Nominator's rationale: These are very small categories. Merge to new parent that has just been created by splitting per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 July 19#Category:Maluku Islands and New Guinea (Indonesia) geography stubs. The templates might as well be kept. – Fayenatic London 13:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep some -- Sri Lanka had a long civil war between the Buddhist-led majority and the Tamils. I suspect they speak different languages and remain ethnically distinct. Ethnicity is thus significant. Not sure about Chetty and Moor. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:46, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom and precedent. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:15, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment - If WP:PERFCAT is meant to apply to athletes then sport examples really need to be added to the guideline. Right now all examples are of the arts. I find it weird that if it applies to athletes there is not a single relevant example, given the sheer number of athlete articles. I’m not voting on the proposal, let consensus fall where it may.

The result of the discussion was: rename. No consensus on whether to delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Consistent with parent article Region of León. Super Ψ Dro 12:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete, this is about regionalism in a former first-level administrative division and only the two articles truly belong in this category. The medieval kingdom of Leon was at times much bigger than the former administrative division, and other subcategories that have been added here have joint content for the new administrative division of Castilia and Leon. The two articles can directly refer to each other without the need of a category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:02, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

People of Breton descent‎

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: no consensus (weak keep). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:55, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: merge, with very few exceptions these people are descending of French nationals long after the duchy of Brittany lost its independence. Insofar people were an active member of an expatriate Breton community (separately organized from expatriate French people) they may be added to e.g. Category:Breton diaspora or Category:Breton American on an individual basis. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:41, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Support. Its not useful to subdivide descent categories in this way. Breton much more a geographical than an ethnic description. Many of these articles dont mention Brittany at all. Rathfelder (talk) 07:53, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose merge and deletions - Bretons are a distinct ethnic and linguistic group, similar to the Basques and other ethnicities within France. They formed distinct communities in the countries where they settled. This erases a large amount of content and categories, particularly the "Category:People of Breton descent" proposed deletion. Scanlan (talk) 00:41, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
  • If they are so distinct why do the articles make no mention of it? Pinochet was a " descendant of an 18th century French Breton immigrant". Where is the evidence of this community? Rathfelder (talk) 07:07, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

  • Oppose as per Dimadick. A regional and linguistic identity doesn't stop being so when one leaves the larger entity in which it is based. The above suggestion and following comment from Marcocapelle don't even match up, you want to delete 'French people of Breton descent' but concede that they have a distinct identity in France. So that one should be struck for one. But what I infer from the deletion proposals is the idea that when people from Brittany (or anywhere) move abroad they instantly abandon all their cultural and linguistic identity and identify solely as French, and pass that simplified history on to their children – to me, that is a complete nonsense. In terms of Wikipedia, the use and addition of categories like this shows readers are interested to know what people have Breton family origin but were not born there, as they are with all credibly recognisable subnational groups, of which Breton certainly is one.
Alternatively, for consistency ALL the various subnational ethnic/regional origin categories, particularly the many of Italy and Spain I have come across, should be nominated here too as they have also been appropriated for use by the modern day diaspora rather than those people directly from the medieval kingdoms that predated the current nations (Aragon, Venice etc). Some such categories may have stronger claims to exist than others, but to be honest Brittany would be very near the top of any such list despite the best attempts of France to dilute it into nothing over the centuries (now being reversed somewhat). Certainly I am not suggesting that 'Chilean people of French descent' should not ALSO be included in relevant articles, and as always with categorisation there will be some that have slipped in without referencing - an issue that should be resolved, but is not what is being proposed here.
Overall this is a case of trying to fix (erase?) something that is not broken. If it is really so undesirable that people from a long-established, multi-faceted region of a country should be identified on Wikipedia as such even when they move abroad and produce offspring with at least part of that culture, a practical solution could be to rename these categories as Category:French people of Duchy of Brittany descent etc, which looks clumsy but will discount all the modern people and they could have it deleted from their articles. But better to abandon this wiki-ethnic cleanse altogether IMO. PS I have mentioned this discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject France for wider input - which may well support the proposals rather than my view, we shall see. Crowsus (talk) 13:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose in most cases -- The French category may be difficult to define, so that I am neutral on that. The British category has nothing but an English subcat, making it a redundant level. The Irish one only has two articles, which is not enough to keep. All the rest have more than 5 members, which is enough to Keep them. Brittany was a province of France, divided at the French Revolution into three departments, but there is no problem in identifying the scope. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:43, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Confucianism. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:55, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: rename, align with Category:Eastern philosophy and Category:Chinese philosophy. There is not an article under the name of either Confucian thought or Confucian philosophy, both are redirects to Confucianism. Upmerging of the category to Category:Confucianism might be an alternative. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:12, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:57, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This is a highly controversial, derogatory and charged category which has blatant WP:BLP implications, lumping allegations on specific individuals that are not directly verified in third-party, reliable sources. Rather, it seems to indiscriminately list anyone who has voiced a defense of China or challenged the popular narrative regarding this issue, as if there is no legitimate debate to be had on it. In his light, it appears to have no other useful purpose as to be an attack category of sorts. The Uyghur genocide is an extremely controversial and contested topic, and for this reasons there was not even a consensus (after heavy debate) to list it on the article genocide denial itself, so how can there be a category of such?- Sunderland Renaissance (talk) 04:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
