Category:First Employment Contract (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Rename to Category:Employment law in France. Current name is too narrow, proposed name will allow inclusion of a broader array of articles and is basically more consistent with the general pattern for categories (i.e. "X by/in country).

Category:People executed by unspecified method

- The result of the discussion was: delete. Kbdank71 15:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:People executed by unspecified method (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete or convert to administrative category. This is one of the those "remainder" categories that group articles that haven't been otherwise categorized within a scheme, in this case within Category:Executions by method. I suggest deletion, but if it's felt that this is a useful category for administrative purposes to help people find articles for which they can perform research to determine method of execution, I suggest converting the category to have it only apply to talk pages in the same way Category:Date of birth missing and others are used. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If you take a look at Category:Executed people you'll see that there are no articles directly in that category -- they've all been placed in various sub-categories. That's why I said I don't think it would make sense to start doing that. Cgingold (talk) 00:18, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There would be no need for an upmerge if we deleted it. If you check the articles, they are all as Cgingold suggests in other subcategories of Category:Executed people, such as a nationality category, the country/authority that did the executions, the century of the execution, etc. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Filming location
- 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 to pluralize, no consensus on deletion. Kbdank71 15:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Filming location to Category:Filming locations
- Nominator's rationale: Categories usually have the plural version, so this should probably be "Filming locations". An alternative would be "location shooting", although maybe that should be created as a separate category, with "filming locations" as a subcategory. —Snigbrook 20:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - this category is extremely broad in conception. Anywhere is potentially a filming location and places are not generally defined by whether a film or TV series was filmed there. Two of the three sub-categories should probably also be deleted, so this has no value as a container category either. Otto4711 (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Category:Enforcers of the NHL (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete No objective criteria for inclusion in this category; this is the sort of thing that leads to lame and drawn out edit wars based solely on editors' personal opinions. There are also some (mild) BLP issues, since the image of an enforcer is not a uniformly positive one. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 15:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- DELETE: The term 'enforcer' is an arbitrary, subjective label. ccwaters (talk) 15:51, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Previously deleted as Category:Enforcers I believe. -Djsasso (talk) 15:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The term enforcer is use in the NHL by everyone and even by the players themself. The edit part is based on the numbers on fights in the NHL and people who were considered as ENFORCER. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bls2009 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is calling someone an enforcer is point of view. Where do you draw the line, when is someone an enforcer and when are they just someone who fights now and then. It's not a quantifiable position. -Djsasso (talk) 15:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Enforcer is a guy with big mouth and fight, I can see that by the number of major penalties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bls2009 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- But how big a mouth, how many penalty minutes? One person might consider Player X an enforcer and another person might not consider him to be. The problem is that its subjective. -Djsasso (talk) 16:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes it's true, you can't judge ou big his mouth is ! but just look the number of pages dleed for the categorie ENFORCERS, you can see that it's just not normal that a categorie ENFORCER isn't exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bls2009 (talk • contribs)
- But that is the problem, alot of the players you added most people would not consider an enforcer. Claude Lemieux for example is known as a Pest not an Enforcer. -Djsasso (talk) 16:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I would say the same thing about Chris Simon. He's washed up now, but he was a skilled forward. ccwaters (talk) 16:07, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see what's the matter ! Just keep it, enforcer is part of the game you can't denied it ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bls2009 (talk • contribs)
- I agree its part of the game, but on wikipedia when you add something to a category you have to be able to back up with proof that someone is what the category says they are. The problem with enforces is that one source might call someone an enforcer and another source might not. This is especially a problem for enforcers because of the negative conotation that comes with it. -Djsasso (talk) 16:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but we can gather the term Pest and Enforcer, that the same kind of play
Whatever do what you want, I can see that in wikipedia it's not as free as it is said... i gave up
- Delete: Recreation of previously deleted category. – Nurmsook! talk... 16:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Per ccwaters in that it is just a subjective label. Also per the previous deletion discussion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fix Image->File in the image issue category names
- 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 images to files, fair use to non-free, and prepend with Wikipedia. (and leave redirects) Kbdank71 15:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Namespace change from Image: to File:. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:39, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note by nominator (made after the discussion already started): I had merely replaced the word "image" with "file" - this should probably be the focus of the discussion. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:45, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Od Mishehu: I disagree about what the focus should be. Renaming of categories is a fairly costly process, since it often means a lot of edits to both pages and templates. Thus we should take the chance to apply all improvements at the same time, like update the names according to the latest guidelines and practises. --David Göthberg (talk) 18:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No objections to the basic premise, except we should exchange "fair use" with non-free while we are at it. So make it Category:Files with no non-free use rationale, Category:Unused non-free images and Category:Replaceable non-free files instead. Remember to update Template:CSD/Subcategories + the relevant templates and make sure categories with the new name get created for all the "pending" dated categoreis so nothing is left in redlinked category limbo. --Sherool (talk) 15:42, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I see you used the word "unused" instead of "orphaned". I think I agree with that, "unused" is clearer. (Although orphaned works fairly well for me too, but is probably somewhat cryptic for Wikipedia beginners.) I also see you forgot to change "images" to "files" in your example above, but I guess that was just a mistake. If we also prepend "Wikipedia" as I suggest below, then Category:Orphaned fairuse images should be renamed to Category:Wikipedia unused non-free use files, right? I use "non-free use" here instead of just "non-free", since as I understand it that category is for files that supposedly do have a fair use rationale on their file page. (But I just checked, some files in that category lacks a fair use rationale.) This also means I suggest renaming Category:Replaceable fair use images to Category:Wikipedia replaceable non-free use files. --David Göthberg (talk) 16:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah The missing "file" was an oversight, think we are mostly in agreement then. I kinda think "unused non-free use files" is a bit unnessesary though. If a file with a non-free copyright tag is not used for 7 days it's speedy deleted per criteria #5, the presense or absense of a use rationale doesn't rely matter in that case. --Sherool (talk) 17:30, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I slightly prefer "non-free use" over "non-free", but it doesn't matter that much to me. But one thing I would like to point out is: I think it is very okay to have long category names for administrative categories, and especially this kind that only are shown on file pages. So I prefer to make them clear instead of short. I hope someone else will comment so we get more info on how people interpret those names. --David Göthberg (talk) 07:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename, and prepend with "Wikipedia". I agree with changing the word "image" to "file". I don't have a point of view on if we should change "fair use" to "non-free use". (Our article on fair use doesn't have a single occurrence of the word "non-free", and the Google test shows that "fair use" is much more common. But I see that our guidelines use both terms, and I see that "non-free use" might have the benefit of making people think twice about using such content.) Anyway, if we don't change "fair use" then at least see to that "orphaned fairuse" is changed to "orphaned fair use" with a space, so all "fair use" are spelled the same. And while where at it: As I understand the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Special conventions for Wikipedia-related categories then these file categories are clearly "administrative categories" and thus should nowadays have the word "Wikipedia" in the beginning of the name. Thus for instance Category:Orphaned fairuse images should be renamed to Category:Wikipedia orphaned fair use files or Category:Wikipedia orphaned non-free use files. --David Göthberg (talk) 17:56, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Files in those categories are pending deletion for non-compliance with the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria policy, using "fair use" to refeer to such content in the context of internal policies have long been depreciated since it confuses the issue. A lot of people know what fair use is (or think they do), and would often argue that their use coply with fair use law when told that images did not comply with the relevant Wikipedia policies. Using a different term helps empasis that even if an image is legaly fair use it doesn't nessesarily comply with the Wikipedia excemption policy for using contnet that is not free licensed. --Sherool (talk) 08:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sherool: Ah, I see your point. Okay, so I think you are right, naming them "non-free use" is probably better than "fair use". --David Göthberg (talk) 16:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Kbdank71 14:38, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I realize that this has consensus, but I'm relisting it anyway to get more input. These categories are used by many editors (and possibly bots), and I don't want to make this change based upon a discussion that only had three people. If it helps, I think changing image to file is a good idea, although I have no opinion on prepending "wikipedia" or changing fair use to non-free. --Kbdank71 14:38, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename prepending Wikipedia and spelling fair use one way. Defer the fair use vs. non-free discussion to another discussion since that is more complicated and does not affect all of these categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Why defer the desission on fair use vs non-free? It's not that complicated. Those categories relate to files that fail to comply with the Wikipedia:Non-free content policy, they are all contained in Category:All non-free media because they use a copyright tag listed in Category:Non-free image copyright tags (hmm, guess this should be changed to file copyright tags or some such one of these days). I think there is a rater strong presidence for using "non-free" in this context, and reserving "fair use" to when we are actualy refeering to the law stuff rater than Wikipedia policies. --Sherool (talk) 16:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support renaming as discussed above, that is: replacing 'Images' with 'Files', replacing 'fair use' with 'non-free use', and adding 'Wikipedia' to the names. All seem like sensible changes. Robofish (talk) 03:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support rename ("images" to "files") as per all above. Consistency in our naming conventions is good. No opinion on "fair use" vs. "non-free", though I do concur that it probably should be a separate discussion. -kotra (talk) 00:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support all renaming options: "Wikipedia", "file", and "non-free". Sensible, and lets do them all at once. Powers T 13:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename: "file", "non-free". Neutral on the "Wikipedia" part. -Drilnoth (talk) 02:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename: 'image' → 'file' and 'fair use' → 'non-free'. Neutral on prepending 'Wikipedia'; the inconsistency between Category:Wikipedia images and Category:Non-free images makes it hard to choose. –Black Falcon (Talk) 22:48, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Propose renaming Category:Train songs to Category:Train (band) songs
- Propose renaming Category:Train albums to Category:Train (band) albums
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Adding a disambiguation for clarity purposes, so it's not thought that these songs or albums are ones "about" choo-choo trains. The article about the band is Train (band), so renaming the categories will also match the categories to the article name. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:44, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
