Category:United States Navy submarine chasers

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: speedy rename. This will clearly not be the only USN ships category with a different format.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 23:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Propose renaming Category:United States Navy submarine chasers to Category:Submarine chasers of the United States Navy
Nominator's rationale: This is a previous objected speedy. The objection was three-parted: one, "submarine chaser" was a strictly U.S. term, two, the "Y X" format was preferred, and three, that "Submarine chasers of Foo" was confusing in that people might think it was "chasers that are submarines". The third objection fails WP:COMMONSENSE, this is now the only remaining ships-by-navy-and-type subcategory (that I know of, at least) of Category:Ships by navy that is not "X of Y" format, and as for the first, I have since found other navies using subchasers, with both the Japanese and Soviet Navies expliticly using the term to refer to their own home-built ships (vs. transferred USN ships). Bottom line: there's no reason for this category not to be X of Y like all of the rest. The Bushranger One ping only 20:00, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Category:United States ships involved in the siege of Fort Fisher N.C. ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Wow, this seems overly specific. If kept, it should be renamed as Category:Ships of the Union Navy involved in the siege of Fort Fisher, N.C.. But I don't see any categories like this anywhere.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 19:58, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Delete - clear WP:OC. This would make a nice list, but is hardly defining as a category. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:01, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering ( talk) 04:04, 31 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Propose renaming Category:United States Navy ships transferred to other navies to Category:Ships transferred from the United States Navy to other navies
Propose renaming Category:United States Navy ships transferred to the United States Coast Guard to Category:Ships transferred from the United States Navy to the United States Coast Guard
Nominator's rationale: Per nominations like this, all US Navy categories now are of the "(X) of the United States Navy" format. I think this suggested format has a better sequence, as it no longer suggests that the ships in question remain USN ships. There are lots of subcategories, which can get speedily renamed if this passes.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 15:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Rio Grande basin to Category:Drainage basins of the Rio Grande
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match parent category Category:Drainage basins of the Gulf of Mexico. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 13:32, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Weak objection: "Rio Grande basin" would be the WP:COMMONNAME, I believe. But is there a reason this category should even be kept? - The Bushranger One ping only 23:35, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep of the other basins that are so designated, virtually all are named with basin, I think there might be one other named as a drainage basin. Much more common is watershed, but if we think that all should change from basin to watershed, we should at least discuss all the basins at once, so I will not make any comment on that issue at the present. It would be heldful if someone made a parent article on Rio Grande basin. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:17, 31 December 2011 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename Category:Annie albums to Category:Annie (Norwegian singer) albums and Category:Annie songs to Category:Annie (Norwegian singer) songs.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 16:38, 31 December 2011 (UTC) reply
Convert the following categories to article Annie discography:
Nominator's rationale: Convert. The primary topic, Annie (Norwegian singer), has multiple articles (some are individual articles dedicated to questionably notable releases), two low-population categories, and a dedicated navbox; all of which cross-reference each other and contain the same information. This seems redundant and excessive for an artist that is notable only in a very small slice of electronic music subgenres. The heart of my proposal(s) are to keep the main article Annie (Norwegian singer), then merge all of the individual song articles and the two categories ( Category:Annie songs and Category:Annie albums), into the discography article: Annie discography. — bllix ( talk) 11:24, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Propose upmerging Category:Healthcare in Afghanistan to Category:Health in Afghanistan
Further categories
Nominator's rationale: Most Healthcare in country categories are poorly distinguished from Health in Country, and articles are arbitrarily placed in either. With the exception of Italy and Cuba, no countries have topic articles covering both health and healthcare. Although the category structure is somewhat useful for sorting subcategories and large categories such as that of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, the arbitrary nature of article placement in either Healthcare in country or Health in Country makes it harder for the reader to find what s/he needs. 125.25.210.222 ( talk) 06:12, 24 December 2011 (UTC) reply
