Category:Shimizu Commercial High School footballers

[edit]
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: delete. The contents of the category are already listified at Shimuzu Commerical High School. –Black Falcon (Talk) 21:03, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Shimizu Commercial High School footballers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Listify Nominator's rationale: Shimuzu Commercial is a high school famous for turning out footballers and this list is of importance to Football in Japan, but category pages form "networks" (not the right word, exactly) and to keep this page would justify having like pages for each high school, for each sport, very much overcategorization Mayumashu (talk) 23:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
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: delete as overcategorization by name per multiple precedents. BencherliteTalk 08:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Roy Orbison (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Inappropriate self-named category for a singer; not necessary per WP:OCAT. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 20:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Roy Orbison along with his associated template serve as an appropriate navigational hub. The material pertaining to Orbison is not so complex that it can't and isn't easily interlinked through his article (which includes links to his discography and other associated articles in addition to the aforementioned template) and no one interested in Orbison and his material is going to have any difficulty getting to it through his article. Hundreds of similar categories for musicians, actors, politicians, etc. have been deleted and this is no different from them. Otto4711 (talk) 22:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The category gives a good starting place to the subcategories. Further there's no rule against categories being named for musicians, see Category:Categories named after musicians.--T. Anthony (talk) 11:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually we have been following that guideline fairly strictly, since well over 200 eponymous categories for musicians have been deleted in the last year. All of Orbison's songs are linked through the main article through the link to Roy Orbison discography and the videos are linked as well. So is Barbara's article.

The result of the discussion was: Keep. Doczilla STOMP! 08:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Female golfers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We don't usually categorize by gender, and there is no corresponding Category:Male golfers. If the Golfers By Tour category is sufficient to identify male golfers, it should work just as well for female golfers. Powers T 16:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It seems to be well populated. Also there are multiple categories for female athletes in Category:Sportswomen by sport (Guyinblack25 talk 17:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Saudi record labels to Category:Saudi Arabian record labels

Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects

[edit]
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: no consensus for anything to be done at the present. Dividing into sub-categories doesn't require CfD anyway. BencherliteTalk 08:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects to Category:Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category sits at the top level category Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects. The name of this category is confusing. All WikiProjects are in Wikipedia: prefix namespace. That confusion is shown by the subcategories presently under Wikipedia WikiProjects. Since a purpose of this category is to contain Wikipedia WikiProjects defined in terms of a particular Wikipedia maintenance task, that is what this category name should reflect. If there are other WikiProject Wikipedia-specific matters not covered by a subject area (such as architecture) or not covered by Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects, then another top level category under Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects can be created to cover that situation. GregManninLB (talk) 17:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to "something". It actually took me a minute to realise that this was a grouping of WikiProjects that aren't focused towards mainspace topics. But it's such a mixture, I'm not sure as to what we should call it. Perhaps (as a start) if it was split between Project maintenance and "User maintenance" (pardon the phrasing). Whatever the case, I think that the categorisation's a good idea, just that we need some clearer inclusion criteria, and clearer naming. - jc37 22:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:South Koreans of Russian descent per consensus. Doczilla STOMP! 08:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Russian-South Koreans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Not of great utility. Only one member. This, that and the other [talk] 11:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is a rather niche category. I don't see it being populated with many more articles. Not to say there aren't any Russian-South Koreans, but I doubt there would be too many article on notable Russian-South Koreans on the English Wikipedia.

Category:Neighborhoods in Mexico City

[edit]
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: no consensus, default to keep. Wizardman 02:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Neighborhoods in Mexico City to Category:Colonias of Mexico City
Nominator's rationale: "Neighborhood" is being used as an English translation of "colonia", but "colonia" is more strictly defined than "neighborhood", and not all the articles currently included in the category are actually colonias. The Spanish Wikipedia distinguishes between Categoría:Colonias de la Ciudad de México (Colonias of Mexico City) and Categoría:Localidades del Distrito Federal de México (Localities in the Federal District of Mexico).

The result of the discussion was: speedied as duplicate. Bearcat (talk) 16:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Live Phish (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Dupe of Category:Live Phish series. Empty. —  MusicMaker5376 03:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The category seems redundant with the Live Phish series already being used. And with it not populated, it is not needed at all. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]
  • MusicMaker5376, if you mistakenly create a category and then almost immediately discover that it was an unnecessary duplicate of one that already exists, you don't need to list it here for a week of discussion first — you can just tag it for CSD under criterion G7. Consider it speedied. Bearcat (talk) 16:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Canada's Sports Hall of Fame inductees. –Black Falcon (Talk) 20:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Canada's Sports Hall of Fame to Category:Inductees of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame
Nominator's rationale: Rename to this or suchlike. The category is used for the inductees, so I think it a misnomer to call it by its current name. Kolindigo (talk) 01:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Wizardman 00:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Conway Public Schools (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category was created approximately 1-1/2 years ago and todate still contains only a single article of the same name. The category serves no purpose. The category was also categorized in such a way that no other article would ever meet the requirements of the current categorization. Dbiel (Talk) 01:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't think a single article warrants a category. The article would be better off in a parent category. (Guyinblack25 talk 17:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]
The article and the category are both currently in the same subcategories Category:School districts in Arkansas and Category:Conway, Arkansas
(note: the article is in one additional subcategory) Dbiel (Talk) 01:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing to upmerge. The category currently simply creates duplicate entries for its single article in the higher level categories (one as a sub category and one as an article Dbiel (Talk) 01:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Speedy Deleted as a hoax (non-admin closure). brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:My Normal characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Every single page in this category is nonsense/hoax. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ned Webbers. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 00:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
