Not clear why this is necessary or desirable, and the nomination says it's supposed to be renamed. I'll withhold my vote until I see a clear argument for why the deletion is proposed. --Leifern 00:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The arguments are below. This is a rename for an entire class of categories. They are all listed separately so that they will properly link from the cfr tag. -- Samuel Wantman 01:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed rename to Category:Introduced species.

This category currently contains 2 articles and 1 sub-category. I'd like its scope expanded to cover "species" instead of just "animals", this would allow for Introduced plants to be included in this new category. There isn't currently a volume of specific introduced animal-articles to warrant a seperate category for them, as per the current contents of this category. Moreover, the primary article of this category is introduced species. Kurieeto 17:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2008 by country (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete - Is there a custom of creating this sort of category several years in advance? There are similar categories for 2009, 2010 and 2011, either with no articles or articles consisting of single sentence articles along the lines of 2008 in India which in its entirety reads "The Mumbai Urban Transport Project is expected to be completed." If this cat is deleted then the '09, '10 and '11 cats along with probably all of the articles contained within them should go as well but I didn't want to nominate all of them if this sort of future cat is standard.

Delete, or Rename to Category:Wicked actors, create Category:Stage actors by play. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • See Wicked (musical) cast lists. Otto4711 20:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • First, that TV cast categories exist is not a justification for creating Broadway cast categories. Second, the actor by series categories are being rethought even as we speak. Finally, you've indicated you created the category with the goal of shortening the Wicked article by getting the cast information out of it. The way to accomplish that is to edit the article to remove the information, not create a category. There is now an article for the casts and the article is shortened by some 20% as a result.

The result of the debate was no consensus (although (1) perhaps better as a list; (2) "ancient" seems superfluous). David Kernow (talk) 13:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Biblical women in ancient warfare (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This category contains a mere three people, and is unlikely to expand, as there are only three women directly involved in warfare in the bible. Asarelah 06:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women in ancient Japanese warfare (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Contains only one person, and is unlikely to expand as I have found no other Japanese women in ancient warfare in my research. Asarelah 06:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV, unencyclopedic 69.209.113.141 04:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename As the creator of the original category, I feel that it has a relevance and should be retained. The only POV is the use of the word tragically so perhaps the category should be renamed to Category:Footballers who died under 40.Daemonic Kangaroo 05:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's necessary in the case of Category:The Tragically Hip albums. But yeah, I know what you meant. Bearcat 01:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good point :) Grutness...wha? 07:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think both your objections are covered by my proposal to rename the article. By the age of 40 most football (soccer if you prefer) players have retired, so any age limit over 40 would be inappropriate. What I was trying to achieve was a category for footballers who died before their playing career was over.Daemonic Kangaroo 09:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Native American women (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
For a Native American to be a woman is not the sort of remarkable achievement that merits breaching the policy against categorizing by gender, indeed more than half of Native Americans accomplish it. This should go the same way as Category:American women. There is already a list. Sumahoy 02:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Impressionist entertainers to Category:Impressionists (entertainers)
Category:American impressionists to Category:American impressionists (entertainers)

The parent category requires a name that disambiguates it from Category:Impressionist artists, but the present one makes me do a double take. The subcategory should then follow the parent. Sumahoy 02:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
