Category:Shimizu Commercial High School footballers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Listify Nominator's rationale: Shimuzu Commercial is a high school famous for turning out footballers and this list is of importance to Football in Japan, but category pages form "networks" (not the right word, exactly) and to keep this page would justify having like pages for each high school, for each sport, very much overcategorization Mayumashu (talk) 23:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roy Orbison (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Inappropriate self-named category for a singer; not necessary per WP:OCAT. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 20:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Shania Twain category has more than twice the material that this one does. Otto4711 (talk) 14:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm. Well nothing in Category:Roy Orbison videos or Category:Roy Orbison songs appears to be in the template. Neither is Barbara Orbison. A total of 57+ articles are in it and the subcats. You might be able to find all those looking through his article, but a category can be easier. Lastly I don't think we're following that guideline very strictly elsewhere why start now?--T. Anthony (talk) 23:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually we have been following that guideline fairly strictly, since well over 200 eponymous categories for musicians have been deleted in the last year. All of Orbison's songs are linked through the main article through the link to Roy Orbison discography and the videos are linked as well. So is Barbara's article. Otto4711 (talk) 09:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm pretty skeptical of that, but I'll withdraw as I don't know enough about the issue.--T. Anthony (talk) 01:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Female golfers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We don't usually categorize by gender, and there is no corresponding Category:Male golfers. If the Golfers By Tour category is sufficient to identify male golfers, it should work just as well for female golfers. Powers T 16:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It seems to be well populated. Also there are multiple categories for female athletes in Category:Sportswomen by sport (Guyinblack25 talk 17:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Saudi record labels to Category:Saudi Arabian record labels

Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects

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: no consensus for anything to be done at the present. Dividing into sub-categories doesn't require CfD anyway. BencherliteTalk 08:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects to Category:Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category sits at the top level category Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects. The name of this category is confusing. All WikiProjects are in Wikipedia: prefix namespace. That confusion is shown by the subcategories presently under Wikipedia WikiProjects. Since a purpose of this category is to contain Wikipedia WikiProjects defined in terms of a particular Wikipedia maintenance task, that is what this category name should reflect. If there are other WikiProject Wikipedia-specific matters not covered by a subject area (such as architecture) or not covered by Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects, then another top level category under Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects can be created to cover that situation.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Category:Russian-South Koreans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Not of great utility. Only one member. This, that and the other [talk] 11:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is a rather niche category. I don't see it being populated with many more articles. Not to say there aren't any Russian-South Koreans, but I doubt there would be too many article on notable Russian-South Koreans on the English Wikipedia.

Propose renaming Category:Neighborhoods in Mexico City to Category:Colonias of Mexico City
Nominator's rationale: "Neighborhood" is being used as an English translation of "colonia", but "colonia" is more strictly defined than "neighborhood", and not all the articles currently included in the category are actually colonias. The Spanish Wikipedia distinguishes between Categoría:Colonias de la Ciudad de México (Colonias of Mexico City) and Categoría:Localidades del Distrito Federal de México (Localities in the Federal District of Mexico).

Propose renaming Category:Canada's Sports Hall of Fame to Category:Inductees of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame
Nominator's rationale: Rename to this or suchlike. The category is used for the inductees, so I think it a misnomer to call it by its current name. Kolindigo (talk) 01:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Conway Public Schools (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category was created approximately 1-1/2 years ago and todate still contains only a single article of the same name. The category serves no purpose. The category was also categorized in such a way that no other article would ever meet the requirements of the current categorization. Dbiel (Talk) 01:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't think a single article warrants a category. The article would be better off in a parent category. (Guyinblack25 talk 17:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]
The article and the category are both currently in the same subcategories Category:School districts in Arkansas and Category:Conway, Arkansas
(note: the article is in one additional subcategory) Dbiel (Talk) 01:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing to upmerge. The category currently simply creates duplicate entries for its single article in the higher level categories (one as a sub category and one as an article Dbiel (Talk) 01:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
