*Keep and repopulate -- It looks as if some on has emptied the category out of process. The team exists; it has a squad of players; so that there ought to be a subcat for its players. Unfortunately for those who like everything to be tidy, despite the 1922 partition, some things continue to be organised on an all-Ireland basis, and it is appropriate for these to appear in an Ireland category, rather than one for NI or RoI. We have split a lot of Irish categories according to the two polities on the island, but WP neess to reflect what is happening in the real world, not try to impose its own world view.

Delete -- The rationale is that we do not have any other categories for national teams, only articles. Accordingly contrary to what I said above, I now consider this a redundant category. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vehicles introduced by year

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 / no consensus. It's not quite accurate to say that there's no consensus, since there is a clear consensus to move away from the current titles or even structure, but there's no consensus on the particular direction to take. There is no consensus to follow the suggestion, by Vegaswikian and JPL, to delete and start over and, in any case, such an action would require a wider nomination encompassing the subcategories. Likewise, there is no clear consensus for (nor, to be fair, any strong opposition to) the proposal, by Fayenatic and supported by Bushranger, to rename to 'Road vehicles...' and recreate Category:Vehicles by year of introduction as a parent for road vehicles, locomotives, ships and so on.
So, rather than retaining the status quo, which no one supported, I will rename both categories as nominated as there was no opposition per se to the limited change proposed by the nominator. I encourage interested editors to propose or boldly implement some of the cleanup that was discussed, whether it be a general discussion/RfC at Category talk:Introductions by year (or elsewhere) regarding the precise definition of 'introduction' or re-categorization of the type proposed by Fayenatic, starting with either a follow-up nomination or the splitting out of Category:Road vehicles by year of introduction.
By the way, my compliments to the participants. When closing discussions, it's always nice to read one that is peppered with ideas, examples and insightful analysis. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:46, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The existing names seem to be the only ones in Category:Introductions by year to use "introduced by year," which I find a bit awkward. I considered "Vehicle introductions by year" as well as "Vehicles by year of introduction," but I believe the latter is smoother for compound constructions as we will see further down in the tree, or which we find even at the same level: Category:Fictional characters by year of introduction‎ over Category:Fictional character introductions by year, which pushes us into crash blossom territory. Note that the nom is for the named categories only; I have no quarrel with the subcats as they stand. - choster (talk) 17:52, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Medicinal plants by tradition

The result of the discussion was: rename. to the second set The Bushranger One ping only 01:11, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These two subcategories of Category:Medicinal plants by tradition should adhere to the same naming standard: either Traditional Fooian medicinal plants or Plants used in traditional Fooian medicine. Either standard is acceptable within the structures of Category:Medicinal plants and Category:Traditional medicine. I prefer Traditional Fooian medicinal plants because it is slightly shorter but no less precise.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Might make a worthwhile list in Pound's articles (contents at closing here) but not a category. The Bushranger One ping only 21:56, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Visitors to Ezra Pound at St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Mentally Ill (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Trivial category that is very peripheral to the articles it is attached to. NtheP (talk) 20:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Denver

The result of the discussion was: rename. Consistency with sibling categories outweighs consistency with the lead article name, and category names should be more specific than article names even where the primary topic is dominant. – Fayenatic London 16:58, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy rename. I'm not sure what the process is for overturning a Speedy nomination that was unchallenged. This set of unchallenged nominations seems clearly in conflict with dozens of precedential nominations that have overwhelmingly confirmed the (City, State) format for all US cities, with exception of New York City. Here are just a few: two nominations here, seventeen more here, two more, another here, yet another here, and so many more that I can't list them all. This should be overturned and put back to its former "Denver, Colorado" format.--Mike Selinker (talk) 04:46, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pre-state history of U.S. 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. If there are specific ones people want to merge with other categories, nominate them separately.--Mike Selinker (talk) 08:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: More grammatically accurate than "pre-state", since the categories refer to the history of these states prior to achieving statehood. Eastlaw talk ⁄ contribs 03:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People educated at Elvian School

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: (procedural) keep as the category was not tagged. As there appears to be a consensus to keep the nominated category and, instead, to upmerge Category:People educated at Presentation College, Reading, I have initiated a procedural nomination for that category here. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:01, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are no articles about people in this category. It acts as the parent to Category:People educated at Presentation College, Reading‎, but no one included in that was educated at Elvian School, a rather different kind of school which followed Presentation College on the same site. As categories are principally for navigation, it would surely be better for Category:People educated at Presentation College, Reading‎, to be directly visible within Category:People educated by school in Berkshire.
