Propose renaming Category:People by city district or neighborhood to Category:People by neighborhood
Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure if this is overcategorization but at the very least, to match Category:Neighborhoods it should be renamed (and the subcategories changed afterwards). If this is kept, there are hundreds of subcategories from Category:Neighbourhoods by country (second and third levels) that should be included. Ricky81682 (talk) 10:06, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. the subcats were not included in this nomination, and are being kept per this nomination, however, this doesn't create any prejudice against a nomination of them. Courcelles (talk) 00:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People by city by occupation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Normally, the structure is based on Category:People by occupation and nationality, nationality, not location. Given this 2007 CSD and this 2009 CSD, there is at least some precedent that categorizing occupations at the city level (I'll leave state for another time) is overcategorization.

Category:Albums by genre and record label (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Hip hop albums by record label (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Jazz albums by record label (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This is a bad intersection, as sometimes acts are signed to labels that specialize in other music--e.g. pop punk/alternative rock Magnapop on hip hop label Priority Records or classic rock's Rare Earth on Motown. But the problem isn't just hypothetical as several Creedence Clearwater Revival and Velvet Underground albums (e.g. VU and Creedence Clearwater Revival) were put out on jazz labels Verve Records and Fantasy Records and are consequently now subcategorized under Category:Jazz albums. For what it's worth, of the 58 subcategories here, I have added Category:Albums by record label to about half of them--mostly jazz. Otherwise, I would suggest upmerging them to that category. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 03:34, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Numb3rs

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. Courcelles (talk) 00:51, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Numb3rs to Category:Numb3rs episodes
Nominator's rationale: Rename - with the exception of the article on the series itself, the contents are all episode articles. I don't see any need for a category named after the series so renaming this one to reflect its contents is probably the easiest solution. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 01:24, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I find that provision of the MOS silly and ignore it. The show is called Numb3rs, the article for the show is called Numb3rs, use Numb3rs for the category. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 22:37, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I concur with TCOP - Numb3rs is nothing more than the correct spelling of the show's name. So rename per nom (and keep the main article in the renamed cat, using the sort key to display it at the top of the page). Cgingold (talk) 01:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge with Category:Charter 77 signatories. Courcelles (talk) 00:53, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Charter 77 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - as with the similarly nominated Category:Charter 08 below there is simply no need for a category to hold only the article and the signers sub-cat. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 19:19, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems to me that in cases like this -- and there are many, usually for "members of" sub-cats -- the main article should be placed in that sub-category, using the sort key to display it at the top of the page, separate from the members/signatories. And yes, Delete. Cgingold (talk) 01:44, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Charter 08

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 Category:Charter 08 to Category:Charter 08 signatories. Courcelles (talk) 00:52, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Charter 08 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

:Category:Charter 08 signatories (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete both - absolutely no need for a category to hold the single article Charter 08. The signatories subcat seems unnecessary as well. There are only a very few "signers of..." categories and categories for signers of documents like this one have been deleted in the past. Signing this particular document doesn't appear to be the sort of achievement that warrants a category. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 00:30, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I wasn't aware of that. However, six months isn't a completely unreasonable margin between CFDs, especially ones which didn't draw a lot of attention. Would you agree that regardless of when it was last nominated there's no need for a category to hold nothing but the article and its signatories category, which has little or no chance of ever expanding? Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 03:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I said, I basically share your sentiments. That's why I said "Procedural Keep" instead of "Keep". Cgingold (talk) 03:26, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just read thru your question again and I'm wondering, are you suggesting that we delete Category:Charter 08 now -- but hold off on the other cat for a later CFD? That might be a reasonable thing to do. Cgingold (talk) 07:53, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I'll withdraw the nomination of the signatories category-although I still find it unnecessary-so that we can focus on the container cat. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 19:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
