NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Jewish philanthropists
- Category:Jewish philanthropists - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete WP:OC#CATGRS. Serves no purpose except to support the obsessions of certain editors. Trivial. Bulldog 22:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Category:TED Speakers
Category:TED Speakers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete (and add to the existing list article) - Categorizing individuals on the basis of conferences at which they have spoken is a prime example of WP:OCAT, of the "performer-by-performance" variety. I am well aware of the high regard that many have for the TED conferences, but it is hardly unique in its perceived stature in the world of conferences, which is a very large world.

Category:Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in America
- Propose renaming Category:Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in America to Category:Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in the United States
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Longstanding policy to prefer "the United States" to "America" which is ambiguous. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 21:05, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Category:Birth in 1951
- Category:Birth in 1951 - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Underpopulated and not according to general Wiki convention. THE FOUNDERS INTENT 14:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Comment – this contained only User:Kubek15/vladimir-cech which I have now removed; so it's probably speediable. Occuli (talk) 15:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- 'Delete, already covered by Category:1951 births Jezhotwells (talk) 17:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Category:People from Rochester, Medway
- Propose renaming Category:People from Rochester, Medway to Category:People from Rochester, Kent
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Rochester is still in the County of Kent; Medway is merely a unitary authority for administrative purposes, not a new county. It's not like the metropolitan counties created in 1974, which actually were counties. The parent category is Category:Rochester, Kent, as is the article on the city. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Occuli (talk) 14:48, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Rename as argued by nominator. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Category:Three times annually journals
- Propose renaming Category:Three times annually journals to Category:Triannual journals
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Wouldn't the word for this just be "triannual"? Good Ol’factory 09:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Support - although it does alleviate the rather predictable pattern in Category:Journals by publication frequency. (Its creator is probably following the advice in triannual. 'Thrice' is a word that is underused these days.) Occuli (talk) 12:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- (There is also Category:Eight times annually magazines.) Occuli (talk) 21:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Rename per nom, or to avoid confusion with "triennal": Category:Journals with three issues a year. Johnbod (talk) 18:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Category:Public libraries in Chicago
- Propose renaming Category:Public libraries in Chicago to Category:Chicago Public Library (or, if not, Category:Public libraries in Chicago, Illinois)
- Nominator's rationale: These are all part of one system, the Chicago Public Library system. So rather than rename it "Public libraries in Chicago, Illinois," I'd suggest naming it something more specific.--Mike Selinker (talk) 06:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Comment - Shouldn't the category name reflect the fact that it's for the CPL system? IOW, Category:Chicago Public Library system?? Cgingold (talk) 08:48, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Comment - do we have anything similar elsewhere? Why not just follow the standard formulation in Category:Public libraries in Illinois? I would go for 1. "Public libraries in Chicago, Illinois" 2. Category:Chicago Public Library system. 'Chicago Public Library' sounds to me like a single library building (the article should perhaps have system tacked on, too.) Occuli (talk) 12:10, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- There is Category:Minneapolis Public Library. And also Category:Chicago Public Schools. Neither uses "system," though they could. The state category defines libraries from multiple governmental entities, but this one (and the Minneapolis category) defines just one. So I thought being specific made more sense. However, if I'm alone in this belief, then I propose the obvious alternate Category:Public libraries in Chicago, Illinois.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- It makes admirable sense - I'll change to 1=. Category:Public libraries in Chicago, Illinois 1=. Category:Chicago Public Library 1=. Category:Chicago Public Library system. (Ask Obama.) Occuli (talk) 15:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Comment - In my initial comment (above) I was going on the assumption that what you said was correct. But it seems to me that in the absence of definitive confirmation that there is not even a single other library in Chicago that can properly be described as "public", we should play it safe and rename to Category:Public libraries in Chicago, Illinois.
