October 23
NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Marvel Comics villains, non-superpowered
- Merge into Category:Marvel Comics villains, see related discussion. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:Templates
- Redirect to Category:Wikipedia templates, to help people find it. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:Ancestors of President Bush
- Merge into Category:Bush family, duplicate since ancestors are family. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per nom Dugwiki 16:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:Breton Composer
To match the wikipedia naming conventions, I think it should be renamed to Category:Breton composers while it is still fairly new. I have also notified the author on their talk page to do so. Cheers, BNutzer 14:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy rename, and now tagged as such. Note it wasn't tagged for rename. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Ngayarda language categories
Delete: These two categories are based on an outdated classification (that unfortunately is still followed by Ethnologue). So long as people use up-to-date sources when writing articles, nobody is going to put anything in these categories. --Ptcamn 13:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:Places in Lancashire
Category:Places in Lancashire to Category:Geography of Lancashire
- Rename, so that physical features sit more naturally in the category. Many other English counties already have a "geography of..." category. Hanbrook 12:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as a sub-category of Category:Geography of Lancashire, which I've just created. I've been putting 'Places in' categories within the county geog categories I've been creating (eg Category:Places in Cheshire), rather than renaming them as geography, since geog is more than just the towns/places in a county. User|Neddyseagoon 15:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:Thursday Next series
Category:Thursday Next series to Category:Thursday Next novels
Category:United States Representatives from Oklahoma
Category:United States Representatives from Oklahoma into Category:Members of the United States House of Representatives from Oklahoma
- Merge, Redundant. "Members" conforms with all other states. —Markles 10:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:List Blasians
Category:List Blasians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete. Empty category; category page is a copy of the article List of Blasians. Appears to be a wrong-headed attempt to re-create deleted Category:Blasians. --Paul A 07:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Category:Actresses by nationality
- Delete, per policy against gender based categories. -- ProveIt (talk) 07:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete and Merge into Category:Actors by nationality per nom, "actors" covers both men and women. Dugwiki 16:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Because the policy is frankly dumb and inconsistent. We have Category:Women scientists, Category:Women writers, and Category:Women lawyers. Acting, unlike most of these, actually tends to separate by gender. Oscars are given to "Best Actor" and "Best Actresses" as are Emmies, etc. And although it's nice to think so "actor" in most peoples minds means men.--T. Anthony 16:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Still for consistency possibly it should be renamed "Female actors by nationality."--T. Anthony 16:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Actresses
