Nominator's rationale: Category for music videos styled to look like film trailers. Seems overly specific and not likely to have many members. Trivialist (talk) 22:38, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:UU staff

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 as proposed; revisit if necessary. There's no consensus to delete and multiple suggestions for alternate names but clear consensus to get the university name in full in there so we can sort that one out now. Timrollpickering (Talk) 14:21, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The current title misleadingly implies that this is a category for encyclopedic content, which is presumably what led to it being wrogly parented by @Rathfelder in Category:Uppsala University people. (Now fixed[1])
It is actually a category for editors who are staff of Uppsala University, populated via ((Profile UU)).
I have not found any similar categories for staff of a particular university, so I'm not aware of any naming convention to follow, other than that the title should include the word "Wikipedian". BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:14, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not too sure how I got here, but I'm dissappointed -Roxy, the dog. wooF 19:26, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, Roxy, please don't do this to me.
I thought you were a real live person who added colour to the world ... but now you seem to be telling me that you are just a character in a Pratchett novel. How can I cope with this sad news? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:52, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • These users should list themselves on a project page. Category:Wikiproject Upsala University participants would be appropriate, for instance. We already have an "Alma mater" category system and have deleted previous "Wikipedians by employer" categories. If we suddenly allowed them or started a new category system we would need to delineate the criteria so we can come up with a new naming convention and better be able to determine appropriate vs. inappropriate employer categories (What's to stop someone creating a category for employees at their local corner store without criteria for creation set?). Also a category specifically for employees or students excludes people who are not associated with the university but nonetheless wish to collaborate on that topic, bringing me back to suggesting the Wikiproject. VegaDark (talk) 19:15, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd support any renaming that keeps the group. However, WikiProject Uppsala University makes it sound like it's a project dedicated to improving coverage of Uppsala University. That's not what it is. I'll state for the record that yes, this is presently an employer category, and I see zero problems with that. Without trying to decide every possible case, a university would be a textbook example of an "appropriate employer". Having said that, it sounds like we can resolve this if we make a group title that makes it clear anyone can join. Maybe Category:Wikipedians supporting the article writing project based at Uppsala University? Or Category:WikiProject based at Uppsala University for Improving Coverage of Academic Subjects participants? Or Category:Wikipedians associated with the Uppsala University article-writing project, with a note in the category that anyone may "associate"? Kevinsam2 (talk) 13:56, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a page anywhere on Wikipedia detailing what this article writing project is? Where do these users collaborate? The category should match the project name. I could support a rename to something like Category:Wikipedian participants in the Uppsala University article writing project. This would solve my major issues of categorizing by employer as well as excluding people who are not associated with the university from helping. VegaDark (talk) 19:15, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
