  • I must have been mixing this up with another cat, because I was certain that a bunch of people had been placed into this category. As it stands right now, there's only the three subcats. --Randykitty (talk) 17:30, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus, please renominate separately. MER-C 03:00, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
many similar categories ...
@Oculi: that's the thing. The deletes of those categories are not upmerges, because those listed in the categories (e.g. Playboy) don't have roles that fit in the other categories. They're pretty much just general staff, e.g. Brian Karem. Some exceptions might exist though. Also I'm pretty much done changing the above lists. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:22, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Do you intend, for example, to remove Category:Playboy cartoonists from Category:Playboy? DexDor (talk) 19:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting Category:Magazine people just doesn't work. Oculi (talk) 19:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Oculi: Category:Magazine people by role‎ and Category:Comics people‎ would be the only subcats of that category left and Arthur Lavine is neither. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:29, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
So put that one in Category:Playboy and let's be done with it. That doesn't justify the existence of Category:Playboy people. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:33, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's just one of many such examples. If a (partial) upmerge is needed then that should be made clear (e.g. in the nomination). DexDor (talk) 06:36, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Alumni and people are synonymous here. They're just people that wrote in those publications. Some were EiCs, which might warrants its own category, but it s not this one. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There was an RfC, to which I linked above, that decided otherwise for purposes of categorization. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:55, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Editors can have their own categories if it's particularly relevant (e.g. Category:The New Yorker editors), but those (e.g. Category:The New Yorker people) are not these categories. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:56, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Having written an op-ed for The Weekly Standard at some point in your life is not a defining thing. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:21, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment make each of one of them a container category with subcategories modeled after Category:Magazine people by role. Rationale: being an editor of magazine X is a defining personal characteristic; maybe also being a regular staff writer and illustrator? fgnievinski (talk) 02:27, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. all .Consider nominating some. I don't want to specify which , because they're in very different fields and very different importance. For any major magazine with a long life, a category for editors is appropriate, and possibly these should be renamed and limited accordingly -- these cateogries arecertainly defining. For contributors, in some cases, perhaps, especially for politically important publications. It ideally should be limited to important contributors, though I do not know how that could be defined. But I think having written for the Weekly Standard, for example, is very much a defiing category, in view of its particular organization, tho there's a problem with some that have changed politics over the years, like the Nation . But this will have to be discussedcateogry by category. DGG ( talk ) 20:03, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all non defining for any of the subjects so categorised. --K.e.coffman (talk) 02:19, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all is someone wants to create a "Managing editors of XXX" category for a periodical to contain those whose notability is defined by being a managing editor of XXX, that'd be appropriate. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm in the process of leaving Wikipedia, but I've been feeling worried about this discussion and I want to tie up a loose end before this discussion ends. I agree, in part, that just being a person who was associated in some way with a publication is not inherently defining. But in addition to being an editor, discussed already, there are multiple other ways in which being a "person" of a publication can indeed be defining. A long-time featured columnist, a long-time reporter whose reports are associated in memory with the publication, someone who created covers, photos, illustrations, or cartoons that have acquired iconic status in relation to a publication. These and more are unquestionably defining. I realize, of course, that one can split these up into multiple subcategories, but that complexity may not always be the best course of action. Therefore, while it may be possible that some of the nominated categories should just be deleted, there are likely to be numerous others where it is appropriate only to go through each of them and purge those entries that are non-defining. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:41, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 02:54, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category should be revisited/deleted because it is misleading, i.e. not just Slovenian ethnics live in today's Slovenia. Btw. the category also includes Carinthia, Styria among other's, that have as weell not been solely ethnic Slovenian territories neither today, nor in the past (but as well Austrian, german, Italian, etc.).....

[edit]
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. MER-C 02:54, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: containing only one entry, being as well even dubious, since the entity along with today's Poland is not, was not or has not always been a Polish territory or country, or Polish speaking territory, but German, Lithuanian, etc., then all similar names with categories could be put under every country, which formely shared an aboriginal part of the country before the massive border changes in the past century, even having large ethnic population still. KIENGIR (talk) 13:31, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Catholic missionaries in the Balkans. MER-C 03:02, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Very narrow category may not be defining. Wrongfully applied to members of the Congregation Propaganda Fide (propaganda in Latin does not mean the same thing as the English coinage.) Elizium23 (talk) 13:14, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MER-C 03:04, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Copy of talk page message
The removal proposal is very trendy

I have nothing to do with Catholicism, unlike the proponent of deleting the category. The category follows the factual about personalities. Angel Angel 2 (talk) 13:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
