Category:Disestablishments in the United States by territory
[edit]
- Nominator’s rationale: Upmerge redundant layer. Mclay1 (talk) 07:14, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Category:Allied health in the United Kingdom
[edit]
- Nominator’s rationale: There’s no need to isolate whether it’s allied health or “medicine” SMasonGarrison 20:13, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hiya, my rational for this category was that healthcare in the UK is quite strongly organised along professional lines (medicine, nursing, allied health etc etc), making these categories WP:CATDEF. Whether a role, institution, qualification etc. falls into one of these categories is one of the defining bits used to describe it, hence why we have categories for medicine, nursing, midwifery etc etc, just thought that allied health seemed a bit of a gap. Dan :] (talk) 22:27, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – Allied health is a thing so I’m not sure why this category is a problem. I don’t know how it’s defined in the UK, but in Australia, allied health refers to health practices that are different from medicine (e.g. occupational therapy) but are proper health services (as opposed to pseudoscientific “alternative medicines”). Mclay1 (talk) 07:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator’s rationale: rename, this is a topic category rather than a biographical category. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:28, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
Category:Andhra Pradesh MLAs 1957–1962
[edit]
- Nominator’s rationale: The 1957 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly was product of two elections, the 1955 Andhra State Legislative Assembly election and the 1957 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. The 1957 election was only held in the constituencies previously part of the Hyderabad State, whilst for the other constituencies (the constituencies previously part of Madras State, that constituted the Andhra State, maintained the legislators elected in 1955 until 1962). Soman (talk) 14:22, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Alternatively, Category:Andhra State MLAs 1955–1957 can be created as a redirect to Category:Andhra Pradesh MLAs 1957–1962 (or its subcategory if more than one of the relevant MLA articles are created). Andhra Pradesh (1956–2014) (and therefore its Legislative Assembly) did not exist in 1955, which would make Category:Andhra Pradesh MLAs 1955–1962 a misnomer and lead to confusion. –MPGuy2824 (talk) 14:52, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
Kuşadası District
[edit]
- Nominator’s rationale: Kuşadası and Nazilli are both municipalities and districts of Turkey. I’ve decided to list any subsequent renaming here for further consensus – OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 23:54, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
Category:United States prison case law
[edit]
- Nominator’s rationale: Yes, it’s a mouthful compared to the current title. However, this case law applies to both prisons and jails after someone has been convicted of a crime. (The difference is that prisons only hold people sentenced for 365 days or more.) The fact that these cases are typically considered in connection to prisons is not actually defining. lethargilistic (talk) 07:33, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose I think in common usage prison is used to include prisons and jails enough to just use prison. I am also pretty sure the common way to refer to this is prison law. There are lots of cases where things are called prison and jail is being included. If we must include jail just call it “prison and jail law” and do not use an obscure term.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:28, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- I would oppose “prison and jail” as an alternative because these cases do not apply to pretrial detention in jails. The defining characteristic is that they are about the treatment of incarcerated people after they have been convicted. I’d also point out that advocating for incarcerated people is what is often called “prison law” or “prisoner law”; that’s a broader category of issues than just how the state is allowed to treat incarcerated people after conviction. lethargilistic (talk) 07:29, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
Oppose for now, there is no reason to make a distinction while Category:United States pretrial detention in jail case law only contains one article. Better merge that category into here. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:30, 27 December 2025 (UTC)- That category explicitly does not apply to people who have been convicted. People who are not yet convicted have different constitutional rights than people who have been. lethargilistic (talk) 20:25, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- I have populated the pretrial category with some other examples that came to mind immediately. Bell v. Wolfish reminded me that, technically, all federal detention facilities are “prisons” with various sub-classifications and that the analog for the states’ “jail” as I used it above would be the feds borrowing a cell in a state jail or placing them in an “administrative facility”. Therefore, the proper name for Category:United States pretrial detention in jail case law should be “United States pretrial incarceration case law.” When I named these categories, I was not thinking about classification details particularly, so the current names really ought not be treated as pre-existing consensus. What we should be prioritizing is the WP:DEFINING distinction between them because that is what determines what rights apply. If these were merged, trying to separate the categories again at a later date would be very difficult because of the colloquial (and understandable) conflation between these two kinds of incarceration and the kinds of facilities that are used for them. lethargilistic (talk) 21:01, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- That category explicitly does not apply to people who have been convicted. People who are not yet convicted have different constitutional rights than people who have been. lethargilistic (talk) 20:25, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
