February 22

Category:Delhi Public Schools

[edit]
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.--Mike Selinker (talk) 01:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Delhi Public Schools to Category:Delhi Public School Society
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Suggest renaming to match main article Delhi Public School Society. One problem with the current name is that it can be misinterpreted as meaning "Public schools in Delhi", and that would be quite wrong, since according to the article the schools run by this society are private and they also exist outside of Delhi.

Category:Slaveholding Presidents of the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We've been down this road before, though not at this level of specificity:
There are many things that could be said about this. One problem is essentially that of using a category to give undue weight to a historical fact that means something quite differently today than it meant at the time. To be a slaveholder in early America basically meant you were rich and not necessarily much else, whereas today of course it is viewed quite differently. Another problem if the category is kept is how we treat the previous decisions and where we go from here: if we don't categorize American people in general by slaveholding status, why do we categorize U.S. Presidents by that status?

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Brand management per the article of the same name.--Mike Selinker (talk) 01:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Branding to Category:Brands or splitting to Category:Brands and Category:Brand management
Nominator's rationale: Merge. This is not really about branding which is ambiguous given that livestock branding may be the most common term. Merging to Category:Brands or splitting to Category:Brands and Category:Brand management seems a better choice. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:35, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep, but purge of individuals and repurpose. "Nepotism" may not be the best name for this category, so a renomination to rename it might be in order.--Mike Selinker (talk) 01:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Nepotism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Completely POV with ill-defined parameters. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 04:55, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not bad. It's a bit wider in scope. The important thing is to write explicitly something along the lines "this category should not contain individuals". Pichpich (talk) 23:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Precedent is quite strong against this type of category.--Mike Selinker (talk) 01:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop number-one albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Number-one albums categories have repeatedly been deleted by consensus in other discussions with lists being preferred over categories in these instances. I don't think the creation of a genre category should override any previous consensus. Please see the following CFDs:

Weak Keep - I don't see a problem with the category, I think it is somewhat beneficial to see which albums hit number one on the chart, and having them listed in a category is suitable. — Gabe 19 (talk contribs) 06:40, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
