Propose renaming Category:FIFA Club World Championship to Category:FIFA Club World Cup
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The competition is no longer known as the FIFA Club World Championship, and hasn't been since 2005. – PeeJay 23:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Our Gang directors (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Propose renaming Category:Rutgers Law - Newark graduates to Category:Rutgers Law - Newark alumni
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To be consistent Category:Alumni by university or college in the United States. Archfeminist (talk) 19:23, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Every single law school in the United States that is part of a greater university has it's own alumni category. --Archfeminist (talk) 22:53, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bilateral relations[edit]

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: Keep. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:Bilateral relations to Category:???
Nominator's rationale: Merge, I believe that all articles in this category need to be placed in their relevant categories, e.g. Australian-Maltese relations is placed in Category:Bilateral relations of Australia and Category: Bilateral relations of Malta, with each of those categories being placed in Category:Foreign relations of Australia and Category:Foreign relations of Malta, respectively. Category:Bilateral relations should only contain Category:Bilateral relations of Foo categories. In the event that there are categories in the format of Foo1-Foo2 relations, e.g. Category:Russia–Ukraine relations, the chief article for the category, in this example it is Russia–Ukraine relations, should only be placed in the Foo1-Foo2 relations category, with that category being place in Category:Bilateral relations of Foo1 and Category:Bilateral relations of Foo2, with the example, Russia–Ukraine relations having Category:Bilateral relations of Russia and Category:Bilateral relations of Ukraine removed, leaving only Category:Russia–Ukraine relations. Being placed here due to the expectation of meeting resistance from some, and to gather a wider concensus from the community --Россавиа Диалог 15:54, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep this is a parent category for all the other bilateral relations categories and articles and as such is needed for navigation and organization--two reasons why categories are created and continue to exist. Hmains (talk) 16:23, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question Am I correct in assuming that you want the current setup left how it is, so that Category:Bilateral relations could potentially have approx 20,000 (200+199+198+197+196+195+194+193+192.......+5+4+3+2+1) articles in it? --Россавиа Диалог 16:29, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think the suggestion is that this should contain only 200 subcategories. Bilateral relations of Albania, bilateral relations of Armenia... bilateral relations of Zimbabwe. And that those cats should then contain however many articles exist. --JayHenry (talk) 03:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ooops, my bad, going back and reading it again, I see that it was the suggestion was, inline with my nom. --Россавиа Диалог 12:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and subcategorise as suggested by nom into Category:Bilateral relations of Australia etc. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 16:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but it should be a parent category only. Alternatively, Rename to Category:Foreign relations by country or Category:International relations by country. "Russia–Ukraine relations" would then appear in Russian and Ukranian categories (etc.). This would produce a rational category tree. I think that it would only be about 10,000 articles, since we would not need both "Russia–Ukraine relations" and "Ukraine-Russia relations", but I suspect that only a limited number of articles for some smaller countries will ever be created. They often have one embassy covering several countries that are remote from them. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as parent category with Bilateral relations of X country as the subcategories. Specific X-Y relations articles belong in the Bilateral relations of X and Bilateral relations of Y categories. That's the most logical hierarchy that I can think of. --JayHenry (talk) 03:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and support JayHenry solution.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 17:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: As discussion on this issue is not yet closed, why is Диалог running an automated bot changing/deleting and renaming these categories as per his own proposals? Having raised the issue for discussion, should not the discussion be closed before wholesale changes are made? --MChew (talk) 12:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Polish-Americans[edit]

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: merge to Category:Americans of Polish descent. As noted below, there are lots of recent precedents to make this change, and there is nothing new presented to make this the exception. BencherliteTalk 17:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Polish-Americans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: It appears to be overcategorization and an undefining characteristic for many. More importantly, every time I see an edit regarding this category, it always seems to be a revert, whether putting it back in or taking it back out. It may be better just to not have it, since it seems to cause a lot of problems. Renaming to Category:Americans of Polish descent would fix the problems. Wizardman 14:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep This is part of a pattern of categories and the many Polish Americans are not to be discriminated against by not allowing them to have a category of their own. The edit history of this category shows no reverts; if nominator is saying articles/subcats are added/subtracted from this category, well, that is how things work at WP when article editors are sorting out the truth of things. This is no reason at all to delete a category. Hmains (talk) 16:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • REname Category:Americans of Polish descent. WE have had a long series of nominations recently for these dual nationality categories. A few have been retained for specific reasons, but the majority have eben altered to this form. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as per User:Peterkingiron's suggested renaming (actually, likely a merge) Mayumashu (talk) 17:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per suggestion by Peterkingiron. Defining characteristic but ambiguous title. Dimadick (talk) 17:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Hmains & many precedents. Neutral/rather against on rename - I favour the Foos of X descent formula normally, but not for the best known American combinations, of which this is one, which avoid the usual ambiguity. Johnbod (talk) 18:24, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and do not rename - American ethnic groups have distinct histories and relate to the overall society in ways that are not necessarily comparable to the situations that may obtain in other parts of the world. Renaming these to conform to the X-nationality of Y-descent pattern would not be acceptable. Cgingold (talk) 18:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
and how do you decide who is 'Polish American' and who is merely 'American of Polish descent'? half ancestry qualifies and less does not? the article page Polish Americans documents distinctiveness but category pages need to be clear, and not incorporate arbitrariness Mayumashu (talk) 19:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not rename (no opinion on keep/delete). "Descent" as applied correctly is overinclusive and undefining because it includes people with any Polish ancestor. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But so does 'Polish-American', or is the description Polish American wrong? Mayumashu (talk) 01:39, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and do not rename per User:Cgingold. I also recommend deleting Category:Americans of Swiss descent and changing it back to the correct Category:Swiss Americans. --Wassermann (talk) 03:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and do not rename per many above. I think the term 'Fooian American' is usually well known and understood. (The article Polish American states "A Polish American is an American citizen of Polish descent." I don't think we are at liberty to vary this definition.) -- roundhouse0 (talk) 11:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per brewcrewer and roundhouse0 and others. Polish American specifically states that they are "American citizen of Polish descent". So I don't see how renaming to "Americans of Polish descent" causes a problem with the word "descent" or how it somehow "changes the definition" of Polish American. They are giving reasons to rename, not keep. Plus, there is lots of precedent for the rename. --Kbdank71 17:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Diplomatic missions by host country[edit]

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: no consensus. Kbdank71 17:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Diplomatic missions by host country to Category:Lists of diplomatic missions by host country
Nominator's rationale: After much disagreement over what does and doesn't belong in this category, I am bringing this here so tht the larger community can comment. I believe this category should be renamed to Category:Lists of diplomatic missions by country with all of the actual lists (articles) in this category, e.g. Diplomatic missions in Russia to be moved to that category, with the actual categories, e.g Category:Diplomatic missions in Russia to remain in this category. This would solve an impasse as to whether Category:Diplomatic missions in Russia belongs in this category or not, and whether Diplomatic missions in Russia belongs in both Category:Diplomatic missions in Russia and Category:Diplomatic missions by host country, because as one can see that as of now, there is no way to easy navigate from Category:Diplomatic missions in Russia to say Category:Diplomatic missions in France. If there are better categorisation possibilities, we need to hear them. Россавиа Диалог 14:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Russavia, your example begs to be satirised. Seriously though, why should we make all these recategories to accomodate a rare example like you have cited? And anyway, to answer your question, a user would go Embassy of Brazil in Moscow -> Diplomatic missions of Brazil -> Category:Diplomatic missions by country -> Diplomatic missions of Northern Cyprus -> Category:Diplomatic missions of Northern Cyprus -> Embassy of Northern Cyprus in Ankara.
Instead of creating all those stubs and categories, and then expecting Wikipedia to accomodate your taxonomy, why don't you for once create some actual content? Kransky (talk) 10:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The route you explained I believe shows that you don't understand how categorisation works on WP, for one should not have to navigate by way of articles, categories are designed for that specific purpose, and this can be attested to by the above editors who have also seen a need to recategorise. --Россавиа Диалог 06:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lists by receiving country are certainly needed too, possibly called "by destination". The article version that you referred to could have been useful, but I suspect the information on Russian missions in WP is less well developed than that of some other countries. For the United Kingdom, there are lists of ambassadors from Britain to each particular country, often stretching back into the 18th century or beyond. I think there may be articles in the embassies too, but the lists would be much better if they led to some specific article. That might be done as a dab link to the word "embassy". This is not an area that I am working on, but have occasionally dabbled with British embassies when producing biographies of those who were for a time members of Parliament. I suspect that giving the name of the current ambassador (as in the article version that you cited) would be a maintenance nightmare. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:29, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am actually now leaning towards Category:Lists of diplomatic missions for the lists, and Category:Diplomatics mission by sending country and Category:Diplomatic missions by receiving country for the categories, country specific list and individual mission articles, as per usage of terms in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (what a hedonistic 6 weeks that convention must have been). In terms of the diplomatic missions of Russia article I developed, there are 2 main reasoning points for the inclusion of heads of mission in the list. Firstly, inline with official usage of the terms as per the Vienna Convention, a diplomatic mission refers to the official physical human representational presence of one country in another, and the mission is required to have a head of mission (an ambassador or high commissioner, or other as per articles in the Convention); they are an essential part of a diplomatic mission, and they are usually notable people. Secondly, as you pointed out, information on non-US/UK/Canadian/a few other countries missions on WP are sorely lacking, and their inclusion is aimed at helping to alleviate the bias that is somewhat endemic on WP; it will encourage further article development; it may take some time, but relevant redlinks are important. In regards to embassy article links, the linking to specific articles which can cover both the mission as covered by the definition of the V.C.D.R., and by what has also become another word for the mission chancery, is more evident in this list. In regards to maintenance of the heads of missions (ambassadors, etc), it is a really easy process to do, as most foreign ministries around the world maintain a diplomatic list, and make this list available. --Россавиа Диалог 11:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Russavia - could we deal with one new idea at a time? I am not comfortable with including lists of ambassadors in articles about "diplomatic missions" (in an archaic sense a mission is the people, but under modern usage the term refers to the buildings and the institution of an embassy). As mentioned I strongly suggest ambassadors (or "Heads of Mission") are listed in separate articles. I also do not like cumbersome terms "receiving country" and "sending country". Kransky (talk) 13:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note that "sending State" and "receiving State" are terms used in the Vienna Conference on Diplomatic Relations. Kransky (talk) 00:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
maybe so, but 'country' is the convention/standard in WP, not 'state'. Hmains (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Russavia, but your List of diplomatic missions in Russia article is poorly designed. I would not use a table in the way you have - the photographs are too small in cells, and the repetition of countries with multiple missions in Russia across the same column looks awkward. Some ideas you have are good. This isn't one of them. Kransky (talk) 10:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is your opinion Kransky as we are all entitled to it, but my opinion is, is that the table is very well designed, but as List of Presidents of Venezuela, List of Prime Ministers of Canada, List of Governors of California, List of Australian Leaders of the Opposition, and a whole host of other featured lists show, the smaller images are OK and in some cases necessary, and don't retract from the ability of a list from reaching featured list status. With nearly 40 images so far in that article, and more to come due to myself 'recruiting' people in Moscow and Saint Petersburg to supply photos, such a setup is desired so that it is formatted, all available space on the page is used, and everything fits into place. You need to remember that lists exist for the main part for reaching articles, they don't exist just for a list of this and that. But again, this is best suited to a discussion on content, not on the categories. However, on categories, if you take a look at this article as of this edit, you will notice that the only way to use that article as it stood then to navigate to other articles was by the massive see also list - a well designed and formatted article wouldn't need that see also list, the links would be part of the article itself. --Россавиа Диалог 17:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You might think your table is very well designed - just as all mothers love their babies. I just hope you are not going to be wasting your time because it looks like a nomination for AfD on the grounds that it duplicates Diplomatic missions of Russia. Kransky (talk) 11:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And as I have said on a couple of previous occasions, go ahead and AfD anything you deem fit for AfD. --Россавиа Диалог 06:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Our Gang kids[edit]

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: delete as a list already exists. Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Our Gang kids (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - performer by performance overcategorization. Otto4711 (talk) 13:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep this is certainly not categorization by performance; these people are members of an historical and recognizable acting group and are categorized appropriate, as such. Hmains (talk) 16:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and listify - Though rather older than many cases, this fits well with performer by performance overcategorization. This is applied as much to TV series as to single performances. the fact that this is an earlier case of it should make no difference. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment read the article. This is a series of cinema movies ending in 1944; nothing to do with TV which hardly existed then. Hmains (talk) 19:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would say that it's not at all accurate. The Monty Python troupe membership was small and stable (more or less, Cleese did leave for the final series of the TV show). Kids were cycled in and out of the Our Gang films as desired by the producers. We don't characterize actors based on film series. Category:Thin Man film actors or Category:Jaws actors would be deleted. Otto4711 (talk) 16:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete 55 members seems too many for the Monty Python exception. Even when some are dogs. Johnbod (talk) 01:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Songs about rainbows (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - Why are there so many songs about rainbows? Well, there really aren't, and in fact none of the songs in this category are about rainbows at all. I Won't Last a Day Without You contains the lyric "when there's no getting over that rainbow," Over the Rainbow is about the land that's over the rainbow, The Rainbow Connection is about songs about rainbows (of which there are few apparently), Rainbow in the Dark is apparently about Ronnie James Dio's former band Rainbow and She's a Rainbow is about a woman. This additionally suffers from the vague inclusion criteria that has doomed so many other Songs about categories. Otto4711 (talk) 13:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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: keep Category:Songs of World War I as it is; rename Category:American Civil War songs to Category:Songs of the American Civil War. BencherliteTalk 17:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Songs of World War I to Category:to be determined by consensus
Propose renaming Category:American Civil War songs to Category:to be determined by consensus
Nominator's rationale: Discuss. These are examples of the two different naming formats under the parent Category:Songs by war. We should standardize. My preference is for Songs of (war name) because (War name) songs could be construed to include songs written about the war but not during the war. Otto4711 (talk) 12:37, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment actually, this is part of a larger problem in the parent category Category:Songs by theme in which some category names start with 'Song' and some end with 'song' Hmains (talk) 16:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • In looking at the parent, a number of the Songs about foo categories would become ambiguous if renamed to Foo songs. Songs about California would become ambiguous if renamed to California songs for instance. Otto4711 (talk) 21:34, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: Is this intended as a test case to establish which is the preferred formulation? I'm guessing that you intend to follow up by renaming the other sub-cats. Cgingold (talk) 02:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, sorry, I should have made it explicit that this is a test case. Otto4711 (talk) 19:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete the two empties, rename the other. Kbdank71 17:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur Province to Category:Tierra del Fuego Province (Argentina)
Propose renaming Category:Cities in Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur Province to Category:Cities in Tierra del Fuego Province (Argentina)
Propose renaming Category:People from Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur Province to Category:People from Tierra del Fuego Province (Argentina)
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match name of article (Tierra del Fuego Province (Argentina)) which was renamed through RM. Failed speedy rename, but two of these were already renamed before the renaming admin noticed the objection, so I intend this discussion to stand for all three. Pfainuk talk 09:21, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the idea from Pfainuk. Even the previous name of the article on the province would be better. Having it in spanish when there is English usage is silly. Though, two of these catagories are empty, one has three empties....is this a precursor to a push to expand them, Pfain? Narson (talk) 10:24, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • It'd be quite good (though categories aren't normally my thing), but this is by accident more than by design :). Basically I nominated them for speedy renaming, and someone objected that they didn't meet the criteria. But the objection was put under all three to cover all of them and when an admin came along to rename them, s/he didn't notice the objection until after s/he'd already moved two of the categories (without deleting the originals). I figured since the third would have to be renamed through CFD anyway I might as well go for consensus for all three, that way to avoid any process dispute. Pfainuk talk 10:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename/merge per nom. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 12:47, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename/merge per nom. Better known in the English language by this form. Justin talk 13:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as nom. Category names should in my view be no longer than necessary for clarity. However, is "cities" an appropraite category for an area so little inhabited? Would not "towns and villages" be better? I am not an expert here and would bow to the views of others. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • All the other Argentine provinces use Cities in..., though other than that I don't have any strong objection. For info, there are two reasonably-sized settlements in the province (Río Grande and Ushuaia). From my guidebooks to Argentina I could only find evidence of one other town - Tolhuin - plus several estancias on Tierra del Fuego island. Falklands/South Georgian/Antarctic settlements clearly shouldn't be included for POV reasons. Pfainuk talk 08:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: To be in line with general practice, I propose to merge Category:Wind power stations by country to Category:Wind farms by country and Category:Wind power stations in Canada to Category:Wind farms in Canada, and to rename Category:Wind power stations in Hong Kong to be Category:Wind farms in Hong Kong.

  • Delete! And move to the bad jokes section. And that Gwen Stefani song isn't included in the category either. Lugnuts (talk) 09:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and move to WP:DAFT. Thats even worse than the "Songs about Rainbows" category above. Here because I'm here (talk) 20:50, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Buddhism and current issues to Category:to be determined by consensus
Nominator's rationale: This name is hopelessly vague; apparently the West and women are current issues (?). Entries seem to be a mish-mash of political theories (Buddhist anarchism and Buddhist economics), articles related to women (Ordination of women and Women as theological figures, note also that these are not specifically articles about Buddhism) and 20th/21st century institutions (International Congress on Buddhist Women's Role in the Sangha and World Buddhist Forum.) My gut reaction is to delete this altogether since I cannot figure out any consistent rationale for why an article is included in this, but if someone else can, please propose a more intelligible name. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 00:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Views? Well, what is "views by religion?" This category seems like another hodge-podge of social issues, political ideologies, identity politics, and almost anything that has to do with a religion and something else. This category is itself hopelessly vague - aren't Christian philosophies "Christian viewpoints?" Don't Bahá'í texts express "Bahá'í teachings?" Other than articles on places or biographies, very little under the main heading of any religious category couldn't fit this one. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 06:03, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
