Category:Honorary fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete (perhaps listify first) as overcategorisation by award. Recipients of this honour include Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa, who each have many more defining characteristics. BencherliteTalk 23:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Stars that has four planets to Category:Stars that have four known planets
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Has -> have, gramatical error. +known as number of planet unknown. Suggest merging to something like Stars that have multiple planets Martin451 (talk) 23:15, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I gather the planetary systems left in the top level category are the ones with one known planet-- or they should be. To include all stars with any planets would be the whole ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Planetary systems-- as far as I know.
But we can use either ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Stars with multiple known planets Carlaude:Talk 08:48, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, I see now. That makes sense. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:44, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Category:Biota of North Carolina to Category:Natural history of North Carolina. --Xdamrtalk 11:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:Biota of North Carolina to Category:Natural history of North Carolina
Nominator's rationale: Uperge, unnecessary subdivision, with only three categories and one article at present, which the natural history cat is more than capable of handling. The biota grouping may make sense at higher level geographic divisions where there is going to be a lot more natural history content to sort through, but not at this level. It's the only U.S.-state level biota category. Postdlf (talk) 15:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn by nominator, see my talkpage. Debresser (talk) 15:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:Templates for deletion templates to Category:Templates for discussion templates
Nominator's rationale: WP:TFD has been renamed to Templates for discussion, so the category should be moved to correspond to the new title. As the new title has already been created, the contents of this category should be merged there. Jafeluv (talk) 14:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. --Xdamrtalk 11:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Hair physiology (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category has absolutely nothing to do with physiology. Only one of the pages within the category is remotely related to physiology. I am opting for deletion rather than recategorising everything because all of the hair pages with any physiology info is already under Category:Hair anatomy.

Propose renaming Category:Turkish people of Bosnian descent to Category:Turkish people of Bosnia and Herzegovina descent
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match other categories in ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:People of Bosnia and Herzegovina descent. Using "Bosnia and Herzegovina" as an adjective seems to be the usual way of dealing with this awkward nationality name issue. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Turks to Turkish people

The result of the discussion was: Rename all per nom. --Xdamrtalk 11:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To conform with other similar categories in ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Turkish people by ethnic or national origin, which typically use "Turkish people" rather than "Turks". I've also included the fictional category for consistency. Note that the Azerbaijani language is sometimes called "Azerbaijani Turkish", so having a category by that name to refer to people is inherently confusing.

Category:Fictional Swedes
edit
Propose renaming Category:Fictional Swedes to Category:Fictional Swedish people
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To reflect naming format recently accepted for real-people categories for people from Sweden. (There has been recent consensus to not delete the category: see here.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • General comment: unlike real people who always have are least some allegiance to their nations/territories/etc. and who always have a place of birth (even if it's unknown) - fictional characters need not have it at all. A fictional character may be identified in the text as Swede but this brief note does not say anything about his birth place ("where he comes from") or his citizenship (a very recent invention) etc; sometimes on a purpose. Like the Wandering Jew. So if the decision is made to replace ethnicity with place of birth or any other strictly geographic criteria, you should just as well take courage to remove a lot of categorization where these criteria aren't sourced to original texts.
  • Even more general comments: Unlike real people, fictional characters cannot sue the Foundation, so why should we suppress their ethnicities the way we try to suppress those of real people? If the author wrote A Swede, it's a Swede. NVO (talk) 07:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all per recent precedent of multiple categories of the same structure. Debresser (talk) 21:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What worries me that, just like with the case of "recent precedents", a change in the intended meaning of the category will not be followed by revision of all categorized pages and contents of the category will follow the old convention, since few editors will have the guts to strip former ethnic categories from highly-watched characters. NVO (talk) 04:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is no change in the intended meaning of the category. It is only changing the name of the category. A bot will move the articles, we don't need to rely on users to do it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fictional Spaniards
edit
Propose renaming Category:Fictional Spaniards to Category:Fictional Spanish people
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To reflect naming format recently accepted for real-people categories for people from Spain. (There has been recent consensus to not delete the category: see here.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fictional Poles
edit
Propose renaming Category:Fictional Poles to Category:Fictional Polish people
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To reflect naming format recently accepted for real-people categories for people from Poland. (There has been recent consensus to not delete the category: see here.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:56, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fictional Finns
edit
Propose renaming Category:Fictional Finns to Category:Fictional Finnish people
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To reflect naming format recently accepted for real-people categories for people from Finland. (There has been recent consensus to not delete the category: see here.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fictional Danes
edit
Propose renaming Category:Fictional Danes to Category:Fictional Danish people
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To reflect naming format recently accepted for real-people categories for people from Denmark. (There has been recent consensus to not delete the category: see here.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fictional Scots
edit
Propose renaming Category:Fictional Scots to Category:Fictional Scottish people
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To reflect naming format recently accepted for real-people categories for people from Scotland. There was consensus for this identical change in 2007. In 2008, the renamed category was deleted. In 2009, it was re-created under the old name again. (Note: On the deletion issue, there has been recent consensus to not delete: see here.)
