Propose renaming Category:Giant Records (Warner Bros. subsidiary label) albums to Category:Giant Records (Warner) albums and Category:Giant Records (Warner Bros. subsidiary label) artists->Category:Giant Records (Warner) artists.

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match simplified article name of Giant Records (Warner). Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 21:34, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete, noting that the project userbox is in both Category:WikiProject Food and drink templates and Category:WikiProject user templates. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 21:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Not very well populated with only 3 items. Already better covered by Category:Drink user templates and Category:Food user templates. WOSlinker (talk) 20:46, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - it is supposed to be for the project templates ("This user is a member of the Food & Drink WikiProject") while those cats are for the user templates ("This use likes food" or "This user likes to drink") --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 15:02, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The project userbox is already included in Category:WikiProject Food and drink templates. Seems a bit of an overkill to have a separate category just for the projects userbox. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:36, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Duplication of existing category and even if it was not, it is OCAT. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:A.S.C. member to Category:American Society of Cinematographers members

Nominator's rationale: Rename to make it plural and expand the abbreviation. Darwinek (talk) 00:08, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can live with either listifying or renaming per nom here. Since the category contains the list, a few of which are redlinks, I'm slightly more in favour of making an article out of it (or appending to the ASC's article, it's short enough), but failing that getting rid of the acronym is a good plan.

Rename per nominator if kept, but no objection to listification (whether as a new standalone list or as a list embedded in the head article). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to expand abbreviation, but I too am unsure of its real merits. Convert list to an article List of Presidents of American Society of Cinematographers (or a section appended to main article), which might itself form the basis for a sub-category. I presume that being president is a significant distinction, where membership may not be. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge certainly to Category:Levites as the first one is not otherwise in a Levites category (but is in several rabbis subcats). This seems to be OCAT via intersection of 2 unrelated properties. (I am not endorsing Category:Levites: that would be a separate cfd.) Occuli (talk) 11:45, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge per nominator. As the nominator pointed out elsewhere (see his link), there is no inherent connection between being a Cohen or Levi and being a rabbi. Debresser (talk) 13:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge per nominator. Being a Rabbi is a matter of study and ordination, being a Kohen or Levite is a matter of parentage. The two categories should remain separated. -- Avi (talk) 23:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Levites per nom. All these people are already included in Category:Rabbis or one of its subcategories, so it doesn't make sense to me that they should be further classified as Kohen, Levi or Yisrael. This just seems to be an unnecessary classification. Yoninah (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. I am closing as "delete" instead of "upmerge" to avoid creating unnecessary recategorization work. Of the 21 article in this category, 16 already are in Category:Kohanim or Category:People of Kohanim descent. The remaining 5 articles—Abraham Isaac Kook, Dovid Leibowitz, Irving Greenberg, Ishmael ben Elisha ha-Kohen and Nesanel Quinn—may be added to either category as appropriate. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 22:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to Category:Kohanim or perhaps Category:People of Kohanim descent – OCAT trivial intersection. Occuli (talk) 11:53, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that Rabbinic Kohanim is a useful sub-category of Kohanim or People of Kohanim descent, because that status gives them both limitations (such as the prohibition against going into cemeteries or doing funerals) or rights (such as "duchening": delivering the Birkat Kohanim/Aaronide blessing) which has an impact on their roles as rabbis. Plus, one of the roles of the ancient Kohanim, according to the Bible, was to teach the differences between the "pure" and the "impure" (and by extension, between right and wrong), part of the role of the modern rabbi, so it is an interesting sub-category, to see which kohanim are continuing the ancient roles. Some rabbis have had increased followings because of their identities as kohanim. Finally, there is a category of Rabbinic Levi'im, a sub-category of Levi'im, so it would make sense to have Rabbinic Kohanim as a sub-category of Kohanim.
