Propose renaming Category:Ground-based aviation electronic systems to Category:Aeronautical navigation systems
Nominator's rationale: As it stands, this is a rather awkwardly named category that (previously) incuded a number of aeronautical aids to navigation, air traffic control radar, and air traffic control itself. With the latter two removed (to the appropriate Category:Air traffic control), however, a clear and logical scope emerges; hence, the proposed renaming.

Category:Articles with MusicBrainz release links (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Why does this exist? Similar templates—{{metacritic}}, {{allmusic}}, {{discogs master}}, etc.—lack this, so I don't see why it's particularly useful for {{MusicBrainz release}}. There is no explanation in the category itself and nothing links to it. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 08:22, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – this seems to be a hidden maintenance category added by {{MusicBrainz release}} but I can't see that there is any maintenance value whatever. Occuli (talk) 19:33, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (for now) - I created this category due to the recent major changes in MusicBrainz (commonly referred to as NGS for Next Generation Schema). As a result of this change, the semantics of what constitutes a 'release' changed. What Wikipedia should now be linking to is a release group (for which there is a different template) as releases are specific to a date and country, while a group collects together all releases on different countries and dates (as Wikipedia pages do). Releases can also now be multi-disc, whereas in the past they was a release per disc. As a result, some Wikipedia pages have multiple MusicBrainz release links which need converting to a single release group link. Such conversion requires finding all releases and changing them (similar to how albums currently need to have the reviews in the infobox replaced). If someone could point me to a good way to add this information to the category page, I'll do so. I do think the cat. should be kept until it becomes redundant (by being empty or near-empty if some special cases are found). Gnu andrew (talk) 23:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I would recommend simply adding this rationale to the category page by using the edit button. As for whether or not this is worth tracking and amending, I'll leave that to other commentators. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 03:02, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Grunge music to Category:Grunge
Nominator's rationale: Per main article and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_January_23#Category:Grunge. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 08:06, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Album covers to Category:Audio recording covers or Category:Covers of albums and singles
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per concerns at Template_talk:Non-free_album_cover#Proposed_change:_clarify_that_this_doesn.27t_just_apply_to_albums, the thread for renaming the associated template has been recently opened there. Brandmeister t 03:05, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then maybe "Covers of albums and singles"... Brandmeister t 19:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • But that introduces a massive ambiguity, in the same fashion as I said above. Not as severe, true, but it's still there. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:56, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is. I see no problem with this. It's not categorizing articles, but files when using the {{Non-free album cover}} template. The definition just doesn't have to be as straightforward or strict in these cases. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 09:27, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
