Delete per WP:BLP1E. Andeka is only relevant as a candidate in an election (in which he received less then 1% of the vote) and other then that is a non-notable an attorney (http://www.lareference.cd/2011/09/the-attorney-jean-marie-andeka.html). Nolelover Talk·Contribs 18:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

(Find sources: "TMCR 95.3"news · books · scholar · free images)

Original author is no longer part of the project, as noted in the Talk page of the main item. Rather than leave old information standing, with no author to maintain the entry, it was felt better to delete the entire thing. TrustAM (talk) 05:37, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep I'm sorry, but our policies are quite clear. Even if an editor (with a conflict of interest as admitted here) leaves their workplace and was the majority editor, others have edited the article besides the original author (a long-departed IP), and under the terms of Creative Commons and the GFDL which makes all contributions property of the Project, this article should remain as station has not left air and is publicly licensed. Others can easily help maintain the article in the future. Nate (chatter) 06:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

The Funny Face Show (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: "The Funny Face Show"news · books · scholar · free images)

This article has no sources, and no indication of notability. It's about a cartoon possibly coming out in 2013. The article itself even explicitly states that it may not be picked up. This directly violates WP:NFF, which, granted is about films and, granted, is only a guideline...but the same idea applies: a piece of media that has not yet been created and whose very creation is in doubt is not notable enough for an article. Once the series is actually produced and aired, it will likely be notable enough for an article, but since that may never happen, it needs to be deleted for now.

Pyro Desktop (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: "Pyro Desktop"news · books · scholar · free images)

This is an old article that's been marked for notability for a long time. Googling for it doesn't reveal very much recent, most of it seems to be an unrelated desktop wallpaper. The original sources don't seem to indicate sufficient notability either. The desktoplinux.com blurb (labeled as eweek) is really just an announcement from the project, and the slashdot post is the same. The only real review is the arstechnica article. It's a fine project, but I'm not sure it meets notability criteria. However I didn't want to prod it without review. Shadowjams (talk) 02:28, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Update - I just noticed there was a previous nomination. However, that was almost a year ago and the result was no consensus, so I don't think there's harm in renomination now. Shadowjams (talk) 02:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I can't find any sources to reference notability. A Google, Google News, and Google Books search doesn't turn up anything. Fails WP:GNG. Albacore (talk) 01:56, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I am the source. I have the award from the Civil Rights Commission sitting in my living room. Also, the picture below the article is a clipping from the local newspaper. It is too old to be found in online records, but clearly shows that the team was a world champion. I have photos of the award if you do not find me credible enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustRealMC (talkcontribs) 04:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment: The article itself inserts a news source clipping right now that shows the group won an international championship. Frankly, this makes the nomination's claim that no sources can be found a bit ridiculous. We need to be looking a little harder, I think, though the lack of online sources will be a difficulty.--Milowenthasspoken 04:28, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit] Category:Old Queens

Propose renaming Category:Old Queens to Category:People educated at Queen's College, London
Nominator's rationale: Rename to avoid a very different primary meaning. The term "old queen" is predominantly used as a derogatory slang for a gay man. (see 491,000 ghits for "old Queen" + gay. The new name follows the established convention for Category:People educated by school in England, which is to use a descriptive category name including the name of the school (in this case Queen's College, London). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:50, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Old St Andrews

Propose renaming Category:Old St Andrews to Category:People educated at St Andrew's School, Pangbourne
Nominator's rationale: Rename to eliminate ambiguity. St. Andrew's School (disambiguation) lists many schools to which "Old St Andrews" may refer, even amongst those who are familiar with the "old fooian" term used by a minority of schools in England.
The proposed new category name adopts plain English, avoids obscure WP:JARGON and fits the convention of Category:People educated by school in England which has been upheld at numerous other CFDs and incorporates the general principle of WP:NCCAT that category names should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article (in this case, the article on St Andrew's School, Pangbourne). BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Old Ilkestonians

Propose renaming Category:Old Ilkestonians to Category:People educated at Ilkeston Academy
Nominator's rationale: Rename to adopt plain English, avoid obscure WP:JARGON and fit the convention of Category:People educated by school in England which has been upheld at numerous other CFDs and incorporates the general principle of WP:NCCAT that category names should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article (in this case, the article on the school).
The "old fooian" terms rarely achieve common usage outside of the narrow circle of the former pupils themselves, and in contrast to the widely-used Old Etonians I see no evidence that this one has become common usage. It is not used in the article on the school.
The category currently claims to refer only to Ilkeston Grammar School, which became "Ilkeston School" in 1977 and is now "Ilkeston Academy" (on which there is neither a separate wikipedia article nor mention in the article on the grammar school). The website of the Ilkeston Academy does not even mention the term "Old Ilkestonian"search), and since the convention is to categorise alumni of all incarnations of a school under its current name, the Academy's name is the one to use. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:33, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Hong Kong expatriates in the People's Republic of China

Category:Hong Kong expatriates in the People's Republic of China - (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Nominator's rationale: Recently created by suspected sock.

This category doesn't make sense unless you take the POV position that Hong Kong is separate from China. Hong Kong is a territory of the People's Republic of China. While the PRC does maintain control over citizens moving to and from SEZ and SARS, it still doesn't amount to be being expatriates to go from one place to another with the same country. Also, not a notable piece of knowledge about the person, over-categorization. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 03:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Old St Edwards

Propose renaming Category:Old St Edwards to Category:People educated at St Edward's School, Oxford
Nominator's rationale: Rename to eliminate ambiguity, adopt plain English, avoid obscure WP:JARGON and fit the convention of Category:People educated by school in England which has been upheld at numerous other CFDs and incorporates the general principle of WP:NCCAT that category names should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article (in this case, the article on St Edward's School, Oxford).
The "old fooian" terms rarely achieve common usage outside of the narrow circle of the former pupils themselves, and in contrast to the widely-used "Old Etonians)I see no evidence that this one has become common usage.
This usage is also highly ambiguous, because even if the reader is aware of the habit of some English schools of adopotinmg this terminology for alumni, they cannot tell which of the many posible schools it refers to: St. Edward's School (disambiguation) lists more than 5 similarly-named schools in England alone, with more outside the UK. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:18, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Female bishops

  • Rename Category:Female bishops to Category:Women bishops
  • Nominators rationale This is basically for all the same reasons with lawyers. There is even less of a chance that a bishop will be under 18 than a lawyer. Yes, there are historical precedents of under-18 bishops but they are all from times in the orgainizations in question when those organizations did not ordain women to the priesthood at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Female lawyers

[edit] Category:Auckland Councillors

[edit] Category:Territorial Authorities of New Zealand

Propose renaming Category:Territorial Authorities of New Zealand to Category:Territorial authorities of New Zealand
Nominator's rationale: caps. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 02:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Old Buxtonians

Propose renaming Category:Old Buxtonians to Category:People educated at Buxton College
Nominator's rationale: Rename to adopt plain English, avoid obscure WP:JARGON and fit the convention of Category:People educated by school in England. This incorporates the general principle of WP:NCCAT that category names should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article (in this case, the article on the school).
In this case I can find no evidence that the term "Old Buxtonian" any currency outside of the circle of those who attended the school; and no evidence that it was even used by those who attended the school. (The head article Buxton College doesn't even mention the term). On the contrary, the term "Buxtonian" seems to be predominantly used as a general one for people from the village of Buxton, Guyana (and not Buxton in Derbyshire England). A "Old+Buxtonian" Google search for "Old Buxtonian" throws up 79 results, of which the vast majority are of the form "22-year-old Buxtonian". In fact, I can find not one search result which confirms any use of the term within school-related circles (the three possible results [1], [2], [3] offer no clue of the user's intent) ... and the closest I can find is a ref in Google Books to the school magazine having been called The Buxtonian. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Merchant Taylor's schools

Propose renaming

Nominator's rationale: Rename both to adopt plain English, avoid WP:JARGON and fit the convention of Category:People educated by school in England. This incorporates the general principle of WP:NCCAT that category names should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article (in this case, the article on the school).
Aside from the general failings of "old fooian" category names (see below), these two pose particular problems of ambiguity. The Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors is a London Livery Company associated with a wide range of almhouses and charities, so the "Old Merchant Taylors" (OMT) label could reasonably be assumed to refer to people associated with the company itself or any of its many activities. In fact, OMT is used to refer only to one of the 7 schools with which the Company is associated, even though three of the schools bear the Company's name (see Merchant Taylors' School (disambiguation)). The resulting ambiguity creates confusion for the reader and also for editors who add articles to the category.
"Old Crosbeians" is also ambiguous, because there are at least 9 secondary schools in Crosby, including the Merchant Taylors' School, Crosby and Merchant Taylors' Girls' School. The application of the term "Old Crosbeian" to only one of the MT schools in Crosby two risks further confusion for editors and readers.
The Old Fooians format for former pupils is used by a significant minority of schools in England, but the relationship between the school name and Old Fooian term is frequently obscure even to those who understand the format, and those from outside England are unlikely to even know of the format (Wikipedia is written for an international audience, not an English one). The terms have reached common usage in the case of only a small minority of particularly high-profile public schools, such as Old Etonians for Eton College, and I can find no evidence that these terms have anything remotely approaching such widespread usage. If an Old Fooian term is used in article, its usage can be explained, but a category name appears on an article without explanation; that's why descriptive formats are preferred in category names, and abbreviations deprecated. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:55, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Support These terms have the added problem besides being obscure jargon that if you are not supper familiar you might accidently use the Merchant taylors term for people who gradauted from the wrong school.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:58, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Removing the pasta template & replacing it with a noodle template for all the pasta products & subjects is not helpful. FieldMarine (talk) 05:11, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

The old template Template:Pasta is specific to Italian pasta. The new Template:Noodle includes the old Pastat template info and adds other countries. jmcw (talk) 05:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I do not believe that this template, which I created, is necessary any longer. It's rarely used and incomplete, and too large as it is in this style. dci | TALK 03:58, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
