Delete - Categories on football (soccer) players already contain several categories indicating their participation in the FIFA World Cup, and the large number of categories are difficult to read within the individual articles. This category is the weakest. People in other sports are not categorized by whether they scored in important games (e.g. American footballers are not categorized as to whether they scored in the Super Bowl, nor are MLB baseball players scores as to whether they scored in the World Series). This category therefore seems inappropriate. Given this and the outcome of votes on a related football (soccer) categories for people scoring in similar finals games (which I cannot find at the moment), this category should be deleted.

The result of the debate was delete (speedy delete per G4). Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - First, this is categorization by name, a form of overcategorization. Such categories usually bring together articles with little in common. Second, this category was deleted following a lengthy 22 Nov 2006 discussion where the majority of users found that it was not useful to categorize by surname. (The discussion was closed 9 Dec 2006, and the category was recreated 16 Jan 2007.) For these reasons, the category should be speedy deleted. Dr. Submillimeter 20:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was withdrawn as duplicate. I'll solicit assistance from related Wikiprojects. We have a huge number of backlogged categories for listifying. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. These were part of the mass nomination that resulted in the decision to listify and speedy delete cast categories with an appropriate cast list in place. However, thes categories for actors by the network on which their shows appeared or the producing studio, not for specific shows. Per Disney Channel actors, these actor by channel/studio categories should be speedily deleted without listifying. Otto4711 17:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above and per previous actor by studio afds. Dugwiki 19:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close disucssion - These two categories have both been the subjects of individual WP:CFD discussions that were closed very recently. The decision on Category:Disney voice actors was to delete. The decision on Category:Nicktoons cast members was to listify (although I think that deletion may have been more appropriate, as this is a production company and not a show). The administrators and bots have not had the opportunity to act on these categories. Another discussion is only going to confuse people. Dr. Submillimeter 19:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Research in Kiev city to Category:Organisations based in Kiev city

Nominator's Rationale: Rename, This category is excessively narrow. It appears to have been created to hold one particular article, and I can't find any other research by city categories.

Delete - Category contains three articles, the lead article and two articles for buildings in Miami. The articles for the two buildings, Platinum on the Bay and Four Seasons Hotel Miami, contain no information which justifies inclusion in the category. Even if they did, three articles are insufficient to sustain a category and without the building articles the one remaining article certainly is insufficient. I have placed the article Manhattanization in an appropriate parent cat, Category:Political terms. The nominated cat should be deleted. Otto4711 17:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Obviously a project like this cannot thrive if people don't like it, which seems to be the case here. To me, questions like "What other churches are located close to this one?" or "What are the neighboring counties?" etc. seem to be pretty natural and relevant for an encyclopedia to answer. I would therefore be interested in learning why people immediately reject the idea, maybe on my talk page or on the project's talk page. I thought it was a really good idea at the time :-) Cheers, AxelBoldt 23:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This categorization is (relatively) time-proof. Taking a long-term view (either backwards, or forwards; it doesn't matter) -- with shifting government borders, there is a case to be made that these categories are more valid than Category:Mountains of the United States or Category:Rivers of South Korea. However, for regions which overlap more than one square, there is no point in adding 50 or more categories. This may make for an interesting wiki on its own.

Rename, BUT... This is something I've been meaning to get around to for a while, so I've no objection in principle. However, given that the by-country subcategories use the serial comma, for consistency's sake I would suggest that the category is renamed to Orders, decorations, and medals.

Comment and how does a vote on one thing affect another thing? // Liftarn
You've misunderstood, these aren't "votes", they are discussions. Read the discussion. Jayjg ^(talk) 16:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, then. How does one thing affect another? That A was deleted is not a valid argument to also delete B. // Liftarn
  - This isn't A and B, this is a second variation on A. Lists and categories are very closely related—in fact, it's common to convert categories to lists, and vice versa. Now, it is true that a deletion for "List of A" does not necessarily mean that "Category:A" should also be deleted, because it's possible that the list was deleted in favor of a category. This is pretty much the sole exception, though, and doesn't apply here. Xtifr _tälk 22:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think it does apply here. // Liftarn
Delete "Pejorative" is an overly subjective term, and thus is a problematic criteria for categorization. Where do you draw the line between "justifiably insulted" and "overly sensitive"? Dugwiki 19:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the arguments raised for the near-identical list, many of which apply even more strongly to a category. Categories can't include citations and can't be easily monitored for inappropriate additions. If we were to keep one or the other, then we should keep the list, but since the list has already been deleted, we should most definitely get rid of the category as well! Xtifr _tälk 22:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No, becasause we deleted the list the category should stay. However it may need a better name. // Liftarn

Delete 'Pejorative' is simply too subjective. Anything which comes down to opinion, like this does, is an unsuitable basis for a category (WP:OR, etc).

Xdamr^talk 17:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

do not delete until a satisfactory replacement term is found. Suggests are 'political epithets' or 'political slurs' Bad idea to upmerge to 'political terms'--that category is already in need of category diffusion. Hmains 19:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that there is any way that this can be replaced without being OR. Afd doesn't seem to want it, so any re-creation is likely to be deleted.

Delete - I originally nominated this for renaming on 2007 Feb 7 to be renamed as "futurist consultants". I had thought that the category was supposed to be used for people paid by corporations for information on future developments. However, looking at futurist, futurologist, list of futurologists, and future studies more carefully, it appears that this category was originally intended to include science fiction writers (who so frequently write about the future that it is not a defining characteristic), scientists and economists who have made predictions about the future, and other people. Few of these people are not connected to any other profession. This collection of people is not useful. In particular, discussion of the future is not a defining characteristic for some groups of people, especially science fiction wrtiers (where people normally write about the future). This should be deleted. (I apologize for not coming to this realization during the first nomination.) Dr. Submillimeter 08:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Absurd contents now. Catholicism was relevant even before 16-17th century, e.g. during Waldensian Crusades or Hussite Wars or during early conflicts with countries under the Orthodox Church but the category gives no chance to cover this and only this and would be as misused in the future as it is now. Pavel Vozenilek 21:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. At present, the category appears to be a random intersection of military leaders who happoen to be RC, even if thir religion has no bearing on their military role. The question I see is whether a similar category could be more precusely named or labelled to restrict it to those who were doing their military leadership in a particularly Catholic way. There might be a case for a more specific "category:Leaders of Roman Catholic military forces", but even that would probably still be too broad, because it wouldn't distinguish between officers in the contemporary Spanish Army (a secular force which happens to be mostly Roman Catholic), and leaders in the Waldensian Crusades or Hussite Wars. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Indoor theme parks to Category:Indoor amusement parks

Nominator's Rationale: Rename. I have an idea that there was a mass merger of all theme park categories into the matching amusement park categories, but this one was not included for some reason. Sumahoy 01:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to the nomination below about category:Singers by instrument, this is another strange hyphenated category, where most members are also in category:Record producers and a musician category.--Mike Selinker 00:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete These categories add clutter to articles which often have many categories already, but they add very little value in compensation. Sumahoy 01:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
