Category:Port-City University League

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, unanimous discussion. – Fayenatic London 07:36, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Which associations a university/college is a member of is not generally a WP:DEFINING characteristic (most of the articles in this category do not mention this league in the article text, let alone in the lead). For info: This is part of a series of CFDs for membership of university associations (e.g. see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_July_4#Category:National_Association_of_Independent_Colleges_and_Universities_members). For info: there is a list in the Port-City University League article. DexDor (talk) 22:32, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fish of Great Britain

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: upmerge lists only, then delete. – Fayenatic London 23:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Fish of Great Britain (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
    • Selective upmerge of lists only, to Fauna of Great Britain. 07:20, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Omitted from merger of other countries at CFD July 2 because it was a fairly new and almost orphaned category. The 4 pages in it are already within Category:Fish of Europe or appropriate sub-cats, so no merger is needed. – Fayenatic London 20:46, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 07:38, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Only contains Category:Fish of Russia after upmerging of all the others, see CFD July 2. – Fayenatic London 20:20, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:British actors who served in the armed forces

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. – Fayenatic London 17:15, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:TRIVIALCAT as the arbitrary past tense intersection of "British actor" and "British military personnel". Britain had conscription for twenty years around WW2, so many actors will have served in the forces. McGeddon (talk) 14:03, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Future New York City Subway stations

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 to standard form. If any splitting is needed to complementary standard categories, that can go ahead without further discussion here. – Fayenatic London 10:25, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:: consistent naming with rest of the tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:27, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no requirement to use a lower level category by country. As long as one category, usually the one for the system, is in the country, the top level under construction or planned category could be used. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also note that some of the planned content is for cancelled projects that belong under Category:Unbuilt buildings and structures‎. So cleanup is clearly needed. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • This discussion is about one system. So it does not affect other systems. However the general extension would be the same as for all other projects. If it is under construction it would be in that tree and not under proposed since once construction starts it is no longer proposed. If it fails after then, it goes into unbuilt.

Nominator's rationale: The two categories seem to serve an identical purpose. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:57, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Basketball players from Brooklyn

The result of the discussion was: upmerge to 2 parents mentioned in the nomination. (Note: both the member articles are already in both those parents.) – Fayenatic London 21:37, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There have been numerous discussions about creating these type of sportsperson categories below the state/province level (such as "Basketball players from New York") and we have always intentionally NOT created them. You can see a discussion from earlier this year here, however similar discussions were held previously for Portland, Oregon and Chicago, Illinois (at a minimum).

Category:1945 in Jordan

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/merge. – Fayenatic London 10:35, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Transjordan became independent only in 1946 and officially became the Kingdom of Jordan in 1952, hence for 1945 and before it should be regarded as Transjordan (standing for Emirate of Transjordan between 1921-1946), as OETA (1917-1921) and Ottoman Syria (1517-1917). This is in line with other similar cases to refer to contemprorary entity for the time.GreyShark (dibra) 11:13, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Boston Tea Party (political party) politicians

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. – Fayenatic London 21:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As the party is defunct, no new articles are available to add. The only other name, for the VP candidate, was a non-notable name and that article is now a redirect to the parent. – S. Rich (talk) 06:05, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:King Edward VI High School for Girls

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. – Fayenatic London 21:46, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category contains only the main article and an alumni subcategory which is otherwise appropriately categorized. There does not appear to be enough material about this school to warrant an eponymous category. If there is no consensus to delete, then the category should be renamed to Category:King Edward VI High School for Girls, Birmingham to match the main article.

Category:Naval Battles off the Cornish coast

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: upmerge. – Fayenatic London 07:32, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Naval battles are already categorized geographically, by the body of water in which they took place (see Category:Naval battles by sea or ocean). A new category tree for naval battles by coast is unnecessary, could result in a proliferation of categories for hundreds of coasts around the world, and will ultimately be haphazard and arbitrary because "off the coast" is not clearly defined—how close to land must a naval battle be in order for it to be considered "off the coast"? If there is no consensus to upmerge, then the category needs to be renamed to Category:Naval battles off the Cornish coast.

  • Propose deleting Category:All Hong Kong Schools Jing Ying Football Tournament (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Non-notable Schools tournament, fails WP:GNG JMHamo (talk) 02:24, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
