Category:United States Senate election in Minnesota, 2008 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - this is the only 2008 Senate election with its own subcategory and its entire contents are linked through the main article. Also a small category with little likelihood of expansion (at most there would probably only be one possible additional article, on the upcoming trial, assuming that the main article isn't simply expanded to cover it) Not needed for navigation, also sets a poor precedent of categorizing candidates by election. Given that most elected officials run a number of times in the course of a career, if implemented this could lead to dozens of categories on some candidates' articles.

Category:Bishops by century

edit
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: reverse merge. In other words, the ones being kept will be the ones without "Christian" and with the proper hyphenation. (There are more of these "Christian bishop" categories for other centuries that could be similarly nominated.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:11th-century bishops to Category:11th century Christian bishops
Suggest merging Category:16th-century bishops to Category:16th-century Christian bishops
Suggest merging Category:17th-century bishops to Category:17th century Christian bishops
Suggest merging Category:Bishops by century to Category:Christian bishops by century
Nominator's rationale: Merge, "Bishop" originated as a term only within Christianity. Having both is just blatant overcategoriztion. There is no purpose in having Category:16th-century bishops with only one category in it, Category:16th-century Christian bishops. --Carlaude (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well for one thing, I didn't know if there would be a preference for "Christian bishops" over "bishops". Also, those would be a pure rename. --Carlaude (talk) 21:43, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am not adding or changing any category name... I am just proposing that we get rid of one of these two categories (via merge) that have the same purpose. Either is fine with me-- but I think the "Christian bishops" has been around longer. --Carlaude (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is only one Raëlian bishop in all of Wikipedia (and of duibous notablity) but I would think that is a reason to use use "Christian bishops" (with Raëlian bishops under Category:20th century clergy) Each Christian bishops was named that was largely because it was a subset of Christian clergy. --Carlaude (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, preferably to plain "bishops". Johnbod (talk) 21:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reverse merge to "Bishops" categories. "Christian" is superfluous since at least 99% will be Christian. Whatever we do "bishops by denomination" categories will be proper subcategories of it. There may be a few minor categories for non-christian bishops, but does that matter? I seem to recall that the French made Vietnamese Buddhists have bishops.

Propose renaming Category:Object-oriented database management systems to Category:object-oriented database management system
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The correct name is object database and hence "object database management system". Johan Natt och Dag (talk) 15:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cringe-inducing foods (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Completely POV and subjective category. Don't know what else to say, really. Culturally centric, too? Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Railroad categories

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. As more people commented, the fewer categories they were ok with being renamed. The only ones left that had consensus were a few that changed (US) to (U.S.), which had nothing to do with the rationale for the nomination. Kbdank71 15:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Rename. These renamings would match the name of the main article. In most of these cases the company was renamed, and the category is currently at the old name. For example, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company was originally the Southern Pacific Railroad, but the original company, which remained as a nonoperating subsidiary, never included many lines, including those in Oregon, Utah, and Nevada, that were operated by the SPTC.

Propose renaming Category:Video games with time travel to Category:Video games featuring time travel
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Slightly less ambiguous title. I.e. doesn't suggest that if you open the box you will find time travel inside. SharkD (talk) 03:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Kbdank71 15:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Hidden Camera to Category:Hidden camera television series
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Category needs to be a bit more descriptive of what exactly is being categorized. "Hidden Camera" is not a proper noun, it's just a descriptive phrase that establishes the central premise of these shows. But they are all "television series", and we should explicitly say so.

Propose renaming Category:Timorese footballers to Category:East Timorese footballers
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Use "East Timorese" as nationality per everything else in Category:East Timorese people. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • REname per nom. I assume that none of those included is an Indonesian national from West Timor. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, they are all of East Timorese nationality and all have played for East Timor's national football team. All of them play for clubs in Indonesia, however, so it is possible that there was some confusion or belief by the creator that people can be "Timorese" (i.e. from the island in Indonesia) but not East Timorese (if one believes that Indonesia has a legitimate claim on the whole island, e.g.).
