Small plane crash that doesn't meet WP:AIRCRASH guidelines for such. William 15:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom.. All of the references are from one source. Yutsi Talk/ Contributions 16:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep
i) the guidelines state that if rules are changed, then it is notable and the 2000 Australia Beechcraft King Air crash#Aftermath section lists a few changes. The last line of the intro says "A number of safety recommendations were made following the accident."
ii) The WP:AIRCRASH guidelines differentiate notability based on a distinction between light and heavy aircraft and they define this as "maximum gross weight under 12,500 lb (5,670 kg))". The Beechcraft Super King Air article indicates that the "Max. takeoff weight: 12,500 lb (5,670 kg)" and some variations have higher MTOW, so you could argue that it isn't a light aircraft, and the 7 fatalities automatically make it notable. Eitherway, it is borderline, and the WP:AIRCRASH guidelines should better define and link to exactly what they mean by "maximum gross weight"
iii) Yutsi, there are already references from multiple sources, and plenty more would exist in offline sources, but Australian newspapers are not very well archived online from that time (there is a blackhole in Australian googlenews coverage from about 1980-90 to about 2000-5).

As I recall adding the notability and a reliable third party reference tags a year ago, which then got removed as an editor compared its notability to the other clubs including the Oxford University Boat Club, which is in no doubt famous. He also insinuated that because this club is part of the University of Oxford, it should be notable and added references that is not good enough to save this article.

I am nominating this as I cannot find any forms of notability in this article as well any reliable third party coverages anywhere enough to save this article. Donnie Park (talk) 13:45, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The only two actual proofs are completely routine calculus exercises. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics/Proofs#Proofs_as_topics, "It is widely accepted, however, that if a proof is made a topic of its own dedicated Wikipedia article, the proof must be significant as a proof, not merely 'routine'." These proofs could easily be summarized in the main article with a short remark if necessary. The majority of the article though is a lengthy piece of Haskell code for computing the asymptotic series of eϕ(x). Not only are we not a code repository, but this seems very likely to be pure original research. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:16, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete: There is no encyclopedic content here. In general, some proofs are appropriate for WP, but WP is not a textbook or collection of monographs so mathematical completeness is not necessary. Proofs that are easily filled in by the reader are not consistent with the aims on an encyclopedia and should be removed.

A one-sentence POV ("the attempt, mainly by political forces in the Baltic states", as if there was agreement that such a phenomenon existed) stub on a new term with only one reference, a video on Facebook (hardly considered an RS) with its creator speaking. This could be mentioned in the biography of the term's creator, it doesn't appear to be notable as a stand-alone article. (was requested speedily deleted by Osarius). Tataral (talk) 09:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. Neologism. As the article states, it is a term recently coined by Dovid Katz of what is essentially his particular POV, and all references to the term seem to be related to works authored by Dovid Katz himself. --Nug (talk) 10:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom and Nug. North8000 (talk) 13:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete the term is coined by Katz in an article titled "On Three Definitions: Genocide; Holocaust Denial; Holocaust Obfuscation". The phrase is not covered by secondary sources, so it fails notability guideline. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 16:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment (ec) Well, our short article may be a POV of Dovid Katz, but we should note that his definition and further circumstances of the Holocaust reception in the modern Lithuanian society (etc) were noted by many independent and important media:
  • I consider the information very important and relevant for the history of the Holocaust and also for an encyclopedic project. Is there any article covering the Lithuanian investigations of Holocaust survivors? It could be a good target for a possible merger. And if the article doesn't exist, we can create a relevant section in the article Dovid Katz. But I would disagree with the deletion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep – ...but possibly rename. The main topic here is the Double Genocide debate. (A Google search for "Double Genocide" -Rwanda returns "About 21,400 results.") Any terminology introduced in this debate is out of necessity a neologism, as the debate was only started in 2008 with the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism. At the moment Wikipedia has tons of articles presenting one POV in this debate, the icing on the cake is the template "Prague Process" which in itself is an attempt to win the argument by presenting the debate in a POV context with a POV title.
Although the phrase "Holocaust obfuscation" is mostly used by Dovid Katz the concept exists by other names, including "Double genocide" and "Red equals Brown." Others using these terms include Efraim Zuroff. The most notable "anti-Prague" declaration is the Seventy Years Declaration.
I have told User:Hypatea (the creator of the stub) and User:Spitfire3000 to get their act together and present the anti-Prague POV somewhere. This may not have been the best title to start with, but as it stand, this is what we have. I created a redirect from Holocaust obfuscation (no capitals) a half a year ago. It is high time it redirects to somewhere. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:36, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
P.S. – The strongest argument for keep under the present title is the huge number of high quality sources repeating or presenting Katz's opinion. The fact that Katz said "obfuscation" is notable in itself! -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

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

This terminology is made up. There are no coaster magazines, books, or organizations that refer to a hybrid roller coaster as defined on this page. That is why this article has no citations. Recently, Six Flags started to use this term for the New Texas Giant, but it is a term they made up. A coaster is either wooden or steel, depending on the track. The underlying support structure is irrelevant. If you want to keep this article, then find a reliable source. JlACEer (talk) 22:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Well if you take a look at RCDB, Gemini, http://www.rcdb.com/14.htm, for example lists it as Hybrid so i feel this article needs to stay. --Astros4477 (talk) 23:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Comment: the majority of the RCDB pages are categorised as hybrid because that is exactly what they are - a combination of steel track and wooden structure (or vice versa). You will notice that the type of roller coaster for Gemini is listed as steel. Themeparkgc  Talk  09:12, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Merge then delete: I feel that the information in this article could be merged into the respective steel and wooden roller coaster articles. Roller coasters like Gemini and Texas Giant are listed as steel according to RCDB and they should be classified as such here on Wikipedia. As the nominator stated, there is no reference to coasters that are purely known as "hybrid roller coasters" and it seems that it is a term that was first coined here on Wikipedia. Themeparkgc  Talk  09:12, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • If you look at the "notable hybrid coasters" that are listed you will see Voyage, Hades, Ravine Flyer II; these are all products of The Gravity Group. Go to http://www.thegravitygroup.com/ and you will see that these are listed as wooden coasters according to the designers. You won't find the term "Hybrid Wooden Coaster" on any manufacturer's website. When most people talk of hybrids, they are usually referring to a combination of ride types, like a coaster-flume hybrid, or coaster-dark ride hybrid.JlACEer (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • The entire second paragraph is incorrect. The main advantage to using steel structured on a wooden coaster is the reduced footprint. The bents can be narrower with fewer angled supports, and therefore fewer footings are needed. A wood track steel-structured coaster still needs to be walked every day so the statement "lower maintenance in terms of daily labor hours and the need for fewer routine replacement parts" is false. Pressure-treated wooden bents can last 50-60 years, there's no need for frequent replacement. Whether it's steel-structured or wood-structured, the track bed is going to need the same amount of maintenance.JlACEer (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Warning: I'm doing something I don't usually approve of. I am renominating this article, days after the nominator withdrew it. I have looked and looked, and despite a promise signaled in the first AfD, I cannot find anything that's even remotely reliable. GBooks produces a few Wiki-based publications and a self-authored book by someone who supposedly endorses them--but nothing meaningful or reliable that would establish notability. The article was an advertisement; not so anymore. Even guitarplayer.com, not the most discerning of sites, offers nothing.

Non-notable hotel complex. Makes as far as I can tell no attempt to show why this particular building (under construction no less!) is of encyclopedic notability. Notability is not inherited, so partnership with celebrities does not help this topic's notability.

Add to that copyright and advertising problems: Phrases used in this article can be found all over the web, e.g. 1 2. It's in my opinion likely that the marketing of that hotel complex has had an active hand in creating that wording.

Well, notability does not expire, but internet links do, apparently. All but one of the links are dead, and GNews produces nothing. GBooks has one or two mentions, but nothing to write home about. The one live link is this one, which proves that these women apparently sang this song. Is that enough? In my opinion it isn't. Drmies (talk) 04:17, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete I'm gonna give the Wikipedia community the benefit of the doubt and hope that keeping this in 2007 was the starry-eyed optimistic hope that this random youtube video would somehow lead to a music career for those involved. Half a decade later though it's obvious that that didn't happen and frankly isn't going to. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep Not sure why GNews produces nothing for you: I get about 30 hits[1] including a May 26, 2008 paywalled Miami Herald article for which the GNews excerpt includes the phrase, "made "chongalicious" a household word", multiple articles in the Miami media, and a February 29, 2009 use in the Village Voice that's not substantial coverage but does suggest that the term spread past Miami. (In any event, it looks like this article should be added to Category:Culture of Miami, Florida.) If we had an article about the broader topic of the chonga I could see an possible argument to merge this there, but since we don't, I don't see any compelling reason to overturn the result of the first AfD. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Add note: GScholar turned up a 2009 scholarly piece in the National Women's Studies Association Journal (now called Feminist Formations) entitled "'Miss, you look like a Bratz Doll': on chonga girls and sexual-aesthetic excess" that discusses "Chongalicious" along with several other works.

Jetix was renamed to Disney Channel on August 2010, and apparently they did released a new channel at the beginning of this month in place of channel "Seven" [4].

Seaches show that her multi-award winning film has received the neccessary commentary and review. Guideline does not demand that a significant work must have the coverage of Star Wars or Harry Potter in order for WP:Creative to be met. And as her work has received the coverage to be determined as notable, she is herself per guideline verifiable as notable. And searches show both her award and her film's coverage as verifiable away from IMDB.

The list of awards is long, but contains trivial things (being an external reviewer is nothing out of the ordinary), minor awards (a small travel grant to go to Heidelberg...), and nominations (but apparently not won). --Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:03, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I found a newsletter from Brunel that mentioned him as the chair of their department. I guess they don't keep historic chairs on their website. I just googled burnel.co.uk and david lavery, fyi - it was on the first page... PermanentVacay (talk) 09:22, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Then you should use that as a source, not his CV, which should not be used as a reference at all. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:56, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment Whether a scholar has published a few or a lot of papers/books has absolutely no bearing on notability. What is important is whether those writings have had any impact, which we generally measure here by numbers of citations. As I have no time to look into this in detail right now, I'm abstaining from !voting, but I would like to note that the article currently has no evidence whatsoever of notability. All references are to works of Lavery, except reference 3, which is inappropriate (has nothing to do with Lavery) and reference 4, which is actually the only reference showing somebody has actually read his works. If it is to show notability, the article needs a lot of work. I just used Reflinks to format the references, but would like to note that links to GBooks are not really ideal. Oh, and yes, PermanentVacay, it would have been good form that you as article creator be notified of this AfD. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the information. Unfortunately this AfD is almost half over and I only just found out about it, and I don't know if I'll have time to add anything to the article by then. Hopefully someone more familiar with him than me will do so (I like to create articles for people that I'm doing research on who don't yet have them - this means I don't necessarily yet know all that much). PermanentVacay (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the link to the CV, very helpful. Going through the criteria:
The criterion on awards (number 2) requires a national award or higher and that it should be "highly prestigious". Most of the awards are institutional rather than national or better, and some of them are publishing rather than academic awards. That leaves things like "Mr. Pointy Award for Buffy Studies Scholarship" which I doubt we could call a highly prestigious academic award.
Nothing in the CV for criteria 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8. (Chairing a dept is not enough for 6. 8 requires head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal: he has 3 where he is an editor of a journal rather than an issue, but 2 are very recent so not "well-established". That leaves Critical Studies in Television, where he is one of six editors (not head or chief). So I do not think so.)
Criterion 1 needs an analysis of citations.
Criterion 7 might work - how widely popular are his general audience books? His CV cites interviews - is he frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert? There are quite a few google news hits that are interviewing him.Babakathy (talk) 09:05, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, criterion 7 seems like a good easy way to show notability. I'm not sure how to incorporate that into the article though. PermanentVacay (talk) 09:23, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I suggest you do some work on Google News to provide (many) references to a statement such as his work in television studies has led to him being widely recognised as an expert on genres such as XX YY ZZ. I think you'd be able to pick up quite alot. Babakathy (talk) 09:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep (changed my mind): I believe this academic meets sub-criterio 7. Babakathy (talk) 09:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep - I'm satisfied that WP:ACADEMIC/7 is met. The nomination is too vague for me to judge if the nominator's concerns have been resolved but the article has certainly been improved. ŞůṜīΣϹ98¹Speak 05:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Unsourced non notable martial arts related dictionary definition, which does not justify a self-standing article, as per WP:NOTDIC Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Week keep:Fairly broad coverage on web, not sure how reliable? Babakathy (talk) 09:05, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions. Intonjutsu
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. Intonjutsu
  • Among valid references all I can find is this dictionary type definition "Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)". This is a term which may be used in an article about martial arts terms but as far as I can see there is nothing to justify developing a stand alone article out of it let alone enough material.

Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 10:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete I agree with Samuraiantiqueworld - there are plenty of hits, but I've yet to see anything that's more than a passing mention (and most of those are on some seriously dubious "modern ninja" websites that would fail WP:RS quicker than you can say, "learn the mystical arts of the Ninja!"...). Yunshui  14:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Ninja. My searches in Japanese were inconclusive - I found a few mentions of the word, but no concrete connections with ninjutsu. However, the majority of Japanese books on Google Books are set to "no preview", so this by itself doesn't prove much. The term is not in the Daijirin Japanese monolingual dictionary (very large and comprehensive), although I found it in WWWJDIC (includes some vetted, user-contributed definitions). I did find a couple of English sources that mention it in passing, but none that goes into to any detail. If there is an article in here it would probably require some Japanese-language library research, and until someone puts in that effort I would consider this topic of questionable notability. There are enough results on the web that people could search for it though, so redirecting to a relevant article would probably be best. The most appropriate one that I found was Ninja. — Mr. Stradivarius 09:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Lesser Known British Comic Strips

Lesser Known British Comic Strips (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: "Lesser Known British Comic Strips"news · books · scholar · free images)

This article appears to embody the very antithesis of WP's notability requirements in that it actively seeks to list comic strips that are lesser known. This is besides the fact that it is a list and should be named as such. Rubiscous (talk) 01:21, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

An encyclopedia should be a collection of fact without the qualification of how important they are. The strip cartoons in this entry, although relatively lesser known today, were highly popular in their time and individually lasted for decades. Rather than have a group of stubs it is, in my opinion, better to collect them in a single article. The importance factor will be different for different individuals. How can any person or group take the right for deletion of an item that was highly accepted in its time. This becomes sencorship. The entry could, however, be combined with another relavant entry, but never deleted!

DonJay (talk) 02:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • The point is that "lesser known" is highly subjective. What constitutes "lesser known"? There's no way you can objectively define that term, putting it in direct violation of WP:NPOV. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 05:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. If the cartoons in this list were highly popular and notable in their time, then considering that notability is not temporary it is inappropriate to describe them collectively as 'lesser known'. The notability in its own right of each individual strip in the list is not in dispute right here and now, just whether the article should exist as a whole. You are correct about things being different for different individuals - the degree of how 'known' a comic strip was is completely arbitrary. Unless a notable list of 'lesser known british comic strips' exists off-project in a reliable source, or we have reliable sources for each individual strip describing each one as 'lesser known' then putting together a list in this manner is original research. To cut down on stubs by collecting together a list is fine, the above suggestion by Darkness Shines of List of British comic strips, or by publication for example List of Daily Mail comic strips would be more acceptable alternatives because the criteria for inclusion in such lists would not be subjective. Note that such lists would have to include all the more notable strips that fit the criteria which have their own articles, and that these strips should be given appropriate prominence, thus the current article would make a poor starting point compared with simply starting another list from scratch. Rubiscous (talk) 05:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

The proposal is for deletion, not modification. Consequently it should be rejected. The original entry was not a true list, but rather a collection of stubs, which it was hoped could be enlarged. A better title might have been "British Strip Cartoons of the Early 20th Century". It was my hope that, when each item had been enlarged, that a separate entry could be made, By collecting the stubs together it would be more obvious that additions to them was needed. There has been several edits of this nature. My objection has not been because of change, but rather of deletion due to the use of "Lesser Known" in the title. DonJay (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete "Lesser known" anything is problematic. If something is both notable and verifiable enough for a general-interest encyclopedia, in would generally not be "lesser-known" by definition. Looking at the article, I'd say neither of the first two entries are "lesser known": the first ran for 23 years and the second (apparently) almost 30. A better approach to the same material might be a (non-list) article on 20th century British newspaper comics or similar, but since fixing it would require a total rewrite up to and including the title, my vote is to delete.

Final query: one WP:RS isn't enough? WP:NALBUMS states that it needs "significant coverage" in "reliable sources" and WP:GNG "a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". So is the issue two sources? Will that engender a fourth deletion nomination because "two reliable sources are not enough".

  • Delete definitely a notable band, but as far as I can tell this is more or less a demo tape--the article goes out of its way to tell us it was recorded in a basement and isn't considered their actual debut.

  • Keep - While I sympathize with the nominator's take on this, with two dozen editors making five or more edits to the page and nearly 100 footnotes showing, the deletion cow has already left the barn. It's best to roll one's eyes and move along, I think... This list has established criteria, is logically constructed, is properly footnoted for the most part, and provides not only an in-link function but also serves as a good merge target for future "Blackout News" stories that spring up.

Propose merging Category:1949 Atlantic hurricane season to Category:Category:1940–1949 Atlantic hurricane seasons
Nominator's rationale: These categories contain one summary article per season plus, on average, an article a season on specific storms. A few years also contain a category on a major storm. As with earlier years, it seems to me to make as much sense to group these by decade given that most yearly categories will contain only one or two articles; I made a separate group for these, however, as some people might feel these are populated enough to be broken out. Storm naming started in 1950, and from then on every year has at least five to ten articles; therefore this will be the last consolidation nomination made.

[edit] Category:Old Birkdalians

Propose renaming Category:Old Birkdalians to Category:People educated at Birkdale School
Nominator's rationale: Per the recent CfDs that renamed "Old Fooian" categories to the more logical, clearer, and now-preferred "People educated at Foo" format, this one is proposed for renaming to the last mentioned format for the same reasons the others were renamed: clear, concise, understandable by all. The Bushranger One ping only 07:24, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Rename to a format that can be understood and aids navigation per these CFDs. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • RenameBirkdale School (in Sheffield) is a relatively recent public school and the term "Old Birkdalian" has not gained any great recognition, even in Sheffield. Oculi (talk) 13:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: These categories contain one summary article per season plus a couple of articles per decade on specific storms. Given the low population it makes sense to group these by decade, especially since season articles vastly outnumber storm articles.

Propose merging Category:1854 Atlantic hurricane season to Category:1850–1859 Atlantic hurricane seasons

Nominator's rationale: Members of these categories already belong to the parent and there is no more than one page per subcategory. The four pages involved constitute 4/5ths of membership, so there's no call for subcategories.

[edit] Category:Cold War nuclear bunkers

Propose merging Category:Cold War nuclear bunkers to Category:Nuclear bunkers
Nominator's rationale: Merge. A single entry TfT creation. While we can argue if there are more possible entries, are any of the candidate article about bunkers or facilities that have a bunker? Vegaswikian (talk) 03:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete The only member shouldn't be characterized as a bunker to begin with: it's a former Nike missile site of which a few foundations remain (at least judging from the Goggle map view), and the article should probably be deleted anyway given that it is just a long-winded version of data that ought to be in List of Nike missile locations. The only "bunker" was the underground control room, but it wasn't built primarily for that purpose. Mangoe (talk) 04:20, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Works about politicians by politician

Propose merging Category:Works about politicians by politician to Category:Works about politicians
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge I believe this is another unnecessary "works about y by y" category by User:Stefanomione, similar to discussion now underway at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_January_30#Category:Works_about_writers_by_writer. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Animation-related websites

Propose renaming and purging Category:Animation-related websites to Category:Websites about animation
Nominator's rationale: Per this discussion, I'm nominating this by itself. Consensus seemed to favor "Websites about animation" rather than "Animation websites," and while the majority of website categories are "(X) websites," the lack of clarity suggests renaming to the clearer form.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 03:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:India national cricket team selectors

Propose merging Category:India national cricket team selectors to Category:Indian national cricket selectors
Nominator's rationale: Merge It's clear that the two categories have the same intended scope. Either name would be fine but the main article is Indian national cricket selectors and for what it's worth Google seems to indicate that "Indian national cricket selectors" is a more common phrase than "India national cricket team selectors". Pichpich (talk) 13:05, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete Category:Indian national cricket selectors. The correct title is India national cricket team selectors (and the article ought to be moved here). These are selectors for India national cricket team and this follows the standard naming structure for all national team selectors. See the other cats at Category:Cricket selectors, the structure was arrived at after discussion at WT:CRIC, I can't seem to find the link now, but I'll post there to see if someone else can find it. Also, the newly created cat is wrong on a couple of fronts "Indian" (at least as far as sports team naming for WP purposes) does not define the "team" (everything is "India national", "Australia national", "West Indies.." -- no national here of course) and there's nothing to merge as it's a subset. —SpacemanSpiff 05:52, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Agree with above India is the correct term, not Indian. They are India Test cricketers, not Indian. Lugnuts (talk) 08:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Reverse merge as I said above, I feel both names are viable and if people prefer Category:India national cricket team selectors then let's go for that. Pichpich (talk) 21:01, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Relisting comment: There is a consensus for 'reverse merge', but Category:Indian national cricket selectors was not tagged; it is now tagged. Also, what are we to make of the title of the article Indian national cricket selectors – should it be renamed?

[edit] Category:Cosmic background

Category:Cosmic background - (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete There's no such thing as a "cosmic background" and in fact cosmic background is a disambiguation page. The articles of the category are only loosely associated through the use of the term "background". Pichpich (talk) 02:56, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Events

Propose renaming Category:Events or doing something else
Nominator's rationale: Not sure if this is a rename or a delete or what. Clearly it needs a discussion. Event is a wide ranging dab page leaving the intended purpose of this category totally ambiguous. While the simple answer is to delete this mess and the entire tree, that may not be the best approach. I suspect that splitting this out into unambiguous subcategories would be the best and maybe leaving this category with a hat note in addition to a parent category template. Clearly one subcategory would be Category:Sporting events should be one of these new categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:51, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:British civil servants to Ceylon

Propose renaming Category:British civil servants to Ceylon to Category:Administrators in British Ceylon
Nominator's rationale: Per parent category Category:People of British Ceylon, and similar categ Category:Administrators in British India. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:19, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Rename -- Category:British civil servants in Ceylon. I am not clear why the Indian category is administrators, rahter than civil servant. It may be so as to include pre-1857 officers of HEIC, who were servants of the company, bit civil servants of the crown; or perhpas so as to include residents who were notionally ambassadors to princely states but often in fact ran them. However the preposition should be "in" not "to". These were people engaged in ruling, not in the nature of ambassadors. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:55, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
    Question Are you sure that it it is technically correct to refer to such colonial officers as "civil servants"? It seems to me to be better to use the broader term. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. "Civil servant" may be an anachronism here, I'm not sure. Better not to use it if we can avoid it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:47, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Rename: more appropriate.--Blackknight12 (talk) 03:21, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Newspaper people by newspaper

  • Merge Category:Newspaper people by newspaper to Category:Journalists by publication.
  • Nominator's rationale. The vast majority of people who are notable for their connections with newspapers are journalists. I am really not convinced we need these two independent trees. I would be fine with merging all the newspaper types into the one category, and moving the TV types elsewhere (especially since I am not sure 60 Minutes is a "publication").John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:50, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Comments – looking at say Category:Journalists by publication in the United States, these 2 trees do seem hopelessly intertwined. There will be the occasional non-journalist such as Rupert Murdoch ... rather a mess in fact. Oculi (talk) 11:57, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment I think at some point the thought was that we would have seperate categories for journalists, editors, ad execs (Thomas S. Monson was primarily that when he wasemployed by the Deseret News), publishers, owners and whatever other types of newspaper people you can think of. The problem is that newspaper editors generally fit some definition of "journalist", many publishers fit at least some definitions of journalist, if owners and publishers do not fit definitions of journalist they will often not be truly notable for their connection to that newspaper, and how many newspaper ad execs are notable enough to have articles period? I have named one, but one person does not make it a worthwhile thing. I think I know what is going on here. One possibility is that we would take all the "Newspaper people by x newspaper", such as Category:Deseret News people, Category:New York Times people, Category:The Times of London people, Category:Los Angeles Times people, Category:Detroit News people and whatever else, and make subcategories of each for journalists. I would support this plan.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox AFL player

Template:Infobox AFL player (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Preceded by {{Infobox AFL player 2}}. It's now orphaned. I think it's time to delete it to make space to move {{Infobox AFL player 2}} to {{Infobox AFL player}}. This is one step forward in merging these two infoboxes with {{Infobox AFL biography}}. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC) Magioladitis (talk) 16:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Template:ARK Music Factory (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

WP:NENAN; article contains only four links (apart from the link to the main ARK Music Factory article), which point to articles already sufficiently interlinked in their leads. 87.205.136.111 (talk) 06:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Template:WTFPL

Template:WTFPL (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|delete)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

This license is only used with one recent upload. It's a silly little stunt. Functionally, it's a PD-self claim. Sven Manguard Wha? 04:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  • As I said in the previous TfD, the problem is that we're on somewhat shaky ground simply deleting the template and assuming that the file thus licensed (File:HILIC Partition Method Graphic.png) is under a different one. I agree that ideally this should be orphaned and deprecated to prevent further idiotic license proliferation, but it's not clear we can do that right now. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Subst and delete; or perhaps better still delete and delete the image using it. But has anyone asked the uploader to use a more sensible licence? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Unused template redirects

Various templates without a hyphen before bio were moved to -bio in May 2006, but because there was not a listing of such templates at the discussion they fell through the gaps when all template redirects were included at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Template redirects#Stub templates. I've done some searching for them, added some, and found some redirects were not used. I propose the deletion of these unused template redirects:
