May 14

[edit]

Category:Constantinopolitans

[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 - as pointed out, there isn't a need to add a disambiguator. If there's a strong sense that there is, then no prejudice against an immediate renomination for that, but there is clear consensus that Constantinopolitans should get the works. The Bushranger One ping only 20:09, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The category is for people from "Constantinople (modern Istanbul) during the Byzantine Empire (330–1453)". I don't see any reason we should not use the standard "People from FOO" format for this category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:14, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[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 to "members" per the list article. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:45, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. It is functioning as a category for members of the organization. If renamed, the parent categories would require adjusting. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:37, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Academy of Athens

[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. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:41, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. An opposed speedy. The article about the organization is Academy of Athens (modern), and the nomination is to match the category name to it. Academy of Athens (a disambiguation page) is regarded as ambiguous. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:01, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
copy of speedy nomination
Oppose The current name is just fine and does not need to be disambiguated. The article is thus named to leave way for a dab page to avoid confusion with the Platonic Academy, however this is not necessary in the category namespace as "Platonic" or "Plato's" would probably be selected would a category for the ancient academy be created (see also commons:Category:Platonic Academy). "Academy of Athens" as a category name is therefore imho not ambiguous. Place Clichy (talk) 13:22, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: keep. The Bushranger One ping only 20:11, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. An opposed speedy. The relevant article is at 2011 Japanese nuclear accidents, the rename was to propose that the category name match it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:58, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge/delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:43, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. The books merger was suggested in an inconclusive discussion on May 4, in which "Christian studies" was described as a neologism. The head category "Christian studies" contains only two other articles which are already suitably categorised elsewhere. – Fayenatic London (talk) 08:30, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. There are no other intersections of subject and nationality for books. – Fayenatic London (talk) 08:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Los Angeles, California television anchors. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:34, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To be consistent with all the other subcategories in Category:American television anchors by city. The names of all these other subcategories use [CITY] television anchors. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:28, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:44, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We don't have a scheme for categorization of shareholders of companies, and for good reason!—categorizing organizations or people for holding shares in a particular company would lead to enormous category clutter. Companies can have thousands–even millions—of shareholders. This is overcategorization in a major way. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:23, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:High

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:44, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete Category of dubious value using a highly dubious title. A "high" is not a scientific term: the cocaine/heroin/cannabis highs are the symptoms of cocaine/heroin/cannabis intoxication and are, contrary to the statement in the current hatnote, the exact analog of drunkenness.
