Propose renaming Category:Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to Category:Universities and colleges accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
Nominator's rationale: The category name is currently unclear, this rename would clarify it. TorriTorri(talk/contribs) 20:17, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose upmerging Category:Fossil derived gases to Category:Fossil fuels and Category:Fuel gas
Nominator's rationale: This one from User:Nopetro (in one of his former sockpuppet identities) is one that I'm less sure about. But it seems to me to be a small and arbitrary sub-set of Fossil fuels, based on the fact that at normally occurring temperatures and pressures, these fuels are gases. Does this not open the door to Category:Fossil derived liquids? Also, I'm not at all sure "fossil derived" is the most accurate term. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:College of William and Mary to Category:The College of William & Mary
Nominator's rationale: this is closer to this university's official name which is 'The College of William & Mary in Virginia', and the article page is named this - The College of William & Mary. (I ll later list subcategories for this category as speedy renames, should this nomination pass.) Mayumashu (talk) 16:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Alabama Sports Hall of Fame (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Nominating per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 May 23, which closed as relist. Procedural nomination only, I am neutral. Tim Song (talk) 16:49, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oops, I thought I found the mother lode and got excited. Thanks for the correction. But to name a few: Category:Aviation Hall of Fame of New Jersey inductees, Category:Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame, Category:Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Category:Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame inductees. Still think it might be worthwhile listing this more broadly than here to establish a precedent.--Esprqii (talk) 19:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I guess what I've been trying to say, perhaps inaptly, is that (1) in my opinion, the WP:OCAT#AWARD guideline (which I, too, cited) shouldn't apply to hall of fame categories; and that (2) a more sweeping guideline about minor halls of fame in general, such as sub-country specific ones, should be discussed to draw in a possibly wider audience who may not see this one. Perhaps this is not the place to make such a suggestion of widening the scope, but it seems like we could avoid these case-by-case discussions if there were a wider discussion and/or better guideline. Since people keep making the categories, I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't think it could be made clearer. --Esprqii (talk) 23:37, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I know you're responding to others' comments that are largely relying on past deletion discussions, but I presented above a rationale for deletion that doesn't rest upon precedent, which I consider beside the point in a sense. Even if state sports halls of fame categories had never been discussed before, no one has made any showing that this particular hall of fame merits a category, let alone that all halls of fame merit categories, particularly if you're trying to lump in non-sports halls of fame for some reason. I simply don't see any reason to think that all state halls of fame are necessarily created equal; even limited to sports, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, for example, seems of a different character than the Alabama one, both in its origin and in its induction criteria. It's possible that some merit categories; it's possible that none merit categories. postdlf (talk) 03:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Courcelles (talk) 19:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Terrorism in Vietnam (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: A recently created category with no parent article and no reliable sources that argue these were acts of terrorism. The Viet Cong, for instance, were a guerrilla group and are not considered terrorists. This whole thing smacks of POV-pushing. RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 13:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Bridges over the Saint John River (New Brunswick) to Category:Bridges over the Saint John River (Bay of Fundy)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Name of category should reflect that some of the bridges in this category are bi-national. As the river is disambiguated (Bay of Fundy), and the parent category is disambiguated (Bay of Fundy), it seems logical and appropriate to disambiguate this subcategory (Bay of Fundy) as well.

The result of the discussion was: rename. There was no consensus to delete the category, though more discussion in a subsequent nomination may be useful (especially if one or more category members are deleted). -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Wanted to Category:Wanted (comics)
Nominator's rationale: To match parent article, Wanted (comics). Wanted is ambiguous. — ξxplicit 04:45, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Courcelles (talk) 11:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Apostle Paul to Category:Paul of Tarsus
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The main article has been at a variety of names, but some time ago was moved to Paul of Tarsus and has been stable there for a number of months, so it makes sense to match the category name to the article name. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:43, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Sugar Hill Records (bluegrass) albums to Category:Sugar Hill Records albums

Category:Three kinds of karma

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. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:35, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Three kinds of karma to Category:Karma in Hinduism
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The "three kinds of karma" is a concept in Hinduism, but the idea of karma exists outside of Hinduism, so this name needs to be narrowed a bit. At the same time, it's already overly narrow in a different way, being limited to just the "three kinds". I suggest renaming this to Category:Karma in Hinduism, which more clearly sets out what the category is about and doesn't limit it to articles about only the "three kinds". A similarly-named Category:Karma in Jainism already exists. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:55, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 to Category:Plug-in hybrid vehicles. Converting Category:Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles from a category redirect into a subcategory of Category:Plug-in hybrid vehicles is up to editors' discretion. -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Plug-in hybrid vehicles by country to Category:Plug-in hybrid vehicles
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge Another category by User:Nopetro that does not seem to serve a useful purpose, at least at this time, as there are no "by country" articles or subcategories herein. Just four articles that can be upmerged to the parent, I believe. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename. More "future" infrastructure projects, as in this nomination and this one. Another possibility is "proposed." Between these three nominations, that should be most all of the "Future infrastructure" set.—Mike Selinker (talk) 02:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Electric vehicle legislation to Category:Electric vehicle incentives
Nominator's rationale: User:Nopetro created these two categories within a few minutes of each other. They are basically synonymous and surely can be merged. I don't particularly care which way, but I'm suggesting "incentives" be the target cat, as it's a bit broader. These are both sparsely populated cats, with virtually identical contents.
