Category:Nippori-Toneri Liner
- 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: no consensus for Category:Nippori-Toneri Liner, rename Category:People mover lines in Japan to Category:People mover systems in Japan. If the main article, Nippori-Toneri Liner ought to be moved, I recommend starting a requested move discussion (see instructions) on the article's talk page. If the article is moved, then the category can be listed for speedy renaming under criterion C2.D. -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:40, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Perhaps the use of Liner rather than Line for the Nippori-Toneri Liner was an accident; all the other people movers in Japan are called just “line”. But for the country change to category to “systems” as the categories for all other countries and types are called “systems”. Hugo999 (talk) 23:57, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:ASA Midwest Tour

- The result of the discussion was: speedy rename as 48 hours have elapsed since the original listing at WP:CFD/S and I withdraw my objection following the offered clarification. -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Contested speedy. The category covers both the 'classic' ASA National Tour, which is the best known American Speed Association racing series, which went defunct in 2004, and its spiritual successor, the ASA Midwest Tour, which started in 2007, not just the latter, however the objection was that the latter is the main article. Explanation of why it isn't is here. The Bushranger One ping only 18:53, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Putinism

- The result of the discussion was: delete. No prejudice against creating Category:Vladimir Putin or the like. The Bushranger One ping only 00:29, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Although Putinism has an article, you can see from that page it's highly contentious and there's much dispute over what it means, or if it even exists as a coherent ideology. As such, it's too poorly defined to serve as a useful category. Robofish (talk) 16:41, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- (Note: there were two other articles in this category which I removed from it, Boris Spiegel and Presidential Commission of the Russian Federation to Counter Attempts to Falsify History to the Detriment of Russia's Interests.) Robofish (talk) 16:43, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It's fashionable to apply an -ism to the politics of every contemporary political figure, v. Blairism, et al, but not every such -ism is a lasting political movement like Gaullism or Nasserism. I think a category for Putinism is premature at best. Besides, because these are "personal" politics (as opposed to ideological systems), wherever a topic is so closely associated with the -ism as to merit inclusion in the category, it could arguably be placed directly in the category for the political figure. In other words, we have not seen a need for Category:Thatcherism because those topics can slot elsewhere under Category:Margaret Thatcher; Clintonist articles likewise fit into Category:Presidency of Bill Clinton or Category:Bill Clinton itself. - choster (talk) 21:05, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or possibly rename or merge to something more related to Putin. This is a small category and unlikely to expand, whereas one on Putin could accomodoate more subjects. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:37, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: rename (C2C). The Bushranger One ping only 00:29, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: To match spellling used in parent category, Category:Organizations based in Russia. Robofish (talk) 16:14, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- rename per nom to match the parent and also most of its siblings. Hmains (talk) 01:57, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Campaigns in the United States presidential election, 1988

- The result of the discussion was: merge. The larger nomination can determine which format is better, but everyone is agreed there should be one category for each year.--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:35, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose merging Category:Campaigns in the United States presidential election, 1988 to Category:United States presidential campaigns, 1988
- Nominator's rationale: Merge as duplicative. —GoldRingChip 14:47, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Reverse Merge, maybe Most members of the parent category Category:United States presidential campaigns follow the "Campaigns in the United States presidential election, YYYY" formula; the proposed target is one of three exceptions. I would not object to preferring the shorter title, but there needs to be consistency. Mangoe (talk) 15:17, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - I think these should all be renamed to the shorter titles, 'United States presidential campaigns, XXXX'. Robofish (talk) 16:38, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Reverse merge per Mangoe. It's true that the shorter format is probably preferable, but that will require a seperate, much larger CfD. In the meantime, those that aren't at the longer form should be renamed for consistency; having a few that stand out like sore thumbs is unprofessional (and avoids just having to rename them later if renaming them all doesn't pass). - The Bushranger One ping only 20:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - The shorter title also goes better with the party campaign categories eg Category:United States presidential Democratic Party campaigns, 2008 and Category:United States presidential Republican Party campaigns, 2008 - Hugo999 (talk) 09:00, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Close. As there seems to be support, even among those advocating a reverse merge, for the shorter title, I've drafted a group nomination of all Campaigns in ... categories which I would be glad to post just as soon as this discussion closes. -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:51, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maratha people
Category:Iraqi people of Bahrani descent
- 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: delete. The Bushranger One ping only 00:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. None of the articles that used to be listed in the category only mentions the supposed Bahrani descent of the respective persons, not to mention verification with reliable sources. Every categorization in this category seems to be original research. Articles formerly included in this category are Sinan Al Shabibi, Mohammed Ridha Al-Shabibi, Badr Shakir al-Sayyab, Allaedin Ghoraifi, Zainab Bahrani, Nouri al-Maliki. RJFF (talk) 05:57, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, if sources can't be provided for these claims. I note that Allaedin Ghoraifi does state that he is of Bahraini descent, but no source is given. Robofish (talk) 16:22, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I have removed so many of these categorizations with no in-text evidence, sourced or not sourced, that I wonder if there is any point in having any of these categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
