NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Routes in Fairfield County, Connecticut
- Category:Routes in Fairfield County, Connecticut to Category:Transportation in Fairfield County, Connecticut
- Merge, since the parent isn't exactly overloaded with articles, and Connecticut state highways directly includes all routes. NE2 15:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Cub Wikipedians
That was very rude how I specifically said that I would respond in 8 hours, that it is late at night in my part of the world and, others having no respect for that, go ahead and continue the discussion without my explanation, and lack of information behind my reasoning, I am posting another long paragraph explaining this so please wait. -PatPeter 15:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Should you not have waited to post your rationale instead of just putting it up here and adding a template to the category? - Alison 15:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I just wrote two full dam paragraphs explaining my reasoning, and, forgetting to copy my work, just lost all of it, so if you let me edit instead of jumping the gun I will tell you my rationale. -PatPeter 16:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- And no, I will use this template, seeing as I will be ignoured any other way. -PatPeter 16:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, I came across this category while sorting userboxes (and I wish to petition my prototype Wikiprojects to become official, where might I do that?) and I found this category. I promise you this category only had three members and two sentences of text.
- At the time I did not know Categories for discussion existed, which I probably should have assumed but for lent I am trying not to make an @55 out of u and me, so I tried to speedy it, I also did not know that anyone could take off a speedy. Soon when I saw that it was no longer there and thought that an admin had taken it off without any consideration to my plea. Seeing that this had happened I took the three userpages out of this category to fight being rude with being rude, fire with fire, which I do not usually do, but that is why when I marked it again I put cheap admin powers and then changed it to no one in this category.
- Overall, I would like to know how many users are required to make a category (I was not allowed to make CG:User fr-0 and that category had at least 50 people in it), why it says that that category is a spin off of the bears when there is no such category, and I will add more comments as I review all other comments shot at me. -PatPeter 16:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:History by ethnic group subcats
Category:History of the Kurds
Category:Roma history
Category:Bosniak history
Category:Basque history
Category:Khitan history
Category:Croatian history
Category:History of the Serbs
Category:Slavic history
Category:History of the Hungarians
Category:History of the Turkic people
- Propose renaming Category:History of the Kurds to Category:History of Kurdish peoples
- Propose renaming Category:Roma history to Category:History of Roma peoples
- Propose renaming Category:Bosniak history to Category:History of Bosniak peoples
- Propose renaming Category:Basque history to Category:History of Basque peoples
- Propose renaming Category:Khitan history to Category:History of Khitan peoples
- Propose renaming Category:Croatian history to Category:History of Croatian peoples
- Propose renaming Category:History of the Serbs to Category:History of the Serbian peoples
- Propose renaming Category:Slavic history to Category:History of Slavic peoples
- Propose renaming Category:History of the Hungarians to Category:History of the Hungarian peoples
- Propose renaming Category:History of the Turkic people to Category:History of the Turkic peoples
- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, for consistency. There is no sense of consistency among subcats of Category:History by ethnic group. I am taking Category:History of the Germanic peoples as a model. -- Cat 15:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Natives of São Paulo (city)
- Propose renaming Category:Natives of São Paulo (city) to Category:People from São Paulo (city)
- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, as convention and in line with the change recently agreed for the parent state here; and keep the old version as a category redirect. VSerrata 15:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Hamilton Bulldogs (1996-2002) players
- Merge, this was requested at the Help Desk by User:Chesterfield99. It appears that the MergeFrom category is redundant. I am not really into sports, so it may be a different team. I hope I am following proper procedure here, this is the first time I have done this. LuigiManiac 14:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Jewish Museum of Florida
- Category:Jewish Museum of Florida (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, this is an article in category space. No objection to making it an article, but it needs cleanup and may have some copyright issues. -- Prove It 13:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Move to Jewish Museum of Florida - The museum is probably notable, but this truly is an article in category space. This seems to happen a couple of times a month. I will suggest creating a special procedure to move things like this from category to article space. Dr. Submillimeter 14:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Culture of West Virginia
- Propose renaming Category:Culture of West Virginia to Category:West Virginia culture
- Nominator's Rationale: this category should be renamed in to match the other categories in Category:American culture by state. A previous CfD led to this anomaly. Conversly, I would also be open to renaming all of the other categories to match the naming convention established for WV in the previous CfD. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 13:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:West Virginia culture, or make an umbrella nomination to make the others match Culture of Foo. Either way is good, but all the states should match. -- Prove It 14:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Stereolab singles
- Category:Stereolab singles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Rename to Category:Stereolab songs, convention of Category:Songs by artist, and discussion of June 9th. -- Prove It 13:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Series broadcast by Hero TV
- Category:Series broadcast by Hero TV (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Rename to Category:Hero TV shows, convention of Category:Television series by network, or Delete. There is already a list article. -- Prove It 12:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Nature reserves of Costa Rica
- Propose renaming Category:Nature reserves of Costa Rica to Category:Nature reserves in Costa Rica
- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, convention of Category:Nature reserves. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Rename per convention of Category:Nature reserves. -- Prove It 14:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Planned or proposed arenas
- Propose renaming Category:Planned or proposed arenas to Category:Planned or proposed indoor arenas
- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, for clarity and to match Category:Indoor arenas. AshbyJnr 12:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Animal births by year
This category is heavily underpopulated and there's not enough famous animals born in the same year to make such a categorization useful. I suggest this category and it subcategories are deleted and that any articles in it are recategorized in the regular births and deaths categories. Mgm
- I think that's a reasonable point. No need to promote systemic bias for humans, we may have dolphin editors at some point. Silliness aside, merge as overly small. >Radiant< 10:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Animal births should be kept separate from human births, just as are the "births" of books, buildings, albums and everything else that is not a person. LukeHoC 12:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Undecided All three options seem bad. Keeping these ridiculously small categories seems pointless. Merging to births of human beings isn't a great idea as it seems absurd to use the same cat for animals. On the other hand, I see no reason to delete the info completely... How about reorganizing the category (for now) by merging decades or even centuries (for the 18th and 19th century)? At least we get categories with more than a single entry... Pascal.Tesson 14:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Considering that some animals live and die during the same decade, I think that such a wide category would fuzz the data and make it quite useless. — coelacan — 16:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I really don't see what's wrong with merging birth years of non-human animals with human animals. It keeps the information, and when you're looking at a non-human animal's article page, you don't mistake them for a human, so there's no confusion here. Just go ahead and merge. — coelacan — 16:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: The categories are small now because they are new. As time goes on, the categories will be populated and will be larger. Q0 16:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Satellite Earth Stations in...
- Category:Satellite Earth Stations in Malaysia to Category:Earth stations in Malaysia
- Category:Satellite Earth Stations in Singapore to Category:Earth stations in Singapore
- Propose renaming, in accordance to earth station, which states either a satellite earth station or teleport can be regarded as an earth station. Both categories list satellite earth stations and teleports. Also proposing renaming to eliminate capitalisation, per writing of earth station. - Two hundred percent 10:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:Early Middle Japanese texts
Category:Old Japanese texts already exists. It is a category of texts written in Old Japanese. Recently Category:Late Old Japanese texts was also created. Texts for other linguistic periods needed a proper category. So I created Category:Early Middle Japanese, Category:Late Middle Japanese, and Category:Early Modern Japanese. In my haste, I accidentally neglected to word "texts". Thus, the move proposal to bring them in line with the other two. The intention of each category is to sub-categorize the various texts into their appropriate linguistic periods. Without the "texts" suffix, the categories are fairly vague.
- Propose renaming Category:Early Middle Japanese to Category:Early Middle Japanese texts
- Propose renaming Category:Late Middle Japanese to Category:Late Middle Japanese texts
- Propose renaming Category:Early Modern Japanese to Category:Early Modern Japanese texts
- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, See above. Bendono 03:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Walton 12:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Category:United States Virgin Islander people
- Category:United States Virgin Islander people to Category:People from the United States Virgin Islands or the other way around
- Merge, I created United States Virgin Islander people without realizing the other category already existed. They should be merged, but I'm not sure which one is in the correct form. jwillbur 00:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy merge per nom. Doczilla 04:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy merge to Category:People from the United States Virgin Islands.--Keefer4 | Talk 05:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:People from the United States Virgin Islands. -- Prove It 14:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
