Category:Battles of the Middle Ages by location

- 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 all. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 04:33, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Battles of the Middle Ages by location (2 C, 0 P)
- Category:Battles in medieval Anatolia (35 P)
- Category:Battles in medieval Thrace (5 P)
- Option 1: Just delete all. All battles are already in the relevant involving former country X categories. (most of these are Byzantine Empire and its successors, Arab caliphates, Bulgaria, Armenia, Seljuk sultanates and their successors). Neither Thrace nor Anatolia was or is a "country".
- Option 2: Upmerge to Category:Battles of the Middle Ages; delete Category:Battles of the Middle Ages by location. This seeks a common denominator to upmerge to, as the precedent does. But to me, it rather feels like "dumping" them into a rather unspecific category that isn't very helpful.
- Option 3: Rename to Category:Military history of medieval Anatolia and Category:Military history of medieval Thrace; add parent Category:Military history of Turkey; delete Category:Battles of the Middle Ages by location. This is somewhat in line with other recent precedents that upmerge or rename Battles in Fooland to Military history of (modern administrative unit). But due to the Lorraine problem, these would not be proper new categories. "Turkey" is a proper modern administrative unit, but "medieval Thrace" and "medieval Anatolia" aren't; neither Thrace nor Anatolia was or is a "country", nor is there any Category:Military history of medieval Fooland.
- Option 4: Merge directly into Category:Military history of Turkey; delete Category:Battles of the Middle Ages by location. This is more closely in line with other recent precedents that upmerge or rename Battles in Fooland to Military history of (modern administrative unit). However, this is quite a stretch, as the Republic of Turkey was not established until 1923, and the ancestors of modern Turks did not really enter Anatolia until the 11th century as Seljuks. Unlike other children of Category:Middle Ages by country, there isn't a Category:Medieval Turkey, nor is there any Category:Military history of medieval Fooland.
- Nominator's rationale: WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 24#Category:Battles of the Byzantine–Bulgarian Wars in Thrace. All three were upmerged to Category:Battles of the Byzantine–Bulgarian Wars without a location marker. Given all considerations, I would recommend Option 1, but I'm curious to hear what others have to say. NLeeuw (talk) 06:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge mer nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Question Okay, I am in favour of upmerging for now all those categories that have fewer than 5 items (I had recommended such a follow-up, so thanks for that!). But you would even upmerge a relatively well-populated category like Category:Tang dynasty Taoists (26 P), as the specific dynasty is considered "trivial" in addition to each of these people being Taoists from Imperial China? Just making sure that we're all on the same page. NLeeuw (talk) 06:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Note to @Mason: In your last comment, you said to Yinweiaiqing you have made A LOT of categories that are still underpopulated. That's probably not true. As far as I know, all the underpopulated categories that I listed for possible future upmerging were created by other people over the course of many years, some going back to 2010. These were not created by Yinweiaiqing a few days ago just to populate the Category:People from Imperial China by religion. I didn't check all edit histories, but all categories I checked weren't newly created by Yinweiaiqing a few days ago. NLeeuw (talk) 06:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge for now for the tiny categories. Re; Good to know about Yinweiaiqing . I still stand by my repeated request that they populate their categories. But I do recognize that since I've raised the issue they haven't been making single person cateogories. Mason (talk) 11:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: merge and purge. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 20:33, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Stub category no longer populated enough to warrant retention. As always, stub categories need to have a minimum of 60 articles, but after I detagged a handful of articles that were too long to be tagged as stubs at all this went from 25 to 20. It has existed in its current form since 2011, after being deleted as underpopulated in 2007 -- but was then tagged as underpopulated again in 2018, until that template was deleted at TFD, so it's not entirely clear that it was ever really adequately populated at all.
Even the 20 pages that are here are a bit of a random grab bag, as it's populated mainly by video game or album tie-ins to Cartoon Network programming and/or foreign channels that franchised Cartoon Network or Boomerang branding, rather than things that actually have much to do with the Category:United States television stubs parent -- so it's not at all clear that there are actually very many things that could be added here to get it back over 60 articles again. It's not generally standard practice, at any rate, to stub-tag things for overly specific associations like particular TV networks; WikiProject Cartoon Network already has project templates on the talk pages anyway, so this isn't serving any important purpose that isn't already being served elsewhere.

- I'm of two minds. The international Cartoon Network or Boomerang franchise channels would be fine in Category:Animation stubs, but the tie-in albums probably don't belong there at all, the couple of actual TV shows in this category are already in Category:Animated television series stubs alongside this as it is and thus don't need to be double-filed in the general animation parent, and there's also a person in this grab-bag who wouldn't belong there. So merging would be fine, as long as there's a purge along with it. Bearcat (talk) 12:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Stub template of unclear utility. It's only used on a grand total of ten articles, so it doesn't have its own dedicated stub category and instead just sorts those articles into the generic Category:Musical group stubs -- but because every last one of those ten articles features this template alongside a "Nationality-band-stub" template that sorts its articles into a more specific national or continental subcategory of Category:Musical group stubs, that means this template is adding nothing but unnecessary parent-and-child duplicate categorization.
