Category:Youth hostels

[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 (no consensus to delete, but it looks like it has been appropriately "purged"). Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:28, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Individual hostels are now listed under Category:Hostels (previously this category and Category:Youth hostels overlapped with no clear rationale or distinction). This category now contains only youth hostels in England and Wales (a category which corresponds to the remit of the Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales)). David Edgar (talk) 23:51, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete What actually make a youth hostel notable? Well, apparently nothing that's about being a hostel. By my rough survey half of the membership are listed buildings currently used all or in part for a hostel, and the other half are towns which happen to have a youth hostel among their amenities. I'm sorry, but I don't see how this adds up to a category of hostels; with the one odd Canadian example excepted, there aren't articles on buildings because they are hostels (which I think is quite reasonable), and there's certainly no reason to list towns as if they were hostels. Seyasirt (talk) 01:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I've now removed some articles about villages etc from this category - Greenhead, Kettlewell, Kielder, Mankinholes, Once Brewed, Thurlby. DexDor (talk) 05:46, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Even if an article mentions a youth hostel doesn't mean it should be in a category such as this one. For example, Pen-y-Pass (which I've just removed from this category) is about a mountain pass; things that are (or have been in the past) at that place include hotel, youth hostel, cafe, car park, bus stop etc - the article doesn't belong in categories for those things. If we had any articles actually about individual youth hostels (e.g. Pen-y-Pass Youth Hostel) then they would belong in a category such as this. DexDor (talk) 06:00, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Slovenian pentathletes

[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: delete. As the category is meanwhile empty there is nothing to merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:52, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Slovenia declared its independence in 1991. The women's pentathlon ceased to be an international standard event in 1981. This anachronistic category isn't one that warrants creation and its sole child subject hadn't competed in a pentathlon for almost 30 years by the time of the nation's creation.

[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:31, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The usual Wiki category for natural features in Foo is "Geography of Foo". "Natural sites in Foo" is only used in 2 instances (see below). Bermicourt (talk) 19:13, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete, because there is nothing to merge. MER-C 02:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As above. In this case, there is already a suitable category. Bermicourt (talk) 19:13, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Organizations based in Mongolia

[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 / merge as nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match parent Category:Organizations based in Mongolia. This nomination was rejected on the Speedy page as ineligible for speedy processing, see below. – Fayenatic London 17:00, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: I already implemented the merger for Ulaanbaatar, as the S spelling is a newly created duplicate; there was already a longstanding category, spelled with Z; finding the latter empty, I renamed it from Ulan Bator to Ulaanbaatar as housekeeping after speedy renaming of Category:Ulaanbaatar. – Fayenatic London 18:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century Armenian male actores

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: speedy renamed by User:Lugnuts as a straight spelling error which didn't actually require debate. The misspelled version can be deleted as an implausible redirect since it's a spelling error that's unlikely to be repeated by too many users. Bearcat (talk) 18:45, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Obvious misspelling Icarusgeek (talk) 09:09, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge to Category:People from Assam. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:41, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The articles have to be moved to Category:People from Assam and this one deleted. This category tree is for ethnic groups, not for individuals which this particular category is filled with. —SpacemanSpiff 08:39, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Most individuals here aren't really "ancient" either - 16th or 17th century. Johnbod (talk) 16:03, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:31, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete, as overly subjective. "Common household brands" may well vary from one culture to another. Also, touting a product line as a 'household brand' is POV and promotional. – Gilliam (talk) 05:07, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Energy art

[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: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:32, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. The definition of the category is unknown. The selection criteria for this category are unknown. This term is not commonly used in the literature. A search of Google Books and Google Scholar provided no hits that connect "Energy Art" with two of the members of this category (Burning Man or Survival Research Laboratories). A search of the web shows that "Energy Art" seems to be used with visualizing energy, which is very different from Burning Man or Survival Research Laboratories. The "Energy Art" page was deleted in 2012. Full Disclosure: I've been to Burning Man, but not since 2012. I've worked with Survival Research Laboratories. Original research: I've never heard Mark Pauline or anyone associated with Survival Research Laboratories use the term "Energy art". Cxbrx (talk) 04:45, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea - fine with that Johnbod (talk) 03:46, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
