NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Brian Smith (administrator)

Nominator's rationale: The revised name better reflects Brian Smith's profession 86.183.158.221 (talk) 16:47, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional LGBT characters in radio

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT whose name is not an accurate or defining reflection of its contents. "Fictional X in radio" would refer to characters in radio comedy or drama programs -- but the one entry here is a song, not scripted radio fiction. The song is already filed in Category:LGBT-related songs as it is, so categorizing it as "radio" isn't adding any noteworthy or defining context that isn't already covered off by existing categories.

Category:Crimes related to the European migrant crisis

Nominator's rationale: This recently created category raises a number of concerns. Firstly, though not most importantly, some of these are 'alleged' crimes - plots etc that never went to court. Secondly, any relationship to the 'European migrant crisis' is often tenuous - often being only related in that the perp - or alleged perp - is a refugee or migrant, or the child of one. This leads to my main concern - the category is de facto - crimes committed (or alleged against) - a specific demographic group (migrants - or European born children of migrants). Is this something we do? Do we have 'murders commited by black men' or 'frauds committed by Jews' as categories? Thoughts Pincrete (talk) 15:21, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the category contains both attacks on migrants who arrived during the crisis and Attacks by such migrants. And Note that the perpetrators number both Christians (eg. 2015 IKEA stabbing attack and Jews.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:30, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)I was about to add that there is at least one article about attacks against migrants. Who mentioned religion? Migrants or their children are still a demographic group regardless of that.Pincrete (talk) 15:34, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There have been European migrant crises for hundreds if not thousands of years. For this category to work, there would have to be some kind of cut-off date and the connection between the crime and the "crisis" would have to be proved. As an illustration of what I mean, does Expulsion of the Jews from Sicily belong in this category? And if not, why not? Deb (talk) 15:36, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would add that these crimes don't belong in the "European migrant crisis" category either. Deb (talk) 15:38, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Massachusetts Registered Historic Place stubs

Nominator's rationale: A group of dedicated editors have raised all previously tagged articles to at least start level. Categories empty. Propose deleting categories. Keep templates, but upmerge to Category:Massachusetts Registered Historic Place stubs. Dawynn (talk) 12:59, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category: Marine fauna of Australia

Nominator's rationale: The category exclusively contains fish ; a parent category "Marine fauna of Australia" can later be added, once other daughter categories are created (e.g. "*marine ?* Crustaceans of Australia" etc.). --Couiros22 (talk) 12:47, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ludvík Svoboda

Nominator's rationale: This category does not seem to pass WP:OCEPON criteria. The category of this general and President of Czechoslovakia currently contains articles relative to military units, battles, "elections" where he was an actor, and a film about a battle he fought (not about him). None of these are specific to him. Place Clichy (talk) 09:41, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Train operating companies

Nominator's rationale: Make the scope clearer. All entries are in the UK. Rathfelder (talk) 08:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Third-person open world games

Nominator's rationale: This category just seems to be pointless. We’ve already got a Category for all Open world games, so why make a specific one just for the third person games. Plus, what about the games that can be played in both first and third person? Dohvahkiin (talk) 11:55, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
