Category:Architecture in Turkey

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. Well, I think that if there is consensus, it is to have a discussion on how the architecture categories are actually used and not to make a change here at this time. So feel free to have that discussion and if needed, bring proposed changes back here for additional input/action. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:18, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. An opposed speedy. In theory, there could be a difference between the two, but they should be merged for the following reasons:
  1. Conformity with overall scheme: In Category:Architecture by country, this is the only country that has two different categories, one for "FOOian architecture" and one for "Architecture in FOO".
  2. Lack of need: Any architecture in Turkey that could be described as something other than "Turkish" is already categoried in Category:Turkish architecture by period and/or Category:Buildings and structures in Turkey, both of which are subcategories of Category:Turkish architecture.
  3. Lack of meaningful division in practice: Examining the contents of both categories reveals that in practice, there is no sharp distinction being made between what goes in one category versus what goes in the other.
  4. Age: The target category was created in 2006. The nominated category was created in 2011. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:00, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Listed buildings at risk in Somerset

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 Category:Listed buildings at risk in Somerset to Category:Structures on the Heritage at Risk register in Somerset and Category:Buildings on the Buildings at Risk Register to Category:Structures on the Heritage at Risk register. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 09:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I've just started adding entries from the 2013 Heritage at Risk register (published today) which replaced the official designation of Listed buildings at risk some years ago. Many of the entries are Ancient monuments rather than Listed buildings and not all of them are even buildings. One of the parent categories is the national Category:Buildings on the Buildings at Risk Register If the second name for the Somerset list should be adopted then I would propose renaming the national parent category, but I am unfamiliar with category procedures and how to do all this.— Rod talk 18:57, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
According to Buildings at Risk Register this change of name occurred in 2008 and the register now includes the most important archaeological sites, registered historic parks and gardens, registered battlefields, and the protected wreck sites that lie off the coastline as well as buildings. So we are at least 5 years out of date.— Rod talk 19:09, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it would make more sense to name the categories to "Heritage on the Heritage at Risk Register in Somerset" or just "Heritage at Risk in Somerset". This would be more in keeping with the current terminology used. The same applies to the main category. Wdeed talk 09:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Per WP:SMALL as a single-item category. Was initially tagged as empty the day before the eponymous article was added. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 17:39, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. After many similar discussions, it appears that we still don't have a consensus on when these should exist and when they should not. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:20, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Too little content--subcats can be interlinked. —Justin (koavf)TCM 09:35, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 06:06, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 September 10

Nominator's rationale: That a type of habitat is mentioned in the UK's biodiversity action plan is not a WP:DEFINING characeristic of that habitat - especially where a habitat (e.g. deep-water coral) is not specific to the UK. Note: The list (in the United Kingdom Biodiversity Action Plan article) includes many things (e.g. Rivers) that clearly should not be in any country-specific category. Note: If kept, this category should be renamed to avoid the "BAP" acronym as it may not be familiar to many people. DexDor (talk) 05:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 06:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per indie rock (a genre) and indie music (which is any music not released through a major record label). This is about music released in that idiom of alternative rock, not any music that isn't released by the Big Four/Five. —Justin (koavf)TCM 05:38, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • As I've said in a couple of these debates, "performance" on a reality or game show is distinguishable from "performance" in works of fiction. The vast majority of people for whom being on a reality or game show is a defining characteristic are not going to be in multiple such categories that way that a performer in fiction will be. It may be that reality or game show participant categories fall outside what the community wants to utilize. That's why a centralized discussion is a better approach to this situation than these dribs-and-drabs nominations. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 19:03, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
