Category:Disney voice actors ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Speedy delete. These were part of the mass nomination that resulted in the decision to listify and speedy delete cast categories with an appropriate cast list in place. However, thes categories for actors by the network on which their shows appeared or the producing studio, not for specific shows. Per Disney Channel actors, these actor by channel/studio categories should be speedily deleted without listifying. Otto4711 17:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply

  • Bah, and I even participated in both of those discussions. I saw these and thought they were carry-overs from the mass nom that hadn't been dealt with. Withdrawn with apologies, and give the admins and bots time to catch up. Otto4711 21:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Research in Kiev city to Category:Organisations based in Kiev city
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, This category is excessively narrow. It appears to have been created to hold one particular article, and I can't find any other research by city categories. However Category:Organisations by city is fairly well populated and some of its other subcategories contain research institutions. CalJW 17:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Manhattanization ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete - Category contains three articles, the lead article and two articles for buildings in Miami. The articles for the two buildings, Platinum on the Bay and Four Seasons Hotel Miami, contain no information which justifies inclusion in the category. Even if they did, three articles are insufficient to sustain a category and without the building articles the one remaining article certainly is insufficient. I have placed the article Manhattanization in an appropriate parent cat, Category:Political terms. The nominated cat should be deleted. Otto4711 17:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply

I am puzzled by these cats. SilkTork 17:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply

Comment. The category and the essay explaining the category was started and finished in May 2006. Even the guy who started it seemed to abandon it quite quickly. The actual system has since been replaced. SilkTork 23:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Obviously a project like this cannot thrive if people don't like it, which seems to be the case here. To me, questions like "What other churches are located close to this one?" or "What are the neighboring counties?" etc. seem to be pretty natural and relevant for an encyclopedia to answer. I would therefore be interested in learning why people immediately reject the idea, maybe on my talk page or on the project's talk page. I thought it was a really good idea at the time :-) Cheers, AxelBoldt 23:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC) reply

  • Rename, BUT... This is something I've been meaning to get around to for a while, so I've no objection in principle. However, given that the by-country subcategories use the serial comma, for consistency's sake I would suggest that the category is renamed to Orders, decorations, and medals.

    Comment and how does a vote on one thing affect another thing? // Liftarn
    You've misunderstood, these aren't "votes", they are discussions. Read the discussion. Jayjg (talk) 16:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply
    • Ok, then. How does one thing affect another? That A was deleted is not a valid argument to also delete B. // Liftarn
      • This isn't A and B, this is a second variation on A. Lists and categories are very closely related—in fact, it's common to convert categories to lists, and vice versa. Now, it is true that a deletion for "List of A" does not necessarily mean that "Category:A" should also be deleted, because it's possible that the list was deleted in favor of a category. This is pretty much the sole exception, though, and doesn't apply here. Xtifr tälk 22:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC) reply
        • I think it does apply here. // Liftarn
  • Delete "Pejorative" is an overly subjective term, and thus is a problematic criteria for categorization. Where do you draw the line between "justifiably insulted" and "overly sensitive"? Dugwiki 19:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per the arguments raised for the near-identical list, many of which apply even more strongly to a category. Categories can't include citations and can't be easily monitored for inappropriate additions. If we were to keep one or the other, then we should keep the list, but since the list has already been deleted, we should most definitely get rid of the category as well! Xtifr tälk 22:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC) reply
    • No, becasause we deleted the list the category should stay. However it may need a better name. // Liftarn
  • Delete 'Pejorative' is simply too subjective. Anything which comes down to opinion, like this does, is an unsuitable basis for a category ( WP:OR, etc).
Xdamr talk 17:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC) reply
  • do not delete until a satisfactory replacement term is found. Suggests are 'political epithets' or 'political slurs' Bad idea to upmerge to 'political terms'--that category is already in need of category diffusion. Hmains 19:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure that there is any way that this can be replaced without being OR. Afd doesn't seem to want it, so any re-creation is likely to be deleted.

Category:Futurologists ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Delete - I originally nominated this for renaming on 2007 Feb 7 to be renamed as "futurist consultants". I had thought that the category was supposed to be used for people paid by corporations for information on future developments. However, looking at futurist, futurologist, list of futurologists, and future studies more carefully, it appears that this category was originally intended to include science fiction writers (who so frequently write about the future that it is not a defining characteristic), scientists and economists who have made predictions about the future, and other people. Few of these people are not connected to any other profession. This collection of people is not useful. In particular, discussion of the future is not a defining characteristic for some groups of people, especially science fiction wrtiers (where people normally write about the future). This should be deleted. (I apologize for not coming to this realization during the first nomination.) Dr. Submillimeter 08:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC) reply
