Category:European people by ethnic or national origin

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:27, 7 July 2009 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Single entry. Not a "by continent" naming convention. There are not so many countries that they need to be divided by continent, nor do continents need to be sorted by ethnicity. Adds nothing to navigation.

Category:Melodifestivalen songs of 2005 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete Merge to Category:Melodifestivalen songs. A two entry category that is composed of songs that were candidates to represent Sweden in an international competition. All 45 Some of the songs are included in the main article. If the starting comments are favirable, I'll add the remaining like categories, there is a large number of these, all are small. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Queries – what are these 45 songs and which is the 'main article' (there are far more articles than one would hope)? Is the criterion any (notable) song that was entered into Melodifestivalen 2005? Eg why is Alcastar not there? I suppose I could see what other countries do re Eurovision contenders ...

Category:TV Tic-tac-toe

The result of the discussion was: Delete, after upmerging contents to ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Tic-tac-toe. All are already in appropriate subcategories of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Game shows. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:23, 7 July 2009 (UTC) reply
Category:TV Tic-tac-toe ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete or rename - Nominated once previously with no consensus. The existing name is awkward, so if retained it should be renamed. I suggest Category:Tic-tac-toe television programs to align with the similar Category:Poker television programs and Category:Blackjack television programs. If this is deleted I'm fine with that too. Otto4711 ( talk) 18:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Delete There's Tic-Tac-Dough, Hollywood Squares, and… a pricing game on TPIR? Not enough for a category, no likely chance of expansion given the move back to dumb luck based games á la Deal or No Deal and stripped down quizzers á la Million Dollar Password.

  • Keep The format of the program is a clear defining characteristic of these programs. The popularity of the format makes it likely that there will be more such programs in the future as well as others outside the United States that may have been missed. Alansohn ( talk) 22:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Upmerge to parent Category:Tic-tac-toe. Such sub-categorization is unnecessary and the gameshows are variations of the game. -- Wolfer68 ( talk) 18:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Blur to Category:Blur (band)
Nominator's rationale: Per the ambiguous Blur and Blur (band). Category names should never be more ambiguous than article names. Occuli ( talk) 17:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Queen (band) to Category:Queen
Nominator's rationale: Although the band's article is disambiguated to Queen (band), its category needn't be. For example: Blur (band) and Category:Blur. indopug ( talk) 16:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply

For some reason, someone already created the renamed category, rather than let this process complete. Just a note of thought, though - no song should be added to these "gold" and "platinum" certification categories without it being properly sourced in the article. -- Wolfer68 ( talk) 16:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete Category:People from Sheffield (district); merge subcats into Category:People from Sheffield. Someone from Sheffield will usually have lived in many sub-areas; being born in a particular area is not defining; 'from Sheffield' is enough; Sheffield (district) is a redirect to Sheffield.

  • Support -- These are mostly suburbs of the present city of Sheffield. Most were in the ancient parish of Sheffield (which was a large one. One might possibly have a category for people living in the original Sheffield settlement (ie the present city centre), but I doubt it is worthwhile.

Propose renaming deleting Category:Hit songs written by Eric Carmen to Category:Songs written by Eric Carmen
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To remove the "weasel" word "hit". On pasting here I found that the same creator had also created the new cat with text added songs. The target category is now correct and the "Hits" category is empty. Richhoncho ( talk) 07:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Federal preemption law (United States) to Category:Federal preemption law
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category was recently brought to speedy renaming, at which point a discussion got started, but did not finish before the category was speedy renamed as originally proposed, apparently by accident: [1] [2] The previous discussion is copied here, behind the cut.-- chaser ( talk) 06:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply
previous discussion
    • I don't object to renaming, but I have my own idea about it. The parenthetical disambiguation is not necessary, so we don't need either "(US)" or "(United States)". Perusing preemption and linked articles, it appears that there is nothing else that would conflict with a category name of "federal preemption" or "federal preemption law". There seems to be no strong preference for either of those.-- chaser ( talk) 06:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC) reply
The question is not whether they have laws but whether they enjoy sufficient concurrent jurisdiction with their federal governments and a tradition of local government that federal law would preempt. There is nothing on Wikipedia yet about preemption by other countries, so unless someone has a reliable external source, it's just guessing at this point to say other countries have a significant body of preemption law.-- chaser ( talk) 05:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Number-one singles in the Netherlands to Category:Dutch Top 40 number-one singles
Nominator's rationale: The parent article of this category refers to the music charts in the Netherlands, that being the Dutch Top 40. This category should be renamed to match that article. — Σ xplicit 03:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC) reply
