NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Christian monasteries

See Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_June_27#Category:Priories.

While I can see the want to merge the trees, just as there is a difference between a friar and a monk, so too between a priory and a monastery.

This was also the solution for Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_April_5#Roman_Catholic_Religious_Sisters, a similar ituation. - jc37 14:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Candidates to the United States House of Representatives from Oregon

Nominator's rationale: Category sorts by non-defining characteristic. Running for the US House is generally not a defining characteristic for most politicians. These politicians are all notable for something else. TM 11:41, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Churches dedicated to duos of Saints

Nominator's rationale: There are a number of saints who conventionally appear in pairs (e.g. Saints Cosmas and Damian). Therefore church dedications likewise typically have them appearing in the same pairs. Assuming that the whole dedications categorization survives, I could see having a category of atypical multiple dedications, or maybe a catch-all for all multiple dedications, but I don't see how have a category for the conventionally paired saints improves navigation. Mangoe (talk) 10:46, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Disagree Duos of saints are a specific category and the pairing is often not just in church dedications but also in things such as feast days. In most (but not all) cases there was also quite a lot of overlap in the acts that made them saints. I agree that this should not apply to random pairs of saints - from for example parish mergers, but if the Duo doesn't appear in the parent "Duos of Saints" categories then they can be removed and a note can be added to the category page. JASpencer (talk) 12:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Anti-Catholic pogroms in the United States

Nominator's rationale: I don't see why this deviates from its parent category or from the main article, which is anti-Catholic riots. Mangoe (talk) 10:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Agree with rename as it's more neutral. I'm down as the starter, but it's not me. I picked this up for Anti-Catholic riots because it was already existing under the "pogroms" name. You may want to find the person who started this category and tell them about this so if they want to argue for the original name then they can. JASpencer (talk) 12:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Tyrannus

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Tyrannus is ambiguous. The undisambiguated Tyrannus and Tyrannus (genus) redirect to Kingbird, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 03:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:St. Boniface Saints players

Nominator's rationale: To avoid confusion with the newly created Category:St. Boniface Saints (ice hockey) players. See also Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_June_29#Category:Hamilton_Red_Wings_players.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Regulus

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Regulus is about the star and is otherwise ambiguous. Regulus (genus) redirects to Kinglet, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 03:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Sylvia

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Sylvia is ambiguous. Sylvia (genus) redirects to Typical warbler, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:56, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Bleda

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Bleda is about the brother of Attila the Hun; this category is for the bird genus. Bleda (genus) redirects to Bristlebill, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:52, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Nigrita

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Nigrita is about a town in Greece; this category is for the birds of the genus Nigrita. Nigrita (genus) redirects to Negrofinch, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Miliaria

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Miliaria is about a skin disease; this category is for the bird genus. Miliara (genus) redirects to Corn Bunting, the common name for the bird of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:38, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Irena

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Irena is ambiguous. Irena (genus) redirects to Fairy-bluebird, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Lalage

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Lalage is ambiguous. Lalage (genus) redirects to Triller (bird), the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:18, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Philemon

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Philemon is ambiguous. Philemon (genus) redirects to Friarbird, the common name for birds of this genus. Good Ol’factory 02:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Categories:International architecture (style)

Propose upmerging
Category:International style buildings to Category:International style architecture
Propose renaming
Category:International style buildings in the United States to Category:International style architecture in the United States
Category:International style buildings in the United Kingdom to Category:International style architecture in the United United Kingdom
Category:International style buildings in England to Category:International style architecture in England
Category:International style buildings in Scotland to Category:International style architecture in Scotland
Nominator's rationale: “architecture” not “buildings” is the usual names for these categories and the category Category:International style architecture already contains some buildings (some of which should be in Category:International style architecture in the United States) Hugo999 (talk) 02:07, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Periods in Literary history

Nominator's rationale: Category contains only one article; seems superfluous alongside Category:History of literature and Category:Literary movements. Someone on the talk page suggested a merge with the latter, but such is the lack of merge-able entries that, in my opinion, nothing would be lost if this category were simply deleted. At the very least, it should be renamed so that the "l" in "Literary" is in lower case. SuperMarioMan 01:54, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Falco

Nominator's rationale: Merge or rename. Falco is ambiguous. I'm not convinced we need to separate this category from the logical category Category:Falcons, but if a separate category is desired for individual species within the genus, it at least needs to be disambiguated. Note that Falco (genus) redirects to Falcon. Good Ol’factory 01:52, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Category:Churches offering the Tridentine Mass

Nominator's rationale: Delete. The nature of the religious services offered in a particular church change from time to time. Essentially, this is a category for churches that currently offer the Tridentine Mass. Categories work best when they do not distinguish between current and former statuses, but with this category, I don't think that is possible. It would make little sense to categorize every church that has ever offered the Tridentine Mass. Good Ol’factory 01:09, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a category for churches where their Misplaced Pages page says that they are currently offering the Tridentine Mass. And the idea that because things infrequently change therefore there should not be a category is not a good argument, otherwise we'd have to get rid of Category:Living people. JASpencer (talk)
  • leaning delete I have somewhat mixed feelings about this one, but when all is said and done the offering of various rites is a property of the clergy, not the building; and these are articles where notability is being earned through architectural and historic merit.
