Category:10th century in the Czech Republic

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. If 10th century Moravian articles need categorization, make that too. The rest of the Nth century Czech people may need to be nominated for renaming, and if that doesn't pass, then this close can be overturned.--Mike Selinker (talk) 01:44, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Medibank International to Category:Sydney International
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Move to non sponsored name. As sponsor name will obviously change overtime. Dotdotdashdash (talk) 22:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Trece Martires (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete The only article in the category is Trece Martires itself so it's basically empty. There currently doesn't appear to be any articles to populate it to a reasonable size. Pichpich (talk) 19:53, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Om (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete Category of limited use and very unclear scope. We already have Category:Mantras for articles such as Om Tat Sat and I don't really see a benefit to grouping mantras that start with "Om". Pichpich (talk) 19:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. The oppose arguments are based on the concept that the head article should have some other name. The debate can be taken to the talk page of that article.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Jewish terrorism to Category:Jewish religious terrorism
Nominator's rationale: Per main article. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arena Football League free agents (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Category is about a current contract status, which is a non-defining characteristic of a player's career. TM 14:26, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Alliance for Healthy Cities (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is categorizing cities that are included in this health organization alliance. This is not a defining characteristic of these cities. The list in Alliance for Healthy Cities is probably the best way to approach this topic. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:36, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tommy John surgery recipients (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Receiving Tommy John surgery is more of an incidental thing, and not a defining characteristic of the individual receiving it. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pitcher wins are of little individual significance, in that they are largely a result of team run support, and ERA is a dynamic statistic describing performance, rather than a constant and binary state of being. As such, I do not view either as an acceptable analogue for this situation. Handedness is more appropriate, but since I think that we should categorize pitchers by handedness, I don't find that example persuasive. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 16:39, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps, you'd agree we should have Category:Circumcised people because that's defining or significant to many more people than Tommy John surger. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure what kind of baseball games you watch, but most of the pitchers I've seen don't seem to rely too heavily on their foreskins when they're on the mound. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 23:02, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, I forgot that this is the Wikibaseballpedia. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:55, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia is a general-purpose encyclopedia that covers many things - including baseball. This category is a useful organizational device for baseball-related articles. As such, your mockery is unwarranted. If you are not familiar with baseball, then perhaps you should not be participating in deletion-related discussions on that subject until you've had time to familiarize yourself with the subject matter under discussion. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 02:49, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think Carlos meant that being circumcised is far more defining and important to many people (ie, non-ball players) than having had Tommy John surgery is to ball players. He did not mean to suggest Category:Circumcised baseball players and that's not what he said: he said Category:Circumcised people. His reference to "Wikibaseballpedia" I took as a sarcastic comment that you didn't realise this distinction was being made by him. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:32, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Just for the record, I agree with Peterkingiron. The informal name (Tommy John surgery recipients) is good for an article but should then refer readers to a more formally named category. --Northernhenge (talk) 00:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If a non-baseball player receives Tommy John surgery, is it still Tommy John surgery? Thoughts for meditation ... Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
