NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:1920s in Saudi Arabia

Propose deleting Category:1920s in Saudi Arabia - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Saudi Arabia did not exist in the 1920s (it was established in 1932), so nothing could have happened in Saudi Arabia in the 1920s. As an alternative, the category could be renamed to how the area was known before that time. Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 09:10, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. "Britain and Saudi Arabia 1925-1939" is a rather ridiculous book, since nothing happened in Saudi Arabia in the 1920s. "A Historical Atlas of Saudi Arabia" has "The map on this page, representing the united kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1920". We hve had this discussion numeroud times in the past and now at other category discussions: what is gained by deleting this category? I haven't good one convincing answer yet. I have no objection to people adding the historically named categories as well, where applicable, but to do that one doesn't need to remove the categories for the current countries. These things happened in the 1920s in what is now Saudi Arabia, and have a direct influence on and interest for Saudi Arabia. Fram (talk) 09:38, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films starring Jim Carrey

Propose deleting Category:Films starring Jim Carrey - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete We don't keep "films starring Foo" categories for a number of good reasons, the first being that "starring" is hard to define objectively, the second being that these categories quickly lead to clutter. Pichpich (talk) 03:47, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per long-standing precedent not to cat films by actors who've starred in them. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:38, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
