Category:New York Herald Tribune personnel

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. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:New York Herald Tribune personnel to Category:New York Herald Tribune people

Nominator's rationale: Merge. These are identical categories; and "New York Herald Tribune people" is the larger of the two categories and the one with the title ("people" versus "personnel") that better fits typical Wikipedia usage. -- Cuppysfriend (talk) 21:04, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom and per convention of Category:Newspaper people by newspaper. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge These two categories are the same or almost the same. In any case, close enough to merge them. Debresser (talk) 02:53, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge in line with nom. Anyone that could be filed under 'personnel' can be filed under 'people'. The reverse may not always be true. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 05:10, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Merge As the person who created the personnel category, I support the merge and am beffled as to why I would have used that wording in the first place. Alansohn (talk) 03:56, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Deleted per G7 creator request. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 20:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: it duplicates Category:Church of England schools; created in error. Saga City (talk) 20:53, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:20, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:New Democracy politicians to Category:New Democracy (Greece) politicians

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Category is intended for politicians of main Greek conservative political party. Disambiguation is needed in order to disambiguate from the Marxist idea and other parties with the same name. Darwinek (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:40, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename to Category:Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). The party has changed name, and the main article was moved a while back. Soman (talk) 15:44, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to match head article Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per BrownHairedGirl. Debresser (talk) 02:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Former municipalities in the United States

The result of the discussion was: Rename all per nom - WP:CSD#C2 No.4. --Xdamr^talk 19:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Former cities in Arkansas to Category:Former municipalities in Arkansas

Propose renaming Category:Former cities in Connecticut to Category:Former municipalities in Connecticut

Propose renaming Category:Disincorporated communities in Iowa to Category:Former municipalities in Iowa

Propose renaming Category:Former cities in Kansas to Category:Former municipalities in Kansas

Propose renaming Category:Former cities in Kentucky to Category:Former municipalities in Kentucky

Propose renaming Category:Former cities in Nebraska to Category:Former municipalities in Nebraska

Propose renaming Category:Defunct municipalities in New Jersey to Category:Former municipalities in New Jersey

Propose renaming Category:Defunct municipalities of Pennsylvania to Category:Former municipalities in Pennsylvania

Nominator's rationale: Rename to match and clarify contents; these are for articles on settlements that were formerly incorporated as municipalities (not all of which were classed as "cities"). This will conform these categories to their parent, Category:Former municipalities in the United States, and to the name followed by the other 21 subcategories that currently exist. postdlf (talk) 15:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom, for consistency with convention of Category:Former municipalities in the United States. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 7#Category:2.5D video games. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:2.5D video games to Category:Video games with 2.5D graphics

Category:Parliamentary constituency of Salisbury

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. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Parliamentary constituency of Salisbury to Category:Politics of Salisbury

Nominator's rationale: Merge per WP:OC#SMALL. This category has limited capability for expansion, the merge target category is sparsely populated, and in any case the articles are adequately interlinked. I am am not aware of any other categories for individual parliamentary constituencies. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - the three by-election articles could easily go into the politics category, which leaves a single article for the category. Single article categories = not good. Totnesmartin (talk) 12:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per above. Categories for single political constituencies seem like a bad idea. Robofish (talk) 02:04, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Even after the merge, there will be 7 articles in the combined category. Hardly an unwealdy number. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 05:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge by all means. If kept it should be Category:Salisbury (UK Parliament constituency) to match main article. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:35, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Deaths due to insect stings

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/rename before the discussion bugs me to death. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest renaming Category:Deaths due to insect stings to Category:Deaths due to insect bites and stings

Suggest merging Category:Deaths due to insect bites to Category:Deaths due to insect bites and stings

Nominator's rationale: Rename/merge. Whether we want to call them "stings" or "bites", I don't see any reason why these should not be merged together. The corresponding article is Insect bites and stings. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:54, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename/Merge per nom. Lugnuts (talk) 09:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

rename/merge to proposed title - if there's an article it makes sense for the category to share the name. Could feasibly have been WP:BOLDed. Totnesmartin (talk) 12:44, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And have certain users again drone on about me abusing my "admin power"? No thanks! Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 20:39, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In a category about insects, there is bound to be the odd drone. It gives them a buzz. Totnesmartin (talk) 23:54, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pfleas don't bee a pest. It's starting to bug me. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:15, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and merge per nom. And make it a speedy, before we drown in puns. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:30, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and merge per nom and others. Hazir (talk) 13:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and rename and I will avoid all attempts to bug BrownHairedGirl with a pun! Bradjamesbrown (talk) 05:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I could make quite a waspish reply to that ... --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ticked off, are you? Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:17, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thous shouldst flea from here, thou punster. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:51, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This whole thread has become a mite bit regrettable. postdlf (talk) 16:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do I look like I am showing a smidgeon of concern? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:31, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
