April 1

Category:Vlad

Category:Vlad (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete, as unrelated subjects with shared names. -- Prove It 23:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Cleveland Browns starting quarterbacks

Category:Cleveland Browns starting quarterbacks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Merge into Category:Cleveland Browns players, this seem a little too narrow. -- Prove It 22:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Catalan sport

Category:Catalan sport (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Merge into Category:Sport in Catalonia, convention of Category:Sport in Spain by autonomous community. -- Prove It 22:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
And the articles in the subcategory "Catalan sport" are usually about sports where Catalonia is not recognized internationally.
I think that there would be a difference with the two kinds of situation, but I don't know what's the way to show this. Perhaps is correct doing "Catalan sport" a subcategory in "Sport in Catalonia" or creating another subcategory. Puigsacalm 20:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Super Eight teams

Category:Super Eight teams (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete, as non defining, already listed in Super Eight. -- Prove It 22:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Being a Super Eight team is a huge deal for a Massachusetts high school. Not all high school articles discuss the achievement much, if at all. The examples given for "non defining", such as "Cities with a McDonalds", are not the same thing. Stoneice02 23:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - The Super Eight is a hockey tournament for Massachusetts high school ice hockey teams. The tournament alone is not a primary defining characteristic of the schools. Moreover, since many schools have teams that participate in many sports, categories for all tournaments would be excessively long for some schools. This is not a practical way to categorize high schools. Dr. Submillimeter 12:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Dr. Sub. Recury 13:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The information is already at Super Eight. If it's not already included on the article pages that are in this category, then they shouldn't be in this category anyway. Write it out on the articles and it can be qualified with years, locations, etc. — coelacan07:21, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Pokemon more than 500 lb

Category:Pokemon more than 500 lb (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I really think this should be renamed to "Pokémon more than 500 lb", but I need other people's opinion. TheBlazikenMaster 21:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Notable video game failures

Category:Notable video game failures (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Rename to Category:Video game failures, since notable is presumed. -- Prove It 17:03, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Rename I agree. Since I'm the creator, I'll just go ahead rename it to save us the trouble of bureaucracy. I figured there was a better thing to name the cat, I just couldn't think of it at the time of creation. —Mitaphane ?|! 20:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I've emptied the cat and placed {{db-catempty}} on it. For the closing admin, feel free to close this discussion. —Mitaphane ?|! 20:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Sport in Kurdistan

Category:Sport in Kurdistan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

As per WP:CFD#Category:Airlines of Kurdistan there really is no reason for this category.

Category currently has only three articles. Kurdistan is a small, geographic region, and I really doubt it has enough teams to warrant a category; if necessary a list can be created and included under the main Category:Kurdistan. -- Cat 16:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete, This is an article in category space ... should be restored to ALF (TV series). -- Prove It 16:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete The section in the article with this content got copy and pasted back, becoming unwikified. I have restored this. –Pomte 16:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Italian rebels

Category:Italian rebels (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete. Only one entry. No definition of what is meant by 'rebel'. (? artistic? political? sexual?......Italian by nationality? After unification only? Italian by ancestry?) Seems unencyclopaedic, vague and serving no useful purpose. Smerus 11:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:History of the Italian mafia

Propose renaming Category:History of the Italian mafia to Category:History of the Italian Mafia
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, for consistency with proposed renaming of Category:People murdered by the Mafia to Category:People murdered by the Italian Mafia (see below). BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:People murdered by the Mafia

Propose renaming Category:People murdered by the Mafia to Category:People murdered by the Italian Mafia
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, for consistency with parent category Category:History of the Italian mafia, and to avoid confusion with the American mafia and with other crime organisations generaically referred to as "mafia". Note that I am unsure whether mafia should be categorised. I think it should be, and will also nominate the history category, but am neutral on the merits either way. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Platform games

Propose renaming Category:Platform games to Category:Platformers
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, Platformer is the more common usage in the gaming community and press. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 07:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Video games with textual graphics

Propose renaming Category:Video games with textual graphics to Category:Text games
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, The main article is text game, which accurately describes the genre, as opposed to the current category name. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 07:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis games

Propose renaming Category:Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis games to Category:Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, Removed a redundant "Sega" and alphabetized. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 07:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Sarah Hudson albums

You have called {{Contentious topics}}. You probably meant to call one of these templates instead:

Alerting users

  • {{alert/first}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/first}}) is used, on a user's talk page, to "alert", or draw a user's attention, to the contentious topics system if they have never received such an alert before. In this case, this template must be used for the notification.
  • {{alert}} ({{Contentious topics/alert}}) is used, on a user's talk page, to "alert", or draw a user's attention, to the fact that a specific topic is a contentious topic. It may only be used if the user has previously received any contentious topic alert, and it can be replaced by a custom message that conveys the contentious topic designation.
  • {{alert/DS}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/DS}}) is used to inform editors that the old "discretionary sanctions" system has been replaced by the contentious topics system, and that a specific topic is a contentious topic.
  • {{Contentious topics/aware}} is used to register oneself as already aware that a specific topic is a contentious topic.

Miscellaneous

Category:Sarah Hudson albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete, This category only appears on the page for Naked Truth, which is the only album by Sarah Hudson. Hudson has no other albums, and her bio page does not list any forthcoming solo album. Category was created over two years ago with no other additions. Ataricodfish 04:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Screenshots of video games

Propose renaming Category:Screenshots of video games to Category:Video game screenshots
Nominator's Rationale: Rename, Simpler category name. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 04:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


Category:Politics of Quebec

Category:Politics of Quebec (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Clearly, this category contains articles about government institutions, and not just politics. Until I changed it recently, Category:Government of Quebec was a redirect. Before I looked inside Category:Politics of Quebec, I expected it would primarily contain information about political parties, etc., instead of institutions. I suggest that Category:Politics of Quebec be renamed Category:Government and politics of Quebec. Joeldl 04:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

All right, good point about the parent category. But Category:Government of Canada contains a lot of material about institutions and there's a Category:Government by country, so perhaps my suggestion would have to carry up to the parent and sister categories. I will introduce a discussion to this effect below and withdraw this suggestion for the time being. Joeldl 05:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Category:Planets of the Solar System

Category:Planets of the Solar System (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

What do we need this for? Everbody know what the planets of the solar system are! Sheesh. Delete. --Justanother 01:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
