I think that the nominator is saying that the top level category should spell out the name, and then it's OK for the by-year subcategories to use the abbreviated form. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:49, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that is what I mean. See such categories for other states here in Category:Members of the state Legislative Assemblies of India too .Thanks Shyamsunder (talk) 10:45, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We can use this nomination to decided whether to go with A or B and then accordingly change the other ones if needed. Am pro using "ABC MLAs" instead of the longer "Member of the ABC Assembly" format. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:07, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And that's because someone thought WP:SIMPLICITY would be covered under WP:COMMONSENSE. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:48, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Muslim views of biblical figures to Category:Biblical figures in Islam
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The current title looks awkward in the articles on individual biblical figures (Aaron, Eve, etc). There are articles both with the "..in Islam" titles and without in the category. Brandmeistertalk 20:55, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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; merge contents as proposed. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:41, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a container category and a duplication the "of Asian descent" category and the "of African descent" category. I've gone through the descent categories in detail and I don't believe there is another "of Middle Eastern and North African descent" category. Many, if not all of the categories in Category:Israeli people of Middle Eastern and North African descent are also filed in the Asian descent and African descent categories so little merging would need to be done. It is primarily a question if this unusually named category should be deleted. Liz Read! Talk! 18:39, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:All-Russia Exhibition Centre to Category:VDNKh (Russia)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Previous name was officially restored yesterday, when, according to Interfax, the appropriate change was made in the Russian Unified State Register of Legal Entities: [1]. Same in other national sources: [2]. Brandmeistertalk 17:45, 15 May 2014 (UTC)----[reply]

Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: These are mainspace templates, not project templates. There parent is Category:Anglican denomination templates, so I have propose "Anglican denomination" instead of "Anglicanism". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:16, 15 May 2014 (UTC)----[reply]

Category:Livetronica music groups

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. However, there seems to be a consensus that if there aren't reliable sources that refer to the groups that are in the category as "livetronica" groups, then they can be removed from the category. That may result in an empty category, which may then be speedily deleted. In this case, doing so should not be considered an out-of-process emptying of the category, since it was discussed here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category for a "genre" page with no reliable sources, currently prodded. was tagged as CSD-G1, courtesy nomination. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 11:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - Well, the article about livetronica currently has two reliable sources, so I think as long as the article doesn't get deleted, this category shouldn't be deleted neither. However, the bands can be removed from it, if they aren't backed by those sources. --Λeternus (talk) 15:59, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the "reliable sources" are not what they appear, the word livetronica is a neologism that appears - if we rely on the sources - to be attributable to a single small opinion-editorial that appeared in Entertainment Weekly. The other source mentions in passing that a single band has been called "livetronica," at some point, by someone. The two weak sources are then used together in a synthetic fashion to give the appearance of proper sourcing. As for the category, where are the reliable sources to support the notion that these bands are explicitly associated with something called "livetronica"? there is nothing notable in any of this. Semitransgenic talk. 17:54, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep as per Λeternus. See also Talk:Livetronica#Prod and the notability of the term. If the article stays, then the category does too, but there has to be some threshold (namely, WP:V) for inclusion in it. I've responded to Semitransgenic's concerns about the article at its talk page (FYI, the article had already been prodded once, by me). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
the bands here are totted as "livetronica" acts because someone has added the "livetronica" article link to each of the band articles, this we know, but verifiability does not exist here, it is WP:OR if we do not have reliable sources to support what is offered, it's simply someone's opinion, based on what they consider to be "livetronica," this is an issue with many category and list based articles, but worse here because the notability of this "livetronica" neologism is open to question.
