Category:People who died in Auschwitz concentration camp
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:do not rename. Good Ol’factory(talk) 00:46, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The verb "died" suggests it just sort of happened, rather than it being intentional. "Murdered" is more accurate because the Holocaust was a giant program of premedidated, state-sponsored, industrialized murder. Whether directly with bullets, or indirectly with starvation and disease, the deaths in Auschwitz were deliberate and forseeable, and are considered premeditated murder. The category name should reflect this. Ich(talk) 16:21, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would absolutely support renaming that tree too. The category name, on its face, would encompass a commandant who died of a heart attack at his desk. I surmise that is not the intent of the category.-Ich(talk) 14:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would not oppose (i.e. I would be neutral) if the whole tree would be nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:12, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Marcocapelle, and also because "murdered" suggests a dynamic action, rather than leaving people to die of disease or malnutrition by neglect - which was a cause of death for a considerable proportion of those dying in concentration camps. Grutness...wha? 00:26, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Someone who knowingly locks a human in a room for a week without food or water, in a manner that foreseeably resulted in death, still has committed murder and is prosecuted accordingly. The camps were designed with the deliberate intent of killing their inmates through labor, starvation and disease, as well as with gas, guns, or putting them through psychological torture to the point where they are driven to suicide by throwing themselves against the electric fence. The malice aforethought distinguishes it from manslaughter.-Ich(talk) 14:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OpposeMurder is variously defined by lgal systems around the world. In this case, which legal system defined these deaths as murders? If none, we are entering OR territory. Dimadick (talk) 13:02, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The German government treats the deaths at Auschwitz and other concentration camps as murder. It has charged former camp personnel with murder and accessory to murder. For example, John Demjanjuk, who was convicted with accessory to 28,000 murders at Treblinka, and Oskar Gröning was convicted as an accessory to the murder of 300,000 people at Auschwitz.-Ich(talk) 14:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, refering also to Oculi' comment. --Just N. (talk) 15:13, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- The target would be a valid category, but deaths from overwork and starvation would be manslaughter, not murder. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:31, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletingCategory:Played in the 2015 6 Nations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category is poorly titled for a start, and it only seems to include Scottish players. There are no other such categories for other seasons of the Six Nations Championship, nor should there be. It's not like the Rugby World Cup or a Lions tour, it happens every year. – PeeJay 13:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unnecessary category, there's no need to categorise to a tournament that's played every year. A category of Six Nations Championship players is fine but not one for each individual tournament. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:08, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh, I'd struggle even with a category for the Six Nations as a whole, given that most Northern Hemisphere international players will have played in the tournament at some point. – PeeJay 10:58, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This class of ship didn't really exist. These were just 5–6 Fletcher-class destroyers transferred to the Turkish Navy. Every ship that was listed in this class was just a redirect to the US Fletcher-class ship, and the eponymous page İstanbul-class destroyer was just a redirect to Fletcher-class destroyer, which doesn't mention a "İstanbul" class at all. sbb (talk) 08:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Companions of the Star of Melanesia
We don't have a main article on the Star of Melanesia but Papua New Guinea honours system#Star of Melanesia described it as as a Long Service Medal for 15 years of service. It must also be issued a diplomatic souvenir because two British royals and the Prime Minister of Fiji also received it. The 4 articles with people defined by Papua New Guinea (1, 2, 3, 4) are evenly split between those that mention the award in passing and those that don't mention it at all. I expanded the exisint list so all the category contents are now listified right here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:35, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Nansen medal for Outstanding Research
The Fridtjof Nansen Prize for Outstanding Research is a Norwegian research award founded in 1896. It's well respected but not especially defining to recipients who are already very well respected so there's no Wikipedia category. Starting in 2003, all Fridtjof Nansen Prize are automatically awarded a "Nansen Medal for Outstanding Research" as part of the same award. (All living prior winners were also retroactively given the medal.) There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article although we may eventually want to merge the articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:35, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
