Keep - There are many other tv series who have similar categories with a shorter shelf life. As Charmed has been on for 8 years with a number of known actors I believe the category should stay. Artemisboy 23:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Australian immigration to Category:Immigration to Australia
  • Rename - All of the other categories in Category:Immigration are named "Immigration to X", which is unambiguous. This category should be renamed not only to conform with the naming convention used in oter categories but also to clarify that the subject is about immigration into Australia, not immigration out of Australia. Dr. Submillimeter 23:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC) reply
Australians do not "immigrate" to other places; they "emigrate" - if you want to use the word in the context you have used, you have to say something like "The immigration of Australians to Romania", etc; there is no other way you can use the word. Additionally, "Australian immigration" is more concise and easier to type; I can never understand why all the category changes always end up with the text two or three times as long. People do not always go for the correct usage; they go for the quickest, and with my point above this category should stay as is. JROBBO 10:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Darkwing Duck villains into Category:Darkwing Duck characters
  • It doesn't appear from that CfD that the idea of merging up any further than that was considered. There is not a parent Category:Batman characters and perhaps there should be and the villains category should be merged there. I can't say as if I'm familiar enough with Darkwing Duck to know whether the "villains" ever "switch sides" in the way that led to various villain categories being seen as POV (e.g. Magneto, Catwoman, Emma Frost, all of whom were categorized as "villains" despite having spent good chunks of their "careers" as "heroes"). It was the first of these series-specific categories I noticed. My feeling though is that there's no reason to keep separate villain categories when there's a "characters" parent cat to upmerge.

  • I don't think villain is half as subjective as people might think. I hardly think anyone would get upset if someone classified Klingons in the villain category, though they've switched back and forth in Star Trek. Part Deux 21:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Delete per recently emerging consensus to delete villain categories as POV. Has the additional definitional/POV problems that go with child-named categories. This was nominated previously and closed with no consensus following a very small smaple size. Otto4711 18:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC) reply

The category is defined as a category of American National Medal of Art recipients. The word American must be mentioned. Other countries have their own National Medal of Art! The category needs to be renamed obviously. Sangak 16:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Delete; namesakes are better served by a list if at all since the reason for naming can be put into context—that Mother Cabrini and Robert Fulton share this category informs us very little of either of them otherwise. Moreover, certain figures have numerous streets named after them ( Martin Luther King, Jr. comes to mind) and a proliferation of categories for namesake streets in various cities would clutter the article. - choster 15:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Not sure what this one's title should be, but this sure ain't it. A combination of dodgy grammar and use of the singular makes this a very unappealing title.
