keep this is not about being hosted on Tor, it is about using the TOR protocol to host a website, making it (somewhat) anonymous. This distinguishes these websites from all other websites, so I think it is defining, and the current name is fine. There's a reason silkroad is on here - that site deals in illegal drugs, so if it was on the web, the police could easily find it - since it's a TOR hidden service, it can't be found. But TOR isn't hosting anything, technically speaking, and even TOR doesn't know where silkRoad is or who is running it. --

Comment but we do categorize hypertext sites "hosted" on the Internet accessed via HTTP in
Category:Websites, and these are hypertext sites "hosted" on the Internet accessed via tunneling through TOR on HTTP; though I notice we don't have
category:Gopher sites; hypertext hosted on the Internet accessed via Gopher --

if there were notable gopher sites, a category would make sense IMHO for them too. But TOR especially is not about protocols it's about anonymity, so people choose to create TOR sites often when they're doing something they don't want others to find, like Silk Road or various political activist websites.--

The result of the discussion was:merge. There are over 5,000 categories in the "(artist) songs" format, and we're not going to change that by nominating two categories. This needs a much higher-level discussion if change is desired.--

All the songs have recently been moved from the more established
Category:James Taylor songs and
Category:Carole King songs to the nominated categories. There are two problems here with the new category names, one is that the title is a little too encompassing, it includes a snatch of song whistled while walking down Broadway and a solitary performance on a wet Wednesday in Waco. Secondly, the XXX songs category tree is well-established with over 5,000 members. I am sympathetic to the creator, insomuch that "XXX songs" is not the best category title, but this suggestion is not an improvement.

I don't think remerging would be helpful as "XXX songs" is less clear than "Songs performed by". If the concern is with the title, perhaps the solution is to find an appropriate title and suggest that? Would "Songs recorded by" be more fitting? SilkTork✔Tea time09:13, 25 May 2013 (UTC)reply
Merge per nom. "Foo songs" categories have long been established as part of the "
Songs by artist" categorization scheme, which states the category is for "songs by recording artist". That still works for me. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me17:16, 25 May 2013 (UTC)reply
When I think of "Marvin Gaye songs", I would expect to see "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" among them. If someone asked me my favorite Madonna song, I might say "Crazy for You". Neither of which was written by said artist, but to me seem appropriately categorized. I don't see how it implies ownership. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me17:00, 26 May 2013 (UTC)reply
Reverse merge -- The target would cover songs written by her as well as those performed by her. This probably needs a much wider nom.

Comment Ooops about the tag, thought I'd done so many of these I was pushing the right link/using the right template. But tell me, why is the "FOO culture" series of categories the only one that has hyphens? See
Category:European_Canadian.

Comment Um, speaking as a Norwegian Canadian, it's totally unclear to me why in that usage "Norwegian" is not an adjective there, also. I see no difference at all between the two usages; I'm Canadian primarily, "Norwegian" is only adjectival in any construction. And a while back WPCAN got rid of all the hyphenated forms from all other categories.

Nominator's rationale: Category:Reichstag is not in use because it is apparently ambiguous. However the two categories which were needing disambiguation are Category:Reichstag (legislative body) and Category:Reichstag (building); since August 2011 the latter has been a subcategory of the former, which also contains four articles legislatures that have been called Reichstag and a members category. Could we not have a scenario where Category:Reichstag is used instead containing Category:Reichstag (building) together with the members category and the four articles as well as the dab page at
Reichstag?

Support -- The Reichstag is the legislative body, not the building in which it meets. I am a little surprised that we need a category for the building.
Peterkingiron (

10:25, 27 May 2013 (UTC)reply
Strong oppose categories should not be ambiguous. For all too many people, it means the building, and not the legislative body. Further,
Reichstag is a disambiguation page, and categories should not be created using disambiguation page names for non-disambiguatory purposes (unless they are container categories for that listed on the dab page). --

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Previously nominated on
26 November 2010, I believe the same rationale then still applies. One album article and navigation amongst the contents is easy enough to not require eponymous categorization. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me01:12, 25 May 2013 (UTC)reply

Another Suggestion. Relocate the two articles into a broader category. It's kinda strange that you brought this up, chap. Do what you can. Maybe I can remake it in the future.
