Category:Women who have been crowned king

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: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Of the articles in this category, only Jadwiga of Poland was actually crowned as king. The other 5 were Queens regnant, and are already in Category:Queens regnant or its subcats.
The label used in Jadwiga's coronation is an interesting, but for all practical purposes Jadwiga was a Queen regnant, and should be categorised as such. Per WP:CAT, en.wp categories are about navigation ... and this single-item category impedes navigation. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:47, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Jadwiga's case is certainly an interesting one, and deserving of a note in King (which I have added). Mary, Queen of Hungary was also crowned as a king. It's hardly worth a category of two that will likely never be enlargeable though. Grutness...wha? 00:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge -- I suspect that something has been lost in translation regarding Jadwiga, but I do not know Polish. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:32, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. The distinction between a queen regnant and a "woman who has been crowned king" hinges less on any defining difference of substance and more on a deficiency of language or translation. It's true that there may have been some sources in the past which called a woman "king" because the language or legal and constitutional conventions of their time didn't allow the concept of a queen being the monarch in her own right rather than the mere spouse or consort of a male monarch, but in actual practice the only substantive distinction between a queen regnant and a female "king" is in the word used, not in what the roles actually entail. Even Jadwiga's article explicitly states that she was given the title king in order to emphasize that she was a queen regnant rather than a queen consort, because she was engaged to be married and people might thus have mistakenly perceived her husband as the real monarch instead of her — so even she doesn't prove the existence of a distinction between queens regnant and female kings.

The result of the discussion was: upmerge template and delete category (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:01, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Put together, there's nearly enough articles to justify one stub category for inline hockey teams. Propose upmerging template {{US-inlinehockey-team-stub}} to Category:Inline hockey team stubs. Delete Category:American inline hockey team stubs. Dawynn (talk) 13:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Educational leadership

The result of the discussion was: purge biographies and merge the remainder to Category:Educational administration. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: the contents of this category are a jumble of:
  • people who had various diverse roles academic administrators or founders
  • some articles around the topic of educational leadership
  • a hall of fame
  • etc
I don't see a clear distinction between the concepts of educational administration, educational management and educational leadership. The choice of terminology seems more driven by changes in fashion than by any substantive difference in the activities involved.
So I suggest purging the biogs, and merge the rest. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
