Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2013 August index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:1871 establishments in Oklahoma | Rename. While the consensus to rename was clear, the target was not. If I selected the wrong target (the Indian Territory), feel free to renominate | August 17 |
| Category:1890 establishments in Oklahoma | Rename | August 17 |
| Category:1920 Iraqi Revolt | Merge | August 14 |
| Category:1955 NCAA Division I baseball standings templates | Delete | August 2 |
| Category:1960 establishments in Upper Volta | No consensus! I don't know what everyone wants. By rights I should have renamed this to match every other category in this area. But clearly there was no consensus to do that. So what does everyone want? Renaming every other category to this name? | August 5 |
| Category:1st-century disestablishments in Turkey | Rename/delete | August 15 |
| Category:20th-century Indian film actresses | merge to Category:20th-century Indian actresses and Category:Indian film actresses | August 26 |
| Category:21st-century American male actors | keep | August 23 |
| Category:3rd-century BC establishments in Turkey | rename, merge and delete as nominated. -- | August 10 |
| Category:49-Mile Scenic Drive | Delete | August 14 |
| Category:Active extraterrestrial probes | Merge. I'm basically only dealing with the use of active in the category name here. I think the comments made by | August 9 |
| Category:Active MMORPGs | merge | August 24 |
| Category:Actors from Palo Alto, California | do not rename; this is without prejudice to a fresh nomination that proposes an upmerger; as noted, such a follow-up might be better as a broader nomination. | August 28 |
| Actresses by language | rename | August 31 |
| Category:African-American television drama series | Delete | August 9 |
| Category:Aga Khan Award for Architecture winners | delete | August 23 |
| Category:Alumni of the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design | result | August 3 |
| Category:American basketball players of Polish descent | delete (merge to appropriate Category:American people of XXX descent). | August 24 |
| Category:American beverage businesspeople | Merge to Category:American beverage industry businesspeople | August 3 |
| Category:American female film directors | Rename | August 4 |
| American male actors categories | Closed as Keep per concensus and request of nominator. Non-admin close by | August 8 |
| Category:American male radio actors | keep | August 12 |
| Category:American musicians of Polish descent | delete (upmerging to Category:American people of Polish descent). | August 24 |
| Category:Americans convicted of spying against Iran |  Relisted at 2013 SEP 17 CFD |
August 22 |
| Category:Amtrak stations in Siskiyou County, California | Upmerge to both parents. After the manual work is done, someone probably needs to look at whatever was not nominated and see if anything else should be discussed for a change | August 2 |
| Category:Anglican bishops of Connor & others | Rename | August 11 |
| Category:Anglican bishops of Limerick and Killaloe | Rename | August 20 |
| Category:Antimycotics for systemic use | speedy delete as empty (WP:CSD#C1) | August 9 |
| Category:Areas occupied by China after the Sino-Indian War | keep, but this is without prejudice to a fresh nomination that proposes a rename, such as the one proposed near the end of this discussion | August 28 |
| Category:Art films | Keep | August 2 |
| Category:Asian Indoor-Martial Arts Games | Rename | August 8 |
| Category:Association of Computing Machinery Distinguished Educators | Delete. With only 3 members, I don't see a need to listify Mordechai Ben-Ari, Michael Kölling and Richard E. Pattis | August 6 |
| Category:Australian Aboriginal place names | Delete | August 3 |
| Category:BAI Basket | Delete | August 14 |
| Category:Band 1 Schools of Hong Kong | Delete | August 5 |
| Category:BBC departments based in Greater Manchester | Delete | August 3 |
| Category:Best Animated Feature Film Chicago Film Critics Association Award winners | Delete | August 20 |
| Category:Boarding schools in Georgia (U.S. state) | Keep | August 1 |
| Category:Bozcaada | merge and redirect to Category:Tenedos | August 27 |
| Category:British architecture by period | Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 September 12 | August 14 |
| Category:Buildings and structures by John M. Trimble | Discussion completed / Category already Deleted. Non-admin close | August 18 |
| Category:Business people from India | speedy merge as duplicates; as noted, sole article has been deleted so there is nothing to merge | August 19 |
| Category:Cancelled military aircraft projects | no consensus | August 15 |
| Category:Cashless Emerging Economy | speedy deleted - part of a "Cloud Network Bank" promotion scheme, as was its content article | August 16 |
| Category:Cat superheroes | Merge | August 1 |
| Categories for Turkey before it existed | Delete. Some points were made in the discussion about options for other categorizations. Nothing in this close prevents those if they are justified by sources | August 15 |
| Category:Charlemagne Prize recipients | Delete | August 13 |
| Category:Chemical compounds found in animals | Delete. In checking I noticed the subcategories. Since there was no support to retain this, the question is the subcategories. They probably need a separate nomination. There may need to be a different discussion on some like toxins and hormones which may not be deletable under the logic used in this discussion | August 15 |
| Category:Christologists | no consensus. -- | August 19 |
| Category:Classic 100 Countdowns (ABC) | Withdrawn | August 27 |
| Classic 100 Countdowns | do not merge | August 27 |
| Category:Classical music genres (newly proposed) | Suspended/closed per request of User:LazyStarryNights. Non-admin close | August 13 |
| Category:Climbing terms | merge | August 11 |
| Category:Columbia University publications | do not rename; presumably, Category:Columbia University Press academic journals could just be created as a subcategory | August 31 |
| Category:Comics with cover art by Steve Ditko | Delete | August 1 |
| Category:Companies that have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy | no consensus. There does, on the whole, appear to be support for renaming to the shorter name; however, the counterpoint that doing so would make this category inconsistent within the structure of Category:Companies that have filed for bankruptcy in the United States is compelling. I encourage a follow-up nomination of that category, or of all 34 categories in the tree, in order to revisit the issue at a higher level. If tagging is an issue, I am (and editors in Category:Wikipedians who use AutoWikiBrowser might be) willing to assist. -- | August 1 |
| Converts from various religions | Keep. However concerns were raised about categories in this area so there may be a need to do something. So bringing some of this back, probably with changes, is OK | August 7 |
| Category:Current bishoprics in Ireland | merge Category:Current bishoprics in Ireland to Category:Bishoprics in Ireland; Category:Current Church of Ireland bishoprics to Category:Anglican bishops by diocese in Ireland; Category:Current Roman Catholic bishoprics in Ireland to Category:Roman Catholic bishops by diocese in Ireland. The "ALT 2" changes are a possibility, but some of the categories involved were not tagged and linked to this discussion, so we'll just do this for now, without prejudice to further changes being proposed. | August 25 |
| Category:Current Brigades of the British Army | Merge useful is not defining | August 12 |
| Category:Current Church of Ireland dioceses in Ireland | Merge | August 3 |
| Category:Current European Parliament party groups | Merge | August 14 |
| Category:Current Franche-Comté Regional Councillor | Rename to Category:Franche-Comté Regional Councillors. There is no support for the current category. There also does not appear to be a consensus to merge as proposed. I have no problem if there is an additional discussion/nomination if there is an issue with the new name | August 7 |
| Category:Current infantry regiments of the British Army | merge | August 23 |
| Category:Current members of the Cabinet of Puerto Rico | administrative close: see discussion (category was speedily deleted as empty prior to close) | August 1 |
| Category:Current ministerial offices in New South Wales | Merge | August 6 |
| Category:Czech women's football biography stubs | upmerge to Category:Czech football biography stubs and Category:Women's association football biography stubs. -- | August 23 |
| Category:Democide perpetrators | Delete | August 19 |
| Category:Democides | delete | August 24 |
| Category:Destroyed planets | Rename to Category:Fictional destroyed planets. While there was some discussion about the name, this is where the target consensus was. If you have a better name, feel free to discuss in a new nomination | August 11 |
| Category:Drake (entertainer) albums | Rename | August 15 |
| Category:Dutch female footballers | Merge | August 7 |
| Category:Early Childhood | speedy deletion WP:CSD#G1, hoax. The editor's deleted article Harold William Fletcher cited his source as "The Killers of St. Louis".Paperback.1994.Bob R. Gillian. I can find no record of such a book. – | August 11 |
| Category:Egyptian civil war | Delete: WP:SNOW and WP:CSD#G5. Also, Wikipedia:CSD#C1 will no doubt come into effect in a few days, too | August 17 |
| English cricketers | keep. (NAC) | August 17 |
| Category:Enlargement of international organizations | Rename | August 27 |
| Category:Ethnic enclaves in Australia | no consensus to delete. I find the arguments in favour of "keep" to be somewhat more persuasive | August 15 |
| Category:European Capitals of Sport | Delete | August 6 |
| Category:European Youth Capitals | Delete | August 11 |
| Category:Family and early life | administrative close: speedily deleted by another editor | August 26 |
| Category:Fashn villages | delete as empty under criteria C1 | August 15 |
| Category:Female film directors | Merge | August 17 |
| Category:Fiction of Northern Ireland | keep. – | August 6 |
| Category:Fictional heirs apparent who never acceded | Listify | August 1 |
| Category:Fictional trolls | Keep | August 12 |
| Category:Films by plot device | delete. (I would have said "merge", but the only contents is Plot device, and we probably don't want that article merged to Category:Films by topic.) | August 25 |
| Category:Films by Winsor McCay | rename | August 17 |
| Category:Films set in prison | no consensus to merge | August 4 |
| Category:First Ladies and Gentlemen of North Dakota | no consensus to rename as proposed. Anyone can start a nomination to propose a rename to Category:Spouses of Governors of North Dakota, either as a test nomination or as a group nomination | August 29 |
| Category:First Settlers of Wikipedia | delete (target is being deleted; see discussion immediately above) | August 10 |
| Category:Follow on Incremental Capabilities | merge. (I note that the main article for Category:BCT Modernization is BCT Modernization, so the target category seems to be correctly named.) | August 25 |
| Category:Football at the Pan Arab Games navigational boxes | merge to Category:Pan Arab Games navigational boxes and Category:Association football navigational boxes. | August 31 |
| Category:Football clubs with wrong foundation date on their club badge | Delete | August 11 |

| Category:Groups that resisted the Greek military junta of 1967–74 | rename to Category:Resistance to the Greek military junta of 1967–74 | August 25 |
| Category:Haskalah | August 4 | |
| Category:Hello Venus members | Withdrawn by nominator - Non-admin close | August 29 |
| Category:Hero System fans | Delete | August 4 |
| Category:Hibernating spacecraft | Delete. The merge opinion does not oppose deletion but the logic in the argument seems to imply that the editor would be OK with that outcome as not defining. If this aspect is of interest, editors can consider creating a template or a list | August 2 |
| High Courts of South Africa | rename | August 31 |
| Category:Hispanic and Latino American child actors | merge | August 22 |
| Historical regions in country to Historical regions of country | do not rename | August 21 |
| Category:History of Britain by period & Category:History of England by period | Keep. With a side note that the category was not tagged | August 6 |
| Category:Honorary degree recipients from the University of Girona | listify Category:Honorary degree recipients from the University of Girona. The other two categories are untagged, and therefore need a separate nomination. (NAC) | August 20 |
| Category:Hosts of the Rose of Tralee | delete | August 24 |
| Category:Images of Ralph Nader | No consensus. A few issues were not really addressed. Do we need an image category for everyone? The image in question is not of the person, but rather is a movie poster which happens to also include his image. The use of the movie poster is not free, so should it be used in a category like this? Do we categorize every movie poster by the individuals portrayed on the poster? As a movie poster it is not mysteriously named | August 3 |
| Category:Intel International Science and Engineering Fair | Delete. A lists exists | August 5 |
| Category:Islamophobic forgeries | no consensus to delete; there does seem to be a very rough consensus to rename | August 31 |
| Category:Italian football (soccer) First Division clubs | rename to Category:Italian football First Division clubs | August 23 |
| Category:Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize winners | Delete | August 9 |
| Category:Jharkhand media | Rename | August 2 |
| Category:John Rabe award recipients | Delete. Listify if you want, but there are only two articles, Teruyuki Kagawa and Andreas Maislinger, in the category so this will be a simple delete | August 7 |
| Category:Joint Electronics Type Designation System | Merge. Note that cleanup will be required since some of the entries are also in other subcategories. Some are also in the parent category, and grouping to follow the existing examples should be considered if the category becomes too large after cleanup | August 12 |
| Category:Kickboxing venues | delete | August 23 |
| Category:Kriegsmarine admirals | merge Category:Kriegsmarine World War II admirals to Category:Kriegsmarine admirals | August 16 |

| Category:Media in Bihar | Rename | August 2 |
| Category:Mediterranean Games host cities | Delete | August 9 |

| Category:Metatitle pop | delete | August 26 |
| Category:Metre | Rename to Category:Meter (music) | August 4 |
| [[:Category:Modern military equipment of <country>]] | Delete. I deleted all of these since they were empty as long as they had been nominated working from the list in the CfD category | August 8 |
| Category:Modern military equipment | rename | August 24 |
| Category:Moral philosophers | do not merge | August 15 |
| More Turkey categories | Delete. I did look at the articles mentioned and they are well categorized so deletion should be OK for those articles | August 28 |
| Category:More Turkey categories | Merge/Delete/Rename per nomination. Note the bot may not fix everything, so manual editing of categories may be required to complete this | August 26 |
| Category:Most-active volcanoes | delete per G7 (creator request). Note that in the future you can just say "go ahead and delete it" and the bot will handle it | August 5 |
| Category:Mountain biking venues in Wales | delete; none of the included articles are about venues which are mounting biking venues in the sense that Aston Hill Mountain Bike Area is a mountain biking venue | August 22 |
| Category:Movies on ship hijackings | rename, but without prejudice to a fresh nomination to consider deletion | August 25 |
| Category:Nada novel in Basque | speedy delete WP:CSD#G6 as in the wrong namespace. The text is a close Basque version of this version of Nada (novel), which is now redirected to the author. – | August 9 |
| Category:National museums of China | No consensus | August 2 |
| Category:National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame inductees | delete (upmerging to Category:American sportspeople of Polish descent) | August 23 |

| Category:People of the Parent-Teacher Association | delete | August 8 |
| Category:People who married their first cousins | delete. (I have expressed an opinion on similar categories in the past, but I think that the result here is clear; in any case G4 does apply.) | August 30 |
| Category:Peoria Rivermen players | Rename | August 13 |
| Category:PG-13 films that drop the F-bomb | f-ing deleted | August 15 |

| Category:Philippine Census footnote punctuation problems | delete | August 19 |
| Category:Philippine Census using left alignment | delete | August 19 |
| Category:Place names by location | Rename. Once the bot does it's work, editors can create the North and South America categories and move the content as appropriate. Any category emptied doing this cleanup should be nominated for speedy deletion as G6 per this discussion | August 2 |
| Category:Places Associated with Thomas Edison | Delete | August 10 |

| Category:Recipients of the Order of Courage (Libya) | Delete | August 20 |
| Category:Recipients of the Order Of The National Flag (North Korea) | Delete | August 25 |
| Category:Recipients of the Reih Bleeaney Vanannan | Delete. If someone wants to create the list, the contents were: Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, Robert Corteen Carswell, Mona Douglas and Brian Stowell. If it can be established that this is one of the exceptions for award categories, the category can be recreated. Recreation would be subject to another discussion here and that outcome would depend on the case made. If that happens, the discussion should be given a fresh start and this discussion should not be used as a precedent | August 10 |
| Category:Reign of Terror perpetrators | rename to Category:Jacobins | August 16 |
| Category:Reincarnation in novels | Relisted to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 September 14 | August 21 |

| Category:Sezen Aksu | delete | August 25 |
| Category:SIGMOD Edgar F. Codd Innovations Award winners | delete | August 26 |
| Category:Signers of the Humanist Manifesto | Delete. Well researched is not the same as defining | August 7 |
| Category:Singles certified by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand | procedural close as only one of 22 categories affected by this nomination was tagged. I will reopen a new discussion for all categories at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 September 15#Recording Industry Association of New Zealand. -- | August 10 |
| Category:Sirius Satellite Radio channels | keep, but consider narrowing the scope of the categories to include only those channels that are exclusive to Sirius/XM. I think that a strong case was made that these categories contain overcategorization of performances (channels) by venue (broadcaster), but the consensus in this case is that this could be addressed by tightening the inclusion criteria. -- | August 24 |
| Category:Snooker venues | no consensus to delete, though there seems to be a rough agreement that articles should only be placed in the category if this is a defining characteristic of the place, so a "purge" could be appropriate | August 11 |
| Category:Songs about Candy | delete | August 22 |
| Category:Songs written by Dave Berg | Speedy close and move to CFDS. Ten Pound Hammer • ( | August 11 |
| Category:Specialized firearms | Merge to Category:Firearms. The subcategories changed to have Category:Firearms by type as the parent. Editors to cleanup as needed | August 1 |
| Category:State auditors and comptrollers of the United States | merge. – | August 6 |
| Category:Superbombs | Delete. If someone wants to listify, the contents were: BLU-82, Bouncing bomb, Castle Bravo, Divine Strake, Doomsday device, Earthquake bomb, Father of All Bombs, GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, Grand Slam (bomb), Ivy King, Ivy Mike, Mark 17 nuclear bomb, Massive Ordnance Penetrator, Nuclear bunker buster, Perseus (munition), T-12 Cloudmaker, Tallboy (bomb), Tsar Bomba, Tsunami bomb | August 15 |
| Category:Superstitions of Alaska | delete (merge to Category:Alaska culture) | August 30 |
| Category:Superweapons | merge | August 30 |
| Syrian Categories | Merge/rename/delete. Consensus was that the current name is not correct. While there may be some objection to Ottoman Syria, further upmerges to Ottoman Empire can be considered in the future if that is really needed | August 31 |
| Category:Television awards for Best Younger Actor | merge both to Category:Awards for young actors and actresses; once it is populated as discussed, feel free to nominate the new category for deletion if users still feel it is inappropriate | August 26 |
| Category:Telugu film actors | Rename | August 5 |
| Category:Terrorism in India since 2001 | Delete | August 6 |
| Category:The Narrative (band) | delete | August 25 |
| Category:Therapeutics | Merge and cleanup. Consensus is that a cleanup is needed. I'll let the experts sort this out | August 4 |
| Category:Tom French Cup winners | Delete. I was going to recommend a list but it exists in the main article | August 10 |
| Category:TR35 winners | delete | August 23 |
| Category:Transformers people | delete | August 21 |
| Category:U.S. Highway System | Close. The only way to have a valid discussion would be to start a wheel war which is not going to happen. So this discussion is closed since the source is empty. I'll leave it to the participants to decide on what, if any, actions are needed. In no way should this close be considered as setting any kind of a precedent for naming in this area | August 20 |
| Category:Unincorporated communities in Dunn County, Wisconsin | Keep, at least for now. If you look, we categorize by city, municipality, town, township, unincorporated communities, village, hamlet, borough and probably a few more. Now is that the correct way to do it and if so, how far down the tree should those distinctions be carried? I don't think this discussion is the place to make the decision since it has broader impact and the question needs to be asked in a broader forum. Maybe an RFC? Also, is this a question that just affects the US or is there one answer that covers the entire world? | August 3 |
| Category:Unincorporated communities in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin | Keep, at least for now. If you look, we categorize by city, municipality, town, township, unincorporated communities, village, hamlet, borough and probably a few more. Now is that the correct way to do it and if so, how far down the tree should those distinctions be carried? I don't think this discussion is the place to make the decision since it has broader impact and the question needs to be asked in a broader forum. Maybe an RFC? Also, is this a question that just affects the US or is there one answer that covers the entire world? | August 3 |
| Unincorporated communities in Wisconsin by county | restore. There is agreement that these may exist. The immediate problem is who is going to re-populate them—this may take some time to accomplish. They will rest in Category:Unincorporated communities in Wisconsin by coutry | August 12 |
| Category:United States defence procurement | Moved to CFR-Speedy by nominator. Non-admin close by | August 27 |
| Category:United States television episode stubs | delete/merge to Category:Television episode stubs | August 26 |

| Category:Wikipedians by profession | keep. (NAC) | August 28 |
| Category:Wikipedians who use Gmail | Delete | August 9 |
| Category:Wikipedians who use Microsoft Windows | Delete all | August 20 |
| Category:Women writers from Oklahoma | Upmerge | August 13 |
| Category:Women's football leagues in Norway | No consensus. The discussion raises bigger questions about the related categories. So maybe a border nomination to address border issues would be the best way forward | August 14 |
| Category:Wonders of the World | Delete | August 28 |
| Category:Wonders of the world | Delete | August 28 |
| Category:World War I American electronics | no consensus | August 20 |
| Category:World War II British electronics | no consensus | August 20 |
| Year in Utah before it was a state | Rename. Note that I did fix about 5 spelling errors in the target categories. If anyone has an objection to this leave me a talk name and I'll change them back | August 23 |
| Category:Years in Indian association football navigational boxes | rename | August 22 |
| Years in the Republic of Upper Volta | Rename. While this nomination may have been the result of my suggestion at the end of one of the failed discussions below, I did not take sides. In the discussion here, I think there is a clear consensus for this result, especially when considering the comments in the previous discussion | August 14 |
| Category:Yoga and sex scandals | delete | August 22 |
| Category:Youth empowerment individuals | rename as nominated | August 24 |
| Category:Zoids releases | Withdrawn by nominator - Non-admin close | August 29 |
