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 to Category:Shrines in Lahore. The Bushranger One ping only 21:24, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT and Category:Shrines in Pakistan as a wider topic. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:16, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - You could be opening a can of worms there Alan, seeing as Lahore lies in Pakistan, not India, even though historically it belongs to India as well. There were two major shrines that were definitely missing from that category (Data Durbar Complex and the Samadhi of Ranjit Singh). I would suggest that instead the Lahore category could be merged with Category:Sufi shrines in Pakistan to form a Category:Shrines in Pakistan, thereby avoiding international disputes. That said I see no reason that this category could not be recreated when there are articles on some of the other shrines in Lahore. Green Giant (talk) 00:29, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose has potential for growth plus within an established sub-categorization scheme. I'd prefer to keep it. gidonb (talk) 07:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Shrines in Lahore. It was isolated when it was nominated but is now a reasonable part of a hierarchy. – Fayenatic London 18:29, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you, this is the correct name! gidonb (talk) 20:43, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per Fayenatic. Seems we can have a well-populated category over time, even without (the Muslim equivalent of) parishcruft. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:45, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename per C2C. Discussion on whether or not "shrines" is approprirate can be done in a new nomination. The Bushranger One ping only 23:07, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per convention. I am not sure if "shrine" is the correct word for the contents. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per convention. gidonb (talk) 07:21, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: deleted as empty. In the future, when a category is emptied as a result of a logical, noncontroversial split such as this, you can simply tag it for speedy deletion under criterion WP:C1. The Bushranger One ping only 23:08, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete as empty. I've split the category by sex—see Category:Lynn Fighting Knights men's golfers and Category:Lynn Fighting Knights women's golfers. Dale Arnett (talk) 18:21, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete.--Mike Selinker (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete Appears to be an article in category space, or the start of an article. There is no head article European Minifootball Federation. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:34, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Too early for this category. Please move the text to the article space. gidonb (talk) 07:29, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unfortunatly categories cannot be moved to articlespace; this will need to be recreated from scratch. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:09, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The text can be cut and pasted into a new article. Closing person: If this proposal is adopted, please mention the author of the text while doing so! gidonb (talk) 20:47, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Public schools in Sri Lanka[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 under the assumption Obi2canibe is correct about the categorization.--Mike Selinker (talk) 21:55, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a duplicate of Category:Government schools in Sri Lanka. The Education in Sri Lanka article divides schools into government and non-government schools. The category name should follow suit. obi2canibetalk contr 17:12, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Government schools Sri Lanka are split into national schools (those controlled by the national government) and provincial schools (those controlled by the provincial government). This is why Category:Government schools in Sri Lanka has been sub-categorised into Category:National schools in Sri Lanka and Category:Provincial schools in Sri Lanka. All the articles currently appearing under Category:Public schools in Sri Lanka have already been categorised into one of Category:National schools in Sri Lanka / Category:Provincial schools in Sri Lanka / Category:Private schools in Sri Lanka. So there is no need to do any further work in splitting this category, it can be deleted.--obi2canibetalk contr 15:11, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Category redirect will be established. The Bushranger One ping only 21:25, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to more accurately describe the category's contents. The current title and the category's explanatory text ("enduring communities") sound like a caricature of corporate communications. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:49, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding related CFDs:
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Article is under Netherlands hence we do not add "The" in the brackets. Same with the United States and the United Kingdom. gidonb (talk) 13:29, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:26, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Support This uses {{Usercat-1}} to link to it's title in the Main namspace. The Palestine article is about the region not the country. The article about the country is Palestinian territories. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:00, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename per C2D. (The Wachowskis). Capital "T" in "The" used as "The" is part of the pairing's actual name. The Bushranger One ping only 23:12, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. They now go by "The Wachowskis" instead of "The Wachowski Brothers. Trivialist (talk) 07:45, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The main article of the category is Seven Enemy Offensives. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 07:39, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. per noms rationale. I created a couple of the articles that are in this category and have worked on a lot of the others. The category should be "Seven Enemy Offensives" as a proper noun. It is the most common rendering in WP:RS. Peacemaker67 (talk) 12:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn On second thought, there is something to be said for consistency with the encyclopedic content, but it doesn't outweigh that the Palestinians would probably prefer to call their country Palestine instead of Palestinian territories. Unlike the encyclopedic content, there's no need to free up a name for the region. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 06:07, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Weak Support To match Palestinian territories. The Palestine article is about the region. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 04:03, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
