The result of the debate was wrong forum, no action other than what is described below. Syrthiss 15:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Actually, I don't think Category:World records should be deleted; simply that most of its members should not be in the category. For example, Rajaratna Ruby is in the category, but the article says nothing about any world record. People's Republic of China is the same. This category should contain articles about world records, such as World Record progression 100 m men; and not merely articles about things that have achieved records. dbenbenn | talk 19:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"films" was tagged for deletion on 12/08, but not listed here. Looking around, I found where the vampire movies appear to belong, the third cat above. There's also a single entry "Movies" cat that should also be merged into the proper home, IMHO. - TexasAndroid 17:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another case, like the one just below, where I listed it for the sake of the process, following through with the process started by the person who originally tagged the category. And again in this case I'm going to actually vote Keep on the category itself. Looks like a well populated and used category. - TexasAndroid 16:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The second was tagged for deletion back in early December. but looking at it, the one tagged is IMHO the proper name, given the expanded abbreviation. So I'm tagging the first for merge back into the second. - TexasAndroid 16:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such thing as telenovela-only actors. Every actor also works with theater, movies, commercials...

This term seems to get no google hits at all, except those relating to this discussion. (And only wiki mirrors seem to use the capitalised version.) Rename to Category:Maine state routes, following generic term in use in the state in question. Alai 04:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But then Maine State Routes needs to be capitalized. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On what basis? I just argued to the contrary; when this was nominated previously, another editor (who I've asked to comment here again) also argued to the contrary.

Duplicate categories, merge into the larger and more common form. Vegaswikian 00:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverse merge Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories) specifically notes that military equipment is to be '... of foo' format. One could consider missiles closer to aircraft, which are 'fooian ...' format, but aircraft are the one oddball, as ships and military equipment are the other way. Thus I would put missiles with the majority and assign it '... of foo' format. NOTE the vast majority of missiles aren't very well categorized right now. They haven't gotten much love, since they don't fit neatly into either ships, aircraft, or vehicles categories, and even weapons don't give them justice. This is why the category names are not in line with policy...let's at least keep with policy on what we do change, and if need be I can submit a more complete list of renames to standardize all of the missile categories. Josh 15:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
