Category:Summer Paralympics

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge per nom. A glance at Category:Summer Paralympics shows that all of the articles deal with the 2008 games, and a simple merge this way means that no other work needs to be done (great idea by the anon and Grutness, though). Kbdank71 13:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Suggest merging Category:Summer Paralympics to Category:2008 Summer Paralympics
Nominator's rationale: All articles in the cat are specifically regarding the 2008 Summer Paralympics. There is already a category for Summer Paralympics in general at Category:Summer Paralympic Games, which nicely matches the corresponding Olympic category ( Category:Summer Olympic Games) — jwillbur 20:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply
  • It may seem more of an exercise in semantics than anything else, since the result would currently be the same, but there is technically difference between merging A and B as subsets of C (your proposal) and merging A and C and recategorising everything from A into B (the counterproposal). If more articles relating to other games (e.g., 2012 Summer Paralympics) were placed in Category:Summer Paralympics before the completion of this CfD process, then your original proposal might result in them being wrongly categorised; the counterproposal ensures that they wouldn't be. Grutness... wha? 00:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:People from Trelleborgs to Category:People from Trelleborg

Category:Sports festivals hosted in Czech Republic

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to add "the". As for removing "hosted", while I agree, it seems to be redundant, there are 123 other categories named the same way in Category:Sports festivals by host country. As such, an umbrella nom for them all is probably in order. Kbdank71 13:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Suggest merging Category:Sports festivals hosted in Czech Republic to Category:Sports festivals hosted in the Czech Republic
Nominator's rationale: This is in an effort to make it more consistent among sports festivals. Event it is called Czech Republic, most people pronounce it with "the" preceding the country Chris ( talk) 15:16, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Deputy Lieutenants of Southampton

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. Kbdank71 13:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Suggest merging Category:Deputy Lieutenants of Southampton to Category:Deputy Lieutenants of Hampshire
Nominator's rationale: Hampshire is formally known as the County of Southampton, and is so printed in the London Gazette. However, usual practice is to refer to Lord-Lieutenants, Deputy Lieutenants, etc. of the county as being "of Hampshire". The two categories should be merged under the Hampshire name Choess ( talk) 14:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus. As discussed, if there are other like categories that could be renamed, an umbrella nomination is probably a good idea. Kbdank71 13:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Propose renaming Category:Bridges and tunnels that are Registered Historic Places to Category:Bridges and tunnels on the National Register of Historic Places
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Old name is incorrect syntax - not recognized by National Park Service. New name is correct. Appraiser ( talk) 14:24, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I agree that the title is awkward but disagree with the nominator's rationale, "Old name is incorrect syntax - not recognized by National Park Service." We have documented numerous cases of "Registered Historic Places" being used by NPS writers (although downcasing) when writing for external audiences in budget proposals and travel itinerary websites. We have a need for the Proper Noun version of that phrase. And, the internal NPS or state SHPO jargon is probably not appropriate for general wikipedia usage, containing implicit assumption that the nation involved must be the U.S. which makes sense internally but is U.S. centric in wikipedia articles. I also thought there was consensus at wt:NRHP to discuss the whole batch there or in the NRHP renaming proposals subpage. doncram ( talk) 03:01, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Women's media and publications ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Right, nothing wrong with combinatorial names per se, the rename simply brings it in line with other similar cats. (Note: Lquilter was the creator of this category.) Cgingold ( talk) 20:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Mononymous entertainers

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete, per overcat, precedence (see porn stars listing below) and as Sam points out, recreation of deleted material . Kbdank71 13:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Category:Mononymous entertainers ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - overcategorization by coincidence of name format. That an entertainer uses one name or two names or three names is not a defining characteristic. We have previously deleted such categories as People known by first name only and People known by single-name pseudonym. A subset of a deleted category should also be deleted. Otto4711 ( talk) 12:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply
  • What is the difference between this and the deleted categories for people known by one name pseudonyms and people known by first name? Where is the literature that suggests that going by a single name is a significant area of study? What is the encyclopedic relationship between, say, Barbette, an American drag queen trapeze artist from the 1920s, and Shazza, a Polish pop singer? Otto4711 ( talk) 01:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Even if the parent category "Mononymous persons" is kept (which it shouldn't be), I still don't see an argument for intersecting that with occupation instead of merging. Postdlf ( talk) 14:57, 1 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as per what Peterkingiron said. Asarelah ( talk) 23:59, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom. Category:Mononymous persons should have be deleted. It is a recreation of a previously deleted category. Sorry I missed that discussion. The deletion discussion for the previous incarnation was here. I would have no problem with these categories becoming lists. If we are to have a category for monoymous people, I see no reason at all to intersect them with professions. (This would be possible in a list). We need clearer guidelines that explain the advantages and disadvantages of lists and categories. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 06:47, 4 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Category:Mononymous persons was (rightly) kept, and this is a necessary subset of the parent category. It is necessary to keep the parent category to a manageable size. Neıl ☄ 10:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, per reasons stated above. Nihil novi ( talk) 05:19, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Peterkingiron argument. The relation of the mononymous persons category to the people known by one name pseudonyms and people known by first name is valid, but the decision not to delete (i.e. no consensus) should be seen as an overturning of those previous deletions. These things happen in Wikipedia, consensus sways. __ meco ( talk) 09:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn. Per suggestion, better to let this nomination die with a later rename after cleanup to focus on people by status. Vegaswikian ( talk) 07:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply
Category:Beginners and newcomers ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Simply a mishmash of various articles. It includes military ranks and descriptions that can apply to every type of job. Clearly these are not occupations. Vegaswikian ( talk) 06:34, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. Per discussion, this is classic overcategorization. Plus, as Otto points out, there is precedence in the deletion of Category:People known by first name only and Category:People known by single-name pseudonyms here. Fianlly, Category:Mononymous persons wasn't kept, it was closed as no consensus [1]. . Kbdank71 12:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Propose renaming Category:Mononymous porn actors to Category:Mononymous porn stars
Nominator's rationale: Rename for consistency. The term used in WP categories is "porn stars"; the parent is Category:Porn stars and all of the subcategories use "porn stars" too. (Not that I have an in-depth knowledge about this category tree or anything ... you know, a "friend" told me. Yeah ... that's the ticket.)
