Category:Cinema Insomnia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

:Nominator's rationale: Delete - minus what I believe are improperly categorized image files this is a small category unlikely to expand. Articles are interlinked through text. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 23:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC) Struck comment of indef-blocked sockpuppet. The nominator's opinion will be discounted in the closure decision per #3 WP:SK. QuAzGaA 16:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Also, there's nothing wrong with small categories either. I highly doubt Category:Novels by J. D. Salinger will ever expand but it's still noteworthy and useful.--DrWho42 (talk) 12:31, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

::Of course, "Novels by author" is a widely-accepted scheme and therefore an exception to the small categories guideline. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 16:04, 18 September 2010 (UTC) [reply]

I have serous doubts that individual characters from this series would pass notability guidelines so possible articles based on them should br strongly questioned in regards to the existence of this category.

  • Note that DixieDellamorto works for Cinema Insomnia and thus has a conflict of interest. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 20:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note -- I've read the conflict of interest page and I am not in violation of anything in that regard. I "work" as an archivist for Cinema Insomnia as a hobby. I've had to defend posts I've made based on the fact that I am in contact with the creators of the show but that doesn't mean my vote is any less valid. I'd like to point out that nothing here is promotional by any means. Do you honestly think that Cinema Insomnia is gaining anything by having this category? Also I'd like to point out that I didn't make the category in question. The Category only benefits those who are interested in the show and all of the articles and photos connected to it. These articles and photos are all properly categorized. Also Note that Are You The Cow Of Pain? has tried to squash other Cinema Insomnia related information on wikipedia and has been a general wrench in the works on the progress of this subject -- which makes the nomination for deletion a conflict of interest as it is obvious that he, for whatever reason, has something against the show.DixieDellamorto (talk) 03:03, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

::* Actually I'd never heard of this show before stumbling across a category named after it in the course of looking at something else. Thanks for the baseless accusation of bad faith, though.

Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia images available as SVG to Category:Images made obsolete by a SVG version
Nominator's rationale: Per the subcat.s at Category:Obsolete images as well as Wikimedia's preference for SVG; these aren't just available as SVG, but SVG is preferred. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 22:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • So as I read the guideline and the instructions on this page, there may be files listed on this page that are not obsoleted by their SVG counterpart. Therefore, I still oppose the name change. --Bejnar (talk) 00:11, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Non-talk pages requesting an edit to a semi-protected page to Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests
Nominator's rationale: We shouldn't have such a kind of category. Putting requests in two different categories means that one has to check more categories in order to help folks. I see no problem in simply putting "misplaced requests" into the common Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests. Anyone who checks this category can just as easily verify the request and act accordingly, no matter where it's placed. If it's within the article for some reason, they can either do it or not. However, as it currently stands, it can quite easily happen that a good faith request might go unnoticed for some time. Furthermore, from my experience at Commons (yes, I know it's not exactly the same, but still think it's comparable here), I've hardly ever seen any edit request on a non-talk page. Thus, I propose to put all non-talk page requests into Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests. The Evil IP address (talk) 22:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People with age disputes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - commonplace amongst certain professions (acting, recording) but doesn't strike me as rising to the level of being a defining characteristic. Certainly something that should be noted in a biographical article and there's a representative list in Age fabrication. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 20:12, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Countries with varying regional drinking ages (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This is overcategorization at best. I removed the category from India because a) the topic itself is undue in the article, b) there are many important aspects to categorize such articles on, and this isn't one of them. I don't think any country articles should be categorized at this level. Delete. —SpacemanSpiff 19:32, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Creators rationale: i'm generally a believer that if a category has more than a couple pages in it, it's fine. For the benefit of anyone reading this, there are 5 countries that i know of that fit this description (India, Indonesia, Spain, Austria and Canada). I won't freak out if this page gets deleted, but i think it should stay Keep Kill me when i die (talk) 19:40, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs about money (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Overly loose criterion for inclusion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:33, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete - vague and arbitrary inclusion criteria. "9 to 5" is about going to work "to make a living" so it's about money? "No Scrubs" is about refusing to date poor men so it's about money? Having money in the title doesn't tell us that the song is "about" money. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:56, 10 September 2010 (UTC) Struck comment of indef-blocked sockpuppet.

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Meaningless. Possibly suitable for an upmerge to Category:Billionaires, but most of them were already in a subcategory, so a mechanical upmerge would be a mistake. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Honorary doctorates of the University of Calcutta (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We have several genres categories for Category:action films already and I can not find any sources describing "action drama" in google books or online. Several of these films I can not even found described as dramas themself so I would nominate this cat which is being populate by only one user for deletion per WP:OR and over categorization. Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:52, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I created this page because I think are enough action dramas, for example, Spider-Man 2/3 aren't just action movies, they have lots of drama in them, I'd say more than action so. Chigurgh (talk) 00:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My deal is, I've never heard the films prominently described as dramas. Google shows nothing, and by that standard, you might as well call it a romance because there's a romance involved. I don't think this genre is prominent enough. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:02, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"keep" I have never heard Inglourious Basterds prominently descibred as adventure, except when it is accompanied by "wer" in "war adventure". The question is, remove Spider-Man but keep Leon and Heat, as there are sources refering to them as action dramas. Chigurgh (talk) 17:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
