May 3[edit]

Category:Christian bell towers[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:02, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: purge and manually merge, the articles about churches and cathedrals should be removed and articles about bell towers should be kept. However, bell towers do not have a religion, so manually disperse to Category:Bell towers and its country subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:08, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:57, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- The use of bells is strongly associated with Christianity, bells having been long used to summon the faithful to worship. The Muslim equivalent is a minaret. The category might be limited to church bell towers, but on the whole it is better left alone. The target is a mixture of bell towers for other religions and secular ones, such as for war memoricals.

Category:Songs about fires[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:42, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These songs are not actually "about" fire, they just have the word fire in the title. For example, in "We Didn't Start the Fire", it is metaphorical, not a literal fire; the song is about the constant stream of events that show up in the media. A misinterpretation of Wikipedia's categorization policy. Should be deleted as inaccurate. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:51, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs about body parts[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 all Timrollpickering (talk) 21:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category and all subcategories just contain songs with body parts in the title. Most of them are not actually about body parts, so the category is misleading and I doubt it is defining. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:24, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Deltaproteobacteria-stub[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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:03, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The bacterial class Deltaproteobacteria has been dismantled and four new phyla erected in its place (see here). New stub templates have been created for these new phyla (as needed) and the new stub templates have been placed in the appropriate articles. There is no longer any use for this stub and the associated category (Category:Deltaproteobacteria stubs) is effectively empty. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 20:08, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ninjatacoshell: I think you might have confused CfD for TfD with this and the above nomination? As for the category, delete as empty and not useful. FrankSpheres (talk) 20:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: per WP:USERCATNO. Overly narrow scope. 1857a (talk) 19:53, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:21, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category is entirely populated by redirects back to the artist's article, serves no purpose as an album category. Richard3120 (talk) 17:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:25, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice towards recreation if any of the redirects grow into articles. FrankSpheres (talk) 20:38, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. A category of redirects all to the main article is not helpful. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:31, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 11:12, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: They are all from Germany and not likely to be from elsewhere. Rathfelder (talk) 10:03, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename, without prejudice to recreating if needed due to discoveries of secret Swabian literary cultures. I note the suggested target is already a redirect pointing to the cat under discussion, so this really should be fine. FrankSpheres (talk) 20:44, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Former constituencies[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/Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 21:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
Former constituencies
Nominator's rationale: For consistency with the category tree. Some things:
  1. Other nominations in the group are updated to follow the Wikipedia:Category names#State-based topics : the "... of <country/state>" as these are administrative divisions and not settlements.
  2. The Indian parliamentaries are named "Former Lok Sabha constituencies of ..." which seems out of consistency with others in the tree. The alternative would be "Former parliamentary constituency of <India/Indian state name here>"
  3. I proposed "Former assembly constituency of <Indian state name>" instead of "Former Assembly constituency of ..." (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Indian constituencies)) so that they are consistent with other in the category tree, viz. "electoral districts", "parliamentary constituencies"
P.S. I haven't notified the creators. If required, please let me know. For now, I'll notify just the above respective country WikiProjects — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:01, 3 May 2022 (UTC) (Updated with the entire list — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC))[reply]
  • Support -- It will be good to have consistency between countries. In USA, we need to be careful over names so that we do not confuse federal and state electoral districts. I think UK constituencies use "former". Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - as the head category is Category:Former constituencies the subcategories should follow suit. 18:37, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Support — former also is much clearer than defunct — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 08:21, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. 'Former' seems to be a more accurate word -- Ab207 (talk) 13:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
