and often identified themselves as Czechs. Can we scrap all the pre-20th century Czech categories for Bohemian and Moravian categories? 05:34, 6 September 2025 (UTC) Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 05:34, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
  • As far as I know, the county of Moravia was considered to be part of the kingdom of Bohemia. I have not nominated all 19th-century Czech categories because in the course of the 19th century people started to identify as part of Czech ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge to a timeless category (Category:Czech Jews, Category:Czech rabbis). These categories refer to present-day Czech Republic, and these people belong to the history of the Czech Republic. Our categories being organized simultaneously along geographic and historical lines creates this type of mild anachronism, but attempting to solve them usually only creates more problems. I don't find it shocking to use Czech for things related to Czech history. Place Clichy (talk) 17:55, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

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 Four articles needed to be added to Category:People killed in the American Civil War - I did so. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:14, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: A non-defining intersection of two unrelated characteristics. Far more non-slave owners were killed during the war than slave owners. It's not clear what makes this intersection notable. User:Namiba 15:28, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Support in principle, but move articles into Category:People killed in the American Civil War if they aren't already in another subcategory of it. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:15, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete After Manual Check To ensure they're already somewhere else in the Civil War deaths tree. The war and slavery were interconnected, but I'm not seeing the defining intersection with this subcategory. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:41, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
    Support after ensuring they're already categorized elsewhere in the tree. Although it is a interesting curiosity, it's not a defining feature. SMasonGarrison 04:33, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 22:59, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: only 3 articles in the entire Shia tree, subcategorizing that tree is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:16, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 14:40, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This category seems pointless. categories related to the company´s divisions like Columbia Pictures and TriStar Pictures already exist. There's already a Sony Pictures films category, so this will just cause further bloat. TheDutchArchivist (talk) 13:31, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
  • The creator of the category had removed this discussion. I restored it just now. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Please don't delete Category:Sony Pictures Releasing films, because I like to keep it.  Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterLGreen1996 (talkcontribs)
    Hi @User:PeterLGreen1996, you need to give a reason why the category should be kept. I like it is not a reason. Mclay1 (talk) 23:35, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete as WP:Overcategorization and upmerge to Category:Sony Pictures films. Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 18:28, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete and upmerge, per nom. Οἶδα (talk) 04:47, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete: I support this removal. Sony Pictures Releasing is mainly the distribution arm. TPalkovitz (talk) 21:14, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Nom has added a second category to the nomination. It makes sense to discuss them together. I will tag that page. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:30, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
    I added the category because it is a subcat that the discussion also applies to. Thank you for tagging it, I forgot to do so. Οἶδα (talk) 06:38, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Volleyball players from Ontario. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 23:01, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Indigenous Mexican diaspora in the United States. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 23:02, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Propose renaming Category:Indigenous Mexican American to Category:Indigenous Mexican American people
Nominator's rationale: This should be renamed to have some sort of proper noun, like people or Americans. SMasonGarrison 03:40, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
@Smasongarrison This isn't a category for individuals, so that makes no sense. A better name might be Category:Indigenous Mexican diaspora in the United States. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 03:58, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

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 with redirect * Pppery * it has begun... 16:12, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: It has been almost 6 years since the Academy Awards renamed their Best Foreign Language Film category to Best International Feature Film. This meets WP:C2D and even meets "(ii) unilaterally to reflect an official renaming which is verified by one or more citations", meaning the category could have been renamed 6 years ago. Οἶδα (talk) 03:23, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Dual merge * Pppery * it has begun... 16:12, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: dual upmerge also to Ukrainian painters because there are only two categories here, which isn't really enough to help with navigation SMasonGarrison 02:01, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: I'm closing this entire discussion as procedurally invalid, since it has no comments from anyone and wasn't tagged. FastCube, you are welcome to renominate this properly if you wish. I suggest using User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:11, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Sports seasons category names are all over the place (between "Seasons in x" and "x seasons"). The main naming convention appears to be "Seasons in x" (e.g. Category:Seasons in African sport, Category:Seasons in American sport, Category:Seasons in badminton. If we rename this entire list to "Seasons in x", it will follow the entire procedure. FastCube (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
