  • Propose merging Category:Wikipedian Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans to Category:Wikipedians who like the Power Rangers

Category:Pro-life movement

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Fair points have been made by both sides of the argument and the !votes themselves are fairly evenly split. I see no consensus developing now or in the near future over this issue.--v/r - TP 13:38, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(etc. Haven't tagged all other subcategories, but you get the idea.)
Nominator's rationale: The related article was moved, after considerable discussion, from Pro-life movement to Opposition to legal abortion. It would be overstating matters to say there's a consensus on what the best title is here, but a significant number of editors feel 'pro-life' is not sufficiently NPOV, and I agree. In any case, the names of this category and its subcats should match the name of the main article.
My immediate reason for this nomination is that I found people such as Paul Jennings Hill, a convicted murderer, listed in Category:American pro-life activists. That's an absurdity, and illustrates the problem with these categories under their current names. 'Anti-abortion' would not only be more neutral, it would allow us to avoid the blatant oxymoron of having killers categorised as 'pro-life'.
And yes, before anybody asks, I'd be open to renaming Category:Pro-choice movement as well. The related article is currently at Support for the legalization of abortion, which doesn't lend itself so easily to a category name; anybody got any good suggestions?

Category:Nontheist Friends

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. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a case where category tree convention conflicts with the main article for the category. While Nontheist Friend is the main article, all other subcategories of Category:Quakers use the "Quaker" terminology, as does Quakers itself - which was, in fact, renamed from Religious Society of Friends about a year ago. So it seems to me that using "Quakers" here should be what's done. The Bushranger One ping only 16:58, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:51, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I don't really see the need even to listify this, let alone having a category for the membership of this organization. Looking at other employer associations, I also don't see any other in our category tree that have this. __meco (talk) 07:13, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: No article, not mentioned in the couple articles I checked, no indication why this isn't a classic example of WP:OCAT by award winners. Courcelles 05:58, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge - category emptied by creator. The Bushranger One ping only 15:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Why would this exist? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:35, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The category has been emptied — that is, all names have been upmerged — and is ready for deletion. I had initially thought that it might be useful to parse out active from inactive players. Eurodog (talk) 13:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the future, please don't empty categories that are under discussion at CfD, thanks. - The Bushranger One ping only 15:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT with no reasonable chance of expansion. Only article is already in Category:Disbanded air forces. The Bushranger One ping only 03:52, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Japanese puppet states

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. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Puppet states was deleted at CfD recently. That leaves this as an 'orphaned' subcategory; as it falls under Category:Former client states, the 'client states of Foo' format seems to be the logical rename target for this.

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. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This seems to be a better format for the category names here; in addition to being more clear, it also fits the redirect (to Bantustan) that is used for the main article link for the first category, and fits the parent categories Category:Apartheid in South-West Africa and Category:Apartheid in South Africa.
