Propose renaming Category:Universal Music Latin albums to Category:Universal Music Latin Entertainment albums
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Full proper name of group. Will also hinder future Latin-related albums from being dumped into an ambiguous 'latin albums' category, instead of being assigned to their proper record label categories (Universal Music Latino albums, Fonovisa Records albums, Machete Music albums, Universal Music Spain albums, etc.) Imperatore (talk) 22:28, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:National Public Radio to Category:NPR
Nominator's rationale: Organization has been renamed; this is even indicated at the top of the category page at Category:National Public Radio. In addition, propose renaming of the subcategories similarly, to wit:
  • Category:National Public Radio member networks
  • Category:National Public Radio personalities
  • Category:National Public Radio programs
  • Category:National Public Radio member stations
  • Category:National Public Radio by state templates

comment Do not speedy. An attempt to rename this was rejected a couple of months ago & rejected. Nominator should refer back to that debate & contact those participants and let them participate in this discussion. Ephebi (talk) 00:38, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Listify. Timrollpickering (talk) 01:55, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Convert Category:Australian electorates contested at every election to article List of Australian electorates contested at every election
Nominator's rationale: Convert. This does not seem to be a defining characteristic for a category, partly because electorate boundaries change over the years. The most notable thing is the long-lasting names, and the current policy of trying to maintain the remaining ones. I would think being one of the original electorates may be defining but that should probably be a list too. Qetuth (talk) 12:34, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User pas-N (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. "This user is a native Pascal programmer" - "Native" programming speaker categories have all been deleted here as joke categories that don't help the encyclopedia. VegaDark (talk) 09:38, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:User Encourages Messi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Linked to a userbox that says "This user thinks that Messi is the best player in the world." Does not foster collaboration. "Wikipedians by individual person" category, which have unanimous precedent for deletion. Also has improper grammar and an improper naming convention for a user category.

Category:Imposter Verification Team (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Appears to be linked to the recently deleted Wikipedia:Imposter Verification Team to categorize users who have been "identified" by the team as impostors. At the very least this needs a rename to indicate it is a user category, but I see no use for this category if the entire project has been deleted, and even if the project is restored (looking at the page history it appears as the reason for the G7 deletion was that it "wasn't ready for project space yet", else I would have simply speedy deleted this as a page dependent on a deleted page, I'd rather not see this crop back up) I see no function that this would have that our sockpuppet categories can't accomplish. VegaDark (talk) 09:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I was the creator of the project and as you already know, it has been self-requested to be speedy deleted by me. I was going through the process of speedy deleting all the pages related to the project, and I must have forgotten this page. I have since nominated the page for speedy delete under G7.

Category:Wikipedia pages named with diacritics (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: As a result of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2011 December 18#Template:Foreign character, it would seem to make sense to delete this maintenance category too. Jared Preston (talk) 08:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Incarceration by country to Category:Penal systems by country
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Essentially these are duplicate categories and penal systems seems the better name. Tim! (talk) 07:20, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs written by Dean Miller (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Only one entry. He did write at least one other song for someone else, but it's not notable enough for an article. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 03:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Many thanks for the notification on my talkpage. I agree with the nominator that single entry categories should all be deleted, they act only as redirects and have no useful function. But... there are others who feel it is OK where it is part of a larger category scheme (which this is). If we could get consensus that single member categories are all deleted, that would be great. NB I try not to create single member categories, but sometimes there isn't a second entry to find. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:27, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. The Palestine category may be renominated or purged as needed. If any expatriated clubs or other outliers end up in the wrong spot, feel free to move them.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:02, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
229 categories: Category:{Foo / Fooian} {association football / football / soccer} clubsCategory:{Association football / Football / Soccer} clubs in Foo
Nominator's rationale: The prevailing standard is to use nationality (Fooian) for categories of people and socio-cultural topics, such as art and music, and to use country for organizations and non-person entities. Association football clubs fall into the latter category and, therefore, I propose that we use country instead of nationality as the identifier, in order to:
  1. Adopt a standard that can apply to all countries instead of utilizing three standards: Fooian football clubs (Category:Brazilian football clubs), Foo football clubs (Category:Republic of Ireland football clubs) and Football clubs in Foo (Category:Football clubs in Georgia (country));
  2. Establish consistency with Category:Sports teams by country, as well as comparable categories for baseball, basketball, cycling and ice hockey;
  3. Establish consistency with the naming of lists of association football clubs by country; and
  4. Avoid ambiguity concerning whether an Afghan football club, for instance, is based in Afghanistan, competes only or primarily in Afghanistan, is composed of Afghans (e.g., Kabul Soccer Club), is owned by an Afghan or is, in some other way, 'intrinsically Afghan'.
