- The result of the discussion was: no consensus to rename as proposed. Anyone can start a nomination to propose a rename to Category:Spouses of Governors of North Dakota, either as a test nomination or as a group nomination. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:41, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:First Ladies and Gentlemen of North Dakota to Category:First Ladies of North Dakota
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per main article and also history (cf. WP:CRYSTAL). We don't have (e.g.) category:First Ladies and Gentlemen of the United States. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:24, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename Mainly because of the rule against predicting the future.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:36, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I would rename the category: Spouses of Governors of North Dakota. It is simple and concise and we don't need about changing the category. Thank you-RFD (talk) 22:44, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- rename to Spouses of Governors of North Dakota and go on and rename all the by-state subcats of Category:Spouses of United States state governors to follow the same pattern: Spouses. Hmains (talk) 02:47, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. I guess that the basis of the nominator's concern is that there has not been a "first gentleman" of North Dakota. If so, he should make that clear, and link to the relevant article(s) rather than leaving other editors to guess. Either way, I oppose the proposed change, because the more inclusive form is the convention of Category:Spouses of United States state governors.
I also oppose Hmains's proposal. The idea has some merit, but only if applied to all such categories, and that can be done only by a group nomination. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:29, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- rename to Spouses of Governors of North Dakota, as a NPOV (or rather gender-neutral) title. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:53, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose because we shouldn't need to rename the category whenever someone is elected. Category:Spouses of Governors of North Dakota per PKI/HM is a reasonable name tough. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 02:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Relist for further consideration as a test nomination. I support renaming to Category:Spouses of Governors of North Dakota. These are the only subcategories of Category:Spouses of American politicians not to use the term "spouses", with the sole exceptions of the subcats for First & Second Ladies of the United States. Even the direct parent of this category, Category:Spouses of United States state governors, does not use "First Ladies and Gentlemen". When relisted as a test nom, a notice should also be posted on that parent cat. Cgingold (talk) 01:28, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unlike the national kind, state-level "first ladies and gentlemen" are not automatically notable enough for their own independent articles. Only one person in the entire list actually has her own article (and one other one just has a redirect to her husband), and few to none of the others are likely to possess any claim of notability that would survive WP:NOTINHERITED — so at this time, this is an WP:OC#SMALL violation with only a theoretical, not a particularly real, prospect of expansion. Delete until such time as we actually have enough content to warrant it. Bearcat (talk) 07:49, 9 September 2013 (UTC)----[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:38, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Changing "routes" to "articles" would globalize this category. Not every instance of where a junction list would be needed can be considered a route. –Fredddie™ 16:21, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: This category does not perform a useful purpose - it contains only one article (that is in plenty of other categories) and the category is itself uncategorized. DexDor (talk) 05:01, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete – very odd. Oculi (talk) 15:24, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the subject is a philosopher who founded the "Erlangen School", a philosophic movement. His co-founder has a redlink. The other member of the category was a student of Lorenszen. Erlangen School is currently a redirect to Neo-Lutheranism, presumably as a result of the place having given its name to another movement. One might argue for the category to be renamed Category:Erlangen School, but sicne we do not have an article on the school, we ought not to have a category.

- Propose deleting Category:Video gaming templates by country (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: I the creator of this category is nominating to delete it because, I originally created the category to help categorize the video gaming templates in... templates, which all of them got deleted. So this category is now useless. Seqqis (talk) 02:02, 29 August 2013 (UTC)----[reply]
