< May 31 June 2 >

June 1

Category:Hot Jewish women

While the contents may be fun to skim, this is entirely too subjective. Dismas| 22:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:History of Polish cities

There is already the more correct Category:Histories of Polish cities. Appleseed (Talk) 21:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who enjoy incest

Only one user, inappropriate, and unlikely to grow. SCHZMO 20:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who can autofellate

Only one user, inappropriate, and unlikely to grow. SCHZMO 20:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Bearded people

Potentially infinite and unmaintainable and of dubious usefulness. Gamaliel 19:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:World superlatives

Useless; only a handful of inclusions, and certain topics may be cited as "superlatives" for a number of reasons, making it unclear. Adambiswanger1 19:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Comoros

According to List of adjectival forms of place names the correct form for Comoros is Comorian

Rename all CalJW 18:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Famous fast-food burger restaurants to Category:Fast-food burger restaurants

Merge Although the former is a subcat of the latter, the word "Famous" is POV and not explained in either the cat page or the talk page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Anti-Arabism

There is only 1 - the main - article in this category. I'm not sure if any other articles could be placed under this category. It would seem quite POV to categorize anything as Anti-Arabism imo. --Zoz (t) 18:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - it isn't any more POV that the widely used and accepted Category:Anti-Catholicism and Category:Anti-Semitism categories. Also, I have added a few more pages to the category. I do not think it is useful to rush this through CfD. --Ben Houston 20:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep - if there is an Category:Anti-Semitism category, then there is nothing wrong with Category:Anti-Arabism. More articles can be added as it develops.--الأهواز 21:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep - per Ben and Ahwaz

Category:Ron Sorensen albums

Not notable; see Someday, Somehow and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ron Sorensen

User:Reaverdrop May 31,2006
I transferred this from PROD, as PROD does not and should not do categories. 132.205.45.148 18:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
And categories like this should not be nominated unless their contents finish going through AfD.--Mike Selinker 21:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
There is only one Ron Sorensen album in existence. Even if his album is somehow found notable, and despite the fact that his own entry was speedy deleted, I don't think there should be a category with only one possible entry. Otherwise we would have to put up with a George Washington category for George Washington, and Albert Einstein category for Albert Einstein ad nauseam. - Reaverdrop (talk/nl/wp:space) 22:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
category:Albums by artist works under the principle "each album has an artist," not "each artist has multiple albums."-- Mike Selinker 23:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:2000s Movies in India to Category:2000s movies in India

Moved from speedy. Vegaswikian 18:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

caps -- Lbbzman 16:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Unsure, David Kernow 03:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Agriculture Department images

Duplicate of Category:Department of Agriculture images. It is currently unpopulated while the DOA images cat is populated. Epolk 17:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Kempo to Category:Kenpo

Kempo redirects to Kenpo. Conscious 17:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC).

Category:Misplaced Pages Users to Category:Wikipedians

Misplaced Pages users are called "Wikipedians". Conscious 16:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC).

Some prefer "Wikipedists" by analogy with "encyclopedists". "Misplaced Pages Users" is a neutral generic term. - Reaverdrop (talk/nl/wp:space) 20:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedian bibliophiles to Category:Wikipedians interested in books

While I see there's a subtle difference between bibliophiles and people interested in books, is there a need to have two different categories? Conscious 16:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC).

Category:Wikipedian chemist to Category:Chemist Wikipedians

Same scope. Conscious 16:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC).

Category:Disappeared people to Category:People who disappeared

Slightly clearer title - the category talk page also mentions that "disappeared people" can imply that they were disappeared by someone or something, for example, the secret police, so this rename might help avoid those connotations. It might be an idea to subdivide or split the category into those presumed dead at the time of vanishing, and those who simply dropped off the radar of public attention. That might also help clear up the slight confusion in Category:People by status. Carcharoth 15:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Companies of Mumbai to Category:Companies based in Mumbai

The form "based in" is used for a couple of other Indian categories and all the U.S. categories. It is clearer and avoids the risk of companies being added to every city/state/province etc where they have a plant. . Nathcer 14:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC).

Category:Possibly living people to Category:People who may still be alive

I hope other folk find "Possibly living people" too ungainly a name for a category; perhaps even an "unencyclopedic" name. Proposed name also puts the subject of the category – people – as first word read or for sorting. David Kernow 14:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Boarding schools in Sweden

This category had only one member, Sigtunaskolan Humanistiska Läroverket, which I moved to Category:Schools in Sweden a while ago. There aren't that many boarding schools in Sweden, and there are still relatively few schools in the general category, so at least for now I don't see the need for this category. Tupsharru 13:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:0s BC births and Category:0s BC deaths

This category should be deleted. The name suggests that it lists people born in the year "O BC". However, this year doesn't exist: 1 BC is immediately followed 1 AD. The sole item in this category was Jesus but I deleted this for the same reasons (apart from the historical debate about the actual date of his birth). The category also somehow serves as a parent category to the subcategories from Category:1 BC births to Category:9 BC births. While these are legitimate categories I can't see how they can be categorized into "0 BC births". There also exists a template (Template:BirthyrBC) linked to from each subcategory which bears the problematic title (and hence should be renamed).

The same issue also pops up with the "death" equivalents. Str1977 11:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:United States Congressional district maps to Category:Maps of United States congressional districts

Rename - Like to similar categories; also grammatically clearer.—Markles 10:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Flops to Category:Commercial failures

Either rename and improve the category, or even just delete, as this is a POV title. Note that not all articles in this category will refer to commercial failures, but many do. Carcharoth 10:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Imposters of Moby Dick

Delete. Usernames that were in this category, User:PenisMoby, User:PenisMoby have been blocked due to being inappropriate (and vandalism); there is no proof that they intended to "impersonate" me, and it is only speculation that they intended to attack me. I do not believe in building shrines to malicious users and do not feel the need to dignify their actions with a category. --User:Moby Dick 10:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. There's a "deny recognition" policy I think, or maybe it was only a proposal. Anyway, it was a good idea. Sumahoy 14:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Inquiry why the sudden change in heart, Moby? You reported the two users on ANB/I. You yourself said It would appear that someone created these accounts based on my username... --Cat out 17:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Dead people rumoured to be living

Delete - rumours are not a solid basis for encyclopaedic categorisation: "A rumor or rumour (see spelling differences) is a piece of purportedly true information that circulates without substantiating evidence". (Which indicates to me that the Misplaced Pages Rumor article is a dicdef.) Mais oui! 06:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Pro-life Activists to Category:Pro-life activists

moved from speedy after discusion. Vegaswikian 05:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

- caps - ProveIt 14:25, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

It would be better if this were Category:Anti-abortion activists, otherwise you could legitimately categorize anti-death penalty activists under it. 132.205.93.89 21:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Neither, name is ambiguous. Does this refer to anti-euthanasia, abortion, death penalty, war, starvation, or what? Right now, it's so general as to be effectively meaningless, since groups with those interests and many more could rightly be called pro-life activists. Oh, I see anon above makes the same point. Well, then, obviously I agree with that. Derex 05:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. The name is clear, and this is not the place for abortion debates. - EurekaLott 14:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to Category:Anti-abortion activists as this identifies topic; "Pro-life activists" might mean anything from those supporting (say) more physical exercise, those against contraception, those for life sentences rather than death penalties, etc, etc. Regards, David Kernow 14:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename without the capital for now. I would prefer to see category:Pro-abortion activists and category:Anti-abortion activists as Misplaced Pages should call a spade a spade and avoid media-friendly labels, but they would have to be renamed at the same time or not at all. Sumahoy 14:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment See also: Category:Pro-life organizations, Category:Pro-life politicians, and Pro-life. Change all or none, but please do keep them consistant. -- ProveIt 19:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with the above. Rename all three from "Pro-life X" to "Anti-abortion X", and, similarly, also rename any "Pro-choice X" categories to "Pro-abortion X". Blunt, but descriptive, and no euphemisms on either side. -- Karada 20:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom to fix capitalization. Between the names of the other "Pro-Life" categories, and the fact that "Pro-Choice" categories are still Pro-choice, not Pro-Abortion, I think that this one should stay as it is. A fuller debate to rename all the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice categories at once might deserve a different outcome, but for now, moving just one out of the set is not the right way to handle it. Fix the capitalization, and leave the rest for a more comprehensive debate. - TexasAndroid 20:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom -- Activists get to decide what to call themselves; the fact that they are pro-death penalty, pro-theocracy, and anti-science is irrelevant to their Orwellian word play. Misplaced Pages policy is NOR. --William Allen Simpson 01:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Greater Syracuse to Category:Syracuse, New York

{{{text}}} More precise, and in line with other city categories Paul 04:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who play mainly as Marth in Super Smash Bros. Melee

You have GOT to be kidding. Part of Category:Wikipedians who play Nintendo GameCube, a category that seems pretty ripe for deletion to begin with. Calton | Talk 02:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Famous Muhajir to Category:Muhajir

We don't need to say famous ... if they weren't notable in some way they wouldn't be here -- ProveIt 01:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • The objection "if they weren't notable in some way they wouldn't be here" does not appear logical. Obviously the category is established to categorize Famous/Renowned/Notable Muhajirs not other Muhajir releted matters.
Well, I've no objection on changing the category Category: Famous Muhajir to Category Muhajir if the intention is not denying Muhajir itself. But I am afraid that few people (like Siddiqui) will not stop here and will again put the tag that this category is not necessary, not suitable and bla bla bla because the name itself against their political views. When there exist Afghani, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Bengali people categories then WHY NOT A SINGLE CATEGORY FOR MUHAJIR.
I named the category Famous Muhajir in order to distinguish Urdu speaking celebrities of Pakistan from other Muhajir related issues.
