Category:Selbstretter[edit]

See also: Commons:Categories for discussion/2015/01/Category:Filterselbstretter.

I moved one category following one CFD (Commons:Categories for discussion/2015/01/Category:Filterselbstretter) not realizing we had two other similar categories: Category:Selbstretter and Category:Sauerstoffselbstretter‎. The latter is linked via wikidata to en:Self-contained self-rescue device. Can anyone help in renaming these appropriately? Thanks. -- Themightyquill (talk) 12:25, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Filterselbstretter are devices which let only non toxic parts of the air through. In contrast, Sauerstoffselbstretter are producing oxygen; the user depends not on the environment. Therefore the respective categories are subcategories to Selbstretter. In english language there are no appropriate names for these devices, thats the reason why i've used the german ones.--Markscheider (talk) 04:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
These devices only exist in Germany, Austria and Switzerland? - Themightyquill (talk) 15:19, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. --Markscheider (talk) 08:16, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It seems unlikely to me that non-German-speaking people around the world use the term "Saueroffselbstretter." There must be an English equivalent.- Themightyquill (talk) 07:58, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Find it and put it in. --Markscheider (talk) 10:40, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I started the CFD... - Themightyquill (talk) 08:29, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"An emergency breathing apparatus is a respiratory protective unit for emergency evacuations. Two categories exist: air purifying devices like an escape respirator which feature a filter; and air supplying devices like SCSR self-rescuers that are dedicated to emergency evacuations in confined space, poorly oxygenated or toxic environments."

Proposal:

How is that? Themightyquill (talk) 08:39, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reopened my Markscheider
This is wrong. The first one cleans the air from dangerous components, the second one produces it's own oxygen. I'm really tired of this. --Markscheider (talk) 10:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The first one (respiratory protective devices for self-rescue) cleans the air from dangerous components. The second (self-contained self-rescue devices) supplies oxygen. I don't see the problem. -- Themightyquill (talk) 19:10, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
