Category:Big Sky football team navigational boxes

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: speedy keep per WP:CSK. The same proposal was made by the same nominator at CfD 2018 April 3, and closed on 11 April as no consensus. Bringing the same proposal back again less than 2 weeks later is blatant WP:FORUMSHOPping. Leave it for at least a few months. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Propose deleting Category:Big Sky football team navigational boxes - Template:Lc1
  

Nominator's rationale: These navboxes are already grouped at Category:NCAA Division I FCS team navigational boxes There's no need to further subdivide them by conference. Note: I nominated this category three weeks ago. That discussion closed whit no consensus. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. No need and we don't do it for other conferences. Corky 01:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Category:Muscat, Oman

• Propose renaming Category:Muscat, Oman to Category:Muscat

Nominator's rationale: After the last CFD resulted in no consensus to rename, I must decide to give another shot to rename the category with "Muscat" as the Omani capital to be the primary target of the category. ApprenticeFan work 08:44, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose - the name is ambiguous. The move of the article I would consider controversial as the attempted move in 2016 attracted 21 opinions whereas the actual move in 2017 merely 3. Oculi (talk) 09:40, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose. I agree with Oculi that the low attendance RM following a much better-attended one was indeed dubious. Even if we disregard that, the term is still far too ambiguous to avoid miscategorisation.

Even when an article has been chosen as primary topic, both readers and editors are usually better-served by unambiguous category names where possible, and in this case there is no wider naming convention involved.

In this case, the situation is unusual because there is as yet no Category:Muscat (grape). That is odd because the article Muscat (grape) shows many related articles which could and should be so categorised. This means that an editor using WP:HotCat to try to categorise a grape-related topic will find no grape-specific category ... and without one they are much more likely to miscategorise in a bare Category:Muscat than in Category:Muscat, Oman. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:36, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Category:Burials at Forest Hills Cemetery

• Propose merging Category:Burials at Forest Hills (Jamaica Plain) to Category:Burials at Forest Hills Cemetery (Boston)
• Propose merging Category:Burials at Forest Hills Cemetery to Category:Burials at Forest Hills Cemetery (Boston)

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category was created on 11 April. Merger was then proposed on the Speedy page, but opposed as ambiguous, see Forest Hill Cemetery (disambiguation) and Category talk:Burials at Forest Hills (Jamaica Plain). – Fayenatic London 07:38, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Category:Vishal–Shekhar soundtracks

• Propose deleting Category:Vishal–Shekhar soundtracks - Template:Lc1
  

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT --woodensuperman 15:54, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 04:18, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

• Weak support, with no prejudice against re-creation later. This doesn't fall under WP:SMALLCAT, which is for categories "...that, by their very definition, will never have more than a few members." Vishal-Shekhar have written quite a few award-winning or award-nominated soundtracks, but at the moment most of these are just sections from articles about the movies. I can easily see soundtracks such as that for Student of the Year developing into separate articles. Perhaps a navbox is in order as a stopgap measure? Grutness...wha? 01:07, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
