Category:Temporary National Hockey League venues (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Several problems here. First the name, these are not temporary, but rather based on occasional use. Second, this is probably not defining. Finally, holding an event here once is a questionable reason for categorization. If being a venue is important them upmerge to Category:National Hockey League venues or Category:Defunct National Hockey League venues. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • A building is no more defined by hosting a single NHL game than it is by hosting a Cher concert or an appearance by the Dalai Lama. Nor is this category much different than something like Category:Arenas that hosted an NHL All-Star Game or Category:Arenas that hosted a Stanley Cup Finals game.

True enough, but are we going to delete categories about the World Cup, Super Bowl and Olympic venues? Otherwise, what is the difference? I don't want to keep this just because other stuff exists, but want to know if there is a objective, rather than subjective difference between those cases and this one. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 19:07, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I would !vote to delete for the same reason, but I can't speak for others. Olympic Venues might be a special case since a lot of those venues are built specifically for the Olympics. But no stadium was ever built specifically for the Super Bowl, and not many specifically for the World Cup. Resolute 20:11, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree, I also think arenas/theaters etc are defined by the type of concerts they are able to attract. Maybe not specifically Cher but in general concerts of a certain level of music. Just like this would be a hockey game of the National Hockey League level. You can't compare a specific artists concert with a general type of event. The two are distinct. This is no different than Category:Music venues in Alberta. -DJSasso (talk) 21:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The type of event in this case would be hockey. In that case, your comparable would then be Category:Ice hockey venues. Incidentally, as I type this, the Senators and Sabres are playing a game in a community rink in Dundas, Ontario. The rink was not notable before, and it is still not notable, even for having hosted an NHL game. Resolute 23:27, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And this one is just a subcategory of that one.... As for the game, its only a pre-season game. These rinks are all rinks that played regular season games. And isn't it actually happening in Hamilton at Copps Colliseum? That's what they said on the radio today. -DJSasso (talk) 23:32, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, at the rink in Dundas. The camera angels were awesomely brutal! ;) On point - this is an unnecessary subcategory. Equally as unnecessary as Category:Music venues that hosted a Cher concert. Resolute 14:53, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pokémon anime characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Gym Leaders (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. First virtually duplicates Category:Pokémon species apart from three humans who could easily be placed in the supercategory Category:Pokémon characters, the second just has two of the humans. Salix (talk): 14:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters by status (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Totally random inclusion criteria. Statuses include being a child, having made a pact with the devil, and being an undersea character. These should be upmerged into something more appropriate. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:29, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Progressive Reform Party politicians to Category:Progressive Reform Party (South Africa) politicians
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Propose disambiguating. The South African party is defunct and was a short-lived and relatively minor party. The Surinamese party of the same name is a currently existing major party in Suriname. Its category is currently named Category:Progressive Reform Party (Suriname) politicians. I propose that the nominated category be converted into a disambiguation category for these two categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
