NZ mass murderers

Category:Spree shootings in New Zealand - Template:Lc1

Category:New Zealand spree killers - Template:Lc1

Category:New Zealand mass murderers - Template:Lc1

Delete All

Nominator's rationale: We have a series of heavily interlinked categories with only one or two articles. Since there have only been two spree shootings in New Zealand there is little immediate prospect for growth. Also it has been proposed that David Gray (murderer) be mmerged to Aramoana massacre, further reducing the number of pages to be categorised. (Stanley Graham should probably be renamed to be about the incident not the person as per policy, also). Category:Massacres in New Zealand adequately covers these articles toghether with Category:Murder in New Zealand dramatic (talk) 22:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note:This discussion has been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/New_Zealand#Categories dramatic (talk) 22:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all. Despite their small size, they are all individual NZ parts of overall classification schemes of these people by nationality and thus fit into the overall Category:Crime by country scheme. After merging of any articles, simply speedily delete as empty any category that goes unused for 4+ days. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Muhajir

Category:Muhajir Template:Lc1
Category:Muhajir (Pakistan)Template:Lc1
Category:Caucasian muhajirs Template:Lc1

Delete all (renaming is possible but of doubtful utility).

Nominator's rationale: I initially thought these categories could simply be renamed, replacing the unfamiliar Arabic term with an English term such as "Islamic refugees". However, after reading up on the subject and looking at how these categories are being used, I concluded that we are better off just deleting them. The problem is that "muhajir" is a highly ambiguous term, encompassing both "refugee" and "emigrant". This makes it fundamentally unsuitable for use in the Wikipedia category system. Even though these are part of the Category:Refugees tree, much of the contents has nothing whatsoever to do with refugees. To the extent that a navigational hub is considered desirable, that issue is already thoroughly addressed in the main article, Muhajir. In short, I don't think these categories can be salvaged, and I don't believe there's any real need for them in any case. Notified category creators with {{subst:cfd-notify}} Cgingold (talk) 21:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete categories for descendents of people displaced by all sorts of international convulsions is unwise; (a) they are hard to identify reliably; (b) must they be full-blood descent or may products of mixed parentage fit in; (c) how far back do we go - Category:Descendents of refugees from the Roman invasion of Britain - (d) the articles can contain a list of any notables associated with the events causing them to be refugees, and (e) for some peoples, nearly the entirety are refugees from something/somewhere: Israel, Palestine, and many immigrants to the US, we don't need thousands of categories of displaced people. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't know much about the Caucasus, but in Pakistan this is a huge thing, very easily defined, and not at all ethnic as Carlos suggests. We have loads of categories for Jews and others displaced by the Nazis some years earlier than these, so I'm not convinced by that argument. Johnbod (talk) 00:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So then, you're saying keep Category:Muhajir (Pakistan), though not as an ethnic group? Could you elaborate? Also, do you have an opinion on the parent cat? Even if we keep the sub-cat for Pakistan, Category:Muhajir is awfully problematic. Cgingold (talk) 02:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On consideration, Merge contents of Category:Muhajir to Category:Muhajir (Pakistan), as all 197 seem to be Pakistani - I have removed the anomalous A. R. Cornelius, an Anglo-Indian Pakistani, in Lahore before Partition. The category would then just have the two subcats, which seems ok to me, although as I say I don't know much about the Caucasian people. Note Category:Muhajir (Pakistan) is not categorised as an ethnic group, rightly so. No doubt they are slightly different as a genetic group from the pre-partition populations, but that is not what it is about. They still have riots between Muhajirs and non-Muhajirs evey so often, and much of Pakistani politics is about the different populations. It is defining for a Pakistani, even from a younger generation. Johnbod (talk) 02:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strange that all of those Pakistanis were placed (or left, as the case may be) in the main category, when the Pakistan sub-cat was available. There does appear to be a valid rationale for this particular category -- although, I think it needs renaming, either to Category:Muhajirs (Pakistan) or to Category:Pakistani Muhajirs. Also, we need to decide on appropriate parent categories. This group consists of people who were originally refugees, along with their descendants. Does this category belong in any of the following category trees, none of which have sub-cats for Pakistan?: Category:Immigrants by destination country, Category:Naturalized citizens by nation, Category:Indian diaspora by country. And lastly, based on a small random sample, there seems to be a bit of a problem in terms of lack of confirmatory material in at least some of the articles. Somebody really needs to go through all of them to check on that, and remove any that can't be verified. Cgingold (talk) 03:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anarchists by nationality

Propose renaming Category:Anarchists by nationality to Category:Anarchists by location

Propose renaming Category:Christian anarchists by nationality to Category:Christian anarchists by location

Nominator's rationale: Rename. No anarchist has a "nationality". Anarchists inherently do not believe in government, and tend to consider themselves citizens of the world. 199.125.109.99 (talk) 17:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have taken the liberty of merging these into one CFD in order to consolidate the discussion. Cgingold (talk) 22:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Anarchyfd Respondents are also recommended to read our article on anarchism and nationalism. Skomorokh 18:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all to Category:Anarchists from planet Earth which makes as much sense as this proposal. IOW, Oppose on the basis of giving undue weight to the notion that "anarchists have no nationality" and on WP:NPOV grounds. Additionally, "by location" is far to vague to be encyclopedically useful. Otto4711 (talk) 21:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose:~~ Although I fully agree with you on the sentiment of the matter, this is a larger question of how would a researcher look for categorized anarchists, and how would we be able to best specify categories. "Location" is very vague. Are we referring to anarchists by city? Bio-region? Will we get an "anarchists of the South-East Caribbean Islands" (as opposed to the north-west ones.) We've already got a category for anarchist movements by region, of which anarchist movements by country is a sub-category. This made sense, because anarchist movements have been known to be at times specific to a general location within, or transcending the boarders of, a nation-state. However, individuals are not bound to a location. They freely move around. The best way to categorize them becomes one of national background, as nations generally don't go away often (as much as anarchists would like, anyway). Further, these categorizations do not necessarily mean that they support nationalism. It's more a question of origin, and could easily refer instead to cultural background. Some hypothetical anarchist could go into exile and spend years moving around; however, because they are of origin – lets say, French – this particular anarchist is an anti-nationalist living in Mexico, or Germany, or Australia, and yet this person remains a culturally French anarchist of French origin.--Cast (talk) 19:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support alternate version: I support an alternate name change to "country of origin" or such, per alternate proposals below. I still don't like "location" though.--Cast (talk) 23:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you have to decide how to categorize someone - is Craig Ferguson an American or is he Scottish? Or both? If anyone wants to create a meaningful category for anarchists from a city or part of a city they certainly can do so, but since anarchists do not believe in nationality, they certainly would not want to be told that they were in a category called "anarchists by nationality". The suggestion of calling them all "Anarchists from planet Earth" is not helpful, since I'm not sure there are any from any other planets at the present time. I have no problem with saying that someone is an Italian anarchist as long as everyone understands that Italy refers to a location and not to a nation state, which is what would be clarified if the encompassing category was called "anarchists by location" instead of "anarchists by nationality". 199.125.109.99 (talk) 21:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate proposal: Taking account of both the wishes of anarchists and the requirements of our Category system, renaming to Category:Anarchists by country of birth and Category:Christian anarchists by country of birth should address all relevant concerns. I don't see any reason that even the most devout anarchist would take issue with the notion of "country of birth"; at the same time, that term translates very easily to "nationality", so the category will fit very nicely in the super-cat structure of "people by nationality". Cgingold (talk) 22:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support alternate version as it does not detract from Wikipedia's taxonomy nor does it deceive the reader as to the "nationality of anarchists". Suggest changing wording to Category:Anarchists by country of origin or even "nation of origin" though, as place of birth is somewhat trivial. Skomorokh 22:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anarchists by nation of origin would be fine, too. I will go along with the concensus as to which of these alternate terms is preferred. Cgingold (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Country is a less offensive word than nation. Location is far better though. These are people who recognize that there are lines on the map but like the lines on ones hand it is the whole hand and the entire land that is important, not the lines. Origin or birth are not important to include in the definition. For example, someone who moves to Italy at age 20 and spends all their life there would probably be identified with Italy regardless of where they were born or raised. 199.125.109.99 (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This would be a bad precedent to set. Next we'd have a complaint about Category:Jehovah's Witnesses by nationality; then we'd get complaints about individuals articles being included in a nationality category because that particular individual feels they are a citizen of the earth. The alternate proposals could work, but for the sake of consistency I don't think it's worth it. (Full disclosure: I created Category:Christian anarchists by nationality and subdivided them as such.) Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's not about an individual's self-identity, it's about what it is accurate to identify them as (per V, WEIGHT etc.). A category is useless (in fact, barred from being used) unless it is a defining characteristic of the topic. So if it were the case that few or no anarchists were defined by their nationality, Wikipedia would be actively misleading readers. To correct that is a precedent we should gladly set. So the issue here is to what extent nationality is an accurate and defining characteristics of anarchists. I would say to very little if any extent, apart from those brave few National Anarchism pioneers. Skomorokh 23:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, but I believe anarchists, like any other activists or people involved in political matters, are defined by their nationality, whether they like it or not. It's also part of an overall classification scheme of people by nationality and political orientation. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose We shouldn't care what these people believe they do or don't have vis-a-vis nationality. We have lots of categories describing people in NPOV terms rather than their own, otherwise we'd have categories Category:Freedom fighters, Category:Saviors, Category:People who cannot be taxed and such others... Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for weighing in, Carlos. Please read my comment above: the issue is not self-identification. Skomorokh 23:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't have strong personal feelings about the name of these categories -- I could live with the current name, or with one of the alternate names. I offered an alternate proposal in the spirit of making a slight accomodation to the feelings/wishes of anarchists. Though it's not entirely analagous, what I had in mind was the sort of accomodation that has been made in the categories for "Pro-life" activists -- which I feel is a self-serving term, while "anti-abortion" is simple, straight-forward and factually accurate. Nonetheless, this accomodation was made (I haven't looked, but I'm sure there was a lengthy and contentious discussion involved). So that's where I'm coming from. Again, I will go along with whatever concensus emerges here. Cgingold (talk) 03:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Judds

Category:The Judds - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization per WP:OCAT. Each of these pages is interlinked, and does not need a category of its own. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Assault on Precinct 13

Category:Assault on Precinct 13 - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization per WP:OVERCAT Lugnuts (talk) 17:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - serving as a de facto Category:Assault on Precinct 13 actors category which is overcategorization of performer by performance. The two film articles should be linked by either a see also section or a dab note (or both) and the category is not warranted. Otto4711 (talk) 18:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Russian and Soviet film directors

Propose renaming Category:Russian and Soviet film directors to Category:Soviet film directors

Nominator's rationale: most if not all listed here now are Soviet era directors and not all are Russian. rename then check to see that none are post-Soviet era Russian (I m willing to do this), which belong to Category:Russian film directors (this one lists/should list both Soviet era Russian ethnic and post-Soviet Russian national film directors) Mayumashu (talk) 16:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. And for info, see this. Lugnuts (talk) 17:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:BBC Young Musician of the Year

Category:BBC Young Musician of the Year - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete - The featured article BBC Young Musician of the Year does a perfect job as a navigational hub for this award. The category is unnecessary overcategorization by award. Otto4711 (talk) 15:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Caucasian languages

Propose renaming Category:Caucasian languages to Category:Languages of the Caucasus

Nominator's rationale: "Caucasian languages" sounds like a name of a language family, which it isn't. There are proposals and theories that unify Northeastern, Northwesterm and Southern (Kartvelian) families into one super-family, but there's no agreement among linguists that such a unification is scientifically correct. There is, however, rationale for categorizing the languages of the Caucasus, as this is an area with a unique linguistic situation, and it justifies inclusion in Category:Languages by geographical region, but i propose to rename this category, so it will show that it is more geographical than linguistic. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename: per nom. Already thought of doing this myself. — N-true (talk) 15:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename: If you're going to include Armenian and Azerbaijani, for example, renaming is appropriate as "Caucasian languages" implies only those languages within the traditional classifications "Caucasian", viz., Kartvelian, Northwest, Northeast, North-Central Caucasian genetic groups. (Taivo (talk) 18:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Rename per all. Johnbod (talk) 19:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom to eliminate ambiguity. Cgingold (talk) 20:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Indigenous languages of the Caucasus, otherwise expect Azeri, Armenian, Farsi, Russian, Turkish, and others to be (properly) included as spoken in the Caucasus by significant numbers. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disambig-Class XXX pages

Propose renaming all of the following Disambig-Class pages categories to articles:

Nominator's rationale: Most other disambig-class categories end in articles, not pages, and works easier with certain templates. MrKIA11 (talk) 14:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename A look at Category:Disambig-Class articles shows that 299ish of 311 are already in this format. --Gwguffey (talk) 14:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - While not "articles", disambigious pages are in article namespace. Also, see Category:Disamb-Class aviation articles. However, Wikipedia:Disambiguation specifically refers to them as "pages" (not articles) and identifies them as non-articles. Further Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) calls them disambiguation pages, not disambiguation articles. GregManninLB (talk) 16:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I also think that pages is better, but unless we get a bot to change all of the current categories, I think it would be better for all of them to be the same. MrKIA11 (talk) 16:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Category renames have bots to do the work. So the amount of work needed is never an issue in making the right consensus choice. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Qazis

Propose renaming Category:Qazis to Category:Qadis

Nominator's rationale: Rename for consistency with main article Qadi. (As a transliteration, the word may also be spelled "Qazi", thus not a spelling "error" fix that can be speedied.) Notified creator with {{subst:cfd-notify}} Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 05:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom.--Lenticel ^(talk) 06:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rename I'm not so sure about this. Qadi is Arabic for judge, and used for secular judges in most of the Arab world, plus Turkey & other places, it seems. I'd prefer Rename to Category:Sharia judges, or "Islamic judges" as less ambiguous, clearer for many users, plus sidestepping the spelling issue. The great majority of the articles seem to cover Qadis from countries like Iran and Pakistan where the sharia judges share or dominate the state judicial system, and most seem undercategorised in this respect. I think Johnbod (talk) 11:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rename - I'm fundamentally in agreement with Johnbod on this. Few readers will have any idea what either Qazi or Qadi means -- Category:Sharia judges looks pretty good to me. (And if I'm not mistaken, the plural isn't formed by adding an "s" in any event! :) It's much better to use clear English terms when ever possible, rather than obscure terms of whatever derivation. This reminds me, there's another similar category that also needs renaming -- Category:Muhajir (I'll take care of that shortly). Cgingold (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (nominator). I like the Category:Sharia judges idea and think it fits well with the articles currently in the category. I agree that when possible, English-equivalent terms should be used for these Arabic terms. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

more ethnicity Cat pages for people

Propose renaming

Nominator's rationale: ethnic group, name 'Fooian people' for consistency (see Category:People by race or ethnicity)Mayumashu (talk)

Rename both: Chuvashs is very hard to read, and in any case consistency in Category:People by race or ethnicity is a Good Thing. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:54, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unnecessary race/ethnicity categories. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
rename both per the standard of what already exists around it. Hmains (talk) 03:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Military Pay

Propose renaming Category:Military Pay to Category:Military pay and benefits

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Broaden scope of category to include remuneration in kind as well as salary. For example to cover such benefits as access to Base exchange for the US military, and the similar British equivalent Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes and the Australian Defence scheme DefCom Australia. I am sure there are numerous other examples from other military Matilda ^talk 03:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Attractions in New London County, Connecticut to Category:Visitor attractions in New London County, Connecticut

Category:Attractions in Tolland County, Connecticut to Category:Visitor attractions in Tolland County, Connecticut

Rename per nom. Johnbod (talk) 03:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:24 articles consisting mainly of plot information

Propose renaming Category:24 articles consisting mainly of plot information to Category:UNKNOWN

Nominator's rationale: Rename at the very least. I've no idea what this should be renamed to, but the current name is clearly not of WP standard. This looks more like it should be a list on a WikiProject subpage than a category. Grutness...wha? 02:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note Category is not tagged. Johnbod (talk) 03:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Category was tagged - tag was removed by the category's creator. It has been restored. Grutness...wha? 07:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Appears to be a project tag, so should go on talk page, no? All are in the main 24 characters category. Johnbod (talk) 03:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Could well be a WikiProject category, but surely if it was it would mention that somewhere in the category header, or have a WikiProject category as a parent category, neither of which it does. Even if it is, given that all the other categories are named with "24 (TV series)", this one should be too - I'd suggest that possibly something like Category:24 (TV series) articles needing expert attention as a hidden category would be a far more reasonable name if that is the case. And if it is a WikiProject category it should also be named as such. The current name is a poor one for a permanent navigation category, which at the moment the name seems to indicate it is. Grutness...wha? 07:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Move to talk page as fix-up, project page - if the project still wants this. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I left a note at the 24 project (clock counting down at 20 hours to go) as I'm not sure how "official" this tag is. I expect they're busy shooting at each other. Johnbod (talk) 00:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: - the creator of this has also pointed me to Category:24 articles containing trivia sections, which similarly needs renaming at least, and which I hyave also tagged. Perhaps the best solution might be to merge the two into one, using the Category:24 (TV series) articles needing expert attention title I suggested before. Any specifics as to what attention is needed should be fairly obvious from the articles, and if not, a comment on the article's should be enough to clarify things. Grutness...wha? 01:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, expert attention, no. A similar title, yes, but not expert attention. How about something along the lines of Category:24 (TV series) articles requiring general cleanup? I'm not overly sure. However, if the categories are changed, please let me know. I'm not overly fussed, I just wasn't aware of the category naming conventions. Just don't delete them. :) Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 01:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I could certainly live with that name (Steve, BTW, is the originator of the first-nominated category and coordinator of WP24). Grutness...wha? 01:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, is there any chance the sub categories can be kept in some way? I'm open to opinion as to what the titles should be, but as I mentioned on the nominators talk page, merging 2 categories into one could break a few templates I've made. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 01:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it was a project cat on the talk page, I see no harm in the more specific name. Rename to Category:Wikiproject 24 articles consisting mainly of plot information or whatever? All the relevant experts are surely in the project already. Johnbod (talk) 03:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thats correct, most of the "experts" are either in the project or closely work with the project. How about, Category:Wikiproject 24-Articles mainly consisting of plot information and Category:Wikiproject 24-Articles containing trivia sections ? That alright?
