June 1

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Alpha CVn-type variables

Category:Alpha CVn-type variables - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: User:CarloscomB claims this is a stub-type category, but the stub template does not populate this category, nor would I expect the contents of this category to necessarily be stubs. 70.55.86.37 (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Eclipsing binary of Algol type

Suggest merging Category:Eclipsing binary of Algol type to Category:Algol variables

Nominator's rationale: Merge, Another User:CarloscomB category requiring cleanup. This time, it replicates an existing category. 70.55.86.37 (talk) 14:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:RS CVn variables

Suggest merging Category:RS CVn variables to Category:RS Canum Venaticorum variables

Nominator's rationale: Merge, Another User:CarloscomB category requiring cleanup. This time, it replicates an existing category. When created, it claimed to be a stub-type category, and claimed to be populated by a stub template that didn't use it. 70.55.86.37 (talk) 14:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:QSO objects

Category:QSO objects - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: QSO object makes no sense, "Quasi-Stellar Object objects"? Further, QSO is shorthand for Quasar, and we already have Category:Quasars, so this is redundant. 70.55.86.37 (talk) 14:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Emission-line Star

Category:Emission-line Star - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: All stars have emission lines. This category makes no sense. Further, it was created as a "stub-type" category, which it is patently _not_. 70.55.86.37 (talk) 13:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ancient Trojans

Category:Ancient Trojans - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Only four members which are all members of parent Category:Trojans. As it isn't name of current inhabitated place all Trojans are ancient. Other parent category irrelevant as Trojans were not Greeks.Peter cohen (talk) 11:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC) Later: This is a Merge proposal--Peter cohen (talk) 13:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per what nom presumably intended to propose. Johnbod (talk) 11:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It was my first proposal. Maybe next time I'll get it right. I had intended delete but I can see that merge is safer as someoen might add a new member while we're discussing this--Peter cohen (talk) 13:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry, Peter, you did allright for a first go at CFD. The important thing is that you identified the problem correctly. Cgingold (talk) 13:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom.--Lenticel ^(talk) 12:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Johnbod, as long as there are no horses among them. Cgingold (talk) 12:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Price Is Right

Nominator's rationale: These Price Is Right categories are proposing for renaming. The proper title was a capital "I" for "Is", not a small "i". The correct proper rename is "The Price Is Right". Those two categories has to be renamed to match those main articles for correcting the proper title. Steam5 (talk) 05:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename - Steam5 is correct, the show does use a capital "I" in its title. 64.118.116.234 (talk) 08:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom - I think these could be Speedied as corrections of spelling errors. Cgingold (talk) 09:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Tee "I of "is" should be categorised as it is a significant word in a title.--Peter cohen (talk) 11:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom.--Lenticel ^(talk) 12:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Middle-earth calendars

Category:Middle-earth calendars - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: This category has only one article in it, so it is not needed, as we do not retain empty categories. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought we had this discussion last month? Though I don't know if anyone got round to implementing what was discussed there? Carcharoth (talk) 05:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Middle-earth. Small category with little or no growth potential, housing in the main nothing but redirects. No need to split this off from the parent. Otto4711 (talk) 13:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to Category:Middle-earth and Category:Fictional calendars. (I don't think this one was discussed recently.) -- roundhouse0 (talk) 14:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
