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 This category has been superseded by Category:Misplaced Pages requested photographs of food.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)
- Support - I would have just tagged it with a {{speedy}} since it had been superseded by the new cat. --Jeremy (blah blah) 19:22, 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. PasswordUsername (talk) 19:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Category:Accused Soviet spies (because it is significantly populated by ~40 articles), but delete several subcategories like Category:Americans accused of spying for the Soviet Union per nominator, because these sub-cats are populated only by a few articles. If we delete Category:Accused Soviet spies, everything should be moved to parent Category:Soviet spies.Biophys (talk) 19:31, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- My view is that Category:Soviet spies (and also Category:Russian spies) are named like nationality categories and should be rephrased to something like 'People accused of spying for the Soviet Union'. Occuli (talk) 19:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
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)
- Merge but to Category:Films about actors (as there is Category:Actors which includes female ones). (There is Category:Novels about actresses but not Category:Novels about actors.) Occuli (talk) 10:07, 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)
- Merge but to Category:Documentaries about actors. Occuli (talk) 10:08, 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)
