September 3

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Old bands with new lead singers

Delete, It's an interesting topic, but I think it would work better as a list article. Do you agree? -- ProveIt 16:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. Chapters

Delete, this is a list, not a category. Content should be listed within Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. -- ProveIt 15:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:United States energy legislation

Delete, a little premature. At the moment it serves only as an extra parent to Category:United States federal energy legislation. It may be back later if someone finds or creates some state legislation articles. -- ProveIt 15:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Anti-Atheism

Category:Anti-Atheism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • The criteria for inclusion in this category are vague at best. Does merely advocating that Christianity or some other religion is true make a person "Anti-Atheism"? That criterion is far too weak to support a meaningful category. NatusRoma | Talk 14:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:List of music videos using animation

Delete, promotional category for Anuj Nair. -- ProveIt 14:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:List of power pop musicians

Delete, another promotional category for Anuj Nair. -- ProveIt

Category:Kanto Region Rail Stations

Category:Kanto Region Rail Stations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Category:List of albums (A)

Delete, Exists only to promote Simple Truth and Anuj Nair. -- ProveIt 14:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:List of Singer-songwriter

Merge into Category:Singer-songwriters, created only to promote Anuj Nair. -- ProveIt 14:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Postwar films about World War Two

Category:Postwar films about World War Two (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete, This category is imprecisely named. Either it was intended to be a category for films about after WWII (in which case it's never been used for that purpose), or it is meant for WWII films made after the end of the war. If that was the case, there is a category for films made during the war so it is not necessary to have a category for films made after the end of the war as their absence from the "during the war" category automatically makes them postwar films. Mallanox 13:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Elle Macpherson

Delete, another personal supermodel category. -- ProveIt 13:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Works of fiction featuring revenants and zombies

Category:Works of fiction featuring revenants and zombies to Category:Zombies and revenants in fiction


Category:Horror fiction magazines

Category:Horror fiction magazines into Category:Horror magazines

  • Merge, Both categories are comprised of magazines that primarily deal in fiction and Horror magazines has a sub-category (Horror journals) for non-fiction works. Nick Curtis 13:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


Category:My Network TV

Category:Islam and controversy

Category:Islam and controversy to Category:Islam-related controversies


Category:Mormonism and controversy

Category:Mormonism and controversy to Category:Mormonism-related controversies


Category:Christianity and controversy

Category:Christianity and controversy to Category:Christianity-related controversies


Wikipedian football (soccer) fans

and this basketball team:

I made everything match the current article title, or the league's spelling of FC (with or without periods). (Note that there are two Newcastle Uniteds.) And of course, I'll be sad to see the delightfully ambiguous category:Wikipedians who support Reading go, but there you are.--Mike Selinker 09:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Black lawyers

  • Oppose proposed renaming of the category to "African American lawyers". Although the bulk of the lawyers on the list are American, a sizeable minority are not, and would need to be moved to a new category. Legis 08:19, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Self-hating Jews (alleged)

Delete as an inherently POV category that will inevitably be used to support certain points of view.--Jersey Devil 04:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Delete as per Jersey Devil.--Oakhouse 04:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Strong Keep: this is based on a wikipedia article Self-hating Jew. It is a known discussed phenomena that gives no less than 73,000 results in google. . It says alleged on the category just to make sure it will remain WP:NPOV. Therre are many sourced allegations for any article being considerd fit for the category (very few will make it probably). In conclusion then, there's no reason what-so-ever to consider this category for deletion. Amoruso 04:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Delete, and the sooner the better. This category is POV-pushing at its worst. CJCurrie 04:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
I would like to draw the attention of readers to this post, made by the poster who created this category. CJCurrie 06:11, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
thank you, I was going to do that myself you saved me the trouble. It is a weird phenomena that is analysed by universities why people hate their own people in a perverted way. Self hating is a known phenomena in cultures and is a real issue. People who want to delete this category because they don't understand it are speaking of ignorance of the issue I'm afraid, and it's too bad they're casting their votes without understanding it or learning about it. Shahak being a sourced anti semite is indeed the best example for self hating jew among others. This is all covered in Sander Gilman's book Jewish Self-Hatred.Amoruso 06:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I would have thought that my decade covering racism and hate crimes as a reporter (with something of a specialty in anti-Semitism and Holocaust survivors) might have qualified me to vote on this category, but now I know better. Thanks for clearing that up.--Mike Selinker 08:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Delete: Only one definitively "fits" the category, and adding "alleged" doesn't make the Category more encyclopedic. -Umdunno 05:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can think of one reason what-so-ever to consider this category for deletion: It's the worst idea for a category I've seen in months. No one will ever definitively fit here, and thank heaven for that.--Mike Selinker
  • Delete. This is an attempt to create a blacklist. --Zero 07:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Self-hating Jew" had a certain meaning years ago, but nowadays it is generally used to mean "Jew who does not support Israel 110%". There is no way this can be an objective category. --Dhartung | Talk 12:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:People of Assam

Merge into Category:People from Assam. -- ProveIt 01:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Current Australian game shows

Delete, time based categories are always on specific ranges, we don't distinguish between current and former due to upkeep issues. -- ProveIt 01:09, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Framingham-based companies

Rename to Category:Companies based in Framingham, Massachusetts, or Delete, no preference. -- ProveIt 00:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Relevance? Michael 01:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename and make sure it's populated, seems there should be more. I have no objection to these in principle but it shouldn't be orphaned within a state, obvious exceptions being e.g. Boston, but that doesn't exist. Half a dozen states have city breakdowns, California has a county breakdown level. --Dhartung | Talk 03:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Educational institutions named after U.S. presidents

Delete, not a distinguishing characteristic. However, I think it could make a fine list article. -- ProveIt 00:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Companies based in Germany

Merge into Category:Companies of Germany, convention of Category:Companies by country. -- ProveIt 00:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
