Comment - bad category, per Bakaman. I'd be tempted to put up for deletion. Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 08:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename It is better not to have these categories directly in Category:History of Pakistan. Most national history categories contain articles relating to before the current state existed. Osomec 14:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - The idea did not exist before 1930's. There is no Pakistani ethnic group to populate Pakistan, and the area that is present-day Pakistan is quoted by countless (infinite) reliable sources as India before it was forcibly carved out from India.Bakaman _Bakatalk 07:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - baka is right. the country didn't exist--D-Boy 23:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename Baka seems to miss the point that very few modern countries have existed for more than a fraction of recorded history, so Pakistan is not remarkable in this regard. But every major national history category is full of material from before the present state existed in any case as it is the most convenient way to organise the material. Wimstead 00:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no history in Pakistan (pre-1930's) that does not overlap with India. Therefore Ancient Pakistan is illogical. There is no Pakistani ethnic group, see above comment.Baka man 22:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted from 18th November in the hope of generating more discussion. I didn't want to close it "no consensus" with only two conflicting contributions, both of which were agreed that the current name is unsatisfactory. So do we rename, please? And if so, what to? --RobertG ♬ talk 17:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Most of these events are sanctioned by one of the professional golf tours that sanction the "official" events. The distinction is that the prize money does not count towards the relevant tour's official money list or order of merit. Hoylake 00:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename but there's got to be a more elegant alternative than unofficial money golf tournaments. My first reaction to the proposed title was "What the hell is unofficial money?". Maybe I'm just dense! Pascal.Tesson 05:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In relisting the debate I feel duty bound to suggest something. It's a tricky one. How about rename to Category:Golf tournaments with unofficial prizemoney, or Categeory:Non-tour professional golf tournaments? I agree with Pascal that including "unofficial money" would not be desirable. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. The alternative proposals are worse. Category:Golf tournaments with unofficial prizemoney sounds like the players are slipped illicit tax-free cash prizes and Categeory:Non-tour professional golf tournaments implies the these tournaments have nothing to do with a tour, which is not the case. Any perfectly clear name would be far too long, so we should rely on people reading the introduction to the category for clarification. Osomec

Category:Anti-Judaic people to Category:Anti-Semitic people

Merge into Category:Anti-Semitic people, this seems like a duplicate to me. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 16:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- See also the November 23rd discussion. -- ProveIt ^(talk)
- Comment: This is not in any way related to the vote taking place here. Unfortunately this CfD has been launched over wrong pretences. From most of the comments, you can see that many of the people voting clearly do not understand the distinction between these two terms—and the closing admin should take this into consideration. Taxico 11:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. There was no attempt made to discuss this before proposing deletion (whatever happened to "Wikipedia is not a democracy"??). I just started this category yesterday following an RFC and the discussions here. This is not the same as Category:Anti-Semitic people in the same sense that the two corresponding articles (Anti-Judaism and Antisemitism) are not the same. Taxico 19:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a comment, but note that this forum is a place for discussion. There is no requirement to discuss categories on other talk pages before posting them here. If the nominator feels the category needs to be considered for deletion, merging or renaming, this is the proper official forum. Dugwiki 21:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge "Anti-Judaic people" are really antisemitic people because religious antisemitism is just one type of antisemitism, out of many. Beit Or 20:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per ProveIt - this seems like a no-brainer, Tewfik^Talk 20:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as another POV category; oherwise merge to Category:Anti-Semitic people. I understand the theoretical distinction between anti-Judaism and anti-semitism, but they don't exist so widely as separate phenomena that they need separate categories ... though since both categories are based on assessments of someone's beliefs, I would much prefer deletion. WP:CAT says that "Categories appear without annotations, so be careful of NPOV when creating or filling categories. Unless it is self-evident and uncontroversial that something belongs in a category, it should not be put into a category." I think that there will be very few cases where someone's inclusion in this category is self-evident and uncontroversial. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 21:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is a fine distinction between people practicing antisemitism and those holding anti-Judaic views. Most antisemites are not anti-Judaic, and many anti-Judaic people are not necessarily antisemitic. You bring up questions about verifiability, but that warning on WP:V applies to category naming. Right now you're voting to move this category to Category:Anti-Semitic people. How's that going to make verifiability any easier? Most anti-Judaics are well-noted for their anti-Judaism. This is not true of antisemites, for they usually try to hide their antisemitism behind different guises (one being anti-Judaism). Right now the only person in this category is John Chrysostom. He's a well-noted anti-Judaic. But many (if not most) scholars believe he was not antisemitic (see this article). If the merger is successful he will end up in Category:Anti-Semitic people. Taxico 05:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply If you look above, my strong preference is to delete this category: merger is, for me a second-best, and I think that that the worst option is to keep the category.
  I think you are right to note that the distinction between anti-Judaism is a fine one; I just think that it is too fine to be useful in categorisation, and will cause endless arguments on two fronts:
  1. What degree of anti-Judaism qualifies someone for is category? Unless it is to include everyone who is not Jewish, there has to be a threshold, and how is that going to be self-evident per WP:CAT?
  2. How exactly is the fine distinction between anti-Judaism and anti-semitism to be assessed? Many of the most virulent antisemites have included a fair amount of anti-Judaic rhetoric in heir outpourings, including the Nazis, who quoted Luther's antiJudaic rants. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 12:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The categorization here was meant to be a very simple one. Unlike antisemtism (which is broadly defined and occurs in different forms and guises), anti-Judaism is very narrowly defined and largely occurs (or occured, as it has largely been replaced with antisemitism) among a handful number of Christian (or maybe Muslim) clergy. So anti-Judaism is a lot easier to categorize. The categorization is even easier considering most anti-Judaic people are very openly anti-Judaic (and a lot of times consider this to be a virtue). This note concludes my effort to keep this category alive. It was meant to be a very simple category, but I guess it's relation to Category:Anti-Semitic people (which people seem unhappy about) has proved to be destructive. Happy voting everyone. Taxico 14:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Category is too broad. There are a few billion people who believe the Judaic religion is somehow incorrect, many of whom, like it or not, believe all Jews are on their way to eternal damnation. That's not anti-Semitism. -- Kendrick7^talk 09:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This is very interesting because your vote will result in the exact opposite of what you're expressing. Any "delete" or "merge" is nothing but an endorsement of the view that anti-Judaism (criticism of Judaism as a religion) and Antisemitism (hatred toward Jewish people) are the same. (See my comment in response to BrownHairedGirl.) I hope I'm not damned eternally. --Taxico 09:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd vote weak keep if I thought this was vote was teetering in your favor. People seem completely unaware of what they are voting for, and I don't think your description of this as a "fine distinction" really cuts it. There's a vast difference between believing/teaching that Jews are going to Hell, wanting them to go to Hell, and wanting to help them get there as quickly as possible. -- Kendrick7^talk 10:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Deletion is just an endorsement of the view that this is a non-standard and unhelpful category type. Osomec 14:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At present this contains only one article and it looks unhelpful. Generally articles are not classified by negative characteristics. Osomec 14:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The three articles that were categorized here were simultaneously filed in Category:Student Radio in the United Kingdom; I've removed all three as unnecessary duplication.

- But their company name is "SC Johnson" and not "S. C. Johnson" or "S.C. Johnson" as per their homepage at: http://www.scjohnson.com/ (On that page, SC Johnson appears 8 times and S. C. Johnson appears once.) Brholden 00:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- They also give their mailing address on their "Contact" page at http://www.scjohnson.com/contact/ as "SC Johnson" Brholden 01:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Similarly, they call their family of brands the "SC Johnson Family of Brands" as per http://www.scjbrands.com/ Brholden 01:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- That is odd because the company is officially incorporated as S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. and all their website copyrights indicate as much. TonyTheTiger 23:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Another company that has a similar situation is DuPont where the company name is actually E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, but the Wikipedia page and their company branding is DuPont. Another datapoint is that the Wikipedia pages for most enterprises is at least a little different than their legal name as the "Inc." (or other suffix) is generally dropped.

  - I'm not especially opposed to "SC Johnson" but these cases are not analogous. The question here is which orthography to use for the common name of the company, whereas the case of DuPont you raise is whether to use the common name instead of the full name. There isn't a clear standard—one the one hand, we have Category:Procter & Gamble brands not Category:P&G brands; on the other we have Category:Heinz brands not Category:H. J. Heinz brands.-choster 22:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Good point - in this case the orthographic choice also aligns with the choice between the "common" and "legal" names of the company. Going back to Dupont's case, they have a "catch-all" category instead of a "brand" category - we have Category:DuPont not Category:E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, but it is the same issue (without a clear answer). I am good either way, but I definitely prefer the solution used for Heinz and Dupont of using the common name rather than the legal name. There are definitely some corner cases where the common name is unrelated to the legal name such as in the case of Subway (restaurant) where the legal name is Doctor's Associates, Inc. A category such as "Category:Doctor's Associates sandwiches" would be unintelligible, where as "Category:Subway sandwiches" would be meaningful (hopefully neither will appear).

    - Two other examples Category:HSBC not Category:HSBC Holdings & Category:Armani brands not Category:Giorgio Armani Brands Brholden 00:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I as the movant accepted the recommendation to rename to an alternate name and thus although consensus was not determined during the process, there is now consensus. TonyTheTiger 18:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Imagine what this precedent could lead to. Evening class attendance is not encyclopedic. This is not a defining characteristic of these people. It may mean a lot to some Welsh nationalists that these individuals have taken the trouble, but that doesn't make it encyclopedic and the issue is better covered in an article Piccadilly 01:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:National poets (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete, partial merge. There was previously some confusion between the concepts of Poet Laureate and "national" poet at the latter's article. While Poet Laureate is an appointive office in many countries, the roster of the "national" poets is defined only by subjective tradition, and inappropriate for a category (though I think the list can handle it nicely). All articles on poets laureate should of course be merged under Category:Poets Laureate.Pharos 01:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as this is not an official office. No need to merge now. If people want to add anyone else to Category:Poets Laureate, they can do that whenever. Piccadilly 01:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Too subjective a concept for a category: see WP:CAT #8 "Unless it is self-evident and uncontroversial that something belongs in a category, it should not be put into a category." --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 21:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:BCS Young Professionals Group Chairs looks to me like someone's failed attempt at creating an article. Grutness...wha? 01:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This should perhaps be revisited if the chairs themselves are notable enough for their own articles, although I am skeptical. --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 01:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I also have doubts that even an article is appropriate. One article about the British Computer Society is appropriate of course, but is a break out article too much? Sumahoy 04:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
