Category:Australian statutory rapists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category contains biographical articles on living people guilty of committing criminal offences. All offenders were given sentences of 5 years or less in all cases. As the category is used primarily to hold articles on non-notable criminals, I propose its deletion. Longhair\talk 23:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Cases like that would not seem to meet WP:N and the only category being discussed here is the Australian one where the term "statutory" rape is not commonly used. -- Mattinbgn\talk 07:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Lesbian periodicals to Category:Lesbian magazines

Category:Democratic socialists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Democratic socialism is not an ideology, its a term which is used in widely different ways. The cat is superflous to Category:Socialists and Category:Social democrats. Soman (talk) 15:50, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Democratic socialism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: The entry sentence at the category page is a pure OR projection. In reality, there is no uniform 'democratic socialist' ideology, and it is not a term that is clearly distinct from social democracy. I suggest a merge into Category:Socialism. Soman (talk) 15:54, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
useful work could be accomplished by subdividing the 173 articles directly in Category:socialism into appropriate subcats. No useful work at all in doing deletion nominations and arguments. Hmains (talk) 03:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Buffalo, NY restaurants to Category:Restaurants in Buffalo, New York
Nominator's rationale: Rename to expand state abbreviation and to fit with the standard formula at Category:Restaurants by city BencherliteTalk 11:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. but Question Are any notable? We cannot encourage articles on every restaurant in every town. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (noted that I disagree with Vegas on the main article thing, but I'm just closing, so...). Kbdank71 18:18, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Medium capacity system to Category:Medium-capacity rail transport system
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Context is rail transport. Sardanaphalus (talk) 10:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article is clear enough. There is no 'typical category causing over-categorization'. Hmains (talk) 03:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Newton Bromswold, England (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Newton Bromswold is a very small village - a single notable person was born there in the seventeenth century and I doubt if this more than 2 or 3 entries will ever appear here. I have taken the liberty to empty this category. Saga City (talk) 08:29, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:National operas (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is not clearly defined. Is it for operatic works (e.g the Polish 'national opera' The Haunted Manor)? Or opera companies (people)? Or opera houses (buildings)? What is the definition of 'national'? If it is for companies or houses, is it for those that have 'national' in their name (rather than 'State' etc.)? Is it for national in contrast to international institutions (e.g. English National Opera rather than the Royal Opera)? Rather than answer these complicated questions wouldn't it be easier to delete it? We already have the viable and clearly defined Category:Opera houses, Category:Opera companies, Category:Opera organizations etc. and their subcategories. Kleinzach 01:38, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
