Category talk:Norwegian singularia tantum

RFD discussion: January–February 2018
Emptied and redundant. DonnanZ (talk) 10:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Category:Norwegian uncountable nouns (also currently empty) can be used instead. DonnanZ (talk) 10:10, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * RFDO failed. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:44, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Is "Category:Norwegian singularia tantum" supposed to be deleted? — SGconlaw (talk) 18:48, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

 * I deleted it, but it got recreated automatically. I reckon it's just part of the category structure. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:29, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe Category:Norwegian uncountable nouns needs to be moved out of it and made a subcategory of Category:Norwegian nouns before you can delete Category:Norwegian singularia tantum? — SGconlaw (talk) 17:34, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * See line 1278 in Module:category tree/poscatboiler/data/lemmas. DTLHS (talk) 17:35, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * It's all rather absurd. DonnanZ (talk) 18:17, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

So what should be done to resolve this problem, if there is consensus that Category:Norwegian singularia tantum should be deleted? (, are you able to assist?) — SGconlaw (talk) 03:15, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Someone just has to go to the "parents" field of "uncountable nouns" in Module:category tree/poscatboiler/data/lemmas and change "singularia tantum" to "nouns". — Eru·tuon 04:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅, thanks. What, if anything, should be done about the "labels["singularia tantum"]" entry itself? — SGconlaw (talk) 04:10, 22 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. I think all empty singularia tantum categories can be removed, uncountable nouns categories are the ideal / perfect substitute. DonnanZ (talk) 10:51, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * So I ought to just delete the "labels["singularia tantum"]" line from Module:category tree/poscatboiler/data/lemmas? — SGconlaw (talk) 17:20, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it should be done eventually, whether it can be done now or after categories have been emptied and removed is a question I can't answer.
 * Its companion in crime, pluralia tantum, may be a tougher nut to crack, there is no category for plural nouns, so I don't know what the solution is for that. Should it be renamed? DonnanZ (talk) 18:03, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll leave it in place until some decision has been made about the other categories. What's the problem with the pluralia tantum categories? — SGconlaw (talk) 04:16, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * TBH, being a kind of philistine (with a small P) I dislike the name. DonnanZ (talk) 09:34, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Ohhh. What should these categories be called? Sounds like a new discussion is needed. — SGconlaw (talk) 10:20, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I don't think it can be quietly renamed, so I think a BP discussion would be needed. In the meantime we're stuck with it. DonnanZ (talk) 13:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
