The category that replaced it, Category:Old Kingdom series is more appropriately named, and all entries have been moved there. I just need an admin to delete the old one. Nihiltres 00:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment the new one seems horribly ambiguous. Perhaps both should be deleted in favour of Category:Old Kingdom series (Garth Nix) ? 132.205.44.134 00:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, 132.205.44.134, do you know of any other "Old Kingdom" other than the one by Garth Nix? The Ninth Bright Shiner ^(talk) 00:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Consider that Old Kingdom is a term used in Egyptology, and that many works of fiction refer to Old Kingdom in relation to New Kingdom or Republic etc, when dealing with a realm in that transitioned, without reference to external realms, it's common enough. I would similarly commont on Old Republic as being ambiguous if you proposed it for Star Wars. 132.205.44.134 00:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Considering that, I maintain that Category:Old Kingdom series is an appropriate name: it might not be were one to omit the word "series", which in my opinion should make it specific enough. If it turns out to be too ambiguous nonetheless, I will be just as happy to move it to another, less ambiguous title. Nihiltres 04:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• OPPOSE it is not a duplicate category. astronomy events are for events having to do with astronomy, as a thing. astronomical events are for events that astronomy studies.

This one needs amendment for capitalisation and I would like to see it brought into conformity with most other modern city street categories. The reason for the mention of roads is that it contained a subcategory for Ancient Roman roads, but I think it is more appropriate to make that a "see also" link as few or none of the roads in question were actually in Rome and I have done that.

  • It's an awkward case. Most other places just have a churches category. Maybe the two articles about chapels should be merged into articles about churches. On the other hand there is a parent category for chapels, but I'm not sure if it is a good idea. For now I will amend the nomination above to the more common form, put both in Category:Places of worship in Rome and cross reference them, but I'm open to suggestions.

• Comment Shouldn't we avoid refering to musicians as 'artists' in category names? (See Cat:Artists as opposed to Cat:Musicians; I can't find more specific discussion regarding this, though.) Or, since this is apparently not going to be a subcategory of Cat:Musicians but only Cat:John Peel, will that not be considered an ambiguity in this case? –Unint 00:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm, completely forgot Cat:Albums by artist. I guess it's the best word for the situation. –Unint 05:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename agreed - doesn't really matter if the artist had the recording, recorded, broadcast, released on vinyl (a small number) or if the session was recorded and broadcast (many, many more).

• Yes, you're right. The article is called One-day International, so we should use that capitalisation. So we should do a combined merge and rename of the two categories into one new category.

This proposal is to delete the following 36 categories:

• Category:All-rounders and all its nine national subcategories;
• Category:Batsmen and all its thirteen national subcategories;
• Category:Bowlers and all its eleven national subcategories.

Delete. Categorising cricketers by skill, in addition to by nationality and by first-class and national teams, seemed like a good idea, but in practice it hasn't worked well.

In brief, the main problem is that it is often doubtful which category a player belongs in. In cricket, all bowlers are required to bat, and many batsmen also bowl a bit, so there is no clear division between batsmen and all-rounders (players who are good at both batting and bowling); or between all-rounders and bowlers. Many fans perceive their heroes as being all-rounders, leading to NPOV problems in classification. As a result, these categories have never really caught on, and many (most?) players don't use them.

A straw poll at WikiProject Cricket showed unanimous support for deleting these categories. However, there is no consensus at WikiProject Cricket whether the parallel wicket-keeper categories should stay or go, so these are not being proposed for deletion.

Agree. It's quite arbitrary as to whether a player is a specialist or an all-rounder a lot of the time, too. The difference between a "batsman who bowls a bit" and an all-rounder can be negligible. Just looking at my own country's national team I'd have to wonder about whether you would call Nathan Astle or Daniel Vettori all-rounders or a batsman and bowler respectively - not to mention the problems with players who changed during their careers (a recent NZ example would be Mark Richardson). These categories are too troublesome to be of any real use, even discounting the triple-cross-referencing foul-ups that they can cause. Grutness...wha? 02:43, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This category is a collection of all the descendent categories of Category:Cricket, flattened out. Its purpose appears to be to avoid people having to browse the category hierarchy in order to find the category they are looking for. I feel this is a bad precedent.

This category survived previous votes for deletion in January 2005 and in June 2005 with no consensus being reached. However, I feel it's time to revisit it. Its creator, jguk (t·c), has left Wikipedia, and there is now a consensus at WikiProject Cricket to delete it.

I intend to notify all the people who took part in the previous debates. Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I would hate to see this happen for American football or basketball, say, where there are now at least a thousand subcategories. I don't have a real stake in the cricket categories, though, so I could imagine changing my mind if a cricket fan had a really good reason for this.--Mike Selinker 13:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason this category was left out when the other subcategories of Category:Visitor attractions by city were standardised. (I'm leaving the contents of the U.S. category to one side for the moment. I'd like to rename them too, but I suspect that some American users wouldn't approve. In any case this doesn't match the American categories either). Rename Category:Visitor attractions in Hong Kong. CalJW 09:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Related rename debate

• Rename. This category should be changed to matched the main article, Queen's University. The use of the ", Canada" qualifier is unnecessary and awkward form. See related discussion. --67.70.161.113 03:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep / Oppose. There are other Queen's Universities around, e.g. Belfast. Otherwise, this would set the Canadian above the rest. Ian Cairns 12:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one other school. The other is officially called the Queen's University of Belfast, always with the regional qualifier. The Canadian school has no such qualifier. Putting in a regional qualifier after a comma has the misleading effect of suggesting there is more than one campus, as in University of California, Berkeley — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:(({1))}|(({1))}]] ([[User talk:(({1))}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/(({1))}|contribs]])

I know two graduates of Queen's University in my home town in England - neither has ever set foot in Canada. The British usage is to refer to the nearer university as Queen's University, as per Bhoeble's contribution. The Canadian university is almost unknown. Wikipedia has a policy of calling things by their common name, not necessarily their formal name. I have no problem with the anon suggestion of Queen's University (Canada) and, similarly, Queen's University (Belfast). The Canadian main article needs renaming in conformance. Ian Cairns 00:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename. use of official names for both Queen's Unis. is best Mayumashu 05:13, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose It is not true that the other one is always used with a qualifier. I have never heard of the university in Canada so "Queen's University" means the one in Belfast to me. Bhoeble 18:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename, and even if you have not heard of the university, it should not be Queen's University, Canada, rather Queen's University (Canada) if you think Queen's University is ambiguous. 132.205.44.134 00:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These two categories are redundant, as are their similarily named sub categories (World War II naval ships of country x and World War II ships of country x), however those sub categories are (generally) mutually exclusive (World War II battleships of country x will typically exist in either ships or naval ships but not both), which makes this a navigation nightmare. As an example, if you were looking for the United Kingdom's World War II ships, some (battleships, cruisers, etc.) would be in Category:World War II naval ships of the United Kingdom, while others (destroyers, aircraft carriers, etc.) are in Category:World War II ships of the United Kingdom. Kralizec! (talk) 02:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose, not all notable WWII ships were naval ships. The luxury liner Ile de France comes to mind as a notable ship involved in WWII. Then there's notable merchant shipping involved in battles at sea with commerce raiders or interdictors. There's the Norwegian ferry that was raided by partisans to stop heavy water being shipped to Nazi Germany, etc. 132.205.44.134 00:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, as per previous vote. I agree that the vast majority are naval, but it would really take making a sub-cat for naval ships and moving the relevant ones down to do it right. Josh 03:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
