Keep we just decided to keep Category:Actresses by nationality. There is no goood reason to even discuss this category without discussing its sister categories. This one category nomination is highly irregular. Beyond that there are awards giving for best actress and best supporting actress. Acting is a gendered profession and men and women in general fill different roles. The fact that Category:Canadian actresses and several other categories were just kept at the end of the CfD and the fact that there is still open a discussion on the matter which is clearly treanding towards keeping such categories makes this nomination very odd indeed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can foresee edit wars and lengthy discussions over who is an actor and who is an actress. I can assure you that I know actors who would bristle at the thought of labeling her an "actress". To quote one, "they don't call female doctors 'doctresses'!" So please avoid this can of worms. Wikipedia has survived fine without this category for umpteen years so far. It will survive into the future without it. Also, delete related categories for uniform appearance. Elizium23 (talk) 01:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So change the name to Female Actors. The term "actress" becomes more inappropriate every day. And where do you put Transgender/gender queer actors? 67.1.24.33 (talk) 16:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as consensus has clearly changed. As far as the naming, that should await conclusino of the above linked village pump discussion. --Qetuth (talk) 06:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fictional gunfighters and sword fighters have already been deleted. These type of categories are just too general. JDDJS (talk) 17:49, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Very ambiguous current title and description. Based on the contents the best use for this category would be to correspond with Creed, which defines a creed as a religious statement of belief. -- JFHutson (talk) 16:56, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Don't rename—current name is just fine for the contents. The suggestion by the nom that a statement on religious diversity is a creed demonstrates a lack of understanding of just what a creed is. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In an ongoing movement amongst articles on Canadian places, the province name has been removed from the title of the article where it is not necessary to disambiguate. All of Alberta's cities have been subject to this scrutiny, and many of its towns as well, it is about time that a specialized municipality with a larger population than most of Alberta's cities sees it as well. Like the ones in Category:Cities in Alberta, I see no reason to keep the "Alberta" in the category name either. 117Avenue (talk) 05:15, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:Delete the category Category:Rape victims was deleted more than five years ago (see here) but I suppose consensus can change. However, I still find the arguments for deletion compelling and even more so in the present case. The core concerns are that this category poses basic BLP and ethics problems without providing much encyclopedic value and that the category system is unable to deal with the fact that terms such as "rape" and "gang rape" have different meanings in different cultures and even more markedly different legal meanings in different countries.

Support This is a very subjective category, and I would have to agree with the logic behind the 2007 close as well. Also, if the "parent" category, per se, was deleted, than there is no reason that this one should be here as well. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:29, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete consistent with the prior decision. Note: we have made a conscious decision to delete something that may well be defining to those so categorized, but general principals prevail. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete First off labeling people as "victims" does not sound good. Secondly, we have the issue of deciding whether we allow people to self-identify, or require some sort of exterior verification. Thirdly, I am not sure there is any clear definition of "gang rape" as opposed to just "rape". We just plain do not need this category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:18, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: So, I just ran into this category today, and I finally decided to take action on whether or not we need this category, or should it be renamed to "Facilities of the United States Air Force realigned under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission." This is because everything BRAC-related has been finished, and it makes little sense to keep a category in the future tense, when it is a past action. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:34, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
delete In a quick sample of about ten articles, I found that all but a few of them didn't mention BRAC at all, so it isn't clear that the resulting category would contain much. Also, "realign" seems to be bureaucratese for "move units around and close some bases." The fact is that you can look at any of these articles and see that realignment is a constant feature of the history of every base, so while I would agree that BRAC itself is notable, it's not a defining characteristic except possibly for the bases which were closed on its recommendations.

Nominator's rationale: Main article is titled Fujian Province, Republic of China, and "Fujian, Taiwan" is extremely POV/contentious otherwise as Kinmen residents do not consider themselves Taiwanese and the proper name of the state is the Republic of China. In terms of using "of" versus "in", all other non-fictitious island categories use "of". GotRTalk00:03, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
