Category:20th-century deputy heads of government of Liechtenstein has been nominated for splitting

Category:20th-century deputy heads of government of Liechtenstein has been nominated for splitting. A discussion is taking place to decide whether it complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. SMasonGarrison 00:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Please review what defining categories mean. You seem to have eagerly overcategorized Category:20th-century Liechtenstein people in the 19th-century when they're not defined in the 19th-century. For example, Franz Xaver Hoop was born in 1886, buy he shouldn't be added to Category:19th-century Liechtenstein people, because he wasn't defined by being active in the 19th-century. SMasonGarrison 00:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @TheBritinator I recommend reviewing Wikipedia:Categorizing articles about people. It will help you avoid basic misclassifications like the ones I described, and it should assist you in crafting more compelling arguments at CFD. SMasonGarrison 00:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Understood, but please do not bring up active discussions onto my talk page. TheBritinator (talk) 00:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I wasn't planning on it. That would make the CFD much harder to follow. SMasonGarrison 00:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Understood, but please do not bring up active discussions onto my talk page. TheBritinator (talk) 00:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I don't understand what you mean by "defined by being active in the 19th-century". I added that category because they were people who lived in Liechtenstein in the 19th-century. That's the way I interpreted it. TheBritinator (talk) 00:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- You may have interpreted it that way, but that's not how categorization works. These people were not notable in the 19th century, nor were they notable for being from the 19th-century. Wikipedia:Categorizing articles about people SMasonGarrison 00:43, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Franz Xaver Hoop isn't notable for being a 19th-century Liechtensteinian, even though he was alive in the 19th-century century. He was notable for being a 20th-century politician. SMasonGarrison 00:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- So why did you remove most of the categories from Category:Hans Brunhart, for example? Neither of the policies you linked would suggest that to be the case. Take Category:20th-century presidents of the United States for example, this is what I based my work on when doing the heads of government. TheBritinator (talk) 01:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Category:Hans Brunhart is an eponymous category. I recommend looking at Wikipedia:EPONCAT for policy guidance. An eponymous category should have only the categories of its article that are relevant to the category's content. I was likely a tad overzealous, but Recipients of the Order of Merit of the Principality of Liechtenstein doesn't apply to the vast majority of the contents, particularly, Premiership of Hans Brunhart. SMasonGarrison 01:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- So how is it different from Category:Theodore Roosevelt, for example? Why does that include these categories, but this shouldn't? TheBritinator (talk) 01:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Well, it looks like an IP added some extra categories. Let me fix that. SMasonGarrison 01:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I noticed you just added heads of government back to them but that doesn't answer my question. Category:Presidents of the United States specifically has a the individual articles in that category, but then the centuries one has both the indvidual article and their respective category. That's what I based mine on. It has been this way since 2018. TheBritinator (talk) 01:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- You didn't ask me about the individual articles, you asked me about the category. SMasonGarrison 02:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I used Hans Brunhart and Theodore Roosevelt as examples. TheBritinator (talk) 02:05, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, but my point is that you didn't ask me about the articles; you asked me about the eponymous category. The guidance is different. Circling back, yes I added the heads of gov parent category back while I was in the process of making an eponymous category for the heads of state -- Category:Wikipedia categories named after heads of government of Liechtenstein.SMasonGarrison 02:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but that still doesn't answer my question. From what I've gathered it would be appropriate to add back 21st/20th heads of government back to the respective personal category. I have given you what I was basing my work off. TheBritinator (talk) 02:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, so the categories applied to eponymous categories, as a rule of thumb, are ones that would apply to the contents within the category as well. So for the Hans Brunhart category, I don't think that the 21st/20th heads of government category would apply because the contents of Hans Brunhart also includes :Category:Premiership of Hans Brunhart. SMasonGarrison 04:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Liechtenstein elections template
Rather than adding a link every time you create a new article on the local elections, wouldn't it be easier to add all the local elections in one go? There's no issue with having redlinks on templates like this. Might save a bit of work. Great effort (as always) on creating the articles though! Cheers, Number 57 00:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. I thought about that but I'm making these articles on a source-by-source basis. As I'm sure you've seen the sourcing is quite weak so I'm unsure as to how far back I'm going to be able to take it. Bassicly, I am just adding them as I go, though you make a good point.

ITN recognition for 2025 Liechtenstein general election

Clearing up your bad faith accusation
For clarity, I do not think that a Liechtenstein election falls under NOTNEWS, nor would I ever make that claim. In fact, I am an inclusionist editor who broadly supports letting more things on to ITN and letting more articles continue to exist on the encyclopedia as opposed to deleting them over notability concerns... so, my view is the precise opposite of the position you have accused me of holding in bad faith. Rather, I was using the most recent thing we had posted to ITN as an example to illustrate that the standard proposed my Masem is, in my opinion, too onerous and a misinterpretation of the NOTNEWS policy. This is because the very high bar "enduring notability" threshold, if applied consistently, would need to capture both smaller-scale elections as well as mass-casualty accidents. Nowhere at all in that rationale is a statement that Liechtenstein should not be on Wikipedia or that those articles don't deserve to be here. In the future, there is need to jump to public accusations against others so quickly. Thanks, FlipandFlopped ツ 05:56, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for reaching out. Admittedly, I am now more confused on what you are trying to say. I interpreted this as you saying that elections in smaller elections, such as Liechtenstein, should not be put on ITN due to them not being as notable as say other countries. I do apologise for my response being rather brash, but it rubbed me the wrong way. If this is not what you meant then it would be great to clear this up.
- Also, your point about Haas was not relevant, as putting a suitable image for the newest blurb on ITN is standard practice. Thanks. TheBritinator (talk) 06:17, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Happy to clarify. I said,
- "I would argue that a sizeable chunk of even our ITNR items, such as the recent Liechtenstein elections as one example among many, do not come anywhere close to meeting the overly high bar of enduring notability which you describe."
- When you read the full thread in context, it's clear I was using the Liechtenstein election article as an example - to demonstrate my view that Masem's proposed interpretation of WP:NOTNEWS is too restrictive. I never suggested that the article you worked on should not exist or is not notable.
- To your second and unrelated point, I had a genuine quality concern about the choice of image used. I can see you've improved the article now though, so I am happy to go adjust my comment... that's all I was asking for. And no, we do not always accompany the newest blurb with an image (for example, not all of the blurbs below the current top blurb had a corresponding image). We regularly discuss whether an image is appropriate depending on the context, and that can include corresponding discussions about quality of the image/article. Expressing those concerns is the point of having ITN discussions.
- With the utmost respect, you bringing this up now despite these two things being somewhat unrelated sort of makes it seem like you are accusing me of bad faith in another unrelated discussion out of anger or retaliation that I expressed a quality concern about articles which you worked on (Haas/2025 Liechtenstein Election). I have no issue with you or with your articles, there is no need for bludgeoning and going on the attack across other threads. FlipandFlopped ツ 06:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Again, I apologise for being brash, but I can assure you that there is no bludgeoning going on here. I understand why you brought up quality concerns regarding the Haas article, but your point was still not relevant to the nomination. As I and other editors pointed out, there is no quality requirement for non-bolded articles, and using suitable images for new ITN items is standard practice. Concerns for the image quality are fine to be brought up, but that has no relevance as to the article itself. TheBritinator (talk) 06:56, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Liechtenstein
Hi TheBritinator. I've seen you write good articles about Liechtenstein topics in the past. I was wondering if you could take a look at Louis Frommelt and Remo Sele, two Liechtenstein Olympians who were proposed for deletion, and see if you can find any coverage of them. Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:36, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your consideration. From a quick search I was able to find passing mentions of Remo Sele in newspapers over the years from points of his career. Not sure if that would meet SIGCOV, however. TheBritinator (talk) 19:07, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
Free play moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Free play. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it consists of machine-generated text and clearly NOT ready for main space. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Theroadislong (talk) 18:43, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- This isn't my article. Other than my initial review months ago, I'm not sure why I'm being messaged about this. TheBritinator (talk) 22:23, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
