I found this cat, it was in article-space categories, with no links to wikipedian cats. It's badly named, and should be destroyed 132.205.45.110 19:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(categories)#Companies states manufacturing companies should be ... of country, so I have listed these automobile categories here for rename (existing 'to' categories are redirects to the 'from' categories). I have also listed the car and defunct car categories to change to automobile in line with the rest. I think they would qualify for speedy, but since there are so many I have listed them here. mattbr30 19:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Reason. Following the recent failed attempt to get the correctly named Category:Television programmes set in Newcastle deleted, the incorrectly named category which was created to replace it should be deleted. Merge into the television programmes category and move the two or three films to Category:Newcastle upon Tyne culture or to a subcategory if anyone wants to create one. The television category should also be renamed Category:Television programmes set in Newcastle upon Tyne as there is a fairly large city called Newcastle in Australia.

I have now created category:Films set in Newcastle upon Tyne. CalJW 18:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Category:Journalism in Pakistan to Category:Pakistani media

The result of the debate was relist (tag was removed on 1 May, probably why there was only one vote) Tim! 11:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC) reply

This is an unnecessary complication and perhaps unique to Pakistan (I'm half way through checking the "journalists by country" cateogories and this is the first "Journalism" category I have encountered). Pakistan has a media category, and like other countries has or can have separate categories for each branch of media. Merge. Bhoeble 16:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC). reply

Category:Wold Newton family members

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus : a very close call, but considering the strength of view of those wanting to keep the category, probably further discussion is required. Also, a lot of deletes seem to based on the inclusion of Sherlock Holmes, why not just remove him from this category? Tim! 11:34, 6 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Better as a list. Mais oui! 12:10, 24 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Note people who are irresponsibly voting delete because they " haven't heard of Wold Newton" or think it's just "fancruft" should not be taken into consideration. If you're not aware or have the knowledge relating to this then I don't think their vote is worthy. This is not fancruft because it IS notable and there are if not enough links on the Net, enough books relating to Phillip José Farmer's concept which he along with others including Alan Moore used in their own works of fiction. So please be better informed otherwise don't delete a category because you're too ignorant to research or find out about the subject. Piecraft 21:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Would all of those who are against this category be willing to allow for a temporary stay of execution while I look into some of your suggestions? I will reply to some of your statements now however. Lady Aleena 03:13, 2 May 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Athenaeum, the only author of Sherlock Holmes novels I have ever read is Laurie R. King and I only have 1 Sherlock Holmes movie, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother.
  • Bhoeble and Scranchuse, all categories based solely on fictional universes are promotional in nature and "fancruft". (I have never heard the term fancruft before now.)
  • BL Lacertae, actually as most (if not all) of the authors who wrote the original stories are dead, the only way we get new stories are through new authors. PJF is one of those new authors and is building bridges between the characters that might futher peoples interest in reading the old books. There are probably people who only know these characters through PJFs novles Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life. With the characters connected though this category, those readers may pick up other books.
  • Golfcam, how does this category equate to spam?
  • TheGrappler, I will look into your suggestion, but if the editors of those characters are similar to Athenaeum, there will be serious resistance to adding Wold Newton material to those articles.
  • Merchbow, the category is not what will be expanded, only the list. Unless articles are written about the other official members of the family, there will be no further additions to the category until PJF writes another book on the subject and places more characters in the family.
  • Scranchuse, please get to know the huge world that is Wold Newton. It is quite interesting.
  • Valiantis and EurekaLott, how many Star Trek and Star Wars characters have been only created by someone other than the original creator of those two franchises? How many of them are in categories related to those universes?

And last but not least, thank you to Mike Selinker and The Noble Age of Steam for supporting Piecraft and me.

Hopefully no one was offended by my remarks. - LA

  • Delete To say that only people who have heard of it should vote is to propose that every decision should be left to fans, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fansite hosting service. Sumahoy 01:58, 5 May 2006 (UTC) reply
    • Sumahoy, I am fighting for this category though I have NEVER READ THE BOOKS which means that I am not a fan. I have not read a single book by Philip José Farmer. I am knowledgable on the subject, however. Using your logic would mean that EVERY category based on fiction should be removed. I would really love to see you try to get the Star Trek or Star Wars categories removed because they are only fiction and the articles and categories have been created by fans. You would get a lot of resistance from Dune fans if you tried to get their categories removed. I would say that those who edit articles here are fans of whatever they edit. One would almost have to be to take the time to do it. We don't get paid for our work, so why else do it if not because we enjoy the topics we edit? There are a lot of categories out there that are built solely on fandom. Do you think that they will all get deleted? I don't think so; but if you want to go through and try to get them off of here, I wish you ... Good luck! Lady Aleena 23:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC) reply

The majority of references concerned with this region and historical period prefer the description pre-Columbian over pre-Hispanic. This change would also be consistent with terminology use within related wikipedia articles and categories (see for eg. Category:Pre-Columbian cultures, Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, etc etc.) cjllw | TALK 05:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC) reply

The result of the debate was Delete and merge to Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from English constituencies -- ALoan 11:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC) reply

a) category is unnecessary, because all MPs for Epping Forest are linked from the list at Epping Forest (UK Parliament constituency); b) there have only been three MPs for Epping Forest since the costituency's creation in 1955; c) each individual MP has a succession box linking to the predecessor and successor MPs; d) this is the only category of the form "MPs for XXX constituency", and if it were to be replicated for other constituencies, we would have over 1,000 new categories each with very few entries. -- BrownHairedGirl 02:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC) reply

England and Scotland don't have cinema categories as they were deleted since the UK has a single film industry, so Northern Ireland shouldn't have one either. In any case this is incorrectly named. Merge into category:Northern Irish culture. Bhoeble 00:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC). reply

This category is confused and confusing. "The arts" is a subdivision of culture. This category was created a few days ago and other countries don't have it. Merge into category:Northern Irish culture. The introduction of the term "the arts" into the category system has been a bit of a disaster in my opinion. Bhoeble 00:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC). reply

The existing title attempts to be all embracing but is actually simultaneously tautological and incomplete. "Writers" is the comprehensive term used for naming categories. Rename category:Indigenous Australian writers. Bhoeble 23:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC). reply
