August 30

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Number-one singles in Brazil

Category:Number-one singles in Brazil - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Per Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Hot100Brasil, this chart was found to be not-notable / questionable / not-legit and was deleted. Therefore there does not seem to be any basis or source for this category. References to Brazil Hot 100/Brazil Singles Chart are being removed from song/album/discography articles, so having this category makes no sense. - eo (talk) 13:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Category:Micronations in Australia

Category contains 6 articles. Unlikely to ever cointain more.

Category:Micronations in Austria

Category:Micronations in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Category contains only 1 article. Unlikely to ever contain more.

Category:Micronations in Canada

Category contains 3 articles. Unlikely to contain any others.

Category:Micronations in Denmark

Category contains only 1 article. Future possibility of 1 other.

Category:Micronations in England

Category:Micronations in Finland

Category contains only 1 article. Unlikely to ever conain more.

Category:Micronations in France

Category:Micronations in Scotland

Category contains 2 articles. Unlikely to ever contain more.

Category:Micronations in Sweden

Category contains only 1 article. Unlikely to ever contain more.

Category:Micronations in the United Kingdom

Category content is identical to England / Scotland categories. Redundant.

Category:Micronations in the United States

Category contains 8 articles. Future possibility of 1-3 others.

Delete. All of the above single country-based categories were unilaterally introduced without rationale, discussion, consensus or reference to the relevant Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Micronations. Fully 7 out of 15 categories above contain only 1 article, and almost all of those are extremely unlikely to ever contain more than that. There are only 63 articles about or related to micronations in Misplaced Pages, so the introduction of multiple 1-article mini-categories per the above introduces a confusing, unneccesary and totally preposterous level of granularity to this particular subset of WP articles. --Gene_poole (talk) 12:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep, per precedent on finite cats, eg. Category:English popes. Please also read WP:OWN. Please note that User:Gene Poole went round manually emptying categories (and in the process blanket reverting all other minor edits, eg other cats and links). They have been warned about this behaviour on their Talk page. --Mais oui! (talk) 11:52, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Discussion re "Micronations" categories

Note: Could some Admin please make sure that this discussion is dealt with in a oner, and not all over the place? --Mais oui! (talk) 12:00, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not an Admin, but I've left a note for Gene Poole asking him to bundle these into one section. Cgingold (talk) 12:07, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

And I'm advising him on how to set it up. Cgingold (talk) 12:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I've finished my part -- they're all bundled into one section now. I left the slight variants for Gene Poole to merge as he likes into a single rationale paragraph. Cgingold (talk) 12:38, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh well, I tried. Cgingold (talk) 13:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Category:Infusions

Delete - This category really serves no purpose whatsover, since pretty much every herbal remedy can be prepared as an infusion if one wishes to do so. Notified creator with {{subst:cfd-notify}} Cgingold (talk) 11:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Category:Military drugs

Delete - While I understand the intent of this category, I don't believe it actually makes very much sense as a Category, since all drugs are used interchangeably in the civilian and military domains. As far as I know, there are no exclusively military drugs. Even the lone article in the category is about a drug delivery system, not a drug per se (and is already included in Category:Military medicine).

Category:Non-article South Australia pages

Propose renaming Category:Non-article South Australia pages to Category:NA-Class South Australia articles

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To follow WP1.0 category conventions, there are no pages categorised under the current name, and there are pages categorised under the proposed name. TRS-80 (talk) 10:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Rename per nom. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Category:Tense, aspect, Aktionsart

Delete and upmerge contents to parent cats. Besides being rather oddly named, I don't think this category has any real utility. It basically groups two sub-categories that can just as well stand by themselves -- and probably be located more easily without the intervening category layer. In addition, it seems too specialized to have any real potential for growth. Notified creator with {{subst:cfd-notify}} Cgingold (talk) 08:57, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Category:Circumpolar species

Suggest merging Category:Circumpolar species to Category:Wildlife of the Arctic

Nominator's rationale: Seems to be a lot of overlap here. Suggest upmerge to parent as unsure which articles should go where. Ring species, as the category page says, is related, but is not the same thing. See also Category talk:Circumpolar species. Either that, or rename to Category:Polar species (or whatever the best name is) and make the Arctic one and Category:Wildlife of Antarctica (currently Category:Biota of Antarctica - what should the names be??) the two subcategories.
