Category:Jena Irene

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:24, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. WP:OCAT#EPONYMOUS violation as an eponymous category for a person who doesn't have the volume of spinoff content necessary to warrant one — the only content in it is her head article and an (also unnecessary) Category:Images of Jena Irene category which contains only a single album cover.

Category:Affiliated Hospitals of School of Medicine, SJTU

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 Category:University hospitals in Shanghai. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:54, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. This a partial collection of the hospitals used as teaching hospitals for a school. As such they are associated with the school, not something we usually base categorization on and not necessarily defining in and of it self. The schools article already has a complete list of the hospitals that are affiliated. If kept, the SJTU needs to be expanded since it is an abbreviation. That would probably make the category name, Category:Teaching hospitals for the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:25, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Universities and colleges to either Category:Higher education institutions or Category:Tertiary education institutions (edited 14:24, 19 June 2014 (UTC))
704 more subcats
Nominator's rationale: I understand that this is intended as a container category covering all types of institutions of higher education, serving to bridge different countries' differences in the difference between the terms "university" and "college". However, "universities and colleges" isn't entirely inclusive. Many of the country subcats have seminaries, military academies, law schools, technology institutes, etc. as their members, which isn't reflected in the container's name. Renaming the tree as such should make it more intuitive as to what subcats can be expected. Paul_012 (talk) 17:01, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:55, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: 1910 is an arbitrary cutoff date - I see no reason to group films together simply for being from before 1910. We do group things, some times, by decade or century - and pre-1910 isn't that. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:48, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Propose upmerging:

Rationalle: All of thewse categories are undersized - all are below 50, and the scans show that there aren't enough stubs to bring any of them above. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:40, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Generally 60 is for creating, 50 is for keeping - the difference allows for the size to change slightly back and forth without recreating and redeleting it every time. We generally acceept slightly smaller numbers for categories with oversized parents, and half of those numbers for the main stub category of a WikiProject. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 02:33, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:International national basketball competitions to Category:International basketball competitions for national teams
Nominator's rationale: Unclear naming now. As option, maybe upmerge to Category:International basketball competitions. NickSt (talk) 10:23, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category no longer necessary. The contents barely met the threshold for stub categories to begin with, but after some stub sorting, most of the articles have a more specific stub tag that makes this one unnecessary. So this category should be deleted, and similar to ((1900s-comedy-film-stub)), the template ((1900s-drama-film-stub)) (8 articles) should be upmerged to Category:Pre-1910 film stubs and Category:Silent drama film stubs. Fortdj33 (talk) 06:37, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I admit that I sorted most of those articles into Category:Short silent drama film stubs before I proposed this deletion, but I don't see the need to have two drama stub tags on the same article. In my opinion, it is redundant to include both ((1900s-drama-film-stub)) and ((short-silent-drama-film-stub)), when both of them feed into sub categories of Category:Silent drama film stubs. Fortdj33 (talk) 12:06, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
One feeds into the drama film stub category, the other into the short film stub category. They're not inclusive. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:21, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
