March 10

Category:Wikipedians who were cryogenically frozen

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. The category was speedy deleted per WP:CSD#C3. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 22:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsensical category, also is empty.. rogerd 23:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It is really disheartening to see such a waste of time. --Ezeu 23:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Waste of time. His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana (talk) 00:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. --Valentinian (talk) 01:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, at least it's optimistic. David Kernow 02:23, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Until there are legitimate entries for the category, it's just a bad joke. --Allen 02:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. In very poor taste. Raul654 03:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I do not know of any cases where people have been successfully brought back to life after being cryogenically frozen. Even if it were to happen, it will be decades, if not centuries, before it does. --TML1988 04:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Double speedy delete as nonsense, and as empty. Alai 06:04, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete taking up space.--Alhutch 07:37, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nonsense category, as well as empty. Ambuj Saxena (talk 15:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Amcbride and TML1988. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 18:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per everybody --Khoikhoi 04:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Its presence devalues the "Deceased Wikipedians" parent category. Rockpocket 23:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

Category:RNC Chairmen to Category:Republican National Committee chairmen

This category should be renamed to remove the abbreviation. --tomf688{talk} 23:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Rename per nom. --Ezeu 01:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy rename as per nom. David Kernow 02:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy rename as per nom --rogerd 13:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy rename...but what's the rush? ;) --Khoikhoi 04:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • This doesn't meet the critera for speedy renaming, but rename nonetheless. - EurekaLott 06:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User OS/Mac OS X

Empty dupe of Category:Mac OS X users. Omniplex  22:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Ezeu 01:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let's list all of the Mac OS X users in the world. Nah!, on the other hand...Delete per nom --rogerd 01:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete per nom. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Greek golfers

This was created to contain the article about Jack Nicklaus's caddie, who was Greek. He was already in category:Caddies and I don't think caddies should be classified as golfers unless they had a notable golf career of their own (which is almost never the case). I start most of Wikipedia's new articles about golfers but have no plans to write any about Greek golfers as I am not aware of any notable Greek golfers. Delete. Osomec 22:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

  • Delete as per nom, unless quickly populated with notable Greek golf players (rather than caddies who also play/ed golf). David Kernow 22:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I must admit I wasn't sure about this when I did created it. With the effort to make sure that everybody in sports gets a nationality/sport category, I would support changing this to Category:Greek caddies and giving the other guys in category:Caddies similar caddies. That's certainly OK with me.--Mike Selinker 22:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. Leave him in category:Caddies. Rockpocket 23:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub template categories

These were all recently orphaned by the deletion of Category:Stub templates, here, and ought to be deleted themselves for essentially the same reasons. (Duplication of other listings, and non-standardising and complication of the code for stub templates.) Alai 21:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per nominator. Osomec 22:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Valentinian (talk) 00:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • del. dont need 'em. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 01:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom - just more clutter. Grutness...wha? 18:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question This means simply that the template won't be filed in a category, right? The template itself would still exist and would still sort articles into, say Category:Film stubs? Her Pegship 22:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • the templates would work the same way they always do, putting articles in stub categories. but the templates themselves wouldnt be in a special category for templates. why should they be? theyre all listed along with a lot more information already. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 01:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, then Delete per nom. Her Pegship 20:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Constantine Dynasty to Category:Flavian dynasty

Present name is an invention; please rename to WP capitalization and the usual name of the dynasty of C. Flavius Constantinus Septentrionalis 21:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose this particular rename, as the Flavian dynasty is something entirely different. The category probably should be renamed to something else, though, as the current name isn't very meaningful (or correctly capitalized). —Kirill Lokshin 23:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Constantinian dynasty. As KL notes the Flavians are something else entirely. - choster 19:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ghost Whisperer episodes

A user requested deletion on my talk page on the grounds that the episode list should be filed directly in Category:Episode lists — however, one episode has already been written up and all of the others so far are redlinks on the episode list, indicating that an intention seems to exist to write up the others as well, and if that happens there has to be somewhere to file them. (I personally think articles about individual episodes of a TV series are generally unnecessary, but I know there's an ongoing Wikicontroversy about that.) I created the category, but only because Pilot (Ghost Whisperer) was previously filed in all the TV series categories, where it doesn't belong — I have very little interest in the topic otherwise. No vote from me; procedural nom since deletion has been requested by another user. Bearcat 19:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Has to go somewhere, and that's where.--Mike Selinker 05:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Minor league hockey teams

As ice hockey teams appear to be listed directly within their leagues, this category is empty and superfluous. Besides, we need to specify field hockey or ice hockey. choster 18:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:NWFA to Category:National Women's Football Association

Please expand the abbreviation. Scranchuse 15:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Category:Rings of Saturn

Empty category since articles of separate rings have merged. Please delete. --Donar Reiskoffer 08:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per nom. Osomec 22:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Ezeu 01:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom --Khoikhoi 04:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:National Geographic's 50 Most Important Political Leaders of All Time to Category:National Geographic's 50 Most Important Political Leaders in History

Delete. I wouldn't mind seeing this category deleted as it is based on a non-authoritative list from a 2004 almanac, but if deletion fails, at least let us use the proper (ie. official) name for this list. Ezeu 03:31, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have a link to the article itself? -- Andrew Parodi 08:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a tabular summary of the original list. http://www.filibustercartoons.com/charts_othr_50leaders.php Bellczar 22:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As of now, no one is categorized under Category:National Geographic's 50 Most Important Political Leaders in History. I support the change since "in History" is clearer than "of All Time", but we have to change the category in all relevant articles since we cannot simply move the category.--Jusjih 08:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fixed number of entries, so should be implemented as list. Noisy | Talk 15:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Opinion not fact. Scranchuse 15:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Useful and thought-provoking tabulation by a respected and politically unbiased organization. Bellczar 22:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. NG is indeed respected, but this list is not why. Publications of every sort are constantly publishing these kinds of lists, and only a very few are significant and longstanding enough to have attained notability (e.g. the Fortune 500). Incidentally, political bias is not necessarily a reason to delete a list, but I don't agree in the slightest that the NGS is "unbiased." -choster 23:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. as per choster Osomec 00:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not encyclopedic. --Valentinian (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not a primary, secondary, tertiary, .... characteristics of a person. Pavel Vozenilek 14:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per choster --Khoikhoi 04:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category: Irish Solicitor-Generals to Category:Solicitors-General for Ireland

Correct plural form; for prefered over of according to Solicitor-General for Ireland. JonHarder 03:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename in accordance with proposal above. Gustavus 10:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per above. --Ezeu 01:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom --rogerd 21:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom --Khoikhoi 04:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Culture and sport in the European Union to Category:Cultural policies of the European Union

If this contained what its name implies it should that would amount to tens of thousands of articles rather than seven. It is actually for articles about the European Union's activities in these fields, which don't amount to much. The two articles about sport could perhaps be moved into a separate category, though sport is treated as a branch of culture within the overall categorisation system. category:European sport already exists. Rename Category:Cultural policies of the European Union Choalbaton 03:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Category:WNT

This is bad in so many ways: it is abbreviated; it exists mainly to contain an article which needs cleanup and possibly shouldn't exist; it cuts across other categories for sports teams; it is U.S. centric because the term is U.S. centric. Just delete it please. Choalbaton 02:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

In that case, delete and relist population under Category:Women's national football (soccer) teams – although this doesn't appear necessary. Thanks, David Kernow 02:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Choalbaton --lightdarkness (talk) 14:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Choalbaton Scranchuse 15:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm a major fan of women's soccer and basketball, and I've never heard this term before. I certainly haven't heard it applied to the US women's national basketball team. While I certainly believe that the US women's national soccer team could deserve its own category, this isn't it.--Mike Selinker 01:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per choalbaton --Khoikhoi 04:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Colour commentators to Category:Canadian colour commentators

Category:Color commentators to Category:American color commentators

This category was apparently set up in contrast to category:Color commentators to reflect a Canadian/American spelling difference. The term colo(u)r commentator may well not be used outside North America, but it seems sensible to define this more precisely. Rename Choalbaton 01:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Category:Braxton clan to Category:Braxton family

This category is for people related to the singer Toni Braxton. The term clan, while technically applicable, carries connotations which do not apply and IMHO is ostentatious; I see no reason why this category shouldn't match its counterparts in Category:American families. -choster 00:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1066 and Norman conquest of England to Category:Norman conquest of England

The title seems a little awkward, and it is also somewhat misleading as to the contents of the category. The Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, but the full conquest took rather longer and the category properly covers the full breadth of the topic, eg the Revolt of the Earls, which took place in 1075. Rename Hawkestone 00:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Category:Entertainer of South Korea to Category:South Korean people by occupation

This category is in poor English and "entertainers" doesn't seem to be a conventional category. If it is upmerged the articles can then by moved to the relevant categories, eg actors or singers. Merge Nathcer 23:36, 9 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]
