Works inspired by

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) 17:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename, following CFD for Works inspired by people last year. We recognise that "inspired by" is wider than "based on", but the latter covers what we actually want to categorise as it's more objective. – Fayenatic London 19:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 17:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I have split Category:Star Trek in other media by creating a new Category:Works about Star Trek, leaving the old one populated with adaptations etc; it should now be renamed to fit the parent and many others within the Category:Works based on works category tree. (After the three that I have nominated, all the remaining "in other media" categories are Category:Comics characters in other media and its sub-cats, which anyone else is welcome to nominate separately.) – Fayenatic London 17:08, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Miami Metrorail and Metromover images

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: already deleted as C1. The Bushranger One ping only 21:12, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: After moving eligible files to Commons, all that's left is one file that's tagged for transfer but also tagged with a licence I've never seen before - so I've left it - but that still leaves just one file, and of a Tri-Rail train and station, not a Metrorail or Metromover one. So this should be merged to the Tri-Rail stations category - unless this file really can be moved to commons, in which case it'll be C1 for this cat. The Bushranger One ping only 16:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The only true rationale for this particular Tri-Rail train being in the category, is that it's at the Tri-Rail and Metrorail Transfer Station, which as the name implies, is shared by the Miami Metrorail system and Tri-Rail. Having said that, I'm surprised all the images which are strictly Miami Metrorail and Miami Metromover-related have been moved to the commons. So, I'll move the last image to the Category:Images of railway stations in the United States, remove the commons tags, and you can delete the category. ----DanTD 01:09, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Alrighy then, thanks for clearing that up - delete as C1 then. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:32, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While we're at it, I have to ask what you were expecting to get with a merger, because it seems like you were hoping for a revival. ----DanTD 03:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
No, I just figured it would be the best way to have the image recategorised and the category deleted without 'emptying out of process'. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:29, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:41, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I could not convince myself to tag individual players as representative of the league. Without doing so, I couldn't find many stubs. Propose deleting category as a greatly undersized stub. No prejudice against category recreation once 60+ articles found for template. Dawynn (talk) 09:37, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Terms

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: merge per nominator.
I note that several editors pointed to a need for a followup merger of the subcats if this one proceeded, so I will open a procedural nomination for the sub-categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:47, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Aren't they the same thing since "term" is a contraction of "terminology"? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 05:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • also suggest rename of result to Category:Terminology by field or something similar. Mangoe (talk) 14:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If there was a renaming I would prefer Category:Terminology by subject to match other such categories but since they are all about field/subjects a renaming is not necessary. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:08, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are some immediate page members which are about terminology in general, but after further reflection I would agree that there isn't a need for a separate "terminology by" level. I agree "by subject" would be a better match to other cases. Mangoe (talk) 23:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that we should use the more often used "terminology" in all of the category names. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:08, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The basic problem here is that there are two types of member of these categories (articles discussing terminology and articles whose title is a term). If you propose merging you need to be clear which type you are proposing to keep, or if both are allowed in the same category. The closer of this debate will also need to assess the consensus on that issue. On the other hand, retaining two categories makes it clear that both types of categorization are wanted. SpinningSpark 10:26, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no trouble with both of those types of articles in the same category.--Mike Selinker (talk) 21:08, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename - both C2C and G7 (only edits by editors other than creator-nominator the addition of parent cats and interwiki links). The Bushranger One ping only 23:22, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per convention. Same goes for the Sustainability by sector‎ category. BTW, I created them but they have since been edited. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 03:05, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Transportation in Birmingham, Alabama.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:44, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OC. Running through Birmingham's metro area (which has no other categories) isn't defining for these roads. Could be upmerged to Category:Transportation in Birmingham, Alabama if desired I suppose. The Bushranger One ping only 02:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would also note that some cats are by actual city, some by metro area; and there are a couple of cases where there is both a city and a metro area main category. I'm inclined in this case to upmerge (that is, rename), given the lack of a parent to merge into. Mangoe (talk) 13:07, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Found very few stub articles to tag in the permanent category. Propose deleting this category and upmerging (to Category:European business biography stubs and Category:Serbian people stubs) until 60+ articles can be tagged.

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Even the permanent category (Category:Mosques in Algeria) contains very few articles. Propose upmerging until template used on 60+ articles. Upmerge to Category:Mosque stubs and Category:Algerian building and structure stubs‎. Dawynn (talk) 00:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
