How many members does it lack? Keep; part of well-defined, highly-structured categorization scheme. Deletion will break parallelism between neighboring branches of the category tree and reduce ease of navigation. Jweiss11 (talk) 22:29, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bisexual politicians by nationality

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 22:36, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, trivial intersection, per WP:EGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. These intersections are helpful for diffusion of the larger category, and various LGBT identities are not treated the same, for example being a transgender politician in the united states is treated very differently than being a lesbian or bi politician. Mason (talk) 20:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If not kept, then each category should also be merged to the respective identity category, eg. Australian non-binary politicians‎ should be merged to Category:Australian non-binary people‎ Mason (talk) 20:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Place Clichy (talk) 20:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:31, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The issue here is that in a good many of these countries, the "LGBT politicians" parent is already too large, and in need of diffusion on size grounds. For instance, the American categories here alone, if upmerged back to their Category:American LGBT politicians parent, would push that category to over 700 people, making it very much too large and in need of diffusion on size grounds.
    The nomination has also failed to account for the fact that each category would also need to be upmerged to the appropriate Category:Gay politicians, Category:Lesbian politicians, Category:Bisexual politicians, Category:Transgender politicians or Category:Non-binary politicians parent, thus also making them too large and in need of diffusion on size grounds. For instance, killing off all of the "gay" subcategories above, and upmerging everybody back to Category:Gay politicians, gets that category exploded to 965 people — making it very much too large and in need of diffusion.
    The standard practice has always been that we start with one core "LGBT" category as a base — but then once that one merged core category becomes large enough that diffusion is needed, then it can be quartered up into separate gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender subcategories. Each one of those does not need to separately reprove its own individual "definingness" separately from the definingness of LGBT as a whole — each of them is merely a passenger in the LGBT car, not its own car that needs its own separate definingness test above and beyond the definingness of the LGBT parent. We have to take into account the size of a merged "LGBT" category as well — if one of those becomes large enough that diffusion is necessary, then splitting it up into separate "gay", "lesbian", "bisexual", "transgender" and or "non-binary" categories is automatically fair game, because the size of merged parent categories is also an issue that we have to account for. Bearcat (talk) 22:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose convinced by the arguments the parent categories are already too large. SportingFlyer T·C 09:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep When I read through this nomination, I originally supported the merger but Bearcat makes some very valid points. A generic LGBT category can easily get too large to be useful. I think the focus should be on whether or not the categories are logically structured to be useful for readers rather than feelings about sexual orientation/identity. To be blunt, no one has brought up this point but me but it seems like these categories on sexual identity or sexual orientation seem to get nominated for deletion a lot. I'm more concerned about miscategorization (I'm thinking about Category:Ancient LGBT people) than whether or not categories should be merged. I've found articles where individual subjects have been categorized as LGBT when that aspect of life has never been mentioned at all in the article. But that's another matter than this nomination.

The result of the discussion was: reverse merge. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Two categories which serve the same purpose except that they use different terms (also WP:OVERLAP). Merge the new one with the older one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I think we should leave a redirect. Mason (talk) 12:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:20, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer, definitely agree. My plan actually was that we should merge this as is because the target category is the older of the two (someone told me a while back that the older category's history should be preserved if possible) and then speedy rename it to "Women sports commentators".

Nominator's rationale: Almost none of the articles here are actually codenames, just characters with false identities. An alternative might be moving it to Category:Fictional pseudonymous characters and reparenting it to Category:Pseudonyms, but I'm unsure if that's defining.
