Propose renaming Category:Professional accountancy bodies to Category:Accountancy professional associations
Nominator's rationale: Nearly all other subcategories of Category:Professional associations by profession use the complete phrase "professional associations" instead of "professional bodies," and place it as a unit at at the end. Could also be Category:Accountancy-related professional associations.--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:11, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nonlinear video games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: "Nonlinear" is a term that could mean several things: It might mean an open level design; it might mean open-endend games, or those with multiple endings. So the first issue is that the category is subjective: for example, Tornado Low Level was recently categorized here, because it has one large map that the player can fly over freely. But it still progresses by level. Is this non-linear?
Secondly, combining these concepts together makes a huge category - I reckon about half of all games that ever existed. In my opinion this is hopelessly broad. I think we should have a closer examination of what we mean by "nonlinear" and create narrower categories as appropriate. Marasmusine (talk) 08:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletion discussions. (G·N·B·S·RS·Talk) Marasmusine (talk) 08:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not a useful metric, as it is completely subjective. While some examples are easier to classify, most are just a mess that reviewers will argue on. "Oh, it's so open worlded" vs. "No it's just linear gameplay hidden in big rooms". No VG publisher really classifies this properly as far as I know. And the huge issue is also a factor, since half the video games are not linear in one way or another. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Deaths from throat cancer

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: Changed to redirect. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:48, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose deletion delete redirect Category:Deaths from throat cancer - Category:Deaths from esophageal cancer
Nominator's rationale: Wrong redirect. Throat does not correspond esophagus. See also Category talk:Deaths from esophageal cancer. In ideal this page should disambiguate Category:Deaths from oral cancer, Category:Deaths from laryngeal cancer, Category:Deaths from thyroid cancer and others. Speedy? --Figure19 (talk) 07:47, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I didn't know of a cat disamb existing, thank you. --Figure19 (talk) 01:30, 10 May 2011 (UTC) The redirect was wrong anyway, and I did disambig page, but I'm not sure it's the right way. Although the "throat cancer" is not the right designation and does not fit ICD-10 classification, it's one of the most used colloquial collective terms for these tumors, and more exact diagnosis in most articles is not mentioned (see articles in Category:Deaths from esophageal cancer - now it is full of deaths from throat cancer because of wrong redirect). So, wouldn't it be better to revive Category:Deaths from throat cancer as a full-featured category with subcats of laryngeal, oral, oropharyngeal, etc.? See also Talk:Head and neck cancer --Figure19 (talk) 06:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Suicide bombings in Morocco (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: How many suicide bombings have there been in Morocco? Apparently two. This feels a lot like WP:OVERCAT and it almost could be construed as WP:BEANS (among other bad ideas). Axem Titanium (talk) 03:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per the recent nomination that created Category:Professional associations based in the United States, this seeks to standardize all related categories to that format.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, there are still outstanding sub-categories in the US grouping e.g.: Category:African American professional organizations, Category:American bar associations, Category:American engineering organizations, Category:Hispanic American professional organizations, Category:American legal organizations which should be standardised first before rolling this out globally.
