Northern Irish categories (block rename proposal)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Rename. - TexasAndroid 14:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These categories are all grammatically incorrect. According to various opinion polls taken in Northern Ireland, "Northern Irish" is the most neutral term, and is preferred over and above terms such as "Ulster-person (man/woman)", "British", "Irish" or "Scots-Irish". The term "Northern Ireland" or, by extention, "Northern Irelander", is never used except in the context of saying "I come from Northern Ireland".. just as an English person might say "I come from England".

Further to this, the category Category:Northern Irish people is cognate with other similar categories (see English people, Scottish people, Welsh people, British people, Irish people, French people, German people, European people etc etc). The accepted standard in Wikipedia seems to be Category:Fooian Fooers. I see no reason that Northern Irish people should be treated any differently.

  • Please specify exactly which super-cat you mean Valiantis. --Mal 16:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I meant Category:Northern Ireland people. If that is renamed (as is likely) then I think these subcats should all follow suit. I was (perhaps unnecessarily) concerned we might end up with a situation where the higher level cat was renamed and not the subcats (or vice-versa). Apologies if my comment was unclear.

This category is used only for civil aircraft, and thus should be renamed Category:Civil transport aircraft, which would thus bring it more closely in line with the equivalent military category, Category:Military transport aircraft. There is no danger that this renaming will cause confusion, because no airliner is ever referred to as a civil transport aircraft. In fact, this renaming will actually elucidate matters, because it makes it very clear that the category refers only to civil aircraft—cargo aircraft could theoretically include both military and civil categories.

Quite simply, there is no such thing as a Civil reconnaissance aircraft; reconnaissance is solely a military venture. Thus, this title is redundant, and I propose it be renamed Category:Reconnaissance aircraft, because the new title will still be completely unambiguous. (The same renaming should take place for all constituent categories as well. Ingoolemo talk 17:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please also delete all other JEL-coded subcategories of Category:Economics --Francis Schonken 09:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The code JEL refers to the JEL classification codes system used by the Journal of Economic Literature. I proposed using this system at Talk:Economics in response to general concern about the poor state of the economics categories (see also Category_talk:Economics and got limited but positive response. I suggest more discussion there, rather than trying to deal with the categories piecemeal.JQ 04:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to go this way, I think you should propose some alternative approach to fixing the evident and long-standing problems with the economics categories. As was established in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categorization, the approach taken in previous instances of this kind such as SOC hasn't been to start from scratch but to use a coherent system as a basis.

Having a separate category for militay badges is a bit redundant, and really an unnecessary subcategory - it's like having a category for cars, then a subcategory for green cars. Badges are awards and decorations. There is no category for Medals of the United States Military, nor ribbons, nor paper certificates, etc etc. It would be much better to merge, then break the badges down by the already existing categories of Category:United States Air Force awards, Category:United States Army awards, etc. Nobunaga24 00:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
