Category:List of Kerala Cartoonists

Listify and Delete, This is already a list posing as a category. It looks like it was created accidentally in the wrong namespace and it has no members. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 22:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Despot

Mark as {{deletedcategory}}, to match Category:Dictators. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 22:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Synonyms for feces

Delete. The subject matter entirely aside, this sets a bad precedent for word-based categories (rather than topic-based categories). Powers ^T 22:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Culture of FY

Rename to Category:Culture of former Yogoslavia, to expand the (frozen yogurt?) acronym. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 22:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nominator. Gene Nygaard 22:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Humor magazine

Category:Humor magazine to Category:Humor magazines

Rename. I, the creator of the category, made a typo when submitting it. GilliamJF 21:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedian Dittoheads

Rename to Category:Wikipedians who listen to Rush Limbaugh, to match Category:Wikipedians who listen to Howard Stern. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 19:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Notable Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc

Category:Notable Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc to Category:Members of Alpha Phi Alpha

~~Rename~~, Per WP:NCCAT; presumably only the "notable" ones are in Wikipedia. Also, remove the "Fraternity, Inc" to match the main article. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 19:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per ProveIt --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 22:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Category:Alpha Phi Alpha brothers, convention of Category:United States student societies. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 19:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WWE fans of Wikipedia

Rename to Category:Wikipedian World Wrestling Entertainment fans, to match Category:Wikipedian Major League Baseball fans. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 19:20, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Towns in Suriname

Category:Towns in Suriname to Category:Cities and towns in Suriname

Rename, This category includes all cities and towns from the capital down. By contrast the list was at List of cities in Suriname until I moved it to List of cities and towns in Suriname. Brammen 18:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Religious Symbols

Category:Religious Symbols to Category:Religious symbols

Rename, Naming conventions. GilliamJF 18:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bionicle species

Category:Bionicle species into Category:Bionicle groups

Merge. Currently, the only difference between the two is that "groups" are made up of a set of characters while "species" are made of a set of breeds within those species, which are just as different from each other as the individual characters in the "groups" are. Blurring the line even further between the two is that several "groups" consist of a single race anyway. Drakhan 17:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. No problem. In fictional things, the diference of Groups and Species are very little. Always, the Bionicle wildlife haven't many articles. Antidermis2319 22:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Articles with unsourced statements

Delete, most editors who have commented on this category's talk page agree that this is not a useful category. It is far too large and difficult to navigate. I am open to any proposals that would help wikipedians locate, subcategorize and source a manageable number of articles with unsourced statements. But it is not helpful to automatically dump tens of thousands of articles into one useless category.The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 15:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per previous DRV that {{fact}} should retain its category. See ANI archive and links therein. Dragons flight 16:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or at least move to the talk page. Brammen 18:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep How else are we supposed to find these and make wikipedia better?Lkinkade 21:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Useful and necessary category, used to locate and contain articles with a major problem (necessary citation being absent). I agree that its usefulness would be dramatically increased if there was a convenient way to display the intersection of this category and some other category of interest.

Sydney Swans categories to South Melbourne/Sydney Swans

Category:Sydney Swans coaches to Category:South Melbourne/Sydney Swans coaches
Category:Sydney Swans players to Category:South Melbourne/Sydney Swans players
Rename. Titles to more accurately reflect contents. JPD (talk) 11:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Would this be a precedent to change the names for other team categories where the team has moved location, ie, Brisbane Lions etc. I agree with the idea if the categories are going to be mixed anyway. Ansell 12:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Oppose. Our precedent so far has been to assign people only to the teams they played for, and if the club changes names, the person gets two categories. So there are category:California Angels players, category:Anaheim Angels players, and category:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim players. This should be broken in two.--Mike Selinker 14:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Colleges and Universities in U.S. Dependencies

Category:Colleges and Universities in U.S. Dependencies to Category:Universities and colleges in United States dependencies

Rename - There are three issues here: 1) capitalization, 2) "U.S." should be spelled out, and 3) the convention in Category:Universities and colleges in the United States by state is to use "Universities and colleges" rather than "Colleges and universities". —Cswrye 07:21, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Killers

Delete, Simply duplicates article The Killers (band). Faith healer 03:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I made it contain both an album and a song category, so that should be enough, per previous nomination on category:Tori Amos, and others.--Mike Selinker 14:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dragon Door

Delete, Inappropriate category created to promote a specific non-notable company. fbb_fan 03:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Longest film careers

Delete, No criteria listed. How long is longest? If not delete, then perhaps remane into something like "People with film careers longer than xx years". After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 03:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - too POV. Michael 03:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Listify for us movie fans. Not POV, though, since it's based on fact rather than opinion. ♥ Her Pegship♥ 18:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes it is POV, because it's subjective what the lower limit should be. Brammen 18:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subjective and trivial. Brammen 18:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
