Category:Celebrities by nationality and subcats

• Category:American celebrities
• Category:Barbadian celebrities
• Category:British celebrities
• Category:English celebrities
• Category:Scottish celebrities
• Category:Welsh celebrities
• Category:Canadian celebrities
• Category:Hong Kong celebrities
• Category:Japanese celebrities
• Category:Malaysian Celebrity (currently nominated for speedy renaming to Category:Malaysian celebrities)

Delete, "celebrities" is an extremely POV word. These categories are just unnecessary. Most of the cats state "Individuals should not be included in this category unless they do not fit into another occupational category". Every person in these categories is already placed into another more specific category. --musicpvm 15:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Saxophonists who are capable of circular breathing

Not really a style like jazz. Also, contains only Kenny G.--Mike Selinker 14:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Leaders of alleged cults

Category:Leaders of alleged cults (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) There is already a Category:Cult leaders, with specific criteria. This category is an attempt to 'label' certain people under the controversial label of "cult". A POV magnet: POV pushing via categorization. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 14:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nom. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 14:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Bookgrrl 15:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete totally arbitrary category. LaszloWalrus 15:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:M51 subgroup

Category:M51 subgroup (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete - The original creator had found a website that conjectured that the M101 Group and the M51 Group were both part of a single group of galaxies. However, most scientific references (such as those used in the M101 Group article) indicate that the M101 Group and M51 Group are separate entities. Therefore, keeping the M51 subgroup category is not useful. George J. Bendo 11:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:W. S. Gilbert plays

Category:W. S. Gilbert plays into Category:Works by W. S. Gilbert

• Merge, The W. S. Gilbert plays category isn't actually being used, and has no reason to be given that almost all his notable output was for the stage - but a mixture of plays, operas and operettas. Spinning off the least useful category is unneccessary. Adam Cuerden ^talk 09:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Performers by performance

I think the following should be a new criteria for speedy deletion, per many examples on CfD lately. This isn't the same as CSD A7, because it's about the actions of the performers, not the performers themselves (not to mention that it's for a category, not an article). Let's call this proposed CSD C6.

Some examples:

• Performers who have performed <action>
• Performers who have portrayed <character name>
• Performers who have portrayed <a type of character>
• Performers who have performed <a specific work>

-

• "Performers" can include actors/actresses (including porn), models, singers, dancers, comedians, etc.
• "Action" examples: a "spit take", "anal sex", a "pirouette", a "runway walk", a "pratfall", a "sword fight", etc.
• "Character name" examples: Darth vader, or Hamlet. This includes voicing animated characters, such as Donald Duck. This also includes doing "impressions".
• "A type of character" examples: wealthy, poor, religious, homeless, gay, female, politician, Scottish, dead, etc.
• "A specific work" examples: "Amazing Grace", "Swan Lake", "Hamlet" (the play), "Why did the chicken cross the road?" (a joke), etc.

Cast members of a show

Support or Oppose: Should CSD C6 - Performers by performance (proposed above) be expanded to include:

• Cast members of <show>
• Cast members of a show by <location>

-

• "Show" can be a TV series, a broadway production, etc.
• "Location" examples: Broadway, television, film, Vietnam, Hollywood, Bollywood, The Improv, Australia, the Palladium, Carnegie Hall, etc

-

• Further question, if kept: Should "show" be specific? For example: A revival of Show Boat, would have a different cast than the original production. Or general (any version of the show)?

-

• Support as nominator. - jc37 09:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - if kept, I prefer categorisation by specific show casts. - jc37 09:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Persons by creative work

Support or Oppose: Should CSD C6 - Performers by performance (proposed above) be expanded to include:

• Persons by <creative work>

-

• "Persons" in this context are those who create the creative works. Examples: Artisans, blacksmiths, violin makers, bakers, artists, sculptors, producers, cinematographers, jewellers, engravers, brewers, etc.
• "Creative work" examples: a sculpture, a painting, a diagram, a blueprint, a theory of mathematics, a novel, a dictionary, an article, a blog, a web site, a cake, a carpet, a bookshelf, a bridge, a galley, a pocket watch, a bell, a computer, a video game program, a programming language, a television show, a slide show presentation, a log cabin, an igloo, etc.

• Comment: This is not the way to propose a new speedy deletion criteria. New criteria are reached by discussion and consensus, not through polls. Preferably, that discussion should take place at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion, where it will get a wide audience. - EurekaLott 13:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Superman locations

Category:Superman locations into Category:DC Comics locations

• Merge, Like the other superhero subcats listed below, this is a small subcat for a fictional set of locations in the DC Comics Universe. The majority of them are already listed in other appropriate categories, such as planets, cities or organizations. Any that are not can easily be accomodated in the parent cat.

Category:Upcoming segregates of Olacaceae

Category:Upcoming segregates of Olacaceae (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
category is patent nonsense. KP Botany 00:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete Category is a category of plant families that may be formed if the "APG III" (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III), an entity that currently doesn't appear to exist other than on Wikipedia pages, is ever created and if it takes up the question of those families and if it decides that those families should be split. In other words, it's POV speculation about the future results of future original research by a future entity. It's generally a bad idea to have a category for "Plant families that ... are likely to be recognized in APG III" should APG III ever exist. It's pre-original research.
