NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Converts to Episcopalianism from Roman Catholicism

Propose merging Category:Converts to Episcopalianism from Roman Catholicism to Category:Converts to Anglicanism from Roman Catholicism

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There is no ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Converts to Episcopalianism. "Episcopalianism" is a synonym for "Anglicanism" that is used in a few countries. No need to subdivide, especially at this point with only one article in it. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - while a few of the articles in the higher level category could be moved to this one, it is not big enough to need sub-categories by branch of the Anglican Churches in communion with Canterbury. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chief justices of Lithuania

Propose renaming Category:Chief justices of Lithuania to Category:Presidents of the Constitutional Court of Lithuania

Nominator's rationale: Rename. The "chief justice" of Lithuania is the President of the Constitutional Court of Lithuania. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ambivalent. This category only exists to complete Category:Chief justices by country. It only has one member, although more names (not articles or even redlinks) can be found at Constitutional Court of Lithuania. Is this chief versus president nomenclature an artifact of language and of no real meaning. Would it be more easily understood, and simpler, to leave as is, but to explain the different title on the category page? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Red-Headed Women

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 delete under G4, see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 August 6#Category:Red-headed celebrities. — ξ ^xplicit 20:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Red-Headed Women - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Not entirelys sure what purpose this category serves. Will just lead to arguements and edit warring more likely than not. magnius (talk) 20:00, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, bordering on a speedy. What's next, one for blue-eyed men? Nymf _hideliho! 20:27, 11 July 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:Semi-arid climate

Category:Semi-arid climate - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category appears to have been created to hold one bio energy feedstock plant. Clearly that plant has noting to do with climate the sole parent. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Internal combustion engine vehicles

Category:Internal combustion engine vehicles - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete. I fail to see the need to classify vehicles in this way. Especially since vehicles can use several different types of internal combustion engines. It would be better to cleanup, split or rename Category:Internal combustion engine to concentrate of the various types. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete despite my qualms on your userspace page I agree with the nom. This user was banned for good reason and the indifference from the community to his efforts to introduce another totally new classification system for cars, one that would span a century or so of automotive history and models, speaks for itself, I think.

Category:Wikipedian New York Mets fans

Category:Wikipedian New York Mets fans - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: What relevance does this have to building an encyclopaedia? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Regardless of whether you feel wikipedians having fun is helpful to the project as a whole, you need to nominate the whole or the top (i.e. supracategory) of the category tree or trees (for wikipedians by personal preferences or by fav. sports teams, or fav. baseball team, or fav. NY baseball team, etc.), not just a single 'branch'. Mayumashu (talk) 00:01, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fighting Records albums

Category:Fighting Records albums - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete: redlink label —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Faith & Hope albums

Category:Faith & Hope albums - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete - redlink record label —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Prep school

Category:Prep school - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete as ill-defined (given the different meaning of the term in North-America and Europe). Moreover, redundant with Category:Preparatory schools and Category:Private schools which serves to distinguish the two. Pichpich (talk) 13:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – the subcat and the articles are already properly categorised and this recent creation adds nothing. Occuli (talk) 14:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional vegetarians

Category:Fictional vegetarians - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete as (for the overwhelming majority) a non-defining characteristic. There is already a list covering fictional vegetarians. Pichpich (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this has been deleted at least once before - eg cfd Oct 2008 - although it depended to some extent on an argument by jc37 that was too subtle for my limited mind. As we have Category:Vegetarians (which has survived several cfds), I don't myself see why there should not be Category:Fictional vegetarians. (The List of fictional vegetarians would be devoured by the list-deletionists if they see it: no sources, no claim to notability, list cruft etc.) Occuli (talk) 15:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. It is non-defining and an irrelevant characteristic. --LoЯd ۞pεth 01:47, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Microcomputers with non-standard form factors

Category:Microcomputers with non-standard form factors - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete. The articles so categorized do not seem to mention this factor at all, and I can see precious little about this anywhere in Wikipedia. Seems to be WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE and non-defining. If more technically adept people than me come along and prove me wrong, and I'll be glad to be so proven, in this case. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Scheduled elections in Canada

Propose renaming Category:Scheduled elections in Canada to Category:Future elections in Canada

Nominator's rationale: Rename. In Canada many provinces do not have fixed election dates and are called at the whim of the governing party, even federally for example the government has not followed its fixed election date law. The rename used to be the old name until someone changed it. Þadius (talk) 01:04, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, that's a very good point, unfortunately its difficult to overrule a discussion that's so recent. 117Avenue (talk) 01:24, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually it probably would have been better to wait for this discussion to finish. Seems like there are several options that could be better. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:14, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It would be good to do all the "scheduled elections" at once. Perhaps we should renominate all of them under one nomination.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I don't think that would be a good idea. Based on the discussions, we should be expecting different outcomes by country. So a bulk nomination would, in my opinion, not be wise. The first renomination is showing a broad set of options including ones not mentioned in the bulk nomination or the DRV. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:13, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Okay.--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom, because as noted here, the hostility to the word "future" is misplaced. Let's just use the simple, clear and unambiguous word. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:20, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
