June 30[edit]

Category:States and territories established in 1250 BC[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: merge. MER-C 12:54, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Such a long time ago, it's not likely that we'll be able to find states and territories established in that specific year. This category is the only category within Category:1250 BC establishments and within Category:1250s BC establishments. Ricky81682 (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Definitely merge -- Lycia is said to have emerged in circa 1250, so that giving a category for a precise year offends WP:OR. I suspect that the best that anyone could do would be to assign it to a decade and even that may be pushing it. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:47, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:03, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:VP Showcase candidates[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. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We don't normally (afaics) place (talk pages of) articles in a category because they're a candidate to be a selected article on a portal. IMO this sort of thing is better handled as a list. If kept this should be renamed as per the CFD below. DexDor (talk) 20:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete under WP:G7. I support the nominators rationale as the creator and only major contributor to this category. It was created at a time when the Portal:Vancouver was a featured portal and had significantly more activity planned. Mkdwtalk 02:02, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:VP Showcase[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. MER-C 12:54, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: More meaningful title, consistency with categories such as Category:Medicine portal selected articles. If people would prefer it to be "... showcase articles" I'd be fine with that. DexDor (talk) 20:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move - I think you can just be WP:BOLD and make this move yourself. An MFD isn't necessary in this particular case. Mkdwtalk 02:04, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Indian spiritual teachers[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: withdrawn by nom. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:45, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: marge. All articles in this category are about Hindu spiritual teachers and I expect the term Hindu spiritual teacher is as general as Hindu religious leader. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's enough to establish the point. Samuel J. Howard 13:45, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw nomination, apparently I had checked too few articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:49, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:42, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: subcategory names consistent with their parent Category:Hindu religious leaders. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Box Car Racer albums[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: keep. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:55, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete: Box Car Racer have only ever released one studio album, and have been inactive since 2003. This category contains exactly one page (following my removal of Box Car Racer DVD, which is not an album) and definitely fits the description "small without potential for growth". — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 18:44, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While it's true that not all of the relevant categories actually exist, Category:Albums by artist is meant to be a "comprehensive overall" scheme in which every album that has a Wikipedia article at all is meant to be filed — it is not restricted to "albums recorded by artists who have recorded multiple albums", but rather even a one-album subcategory is permitted to exist within that tree. And while I grant that it's not an ideal description, standard practice of WP:WPMU is that the album categories are meant to be inclusive of video/concert DVDs — since there's no alternative "Music DVDs by artist" scheme to file them in at the present time, and not every band automatically gets an eponymous category just for existing, there's no alternative way to keep the DVDs contextually filed in any other artist-related category. So this does satisfy WP:SMALLCAT's exemption for "unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme", and the DVD should not actually have been removed from it in the first place. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – the artist is the defining characteristic of an album. Oculi (talk) 21:16, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
