Delete - absent articles on people associated with the series (improper performer by performance categorization) and following the removal of articles placed in the category for such tenuous connection as an episode took place there, the remaining material does not require a category. The main article and the navtemplate are more than sufficient. Otto4711 22:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added Category:Participants in American reality television series to that article. It will no longer be orphaned when this category is deleted. Dugwiki 16:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You mean if this category is deleted. I note that this series is ongoing so has potential for growth. I still favour keeping this category. Tim! 17:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The people have been removed now and it is just articles about the simple Life. The category is needed for there articles as they fall under "The Simple Life". There is nothing to gain from deleting it. I should be kept as these articles belong to "The Simple Life". Also Category:Participants in American reality television series is uncorrect as the series has been confirmed to be scripted. Russell29 21:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All shows don't have a category. In fact, the vast majority of TV shows don't have categories, because the vast majority of them don't need categories. People from the show should not be categorized under it because of the very strong consensus against categorizing people by performance. The episode list and seasonal summaries can be categorized in the episodes category and quite frankly the seasonal episodes could probably be deleted or redirected to the episode list as redundant. Otto4711 22:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually WP:EPISODE says that season article should be created to break up the plot. Also what is to gain from deleting it? it just makes things more complicated. And if a show has been confirmed by the network to be scripted, they are fictional characters how are pretendin to be real and not actual people. There is also going to be two more seasons so there will be more articles. Russell29 14:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New categories often get picked up and debated carefully, which is what we're doing here. Adding an individual Joe Bloggs page to the category later is not so easy to watch for. You seem to be determined to dislike me. It's hard not to construe your last comments as a personal attack on me (or if not me, someone else in this thread). You have absolutely no reason to assume that I or anyone else is discriminating against you for racial reasons, or is opposing this category for that reason. You are not helping your cause by that sort of comment. Kindly withdraw it. Zaian 10:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's another reason against people-by-opinion categories. Opinions change over time. It looks plain silly to categorise one person as both a supporter and an opponent of apartheid. Zaian 13:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree a merged discussion would be best. In my view, only one of the nominations should succeed (preferably this one); certainly not both. I would prefer a nomination that also covered removing the Old Catholic sub-cat, since only 2 of the 3 sub-cats of that are in full communion with each other - see above.

The result of the debate was rename to Category:Films without speech. There is clearly consensus for some kind of rename. In my opinion, "words" isn't specific enough, and dialogue is too specific, so I'm going with the middle ground.--Mike Selinker 15:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:None-language films to Category:Category:Film without words
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, None-language films is clearly wrong, gramatically. At the National Film Board of Canada, wherein I toil, we've tended to use the term "A film without words." Does my proposed rename work for people or is there a more obvious choice? Shawn in Montreal 14:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
and while I don't want to get too artsy here, filmmakers would argue cinema is a language, albeit a visual one.Shawn in Montreal 14:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good question. Because the films in this category, such as A Chairy Tale are not silent. They have music and sound effects. Just no dialogue or narration.Shawn in Montreal 15:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Would Category:Films without dialogue be a better descriptor? Being perfectly pedantic, if the films have written credits, captions or intertitles they have "words." Or since we tend not to categorize by what things aren't, is this a useful categorization at all? Otto4711 16:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd considered Category:Films without dialogue, too. My only concern was that "narration" is not, strictly speaking, dialogue. But I agree for the reasons you give above that it may be preferable to Films without words (which we use at the NFB and so I'm simply more used to). Now, as for whether or not this is a useful cat., I really don't have a strong take on that either way. I just knew that None-language films couldn't stay as is. If you wish to widen this to a renaming OR deletion discussion please go ahead. I think my preference would be to keep and rename, somehow. Shawn in Montreal 17:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I could go with either Category:Films without dialogue or Category:Films without speech. Could we vote on these options as opposed to what I had originally proposed? Is that allowed by the rules? Shawn in Montreal 19:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy with either, but I'd marginally prefer Category:Films without speech, because a pedant could say that an arty film with a long monologue (or even one with just a narrator's voice) would fit in Category:Films without dialogue . --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No category name is going to be perfect in this case, I suspect. Category:Films without spoken words looks more odd, to me. I'll stick with Category:Films without speech. It gets an extra point from me for being more succinct, i.e. using the one-word "speech" instead of "spoken words" Shawn in Montreal 21:30, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
all of these options are vastly better than "none-language" and I have no qualms with "without dialogue," either.Shawn in Montreal 14:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Articles with large trivia sections to Category:Articles with trivia sections
Nominator's Rationale: Around the time the ((toomuchtrivia)) tag got renamed to ((trivia)) in early March, it no longer applied only to articles with large trivia sections, but rather any article with a trivia section of any size per WP:TRIVIA. The tracking category should be renamed accordingly. –Pomte 14:49, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This would be a brilliant idea, if, em, those Templates were two different things...
If they were, I'd give you the Support tag. --SteelersFan UK06 17:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Given the controversy that currently exists on tagging articles with ((trivia)), I worry that separating the two templates could create edit wars about whether a given section has too little trivia, too much trivia, or just the right amount of trivia ;) My personal view is that content in any trivia section, regardless of length, should be integrated. So, for me, a second tag is unnecessary. Of course, people may and do disagree with me ... -- Black Falcon (Talk) 18:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Besides, all articles that contain trivia sections must have a "trivia" tag. And some Wikipedians (i.e. User:A Link to the Past) even hate trivia sections, no matter how much trivia it contains, from what I saw here. Also, some trivia is allowed. Sjones23 20:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, To label a film "sadistic" is opinionated. Helltopay27 12:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it may be a new genre in terms of use, but it's still accurate and differentiaes itself from slasher films or such. I've seen the term used on on several areas. All Movie Guide, Video Detective, CD Japan (under description of hostel), MTV (describing saw and similar films), VH1, Filmsite.org, with Sadistic horror of the new millenium title, Answers.com on Last House on the Left, I think i've given plenty of examples. In fact, Strong Keep. Andrzejbanas 12:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - just because others over-categorize doesn't mean we need to too. allmovie classifies Hostel as a Category:Sex Horror Films, do we need one for that too? Tarc 14:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Wikipedia:Overcategorization#Trivial intersection. Politicians come from all walks of life: lawyers, businessmen, soldiers, writers, actors, astronauts, sportspeople.

Propose renaming Category:Queen (band) songs to Category:Queen songs
Nominator's Rationale: no purpose in disambiguating the categories, as there is no such thing as a category for Queen songs outside of the band's. As well, rename all related categories which use improper disambig to a similar proposed renaming. (added by User:A Link to the Past at 21:31, 27 May 2007 - sig was nowikied)

Category:Glyphic serif typefaces to Category:Incised typefaces
My point was that we currently do not have enough articles to necessitate these excessive subcats, nor do I think we ever will (I have a hard time thinking of any incised sans-serif faces, and we don't even have an article on Lithos yet). I feel that placing both Category:Incised typefaces and Category:Sans-serif typefaces on a typeface like Lithos (assuming the article gets created) is just as good as creating another layer of sub categorization. But, I could live with the alternative proposal.-Andrew c 21:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I believe we are in agreement. My point was that if a typeface could be described as serif then it should exist somewhere in the serif cat hierarchy (for example). If it exists in another hierarchy as well (e.g. incised), that's fine, of course. My intention is not to create unnecessary categories; I mentioned it as illustration of the concept. ⇔ ChristTrekker 15:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Spooks locations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete - similar to the Pirates of the Carib. category up for deletion, this is a category for real locations used in a fictional setting or doubling for a fictional building. This is a bad categorization scheme. Popular filming locations could end up with dozens of fictional locale categories under this sort of categorization. A production or locations section in the show's article is a better way of handling this material. Otto4711 01:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an unnecessary intersection category to me. Is there something that all these films have in common, that they wouldn't have in common with a black-and-white film made in 1962 or 1964? (Besides that. Yeah.) --Quuxplusone 01:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Set index articles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete, Misguided category created based on misinterpretation of recent discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Table instead of a list? and Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Distinguishing disambiguation non-articles from index list articles. Set Index articles are a recent exception to standard disambiguation page guidelines for specialized articles. The prototype for this sort of exception was Ship-related disambiguation pages, where there was an active Wikiproject that argued for pages that disambiguated between ships with the same name were better served by including more information that needed for a typical disambiguation page. A second type of exception arose with pages disambiguating Mountains with the same name. Both these special cases have active Wikiprojects supporting them and recommending guidelines for such pages. They each have templates ((Shipindex)) and ((Mountainindex)) which add the pages to specialized categories: Category:Disambiguation lists of ships and Category:Disambiguation lists of mountains. A generic category for what was intended to be exceptional is not a good thing, IMO. I have no objection to judiciously creating new types of exceptions, but I'd expect them to be more specific and have the support of an active Wikiproject.
