The result of the discussion was:rename.--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Current name is highly ambiguous; could be free-floating objects in water, or any number of other things. Proposed name would fit under both parent Category:Substellar objects and the actual description the category gives for its contents. The BushrangerOne ping only 01:50, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the category should not include brown dwarfs, should be restricted to non-brown dwarfs, since many brown dwarfs are known to be individual. -- 70.49.127.65 (talk) 02:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's a debatable point. I'm finding many instances of "free-floating objects" being applied to brown dwarfs, both in scholarly publications and in the press. In addition, brown dwarfs are frequently referred to as "substellar objects". I suppose the alternative would be to create separate categories for "rogue planets" and "free-floating brown dwarfs".

Nominator's rationale: First of all, this is a very small category. I'm unsure exactly how big it could possibly get. The main reason is that it's odd to use 'Palaces' to denote a set of Philippine buildings. They haven't got royalty running around them, historical or contemporary. The cat is more likely to mislead the reader than to help them navigate. CMD (talk) 08:25, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There were, and still are, some local "royals". An example is the people behind the Sultanate of Sulu and some other Muslim royals in Lanao del Sur, although I dunno if they live in palaces. For a list, see Category:Philippine Royalty and Nobility (probably a candidate for renaming as per capitalization, at the very least). –HTD 01:37, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as part of wider schemes. It's a big mistake (likely mainly to occur to Americans) to think only royalty live in "palaces" - the Philippines is not short of bishops I believe, to name but one palace-dwelling group. Johnbod (talk) 12:52, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not all bishops live in places. I have never seen anyone describe the residence of the Archbishop of Detroit as a palace. Whether or not the bishops in the Phillipines live in palaces I do not know, but the one does not imply the other.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:02, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (Nom) None of the three entries are inhabited by bishops. For reference, they are two residences for the President, and one for the Vice-President. CMD (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
keep part of Category:Palaces by country category tree. There is no reason at all to leave out the Philippines. And 'Palaces' are a name used for 'Presidential Palaces' in many countries--no royalty needed. Hmains (talk) 02:24, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep smallcat says we should not keep categories unlikely to expand. It has been shown there are more things that could go in this category, but are not there, possibly because they do not yet have their own articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:46, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- the present content is the official residences of the Presidnet and Vice-President of the Phillippines. WE we merge a category about the White House to "Buildings and Structures in Washington D.C."? Peterkingiron (talk) 14:54, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Rename with lower case. Alternatively, as it's a small category, upmerge to Category:Islamic art and Category:Arabic culture; but there may well be scope to grow the category. (There is no lead article, hence I brought it here for a full discussion rather than speedy renaming.) – FayenaticLondon 08:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support rename. Mainly functions as a head cat for biographies, & I see no need to upmerge. Johnbod (talk) 12:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It does now; I only just added them. – FayenaticLondon 22:52, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support fixing capitalization. Do not merge not all Arabic art is by any definition Islamic. To pretend these could be treated as the same is false on both fronts. For one thing, there was Arabic art before the rise of Islam.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The new name should probably be Category:Arab art following the renaming of the head category Category:Arab culture from "Arabic" to "Arab". Google books has 21,000 results for "Arab art" and only 9,000 for "Arab art". Shall I withdraw this nomination and start again, or is this clear enough anyway? – FayenaticLondon 12:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support that rename too, though I think either is fine. Johnbod (talk) 13:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Merge and redirect. This seems to be a category holding national culture categories across the Arab League. It's not needed. – FayenaticLondon 08:21, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Support as revised below. A rename to Category:Arabic culture by state/nationality (or whatever the usual phrase is) would seem the obvious move. Support that. The parent is already rather full & messy. Johnbod (talk) 12:49, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Changing nomination to rename to Category:Arab culture by nationality. ("Arab" rather than "Arabic" following Arab culture; I will put in a speedy request to rename the head category.) However, I still recommend keeping the existing name as a category redirect to Arabic/Arab culture. – FayenaticLondon 06:58, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Of the 25 articles and 2 sub-category. 12 articles treat this category as if it means functionalism (social theory). (These fit the category description). 5 articles and 1 sub-category treat this category as if it refers to Functionalism (architecture). The remaining 8 articles and 1 sub-cat, are to do with Functionalism (international relations) (3 articles), Functionalism (philosophy of mind) (2 articles, 1 sub-cat) and the functionalist perspective in linguistics (3 articles). This split chooses the versions which would be most populated. 8/25 articles and 1 sub-category would not fit this split. But this split would group only relevant articles together and make things a bit clearer. imo it would be worth the split into 5 categories. Brad7777 (talk) 22:05, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have removed 2 articles and 1 sub-cat which I added before reading the category definition. Brad7777 (talk) 22:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:Biological nomenclature, like the similar category for Chemistry which has been upmerged to Category:Chemical nomenclature (see CFD June 25). Even though that contains separate categories for Prefixes and Suffixes and this one does not, most of the contents here are not actually affixes anyway. (They are parts of binomial nomenclature.) – FayenaticLondon 19:33, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:Withdrawn. Timrollpickering (talk) 23:14, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Saint Leo College Preparatory School is a former name of Saint Leo University. I believe it's the general standard to categorise alumni by the current name of the institution, not by the name of the institution at the time. The BushrangerOne ping only 02:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose since Saint Leo College Preparatory School was a high school level institution while Saint Leo University is a tertiary educational institution, the respective alumni categories would go in different parent categories. There are precedents for not merging when the institution changes its educational level, such as the fact we have Category:Brigham Young Academy alumni seperate from the alumni of that instution after it shifted to being Brigham Young University and an institution of higher education.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:04, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT. Not a defining characteristic of the songs in question and with a definition that emphasises its subjectivity and nebulousness. The BushrangerOne ping only 00:35, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The category text mixes up several different themes in the text added, Germanic paganism (where the term “Yule” appears to come from), the more general paganism and Heathen which is a redirect to paganism anyway. One of the songs does not make any claim that would entitle to be a member of this category, another I am very suspicious of its right to be in this category. This is a category without a main article and is very misleading as a consequence. I do think there is a worthwhile article on this subject to be written, not sure WP will need this category then, either. --Richhoncho (talk) 08:18, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The category name is questionable to begin with, but at any rate the matter of where various Christmas songs/practices/etc. is speculative and debatable. Mangoe (talk) 11:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the two I am familiar with are Christmas songs using Yule/Yuletide as a synonym for Christmas with no intention of invoking the pagan meaning of the word. This amounts to false categorization and no one has shown there are non-Christmas songs involved here at all. This comes down to "categoriazation by use of a word somewhere in the song." This is not a good scheme at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:52, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Christmas songs that happen to use the archaic synonym Yule fails to provide a useful category. Since German (or Anglo-Saxon or Norse) paganism was dead for nearly 1000 years until its alleged modern revival, I doubt there is any WP content related to the original usage. If there is, it will go better in a category on the religion. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:03, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
