NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Windows-only games in seventh video game console generation era
- Category:Windows-only games in seventh video game console generation era - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization; categorizing one subject area by criteria drawn from another subject area also seems arbitrary to me. The category is additionally problematic because the specific date of the generation's beginning appears to be unclear according to History of video game consoles (seventh generation) and the category's own definition ("The Seventh generation era began at 2006 or near for home consoles"). All the articles in this category already belong to the most likely merge target Category:Windows games, so I suggest deletion and using the Category:21st century video games subcategories instead. --Muchness 13:14, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The category is a part of Only Xbox360 games, only PS3, only Wii and here now only Windows games in this same era! The Lists sorted only orginal exlusively pc games, not multi plattform titles from all times and for all crasy ports, similar Category:Windows games without all filter. --Fidelfair 13:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Category:Muslim hip hop groups
- Propose renaming Category:Muslim hip hop groups to Category:Islamic hip hop groups
- Nominator's rationale: Per the title of the parent category (Category:Islamic music) and the main article (Islamic music). Also, the groups themselves are not Muslim; the proper adjective is 'Islamic'. See also the 2007 Sep 27 CFD that renamed Category:Muslim music to Category:Islamic music. – Black Falcon (Talk) 04:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Rename per nom and precedent. "Muslim" is a person; "Islamic" is the adjective. Snocrates 05:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Category:African-American studies scholars
- Propose renaming Category:African-American studies scholars to Category:African American studies scholars
- Nominator's rationale: To match the title of the parent category (Category:African Americans), the indirect main article (African American studies), and the direct main article (African American studies). Originally proposed at WP:CFD/S, but contested. – Black Falcon (Talk) 00:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Rename, preferably to Category:Scholars of African American studies which would match some other "scholars by subject" where the other way round doesn't work smoothly. Or per nom. Johnbod 03:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Category:Fictional fundamentalists
- Category:Fictional fundamentalists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Single-member category, for which no objective and non-arbitrary inclusion criteria can be defined. The category description states that it is for "overtly religious fictional characters", but that raises a new question: how do we define or measure overt religiousity, especially without delving into original research? If kept, rename to Category:Fictional religious fundamentalists, to differentiate from other types, such as market fundamentalism. – Black Falcon (Talk) 00:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Category:Fictional United States Independents
- Category:Fictional United States Independents (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: This is a category for fictional Americans "who were not members of supporters of any party". Thus, it is effectively a "not" category (Category:Fictional Americans who do not support any political party). If kept, rename to Category:Fictional United States independents, since "independents" ought to be capitalised only when it refers to an actual political party. – Black Falcon (Talk) 00:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Bizarre category - no Homer Simpson, but the woman from Commander in Chief, who is elected as Vice-President on a Republican ticket. In fact this is not about supporting at all, but running for office on an independent ticket, which is totally different. But I can't be bothered to suggest a better name.

Category:Fictional cancer sufferers
- Propose renaming Category:Fictional cancer sufferers to Category:Fictional characters with cancer
- Nominator's rationale: An equally descriptive but less assuming title. Alternatively, rename to Category:Fictional cancer patients to match the category for real people (Category:Cancer patients). – Black Falcon (Talk) 00:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Category:Fat Albert
- Category:Fat Albert (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Eponymous overcategorisation for 3 articles, which are adequately interlinked in the articles themselves. – Black Falcon (Talk) 00:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
