August 22

Non-fictional (Country) literature (part 2)

Rename: This cfr covered a number of re-namings like this, which were all re-named, but these few appear to have been missed. I'm not familiar enough with cfd/cfr/cfm procedure to know if it would be okay to do a speedy rename in this situation. --Icarus 20:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Speedy rename per nom (I was the original nom on that cfr; thanks for catching these.) ♥ Her Pegship♥ 22:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Moved the last two from speedy:--Mike Selinker 02:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

...both for conformity with other sub-cats. ♥ Her Pegship♥ 22:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Rename per nom. Osomec 13:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:User:Ans/Forum

Delete - This category apppears to have been created as a test, and I don't think it is needed anymore. The user who created it is barely active now, but I put a message on his talk page to let him know that I put this category up for deletion. --Cswrye 20:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Songs dealing with The Holocaust

Delete, Songs should not be categorized by topic. This may work as a list if there are more songs (see Category:Lists of songs about a topic), but it doesn't belong in a category. musicpvm 19:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep - I don't see a problem with the category, and in fact it seems like a perfect fit as a subcategory for Category:Holocaust. In general, in fact, it seems reasonable to me to have categories for works by topic if that topic has a corresponding category of its own. It gives a reader interested in that topic a chance to review all works associated with that topic in one place, and serves that function better than a list (since categories are essentially auto-linking and auto-updating). Dugwiki 23:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep as per Dugwiki. CameoAppearance 23:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Quick follow-up - One thing though to follow up on what I said above; if the number of songs is low, it might make sense to instead make the category "Works dealing with The Holocaust", allowing it to also include books, film, art and music all in one category. At that point it would be a question of whether or not it's worth subcategorizing that Works cat. So I would be in favor of either keeping as "Music", or renaming to "Works", whichever seems a better fit.Dugwiki 23:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment. This seems fine. We might need a couple of new main categories like category:Songs by topic and category:Songs by venue (for such things as category:Eurovision songs and category:Melodifestivalen songs).--Mike Selinker 02:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep as per Dugwiki. Osomec 13:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Victoria's Secret Angels

Delete, Not needed. RobJ1981 18:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep. The reason I argued for keeping this category in the last wave of LilFlip's additions is that this is a very notable sorority of models.--Mike Selinker 19:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep, Albeit a weak keep, there is notability to this select group of models. Doc ♬ talk 19:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete We don't categorize models by brand. Osomec 13:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Spider-Man characters

Delete, Unnecessary intermediate category. Two subpages and two subcategories could just as easily be in the parent categories. HKMARKS 18:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep as the two subcategories house 202 articles. — Reinyday, 18:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm definitely not suggesting deleting the subcategories, just the intermediate one. Category:Spider-Man villains and Category:Spider-Man supporting characters can go in Category:Spider-Man instead. -HKMARKS 18:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
  - Yeah, I realized that, and I think you idea of removing th eintermediary is good. — Reinyday, 20:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Move subcategories up to partent catecories. — Reinyday, 20:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep. The umbrella category allows the characters to be included in categories like Category:Animated characters without unnecessary duplication. - EurekaLott 02:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Recently created eponymous fashion model categories

Lil Flip246 has created Category:Categories named after fashion models and almost 30 subcategories. Almost all of these categories contain only one to four articles, most only containing one. All of these models are definitely not notable enough to deserve eponymous cats. This is too much. They should all be deleted before this gets even more out of control. The one that seems to contain the most (8) is Category:Tyra Banks and that is only because the category was placed in EVERY movie Tyra has ever appeared in. We already decided against this way of categorizing when we deleted Category:Films by actor. --musicpvm 17:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete them all. Non-notable models don't need categories. RobJ1981 18:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete them all per nom. Doc ♬ talk 18:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete all except category:Paris Hilton and category:Gia Carangi. The former gets my blessing because Hilton has separate album and song categories (and this category was created before this wave of model categories), and the latter because of Gia's notable posthumous biopics (including Angelina Jolie's breakout role). Everything else seems like it should go away.--Mike Selinker 19:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete all Help stop the proliferation of useless eponymous categories. -- Samuel Wantman 21:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Chicheley 21:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Erotic writers

Category:Erotic writers to Category:Erotica writers

Rename, I'm sure some writers are really hot, but I think this is meant to house people who write Erotica, which is one of the parent categories, instead of writers that are erotic. — Reinyday, 17:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename but I think that Category:Writers of erotica would be better. Doc ♬ talk 18:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Proposed format matches others in Category:Writers by genre.-choster 21:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename per nom. ♥ Her Pegship♥ 22:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedian authors of Good Articles

Category:Wikipedian authors of Good Articles to Category:Wikipedian authors of good articles

Rename - I initially proposed a speedy renaming of this category, but someone mentioned that "Good Articles" should be capitalized. This category stood out to me because Category:Wikipedian authors of featured articles, Category:Wikipedian authors of featured lists, and Category:Wikipedian authors of featured portals are not similarly capitalized. I will note that "good articles" is not capitalized at Misplaced Pages:Good articles, Misplaced Pages:What is a good article?, Misplaced Pages:Good article candidates, or most of the other project pages that address good articles, but I may withdraw my nomination after I see how the discussion goes. Cswrye 14:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment. "Good" is considerably vaguer than "Featured"; a casual user might judge an article "good" without foreknowledge of WP:GA, but could not judge it "featured" with or without knowledge of WP:FA. Since these both describe a specific class of articles—and indeed, an article "featured" on a portal cannot be described with that word because it has a reserved meaning for WP—a proper noun is in order. I'd also point out that usage is by no means consistent even on project pages; there are Good Articles, 'Good Articles,' and 'Good articles' as well as good articles. For the time being, why not Category:Authors of Misplaced Pages good articles or Category:Wikipedian authors of GA-class articles? -choster 18:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete or Rename to Category:Wikipedians who nominated Good Articles or Category:Wikipedians who worked on Good Articles or something similar. I don't like the idea that anyone can claim authorship of an article, even if they were the only contributor to the article. This is a Wiki. To make this project work EVERYONE must buy into the idea that this is a collaborative effort. No individual should ever take authorship credit. I nominated an article for featured article status, but I am not the author. It was a collective effort. I contributed the large majority of effort into creating and editing a list that made it to featured list status, but that still does not make me the author. Even if I was the only editor of a featured or good articles, others will edit them in the future. I think of myself more as a guardian or fascilitator of the article. These categories give people the wrong idea about Wikis. -- Samuel Wantman 21:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I see no reason why we cannot have a fully collaborative effort while at the same time recognizing that some contributions are more substantial than others, and that some people can legitimately (if not formally) claim to have "authored" a particular article. (This aside from the quite pedantic point that one may be an author without being the author; this is why the GFDL discusses "authorship" and "authors" and explicitly requires that they be properly attributed.) Kirill Lokshin 03:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  - I agree with Kirill Lokshin. The description of the category clearly states that it is for editors who have made significant contributions to good articles or otherwise pushed the articles through the candidacy process. As long as that is in the description, I don't think that we need to make the title of the category more lengthy than it already is. --Cswrye 04:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
    - I have no problem with the description with the category, just the name. If it is for editors that have made significant contributions to good articles, then call it Category:Wikipedian major contributors to good articles. When I hear someone introduced as "Author of XXX" I don't think, "It was probably a collaborative effort". -- Samuel Wantman 08:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians using WikiVoter

Category:Wikipedians using WikiVoter to Category:Wikipedians using WikiDiscussion Manager

Rename, WikiVoter has been renamed WikiDiscussion Manager. kingboyk 13:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename. Misplaced Pages is not a democracy, after all. ;) --M @r ē ino 14:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename per nom. --Cswrye 14:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename the entire program has been renamed... so this should be renamed as well. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 17:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Krais of Russia

Category:Krais of Russia to Category:Territories of Russia
and

Category:Oblasts of Russia

Category:Oblasts of Russia to Category:Provinces of Russia

To use what appears to be the standard English equivalent. David Kernow 12:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Rename as nom. David Kernow 12:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Oppose, and move Provinces of Russia back to Oblasts of Russia too. I think the term is fairly well-known, and you'll find it in an any English dictionary as well as in Misplaced Pages (Oblast). Also, all of its subcategories and their main articles use oblast. ×Meegs 13:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, if so, the plurals used are incorrect. Until I became interested in administrative (sub)divisions, I had never heard of either; so considering this is meant to be a general encyclopedia using English... Regards, David Kernow 13:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

All of the individual articles are titled oblast (e.g. Volgograd Oblast); so long as that's the case, I think the list and categories should use the same term (with either oblasti or oblasts for the plural). If you are planning to rename all of the individual articles, then I'd be ok with it, but I'd suggest discussing that somewhere else first. ×Meegs 13:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Oppose, it's standard practice to use oblast and krai -- ask User:Ezhiki. —Nightstallion (?) 13:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Oppose as oblast is the accepted term. I don't think it translates correctly as "province" and if that is so then to use province is misleading. --BlackJack | 13:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawn as I was unaware I was wandering into an area with consensus favo/uring non-English terms. Apologies! David Kernow 13:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

New Zealand regional categories

After discussion at various NZ-related Wikispace pages, I propose bringing several New Zealand regional categories into line with the true regions which they are meant to represent:

Category:Bay of Plenty-East Coast. Delete, and split contents between Category:Bay of Plenty and Category:Gisborne Region
Category:Nelson, New Zealand. Delete, and split contents between Category:Tasman Region and Category:Nelson Region (the city for which the category is currently named is almost coterminous with the region, but not quite).

No objection to adding the word "Region" to the BoP category, although there is less need to disambiguate in that case than in the other cases. Grutness...wha? 10:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete and split per nom. I would prefer to add "Region" to the BoP category name, for consistency and clarity, but as you say it doesn't make much real difference. -- Avenue 13:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I tend to agree, though that would mean renaming about a dozen other categories - I picked the easier option. No objection to a group nomination of those, though. Grutness...wha? 00:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Hackers by nationality

Delete with all subcategories. Same reasons as for Category:Hackers - national categories are as much ambiguos and controversial as original category. If we don't delete them, someone soon recreates main category following red link generated by {{Fooian fooers}} (very hackish name for a template, BTW). If we keep these, there's no point in deleting Category:Hackers... A.J. 09:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep - No conviencing arguments. -- Szvest 10:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC) User:FayssalF/Sign
Delete or rename. "Hacker" is a controversial - possibly even libellous - term (although I accept that it has innocent origins). Category:Hackers has been deleted, so it makes no sense to keep Category:Hackers by nationality. --kingboyk 13:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete since Category:Hackers was deleted. Crumbsucker 15:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete all. Osomec 22:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete all as surely it will lead to POV inclusions. --BlackJack | 13:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Greek Diaspora Royalty

Delete. Initially I was going to put this up for speedy renaming to remove the incorrect capitals, but looking at the contents it is a weird sort of ethnic category that includes the likes of Lady Louise Windsor and several members of the Yugoslav royal family on ancestral grounds. Ethnic-ancestral categorisation is totally inappropriate for European royals because most of them have a mixture of bloodlines from all over the continent. For instance every British royal for the last three hundred years could be placed in Category:German diaspora royalty but the only reason to do so would be to make some sort of political/nationalist point. Piccadilly 08:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Osomec 10:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete; unfocused per Picadilly and miscapitaliz/sed. David Kernow 23:25, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Companies of England by head office location to Category:Companies of the United Kingdom by head office location

Merge, Another piece of tiresome Scottish nationalism from Mais Oui. The UK is a single economy, a company cannot be registered in England alone, and Category:Companies of England has already been deleted. Merge to Category:Companies of the United Kingdom by head office location. Carina22 08:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
~~Keep~~ (see below) - it strikes me as rather bizarre to try to deny that England has any companies. England has one of the largest economies in the world, and many of the world's most important corporations. All of them are subject to English law, as opposed to Scots law or Northern Ireland law. Sorting by the location of their head offices seems to be a very logical way to categorise them. Please note that this cat is made up of subcategories: that Liverpool, Bristol, London etc. are all located in England is surely beyond doubt (have a look in an atlas). Further, the nominator's opening sentence is a breach of WP:NPA: "Using someone's affiliations as a means of dismissing or discrediting their views." I would certainly not describe myself as a supporter of "Scottish nationalism"; and I consider myself to be an Anglophile. --Mais oui! 08:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge- although companies are registered in either England and Wales or Scotland- company law is the same throughout Great Britain. Astrotrain 08:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

That is simply not true. There are very important variations: for example in cases of liquidation. Besides, that is a subsidiary point: this category is a very important subcategory of Category:Organisations based in England. --Mais oui! 08:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

- Which in its original form as Category:English organisations was one of your categories, which you used to attempt to make the category system imply that there is no such thing as a British organisation, and it was nearly deleted. It has long been established that you have an underlying political agenda to minimise the prominence of the UK in the category system, but as the UK is an independent state and its constituent parts are not NPOV requires that the UK should take priority. Osomec 10:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename to category:Companies based in England by head office location so that it is simply an organisational category for the local "companies based in" categories or (second choice) delete. As usual Mais Oui is resorting to legalistic nit-picking. The UK operates as a single economy and businesses run on a commercial basis,. They are not law book exercises. For those who don't know, Mais Oui has been running a campaign to split up the UK categories in ways that don't reflect the reality that the UK is a single state for perhaps a year, and many of his categories have been deleted in the past. Osomec 10:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename to Category:Companies based in England by head office location; and we should also rename all of the "Companies" categories to the standard "based in" phraseology applied to all other organisations. I am not going to rise to the childish baiting (eg. "... you used to attempt to... blah, blah"). Cut the personal hostility. --Mais oui! 13:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Some users may have the moral authority to censure other users in this way, but you most don't, especially when you include a personal attack in the same comment. Osomec 23:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep or rename to Category:Companies based in England by head office location or, better still, Category:Companies based in England (although they may still be sorted by head office location, I don't think we need that lengthy subtitle). We have Category:Companies based in Maine, why not a category for companies based in England? British companies are incorporated in England and Wales, or in Scotland, AFAIK (not sure about NI); Scotland has a seperate legal system and we're no more a single state than the USA is. --kingboyk 13:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- The U.S. is a single independent country and so is the UK. The U.S. state categories are head office location categories and do not subdivide companies by type, or should not do so. All UK companies of a given type should be in a single category and a category called Category:Companies based in England would undermine that. Chicheley 21:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
rename to Category:Companies based in England by head office location. Do not abbreviate as that will widen the scope, which is undesirable. Chicheley 21:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge into Category:Companies of the United Kingdom by head office location. Dividing British companies in this way is false. There is one main UK stock exchange and all the companies are included in the same FTSE indices. Nonomy 10:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge as per Nonomy. Point about UK stock exchange is entirely valid. There are undoubtedly many companies founded in England which now have their head offices in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Isle of Man, etc. so to introduce a regional location concept is going to be self-defeating as well as inaccurate. Although I'm opposed to the use of "UK" in certain contexts, it is entirely appropriate to companies. --BlackJack | 13:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge I am changing my vote to merge as this could be the thin end of the wedge. Most of the notable companies in Scotland (and the issue at hand is really Scotland, even though the category mentions England rather than Scotland) have the whole of the UK as their domestic market. The fact that the only user who has created English company categories is Scottish, even though there must be roughly ten times as many English users as Scottish users, shows that they are not appropriate. Osomec 13:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Misplaced Pages Sock Puppet Master

Category:Misplaced Pages Sock Puppet Master into Category:Alternate Misplaced Pages accounts

Merge - These two categories appear to serve the same purpose. Cswrye 05:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep as is One is supposed to be for the primary account, the other is supposed to be for listed sockpuppets of a user. As in, my socks that I use (in accordance with policy), are in Alternate Misplaced Pages accounts, while myself would be in the sock puppet master category. Unfortunatly, the former is not used very much, but that's no reason to merge them. Kevin_b_er 20:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Fictional hypocrites

Delete - This category is completely subjective and can never truly be POV. Either way, I can't see how it would be useful Max Talk (add) 05:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep. This fictional character categories are actually quite objective. If possible, empty the cat of members who don't belong there, first. I find these categories useful when I'm researching fiction, but others may find them less than necessary. —Viriditas | Talk 06:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Osomec 10:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete - Besides being subjective, it may be too broad since so many fictional characters have been hypocritical in some way or another. --Cswrye 14:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Crumbsucker 15:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. While the term "fictional" is something you can objectively verify, being a "hypocrite" is very subjective and open to debate. Dugwiki 15:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:User Misplaced Pages

Delete - From what I can tell, this category was created solely because of a userbox. It doesn't make much sense--every Wikipedian user page is going to be on Misplaced Pages, so why create a category for it? Cswrye 05:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. --musicpvm 06:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. I've also nominated the template in question for deletion - Misplaced Pages:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_22. "This user is a member of Misplaced Pages"?! --kingboyk 14:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete no point in a category that basically includes every user. DrunkenSmurf 16:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete, so all-inclusive as to be pointless. CameoAppearance 23:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete. A more useful category is category:Wikipedians whose hobby is Misplaced Pages, which at least requires you to make it a personal preference rather than just a fact that you're here.--Mike Selinker 11:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Alleged and suspected Northern Irish terrorists

Delete. Half-pregnant category with one member. Terrorists aren't categorized as alleged or suspected. The article may even require deletion or merging. —Viriditas | Talk 04:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Category hasn't been filled yet. There are plenty of alleged and/or suspected terrorists who are Northern Irish. The one article included notes that it has been alleged that the subject is a member of the IRA. --Mal 16:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Merge per nom. --Cswrye 14:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
What is the rationale for this merger? Bollywood films are a subset of Indian cinema. Is there a problem with the current arrangement? - EurekaLott 02:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- That is true, but Category:Hindi-language films already exists. As Bollywood films are Indian Hindi-language films, it is redundant. Maybe the cat should be merged into Category:Hindi-language films though. --musicpvm 03:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep (I think). I'm not sure about this. In my mind, Bollywood films are generally over-the-top melodramas with singing and dancing, and specifically based out of Mumbai. Surely not all Indian films are like this, or from Mumbai. This nomination seems analagous to making category:Britpop the same as category:English music. But I could be wrong.--Mike Selinker 11:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
