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. MER-C 08:57, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The "Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands" has an official name, Dutch Caribbean. This name is in use by WP and is the name of the parent Category:Sport in the Dutch Caribbean by sport. BTW "sport by sport" is also confusing but a problem of an entire category tree. gidonb (talk) 13:34, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:BrownHairedGirl, could you specify which former colonies are you referring to? None of the six islands of the Dutch Caribbean are independent. Maybe you are referring to the fact that the three most populous islands in the Dutch Caribbean are officially states and the other three public bodies? It has no impact on the name. gidonb (talk) 13:55, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy rename following precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 August 16#Category:Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The rest of the Dutch Caribbean hierarchy has already been speedily renamed, but these few were overlooked. Note: I have tagged the second nominated category, and added two further siblings. – Fayenatic London 14:57, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:33, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment substituting Dutch Caribbean by "Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands" is a lot like substituting all instances of Liechtenstein by the "Country locked between Switzerland and Austria". For sure such a name would be unambiguous, however, there is no ambiguity problem with the proper name either and absolutely no reason we need to subsititute the name by a description. gidonb (talk) 22:19, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 08:48, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is correct, but on the other hand it can't have an official name, since officially it is a mixture of different types of policies. Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not an official name either. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:54, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: While there have been Americans who married foreign nobles, there is no American nobility system. Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 12:51, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the category page makes it clear this is not about a non-existent nobility of the United States. Opera hat (talk) 13:43, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment they are not "American nobility" but foreign nobility with American citizenship. There are no other categories like this. It is unnecessary. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, agree with the latter comment. For example, Elise, Countess of Edla is correctly placed in Category:Portuguese nobility. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:34, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Peerage systems are necessarily connected to the governance of the country which creates them. Rathfelder (talk) 22:13, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but possibly rename: Obviously, there's a reason for the category; there are plenty of names there, and three subcategories. If someone doesn't like that the name implies that the nobility derives from the United States, then rename it. But having nobility (from another country) is significant for a U.S. citizen, and probably implies something significant about the person's notability, since the person has to get permission from Congress, because of the Nobility Clause of the U.S. Constitution. (but see clarification below) --Closeapple (talk) 06:28, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So will we create categories for Chinese people who have married nobility? And Mexican people? And all other countries without a noble system? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 13:30, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I should clarify that a person only needs to get permission from Congress to accept a noble title (or other foreign office or title) if the person has an "office of profit or trust" under the United States (i.e. a government job). --Closeapple (talk) 04:23, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I will go restore while a consensus is reached. Thank you for tagging. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:31, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/rename -- Both are now empty, perhaps emptied out of process. "American born" would fit the bill. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:10, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I stopped adding articles to these categories once this discussion was started. This will not be a WP:SMALL category. Opera hat (talk) 10:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, on the basis we don't have an "American-born" or any other "FOO-born" category tree, particularly with nobility. Either you're American or you're not. Presumably this has sprung from the Meghan Markle effect? Sionk (talk) 20:26, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Half of what you said is entirely false. Alice Heine was Monaco's first "American princess" [2] -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:31, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Princess from America. Not an American princess. The source states that she was "Monaco's first American princess", which means Monaco's princess, who was American. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 13:29, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the source uses "American princess" for Heine. And she should be categorized with the other "American princesses", like Grace Kelly also called an "American princess" in that source. Because that's what sources care about, and that's what history cares about, and Wikipedia is not built on the ignorance nor prejudices of its editors, its built on what sources care about, and they care about American princesses (no matter how much a Wikipedia editor POV pushes their dislike of it). Alanscottwalker (talk) 20:12, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am not pushing a POV, I am supporting factual categories on Wikipedia. There is no such thing as an American princess. Monaco is possessive in that statement, not "American". It reads Monaco's princess. American is an adjective to describe her. Otherwise she would have been America's princess. Not Monaco's. It's the same as saying Monaco's first (Black, Jewish, Catholic, Hispanic, etc.).. We don't categorize that way for royalty. She was a Monegasque princess who was an American. That is fact. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:43, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are a POV pushing, if the world cared to only look at things the way you insist they must, your ideas could manage to matter but to the world of sources, there are, and these people are, American princesses. You are not interested in facts, you are only interested in imposing your world view and therefore you refuse to follow sources on the category American princesses. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:15, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing as there is no such thing as an American princess, it is fact. Not point of view. It's not my "world view". One book describing a Montesquieu princess as American does not a category of American princesses make. This is ridiculous. Furthermore, we do not do this for any other nationality. Many people in the category "German Princesses", for example, are not German citizens. It isn't about citizenship. It's about the land from which the title is bestowed. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 03:31, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Multiple sources refer to American princesses, so not only are are you POV pushing, based solely on what phrases you personally like and do not like, you are clearly very determined in your POV pushing by denying sources, and unfamiliar with what a fact is, the fact is, is that sources refer to these people as American princesses, that is fact. Your personal limited POV about what American princesses are, just do not accord with the sources. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 10:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone here seems to be pushing a POV, it's you. There is no legal standing for "American princesses". I'm not opposed to listing or categorizing these women to help with searches, but this is not the correct way. I do not appreciate being accused of "POV pushing", when all I am pushing for is keeping Wikipedia fact-based. I am not opposed to having categories like "Royalty born in the United States" and "American spouses of European royalty", which is more accurate. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 11:18, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then stop your POV pushing, categories do not exist to have "legal standing", your argument about a categorization and legal standing is preposterous, and can only be chocked up to POV pushing. You have just changed your POV pushing from bogus "fact" to irrelevant legal theory pushing, all the while there in black-and-white print are American princesses according to sources, and you just do not like that. (Now as far as I can tell, here, you have never mentioned these alternatives before, so if they are in good faith that is a rename proposal, not a delete rationale.) Alanscottwalker (talk) 11:52, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, I'm not POV-pushing. And your obsession with accusing me of so is getting quite old. While I have not mentioned renaming before, earlier I did state that While useful to have them grouped together, I feel that would be better as a list rather than as a category. I just do not see categorizing them in this way, which is inaccurate, as the best way. But I am not opposed to finding a solution to grouping them together. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 11:57, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, thanks for coming finally to consensus (shame you did not lead with that), from the beginning I have said rename is fine. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 12:09, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
More so a shame that you had to accuse users of pushing POV when that has not at all been the case. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 13:07, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, when you do not follow sources, based on un-sourced statements, stating own dislike of the words sources use, that's POV pushing, and that's what you have done. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:38, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Peerage systems are necessarily connected to the governance of the country which creates them. Rathfelder (talk) 22:12, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Peerage? This section is about royaty not nobility. Other than that, right. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:54, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Prince of Chimay is a title of nobility, not royalty, and accounts for the half of titles feeding this two-article category. Place Clichy (talk) 16:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would you object to Category:American-born princesses to remove the ambiguity? Opera hat (talk) 10:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would this category be for Americans who married princes or who were born princesses? Or both? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:30, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Some people who would be categorized here actually live in the United States and were born possessing titles, so they are not all emigrants. That is part of the reason I do not support this category. There isn't a distinction between people born in the United States who are princesses and those who are Americans that married royalty. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 11:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are correct. I should have said: if applicable these articles should be in the tree of Category:American emigrants but there is no need to diffuse emigrants by occupation in the new country. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or rename. Johnbod (talk) 16:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or listify as trivia and per above discussion. Place Clichy (talk) 16:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree! Listify as a list would be far more appropriate, as made in points by Place Clichy in the above conversation regarding the status of Category:American nobility. Besides, a category already exists for Princesses by marriage. A list of Americans who became princesses/duchesses through marriage, or were born as princesses, is much more appropriate here than a category. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: There is no peerage system in the United States. Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 12:51, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is indeed a peerage system in those countries, established by the Monarchy of Canada, Monarchy of Australia, and the former Emperor of India, who also happen to be the British monarch. Australia and Canada, and formerly India, are part of the British Commonwealth while the United States is not. There are Canadian peers and baronets, Australian peers and baronets, and Indian peers and baronets. There are no American peers. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:29, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid you're wrong when you say that "there is indeed a peerage system in those countries". The Australians, Canadians and Indians in those categories are peers of England, Scotland, Ireland or the United Kingdom, not peers of Canada, Australia or India. Opera hat (talk) 17:59, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
These countries are members of the British Commonwealth and are monarchies ruled by the British monarch. The United States of America is not. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 18:18, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You cannot really compare the US with a society with rich and ancient nobility system and traditions like India. Place Clichy (talk) 16:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, but we do have categories for Australian-born, Canadian-born and Indian-born peers. Australia, Canada, India and the USA are all anglophone countries with historical and cultural ties to the UK. Of course there are going to be more UK peers from these countries than there are from France or Russia. Opera hat (talk) 17:59, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because their titles are officially titles in the British Commonwealth, which their countries are a part of! Their titles have legal standing. France and Russia are not ruled by the British monarch! -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 18:20, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, they don't have legal standing. Honours systems within the Commonwealth are not mutually recognised. For example, Anthony Bailey was prohibited from calling himself "Sir" in the UK despite holding knighthoods awarded in the name of the Queen of Antigua and Barbuda and the Queen of Grenada. Kenneth Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet's peerage was not recognised in Canada where he was known as Mr Ken Thomson. Commonwealth countries are just as "foreign" as the USA when peerages are concerned. Opera hat (talk) 18:48, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would you object to Category:American-born peers to remove the ambiguity? Opera hat (talk) 10:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
American-born peers of what? American-born British peers? American-born French peers? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:24, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Pocatello metropolitan area manually. MER-C 10:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category for a small suburb of Pocatello, Idaho whose entries completely overlap with (or can overlap with) Category:Pocatello metropolitan area. SounderBruce 00:35, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of these articles are not specifically related to Chubbuck, but rather to Pocatello as a whole. Thus, we have two options:
    A: Rename to Category:Pocatello, Idaho to broaden its scope
    B: Upmerge
    C: Outright deletion, as proposed by nom
For any of these options, however, we will need to remove the highway articles, which stretch beyond the Pocatello metropolitan area. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 10:06, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per the previous comment, there are only two options (namely rename A or merge B). The third one, outright deletion, does not make sense as that would remove the articles from the Pocatello metropolitan hierarchy. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:28, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Do we really want two competing nomenclature systems? The vast majority, more than 90%, of articles about academics are like Category:University of Foo faculty. Is there any evidence that practice in Ghana is different? Rathfelder (talk) 19:43, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Certainly merge somehow, it is certainly not desirable to leave these two categories next to each other. I suppose it needs to be left to follow-up discussions to determine the ultimate nomenclature. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:02, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment -- In British universities (and probably other commonwealth countries). The faculty is an administrative structure similar to a school or a department: these are usually successive administrative levels. The academic staff are not commonly referred to as the faculty. This usage is essentially an Americanism. In such matters WP normally bows to actual local usage, rather than seeking to impose its onw category system regardless. We should certainly not have two parallel trees, but in a country that uses British rather than American nomenclature, the child of Faculty by country might well be Booian academics, which would in turn parent academics of the University of Foo.

On further inspection, Category:1756 festivals is justified by First Exhibition (1756). As for 353, Orchid Pavilion Gathering was likewise a one-off, but it is no help for navigation to leave Category:353 festivals‎ as an isolated category, so I will merge that one to 353. – Fayenatic London 14:16, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, until 1767 the tree of Category:Festivals by year is just a duplicate of its subcategory Category:Festivals by year of establishment. The first article in the tree about a festival of a particular year is Shakespeare Jubilee in 1769. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:32, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Trivial, non-defining category per WP:NONDEFINING and WP:TRIVIALCAT: merely being included in an encyclopedia is not a reason for categorization, and the women in this encyclopedia may share nothing noteworthy beyond being in the same book. Although we do have Category:Encyclopædia Britannica, we don't have Category:People in Encyclopædia Britannica (for good reason), and the former category is in need of purging miscellany. --Animalparty!

  • Support - This is akin to performers-by-performance. The only exceptions that I am aware of are the categories for people of the Bible, the Koran, etc. -- which are intrinsically quite different. Anomalous+0 (talk) 08:41, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- We use biographical dictionaries to establish notability. Appearance in one is not defining. There will be 1400 women in the category, which would imply splitting somehow: it is just not useful. As stated, it is far too like a Performance by performer category.

  • Delete – An article about a famous person, such as Susan B. Anthony, would likely end up in many categories of this type. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 18:11, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
