February 17

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Czech cosmonauts

Nominator's rationale: Since the "Czech" part of this category refers to the nationality and not the ethnicity, it would be more accurately placed at "Czechoslovak", much as the Russian people are in the "Soviet" category, as referred to the nation at the time of the individuals being cosmonauts. C679 11:18, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Interim and Acting Presidents of Israel

Nominator's rationale: According to Israeli law, the Speaker of the Knesset acts automatically as interim or acting president when the presidency is vacant or the president is abroad. When the speaker is abroad while being acting president one of the deputies acts as president. basically this is part of the speaker's job definition, and has been practiced several times (Katsav fiasco was long so it was noticable). No real category here. DGtal (talk) 10:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cold-water aquarium fish

Nominator's rationale: That some members of a species have been kept in an aquarium is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic of the species (e.g. see CFD for pets). Some of the articles (e.g. Stickleback) make no mention of aquariums). Could upmerge to Category:Cold water fish, but I'm not sure that these belong in that category (which is under Category:Edible fish). For info: The Coldwater fish article contains much more comprehensive lists. DexDor (talk) 06:52, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:RSPB Medallists

Nominator's rationale: Having received this medal is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic of its recipients (see WP:OC#AWARD). The articles in this category are in more appropriate categories (e.g. Category:British ornithologists). For info: There is a partial list at Royal Society for the Protection_of_Birds#RSPB_Medal. For info: An example of a previous similar CFD is Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_November_24#Category:British_Trust_for_Ornithology_medallists. DexDor (talk) 06:44, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Musicial groups from Shizuoka Prefecture

Nominator's rationale: spelling mistake; asked in my user talk page as a page move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:07, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Musicians from Okinawa

Nominator's rationale: asked in my user talk page as a page move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:07, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Musical groups from Okinawa

Nominator's rationale: asked in my user talk page as a page move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:07, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Medal of Honor Recipients from Virginia

Nominator's rationale: as an irrelevant intersection per WP:OC#TRIVIA. The award has nothing to with a person's state.
There is no other by-state subcat of Category:Recipients of the Medal of Honor.
A similar category for California was deleted at CFD 2012 January 9. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:22, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Members of the Archivists Roundtable of Metropolitan New York

Nominator's rationale: The organisation does exist (Archivists Roundtable of Metropolitan New York does not exist, but see http://www.nycarchivists.org/), but I see no evidence that membership of it is a WP:DEFINING characteristic of its members.
The organisation gets 23 hits on Google Books. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:52, 17 February 2014 (UTC) BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:52, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Indian pure aristocracy

Nominator's rationale: I can't figure out what this category is for, or why it includes the word "pure", which is not mentioned in the head article Khukhrain. Unless someone can clarify the purpose and scope of this unparented category, it should be deleted. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:44, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Foreign Members of the Cambridge Astronomical Society

Nominator's rationale: Not WP:DEFINING.
We have no article or part article on the Cambridge Astronomical Society, which appears to get only a few hits in other articles such as Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge#Telescopes, which mentions a Cambridge University Astronomical Society (CUAS) and Cambridge Astronomical Association (CAA).

I don't see any reason to assume that there is anything defining about being a foreign member of an organisation whose name is unclear and whose non-foreign members are not categorised. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:26, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chiropractors who are Olympians

Nominator's rationale: Irrelevant intersection. I can guess that being involved in high-level sports might stimulate an interest in repairing bodies, but it could also stimulate an interest in many other things. There is no Category:Olympic competitors by occupation, no Category:Olympic competitors who are physicians, etc. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, point taken. Go ahead and remove it. Д-рСДжП,ДС

Category:British India civil servants

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category, so merge and redirect. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:05, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Prisoners of conscience in Azerbaijan

Nominator's rationale: Prisoner of conscience is a POV term, which per WP:LABEL and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV should be used only if attributed. We therefore had a Category:Amnesty International prisoners of conscience, but not an unattributed Category:Prisoners of conscience. There are 2 articles in the category: only one (Rashad Hasanov) is asserted to have been designated by Amnesty International as a PoC, and he is already in Category:Amnesty International prisoners of conscience. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bronze Age palaces in Israel

Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Only 2 articles for now, and as AFAIK, there aren't many more sites in Israel which could fit this narrow intersection. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:32, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Intergovernmental Universities

Nominator's rationale: This category is for "Institutions of higher education established under international law, by intergovernmental organisations or by treaty." The current title does not describe the full scope, and is probably misleading in the case of the United Nations University ... but I can't think of a better title. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cartoonists Club of India

Nominator's rationale: Appears to be a category for members of the Cartoonists Club of India http://www.cartoonistsclubofindia.com/, which does not have a Wikipedia article. I see no evidence that membership of the club is a WP:DEFINING characteristic of its members. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:07, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Doctor of Arts Programs in the United States

Nominator's rationale: appears to be a misplaced addendum to the head article Doctor of Arts. It contains no articles about Doctor of Arts Programs. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Imperial Tobacco European brands

Nominator's rationale: parent category is not big enough to need splitting by continent. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:01, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Formerly a J.P. Morgan Company

Nominator's rationale: per WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE. This category is described as being for "companies Financed and/or controlled by entities controlled by J.P. Morgan". How much finance and/or how much control? BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Islamic religious leaders Mozadded

Nominator's rationale: I can't see what this category is supposed to be for. It's only content is the article Islamic religious leaders, which is already in Category:Islamic religious leaders. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:55, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of Soviet animation

Nominator's rationale: Split. This category is a strange collection of animators, animation directors, and films. The parent Category:History of animation (which I just added) consists of articles about the history, whereas this just seems to replicate the whole of Category:Soviet animation. Rather than combining people and films inj one category, it would be better to use the two existing categories and create a new Category:Soviet animation directors for the directors. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pranab Mukherjee

Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Eponymous category for the current President of India, Pranab Mukherjee. Currently contains only 1 article, and I have not been able to identify any more which belong there apart from Mukerjee himself. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:01, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Albums produced by "Weird Al" Yankovic

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. He hasn't produced anything but his own albums, and he is not known primarily as a producer. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:40, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
