Revision as of 16:29, 29 December 2005
December 29
Category:Canadians detained to Category:Canadian prisoners and detainees
In line with the other subcategories of Category:Prisoners and detainees by nationality Ze miguel 16:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Prisoners
Duplicate with Category:Prisoners and detainees. The category was requested to be emptied and deleted since October 6, 2004. Ze miguel 16:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Dieselpunk
Second nomination (first nomination here). Since the main dieselpunk article was deleted as original research, there's little reason to retain the category. - EurekaLott 15:49, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete w/o the dieselpunk article, the category is meaningless. Avogadro 15:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Condemned Prisoners
Duplicate with Category:Death row prisoners Ze miguel 15:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Video game musicians to Category:Computer and video game musicians
Consistency with the rest of the Category:Computer and video games categories. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 13:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Golfcam 15:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Anti-Semitic people
<Removed Cool Cats biased statement at the top>
Let people decide on the Categories own merits.
- Delete The title is misleading, the content is not NPOV. --Yooden
- Delete You can't call someone anti-semitic without drawing a parallel with Hitler. CalJW 14:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep The majority of the articles were in the Category:Anti-Semitism this category was becoming crowded with peoples names so this secondary Category was created. Battlefield 15:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:IWW leaders to Category:Industrial Workers of the World leaders
Remove abbreviation in line with policy. Sumahoy 12:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC).
Category:Eternal Divine Path
A category describing a religious movement, for which there is a single article. Ze miguel 10:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:LGBT murderers, Category:LGBT serial killers
Created for the purpose of anti-LGBT POV pushing; not an important category. DDerby-(talk) 10:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Biased nomination. As being LGBT is promoted via the category system in relation to positive accomplishments, this should be kept too. Sumahoy 12:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- You mean, this should be kept because you want your POV represented? fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Inherently POV. Ambi 13:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, per the first bloke to speak in the category's defence. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think the category Category:LGBT criminals is rather worrying too. Should this include Alan Turing, whose only crime was being gay? Morwen - Talk 14:02, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- We've already been through that. CalJW 14:53, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, no sigifigant correlation between LGBT and murderers much less serial killers - until evidence of such is presented, this looks like just POV Triona 14:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, do we have Category:African American serial killers ? How are you going to prove they are gay anyway? - FrancisTyers 14:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Deletee, per everyone else. --Phroziac . o º 14:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I wonder where all these infrequent visitors to this page came from? I dare say they are a little skewed compared to the user base as a whole. This can go when your propaganda categories go, but you won't allow your bias to be removed so this should stay as an attempt balance the most obvious systematic breach of the neutrality policy which has been inflicted on wikipedia. CalJW 14:49, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep We already voted on this. Golfcam 15:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Birminghamians to Category:People from Birmingham, Alabama
- Rename. - There is stated in this category, that this is a category for people of Birmingham, Alabama, but still it is confusing to have only "Birminghamians" category. Darwinek 09:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Particularly silly since the American Birmingham is about five gazillion times less well-known. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Cape Towners
Empty Category, superseded by Category:Natives of Cape Town. Zunaid 07:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC).
Category:Channelled entities
Inherently POV and unverifiable. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 07:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, no, it's not really either one. Sure, it's unverifiable whether these entities actually exist, but it's not at all unverifiable that books have been published purporting to reveal the entities' channelled wisdom. The fact that Seth, Ramtha, Kryon, Oahspe, etc. can't be definitively proven to exist doesn't make the category unverifiable — God can't be definitively proven to exist, either, and we have categories devoted to him. The question is whether we can verify that some people believe that these entities exist, and the answer to that question is yes, we can. Keep. Bearcat 08:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Ramtha's 15 minutes ran out about a hundred years ago, but it was some sort of something, that we have mostly NPOV and verifiable articles about. SchmuckyTheCat 08:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedians interested electronics
Redundant with Category:Wikipedians interested in electronics (and the page of that category says that to add yourself to Category:Wikipedians interested in electronics, you use the same code as you would if you were to add yourself to Category:Wikipedians interested electronics). Delete and use the category that is properly named. --Idont Havaname 05:00, 29 December 2005 (UTC) Speedy delete. -- Ze miguel 15:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedian Democrats (US)
This category needs routine deletion. It was once linked to by a template but that now links elsewhere. There are no pages here, just a small server hog that should be gotten rid of. HereToHelp (talk) 03:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- The template was changed and the category is now in use again. Never mind.--HereToHelp (talk) 13:51, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Australian television comedy to Category:Australian television comedy series
Rename: To bring uniformity to the Category:Australian television series by genre category. -- Longhair 04:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Goth metal to Category:Gothic metal
Rename: The main article is titled Gothic metal, which is the preferred form. -- Parasti 03:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Rename and Add. On this note, there also needs to be catagorys called Symphonic Metal made, and Gothic-Doom, to establish the differences between bands. This is so that a full editiation of the network of articles can viably be corrected, edited, or otherwise modified, as to not undermine the articles and their content. Also see the Gothic Metal articles 'Common Misconceptions' on as to why 'Goth Metal' is a misnaming of the genre 'Gothic Metal'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leyasu (talk • contribs)
- Rename per nom. (I also changed the title for you to follow conventions; hope you don't mind.) --Idont Havaname 04:25, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- This is all new stuff to me, so no, not at all. Thanks. -- Parasti 04:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Golfcam 15:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Entertainers who died aged x etc. categories
Entirely arbitrary categories. Why 20 and not 21? Why 21 and not 16? And so on. It doesn't make an interesting or natural category. The same can be said for the "entertainers who died in their n0s" categories, which have the same failings. We don't have "kings who died in their 50s" do we? Tell me we don't have that! James James 02:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Original nom was just for "before age 20" cat, added to nomination all similar categories. Arniep 16:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Category:Prematurely deceased entertainers
- Category:Entertainers who died before age 20

- Delete as per nom. Valiantis 14:39, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Rulers in India
Empty, covered by Category:Indian monarchs. MeltBanana 01:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Category:Newspapers of the Republic of China
The naming format is "Blahnese newspapers" in Category:Newspapers by country and Category:Taiwanese newspapers already exists. Also, Instantnood is underhandedly trying to rename Taiwan to Republic of China by creating new categories that fit his name, since he can't get consensus to rename the EXISTING category. SchmuckyTheCat 01:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Seems like a straightforward delete per nom. James James 02:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- delete - cateogry already exists by diff name as per nom. novacatz 07:19, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. Sumahoy 12:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: User:SchmuckyTheCat knows pretty well with the issues around the matter. Anybody who is familiar can tell who's underhandedly trying to fit her/his own preference by making use of CfD inappropriately. — Instantnood 16:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This category was created following precedance such as category:transportation in the Republic of China/Taiwan and category:townships in the Republic of China/Taiwan, that are in turn following Misplaced Pages's NPOV policies (Misplaced Pages:naming conventions (Chinese)#Political NPOV, Misplaced Pages:naming conventions (categories)#How to name a nationality and #How to name the country. Further, this is the only category Matsu Daily and Kinmen Daily News can reside, rather than category:Asian newspapers. — Instantnood 16:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
