The result of the discussion was: keep. Sometimes a little inelegance is needed for clarity.--Mike Selinker (talk) 08:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Georgia (U.S. state) state courts to Category:Georgia U.S. state courts
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Avoiding repeating words. Brandmeister t 22:13, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this is worse as the parsing is now ambiguous especially for readers unfamiliar with the US state/federal court system. Even if we wanted to avoid repeating the word state, this would need to be Category:Georgia (U.S.) state courts (which is not much of an improvement). Yes, the title is slightly awkward but the same is true of other Georgia categories and it's consistent. It's not our fault they chose another country's name. :-) Pichpich (talk) 02:21, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't the US state the one named first in the 1700's? Vegaswikian (talk) 06:25, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good question! No definite answer I suppose. Pichpich (talk) 11:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As for the non-Georgia states below I disagree since their namings could be improved much easier than Georgia. Brandmeister t 19:48, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose ambiguous name. Are these supposed to be any court in the US state of Georgia, or are they state-level courts in the US state of Georgia? Both meanings apply to the proposed name. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 05:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose as ambiguous. The anon is correct here. Additionaly, the "U.S." is a disambiguator, and should be in parentheses. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:00, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Royal elections in Poland.--Mike Selinker (talk) 08:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Free election to Category:Elections in Poland
Nominator's rationale: Merge. The main article for this was renamed to Royal elections in Poland. However with only 2 articles, I think that a simple upmerge to one of the parent categories would be the better option. Both articles are already in the history tree so this merge would leave them there. I will note that I removed Category:Monarchy since that does not appear to be appropriate here since this is about elections. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rename as above; potentially 13 articles going by the navbox! Hugo999 (talk) 04:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Professional golfers who have hit an albatross (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Amounts to trivia, WP:OC#TRIVIA. May be made into a list but it would be a long list. Tewapack (talk) 19:51, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:PGA Tour left-handed golfers to Category:Left-handed golfers
Nominator's rationale: Too narrow categorization. Rename would allow addition of golfers from other tours, e.g. Peter Dawson (golfer), Richard Green (golfer), Bonnie Bryant (golfer). Tewapack (talk) 19:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Can you explain why being left-handed is defining? I should also add that Category:Left handed athletes was deleted long ago. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:49, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not a defining characteristic for golfers. Holes don't get shorter if you're left-handed, greens aren't designed to be more complicated for right-handers, opponents are not confused by your style of play, etc. Pichpich (talk) 02:28, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lesbian pornographic film actors (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. There is only one person in here out of countless pornographic actresses, and given the need for public self-identification with the label in bios of living people, I don't think there ever will be more than one. Asarelah (talk) 00:06, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
