Category:Councillors in Kettering (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Local councillors are inherently non-notable. This category currently has three members. Two are up for AFD (which one might possibly survive). The third member is now an MP. I would not oppose upmerge to Category:Councillors in the East Midlands if others prefer. This is the only current subcategory of that one. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Hornby Hobbies to Category:Hornby Railways
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the main article Hornby Railways. In reading the article, it was not clear from the history which is the current name, so I elected to go with that is used in the introduction and the article title on the theory that generally the category and article name should match.

Wildfires by year

The result of the discussion was: Merge as suggested. In addition, they should be merged into 'XXXX fires' and 'XXXX natural disasters' categories. Also create Category: Wildfires by decade. Ruslik_Zero 18:42, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There are too few members in these categories to support a by year hierarchy. for years prior to 2000 I suggest that a by decade scheme should be sufficient. I might agree to letting the 1990s categories alone, however the four categories spanning the 70s and 80s definitely ought to be upmerged. __meco (talk) 14:03, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • This simply means that the category you mentioned will have to be categorized somewhat differently. That is a very standard situation. I'd be happy to leave that up to the editors who have that category on their watchlist, unless this is something that the closing admin deals with. I'm sure they're quite used to this sort of recalibration. __meco (talk) 16:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is the business of the nominator to deal with all aspects of the nomination. Obviously taking articles out of correct categories (as a side-effect) is not desirable. Occuli (talk) 16:54, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think that is the direction for my suggestion. So we are probably on the same page and the devil is in the details. If the discussion closes endorsing this direction, then the only way an action can be taken will be to upmerge a slew of these and then create some limited subcategories where needed. Not totally following process, but in this case the most reasonable alternative. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not so much cannot be bothered as the fact that I haven't fully understood the nuts and bolts of the upmerge process. I fully support what you suggest. In fact that was what I intended but where unable to do. I'll probably do this right the next time I make a similar nomination. __meco (talk) 10:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Another essentially empty category by User:Nopetro (now Nudecline). Its sole content Area of freedom, security and justice is not a "European crime."

Propose renaming Category:Icelandic Canadian settlements to Category:Places in Canada populated by Icelanders
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per general move away from use of the word "settlement" for a general populated place. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are several reasons to treat this differently. 1. This actually involves settlement in the sense of pioneering and breaking land. 2. Local varaties of English 3. "Populated places" is wiki-speak that must yield in the face of a common name. 4. Proper tense: they were "settled" (in the past) by Icelanders, almost exclusively, but are now "populated" (in the present) by many types of people. --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 10:06, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
WP:COMMONNAME doesn't apply to categories as it does to articles. I'm from Canada and the proposed name makes as much if not more sense to me than the original, so "local varieties of English" is somewhat subjective in this case. If you want the word "settled" in it for your reasons (1) and (4), then surely Category:Places in Canada settled by Icelanders would make far more sense and be less ambiguous? Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That does makes sense, but it's rather wordy, compared to what we already have, don't you think? --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 08:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure. Some would say wordy, others would say clear and unambiguous. As far as wordy goes, I've certainly seen worse, that's for sure. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerged as nominated, with no prejudice to recreation as part of an organized category scheme.

Nominator's rationale: Rename. More of the same from yesterday's nomination, changing "Future" to "Planned." "Proposed" has also been suggested as an alternative.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. The revised proposal didn't produce comments, so perhaps a fresh nomination is in order. I think that would be more likely to produce new comments than a relisting of this messy-ish discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Organizational theory to Category:Organizational theories merging Category:Organizational theory to Category:Organizational studies and human resource management
Nominator's rationale: Merge. The topics appear to be synonymous and share a main article. Pnm (talk) 05:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I completely agree that Category:Organizational studies and human resource management needs significant cleanup and diffusion. I'm arguing that this category isn't the right way to do that. Grouping "aspects" or "theory-like" articles seems to be sorting by obscurity, and while that would help with such a widely scoped category, topical subcategories would be better: good ones are Category:Corporate culture and Category:Human resource management. I recently proposed a category for organizational design/structure: see discussion at Category talk:Organization design#Rationale.
Unfortunately, many of the articles in Category:Organizational theory are already cluttering the parent category, including organizational ecology. Exit-Voice-Loyalty-Neglect Model belongs in Category:Human resource management or one of its subcategories. Demotion seems not primarily theoretical, and probably belongs in Category:Human resource management. Seagull manager probably belongs in a management styles category under Category:Management. Even Mimetic isomorphism seems to be more about structure than theory.
I could see retaining the theory category for now, with the understanding that articles under theory should be moved into topical subcategories as such categories are created. When appropriate, the topical subcategories could have both org studies and org theory as a parent.
Or, do you have another strategy in mind? --Pnm (talk) 00:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I left strategy behind at the last HR exam many years ago ... oh how I hate these essays. But perhaps it makes sense to draw a top-down tree of the whole package: what should be there or not. East of Borschov (talk) 08:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Work in process: User:Pnm/Organizational studies categories.
Anticipating future discussion of topical subcategories, and to avoid dumping into an overfilled category, I revise my proposal: I propose renaming this category to Category:Organizational theories. The new scope would be general theories of organizations and abstract organizational studies concepts that don't fit in a more specific subtopic.
Rationale: "Organizational theories" better reflects the proposed, limited scope – it's not an umbrella category.

Now that the "FR Yugoslavia" categories have been renamed to "Serbia and Montenegro" categories, there is no longer any reason to have separate subcategories for SFRY people—these can all just be upmerged into the general categories for Yugoslav people. (Most of these SFRY subcategories (with the exception of the footballers) have been quite half-heartedly populated and there has not been a corresponding effort to separate out people from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, nor should there be—the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the SFR Yugoslavia were the same country, which we call "Yugoslavia". The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia went under slightly different names throughout its history, but we don't differentiate in categorization between all of these. It was only Serbia and Montenegro retaining the name "FR Yugoslavia" that caused the confusion in the category system, but now this source of confusion is defunct in the category system. FR Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) was created in 1992, hence the awkward use of "Pre-1992 Yugoslav footballers".) Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Sports venues in Las Vegas, Nevada to Category:Sports venues in the Las Vegas metropolitan area
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Most of these are not in the city and the main parent is Category:Sports in the Las Vegas metropolitan area so this is a more consistent name with the other categories. No objection if the category is later recreated if someone feels the need to populate a city only category. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename per nom. Inaccuracy is not permitted so we can't tolerate an article to be categorized as in a specific city when it isn't, and nitpicky categorization of such places by municipality/unincorporated area would be too much of a hindrance. The metropolitan area is the more relevant functioning unit here. postdlf (talk) 06:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support nom. as explained. Mayumashu (talk) 18:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
