September 27

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Mayor's Committee on Receptions to Distinguished Guests

Propose renaming Category:Mayor's Committee on Receptions to Distinguished Guests to Category:Chairmen of the Mayor's Committee on Receptions to Distinguished Guests
Nominator's rationale: Rename to reflect the actual content of the category. Note that deletion or upmerging to Category:New York City public officials is also an option since the article is basically a list and since, as far as I can tell, this position has never made anyone notable. In particular, all three biographies omit this info from the lead which would tend to show that it's not a defining characteristic. Pichpich (talk) 14:07, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Categories: Computer science departments in Great Britain & Computer science institutes in Great Britain

Propose renaming Category: Computer science departments in Great Britain to Category:Computer science departments in the United Kingdom
Nominator's rationale: the United Kingdom is the usual term, other than for a few mainly historical categories Hugo999 (talk) 06:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. Both these are rather bizarre: is a "Computer science department" also a "Computer science institute"? And Category:Computer science departments is not otherwise subcatted by country. GB is very bizarre. Occuli (talk) 10:05, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pulmonary function

Propose renaming Category:Pulmonary function to Category:Pulmonary function testing
Nominator's rationale: Rename This is actually a textbook case of speedy renaming since the corresponding article is Pulmonary function testing. However, I'd like to have some input on the relevance of this category. I'm not convinced it's worth keeping. Pichpich (talk) 01:21, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support I could agree with renaming, and you're probably right about its relevance. As a category, its relevant but it would only have at most, 20 articles in it; so it might be better to make this a sub-category of the Category:Respiratory therapy? Je.rrt (talk) 03:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Respiratory science and research as a replacement category would be good. Considering Respiratory Science is regarded as the term internationally as descriptive of the entire scope of pulmonary function testing and research, as a sub-category of respiratory therapy/respiratory care.

Category:CBS slogans

Category:CBS slogans - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Only one entry, and the entry is a song, not an article about a slogan. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 00:37, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Sole entry is improperly categorized and it's not at all clear that there will ever be anything else placed in there. Even if we changed the category's name to get a wider scope (say CBS slogans and jingles or CBS promotional material) I would still feel that it's not appropriate to consider it a defining characteristic of Get Ready which charted a gazillion times for a gazillion artists, or so it feels, in the 30 years between its first release and the CBS campaign.

  • Delete – silly idea. Occuli (talk) 10:07, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
