The result of the discussion was: Keep as named. Dana boomer ( talk) 01:47, 29 June 2012 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Guadalajara, Jalisco was recently moved to Guadalajara, and I think the category names should follow. This is a clear case of overwhelming primary usage to the level of a Category:Paris or Category:London. The city in Mexico has a population of 1.5 million (4.3 million in the metro area). The city in Spain of the same name has a population of 84,000. If this category is renamed, the subcategories can be speedily renamed to match. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:18, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Move this out of articles and include the tagging on the talk page via the project template ({{ WikiProject Law}}. Most all of the other projects tag missing infoboxes on the talk page. There is no reason, even if hidden, for this to be located on the articles. Vegaswikian ( talk) 22:57, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: These are two different schemes: one by the nationality of the recording artist, another referring to indigenous/folk music of a people group. It seems that they've been combined here. — Justin (koavf)TCM 20:25, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply

@Lugnuts, The Bushranger and Koavf .. a larger scheme? Which only makes sense for large countries in recent years, so it is expanded throughout. I think that a serious rethink of that 'larger scheme' should be done. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 03:47, 11 June 2012 (UTC) reply
Yes, a larger scheme: please take all trees into account: you seem to be looking at this from a "vatican City" point only, not from the 2009 point: upmerging this would place this page in the "2009 establisments" cat, and remove it from the "2009 establishments by country" pool, for the sake of "no small cats" only. Such upmergings from some elements from a large group (the 2009 establishments by country) but not others doesn't help anyone but only makes it harder to find (and categorize) things. Fram ( talk) 10:23, 11 June 2012 (UTC) reply
I can agree that for 2009 many of the country categories are having a significant number of articles in them - but already quite a number will have 1 or 2 (almost by definition). Going a few years back will only increase that number (plus giving the illogical situation of countries not existing (yet). I am still not convinced that the larger scheme is beneficial, and would need further discussion (see RfC). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 10:44, 11 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, the bottom category is not only part of this 6-cat tree, but also of other trees: removing it from those other trees is not helpful at all. That this means that a number of small or even very small cats have to be created is not in itself a problem.

  • Delete - The one member is miscategorized, in my opinion: the image is of an album cover that depicts a body part, not of a body part per se. The distinction lies in the fact that whereas this image could be used to illustrate the article about the album, it could not be used in an article about vision. It might be possible to populate this category with various anatomy-related images; however, either Commons or Category:Anatomy images (currently red) would be better homes for such images. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 22:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Nearly every song has 'disputed authorship', for instance every Lennon/McCartney song is credited as such, yet Lennon or McCartney or somebody else claims they wrote it! 'Disputed authorship' is the stuff of myth and fandom. This category has existing for nearly a year and I am grateful there is still only one entry! If the category was more along the lines "Songs whose authorship has been challenged in Court" my opinion would be different. Richhoncho ( talk) 09:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: I have added more. Like any category, it should only be added if the relevant facts are stated and cited in the article, e.g. " John Brown's Body". Therefore, this category should only collect articles with notable disputes. I am adding this to the category page as a reminder. – Fayenatic L ondon 18:14, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Question: I'm not familiar with songwriting credits. What would make a song "officially" written by Lennon? Have these cases ever gone to court? I would support a more precise category name if I heard a specific proposal, such as the one suggested by the nominator. CaseyPenk ( talk) 06:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC) reply
Response. All (99.9% anyway) of Beatle songs are credited jointly to Lennon/McCartney and are listed 'officially' as such (i.e. not just on the album cover), however many were written by one without further input from the other. This is a fairly common practice and can be seen in other bands. The copyrightable bit of a song is the words and melody and any distinquishing arrangement (not ANY arrangement). There are plenty notable cases where it is claimed the credited writers are not the actual writers. Even with WP:V all I need is some website to say I co-wrote XXX song and I have created another myth! I am grateful to Fayenatic london for his additional text on this category, which goes a long way to allaying my fears about this category, but it should also be considered to fall under the remit of WP:BLP when appropriate, and that unknown or uncertain is not the same as 'disputed authorship' -- Richhoncho ( talk) 09:46, 12 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- This should be about cases where two people both claim to have written a song separately, so that there is a dispute between them. If two people wrote it jointly, it is a jointly written song. It is futile to argue over how much each contributed.
  • Delete the fact that we do not have Category:Songs with unknown authorship suggests to me that there is not a need for this level of categorization. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:40, 28 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Delete (Listify if wanted). "Disputed" can mean many things. Which cannot be explained for each entry in a category. So this should be a list if anything. - jc37` 23:39, 4 July 2012 (UTC) reply

A logic expansion of this tree will become historically unsound ( Category 9th century disestablishments in the New Zealand, where New Zealand did not exist at that time).

There are a lot of articles in, for example, Category:2012 disestablishments that need to split by country and type of organisation, and many articles have not even been categorised with year of disestablishment so need tracking down. I personally am opposed to the creation of categories such as 9th century disestablishments in New Zealand prior to the existence of the country, but it does not exist and isn't a reason to delete the existing categories.

    I tried to look here (but maybe I am looking in the wrong place), but that does not give much hope for much more. "That need to be split by country" - that gives for some countries trees which are just way to fine grained, and I am not convinced that this needs a level of years, I am not even sure if it needs a level of decades. As I suggest, start with high level, and split where necessary - not split and hope that there will be enough.

As I suggest, start with high level, and split where necessary - not split and hope that there will be enough.
    Note that categories like Category:557 establishments in France do exist - that sets a very bad precedent. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 09:56, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply
    [ This does not seem to give anything that needs categorisation as establishment nor disestablishment .. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 10:06, 10 June 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, this is being populated and will get a lot more complete. Upmerging them now and downmerging them again afterwards is a useless waste of time and effort. As for the decade cats, a general RfC on these cats is happening at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories#RfC on "Years by country" categories, where input is welcome from all sides and on all issues, to see what appraoch is the most useful and informative.

    • Can you give a, realistic, consideration how many there will be in either of the lowest level categories? As I suggested in the RfC - for those decades where the year-categories are not likely to contain more than 5 pages on average (is that a reasonable number?), I would suggest to upmerge to the decade level (and for the 19th century, maybe a consideration that century level is fine grained enough to start?). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 11:37, 11 June 2012 (UTC) reply
