Category:Baptist denominations and churches in North America (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Propose renaming Category:Baptist denominations and churches in North America to Category:Baptist denominations of North America
(Proposed category name is changed from "in" to "of" North America -- much more common format.--Carlaude (talk) 04:21, 4 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]
  • Rename - There is a whole struture of categories of on denominations-- and a whole separate struture of categories of on church (building)s. "Denominations and churches" is unclear and confusing as people will sometimes use the term "church" to mean a "denomination". There are already:
Category:Baptist churches in the United States
Category:Baptist churches in Canada
Category:Baptist denominations
Category:Christian denominations of North America
--Carlaude (talk) 01:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is certainly a problem here, but I don't think an independent church is a denomination - is the intention to remove these from the category? A note on the category defining its scope and pointing to alternatives for buildings etc would be the first step. Johnbod (talk) 14:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think I only found one or two churches the category to begin with, but my intention is make this category clear-- clearly about denominations and not independent churches or church buldings also, so that its loction in other categories is clear. I want to remove it from the the Category:Baptist churches, etc.-- and eliminate and perceved need to keep a page in both "Category:Baptist denominations" and "Category:Baptist denominations and churches in North America" when they can just be put in "Category:Baptist denominations in North America"
I also think it would be unclear what is meant by an "independent" Baptist church (all Baptist church independent in goverment, and some with the word "independent" in the name may still work with a denomination)-- but better to have "independent" Baptist church in own category or no category than mix them in with Baptist denominations.--Carlaude (talk) 15:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Reformed Church (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Comment Support generally - Category:Reformed denominations is itself not the clearest term & should probably be renamed, maybe to Category:Calvinist denominations. Whilst broadly Calvinist churches seem to be the only ones to use "Reformed" in their titles, the term is often used elsewhere with a wide range of meanings - see the current version of English Reformation which is desperate to avoid any statement referring to the 16th century Church of England as "Protestant", so uses "reformed" instead! That certainly doesn't mean Calvinist. Johnbod (talk) 14:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would not personally object to Category:Calvinist denominations but I have never known such groups use that term, at least not formally. Their very anit-saint outlook seems to move them avoid naming themselves or denominations or churches after any human, like Calvin. Theology can be "Calvinist" or "Reformed" but churches, formally speaking, are "Reformed".
Maybe, Category:Calvinist and Reformed denominations would still work for them.--Carlaude (talk) 16:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Types[edit]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Kbdank71 13:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Types (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Association solely by the word 'type'. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think it's at useful parent category for those it contains. --Eliyak T·C 00:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment doesn't this duplicate Category:Categories by type ? 70.51.8.75 (talk) 05:33, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, at least not at the lower levels. So a merge might not be the right solution. Types of and by type have traditionally been used for two very different types of classification. The first list classes of the object and the second lists members of a class. The first is generally only used when there is a significant number of different types. Using a real example, if you wanted to see the articles about the various types of roller coasters, then you would look in Category:Types of roller coasters. If you wanted to find coasters of a specific type you would look in Category:Roller coasters by type. The former is not a structure and the latter is. Both are members of Category:Roller coasters. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:33, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Category:Categories by type, thouigh I'm not sure we need either. Johnbod (talk) 14:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • One affect of the classification from my above comment, is that Category:Types will never be inclusive since the vast majority of things to be included would never have enough article to necessitate a category. You could say the same for the other, but there will be many more categories of that type, think of all of the Category:Foo by city categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • If this category is deleted, then it would be fair to propose Category:Categories by type for deletion. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I think that this cat has 2 problems. First is that the word "type" is horrifically vague. And further, the category's inclusion criteria seems to be any category with "Types of" or "X types" in the name. And finally, the category suggests a pseudo-naming convention to suggest that other categories should be named this way. When instead, the categories should be probably named to more specific names. For example, Category:Comics types was renamed to Category:Comics formats. Now the new name is clearer, but it now would seem to disallow inclusion in the "types" category, even though the category membership hasn't changed, and "formats" are still "types" of comics. "Types" is a convention that I think should be deprecated. (And perhaps even noted at WP:NCCAT as a "word to avoid".) - jc37 13:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pharmaceutical recalls (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete - More cleanup of Category:Drugs: This category was created for a single, one-sentence article -- which has been proposed for merger into another article. As far as I'm aware, there are no other articles about Pharmaceutical recalls. (We do have an entire Category:Withdrawn drugs, but that is a different issue.)

Category:Image copyright tags[edit]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Kbdank71 13:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Image copyright tags to Category:Wikipedia image copyright templates
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This is a follow up to this discussion where a rename for this category was discussed but it was never tagged. This rename would match the one for the other category in the discussion (Category:Wikipedia copyright templates). It would also match the name the parent Category:Image namespace templates and replace the confusing word 'tag'. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Kbdank71 13:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: Rename to be more in line with these categories' actual usage. --Eliyak T·C 19:00, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom, but hasn't the wrong Jewish category been included? See the parent. Johnbod (talk) 14:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. And yes, Oceania can be considered a continent, as the article states. This rename seems to bring the names more into line with what they actually contain, which is "by continent" subcategories. I don't see any regions included that can't be considered continents.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Kbdank71 13:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Act of War series (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category only covers two directly related articles and an unnecessary template. There is no need to categorize such a small scope of articles. TTN (talk) 18:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- In few weeks i wanted to nominated this for deletion. Did not have the time for it. So thanks. --SkyWalker (talk) 03:05, 3 October 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: rename/split per below (my bot will rename to Category:Bridges on the National Register of Historic Places, then I'll poke Appraiser to manually remove the tunnels to its own category. Kbdank71 13:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Bridges and tunnels that are Registered Historic Places to Category:Bridges and tunnels on the National Register of Historic Places
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The old name is incorrect syntax Appraiser (talk) 15:24, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That would be OK, although the vast majority are bridges.--Appraiser (talk) 18:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did see that, but there were a number of tunnels so that category would be well populated. It also provides a cleaner roll up into the parents of Category:Bridges in the United States and Category:Tunnels in the United States. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As well as making it an awful lot easier to find the tunnels, since they're currently strewn amongst the bridges. Cgingold (talk) 19:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed.--Appraiser (talk) 19:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(modified) Propose renaming Category:Bridges and tunnels that are Registered Historic Places to Category:Bridges on the National Register of Historic Places. I'll manually change the ~12 tunnels to Category:Tunnels on the National Register of Historic Places if there are no objections.--Appraiser (talk) 14:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the new proposal. I'm not sure if that's technically a renaming, or a category split into two names, but in any case, we should call them "Category:____s on the National Register of Historic Places" per recent talk at WT:NRHP. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Clearly this would then be a split. However if at the end of the discussion the tunnels category was created, that could be removeed from the combined parent and then only a rename would be left and that could be processed by the bots. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the modified proposal. Cgingold (talk) 01:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Babes in Toyland singles to Category:Babes in Toyland songs
Nominator's rationale: Rename. A list of categories: Foo singles to Foo songs as per naming convention. Wolfer68 (talk) 07:00, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all per nom and per the text 'There is also consensus that no artist should have a "singles" category' of the parent Category:Songs by artist. Occuli (talk) 09:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all per nom and per convention.-choster (talk) 22:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Kbdank71 13:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Central Highland Tasmania to Category:Central Highlands (Tasmania)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Moved from speedy. I originally suggested "Central Highlands Tasmania", but have changed the rename proposal per the comments below. (Note that Matilda's comment may have had reference to the original proposal, not the revised one. I'm not trying to make it look like she agreed with the new name if that was not her intent.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Moved from WP:CFDS at this point.
  • Support - I had created the category and modified the central highlands council article to get some regional issues in Tasmania sorted out - and had asked for a speedy (sic) thanks to all for the support - my mistake for being singular when it should have been plural - as for (Tasmania) there is actual usage of the unbracketed form in books and online materials - I had created the Central Highlands article and category to be parallel to but not embroiled with the Central Highlands local government article - as the usage goes beyond the actual boundaries of that authority in usage: for the general edification of all the edit that might shine light on the issue http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Central_Highlands_(Tasmania)&diff=92012815&oldid=30080242 - and typically there are commercial usages without any sign of such http://www.centralhighlands.com/ SatuSuro 02:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Corporate categories of Norway to Category:Categories named after companies of Norway
Nominator's rationale: Rename for compliance with its siblings in Category:Categories named after companies, as well as being clearer about the purpose of the category. choster (talk) 02:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename. Seems sensible and uncontroversial. The existing name is ratter ambiguous. __meco (talk) 08:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
