Category:Stor-Oslo Lokaltrafikk (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Company is now defunct (replaced by Ruter) Arsenikk (talk) 20:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the sake of clarification; I am the creator of the category. Stor-Oslo Lokaltrafikk (SL) was a public transport administrator that was merged to form Ruter as of 1 Jaunary 2008. The category contains all the companies that were under contract with SL for operating public transport in Akershus. Because of this I feel that the category has served its purpose well, but that Category:Public transport in Akershus is a better way of organising the articles. Perhaps I should have nominated a merger instead. Sorry for the rather non-clarifying rationale. Arsenikk (talk) 13:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Kbdank71 14:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: Rename - the disambiguation does not seem necessary. The latter two proposed categories are currently disambiguation pages which lead to categories for Bolivian "departments" (districts), but I think that in other similar cases the addition "(city)" has been deemed unnecesary.

Propose renaming Category:Songs from Paris to Category:Songs from Paris (musical)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the lead article Paris (musical) and reduce ambiguity that these are songs that originated in one or another city named Paris. Otto4711 (talk) 18:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator, I concur, although should be Category:Songs from Paris (1928 musical) The 2003 musical is utterly NN, and I'll prob nom for deletion soon. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 20:50, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Alcotts (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete as eponymous overcategorization. Category is not needed for two people and one place. BencherliteTalk 16:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 7 family members and a house is more like it, and is probably now a weak keep - nice work, Cgingold (although I had notified the creator already, and you didn't!). If kept, rename per Cgingold. BencherliteTalk 09:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Er, quite right -- I saw that you had already done so, but forgot to come back and delete that. :) Cgingold (talk) 14:06, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2001 Windows-only games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category seems redundant as there are many similar categories . MrMarmite (talk) 13:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
was looking for some advice on how to do that in one fell swoop, but thought I would wait until feedback from this one MrMarmite (talk) 16:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Health specialties (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Rationale: Unlike "medical specialties", I believe the term "health fields" is far more widely used than "health specialties" (this is borne out by G-hits). Notified creator with ((subst:cfd-notify)) Cgingold (talk) 13:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Right, I completely forgot to mention that so-called "main article" -- which I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn was written by the very same editor who created the category. Basically, I'm concerned that readers may not grasp that "health specialties" refers to major subject areas, not just narrow sub-divisions. Cgingold (talk) 23:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fiorentina 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: rename both as nominated. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Fiorentina managers to Category:ACF Fiorentina managers
Propose renaming Category:Fiorentina players to Category:ACF Fiorentina players
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The club's name is ACF Fiorentina. The main category for the club is Category:ACF Fiorentina. Therefore, its subcategories should also be entitled Category:ACF Fiorentina managers and Category:ACF Fiorentina players. – PeeJay 09:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Dynamo Dresden players, for example - they have been known as SG Dynamo, 1. FC Dynamo, and now SG again. It's impossible to cover all name changes (like the Small Heath/Birmingham City example below), but when a club's "initials" change, and the name without them is unambiguous, then this works as a solution. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not suggesting separate categories, but if we can have a generic name that covers all stages of a club's existence, isn't that more accurate? ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we should go with generic names - an encyclopedia should be specific. пﮟოьεԻ 57 10:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the generic name unambiguously represents the subject, then it's more encyclopedia, I wouldn't have thought (cf. WP:COMMONNAME). Being specific is fine, but this category doesn't cover the specifics of Fiorentina post-2002 (and nor should it), so its name can be changed to reflect that. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but there is no such article as Fiorentina or AC Fiorentina - I believe categories should always match their parent article title exactly (e.g. Manchester United F.C. players, not Manchester United players). пﮟოьεԻ 57 10:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why, though? That doesn't strike me as a very compelling - nor, dare I say it, encyclopedic - reason. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:50, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it does help to identify that the category and the article refer to the same subject. – PeeJay 11:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The category header and the category tree should do that. In any case, it's not as if the names are so different that it's unclear. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 12:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The subcategories don't even match the parent category, or the other subcategory within the parent category. They should all be the same, regardless of the name we choose, but my opinion is that they should all match the current title of the main article. – PeeJay 12:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Albums in the 33⅓ series (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This is not a defining characteristic of the articles so categorized. It seems like a blatant promotional category for the book. I have no idea why the previous CFD wasn't closed as delete as there are precedents and guidelines that support the deletion of this category. SamuelWantman 07:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:UTSPH alumni to Category:University of Texas School of Public Health alumni

Category:Jewish conservatives & Category:Jewish American conservatives

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, no merge. Jc37 brings up a valid point about needing sources, which is difficult if not impossible with categories; a referenced list would work better to satisfy BLP. Kbdank71 19:58, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest deletion - Category:Jewish conservatives & Category:Jewish American conservatives
Nominator's rationale - these categories are far too broad and speculative (for example, would a category such as Category:Jewish liberals also be acceptable?). Category:Jewish conservatives is empty, and I suggest merging or transferring the names in Category:Jewish American conservatives in to Category:Jewish American Republicans (United States) if applicable. --Wassermann (talk) 04:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to correct typo. Kbdank71 19:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:People from Sapnish Fork, Utah to Category:People from Utah County, Utah
Nominator's rationale: Merge, was originally tagged for speedy correction of the spelling mistake ("Sapnish" to "Spanish"); see initial discussion below. Upon reflection, I support a merge to its parent, as the city Spanish Fork, Utah is relatively small, somewhere less than 25,000. If kept, rename to Category:People from Spanish Fork, Utah. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
