NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Food and drink articles needing photo

Category:Food and drink articles needing photo - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category has been superseded by Category:Misplaced Pages requested photographs of food. The {{WikiProject Food and drink}} template has been updated to add articles to that category. Discussion at Template talk:WikiProject Food and drink concurs with this proposal. Tim Pierce (talk) 16:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Support. --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Category:Rosenborg B.K.

Propose renaming Category:Rosenborg B.K. to Category:Rosenborg BK
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The shouls not be dots in the article name. The articles name is Rosenborg BK. The subcats Category:Rosenborg B.K. players and Category:Rosenborg B.K. managers should also be renamed. Rettetast (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Category:Americans accused of spying for the Soviet Union

Category:Americans accused of spying for the Soviet Union - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: No uniform standard for what constitutes an accusation of espionage. Category has been used to propagate baseless McCarthyist accusations. Greg Comlish (talk) 14:11, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Part of a larger scheme, Category:Accused spies, which includes multiple layers of subcategories. Which doesn't make it alright, of course, but if the problem is the vagueness of "accused" then the whole scheme is equally problematic and should be dealt with all at once. Postdlf (talk) 14:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment – the parent Category:Accused Soviet spies needs a rename (at least). Agree with Postdlf that the whole tree needs attention. Occuli (talk) 15:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment - The category shows definite bias, but I strongly suggest that it should be kept for practical reasons, since experience shows that biased editors will simply stuff unconvicted people into , as a small but very actively committed group of editors has been doing since 2004, going by "interpretations" of the Venona archives propounded largely only by historians Haynes & Klehr. I would support deleting the parent category "Accused Soviet spies" because the inane wording suggests that the were spies who were accused, rather than people accused of being spies.

Category:Films about actors

Suggest merging Category:Films about actors to Category:Films about actresses
Nominator's rationale: These categories are sparsely-populated, it seems unnecessary to divide the topic by gender. — TAnthony 09:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Category:Documentaries about actors

Suggest merging Category:Documentaries about actors to Category:Documentaries about actresses
Nominator's rationale: These categories are sparsely-populated, it seems unnecessary to divide the topic by gender. — TAnthony 09:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Category:Session wrestlers

Category:Session wrestlers - Template:Lc1
Category:Session wrestlers by nationality - Template:Lc1
Category:American session wrestlers - Template:Lc1
Category:Czech session wrestlers - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: Delete. OCAT. This structure contains two articles plus the main article which has major issues including OR and reliable sources. The categories been around for a year so, so it does not appear likely we will see much growth. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:26, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
I removed Nicole Bass from the American category since inclusion was not supported by the article text. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:57, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
