Nope. No existing category covers Islamist plots against US interests worldwide. Certain subcategories discuss Islamist Plots incedents in New York, for example. None duplicate this. The race-baiting strawman in the protest "Category:Islamofascist plots" is noted, resented and rejected. --] (]) 03:10, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Islamist Terrorist plots against United States' interests

Category:Islamist Terrorist plots against United States' interests - was created and populated by a single user in an hour. Seems to build on already-existing categories, as I explained on his talk page "All of those articles are already listed as terrorist plots, they don't need each person to go add a new type of category, they don't need "Category:Islamofascist terrorist", "Category:Islamist terrorism", "Category:Islamic terrorist attacks", "Category:Muslim terror plots", "Category:Islamic terrorist plots" and "Category:Islamofascist plots to commit terrorism". It seems he wishes to differentiate based on "interests" (this seems to mean against the United States, which already exists as a category, and against an Embassy, again, already a category), which seems a terribly subjective term. For example, the 1994 Brooklyn Bridge shooting which he added to the category targeted Jews, not Americans, and the 1977 Hanafi Siege was due to a "list of demands", which makes it a hostagetaking, not a terrorist attack - at least subjectively.

Category:Traditional/folk music world-wide

Category:Traditional/folk music world-wide - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete or rename. We shouldn't have a slash in a category name like this, and this category seems to be better covered by other categories. If kept, give a better name. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 02:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Category:Roman Catholic schools

Propose renaming Category:Roman Catholic schools to Category:Catholic schools
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I bring this up to generate some discussion. There is no reason why Eastern Catholic schools should be excluded from this cat. In many countries I am sure that Roman and Eastern Catholics operate seperate schools, and in that case, fine, seperate them. But places like Canada the same Catholic school hierarchy runs all Catholic schools, for Latins and those from other rites. It also beter fits the main article Catholic school. I have listed this nom at wikiproject Catholicism and wikiproject Schools--Kevlar (talkcontribs) 01:25, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Category:Former railway stations

Category:Former railway stations - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete or Merge. Duplicates Category:Defunct railway stations. OR failing that, make one for stations that are no longer used but still standing, and one for stations that no longer exist. --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 00:33, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Category:Military forts of Acadia

Category:Military forts of Acadia - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Acadia was never sovereign state nor did it ever posess a seperate military. These were forts of France or of Great Britain that happened to be in the geographic area of Acadia (today's Maritime Provinces of Canada). The content is better covered by cats by state like Category:French forts in North America and cats by locale like Category:Military forts in Nova Scotia. --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 00:17, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
