We do not make cats ending in "by languages". I insist: Prohibit making cats to IPs, or find out who this one from China is (has made many problematic edits) and block their IP range. E4024 (talk) 12:56, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- We use "by language", "by country" etc. Am I wrong? --E4024 (talk) 20:43, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- This category was emptied prior to closing this discussion, so I have restored it for now. It can be emptied if consensus is to do so upon closing this CfD. Josh (talk) 20:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- @E4024: We make language-specific categories, so of course if such categories exist, it makes perfect sense for a meta-cat "by language" to hold them. So long as Category:Arabic-language feminine given names exists, it belongs in Category:Feminine given names by language (which the nominated category should be renamed to). That said, I don't see value in gendering names, so in my opinion, we should conclude the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2017/08/Category:Male names before worrying too much about a sub-cat like the nominated one.

- Sorry, I worked hard today, am tired, and have a difficulty in understanding you. What is the issue? Use "feminine and masculine" "instead of "female and male"? If that is the case, it exactly is the situation in my mother tongue, Turkish. We have many "masculine" names like Fikret, Şevket, Ufuk, Ayhan, etc which are (also) used by women. "Han" means "khan" - strange for a woman but there are many. A more strange case is the name Beyhan (a combination of "Bey", a noble man, and "khan" his king or prince) - and almost exlusively given to female babies! Am I not understanding anything? Tomorrow inshallah. --E4024 (talk) 21:04, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
Keep This category is needed to group potentially numerous language-specific cats. What is the issue, exactly? Laddo (talk) 11:32, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
- One of the issues is we use the term "by language" and not "by languages" as I said at the opening sentence. The rest is beyond my intellectual capacity. --E4024 (talk) 13:10, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
- Would it be OK to simply create Category:Female names by language and recategorize ? Laddo (talk) 01:45, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
- Please don't do anything now. It is a question of "moving" when the discussion is over. No need for "making" a cat. Merci. --E4024 (talk) 01:49, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

- Yes. I don't think a discussion is even needed. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:13, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
