Category:Italic warfare

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 the Italics, merge Category:Wars involving the Samnites. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:18, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Completely useless Italic languages-family-based WP:ARBITRARY WP:CROSSCATs that nobody needs for navigation. So what if the Romans, Samnites and Sabines spoke linguistically related languages? How did that affect their battle tactics, their strategic thinking, their unit formations etc.? It didn't.

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:22, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-notable intersections by ethnicity per WP:OCEGRS; emphasis on earlier LaundryPizza03 explanation (here) that WP:NARROWCAT applies regardless. We don't categorize people by occupation of a Foo country by ethnicity, religion, etc.
It concerns WP:CATDEF; WP:NONDEFINING, WP:ETHNICRACECAT refers to WP:COP (WP:COP#N/WP:COPHERITAGE);
As a sidenote, many, if not all, articles lack references to prove the claim laid in the category; it's all doing of one and the same editor with a knack for creating distinct categories based on ethnicity. Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_21#Category:Croat_sportspeople_from_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina for additional information. ౪ Santa ౪99° 07:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment.@Marcocapelle:; @Nederlandse Leeuw:, before someone plunges into sea of blp's and bio's for checking which should or should not be up/manually merged, following could info be useful for anyone considering exactly that. The thing with these Croat of foo-occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is that they are doing of one editor with a knack for creating these "ethnicized categories", so to speak, under Bosnia and Herzegovina for the sole purpose of separating blp's/bio's based on one ethnic identity, and that all Croat foo-occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina cats are recently created over a period of just day or two. However, and here I was almost compelled writing "needles to say....", most if not all of the blp/bio articles categorized with these nominated for deletion categories were/are already properly categorized in either Croatian foo-occupation, Bosnia and Herzegovina foo-occupation, or in some cases both. In other words, it is fairly reasonable and safe to assume that no need for up/manual merge actually exist at all. If some of the bio articles had not been categorized as either Croatian foo-occupation or Bosnia and Herzegovina foo-occupation it's either a fluke and/or it is because there is no sources-based discussion in them mentioning blp's/bio's adherence to one or the other country.in the first place.--౪ Santa ౪99° 23:24, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
