Category:Users who want Rock Hero

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Delete. --Xdamr^talk 00:43, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category not in compliance with WP:USERCAT as it does not support collaboration. — ξ ^xplicit 22:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No harm. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 07:36, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a category that groups users on the basis of a desire that has absolutely no relation to encyclopedia-building (some precedents: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). The userbox is fine for expressing the sentiment, but user categories should not be used merely as bottom-of-the-page notices. A grouping of users who want to be rock stars does nothing to facilitate encyclopedic collaboration. –BLACK FALCON ^(TALK) 18:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - silly, and of no use for collaboration. Feel free to make a userbox instead. Robofish (talk) 01:49, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The United States of America songs

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Propose renaming Category:The United States of America songs to Category:The United States of America (band) songs

Nominator's rationale: I'm well aware that these types of nominations are under dispute, but this one just screams ambiguity. I found this category while patrolling new categories, thinking it contains songs about the United States. I believe this category should be renamed with the addition of the "(band)" disambiguation to avoid this unclarity. — ξ ^xplicit 21:59, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename in line with other "Category:<Artist name> songs" and especially potentially ambiguous ones such as Category:Propaganda (band) songs. Arguably Category:The Presidents of the United States of America songs should be made similarly specific? AllyD (talk) 22:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename – I'm not sure what the basis for a dispute with this one would be. Occuli (talk) 02:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rename to match title of parent article. Alansohn (talk) 02:46, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I find myself intrigued by the idea that people patrol new categories. Out of curiosity, how did you resolve what the category was for? Also, is the dab phrase too entrenched on Wikipedia for us to consider a "songs by the band" format? My main reason for asking is that I just can't help but feel using proper English wherever possible is more accessible than using parentheses. I just can't help but wonder if we're making things a little too impenetrable to newcomers. Hiding T 20:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nominator. This is still a speedy. And I don't think that unnecessary Rfc will change that. Debresser (talk) 02:38, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Since we seem to be forum shopping, the unnecessary Rfc seems to be moving towards the merging of G6 into G4, since no-one can work out what G6 adds that G4 doesn;t already do. Hiding T 09:38, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - And this wouldn't meet the traditional criteria of G6 anyway. There is no disambiguated parent category named Category:The United States of America (band) that we would be matching this category to. G6 has never applied to matching a category to a disambiguated article. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 20:45, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Administrative nomination

Further to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_November_14#Category:Analysis, Category:Analysis was deleted. After representations from User:Mion at User_talk:Xdamr#Analysis, I am relisting this category for fresh consideration, with the presumption that No Consensus will, ~~as per usual~~ contrary to the usual convention for deleted content, default to Keep (or, in this case, Restore). [1] indicates category contents as of 21/11/09.

I am Neutral.

Xdamr^talk 18:46, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"No consensus" defaults to keep for content that currently exists, not to recreate content that has been previously deleted. Particularly not for a CFD that was closed less than a week ago. If you want to make an exception in this instance, I don't think anyone will object, given that you had closed the CFD, which also had very little participation. But I just don't want that being taken as a statement of general policy and procedure. postdlf (talk) 19:54, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, absolutely. Basically, for the sake of being equitable, this is a rerun of the original Cfd, only with the category already deleted; hence the setting aside of what, as you say, is the usual rule re. 'No Consensus' and deleted categories. Sloppy wording on my part, now amended. --Xdamr^talk 20:00, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a mishmash category of articles with the word "analysis" in them. I'm open to arguments that there is more to it than that, but so far I haven't heard any. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:39, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Actually, having read Mion and Debresser's contributions to the previous CfD I had been about to change my Delete to a Keep but by the time I got there the discussion had been terminated, as had the category. That said, it was going to be a Weak Keep, merely on the formal basis that the category contents matched the content of the Analysis article; I still think it is a mishmash of much that humans do (and could ultimately stretch all the way from Aristotle to football pundits like Alan Hansen). But if people feel that the category really adds to human knowledge, then maybe it should be reinstated. AllyD (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep (restore) I can't imagine what use it would be to most users, but there seems to some coherence in the contents. Johnbod (talk) 22:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (restore The given rationale: Analysis is a philosophical method which was applied later on in different sciences, which explains the different fields in the cat[2] is a nice start on its origins, but the article is not complete, "The supplementary document, Modern Conceptions of Analysis, outside Analytic Philosophy is not yet available.", the same with the wiki article .Mion (talk) 23:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep ctageory that unites common articles by a defining characteristic for navigation purposes. Alansohn (talk) 02:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Adoptees adopted by family

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Adoptees adopted by relations. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Adoptees adopted by family to Category:?

Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure how this should be renamed. All I know is the current title is confusing; before I looked at the contents, I thought it was somehow for grouping adoptees by what family adopted them. Perhaps Category:People adopted by family members?

But I also question whether this should be maintained as a separate category within Category:Adoptees. I can see there being a real difference between people adopted by complete strangers (i.e., people given away by their biological parents) and people adopted by family members (such as by an uncle or grandmother after being orphaned). But that would seem to either minimize the adoption status of those within this category as being less significant than those who are adopted by strangers (who are just included in Category:Adoptees, without such qualification), or it would beg the creation of Category:People adopted by non-family members. There is also the beginnings of adoptees by nationality, with Category:American adoptees, so we would either eventually intersect this with that (Category:American adoptees adopted by family members and Category:American adoptees adopted by strangers), or not intersect them and thus have adoptees categorized as such both by nationality and by who adopted them. Thoughts? Just rename, or merge? postdlf (talk) 18:42, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If kept, rename to Category:Adoptees adopted by relations; neutral on the need for it. Johnbod (talk) 22:17, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Adoptees adopted by relations. A bit of an odd category, but I think it's probably acceptable. Robofish (talk) 01:47, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 6#Category:Industrial design examples. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete: The category is not defined, and there are no clear requirements for inclusion. Whilst a few examples may be obvious examples of Industrial design examples, in many cases it is a matter of opinion. Articles may be added because an editor favours a particular product, but there is no overall consistency. It seems to serve no purpose - we cover this much better at Industrial design, and at least there, examples that are added can be discussed, and references requested. The main purpose for a category as well as an article is if we want to list every possibility, but trying to assess whether every product on Wikipedia counts as an "Industrial design example" or not seems unfeasible, given the amount of articles, and the lack of any criteria. The category has been around for years, and shows no signs of going anywhere, beyond a pick-and-mix selection of 50 articles. I raised this at the talk page, and got one comment in agreement, but no suggestions for improvement. Mdwh (talk) 15:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I see the problems - really this is "notable or famous examples of industrial design", which isn't allowed, but we should have a category for actual examples rather than just designers etc. Looking at the category quickly all do seem worth including, and if the category has worked long-term on a "self-selecting" basis, it's best to leave it alone. Johnbod (talk) 22:11, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment But do you have an answer to the question of what the criteria should be, or do we just let anything go in there if someone adds it? What use does a category with either a random selection of products (as it is now), or a very large selection of uncategorised products (if it's updated) serve? We already have category hierarchies for listing hardware products (e.g., see Category:Manufactured_goods) that do allow finding of products much more effectively. Mdwh (talk) 10:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
rename to Category:Industrial designs (pluralising it) to match how many other instances of 'examples' are currently handled in WP in many difference subject areas Hmains (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or that. Johnbod (talk) 23:17, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:Industrial designs which captures the content of the category. Alansohn (talk) 02:49, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Note that we already have Category:Industrial design (which is fine, as that's topics about industrial design), so I'm not sure how this category would be different? Mdwh (talk) 10:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Indian Emergency (1975 - 77) to Category:Indian Emergency 1975-1977. --Xdamr^talk 00:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Indian Emergency (1975 - 77) to Category:The Emergency (India)

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match main article The Emergency (India). If current name is preferred, I don't think the date disambiguation is necessary, since Indian Emergency redirects to the main article; thus Category:Indian Emergency would probably suffice.

Rename to Category:Indian Emergency 1975-1977. Retaining the years clarifies that this applies to a particular period in the history of India, and not to a TV show or to emergencies in general or the various states of emergency declared in the colonial era. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:45, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Rename to Category:Indian Emergency 1975-1977 per Bhg. I think the extra clarity is justified in a category name, that is included in international categories. Johnbod (talk) 22:06, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rename to match title of parent article. If the article title is inadequate, change it, rather than create a deliberate discrepancy between the article and the category.Alansohn (talk) 02:55, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Rename to Category:Indian Emergency 1975-1977 as above. This is clearer than the nominated rename. Also rename main article as per Alansohn. Both need to be consistent (and clear). Twiceuponatime (talk) 09:43, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep renamedas suggested. This is a general encyclopedia; to people who know about the history of modern India the dates may seem redundant, but not to the general reader in the English-speaking world. I must confess i had not come across the term before. DGG ( talk ) 05:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Newcastle Knights Articles

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Merge Category:Newcastle Knights Articles to Category:Newcastle Knights. --Xdamr^talk 00:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Seems to be an unnecessary second level of the Newcastle Knights category, especially as it includes templates as well as articles, I'm not sure what purpose it has. Incorrect capitalisation if it is to be kept. The-Pope (talk) 01:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:Newcastle Knights per nom. Neon Merlin 04:53, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me, if you want to delete it or merge it, go ahead. Josh the newcastle fan 4:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Merge to Category:Newcastle Knights per nom. (Some of the pages are added by templates.) Occuli (talk) 20:28, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Category:Newcastle Knights per nom. Category:Newcastle Knights is effectively a "category for Newcastle Knights articles".--Jeff79 (talk) 17:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
