- Nominator's rationale: There are no actual articles for this category, and a low chance that a flood of real articles could ever be made.

- Propose deleting Category:Films with screenplays by Katell Guillou (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Films with screenplays by Mario Celaya (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Films with screenplays by Barbara Białowąs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Per past consensus, a filmmaker has to have a biographical article about them before getting a category to batch their films under. None of these categories have corresponding articles and all consist of only one or two films. An effort was make to broaden the categories by searching for other works by these filmmakers, and none were found. Vegantics (talk) 19:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: Keep * Pppery * it has begun... 19:00, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Everything in this category and its subcategories are trivial intersections. PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, these are not trivial intersections. AHI-3000 (talk) 17:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Which aren’t? How are they any different from model or sportspeople suicides? PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:16, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose this intersection would only ever be trivial if there couldn't possibly be a correlation between the two separate categories or any interest in a list of people who are part of the two categories. Of course this isn't the case here. Here are just three of thousands of sources that deal with the correlation between occupation and suicides: [1], [2], [3]. PetScan isn't by a long shot user-friendly and widespread enough that category overlaps should be abolished. Rkieferbaum (talk) 18:50, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- They are trivial intersections for our purposes. Is there any individual category you think to be defining? I would have nominated them individually but they all appear to be non defining. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:16, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. This category is helpful for navigation. SMasonGarrison 19:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison Navigation between categories that are non-defining. Which categories here do you think are defining? If there’s an argument that some are I can just nominate the others. But everything here the tie between these things seems wholly tangential. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:46, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- For further explanation, categories that go along the lines of “people murdered for [their occupation]” are defining and not trivial - but that is not what is here. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Until those child categories don't exist, I see no reason to delete this category. I had nominated several categories to discuss on their merits. I think your nomination here is premature. SMasonGarrison 20:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree. Every single category in the category seems just as non-defining as the others on their merits. Even if nothing comes out of it is productive to have a conversation about what is here and the general principle underlying them. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- You didn't nominate those categories, you only nominated the container category. SMasonGarrison 21:01, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison I was going to tag the subcategories later since that would take a bit.
- I want consistency more than anything - my issue is that the individual categories within this have been repeatedly deleted and recreated due to CfD discussions, all included within it are dubiously defining. I do not care if this category exists or not, but within it I want consistency. This category existing encourages trivial cross categorizations - but are they trivial?
- If there is some place we can discuss whether murder or suicide as an intersection with career is a valid cross categorizations, I can close this and we can have the discussion there, but I don’t know where we would bring this up! PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:07, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don’t have an issue with the general goal you’re trying to achieve, but I think a different approach would have been better. For example, starting with an RfC to gather community input could have been helpful. Starting a conversation on the talk page after looking through the several failed attempts that have come before might have also helped. You could have waited to get a sense of the broader community’s stance on these categories and to see how nominations for the several below played out.
- By starting with the nomination of the container category, you’ve inadvertently created a situation where those who want to retain even a single category are now united in opposition. A more incremental approach -- addressing individual categories first -- could have allowed for more productive discussions and gradual consensus-building. This way, you could have chipped away at the issue without alienating contributors who might otherwise support some of your proposals. SMasonGarrison 21:28, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison I apologize, I do not usually do CfDs, I admit fully this was not the ideal way to do this. I was looking at the murdered sportspeople category because I was writing an article on a murdered sportsperson and I thought that would be a useful category. Only to discover that the consensus was it be deleted several years ago, but it had been recreated without discussion. And then I looked at related categories and discovered the problem in question extends to several. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I also agree with the person below in that, I think the reverse is actually more ideal because I think these categories are either all defining or not at all. They all have the same problem. Half the keep votes in the individual CfDs are "there are other categories like this so this is part of that set" (which I sympathize with since they all seem about the same amount of defining). I don't know where I would put an RfC like this. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:59, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- An RFD might work on the category talk page or posting the question on the Categories for discussion talk page. SMasonGarrison 03:55, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- You didn't nominate those categories, you only nominated the container category. SMasonGarrison 21:01, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree. Every single category in the category seems just as non-defining as the others on their merits. Even if nothing comes out of it is productive to have a conversation about what is here and the general principle underlying them. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison Navigation between categories that are non-defining. Which categories here do you think are defining? If there’s an argument that some are I can just nominate the others. But everything here the tie between these things seems wholly tangential. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:46, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, these are non trivial and useful for navigation and as subcategories. Nayyn (talk) 23:46, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Nayyn How are they non-trivial? Consensus in past CfDs was to delete these. What changed? PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:02, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, these are not trivial intersections. AHI-3000 (talk) 17:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Malformed nomination, we should instead discuss the subcategories, one by one. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:25, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I get why you and others say this, but I beg to differ. This is actually the central discussion of all this. It's pointless to argue which specific occupations merit having a "suicides by occupation" category. You could oppose adding a certain article to that category (say, someone worked as a cashier for a few months before becoming a successful musician - they definitely shouldn't be categorized as "cashiers who committed suicide"). But if enough notable people of a certain occupation have committed suicide, then it makes sense to have one such category. We're not a panel of experts to judge whether there's correlation between one's occupation and their suicide, so I don't think there's any point in discussing whether the correlation between the two is trivial or meaningful. The one discussion that makes sense in all of this is whether an intersection between professional occupations and people who committed suicide should be categorized or not. So, yes, a "by occupation" cat should exist if there are enough subcats to fill it, but the whole point of the discussion lies on whether it deals with "trivial intersections" or not. It's pointless to have that discussion over each individual occupation. Rkieferbaum (talk) 01:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I do not agree, it can't be ruled out that intersections with certain occupations are of encyclopedic relevance. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:39, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose - the huge literature on the relation between occupation and suicide, of which the following are a tiny random selection - [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9] - demonstrates that the intersection is significant/notable and the category thus not trivial.Ingratis (talk) 11:23, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Ingratis This is a container category. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I am aware of that. Ingratis (talk) 04:10, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

- Note: The subcats were renamed from "committed" to "died by suicide" last year at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_28#Category:Ancient_people_who_committed_suicide.

- If Sucides by occupation is a relevant category than these subcategories are too. Nayyn (talk) 14:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- But Suicides by occupation isn't for diffusion purposes. It's to keep the categories where the intersection between cause of death and occupation is defining.

- Nominator's rationale: This category (under a slightly less nice name) was deleted in 2021, along with its subcategories, and recreated this year without discussion. I do not think there is anything new to overcome the 2021 consensus that this is a trivial intersection. PARAKANYAA (talk) 10:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- If this is your feeling, then why not move to nominate all of the categories in Category:Suicides by occupation ?
- If you do not consider these categories worthy then there should not be a container category for them. As there is a container category, it is natural that people who find these categories useful / meaningful will continue to create them. Nayyn (talk) 11:41, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- The category is neutral, verifiable and defining. If you are unwilling to have a conversation about Category:Suicides by occupation then it does not constitute a trivial category. Nayyn (talk) 11:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This specific intersection is also non-defining. I've bundled the nomination, @Nayyn: @PARAKANYAA:SMasonGarrison 14:40, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- If Sucides by occupation is a relevant category than these subcategories are too.
- Nayyn (talk) 14:53, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Otherstuffexists is not a good argument. You're better off demonstrating that this specific intersection is defining. Saying it's defining without explaining why isn't helpful/convincing. SMasonGarrison 16:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Putting it another way, what is the benefit to the site to removing this category? What harm does it cause to the site by existing? The discussion from 2021 considering it trivial was arbitrary and this is a living project. Nayyn (talk) 23:53, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Again -- that's not how categorization works. Non-defining categories do not facilitate navigation and make it harder to find defining categories. Do you have any affirmative arguments that support keeping this category? I can't help you if you don't familiarize yourself with how CFD works. SMasonGarrison 04:03, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

- How is it not? PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete per WP:G4, recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion. The trivial intersection issue remains. I could see it being meaningful for occupational issues with those that died from head injuries or the like, but this has no clear connection. - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as per G4. Their occupation is trivial to how they died and given consensus doesn't appear to have changed since this was last deleted, I'd back removal. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 16:51, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

- Same here @PARAKANYAA if this category is not meaningful or worthy of wikipedia, you should nominate Category:Murder victims by occupation or else these sub-categories will continue to be populated.
- Wikipedia has evolved since 2021 and if the reason to delete is simply because several years there was a conversation about it, the fact the categories are being created anew means they have utility on the site.
- Suggest for deletion the parent categories if they are not meaningful to the site. Nayyn (talk) 11:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- “This category is not “people murdered for being athletes”. I don’t think that applies to any here. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:18, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Per WP:CATDEF, if someone is murdered because of their occupation, like Patrick Dennehy, Otávio Jordão da Silva, Andrés Escobar, or Bryan Pata, then it is a unquestionably a defining intersection. For others, it is non-defining but could be included. As CATDEF says "For non-defining characteristics, editors should use their judgment to choose which additional categories (if any) to include."--User:Namiba 20:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Right now that category doesn't make the distinction for the motive -- which is why I asked if you supported narrowing the category. SMasonGarrison 21:03, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Do you want to change the name then? PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:03, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm indifferent to changing the name. I can't think of a better name but if you can, propose it. However, I think this discussion would benefit from nominating all of the murdered occupation categories and not just sportspeople.--User:Namiba 15:27, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- When I tried to do that for the suicide categories people voted keep because I wasn’t nominating them one by one! There is no winning. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:53, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- It is definitely challenging sometimes to know if a individuall evaluation makes sense versus a group nomination. Conceptually, it's when the change is the same versus unique, but editors here often honestly disagree on that point. RevelationDirect (talk) 19:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

For others, it is non-defining but could be included. As CATDEF says "For non-defining characteristics, editors should use their judgment to choose which additional categories (if any) to include."--User:Namiba 20:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete/Open to Narrower Category per WP:G4, recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion and the trivial intersection issue remains. (If a more narrow category can be created for those murdered because they are sports stars, totally open to that since it would be defining.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:19, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:NA-Class articles
- 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: Keep * Pppery * it has begun... 20:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The pages in this category and all its subcategories seem to be largely automatically and incorrectly tagged, and I doubt we need it (whether named "articles" or "pages"). Something like Talk:Lists of animated feature films is now automatically a NA-class article of high importance, when in reality it should be an unassessed class article of high importance. Something like Talk:"Bob" is automatically put into "NA-class" when it should be in "Redirect class". The whole NA-class tree seems to be a giant mistake with many tens of thousands of pages. Fram (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think this is just the result of template population weirdness. Some of the banners only populate one or the other (I think). It's not standardized. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:05, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Probably, but then these templates need updating, as they are categorizing incorrectly. Fram (talk) 08:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't disagree. @MSGJ? PARAKANYAA (talk) 10:36, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes we had some dodgy code for a few days, which should now be fixed. Talk:Lists of animated feature films is now correctly shown as a redirect, as is Talk:"Bob". If any project does not have a specific category for redirects, then it will fall back to NA-class. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:43, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

- Conceptual Support This category doesn't make sense, not sure if us deleting the category means the templates would just create redlinks, which would not be desirable. - RevelationDirect (talk) 16:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - the category is a useful fall-back for any non-articles if the more specific category does not exist. It also means that assessment tables such as User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Africa "add up" correctly. Finally I would note that these categories are already undergoing a rename from "articles" to "pages", so it would be better to let the dust settle before opening a new nomination on them — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:11, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- (From WT:COUNCIL) Keep: Some pages do not need to be classified into article classes, for example WP namespace pages, but their parent project may not use "Project" class as a valid class. In such situations, we would need a NA class to categorise them, otherwise the numbers would not add up. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 03:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: I found a talk page archive in some NA-class subcats, probably because it does not have a corresponding Page of its own. As the current talk page is categorised by project banners, shouldn't project banners be removed from talk page archives? – Fayenatic London 17:14, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, i think that can be safely removed if the root page is tagged. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:NBA Cup–winning players to Category:NBA Cup-winning players
- Nominator's rationale: Incorrect English. It should be Cup-winning. We would always use a hyphen for compound words, while an ndash is used to separate phrases. Plus even if it were separate phrases an ndash would require spaces on either side. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I created this category and understand and completely agree with you. When I created the Category:NBA championship–winning players, I named it with a hyphen (-), as you correctly stated it should be. However, I noticed that the category NBA championship–winning head coaches uses an ndash (–), which isn't rare on Wikipedia; lots of other categories that should have a hyphen in their title instead have an ndash. When I saw this, I requested to change the name of the aforementioned category for players that have won the NBA Finals to have an ndash instead of a hyphen. My reasoning was to keep consistency with two very similar categories, and also categories that have quite a few people in common given how hard it seemingly would be to win an NBA championship as both a player and a head coach (seven people are in both categories: Bill Russell, Tom Heinsohn, K.C. Jones, Bill Sharman, Steve Kerr, Phil Jackson, and Pat Riley. I knew it was punctuantionally (is that a word?...haha probably not) incorrect, but I figured there may be some kind of naming convention on Wikipedia where all category titles use en dashes regardless of if it's correct or not, even though I couldn't find one when I looked. I am all for changing the title of this category, as well as the other two categories I have mentioned and any others I can find that have an ndash but should have a hyphen. BittersweetParadox (talk) 08:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know why it didn't show up, but the categories I mentioned are "Category:NBA championship–winning players" (the category I created with a hyphen but then changed to an ndash), and "Category:NBA championship–winning head coaches" (the category I saw with an ndash and the reason I changed the one with players).

- Comment Re: the name, per MOS:SUFFIXDASH:
—Bagumba (talk) 08:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Instead of a hyphen, use an en dash when applying a prefix or suffix to a compound that itself includes a space, dash or hyphen
- Comment back @Bagumba: - what does that have to do with the price of eggs? Cup isn't a prefix and winning isn't a suffix. This is basic standard English... hyphens for compounds and ndash as a separator. This isn't "ultra–cup-winning" where that rarity could happen. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- The NBA Cup is what was won, so winning is the suffix, e.g. Category:Pulitzer Prize–winning newspapers. No comment if that's "standard English". —Bagumba (talk) 09:27, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- That is an incorrect definition of suffix. Compound words with "winning" are not suffixes. In a word like smokeless, "less" is a suffix. Sadly has the suffix "ly". This is a simple compound word with two terms, neither of which are a prefix or suffix... "cup-winning." This should be "NBA Cup-winning players" or "NBA Cup – Winning players." If I turned in a paper with this syntax to be graded at the university, or perhaps an article I wrote for ESPN, it wouldn't go well for me. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:12, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Whether or not suffix is the appropriate word (feel free to take it up at the MOS), using an ndash with winning here is consistent with the examples at MOS:SUFFIXDASH. But it's a moot point if this category ends up being deleted.—Bagumba (talk) 15:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

—Bagumba (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)However, the principle is not extended when compounding other words in category names, e.g., Category:Tennis-related lists and Category:Table tennis-related lists both use hyphens.

- Delete Come on, this is not defining. Will not show up in these players’ obituaries that’s for sure (at least at this point in the tournament’s history). I have questions if this should even make the players’ infobox. Rikster2 (talk) 23:45, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree. It doesn't seem important to fans right now because it is new, but if you watched any of the games and saw the extra effort the players put in, it's obvious it means a lot to them. It's a trophy and a real accomplishment. I know accomplishments aren't listed in soccer managers' infoboxes but they are definitely considered when evaluating a career. Just because the tournament is new does not mean it is irrelevant. BittersweetParadox (talk) 08:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I should've mentioned this but the reason I brought up the soccer managers was to make a parallel to league cups in soccer (such as the F.A. Cup, or the Carabao Cup which is probably a better comparison) being comparable to the NBA Cup. Whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins the league, but the FA cup final is one of the biggest sporting events of the year throughout Europe, if not worldwide, and has nothing to do with league standings, just like the NBA Cup. I know the popularity aspect is not true of the NBA cup right now but that is the intention of the NBA and I do think it will get to that point eventually. Like you, I don't think it is as important as the NBA finals, but I do think it's an accomplishment that should be listed since it is one of two team trophies given out in the NBA, and it carries a lot of importance with the players and coaches. BittersweetParadox (talk) 08:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- This is not at the level of league cups in soccer, not even close. If that becomes the case, the categories could easily be created then (WP:TOOSOON). What I saw was the Milwaukee Bucks players leaving their celebration Champagne untouched because they don’t see it as a real championship. Yes, they played hard for the $500k they each got for winning it. Rikster2 (talk) 14:11, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

- Because sources don't refer to it? We have a whole article on Jewish collaboration with Nazi Germany and references that discuss it. There does not appear to be that same interest and coverage for Jewish Neo-Nazis.
- The first person I checked was only alleged to be Jewish and denied it himself, alongside others proclaiming he was 'Aryan' (and thus not a Jew). The other one was once again, an allegation sourced to Newsweek.
