  • Rename and comment Rename per nom to match main article. This and all the sub-cats would need renaming too. Lugnuts (talk) 17:55, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Former Shropshire football clubs[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: Speedy rename C2C. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename, to follow the format of the parent Category:Defunct football clubs in England, and to clarify that this category contains defunct footballs clubs in Shrophsire rather than that FCs which used to be in Shropshire but are now somewhere else.
See also a large group nomination at CfD 21012 June 6 on renaming the parent Category:Shropshire football clubs and 39 other other categs to the "Football clubs in countyname" format.
Note that although this categ currently contains only 3 articles, it has plenty of scope for expansion, and so does not violate WP:SMALLCAT. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:11, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Irish Roman Catholic archbishops[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: No consensus - And incidentally, it wasn't tagged either. - jc37 04:42, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The cat is related to the country, not the nationality. The cat is linked to the archbishoprics that are physically located in Ireland. Many of the archbishops listed are Cambro-Norman or English, not necessarily Irish nationals. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:02, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
WikiProject Ireland has been notified --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:23, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose; nomination sounded sensible and was well-intentioned, but actually this is part of Category:Roman Catholic archbishops by nationality. There is a separate hierarchy for Category:Roman Catholic archbishops by diocese, and so far five countries have intermediate categories for "Roman Catholic archbishops by diocese in [country]". Nevertheless the nominator has done well to raise this, and I suggest creating Category:Roman Catholic archbishops by diocese in Ireland which should hold the two sub-cats of the nominated category, and be placed into some of its head categories. To reduce scope for confusion, there should be "see also" links between the two. (Edit conflict) – Fayenatic London 13:40, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree on the need for "see also" links, to reduce confusion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:13, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I see that Category:Roman Catholic bishops by diocese in Ireland has a couple more sub-cats that belong in the new one proposed above. – Fayenatic London 16:52, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Query If this opposition is successful, must all non Irish nationals be purged from the cat ? Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:51, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes. They should be categorised within archbishops by diocese. The proposed new category will locate them by diocese in Ireland. – Fayenatic London 12:42, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, kind of People looking at this as a hierarchy of bishops by their country of origin are, I believe, not looking deeply enough. For example, Category:American Roman Catholic archbishops contains the category Category:Roman Catholic archbishops by diocese in the United States; this is typical of the countries that have multiple archdioceses and enough bishops to justify the "by diocese" breakout. What this would imply is that the "Fooian Roman Catholic Archbishops" categories are in fact catch-alls for those archbishops whose diocese doesn't have enough archbishop articles to justify the breakout or where there is but one archdiocese in the nation. If we are going to have a "national origin" category hierarchy, then the "bishop of" hierarchy has to be separated from it, and either every diocese has to have its own article, or the catch-all articles have to be named differently from the catch-all "by origin" categories. Personally I think the two hierarchies are going to overlap almost completely except for a few missionary bishops. Mangoe (talk) 13:35, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • That may well be right. Nevertheless there is one hierarchy by occupation and nationality, and one hierarchy for postholders by specific office (bishops by diocese). There should be "see also" connections rather than a parent-child link between them. – Fayenatic London 18:05, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Oppose

The purpose for this category, is to specifically address the fact that the heirarchy in Ireland is divided, not by the state (as the Republic of Ireland), but on a per-island basis. By using 'Irish RC, all the bishops on the island can be considered Irish. By changing it to 'bishops in Ireland', the nom attempts to paper over this difference. It's an important distinction, which is why RC dioceses in GB used to be the name of the category. Since that got effectively overran, we now have RC dioceses in the ROI, and RC dioceses in the UK, which doesn't reflect the ecclesiastical division. It would be nice if we could restore the old cat name RC dioceses in GB, because then we could have RC dioceses in Ireland and RC dioceses in GB without the irritating category issues. What say ye, wikipedians?Benkenobi18 (talk) 08:09, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Confused By the rationale offered above, user Benkenobi18 should advocate "Support". As he correctly states, the hierarchy in Ireland is on a per-island basis. The name for the entire island is Ireland. Also, the present title of "'Irish RC" would, as the user also points out, lead the reader to think that all the bishops could be considered to be Irish nationals. This, however, is not the case as many were English, Flemish, Norman, French, Spanish and Italian. To have a category of bishops that only contained Irish nationals, a new category mustbe created. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Catholic archbishops in Ireland, but purge if necessary. Since the Catholic church is organised on al all-Ireland basis, there are no grounds for splitting between RoI and NI. I expect there are or have been Irish Catholic missionaries who have become archbishops outside Ireland. Similarly several CAtholic archbishops in GB are at least of Irish extraction, if not nationality. This should be category by nation, not nationality. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:01, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This category is meant to include Irish nationals who served as archbishops in other countries. If it does not at present, its content should be expanded to reflect this fact.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Defunct cricket venues[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: Speedy rename C2C. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: Rename all to match parent Category:Cricket grounds, and articles List of cricket grounds by capacity, List of Test cricket grounds. The current name follows the title of the other parent Category:Defunct sports venues, but it makes more sense to follow the terminology of the sport of cricket. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:25, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: User categories should group editors on the basis of characteristics that are relevant to collaborative editing of the encyclopedia. This category does not do that. It serves merely as a bottom-of-the-page notice when, simply put, there is no reason anyone would need to browse this category in search of members. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:21, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete. Clearly a joke category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:53, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: User categories should group users on the basis of characteristics which are relevant to collaborative editing of the encyclopedia. This category does not do that, clearly. (It does, however, make me wonder about users who sleep in others' underwear.) It serves as little more than a humorous "bottom-of-the-page" notice. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:27, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCATs with no significant potential for expansion that are not part of an established category tree. The Bushranger One ping only 04:51, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. The Bushranger One ping only 23:42, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:SMALLCAT. Not part of a larger scheme and there are sufficient categories that can contain the single page and two subcats. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:11, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy rename (C2C) to Category:Federation architects. – Fayenatic London 18:25, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This is an article in Category space. The content should be renamed to an article List of Federation architects. A new category could be created Category:Federation architects per Category:Architects by style. Tassedethe (talk) 00:54, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
