* Keep: Prior to just recently,when I started this project, no one in the history of Wikipedia, has ever taken the time to list or document the songs written by the individual members of The Miracles,and it was ONLY RECENTLY, after I started it, that someone began to list the songs under their individual names. Since, of all of The Miracles, only Smokey Robinson's name is well known by the public,the result of this is that up until now,according to public perception,only Robinson alone wrote the songs, and has received sole credit for all of the songs written by the Miracles as a GROUP, which is unfair , since many of the songs were GROUP compositions.(I.E. the Miracles' 1965 Grammy Hall of Fame Inductee, [[The Tracks of My Tears]] was written by Miracles members [[Smokey Robinson]], [[Pete Moore]], and [[Marv Tarplin]], not just Robinson alone).The reality is , I created this category to ensure that ALL of the songs written by EVERY member of The Miracles were listed together in one comprehensive category, to make sure that the entire group received credit for their songs, not just one member, and 2) to make it easier for the researcher to find a comprehensive list of ALL of their compositions in ONE PLACE, thereby making it unnecessary to have to look under all of their individual names to find their many composed songs, some of which, the researcher may not know.

::*'''Comment''', as you mentioned Tracks of My Tears, and only Smokey & 2 others of the Miracles co-wrote the song, it really shouldn't be listed under this category anyway because not all the The Miracles members wrote the song! Also, there are songs which these guys wrote for other artists and that mixes up the day job with the night job. As Occuli says below, this category would be much better suited as a list. --[[User:Richhoncho|Richhoncho]] ([[User talk:Richhoncho|talk]]) 10:56, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
* '''Delete''' - this is the sort of useful info that would be much better in a detailed list, which could be included in [[:Category:Songs written by Smokey Robinson]] etc. [[User:Occuli|Occuli]] ([[User talk:Occuli|talk]]) 12:30, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

April 24

Category:Lists of memorials

Propose renaming Category:Lists of memorials to Category:Lists of monuments and memorials
Nominator's rationale: I have recently created this category with to narrow a focus. It sould be renamed to match the parent category so it can be include both monument and memorial lists. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:42, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century people by nationality

Category:20th-century people by nationality - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I'm bringing this one back here after the close of this discussion which removed most of the articles from this category and the children categories. Now that the cleanup is done and we can see the results, do we want to keep this parent category, and by inference, the one for the 21st century? The discussion was unclear in my mind about the utility of the these two parents. So this nomination is more to reaffirm my close as a keep for the top level categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:11, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:9/11-related legal issues to Category:Legal issues related to the September 11 attacks
Nominator's rationale: Per main article of this category (which I moved) and the main article and category of the topic. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:47, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:9/11 conspiracy theorists

Propose renaming Category:9/11 conspiracy theorists to Category:September 11 attacks conspiracy theorists
Nominator's rationale: Per main article and category. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Categorization (Manual of Style)

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: Speedied as per creator's tag. Debresser (talk) 23:48, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Categorization (Manual of Style) - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Unclear initiative. Debresser (talk) 19:50, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment What does Unclear initiative mean ? Gnevin (talk) 19:55, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well the purpose of Manual of Style is to show what is currently part of the MoS a category we don't currently have and Category:Categorization (Manual of Style) doe what it says on the tin. Its the part of the MoS related to categories Gnevin (talk) 21:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed I had in mind something along the lines of what Occuli said. Two Wikipedia pages about categorisation that are not part of MoS in a category called "Categorization (Manual of Style)" is what struck me as strange enough to call this initiative "unclear". Even after the explanations here and on my talk page, I fail to see how these Wikipedia pages relate to MoS. Debresser (talk) 22:11, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
These pages are tagged as such because they are on {{Style}} which deals with the MoS . Maybe they should be removed from there and this Category is unneeded Gnevin (talk) 23:16, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Hernia images

Category:Hernia images - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Category contains only 1 image, which is actually located at the commons. This image is already appropriately in commons:Category:Hernia. Scott Alter 17:22, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Relatives of L. Ron Hubbard

Category:Relatives of L. Ron Hubbard - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Categorizing by relationships is unnecessary. This category has six members of Hubbard family, three of which were L. Ron's wives. Karppinen (talk) 15:52, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs written by The Miracles members

Category:Songs written by The Miracles members - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Songs are written by people, not by people who are then associated together in some other way, and every entry in this category is already categorized by the individual(s) who wrote the songs. Richhoncho (talk) 13:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Prior to just recently,when I started this project, no one in the history of Wikipedia, has ever taken the time to list or document the songs written by the individual members of The Miracles,and it was ONLY RECENTLY, after I started it, that someone began to list the songs under their individual names. Since, of all of The Miracles, only Smokey Robinson's name is well known by the public,the result of this is that up until now,according to public perception,only Robinson alone wrote the songs, and has received sole credit for all of the songs written by the Miracles as a GROUP, which is unfair , since many of the songs were GROUP compositions.(I.E. the Miracles' 1965 Grammy Hall of Fame Inductee, The Tracks of My Tears was written by Miracles members Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore, and Marv Tarplin, not just Robinson alone).The reality is , I created this category to ensure that ALL of the songs written by EVERY member of The Miracles were listed together in one comprehensive category, to make sure that the entire group received credit for their songs, not just one member, and 2) to make it easier for the researcher to find a comprehensive list of ALL of their compositions in ONE PLACE, thereby making it unnecessary to have to look under all of their individual names to find their many composed songs, some of which, the researcher may not know. Regards and Many Thanks, Willgee (Willgee (talk) 21:45, 24 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete - this is the sort of useful info that would be much better in a detailed list, which could be included in Category:Songs written by Smokey Robinson etc. Occuli (talk) 12:30, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Motown Records artists

Propose renaming Category:Motown Records artists to Category:Motown artists
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match name of main article, Motown. Motown Records is a redirect. Richhoncho (talk) 12:53, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I very strongly support this move, as this category not only includes Motown Records releases, but that also of its subsidiaries, Tamla Records, Gordy Records, etc. Motown, like the main article, is the correct title, not Motown Records. Best, --Discographer (talk) 13:10, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Motown Records albums

Propose renaming Category:Motown Records albums to Category:Motown albums
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To bring into line with the main article Motown, Motown Records is a redirect. Richhoncho (talk) 12:49, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I support this move also, the reason being not only does this category include Motown Records releases, but that also of all its subsidiaries - i.e. Tamla Records, Gordy Records, etc. Best, --Discographer (talk) 13:07, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Video games based on television programs to Category:Video games based on television series
Propose renaming Category:Pinball machines based on television shows‎ to Category:Pinball machines based on television series
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Standardizing to format of all subcategories of Category:Media based on media, and all subcategories of Category:Television series. There are no other "adapted from a" categories that I can find.--Mike Selinker (talk) 06:00, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
