Category:Collective consciousness

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: delete. If WP:OTHERSTUFF is desired to be deleted or merged it can be nominated accordingly. The Bushranger One ping only 22:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category appears to be entirely the creation of one user. He is in the process of applying the term very broadly, connecting it from everything from Category:Social work to Category:Fascism to Category:Online dating for specific interests. It's all a bit much. - Eureka Lott 23:44, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The other point is the application of classification to categories within that broad tree. I will happily revert my classification additions if consensus supports a revert, though perhaps that would be better discussed within the category talk page. (I authored both the category, and the classifications, but not the main page.) --Andrewaskew (talk) 02:02, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It appears consensus is against me. If this category is deleted then we should also probably propose deleting Category:Occult collective consciousness and propose merging Category:Fictional collective consciousnesses to Category:Fictional superorganisms.
I still would argue that the main and the category synopsis provide clear boundaries to this category. But I am happy to bow to the public will. --Andrewaskew (talk) 01:04, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Puerto Rico

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. The Bushranger One ping only 22:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge and leave a redirect. This is a new category, and the old one contains a substantial set of sub-cats. Nevertheless I did not take this to the Speedy page as the rest of Category:People by territory in the United States has "People from...", so a reverse merge might be in order. Note that Puerto Rican people is the lead article, but it states that "Puerto Rican people" can include people from elsewhere with PR heritage. – Fayenatic London 19:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Modern physics to match head article. There's a strong desire for a different name, but no workable ones have gained consensus.--Mike Selinker (talk) 15:23, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A thinly and arbitrarily populated subcategory of Category:Physics, created as part of the now-deleted hoax Nullo Space article. McGeddon (talk) 16:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
WikiProject Physics has been notified. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:28, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American oil industrialists

The result of the discussion was: merge. The Bushranger One ping only 22:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. As a result of the current CfD discussion, all oil industrialists categories were renamed Businesspeople in the oil industry categories, except this category. Propose to upmerge it as the upper category American businesspeople in the oil industry does not have any other entry that just this category. If it will be decided to keep this category separately, also categories like British oil industrialists and Russian oil industrialists should be re-created to follow the unified categories structure.

The result of the discussion was: keep for now. If no other states gain mall-by-county categories within a month or so, then this mid-level container category can be deleted.--Mike Selinker (talk) 15:28, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: not needed. we have Category:Shopping malls in the United States, which is basically a container category for "shopping malls in the United States by state". "United States by county" is not a very useful category structure. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:07, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shopping centers in the San Francisco Bay Area

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: speedy rename (G7, author consents). – Fayenatic London 18:05, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: for consistency with all the other categories for shopping malls in the US, including this ones subcategories. I do note that some of the included articles are on retail districts which are neither open air centers or enclosed malls. These could go in a new category just above this one, Category:Shopping districts and streets in the San Francisco Bay Area, as a subset of Category:Shopping districts and streets in the United States. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:45, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I created this category. I have no objection to the proposed reorganization. —Stepheng3 (talk) 16:23, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Places in California

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: delete. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:15, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As per my other proposal on the San Francisco Bay Area, this seems to be an unnecessary layer between Category:Geography of California and the subcategories and pages found in these two categories. Category:Lists of places in California is really for sets of specialized lists, and it doesnt need to go away, as they bunch all types of places together and it serves a purpose (list of geographical locales in california would be an awful name for a category). all the rest of the items here can easily fit within Geography.

Nominator's rationale: This seems to be an unnecessary layer between Category:Geography of the San Francisco Bay Area and all the subcategories and pages found in these two categories. I dont see much use of "Places" as a descriptor (except in england). I think all the pages could fit into Geography of the SFBA easily. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
