August 26

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Family and early life

Nominator's rationale: This category will probably only ever have one purpose, which is to host this person's user page. Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 15:37, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Userify as an article -- This is a draft article (or more probably a section of one) sitting in category space. It should go into the creator's sandbox so that he can turn it inot a proper article, which can be uploaded, it then passes a new article test. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:57, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Category:More Turkey categories

Nominator's rationale: Rename. WP uses Ottoman Empire not Turkey for periods before 1922. All lead to a single article. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:11, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I am also proposing:

From 1905 there are sporting sub-cats which are automatically populating annual categories, including category-redirects. I do not know how to fix this. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:03, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Some of these may be tagged for rename rather than merge, due to the omission of "the". Peterkingiron (talk) 15:54, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
I hope this is a complete nom. I am seeking to merge/rename years in Turkey to years in the Ottoman Empire, but to merge establishments into decades in the Ottoman Empire. One of the 1880s categories includes something for Egypt, which may be theoretically correct, but Egypt was (I think) effectively self-governing by then. If I have missed anything, please add it.

Category:Television awards for Best Younger Actor

Nominator's rationale: These categories are unnecessary (the 3 articles in them are in other categories), don't fit into the category tree (these categories are themselves uncategorized) and (if kept) would need to be renamed to avoid excessive capitalisation.

Category:SIGMOD Edgar F. Codd Innovations Award winners

Nominator's rationale: Having received this award is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic (see WP:OC#AWARD). For info: There is a list at SIGMOD Edgar F. Codd Innovations Award#Recipients. DexDor (talk) 05:29, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Category:20th-century Indian film actresses

Nominator's rationale: This can be adequately covered by Category:20th-century Indian actresses and Category:Indian film actresses. No other subcategory of Category:20th-century actresses categorizes by medium. StAnselm (talk) 00:54, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Category:LSD users

Nominator's rationale: Delete. I don't think this is a good idea for a category, due to WP:BLP concerns. Also, this is rarely going to be a defining characteristic for anyone. Zagalejo^^^ 00:20, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
