January 22[edit]

Category:Old Spice Classic[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 to all parents, i.e. Category:College men's basketball competitions in the United States, Category:Sports in Orlando, Florida and Category:Walt Disney World. There is a clear consensus that this single-article category should not be retained, but no argument in favour of removing the article from the categories parents.
Please may I remind editors that when they believe a category is inappropriate, thy should check carefully whether deletion will remove articles from any relevant parent categories. If so, the category should be merged rather than deleted. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:22, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the "there's enough content for a band" consensus that's developed, and a {{minnow}} for the nominator for not bothering to use WP:SMALLCAT as a rationaile. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:16, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The category contains four subcategories, albums, album covers, members and songs, with 17 articles between them, the band's article, discography, a tribute album and the band's template, so there is not "too little content." Four subcategories, three articles and a template should be enough to keep the category. Aspects (talk) 05:46, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting:

Nominator's rationale:

Dead administration categories. I had a look at the registration dates of numerous users in the parent - thanks Popups! - and they range from 2006 to 2008; it's not being updated. The subcategory is for a single month in 2011, with a single user in it; apparently created through the outreach:Account Creation Improvement Project, a project which went nowhere. — Hex (❝?!❞) 19:24, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename Category:Afghan athletes to Category:Afghan athletes (track and field)
  • Nominator's rationale In the closing of the last discussion on this it was claimed "no evidence has been presented that people outside of North America use athelte for general sportspeople". Well this [1] is an article from an on-line newspaper based in Afghanistan that has as its title "Afghan Taekwondo athlete defeats his Moroccan rival". I am pretty sure Taekwondo is not considered part of the sport of athletics, so clearly people in Afghanistan are using the term more generally, thus we should rename to avoid ambiguity. This article [2] from Afghan voice also seems to be using athlete=sportsman. At least the assumption seems to be that any olympic participant is an athlete, and I am not usre that either taekwondo or power lifting or even boxing would be considered part of the sport of athletics. Then there is this Bakhtar News article [3] that seems to assume any participant in the olympics is an athlete. So it seems obvious that publications in Afghanistan use athlete to equal sportsperson. They are not using it to only mean people participating in athletics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:18, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question And is there evidence yet that members of this category Waheed Karim and Abdul Baser Wasiqi are considered track and field athletes? --Qetuth (talk) 02:04, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is clear evidence that the way this category name is being used is not the way the term is used in Afghanistan. If you could come up with a better solution, we would consider it. However no one has, so this works. At least in American English I would consider those people track and field athletes, and since the Afghan users seem to be following American usages, I would guess that they would too. I have clearly demonstrated that the current category name does not work in the way people in Afghanistan use English.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:18, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support neutralization of the category name, and removing ambiguity in the naming of non-English localities, where the particular variety of English cannot be referneced to deambiguate the term -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:38, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Brand New[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 per nominator to Category:Brand New (band). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:34, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Category:Brand New to Category:Brand New (band)
  • Nominator's rationale This looks on first clance like it is Category:Brand new, a category for putting very recent things in. We need to rename it so it is clear that the category is referring to a band.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:56, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Overly ambiguous category names lead to maintenance headaches. Seems that some new users would categorize their new articles into this. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:39, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait I probably support either way, but believe this should not be closed until after the requested move is concluded. --Qetuth (talk) 01:54, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • However as was pointed out by the IP there are maitenance issues here that would not really come up in the page. It is much easier to maintain pages than categories. So there is a strong argument to rename the category even if the page name is not changed. While I certainly hope the page name changes, there is not a concensus to do so (if they go with a strict vote, it is tied right now, well, I guess maybe one more for change if you count the nominator, of course I would hope the arguments about why the current name is leading to over searching would convince people there should be a change, but it seems like fans of the band are involved and feel it will be an insult to the band to not let it just have the name stand on its own). So I do not think this should have be tied to having to follow the rename of the page, because frankly it is much worse to have a badly names category, because people using hot cat to add categories or adding them in some other way never have to go and see what the category is, you have to at least click on the article before editing it, making it harder to put information in an article out of ignorance that it does not go there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:53, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename all to the lowercase format as used by the relevant workgroup: Wikipedia:WikiProject Bible/Biblical criticism work group. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:39, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Att he moment, we have two parallel groups of cats for this project (or actually a workgroup, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Bible/Biblical criticism work group), with different capitalization. These need to be merged (the first two), and two cats need to be renamed (the last two). While my preference is for the direction as suggested, I have no real problem if people prefer the mergers to go in the other direction; however, this will mean that a lot more cats (currently not tagged) will need to be renamen instead.

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Delete this premature stub category and upmerge template. No prejudice against recreating category once article count permits. Dawynn (talk) 13:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
From the proposal in 2011 it looks like this category had 63 articles when created and was marked by nom as having become undersized in March 2012, and has since shrunk further to its current 14, so I'd hardly describe that as 'nothing else but grow'. The nominator did wait 10 months from marking it undersized until nominating it for deletion, and there is no influx of newly created articles that would imply we should expect future growth. --Qetuth (talk) 13:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point, and I can't explain why the counts would go down. Perhaps some of the stubs were expanded to the point where they no longer need to be marked as stubs (which is a good thing). My point, however, is that there are literally hundreds and hundreds of articles qualifying for inclusion into this category (as well as the other two on this page), which are yet to be created (and slowly are). With that in mind, the counts will definitely go up once again. Upmerging/splitting/upmerging/splitting the cat every time the counts change is unnecessary (and unproductive) hassle, in my opinion. I stay with my oppose.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 23, 2013; 14:20 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Category:Roads in Atlanta, Georgia is sufficient. There are only one or two "streets" in Atlanta that are not "roads" so no need for this category which was mis-applied anyway. I've changed the category for the 6 articles listed here (of which 5 were roads not streets) and so the category is empty.Keizers (talk) 01:56, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. The Bushranger One ping only 03:45, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete.
These two categories were added a couple of months back to roll up the members of Category:LGBT people by gender. This seems to be doing nothing but causing confusion, as besides the usual run of people whose sexuality goes undiscussed in the article, everybody who is a direct member probably ought to actually belong in a child category; likewise, all the subcategories of these two are direct members of Category:LGBT people. Given those who try to deny a conventional gender assignment, I don't see how this particular division is well-advised. Mangoe (talk) 01:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I do not think this is a place where it makes sense to seperate men and women.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:12, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - It provides a level of unnecessary categorization and seems redundant with most of the subcategories. - MrX 03:37, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Makes categorization system less useful, and e.g. 'GBT men' is both 1. not a term and 2. confusing (just who qualifies as a T man?). LGBT people is infinitely preferable.Zythe (talk) 10:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - unnecessary level of container categories using made-up, or at least not widely known or used, terms. The children can acheive whatever gender distinction is appropriate. --Qetuth (talk) 01:28, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
