Category:Documentary films about women (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Far too vague and broad of a category. It's also not clear to me that simply because a film is about a woman it is necessarily a feminist film. —Justin (koavf)TCM21:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Settlements of the Moravian Church

[edit]
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 all. — ξxplicit 23:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Populated places in the America (North) Province of the Moravian Church to Category:Settlements in the America (North) Province of the Moravian Church
Propose renaming Category:Populated places in the America (South) Province of the Moravian Church to Category:Settlements in the America (South) Province of the Moravian Church
Propose renaming Category:Populated places in the British Province of the Moravian Church to Category:Settlements in the British Province of the Moravian Church
Nominator's rationale: These were erroneously renamed "Populated places..." during the general change of "Settlement..." categories. There is relevant discussion with references at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_June_13#Leftover_cities.2C_towns_and_villages under the bullet point "Settlements of the Moravian Church". -Arb. (talk) 20:30, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To my mind they are accurate and hence unavoidably long. Here's why:
  1. "Settlements" is the proper name for these places (per the above).
  2. "Province" is the correct name for a self-governing geographical region of the Moravian Church
  3. "British", "America (North)" and "America (South)" are the official names used by the church for the Provinces for which categories are needed.
  4. It is necessary to mention the church by name to make the category fully self explanatory.
As for the suggestion to up-merge, please note that:
  • This is not the complete set of possible categories in the series. There are settlements in other provinces that do not (yet) have Wikipedia articles.
  • The provinces with categories likely have other settlements without Wikipedia articles.

Category:Cantonments and military bases of Pakistan

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: procedural close has already been done. Courcelles (talk) 19:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Cantonments and military bases of Pakistan into Category:Military facilities of Pakistan.
Nominator's rationale: The former is redundant and both are categorised under Category:Military facilities by country. Mar4d (talk) 05:28, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cantonments and military bases of Sindh & Category:Cantonments and military bases of Karachi

[edit]
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: merge all into Category:Military bases in Sindh. Deletion of this can be discussed at a new nomination, if desired. Courcelles (talk) 01:27, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Category:Cantonments and military bases of Sindh & Category:Cantonments and military bases of Karachi
Nominator's rationale: As you may notice, both these categories are subcats of the one I have proposed above for merging. These categories should be deleted as they are useless - and are based on administrative divisions of a country. You will notice that no country category under Category:Military facilities by country has divisional sub-cats within it i.e. the United States does not have a category like Category:Military facilities of New York City etc. Also, since this is a military category belonging to a country, you can't have something like this (as it doesn't make sense). You cannot have "Military facilities of New York City" but rather "Military facilities in New York City" - and no such subdivision cats exist in the first place anyway. So no justification for these sparsely populated categories Mar4d (talk) 05:28, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing wrong with having it split into provinces, but I do not see the reason. The Category:Military bases in Pakistan would not be populated itself; unless it is very large, then there is a rational reasoning to split it. Mar4d (talk) 04:29, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_July_28#Category:Videos_and_DVDs.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:40, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Videos and DVDs to Category:Home video
Nominator's rationale: I'm not 100% sure what this category even is, but it appears to be about home video releases. If so, why is it "videos and DVDs"? Videos are a part of what constitutes DVDs--it used to be the "V"--and there are several other home video formats; should this be named Category:Home videos, Betamaxes, Blu-Ray Discs, HD-DVDs, Laser Discs, and VHSes? Alternate proposal: delete as far too vague and broad in scope; thousands of video albums, theatrical films, television series, and documentaries have been released on home video. —Justin (koavf)TCM18:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:The Gossip albums to Category:Gossip albums

The result of the discussion was: rename. Courcelles (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Listed buildings in the Borders to Category:Listed buildings in the Scottish Borders
Nominator's rationale: Rename. "Borders" is ambiguous, and the category should follow the naming of its parents: Category:Scottish Borders and Category:Buildings and structures in the Scottish Borders. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:15, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep and do not rename. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:05, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Lower limb anatomy to Category:Lower limb
Nominator's rationale: I want to include some categories like Category:Hosiery that have an obvious connection to legs, but there's no suitable category. I could create another category Category:Lower limb, that would have this present category as a sub-category, but I feel that would be an over-categorisation, and a rename would be better. Fences&Windows 15:25, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto Category:Upper limb anatomy, as that could then include Category:Armwear. Fences&Windows 15:27, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. — ξxplicit 23:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Washington & Jefferson Presidents football players to Category:Washington & Jefferson College alumni
Nominator's rationale: Merge. This is a superfluous sub-category of Category:Washington & Jefferson College alumni. Per WP:CAT, categories "should be based on essential, "defining" features of article subjects." Being a member of the Washington & Jefferson College football team isn't defining. First, it's a relatively small program (currently NCAA Division III). Second, there aren't any people who are notable for their membership on the football team: all members in this category are notable for other things.--GrapedApe (talk) 05:35, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete as empty. — ξxplicit 23:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose deleting Category:Argyresthiidae
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Argyresthiidae actually redirects to subfamily Argyresthiinae. But the article defines this as a subfamily under Yponomeutidae, mentioning that Argyresthiidae is sometimes, but rarely, treated as a separate family in the literature. Since Wikipedia is thus not treating this as a separte family, then it does not need a category. Dawynn (talk) 01:39, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
