  • Comment - shouldn't it be "Liquefied" anyway, or is that another UK/US difference? Grutness...wha? 00:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's correct, according to the Liquefied natural gas article should be "liquefied". I don't think that UK/US spelling difference rule applies here. Concerning "Liquefied Natural Gas", there is no established rule to use Capitalized version for the full term (although sometimes that is used). The main article of LNG series (Liquefied natural gas) spells it without capitalization, so categories should follow same standard. Different thing is with acronym LNG, which is always written with capital letters.Beagel (talk) 14:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not a speedy with that spelling change hidden in there. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Police officers indicted for murder. After the bots transfer the articles, I'll go through and weed out the non-applicable articles. Feel free to double check my work on this. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Police officers accused of murder (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Potential NPOV disaster. There are no rules given for the category and the category is open to interpretation. Some of those the category has been applied to have never been charged with any offence, Then there is the issue of what constitutes murder. Kernel Saunters (talk) 18:07, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It seems like a bad idea to have "[people] accused of [a crime]" categories due to WP:BLP problems. "[People] convicted of [a crime]" would be more acceptable, though. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Police Officers charged with murder. The "charged" part seems less open to interpretation than "accused". For the "murder" part, you only use it when the court involved actually recognizes it as murder.--Rockfang (talk) 20:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why does being accused or charged make this notable? Literally is there anyone who is notable that has not been accused or charged for something. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the combination of "police officer" and "murder" helps with notability. It is not (at least to my knowledge) common for police officers to be charged with murder.--Rockfang (talk) 09:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, it's extremely unusual for police officers to be charged with murder. I think the word we want here is "indicted", since that is the formal legal term, whereas both "accuse" and "charged" can be used informally. So rename to Category:Police officers indicted for murder. Cgingold (talk) 10:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Guidelines suggestion would be 'Includes police officers indicted by a recognised court of law for murder.. Note that many/most of the people in the category in question do not qualify for this rename suggestion so would need to be removed Kernel Saunters (talk) 10:41, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator agrees to rename with guidelines as in my previous post Kernel Saunters (talk) 12:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Political parties in Soviet Union (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Please delete this one, i misspellt the title when creating the category. Soman (talk) 15:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the creator, all you have to do to get it Speedy Deleted is tag the category page with {{db-author}}. Cgingold (talk) 20:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fictional mad scientists. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:List of mad scientists to Category:Mad scientists
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The category title does not match the general naming conventions for categories. None of the articles in the category seem to be lists. I also wouldn't mind Category:Fictional mad scientists, as this category is a subcategory of Category:Fictional scientists and all the articles seem to be about fictional characters who fit the mad scientist stock character. Gentgeen (talk) 08:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All are fictional - see above. Johnbod (talk) 23:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:RAFVR wartime service to Category:Royal Air Force Voluntary Reserve personnel of World War II
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Unclear to most reader what the initials stand for and the RAFVR has fought in more than one war. Kernel Saunters (talk) 02:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
