Category:Orators

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.

  • Nominator's rationale These two things overlap a lot. So much so the Rhetoricians lead says the subjects are both. Orator more often refers to people who go around giving public speeches. Rhetorician can mean this as well, but I think is used a bit less, but also can refer to people who instruct others in the art. However a lot of people historically who were instructors in the art were also practitioners. I think this is a case like Category:Dramatists and playwrights and several others where we have two different terms that primarily overlap and that are both used so that it does not make sense to choose just one, but is best if we have the category name have both.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:52, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
  • I am not opposing the nomination but if perhaps we keep the categories then we could make a better distinction by renaming Category:Rhetoricians to Category:Writers about rhetoric. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:32, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Unless every single person in this category is both these sorts of combined categories are misleading. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:40, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
    • Can you name one person who was an orator but not a rhetorician? A rhetorician and not an orator? How would you define the scope. We have combined categories like Category:hatters and milliners. Hatters made hats for men and were normally men, milliners were women who made, decorated, and sold hats for women. The two professions were distinct, although in the last 80 years they have largely merged. We have lots of people pre-1945 who were clearly one or the other. The Mad Hatter is not the mad milliner, and since women did not wear felt and milliners did not get mercury poisoning from treating it, there were not mad milliners as there were mad hatters. However there is just not enough to justify a split. I think we have a similar case here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:37, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
      From my reading of the articles, they don't seem to be the same thing at all. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:40, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment the heading of the Rhetoricians Category says "Category of Rhetoricians/Orators". So clearly some people think they are different. My reading is that both are people known for giving public speeches. If people feel there is a difference it would be best to actually explain what the difference is and give clear examples of who falls under each category. Right now it looks like orator is the more common name, but both are used to describe people who engage in public speaking.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:38, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Oppose I think. My take is that orators are indeed "are people known for giving public speeches" (which in probably most older cases do not survive), but rhetoricians are writers on and teachers of the composition and delivery of speeches, a considerably different thing, though of course there is a big overlap. For example Cassius Longinus (philosopher) is categorized as a rhetorician, and is one of the most famous classical ones. His fairly long article makes no mention of him making public speeches in any context other than teaching. Johnbod (talk) 23:06, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
The same might be said of John Franklin Genung (1850-1919). I'm sure some people are in the wrong categories - I'm not sure the only person in Category:Israeli orators belongs in either, and clearly that category is under the wrong parent! The ones we should probably merge are Category:Rhetoric theorists (including George Orwell) and the very dubious-looking Category:Trope theorists (including Charles Dickens, James Joyce, and Martin Amis - these last two were certainly not orators). Including Gail Simone may well have been a joke. I think someone has been running amock here, adding people mentioned in some book in communication theory. These two categories seem to be mostly modern American academics, and older Jesuits etc. But I think more specialist advice is needed. Probably the three most famous English orators, Edmund Burke, William Ewart Gladstone and Winston Churchill are nowhere in this tree, and where are the preachers?? "Orators" are apparently mainly classical or American. Does the List of female rhetoricians contain a single "orator" before very recent times? I think not. Merging to create a larger mess probably won't help; the whole tree needs a proper audit. Johnbod (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 21:45, 13 May 2026 (UTC)


Propose merge: I would suppose to merge “Category:Transport disasters” into Category:Transport accidents and incidents.
Nominator's rationale: There in not a difference in “disasters” and “accidents and incidents” in the (sub)category-trees.
Category:Transport disasters is a subcat of Category:Transport accidents and incidents. Because it’s a subcat, all pages in the “transport disasters” category should be only disasters and not general accidents and incidents. However in most of the (sub-)category trees this is not the case at all.
Some examples:

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 to Category:Islamic State. (non-admin closure) Staraction (talk · contribs) 11:54, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: rename removing Iraq and Levant. Meanwhile it is a global organization with "provinces" in many different countries. The main article is Islamic State but for a category name just Islamic State without disambiguator is probably too ambiguous. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion which is still open. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:43, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename to Category:Islamic State per WP:C2D. I'd argue we don't need the disambiguator. Unqualified, Islamic State is unambiguous and the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It's only similar to the generic Islamic state, from which it is already distinuished by WP:DIFFCAPS, plus singular common noun phrases like that generally aren't used as category names, so there's no chance of confusion in category space. Category:Islamic State already redirects to the category so clearly there's no need for the disambiguation. If we do disambiguate, perhaps the disambiguator should be Category:Islamic State (Islamist group) per Category:Islamist groups? Otherwise, we should use organisation for consistency with the article's WP:ENGVAR style. Whatever the name ends up being, the subcategories should follow suit. Mclay1 (talk) 01:20, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi, Mclay1. Sorry, it must be yonks since I last used CfD. I recall there being some drama over SMALLCAT a few years ago, but I didn't know it had been scrapped. As you say, this should be a merge, so I've reworded the nomination. Thanks very much, Jack (talk) 09:41, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 21:44, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT which has no potential for growth. WP:OCEPON, per Mclay1 below. Like all cricket awards and trophies, the main article belongs in Category:Cricket awards and rankings. No other cricket trophy has its own category, so this one is an unnecessary tangent. Jack (talk) 06:25, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:OCEPON. But note that WP:SMALLCAT and "no potential for growth" are no longer valid reasons at CfD. Mclay1 (talk) 09:07, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:27, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep The Wisden Trophy is neither an "award" or a "ranking". It's the trophy that was played for approximately twice every four years by the England cricket team and the West Indies cricket team, during a series of four or five Test matches played over the course of two or three months. Whichever team wins the most Tests in the series will win the trophy; if the series is tied, the current holder retains the trophy. There are other cricket trophies that are also played for by just two teams on a similar basis; the Ashes (England and Australia) is the oldest and best-known, but there are also the Frank Worrell Trophy (Australia and West Indies); Basil D'Oliveira Trophy (England and South Africa); Trans-Tasman Trophy (Australia and New Zealand), and several others. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    There are numerous "trophy" articles in the awards category already, including the ones you mention. Wisden Trophy is not a special case, and certainly should not have its own category. Marcocapelle is spot on saying it does nothing to help navigation, and thereby our readers. Jack (talk) 22:06, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    Well, how about suggestions of other articles that might belong in the category? For instance, West Indian cricket team in England in 1963; West Indian cricket team in England in 2020 and a whole bunch between? There are 28 of these in all. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:40, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete for Now per WP:NARROWCAT since it consists of only the Wisden Trophy and List of Wisden Trophy records, which are already crosslinked and well categorized. No objection to recreation though if multiple new articles appear on the individual matches or years. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:36, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

The criteria for award categories are not "very narrow"; per WP:OCAWARD, the award simply has to be defining for its recipients. Furthermore, this is part of a group of categories in Category:Recipients of the Order of the Defender of State of Penang and it wouldn't make sense to delete just one.

Keep per Mclay1. Deleting only one out of a larger system of categorization will only feed systemic bias. If these award categories are to be deleted, it needs a broader discussion not bit by bit deletion. Katzrockso (talk) 02:27, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't agree that receiving the award is a defining characteristic of the recipient. What defines them is the real life experience which earned the award. As for award categories worldwide, not just those about European chivalry, I would delete all of them, including Oscars and Players of the Year. None of them define their recipients, who are chosen subjectively. Awards may be mentioned in the recipients' articles, but they should not be category subjects unless they have a consensus-based special dispensation. I think OCAWARD should be discussed elsewhere. Jack (talk) 07:18, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    We can't delete one specific award category on the basis that you think all awards categories should be deleted. Either we should discuss the whole system or this category on its specific merits. As it stands, we have a categorisation system for awards into which this one fits. I don't understand why it would not be defining to receive a national honour or prestigious award; it would certainly be a defining moment in the life of many people. Mclay1 (talk) 07:44, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    My reason to delete this is that no award is a defining characteristic of the recipient. Johnpacklambert above said the conditions are "very narrow" but, unless there are some extra-special cases, I can't accept that any subjectively-chosen award defines a recipient. As I did say, we need to discuss OCAWARD elsewhere. Jack (talk) 08:04, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    And I responded to that argument. It's not a reasonable argument that no award is defining; Oscar-winning actors, for example, are very frequently referred to as Oscar-winning actors. That's not a trivial characteristic for their profession. As I said above, even if you think there should be no awards categories, that's not the rules we're playing by, so this category should be judged against the existing guidelines. Similarly, I pointed out in my first comment that Johnpacklambert's comment is completely incorrect. Mclay1 (talk) 09:04, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete Clicked through all the articles and they're mostly high ranking Tongan officials plus a rugby union player and none treated the award as defining.

Nominator's rationale: No links to this category redirect except for adjacent {{Category series navigation}}. Unnecessary for, and impedes navigation. See adjacent cats which unnecessarily link to 2023 & 2024.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:50, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. GiantSnowman 18:40, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep - the parent article was originally at 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup; the tournament was moved back a year. Having a redirect makes sense. GiantSnowman 18:42, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
    So keep the mainspace #R, but the category has no associated mainspace article, and no links to it, and it hinders navigation, so it shouldn't exist.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  23:11, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
    Why/how does it hinder navigation? GiantSnowman 19:44, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

    I don't see how the 2023 category hinders navigation... GiantSnowman 18:13, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
    • It is confusing, when you click 2023 you get 2024. It gives the impression that a mistake has been made. It would be clearer when there is no possibility to click 2023. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:30, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
      I don't get confused, but if that's the issue, add a note to the 2023 category. GiantSnowman 18:08, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
      Why add a note? The category has no associated mainspace article and no non-navigation links to it. You're proposing a solution to a problem caused by the category's existence, to justify its existence.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  11:37, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

  • Delete per above discussion. A note on the 2024 category page ("this was originally meant for 2023") may make some sense because that is where people land on. A note on the 2023 category page will not even be read. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:34, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Essentially synonymous, form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:41, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
Merge - agree, clearly a category loop. And also agree that Crime Fiction is the clearer category name to keep, consistent with other fiction type naming conventions. Stormh99 (talk) 21:13, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Oppose this way, the subcategories do not necessarily contain crime films as a genre. Maybe rename to Category:Films by criminal topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Oppose, crime fiction is a genre that is not entirely overlapping with fiction about crime. Crime fiction should be subcategory, that closes the loop. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:46, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Category:Association football coaches not diffused by gender or continent. Gjs238 (talk) 13:31, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The article can perhaps be added to Category:Female association football managers, the article text uses "coach" and "manager" interchangeably. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:06, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge to Category:Women association football coaches which could also include women like Izzy Christiansen, Sarina Wiegman, Emma Hayes, Marie-Louise Eta and quite a few others, and which could be part of the women by occupation tree. Notable subject. Fram (talk) 14:23, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
    @Fram: In football, the term is generally "manager" and those women are all in Category:Female association football managers. Mclay1 (talk) 07:55, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    Those women are now all in that cat, after you added them; they weren't all at the time I wrote my comment. And this means that the nom is incorrect, and that football coaches are diffused by gender already. Anyway, merge to Category:Female association football managers instead, with no objection to division by continent or country if that category gets bigger. Fram (talk) 08:02, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
    I only added two of them. Also someone else already added the one article in the nominated category so no merge is needed. Mclay1 (talk) 01:05, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename to Category:Women association football coaches. Also the manager category would best be renamed to use women as well. Generally women in the word used to refer to adult human females, and in both these occupations all the articles will be on adults.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:57, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

  • Delete. The above commenters who suggested renaming the category to Category:Women association football coaches are mistaken in thinking it is a needed category. In football, the people they're thinking of are managers not coaches, and we already have Category:Female association football managers. Mclay1 (talk) 07:50, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per Mclay1 et al. Typically, football does have "coaches", but these are assistants to the managers, & rarely notable until they become managers. Johnbod (talk) 20:56, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
