NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Holocaust survivors

Category:Holocaust survivors (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Such categories have recently been deleted in other cases. Certainly, we cannot employ different rules for different peoples. UweBayern (talk) 05:21, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:British O class submarines

Propose renaming Category:British O class submarines to Category:Odin class submarines
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the name of main article, Odin class submarine. — Bellhalla (talk) 04:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians in Russell, Ontario

Category:Wikipedians in Russell, Ontario (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete or merge to Category:Wikipedians in Prescott-Russell - "Wikipedians by small location" category. Russell, Ontario has a population of only 14,000. Too small of a location to efficiently group Wikipedians to support collaboration. Precedent to delete similar categories here amongst other discussions.

Category:Fantasy conventions

Suggest merging Category:Fantasy conventions to Category:Fantasy tropes and conventions
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Single entry category. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
In doing more digging, I suspect that convention here is not the same one as where people go, but rather is the way you do things in fantasy literature. If so, we may need to consider what should be done. Any experts following this discussion? 01:55, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:North American Science Fiction Conventions

Suggest merging Category:North American Science Fiction Conventions to Category:American science fiction conventions
Nominator's rationale: Merge. While correct, the present name is confusing. Despite the name, this is an American convention and it would be less confusing if the contents were merged into the parent (which I just changed). Right now there are only three articles, so the merge should not present any problems. If more of the individual conventions get articles, then we may need to create a solution to the confusing name if we create a category. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:Descriptive technique

Suggest merging Category:Descriptive technique to Category:Literary techniques
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge or delete As we continue to work through the literary devices/techniques categories, this one is an odd little collection (to me anyway) of grammatical terminology, literary techniques and styles. I have removed Noun from this category as it is not a "technique," and suggest that the rest be upmerged, or just delete the category entirely? There is still an awful lot of duplication in this area, I feel, with Category:Descriptive technique, Category:Literary techniques, Category:Literary devices, Category:Narrative techniques and still others possibly overlapping, but I do want to tread carefully. Your suggestions are most welcome. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
