NEW NOMINATIONS

Edmund Husserl- Moravian Philosopher and Writer. His last name was derived from a follower of John Huss (Jan Hus).–

Category:Jews and Judaism in Kurdistan

Category:Jews and Judaism in Kurdistan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Category:Jews and Judaism by country format is entirely inaproporate. Category is too specific and underpopulated. Cat out 10:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:Religion in Kurdistan

Category:Religion in Kurdistan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Category is too specific and underpopulated. Cat out 10:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:Series of children's books

Propose merging Category:Series of children's books into Category:Children's books by series. The two categories cover the same articles and sub-categories. The Category:Series of children's books is older and has more entries, but the naming of Category:Children's books by series is more appropriate. Note that the following also exist... Category:Children's literature, Category:Children's books, Category:Children's poetry etc.

Category:Cavity wall

Category:Cavity wall (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Contains one article, to which it used to redirect. John Reaves 09:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:Gaming companies

Propose renaming Category:Gaming companies to Category:Gambling companies
  • Rename, The gambling article admits "gaming" is a euphemism to offset public prejudice. While the companies may wish to be called "gaming" companies, wikipedia is in place to describe what things are, not what they'd prefer to be known as. Additionally, "gaming company" confuses gambling with board- and video-game companies, which can be avoided. I call for a category rename. Alvis 07:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Mix-up Nationality

Category:Fictional British people
Category:Fictional English people
Category:Fictional Welsh people
Category:Fictional Northern Irish people
Category:Fictional Scots
  • Merge: I recently find the category Fictional English people in almost all of characters' articles of HP series and I nominate to CfD. This category is excrescent and plays no role in depicting the characteristics. Also, it seems that the category is overabundant with a long list and 6 subcategories (it should be mentioned that this category lies in one of the subcats of "Fictional British people"). In addition, a lot of other subcats enter into each small cat, making the category system goes into a matrix. I suggest we should merge all into a grand cat "Category:Fictional English people" and delete some redundant ones.AbelinCAusesobad 06:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:List of music videos made in the 1990s

  • DELETE - I made a mistake with it and meant for it to be a list versus a category. Thought that this would be the easiest way to deal with it. no discussion necessary. Sorry --dputig07 04:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose as its fiction they could be English or whichever and not British, or from historical fiction from before the days of Great Britain or the United Kingdom. Tim! 07:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment: OK, I'm sorry for the typing mistake, I literally mean that we should merge it into "Fictional English people".AbelinCAusesobad 08:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
But Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish people are definitely not English (and may or not like to be referred to as British)! Tim! 08:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
According to my Scottish friend, they are all British by merit of being citizens of the British Isles but are not all English. I suggest no change because change in either direction seems worse than what we have now. Doczilla 09:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:Rangoon

Category:Rangoon into Category:Yangon

Streetcars in New York City

Category:Streetcars in Brooklyn
Category:Streetcars in the Bronx
Category:Streetcars in Queens
Category:Streetcars in Staten Island
Propose renaming Category:Streetcars in Brooklyn to Category:Streetcar lines in Brooklyn
Propose renaming Category:Streetcars in the Bronx to Category:Streetcar lines in the Bronx
Propose renaming Category:Streetcars in Queens to Category:Streetcar lines in Queens
Propose renaming Category:Streetcars in Staten Island to Category:Streetcar lines in Staten Island

Category:Musical instrument manufacturers

Category:Musical instrument manufacturers into Category:Musical instrument makers
  • Merge, these categories are either identical or confusing. Suggest they are merged. Alternatively the manufacturers category could be restricted to companies, and the makers category to individual makers. Bishop pam 00:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Opposite Merge, in other words, merge the makers one to manufacturers. Sound more encyclopedic. Although I like your alterative too. --Wizardman 00:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge though the new category could as easily be named Musical instrument crafters. I don't understand the linguistic flavorings between manufacturers, crafters, and makers. Kail Ceannai 07:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
