Category:1910 disestablishments in Turkey

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Category:1910 disestablishments in Turkey to Category:1910 disestablishments in the Ottoman Empire
  • Nominator's rationale The country at the time is refered to in wikipedia as the Ottoman Empire. At the time the term Turkey was at times used. When it was used it was used as a synonym for the Ottoman Empire. Thus my 1910 Farmer's Atlas shows a place it designates as Turkey stretching to the Adriatic Sea and covering what is today Albania and other such places. Beyond this, both articles involved identify the location involved as being in the Ottoman Empire, one Moda FC, has a statement saying it is not Turkish on the talk page. On the other the page is identified as being part of the wikipedia project for the Ottoman Empire. Disestablishments by year is a place by year category, and the logical place to identifiy is the place at the time. We use Turkey in wikipedia to refer to the modern nation-state of that name. Since that nation-state was not formed until 1923, it is particularly odd to identify places disestablished 13 years earlier with it. Whether these things should be in any Turkey categories is another question, they might well be, but it makes way more sense to do place by year categories in a way that they reflect the places in the years involved.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:43, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename; why didn't you put this at WP:CFDS? It's highly important that category names follow article names, and since the article name for this country at this time is Ottoman Empire, the category name should do likewise. Nyttend (talk) 02:17, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Rename to omit the word legislatures -- I do not think most of the things categorised make laws, so that they are not legislatures. Possibly "General assmeblies of religious bodies". Alternatively, we could purge World Zionist Council, and make it "Governing assemblies of Christian denominations". Peterkingiron (talk) 16:27, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Peterkingiron you make a good point, these articles are not in the strictest scene really about legislatures of religious bodies but rather governing assemblies of varying kinds of religious bodies. So I would be happy to go with "Category:Governing assemblies of religious bodies" or even "Category:Governing assemblies of religious organizations" for the new name of the category. But I think "Governing assemblies of Christian denominations" is to narrow a category as it would require we remove both "World Zionist Congress" and "General Assembly (Unitarian Universalist Association)" from this category and this category is rather sparsely populated at the moment. That being said, I do think it has the potential to be widely populated and of great use. --Devin Murphy (talk) 05:34, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename per Jc37, with Jedi94's "television series" emendation.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:09, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All of these subcategories should be parallel in their names to their parent category: Category:The Muppets. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 20:42, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
These are good categories, but they need to be renamed to synchronise with applicable naming conventions. The vast majority of our buildings-by-geography categories use BUILDINGTYPE in PLACENAME; these categories' use of BUILDINGTYPE of PLACENAME. For examples, see Category:Buildings and structures in San Francisco, California, Category:Buildings and structures in Amarillo, Texas, Category:Theatres in the United States, Category:Libraries in the United States, Category:Hotels in the United States, and Category:Buildings and structures in the United States. Nyttend (talk) 15:19, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think "in" is better than "of", because "of" could be applied to a building that is associated with one place but located in another, e.g. "Buildings of Kettering, Ohio" could be applied to a building that I recently visited that has been moved to another city. That being said, this nomination is done for reasons of consistency; if I'd found a few "in" categories among a large number of "of" categories, I'd be nominating the "ins" for renaming to "ofs".

The result of the discussion was: merge.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:13, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. There used to be more reason for this category, but since I have created the sub-cat by city, it is no longer needed. Cf. Category:American culture which does not have an equivalent to this extra layer. – Fayenatic London 14:25, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:03, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We've eliminated most of the "People associated with (location)" categories. Nearly all of these people are from Kraków, so the categories should be merged.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 06:56, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy rename per WP:CFD/S/C#C2D. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:08, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: After the requested move of OpenOffice.org happened to OpenOffice last summer, then we should also move the category and the cat! mabdul 00:26, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
