- The result of the discussion was: Rename. Dana boomer (talk) 01:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Modern American anti-submarine rockets and missiles to Category:Anti-submarine rockets and missiles of the United States
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Establishing "X of Y" naming which is standard and is used by the only other existing subcat of Category:Anti-submarine rockets and missiles. Also, "Modern" qualifier creates a rather small category with little chance for expansion and nebulous inclusion criteria (what is "modern"?). Should be for all American ASW rockets/missiles, and this would make it so. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:56, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
MergeRename per nom. Modern is uselessly vague. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I assume you mean rename, not merge? :) Since the presumed merge-to category (Category:Anti-submarine rockets and missiles of the United States) doesn't exist yet. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:02, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename -- "modern" is redundant since there is no corresponding ancient category (nor is one likely, whereever one draws the line. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:59, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: administrative close: already done by category creator. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:34, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Shot blasting to Category:Abrasive blasting
- Nominator's rationale: To move the category name to the same as the article name (Abrasive blasting). This name is also more inclusive. Also see User_talk:Andy_Dingley#category:shot_blasting. Wizard191 (talk) 19:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Support rename - sorry, just wasn't thinking when I created this alongside category:shot peening Andy Dingley (talk) 19:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: Procedural close. Nominator agreed to withdraw so that category could be emptied and tagged for C1. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 21:11, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Chikayo Fukuda albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Article for artist doesn't exist. The album is a small section in an article for a video game series. Categorization by artist here is unnecessary. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 18:52, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete – the single article isn't an album; the album referred to within the article was not recorded by Chikayo Fukuda so it is not a 'Chikayo Fukuda album'; and CF has no article. Is some ill-directed script producing these random categories? (I see again that its text is generated entirely by the mysterious ((Albums category)).) Occuli (talk) 19:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete no reason for this to slog through CFD. Completely uncontroversial. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 20:55, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Propose renaming Category:Sunday Best albums to Category:Sunday Best (music company) albums
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Suggest matching to article Sunday Best (music company). Sunday Best can also refer to a TV programme (or a song), so confusion is possible. Good Ol’factory (talk) 15:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename – and then the mysterious template which provides the entire text will link to the correct page. Occuli (talk) 18:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Category:Mr. Bear Records, reissued on Spigot Records albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. I'm reasonably sure we don't want or need a category for albums that were originally released on Mr. Bear Records but then reissued on Spigot Records. I would suggest breaking this into two categories, but do not have articles for Mr. Bear Records or Spigot Records. Good Ol’factory (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Propose merging Category:Bootsy's Rubber Band albums to Category:Bootsy Collins albums
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. There's a large amount of duplication here. Bootsy's Rubber Band redirects to Bootsy Collins, so I just suggest we keep the older target category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:19, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: Delete. Dana boomer (talk) 01:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Happy Face albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. The records label is actually "Happy Face Records, but on WP that just redirects to Diamond Head (band), which set up their own label. My understanding is that if the label doesn't have a WP article, we don't categorize albums by that label. If kept, it needs to be Category:Happy Face Records albums. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:07, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can we get clarification on that? User:Rich Farmbrough created a ton of these albums by record label categories, and many of the labels don't have articles. I started removing them out of process because of that, and then I agreed to go through some of the ones created because I kept finding errors. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 19:08, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I'm not 100% sure if it's been settled this way in the past, which is why I have brought it here. I know we routinely delete categories for albums by redlinked producers, so it would be consistent to do so with redlinked labels. I agree with that approach, at least. If it's not notable enough to have an article I don't see why we would want a category for it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete – I would distinguish between producers/labels/songwriters who have no article but could/should have one, and those for whom an article would be wholly excessive, and this seems to be the case here. Occuli (talk) 11:47, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: keep as a redirect. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:45, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Punjab (Pakistan) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category was nominated for speedy deletion by another editor. This was declined. I suggest this redirect is not necessary. meco (talk) 22:30, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- This redirect is a valid search term. I disagree that Category:Punjab should be a dab-category. Historically the Punjab was one province and earlier one kingdom. It is thus appropraiate to retain this category, which is well-populated, though it is possible that some of the articles need to be recategorised into daughter categories for its current divisions. If there is an inconsistency, it is that Category:Punjab (India) is not Category:Punjab, India. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:20, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisting note: I suggest we ignore the distracting issue of what to do with Category:Punjab for now and just decide the core issue of the nomination: is this category redirect is to be kept or not? Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:57, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a redirect. It does no harm, and may be useful in some cases. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:55, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As a plausible redirect. Alansohn (talk) 14:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a category redirect or rename Category:Punjab, Pakistan to this name and make that the redirect, to match the Indian category. We certainly need one of these as a category redirect to the other. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:06, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Geologic provinces of California
- 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; only one comment asking for more information after two weeks.. Dana boomer (talk) 01:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Geologic provinces of California to Category:Geomorphic provinces of California
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The introduction points to Geography of California as the source of information. That article claims there are 11 and not 12 provinces as stated in the category and that they are geomorphic provinces. In any case neither of of those numbers seems to be mappable to the contents of this category. So while this is proposed as a rename, I suspect that some cleanup is called for here. A delete is also a possibility since I suspect that the current contents are not appropriate for inclusion since their reason for inclusion here is not mentioned in the articles.

- Comment, perhaps needs editors' clarifications/consensus on whether cat. is for Geologic province focused articles, or broader Geomorphology inclusiveness with additional factors. If USGS/geology criteria is used perhaps current name is more accurate? Are other factors already in Cat:Landforms, Cat:Drainage Basins, etc? Not my expertise area, and will listen now. — Look2See1 t a l k → 20:56, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. There are several existing disambiguated categories: Category:People from Prestbury, Cheshire, Category:People from St Ives, Cambridgeshire, Category:People from Wallingford, Connecticut. There are also categories for various counties, e.g. Category:People from Dorchester County, South Carolina. Not sure that they are ambiguous enough but if they are then that would mean dab categories for the Holt, Crook and Dorchester pages.
