Category:Pennsylvania Turnpike

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) 15:01, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The proposed name would both better fit the parent category Category:Toll road authorities of the United States and the content of the category, which is roads operated by the PTC, not just the Pennsylvania Turnpike proper (the Mon–Fayette Expressway, Pennsylvania Route 66, etc.). It's possible that the PTC might just be known as "Pennsylvania Turnpike" per WP:COMMONNAME, though, so that needs to be discussed. The Bushranger One ping only 23:03, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. The Bushranger One ping only 19:10, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to Category:California Polytechnic State University (San Luis Obispo)
  • Propose renaming Category:California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo alumni to Category:California Polytechnic State University (San Luis Obispo) alumni
Nominator's rationale: Contested speedy. All the other by-campus subcategories of Category:California State University rightfully use the "Cal State, City" format, as that is the name of the universities in question and, thus, their main articles. The main article here, however, is California Polytechnic State University - neither the university itself, or the article thereon, use any further wording. However, Category:California Polytechnic State University would be ambiguous, due to the existiance of California Polytechnic State University, Pomona. Therefore, this category should use the (disambiguator) format that is the standard, not the ", City" format which is not included in the name of this branch of the college.
Copy of speedy nomination
  • Category:California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to Category:California Polytechnic State University (San Luis Obispo) – C2B: Proper form of disambiguation. The Bushranger One ping only 05:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose - this rename would be inconsistent with all of the 22 other CSUs. I am pretty sure they would prefer their proper titles be used.Greg Bard (talk) 05:58, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Except that there is no such thing as California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The "proper title" of this university is only California Polytechnic State University - but using that as a category name would be ambiguous thanks to Cal Poly Pomona. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:39, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The form of the titles of all of the California State Universities are the same. It's "California State University, Name of Location." They use commas appropriately, and would not appreciate the parenthetical title. If this is moved, I will contact the public affairs office of the university and have them correct you directly. The current title as is, is the correct one.Greg Bard (talk) 19:50, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please see the article names. All the article names are at "California State University, Name of Location"...except this one. Becaue it's the acutal name of the university. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:13, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Bushranger One ping only 20:18, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please only title the category with the name the university calls itself. There are no instances of any parenthetical titles for the university. They universally use commas appropriately. The current title is consistent with the Pomona title, and I would oppose moving that one also. Stop attempting to insert parenthetical titles where they are not necessary.Greg Bard (talk) 4:42 pm, Today (UTC−4)
Except it is necessary. The name the university calls itself by is California Polytechnic State University - no parens, commas, or distrusted semicolons. But that cannot be used for a category title as it is ambiguous with California Polytechnic State University, Pomona. Wikipedia's standard in cases where disambiguation is necessary is to use the Ambiguous name (disambiguation) title format. Using the "Ambiguous name, disambiguation" format implies that that is the actual name of the school - when it is not. Which is the entire point of this exercise: to have the title match that which the school actually calls itself by. The (parens) are not part of the name, nor are they claimed to be, unlike the , Comma format which does. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Main article is Minister of Transport (France). I don't know what the best name for the category is. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deletion Category:Northern American portals
Nominator's rationale: The associated portal on this topic has been deleted Portal:Northern America, and the category is redundant to Category:North American portals and Category:Northern America. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:12, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The prefecture name Hokkaido is common enough not to be written with a macron in normal English usage (see article Hokkaido and Category:Hokkaido). While the initial speedy move proposal was contested, the existence of other categories still using the textbook Hokkaidō spelling with a macron does not in itself constitute a valid argument against moving to the more common English spelling (as per WP:OTHERSTUFF). In fact it may also be appropriate to move those categories in the future. --DAJF (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This appears to be a case of categorisation by shared name; there is no Cal Poly Pomona College, just subunits of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and these should be categorised directly under its cat.
