Domestic Australian domestic cricketers by state team

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. While this is indeed confusingly named, it would be inaccurate to label many of these or other cricket teams by nicknames. Another look at this entire tree might be in order.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: for clarity, for those not that familiar with Australian domestic cricket, that what is meant here are players who have played for these state teams and not just any cricketer who is native to or resides in the state in question, regardless of if they ve represented the state in cricket or not. (Note:team nicknames are used in the names of the corresponding article pages of each.) Mayumashu (talk) 23:51, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Scheduled elections in Australia

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 as nominated. There were several suggestions thrown around, all of which seem to run into more problems than the proposed rename. Consensus here was clear that the current name was not suitable, and the best alternative was to rename the category back to Category:Future elections in Australia. — ξxplicit 18:48, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Scheduled elections in Australia to Category:Future elections in Australia
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Apparently these are not of the scheduled variety and this should be renamed back. The first discussion was here and the DRV is here. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't start with "upcoming", it's from Mike Selinker's nomination in the first discussion. I'd have said "Coming". I prefer "Future" to "Scheduled". I'm sure that there's a better expression yet to be offered. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry for missing that "upcoming" had been Mike's suggestion ... but "coming" is also not a good choice of word for this purpose, because it has an alternative meaning in England, relating to the sort of extra-curricular activities listed in the revelations here. The category relates to elections, not e******tions. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just out of interest, how does "future" violate WP:CRYSTAL where "upcoming" and "forthcoming" do not? Frickeg (talk) 01:46, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I said moderately okay. I would prefer something with no prognostication involved, though.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of the words suggested so far, considering comments, plus http://thesaurus.com/browse/upcoming, I think I prefer Anticipated slightly ahead of Expected. Future may not be really so bad, but it does feel likely to invite fanciful entries i the distant future. "Anticipated" feels to me to imply verifiable anticipation by newspaper commentary. On the other hand, I am increasingly warming to the idea of Delete in favour of putting all future, present and past elections into Category:Elections in Australia. The encyclopedia is supposed to be timeless, isn't it? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Coming has other meanings, as above
  2. Upcoming is regional slang, as outlined above
  3. Forthcoming is completely inappropriate, because its normal usage is to mean "candid and willing to cooperate". Category:Forthcoming elections would need to be balanced by a Category:Unforthcoming elections, for elections where candidates were not open about their intentions. (Imagine that, eh? Politicians not telling the whole truth??)
  4. Anticipated and Expected don't work either, because those words comment on the degree of interest of the observer. (I neither anticipate nor expect next year's election in Ruritania, even though the date is firmly scheduled, because it is a matter of complete indifference to me whether they elect a troupe of circus monkeys to run their country, or stick with the usual mendacious and avaricious humans)
All this word-juggling seems to have arisen because somebody somewhere decided that the word "future" contravenes WP:CRYSTAL. That's a bizarre reading of WP:CRYSTAL, and as Frickeg pointed out, it's the big unanswered question. WP:CRYSTAL explicitly allow for future events, subject to certain conditions, e.g. "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place". So what's the problem?
Are some editors afraid that a category containing the word "future" will be a license to create articles about, say, German federal elections in the 22nd century, or Seychellois elections when the islands are underwater due to global warming? If so, that's a non-issue, because WP:CRYSTAL quite clearly rules out that sort of speculative article. Categories exist to categorise existing articles, not as a license to create any article which would fit into the category. For example, we have Category:Butchers and Category:Hairdressers, but that's not a license to populate either category with articles on topics which don't meet our inclusion criteria, such as the hairdresser and butcher in my village.
Please, folks, let's warp this up before more such categories end up at DRV to provoke rants about CFD decisions being a few pork pies short of a picnic. "Future" does not contravene WP:CRYSTAL, and its meaning is clear. Just use it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tend to agree with this - I suspect I would have agreed with Mike on the infrastructure question. But this just highlights the dangers of trying to apply blanket consistency without first considering whether the new word/term/template/category is appropriate for all situations - in most cases it is not. There is nothing wrong with having different words for utterly unrelated categories (like infrastructure and elections). As far as I'm concerned "future" remains the best option for elections. Frickeg (talk) 02:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:People of the Sydney Northern Beaches to Category:People from the Northern Beaches (Sydney)
Nominator's rationale: to match with corresponding article page, named Northern Beaches (Sydney); note that in the article, this suburb is consistently referred to as ' the Northern Beaches' Mayumashu (talk) 23:22, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see that you were recently creating an extended category substructure, dividing the large Category:People from Sydney. Dividing up the large category is not such a bad idea, but doing so by areas may not be the best way to go. Did you consider dividing on decade of birth, or on profession/reason for notability? Creating subcategories is important, but I think it would be better done if discussed before implementation. Does a suitable forum for categorisation development exist? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:53, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Union College, New York alumni to Category:Union College alumni
Nominator's rationale: Merge. The merge target was created because I did not know why I couldn't find the category. The state is unneeded for disambiguation purposes and tehre appears no reason not to intuitively match the article's title. Alansohn (talk) 21:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:State University of New York at Stony Brook alumni to Category:Stony Brook University alumni

The result of the discussion was: merge. Courcelles (talk) 04:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming merging Category:Solar energy projects to Category:Solar power
Nominator's rationale: Rename Merge. Solar power is using solar energy to produce electricity. Right now the proposed target is a redirect to solar energy. I believe that a significant number of the articles in Category:Solar energy belong in Category:Solar power. This would allow a reorganization of many articles into a more logical grouping. Yes, I could undo the redirect, but this category still needs renaming. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:17, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is not a sorting category for discographies (such as Category:Discographies by country or Category:Discographies by genre), rather a container of the discographies of record labels. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 21:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep, but purge all except those about specific fictional casinos. Category:Gambling films covers the rest of the films; no objection on a similar books category.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fictional casinos (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete or something. If you look at the contents, you have films and books based in fictional casinos mixed in with some articles about fictional casinos. One option would be to purge the category of articles not specifically about casinos. Another option could be to create Category:Plots that include fictional casinos. If we purge, does the category meet OC small or is it part of a series (fictional places)? Vegaswikian (talk) 21:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Mixed Bag: I see what you mean. 2 of the articles are stand-alone articles on a fictional casino from a series and I'm writing an article to bring that up to three 2 are books which feature casino-related plots. Four are from a James Bond franchise where the name of the work is also the name of the fictional casino. And I'm not sure how to group 1.RevelationDirect (talk) 23:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with a Minor Purge: I would favor pulling out The Casino Murder Case, Fools Die and maybe Casino (film) because I got caried away by adding them. That would leave the cat with 6 or 7 articles plus the 1 I'm adding which makes it viable and fits with the Fictional restaurant, Fictional hotels and similar cats. (Creating a casino plot instead would be viable but have the same issue of needing to drop some articles.)RevelationDirect (talk) 23:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Schlösser and castles in Bavaria (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. An appropriate Category:Castles in Bavaria already exists, and "Schlösser" is not an English word. (The German words "Schlösser" and "Burgen" both correspond to the English "castles".) Cyfal (talk) 20:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 21:37, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Photovoltaics by country to Category:Solar power by country
Nominator's rationale: Another energy splinter cat by Mac/Nopetro, created as if Category:Solar power by country did not already exist. Sub-categories Photovoltaics plants in Hungary and Photovoltaics plants in the Czech Republic (created by an unrelated banned sock account) may need to be deleted per WP:SMALLCAT. Even if they're kept, I believe they can be adequately housed in the merged category, which would now combine solar power manufacturing and generation on a per country basis. If you're searching by country, this would make finding info easier. Yes, if we really need to split Solar cell manufacturing and power generation on a per country basis somewhere down the road, we can revisit that. We don't, now, judging by the lack of content in the source category.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even then, we'd need to call it Photovoltaic (or solar cell) manufacturing by country, for clarity's sake. Speaking of which, there isn't a lot of clarity as to when and why we call categories photovoltaic or solar cell. We'll need to look at that soon, I think. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yea, in looking at the solar power/energy differences and the photovoltaic/solar cell boundaries, I'm getting a headache. Photovoltaics appear to be nothing more then packages of solar converting devices. A bit over simplified, but I believe a correct interpretation. If correct, this may lead to modifying the parenting of a few categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Economic institutions of Spain (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Banned user Nopetro had issues with the English language and logic, and it's hard to tell what's more to blame for this. The two articles in the nominated category do not correspond to other organizations in what should be the master category, Category:Economic institutions, had Nopetro understood how to place this correctly in a category tree. Comisión Nacional de Energía (Spain) and Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía are energy utilities/regulators and not economic institutions. With his poor grasp of English, Nopetro might have thought "economic" meant that these organizations dealt with energy economization, as that seemed to be his main interest in populating this category. Anyway, delete as a misnamed, ill-conceived and unnecessary category: the two articles are correctly categorized elsewhere. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
