Category:ELearning 2.0 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete This category is primarily an essay, apparently created by a Berlin-based company for the purpose of self-promotion. It is not useful for navigating the encyclopedia. Stepheng3 (talk) 22:58, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I speedy deleted it per G11 and G12 (copy of http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-release/elearning-20-applied-to-the-language-learning-market-71648.php). — Sebastian 07:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Beatles people

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete for now, but if someone objects to the name in the future this discussion should not be used as a "precedent" for rename consensus due to the unusual way the process unfolded. A redirect can be created by any user if desired. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:The Beatles people (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete I've replaced this cat with Category:People associated with The Beatles. I've moved those articles in the cat into the new cat. I've now realised that I should have put this up for renaming. I feel it might be inappropriate for me to delete this myself. SilkTork *YES! 22:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, TPH. To clarify, I suggested reverting the close in order to allow for the normal CFD discussion to proceed, instead of summarily preempting it. As I explained, even though both TPH and Silk Tork were undoubtedly acting in good faith, it still amounted to an end run around the CFD process. So I think SilkTork absolutely did the right thing by bringing it to CFD. Cgingold (talk) 10:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • A somewhat more likely possibility is that some editors might express a preference for the original category over the new one, because both formulations are used extensively, so we don't really have a concensus on this question. Cgingold (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmmm... I really don't know for sure, but I can't say as I've ever noticed any particular tendencies with respect to UK vs US preferences. Cgingold (talk) 13:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • US usage seems more forgiving re concatenations such as 'University of XXX YYY, zzz alumni' whereas the UK preference is for 'Alumni of ...'. This is a similar construction and looks to be missing an apostrophe to me. Occuli (talk) 16:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Technology by decade (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete this and all subcategories. "Invented in", as in the title, is a possible characterisation. "Popular in" is much too subjective for any sensible discussion. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doesn't meet any of the criteria: please move to full CFD. Cgingold (talk) 13:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Still tagged as speedy. Johnbod (talk) 05:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • When I list things here, I get told to take them to speedy. I won't be doing much more of this sort of thing. I have patience for many of the Byzantine regulations of Wikipedia, but not this... Clean up or ignore my nomination, as you wish. Katr67 (talk) 18:25, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • For future reference, doing that is strongly discouraged, as in this line from the CFD notice on the category page: "Please do not empty the category or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress." But don't feel bad -- you're far from the only person not to have noticed that. (It really ought to be in bold type...) And since in this case there's only the one article, no real harm was done, so I'm just leaving it where it is pending the outcome of this CFD. Cgingold (talk) 03:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I'm not suggesting a rename -- but I'd like to horn in here, anyway. :) To wit: That's a darn good question. If I hadn't gotten a bit sidetracked, I'm sure I would have asked that myself... Cgingold (talk) 13:36, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Look at the list article. I recall that it has 4 templates that have, with very few exceptions, only redlinks. Major problems in this area on many fronts. Having said that I'll point out that I have created templates with mostly red links. And I just finished changing the last red link in the largest template one to a blue link after well over a year. So this could be part of a plan to write articles. But with only red links and some questions about the notability or said articles ... Vegaswikian (talk) 21:33, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doesn't meet any of the criteria: please move to full CFD. Cgingold (talk) 13:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sure you proceeded in good faith, EncMstr, but you've unilaterally preempted the CFD process, so please restore the deleted category pending the outcome of this CFD. Thanks. Cgingold (talk) 03:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restored, but puzzled. I believe I was the only one who thought the category should be created. Everyone else so far says no—though I was convinced with the first comment. Why can't I just fix my error? —EncMstr (talk) 07:41, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, EncMstr. Now that I can see the edit history, I can understand your puzzlement -- I had misconstrued your comment about being the "unwitting creator". But seeing as you're the creator and sole editor, I agree that there's no reason not to Speedy Delete it. Sorry for the bother -- like I said, here and in the other CFD above, I'm purely concerned about protecting the CFD process. Cgingold (talk) 12:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Categories for candidates

The following categories are the first stage of a wider discussion on aspects of Category:Political candidates that was prompted by the discussions below regarding Marijuana Parties & candidates:

Future election candidates
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: convert to an administrative category and include only in the administrative structure. I will move it there, but if users insist on having it as part of the main category structure by moving it back, the consensus here is to delete it as a "main structure" category and it may be speedily deleted by contacting me or another admin and referencing this CfD. Though not discussed, users should consider using the category only on talk pages, like many other administrative categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Future election candidates (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • I'm wondering if perhaps this might make more sense as a hidden, administrative category? Notified creator with ((subst:cfd-notify)) Cgingold (talk) 00:40, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: There's a special template associated with this category, ((future election candidate)), which sits at the top of the article, so hiding the category wouldn't alter its utility in that way. The template's fairly big and prominent, so it would be pretty hard for the reader to miss. Bearcat (talk) 01:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the explanation, Bastique. (That's one of the reasons I like to notify cat creators when there's a CFD.) There wasn't anything about the intended use/purpose on the category page, so I had no idea why it was created. If it's purpose is purely to assist with vandalism patrolling, the solution is to move it out of the main category structure and into the administrative category structure. That should leave everybody happy! Cgingold (talk) 03:14, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, that might be the best solution here. Bearcat (talk) 16:59, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Category:Manhattan micropolitan area to Category:Manhattan metropolitan area
  • Category:Mankato-North Mankato micropolitan area to Category:Mankato-North Mankato metropolitan area
Nominator's rationale: Rename. These three Micropolitan Statistical Areas were designated as Metropolitan Statistical Areas by the Office of Management and Budget on November 20, 2008.[1] The article pages have been renamed and I think that the category should reflect this change as well. --Acntx (talk) 15:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Wenatchee metropolitan area to Category:Wenatchee-East Wenatchee metropolitan area
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The city of East Wenatchee was designated a principal city of the Wenatchee Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) by the Office of Management and Budget on November 20, 2008. The MSA is now officially known as the Wenatchee–East Wenatchee Metropolitan Statistical Area.[2] The article has been renamed and I thought that the category should reflect this change as well. --Acntx (talk) 15:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete after making lists, but there seems to be some consensus that some restructuring could be justified. Perhaps if those knowledgeable in the areas created some lists and/or a new categorization scheme, a renomination could occur. Once other users have an alternative to compare the current structure with, it might be easier to decide what is preferred. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Molluscs of Europe (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete (but not immediatelly. After making lists.) Your reason(s) for the proposed deletion. Snek01 (talk) 22:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons:

I am sorry I am not very good at English and not good at this process. Are your notes formal or factual? What should be the solution? (For example if a species live in for example 50 countries, should I start 50 categories and add them to the article? Should there be ~1500 species in Category:Molluscs of Europe and few thousands of marine species in that category? and so on.) (Is there necessary to present and evidence for nomination? It is not easy to present an evidence that such categorization of species is untenabille. YOU - if you vote - should consider all possibilities. Would you vote to keep a Category:123456abcdstupid if I will not present an evidence?) --Snek01 (talk) 23:48, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What is the right place to discuss? Feel free to move it there. --Snek01 (talk) 23:50, 11 December 2008 (UTC) This process in the only way how to delete any category at wikipedia. It is good place to discuss about deleting 12 categories. (I have put an information to 3 related wikiproject discussion pages.) --Snek01 (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if we should use this categorization scheme, there can be categories containing marine species according to oceans and/or seas. But it will not help to practically categorize all species anyway. Do you want to categorize only endemic species in this way? This categozation scheme could be good if a species would live on one or in very few countries. Such categories wear no much information, they can contain only those species which have articles in wikipedia allready, and they can be in alphabetical order in categories only. On the othe hand, a list can contain everything in whole the great diversity of possibilities - and such lists should be on wikipedia. Look at, for example List of non-marine molluscs of the Czech Republic. Should I add a (nonexisting) category Molluscs of the Czech Republic to all of those 243 species? If we accept a categorzation scheme according to a few areas, for example according to continents only, there should not be geographical categories for smaller areas for species. (Such large categories will be ovepopulated.) If we accept to categorize species according to all states, that will be too many categories in articles (containing too small information). If we accept combination of large areas and small areas categories for species, then such categories can not be complete. So why to waste so much time and resources to make something incomplete and unhelpful? There is no reason to categorize molluscs according geography. It is unsustainable, unmaintainable, it brings no much information to a reader. It is no possible to categorize all 80.000 species of gastropods in this way! (For example there is no categorization of Bacteria according to country. They are very different from molluscs, but you can see, that there no necessary to categorize everything according to country.) I would like to categorize molluscs in usefull way, but usefull way does not exist for mollusc in this case. --Snek01 (talk) 14:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Even if they SEEM useful for somebody, there is no reasoning to keep them. You EXPECT something from categories, but they have no value if their content is incomplete and chaotically organized. You can not recognize marine and non-marine species in category Mollusc of the Philippines, you can not recognize indigenous and non-indigenous ones, you can not recognize extinct and living ones, and so on. You can not check content of categories if you do not check all of its articles. There are very few categories meantime and they really are mainly for islands. It is because nobody tried to make a category for any other country, beacuse nobody supposed its usefulness. So does it mean that we should to have categories for islands only? Could not I rather do a List of non-marine gastropods of New Zealand and List of marine gastropods of New Zealand - there can be some additional useful notes. I can do such list. You wrote "some" sense. What the sense exactly is? Especially when I will make these two lists? --Snek01 (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's an excellent idea. You could leave a note at the relevant WikiProject -- hopefully there's one for Marine Biology, if not then WP Biology would be better than nothing. I have to run right now, or I'd take care of it myself. Cgingold (talk) 16:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not know about other editors but those two who supports deletion are active members of Wikiproject Gastropods. Alansohn, what certain information would like to know to be able to decide? --Snek01 (talk) 20:37, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Widespread species already have its own Category:Cosmopolitan species. No other geographic categories for molluscs are needed because nobody will look for a certain species living in a continent in a category with thousands of articles. --Snek01 (talk) 23:15, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: somewhat complicated, but for now merge the 3 categories for the specific years 2000, 2004, and 2006 into Category:Marijuana Party candidates for the Canadian House of Commons. Since everyone seemed to want a wider discussion of the vast Canadian structure of House of Commons candidates, this close is without prejudice to an immediate (or later) renomination of this category, even if the proposal is identical to the original one here proposed. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Marijuana Party candidates for the Canadian House of Commons (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • I of course agree with you that it's very important to use exact party names. But I wasn't quite certain about the right name for the category -- primarily because there seem to be several Canadian "Marijuana Parties". That's why the name I suggested is worded generically, so to speak. (One variant that crossed my mind was "Canadian marijuana parties politicians".) Are the provincial parties considered to be part of the national party? If so, one of your suggestions would probably be the solution. Cgingold (talk) 14:07, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm, hadn't thought of that angle. But then, if the parent is being renamed, wouldn't they all just be Category:Cannabis political parties in Canada? -choster (talk) 02:07, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's certainly a viable option. I was basically trying to incorporate the actual term that's used for all of the Canadian parties, but in the end I'm good with whichever name we settle on. Btw, it just occurred to me that this discussion re generic vs. Canadian terms is pretty similar to the discussion that's going on re Category:Tar sands & Category:Tar sands of Canada.

Propose renaming Category:Soccer players from Washington (state) to Category:Soccer players from Washington
Nominator's rationale: Rename. References to the state are not disambiguated in categories. See example CfD. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And, 'Category:Soccer players from Washington State' is very ambiguous with regard to Washington State University.--Mr Accountable (talk) 18:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the cat pages for Washington state should ultimately use the disambiguate 'Washington (state)'. I ll get around to it in the coming months but if someone wants to get to it sooner? Mayumashu (talk) 23:06, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Fuze to Category:Images of fuzes Category:Images of explosives fuses
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Contains only images so that needs to be added to the name. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:12, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well the main article does say "fuse (or fuze)..." so someone must use it. Johnbod (talk) 05:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
