Really, this is a MERGE into existing "Ethnic Groups" cat. Pointless distinction. Why does "Ethnic groups" get to survive? Because that is what ended up on the "Browse" interface. Again, on this subject area, most people cannot be bothered with the subtleties of specific-groups vs. how-to-group and there were many cat'ing errors. Throw the whole thing in one category at them and they will easily figure it out and not feel like they are being jerked around. -- Fplay 21:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Inherantly a pov category and not just that but the artilces linked do not seem to have a logical connection. Articles such as Halabja poison gas attack and List of Kurdish organisations appear on the same category making little sense. --Cool CatTalk|@ 21:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator. Used for very motley collection of articles, unclear what it's intended for, and any tightened-up definiton I can think of would be POV. Bishonen | talk 21:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blank vote. Agree with nominator but I guess if I were a Kurd I'd feel it was unfair that Category:Anti-Semitism probably wouldnt lose a CFD.--Ezeu 21:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per CoolCat. I see tendency to create low quality and but high bias anti- articles for many nations (like Anti-Polonism). Anti-Semitism is at least very widely used. Pavel Vozenilek 03:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, neologism at best, clearly POV at worst-- unlike anti-semitism which is a common term and has many related articles. Titular article is precisely one sentence long and does not provide any references using the term "Anti-Kurdism", the only reference is on the web - a site consisting only of photos of a firing squad with a title in Arabic (or could be Farsi, I'm not an expert). siafu 20:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A highly specialized category used for holding images on Wikipedia that aren't orphaned (e.g. are placed on some article) yet are processed somehow, e.g. for deletion. At any rate the current name is rather wrong, but "images in use" doesn't quite cover it either. Suggestions please? Radiant_>|< 21:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC) (nominated for renaming btw)[reply]

Keep as is - I'm not even sure what you really mean. This has absolutely nothing to do with "processing", but with images which are used for an article, but which may not show up as having links on their image description page. It's a verifiable declaration meant solely to protect the image from those who look for orphaned images (those not used directly in any article) to prune. AnonMoos 02:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No reason for change of name; too useful for a delete. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 14:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • It definitely needs a rename. The term "not orphan", to laymen, refers to a person whose parents are still alive. What is apparently meant is "Wikipedia images used on an article". Eschew obfuscation. Radiant_>|< 14:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • What it means is "Wikipedia images used IN SOME WAY in relation to an article, but which may not show up as being directly displayed on any other page, and so are therefore vulnerable to showing up on the radar of 'Orphan-bots' which call attention to unlinked (and so apparently unused) images." Since the word "Orphan" is used with respect to unlinked images in other contexts than the name of this category, there's no need to purge it from the name of the category (though the name might be lengthened to make it less ambiguous). The terminology comes from the study of tree data structures in computer science: Tree (data structure). AnonMoos 18:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Please read my previous comments above. AnonMoos 20:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • So these images are, in fact, orphaned? siafu 20:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Whatever, dude -- it depends how you quibble over your semantics. Read again, and you may yet understand. Tolle Lege AnonMoos 20:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well, "dude", I'm not quibbling over semantics, but if they're not linked to any articles, then they're orphaned. I just want to know how they're different from orphaned images such that we should have a category to seperate them. How about rather than talking down to a direct question, you answer it instead? It may help myself and others to understand. siafu 00:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
            • I was getting annoyed because I don't know how to explain what I wrote above any more clearly in words of one syllable or less. If you have any specific query which does not seem to be mainly motivated by argumentative quibbling over semantics for its own sake, then I will try to answer it to the best of my ability AnonMoos 18:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
            • In most cases these are pictures that are linked, but with inline links that users must click, rather than the normal image display links. This is done for images that would otherwise overload articels, and for images with possibily disturbing or non-work-safe content, that are relevant to an article but need not always diaply with that article. it may be done for other reasons, too. The problem is that the normal automated methods for finding "orphan images" consider only the normal display links. DES (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename. "Unorphaned pictures" seems like it works to me. "Not orphan"... that's silly. I would fit into that category. Matt Yeager 21:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to "Unorphaned iamges" or "Unorphaned iamges without display links" if you want a fully accurate name, or even "Non-orphan images" but get the word "images" into the name to avoid confusion. DES (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perfectly obvious. "Space" means five other things. The W page for Space means something else. The page is "Space exploration" and the cat should be also. Of course, have to fix up the Commons and blah blah blah. No worse than Art vs. Arts. This is too high-visibilty to get it wrong: it is in the Wikipedia:Browse stuff. This has to be recociled. If we must keep "Space", then we move the W pages around. Unlike Art vs. Arts, I will try to hold off for a day or two on this one. -- Fplay 18:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WHOA! Lowercase "e" on explore. The cat already exists and is full of stuff. That is what we are going to unify it on today. No waiting. Lots of Commons stuff to fix... Folks: Do not even bother to comment: this is really a "category merge". -- Fplay 19:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
And for anyone who would split hairs about exploration vs. astronomy vs. UFO's vs. I-do-not-know-what: Forget about it! No normal healthy user wants to be bothered with such hair-splitting. We only have two people in space right now and the probes are doing exploring and, very unfortunately, that is what is going to be happening maybe for a good long while to come. -- Fplay 19:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was no consensus --Kbdank71 16:02, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The title implies that the all the articles (e.g. oats, rosemary, mistletoe) are accepted medication (they are not); I couldn't think of a better name for the category (the category Medicinal plants already exists)--CDN99 03:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This category has 4 subcategories (of which medicinal plants is one) and 86 articles in the main category; deleting it would eliminate any sort of classification of medicinal/psychoactive plants as such. The title of the category does not, imo, imply "accepted medication"- it does not say "FDA approved medicine", "Pharmaceutical plants" or anything similar. to limit "medicine" and "drug" to modern, western prescription guidelines seems to exhibit cultural bias and a disregard for the practices and knowledge of the vast majority of the world. (no insult intended towards the nominator- we are obviously just inferring different connotations from the title and approach Wikipedia from somewhat different angles.) If the name is decidedly bad, it should be renamed, but not deleted. --Heah talk 04:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: why not have Medicinal plants as a category, and Psychoactive plants as a sub category? I think that would make more sense than Herbal & fungal drugs/medicines, Herbal & fungal stimulants, Herbal & fungal hallucinogens.--CDN99 13:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • cm: herbal and fungal hallucinogens is also part of the tripartite categorization scheme of Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants; i think the more exact subcategories are useful. But renaming and some reorganization seems in order. (i didn't create the category, but i did rename it at some point while i was filling it in, and have to admit i was ignorant of MOS guidelines on category naming!)
  • At the very least rename this to avoid ampersands and slashes. There probably is a point to this cat, and there probably are some articles in there that don't belong. Radiant_>|< 14:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename as nominated --Kbdank71 15:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

it is unclear what "militant" means, and the use of the word militant also raises serious POV questions. All of the groups listed, with the possibile exception of Puka Llacta, engaged in armed warfare. Even Puka Llacta supported the Shining Path in their brutal insurgency. Since this category is clearly being used as a place for groups under arms, I believe we should change the name to reflect that. Descendall 03:28, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's also unclear what "Leftist" means. In the United States, some might consider the Democratic party "Leftist". Also, is the United States an armed Rightist group when it has a Republican president and an armed Leftist group when it has a Democratic president? I'm being a little facetious (not to be confused with Fascist) here, but still.Hackwrench 18:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but armed leftist groups is still much better. I have no doubt that the vast majority of leftist groups that do take up arms, most of them communist, would be almost universially considered leftist, even by the group itself. We have a Left-wing politics, so I think we can have a Category:Armed leftist groups. "Militant" is much more ambigious, as anyone who ferverntly believes something is a militant. --Descendall 19:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I created this category just now, but the next two relevant articles I came across used the word "statistics" rather than "records". There are probably a good number of relevant articles, but they are scattered in all corners of the huge football category.

I believe the term "Soviet" is not unambiguous enough. It's not just an adjective to the Soviet Union, it's also a noun, denoting a "council of workers", after which the USSR was named. I believe the proposed name makes it clear that the category refers to political repression in the Soviet Union, and not to political repression by workers' councils.
