NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Statistical analysis

Propose merging Category:Statistical analysis to Category:Statistical methods

Nominator's rationale: undefined scope fgnievinski (talk) 15:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Questions~~ Oppose, why shouldn't it also be merged to its other parent Category:Data analysis? And, doesn't Structured data analysis (statistics) define the scope? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Video games with custom soundtrack support

Propose deleting Category:Video games with custom soundtrack support (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This is a non-"defining" trait. A spot check of articles in the category had none even mentioning a custom soundtrack feature, nevertheless as a defining trait of the release. czar 00:57, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buildings and structures on the Hanover-Würzburg high-speed rail line

Propose renaming Category:Buildings and structures on the Hanover-Würzburg high-speed rail line to Category:Hanover–Würzburg high-speed rail line

Nominator's rationale: Per MOS:DASH – Daybeers (talk) 00:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No objection against rename but this category can also be deleted per WP:NARROWCAT and WP:SMALLCAT. These buildings and structures are already or should be linked to in the main article. No other German HSL has its own category.Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gaelic-language magazines

Propose renaming Category:Gaelic-language magazines to Category:Scottish Gaelic magazines

Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination to match e.g. Category:Scottish Gaelic literature, after inconclusive discussion on Speedy page. – Fayenatic London 11:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of Speedy discussion

Category:Gaelic-language magazines to Category:Scottish Gaelic magazines – C2C: All three category members were in Scottish Gaelic language; matches existing supercategories such as Category:Scottish Gaelic literature. Zerach (talk) 00:37, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This would be inconsistent with the Foo-language magazines convention of Category:Magazines by language. Assuming "Scottish Gaelic" is appropriate, should this be Category:Scottish Gaelic-language magazines? -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 05:19, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Black Falcon: I don't believe so. In most of those cases it's needed to resolve ambiguity—does "Portuguese magazines" mean magazines in the Portuguese language or Portuguese nationality of the writers, or based in Portugal? "Scottish Gaelic" refers exclusively to the language, so there's no ambiguity, and "Scottish Gaelic-language" is just redundant. Zerach (talk) 06:56, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note also the existence of Category:Esperanto magazines. So, "-language" appears to be for disambiguation only. —C.Fred (talk) 16:29, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
