March 20[edit]

Category:Short stories by Dana Dutch[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: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Short stories by Dana Dutch to Category:Comics by Dana Dutch
Nominator's rationale: Rename I don't claim any sort of expertise here but all the comics by Dana Dutch listed on the main article are in fact short stories. In Wikipedia categories, the "short story" distinction does not exist for comics writers. Pichpich (talk) 23:32, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear power stations by reactor type[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: Rename all to Category:Nuclear power stations using FB reactors where FB is the main article name. European Pressurized Reactor has not yet been subject to a formal move request; if it is moved then the category can be speedied according to the convention set by this CFD. Timrollpickering (talk) 23:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:AP1000s to Category:AP1000 reactors (main article is AP1000)
Propose renaming Category:CPR-1000s to Category:CPR-1000 reactors (main article is CPR-1000)
Propose renaming Category:EPRs to Category:European Pressurized Reactors (main article is European Pressurized Reactor)
Propose renaming Category:RBMKs to Category:RBMK reactors (main article is RBMK)
Propose renaming Category:VVER to Category:VVER reactors (main article is VVER)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. It seems to me that these should be renamed slightly for clarity, as the other subcategories of Category:Nuclear power stations by reactor type are named. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:01, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Princely major bachelors[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. Timrollpickering (talk) 22:57, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Princely major bachelors (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We don't categorize people by marital status. That alone is enough to justify deletion of this category, but the category also only includes living people. For living people, we especially do not categorize by marital status because it may and often does change later in the persons' lives. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary inmates[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 & delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 22:57, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Category:Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary inmates to Category:Prisoners and detainees of the United States federal government
Delete Category:United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge and delete. We do have some categories for "prisoners by prison", but categorizing in this way is generally reserved for instances where being a prisoner of that specific prison is defining in and of itself, like Category:Alcatraz inmates, or Category:Inmates of Robben Island. Being imprisoned at United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth is not really like this. Leavenworth is most notable for having been the largest maximum security federal prison in the U.S. Having been a prisoner there is not particularly defining any more than being in Category:Prisoners and detainees of the United States federal government. This is similar to "Prisoners at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary" and "Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana inmates", both of which were deleted.
If the inmates category is deleted, the parent category would contain only United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth and could therefore be deleted. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:27, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Athletes by gender[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: Withdrawn by nominator. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Male athletes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Female athletes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Female athletes (track and field) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Per the discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Athletics, these categories seem to be too broad to be useful. Location (talk) 22:07, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nomination to delete withdrawn. Occuli has raised some good issues that need to be addressed in WP:Athletics first. Location (talk) 16:11, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure, a renaming to bring it into line with the parent categories sounds like a good idea, and I'm happy to support it. It's a bit of a mouthful, but this is not the place to revisit the decision to rename the parent category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:27, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Although I was a little hasty to bring it to Cfd, there are multiple issues with the categories and their names that do need to be resolved. One issue, as BrownHairedGirl has addressed, is whether or not competitors in athletics should even be categorized by gender. A second, as Occuli has addressed, are the terminology issues associated with athletics articles (e.g. "sportspeople" vs. "athletes", "athletes" vs. "runners", "athletics" vs. "track and field"). Category:Athletes has been moved to Category:Competitors in athletics, therefore Category:Male athletes and Category:Female athletes should at the very least be renamed as Category:Male competitors in athletics and Category:Female competitors in athletics. A third issue is how gender-specific categorization is tied or not tied to nation-specific categorization. Location (talk) 00:58, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename and populate. I approve of the five actions outlined by Location here. Since men and women effectively do not meet in the same competitions, categorisation by gender for common categories is a good idea. SFB 19:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Drawn-on-film animated films[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: Withdrawn by nominator. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:34, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Drawn-on-film animated films to Category:Drawn-on-film animation
Nominator's rationale: Rename per parent article and to reflect the fact that this category contains not only films but filmmakers. I think a rename is a better solution than creating Category:Drawn-on-film animation as a parent, as we do not have enough articles to properly populate such a split, at this time. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then again, renaming as nominated would mean that the contents could no longer be categorized in Category:Animated films by technique, which is itself an impediment to easy navigation. Given the lack of interest in this nom, I shall WITHDRAW and create Category:Drawn-on-film animation as a parent category, after all. Doing so will aid in integrating both films and more general articles on the technique and its practitioners into "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme," per WP:SMALLCAT. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:02, 21 March 2011 (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. Timrollpickering (talk) 17:22, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Wako-Pro World Grand Prix to Category:WAKO Pro World Grand Prix
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the title of the corresponding article. Pichpich (talk) 17:08, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:21st-century Native American conceptual artists[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: Upmerge. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:41, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:21st-century Native American conceptual artists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: With conceptual art being a relatively new discipline, it seems to me that we have not yet established that we even need a "21st century" subcategory. If not, then clearly this category should be deleted (or upmerged). I believe that as 20th/21st century was judged as non-defining for the relatively new art form of photography, per the link in the Indigenous photographers by century group nom below, this even newer art form does not require or benefit from such a split.

Category:Maya conceptual artists[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: Upmerge. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:39, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose upmerging Category:Maya conceptual artists
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT. The fact that we have a few national categories for conceptual artists does not necessitate creating this one, with its single article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:21st-century First Nations photographers to Category:First Nations photographers
Propose merging Category:20th-century First Nations photographers to Category:First Nations photographers
Propose merging Category:20th-century Inuit photographers to Category:Inuit photographers
Propose merging Category:21st-century Native American photographers to Category:Native American photographers

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_March_8#Category:20th-century_photographers. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:31, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aerial tramways in Germany[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: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:32, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Aerial tramways in Germany to Cable cars in Germany
Propose renamingCategory:Aerial tramways in Austria to Cable cars in Austria
Propose renamingCategory:Aerial tramways in Switzerland to Cable cars in Switzerland
...and ditto for other European countries.
Nominator's rationale: Rename. They are overwhelmingly referred to as "cable cars" in Europe; "aerial tramway" is very much a US-only term. --Bermicourt (talk) 07:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey to Category:Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Australian heritage registers[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: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:30, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Heritage places on Register of the National Estate to Category:Register of the National Estate
Propose renaming Category:Heritage places on Queensland Heritage Register to Category:Queensland Heritage Register
Propose renaming Category:Heritage places on the Commonwealth Heritage List to Category:Commonwealth Heritage List
Propose renaming Category:Heritage places on the Northern Territory Heritage Register to Category:Northern Territory Heritage Register
Propose renaming Category:Victorian Heritage Register sites to Category:Victorian Heritage Register
Nominator's rationale: Standardization. The quasi-consensus at the previous discussion was to use the register name itself as the category name to avoid the problem of some of the registers not being limited to places or sites. Retrying, as the previous discussion was closed as "no consensus". --Muhandes (talk) 01:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename: I'm not sure that "place" is so problematic. The examples in the original discussion are a demolished bridge (former place) and moved building (changed place). (The American registry is plagued by boats which have an annoying tendency to set sail.) That being said, the proposed names are more straight forward and a 'register' implies that the included articles would be from a list.RevelationDirect (talk) 01:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename: I can live with this. Does this proposal extend to sub-categories such as Category:Heritage listed buildings in Melbourne. Names such as Victorian Heritage Register sites in Melbourne, Victorian Heritage Register buildings in Melbourne and Victorian Heritage Register, Melbourne don't seem to be an improvement. Billingd (talk) 04:52, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure what the situation is in Victoria but in Queensland not all heritage buildings are on the Queensland register, some are on the Commonwealth register and some listed only on the National Estate list. This means that there is room for "Heritage Buildings in Queensland" which isn't a sub category of "Queensland Heritage Register". If needed, this could have a sub category "Queensland Heritage Register Buildings in Queensland" which is a sub of both "Heritage Buildings in Queensland" and "Heritage Buildings in Queensland". Would the same apply to a specific city like Melbourne? --Muhandes (talk) 07:33, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Category:Heritage listed buildings in Melbourne states it is for Victorian Heritage Register sites. I didn't create it - just used it. Billingd (talk) 10:12, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • On second thoughts, I am sorry I raised the side-issue of the sub-categories in this discussion. Can sort them out once agreement is reached for the higher level. Billingd (talk) 10:58, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, lets take it one step at a time. --Muhandes (talk) 11:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC)a[reply]
