:'''Nominator's rationale:''' The [[:Sankethi people]] are a subcaste of Brahmins. We do not categorise people by caste and this serves no purpose. [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 21:48, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
* '''Keep''' and undo depopulation. Sankethi people are a community with their own language, culture and traditions. It is no different to having a category of [[:Category:Flemish people|Flemish people]], [[:Category:Cornish people|Cornish people]] or [[:Category:Tulu people|Tulu people]]. When sources discuss notable people who identify with this community, they mention that person is Sankethi, which shows that the sources disagree that it serves no purpose (e.g. [https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/rk-srikantan-passes-away/article5699784.ece R. K. Srikantan's obituary in ''The Hindu'']). The article does not support the claim that the Sankethi are a caste, and even if they are, that does not warrant the depopulation of the category (which has already happened) and its deletion. --[[User:Joshua Issac|Joshua Issac]] ([[User talk:Joshua Issac|talk]]) 13:00, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
:*Even they say they are a caste - see, for example, [https://www.sankethi.org/Culture/History/SankethiSaga.html this] and [https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/sankethis-%25C3%25A2%25E2%2582%25AC%25E2%2580%259C-sanskrit-speaking-community-blends-tradition-modernity this], while [https://www.brahminmatrimony.com/brahmin-sankethi-matrimonial this] and [http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/1703/7/07_chapter%202.pdf p 6 of this] are certainly indicators. [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GAS8TN50bJcC&lpg=PP1&dq=sankethi%20caste&pg=PA180#v=onepage&q=sankethi&f=false This] notes that they had (may still have) a caste (jati) association. [[M. S. A. Rao]] considered them to be a caste (offline source) and [https://www.news18.com/news/india/karnataka-brahmins-sacrifice-sheep-drink-country-liquor-at-yajna-1238604.html this] refers to them as a Brahmin subgroup. Loads of Indian castes and tribes have "their own language, culture and traditions" (the Gondi, for example). In some senses, that is what defines them. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 06:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
:*{{u|Joshua Isaac}}, I meant it serves no purpose in its depopulated state. [[User:Sitush/Common#CasteCats]] gives some indication of the consensus regarding such categorisation.

::* Brahmins are a caste, but Sankethis are an ethnolinguistic group. The CfD that your user subpage links to specifically addresses this distinction and says that the decision not to categorise by caste does not extend to ethnolinguistic groups. --[[User:Joshua Issac|Joshua Issac]] ([[User talk:Joshua Issac|talk]]) 11:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
:::* It is described as a caste all over the place, as my very random and not-all-reliable selection above indicates. Are you thinking that there are only 4 castes, ie: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra, with everyone else being outside? That is not how this longstanding consensus works and there have been plenty of Brahmin-related categories of this type deleted in the past even before I took an interest. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 13:49, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
::::* Almost any ethnic/socio-economic group can be considered a caste in India, and anyone can start a culural association, but the Castcats link you posted above shows that we draw the line at ethnolinguistic groups. --[[User:Joshua Issac|Joshua Issac]] ([[User talk:Joshua Issac|talk]]) 22:41, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::*I am not getting drawn any further into the definition of caste. I refer you again to the obvious: sources, including academic ones such as the sociologists Rao, refer to them as one. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 03:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' people by caste is not appropriate. [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]] ([[User talk:Carlossuarez46|talk]]) 17:49, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
* '''Comment''', the existance of the [[Sankethi dialect]] may be a justification for treating this as an ethno-linguistic group. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 15:17, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
:*There are over 700 government-recognised dialects and languages in India. We should treat this community as most sources treat them, which is as a caste. As soon as the word "Brahmin" appears in an article, the assumption is that they are a caste and pretty much every Brahmin community does in fact append ''Brahmin'' to their name, which is not what happens for, say, [[:Shudra]] communities. Brahmins are high-status and like to show it; Shudras are low-status and prefer not to mention it. We would likely end up in a situation where Brahmin people can be categorised but none of the other communities generally considered to be castes would get the same treatment, which would pour fuel on the "them and us" fire.

::As far as I am aware, most Brahmins also speak the common local language (Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu etc) and many are familiar with Sanskrit because of their historic role as priests. If we go down the road of making an exception to the "do not categorise by caste" consensus here then I suspect it will open the floodgates for yet more anti-Brahmin POV pushers in what is already a highly disrupted topic area that is subject to ArbCom sanctions etc. And they would have a point. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 16:57, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

:::It has been established in the [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 August 10#Category:Rajput people|CfD you link from your user subpage]] that there is no precedent to delete ethnolinguistic categories, so we do not need to create any new exemptions. All the categories that have been deleted under the precedent have been non-ethnolinguistic groups like [[:Category:Nair people]] and [[:Category:Goud people]], whereas [[:Category:Marwari people]] was specifically noted to be outside this (despite the group being described as a caste by sources like Surjit Mansingh and Stanley Kochanek).

:::You seem to be saying that Brahmins use the local language and have knowledge of Sanskrit, and this makes ethnolinguistic categories problematic, but I do not understand your reasoning. That most Brahmins speak the common local language shows that there is little room for abuse of ethnolinguistic categories.

:::The first part about Brahmin and Shudra people and their names is not really relevant to this discussion because no-one is suggesting making indiscriminate caste lists against existing consensus. I have also never come across anyone who appends ''Brahmin'' to their name, but I am not sure how that could be relevant either way. --[[User:Joshua Issac|Joshua Issac]] ([[User talk:Joshua Issac|talk]]) 22:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

I however noticed that this was at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 October 29#Category:People from Shadwell, West Yorkshire]] so can't use C2D. Per [[WP:UKPLACE]] Shadwell isn't unquestionably within the settlement of [[Leeds]], even though it might sometimes be though of as being part of it. The article was renamed back in 2009 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)&oldid=311771222 before] the exception was even included about using city/town to disambiguate when unquestionably within it.

:'''Nominator's rationale: merge''' as a pointless set of container categories. At least until the year 1500 the histories of countries like Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines were unconnected. For this period we do not have any articles ''across'' the different civilizations of Southeast Asia. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 07:49, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
:'''Strong Keep and beg to differover details''' - from where I understand the history of the region there are very specific connections between southeast asian countries in the region for a millenia before 1500 - and also subsuming into the asia project was why these were created in the first place - it is hard to identify the very specific inter-country dynasties and former countries that reflect none of the current boundaries.  I would be very reluctant to accept ''until the year 1500 the histories were unconnected'' unless shown a heap of WP:RS that can completely undo almost all the information gained in the years of my honours degree in asian studies, unless I have mis-read something here in some way, in which case there are quite a few former countries that have been inadequately categorised by the editors who created them. Also, from the perspective of south east asian subjects to subsume back into generic larger categories is actually more counter productive than keeping, imho [[User:JarrahTree|JarrahTree]] 08:08, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
* (1) I would be delighted to hear about the pre-colonial relations between for example the contemporary [[Bali Kingdom]], [[Rajahnate of Butuan]] and [[Sukhothai Kingdom]], since there is no information whatsoever about it in the respective articles. (2) ''It is hard to identify the very specific inter-country dynasties and former countries that reflect none of the current boundaries.''

:* '''Propose containerization''' {{Lc|Cultural depictions of people}}<br />
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Category which needs a purge due to extreme misuse. While it's valid in principle as a container for the subcategories that it contains, and the usage note states that "This category is for '''categories''' and '''lists''' of cultural and other works (including film, TV and literature) that feature depictions of people", the problem here is that it's often directly applied to random individual films and television series and characters — but virtually every single film or television series or play or novel that exists ''at all'', and every single character within any of them, is ''by definition'' a "cultural depiction of people", making this an [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]] category. (For example, ''[[The Nanny]]'' and ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'' and ''[[Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23]]'', which have been filed here, are ''not'' somehow ''more'' defined by being "cultural depictions of people" than, say, ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' or ''[[Kim's Convenience (TV series)|Kim's Convenience]]'' or ''[[The West Wing]]'', which have not.) And further to that, I've also already caught at least one example of a ''real person'' being filed here, on the trivial basis that somebody once played him in a film — but since a ''lot'' of notable people have been portrayed on film, filing real people here on that basis is also a recipe for extreme indiscriminacy. This is not a good basis for a ''content'' category, because it doesn't represent a point of distinction between the things that have been filed here and similar things that haven't — it's a valid parent for the subcategories, but it should not contain a random and arbitrary selection of individual works or characters. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 16:44, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
::An awful lot of the problems would be solved by renaming to [[:Category:Cultural depictions of real individual people]]. I don't see a problem with say [[Rubens (film)]] being in a subcat, but clearly dramas about fictional characters don't belong, nor social/anthropological documentaries etc etc. Plus a clearer category note, & repeating for the subcats. Is [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_January_9#Cultural_depictions|this old discussion]] partly to blame?  The current category note is certainly part of the problem: 
{{category explanation|categories and lists of cultural and other works (including film, TV and literature) that feature depictions of people}}

:'''Nominator's rationale:''' '''rename''' since the large amount of this category consists of cities with Lübeck law rather than articles about [[Lübeck law]] itself.

:* In that case, the remaining [[:Category:Lübeck law]] would only contain the eponymous article and the subcategory (because the two other topic articles should be moved up anyway).

* Agree with nominator that these are obscure categories. However [[:Category:Observances on non-Gregorian calendars]] is undesirable as a merge target, since this is largely a container category. I would not mind merging them to [[:Category:January observances]] though, and so on for the other 11 months.

*'''Comment (probably support)''' -- This whole tree seems like a load of nonsense to me.  We have a mixture of different feasts whose date is determined by lunar and other calendars.  Chinese and Tibetan New Year will depend on a lunar calendar.  American [[Mother's Day]] is always in May, so why is it in this tree at all?  The Anglican [[Mothering Sunday]] usually falls in March, but its date is determined by that of Easter.  The merge target is probably going to be rather large, so that it may be useful to split it based on the specific calendar or event from which the date is determined, e.g. [[:Category:Observances whose date is related to Easter]].  [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 15:33, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

*'''leaning delete''' What I see is that this is a way to try to assign the various holidays to approximate time of years, e.g. [[:Category:Shavuot]] sits in both May and June.
