Category:Places of interest in Kristiansand

The result of the discussion was: delete; the sole article in it was already categorized in a subcategory of Category:Tourist attractions in Norway. It is also in Category:Tourism in Kristiansand. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not possible or feasible to define "interest". Strictly speaking, all our articles related to the city Kristiansand should be included here, since a topic has to catch interest (notability) to be included in Wikipedia. Geschichte (talk) 21:25, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Things named after Nnamdi Azikiwe (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Propose deleting Category:Buildings and structures named after Nnamdi Azikiwe
Nominator's rationale: These categories group together an airport, a stadium and a university on the basis of how they are named. See WP:SHAREDNAME. DexDor (talk) 20:47, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This category falls under Category:Things named after people. A really helpful category showcasing how something or someone notable has been celebrated. Not everybody gets something significant named after them. Stanleytux (talk) 21:12, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Categories are indended to group articles about similar subjects, not to "showcase" anything. DexDor (talk) 21:59, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What happens after they are grouped? Stanleytux (talk) 22:13, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's already there: Nnamdi Azikiwe#Honours. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:51, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are also thousands of other people who have had things named after them and we do not usually have such a category (e.g. Einstein - CFD). DexDor (talk) 21:59, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe we don't usually have such a category but we do have Category:Things named after people which is like the main category containing a bunch of things named after notable people. Stanleytux (talk) 22:08, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would also favor deleting/listifying Category:Things named after Taras Shevchenko. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:47, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to to Category:Places in New Jersey that prohibit the sale of alcohol. – Fayenatic London 16:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Dry places in New Jersey to Category:Dry municipalities in New Jersey
Nominator's rationale: Rename. A CFD for this category was a resounding "keep" last month, and another was just closed as "keep" a few hours ago, but today's closer specifically noted that there was no consensus regarding the name itself; the first "keep" was consensus against deletion, and the second was against splitting the category into several pieces. I'm just suggesting that we change the name without changing the category's scope. Basically, the name is confusing, because it makes it sound as if this category embraces locations with little rainfall, not locations that prohibit the sale of alcohol. The previous CFD attracted several people who advocated for "dry jurisdictions" or "dry municipalities"; I'm suggesting "municipalities" because "jurisdictions" can embrace non-municipalities, such as school districts and entire counties, which aren't what we're looking for here. While "dry places" could refer to spots without rain, anyone will understand that precipitation doesn't follow municipal boundaries, so even the reader who's never heard this sense of "dry" will understand that it's something unrelated to rainfall. Final note: at the previous CFD, someone noted that one article in the category wasn't a separate municipality. I've removed this category from the article because it's a different situation: it's a privately owned community, and the landowner prohibits the sale of alcohol. "Dry" in this sense refers to legal jurisdictions of whatever sort that enact laws forbidding alcohol sales, not private owners that choose not to sell it or use contracts and similar civil law tools to prevent sales on their own property; otherwise we could put most fast-food restaurants in the category too, since they generally don't sell alcohol and don't allow others to sell alcohol on their own grounds.

That's a really interesting piece of history near me that I was not aware of but, according to the article, the official theocratic rule ended in 1981. Sources are scared but I'm guessing the church is restricting alcohol now because they own all the land in the town (or in the neighborhood, it's only a 3rd of a square mile) and won't lease it to alcohol merchants. If so, such a private lease restriction is the same as a legal ban, it's more like if the LDS Church decided not to rent to anyone selling alcohol in City Creek Center (which was considered).

Nominator's rationale: Trying this way again. Nothing personal with the Finnish music industry but the discussions for Australia single certifications and this discussion shows there is support that these designatations are WP:NON-DEFINING characteristics for the albums. Picking an article at random, Greatest Hits (Eurythmics album) for example without be better off without categories for all the various album certifications.

  • Propose Deleting Category:Stradivari violas
Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C1, an empty category.
Wikipedia doesn't have even a single article about a Stradivarius viola. Instead, this category has 1 redirect to a string quartet that played with four Stradivarius instruments, including a viola. That's a tenuous basis for a category. The list of known Stradivarius instruments does include several violas so no objection to recreating once we have some actual articles.
