- Rename to Category:Sacramento State, to match Sacramento State. -- ProveIt (talk) 22:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rename as Category:National parks of Bosnia and Herzegovina, convention of Category:National parks. -- ProveIt (talk) 20:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Miami-Dade County Public Housing Projects. -- ProveIt (talk) 20:50, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Wars of Karelia
Category:Wars of Karelia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, the convention is to categorize wars by independent (or at least autonomous) states and groups participating in them. This was never the case for Karelia, and the idea of categorizing military conflicts by their modern geographic location was quite thoroughly rejected a long time ago. Kirill Lokshin 19:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- del per above. --Irpen 19:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Wars of Ingria
Category:Wars of Ingria (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, the convention is to categorize wars by independent (or at least autonomous) states and groups participating in them. This was never the case for Ingria ("Ingria never formed a state; the Ingrians can hardly be said to have been a nation"), and the idea of categorizing military conflicts by their modern geographic location was quite thoroughly rejected a long time ago. Kirill Lokshin 19:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- delete per above. --Irpen 19:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Jewish writers - upper case not necessary for the word "writers". -- the GREAT Gavini 19:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy rename and so tagged. -- ProveIt (talk) 20:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:East Timorese writers, per all the other "writers" categories - Category:Finnish writers, Category:Indonesian writers, etc. -- the GREAT Gavini 19:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, nothing against Rosina Ferrara, but it seems a bit biased. -- ProveIt (talk) 18:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Footballers of the Republic of the Congo, perils of fooian notation, Congo, Category:Footballers of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. -- ProveIt (talk) 17:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:IndyCar
Category:IndyCar (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, Topic adequately covered by Category:Indy Racing League, which already contains the three articles in this category. Recury 17:48, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Centre College alumni, convention of Category:Alumni by university in the United States. -- ProveIt (talk) 17:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Boston Men's Baseball League, one cat will do for something this small. -- ProveIt (talk) 17:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Merge of theme parks to amusement parks
Merge:
- Category:Theme parks into Category:Amusement parks
- Category:Theme parks by country into Category:Amusement parks by country
- Category:Theme parks in Australia into Category:Amusement parks in Australia
- Category:Theme parks in Canada into Category:Amusement parks in Canada
- Category:Theme parks in Hong Kong into Category:Amusement parks in Hong Kong
- Category:Theme parks in the Netherlands into Category:Amusement parks in the Netherlands
- Category:Theme parks in the United States into Category:Amusement parks in the United States
- Category:Theme parks in the United Kingdom into Category:Amusement parks in the United Kingdom
Rename:
- Category:Theme parks in Indonesia to Category:Amusement parks in Indonesia
- Category:Theme parks in Japan to Category:Amusement parks in Japan
- Category:Theme parks in Singapore to Category:Amusement parks in Singapore
Reasons:
- Theme park redirects to amusement park. Looking at the articles, it's not clear why each is in one category or the other. This is confusing to editors. Usgnus 17:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Merge into Category:Medical informatics. Poorly named, all of modern science is (or should be) evidence-based. However, from reading the lead article it seems that it has to do with using data-mining techniques for medicine. If you would like to keep it, please do suggest a better name.-- ProveIt (talk) 17:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - I work for a health care consulting company, and evidence-based medicine is a term that I hear quite often. It's not just something someone made up for Wikipedia. It is named so because while the science of medicine is obviously evidence-based, the practice of medicine in hospitals often isn't. The term is used by groups like the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I could see deleting it on the basis that it has too few articles for a category, but I think it should be given time. However, I would recommend a rename to Category:Evidence-based medicine. —Cswrye 18:42, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- That sounds reasonable. In that case, would you consider changing your vote from Keep to Merge into Category:Evidence-based medicine? -- ProveIt (talk) 22:13, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Evidence-based medicine. -- ProveIt (talk) 22:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, not a distinguishing characteristic. If you would like to keep it, please do suggest a better name. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:50, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Not useful. Rbraunwa 16:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:WikiProject Paranormal articles, per WikiProject conventions. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Whoops, hadn't noticed that other cat when I created this one. --InShaneee 17:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not to worry, it happens all the time... -- ProveIt (talk) 17:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Dragon Ball Character Articles
Category:Dragon Ball Character Articles to Category:Dragon Ball character articles
- Moved from speedy. Tim! 16:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Category:Dragon Ball Character Articles to Category:Dragon Ball character articles --Mike Selinker 12:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Category:Lists of Dragon Ball characters would probably be a better name. - EurekaLott 13:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, per discussions of August 11 and August 30. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --Vossanova o< 16:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Vague. What level of criticism would land someone here? Rbraunwa 17:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Some utility, but not enough. Also too likely to be misused.--T. Anthony 19:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Wikipedians for Denver 2008, for 2008 Democratic National Convention. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Sacramento State alumni, convention of Category:Alumni by university in the United States. -- ProveIt (talk)
- I'm OK with changing it to "Sacramento State", however the school recently was renamed and brands itself as Sacramento State, not CSUS.
- You are correct, and I've updated the nomination to match. -- ProveIt (talk) 22:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Famous Cochranes
Category:Famous Cochranes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, surname category, no encyclopedic use. The text is a copy from Cochrane, which also lists all of the articles that were in this category. It wasn't always empty so it won't qualify for speedy (I emptied it since it was easier to rollback the articles now than removing the cats after more edits have been made in the articles, if the category is kept, i'll revert myself). Bobet 10:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Unless I'm mistaken and we also have Category:Famous Changs, Category:Famous Daleys, Category:Famous Chapmans, etc.--T. Anthony 19:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:IRA murder victims
Category:IRA murder victims to Category:People killed by the IRA
- Rename, "murder victims" is POV. See this discussion. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Ridiculously POV as it stands now and as there's no Category:People killed by the UVF, the category should be deleted in its entirety as it serves no purpose other than to further the notion that the "IRA" (which is an often incorrectly-used term) is a killing agent hoopydinkConas tá tú? 10:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Well, they did kill a lot of people. A Category:People killed by the UVF category would be a good idea, all the "sides" could have a subcat. I think the only reason the IRA subcat exists is that there are already a significant amount of articles on people they killed. The correct use of the term IRA is also being discussed on the Irish Wikipedians' notice board. ie, whether it should include the historical forms of the IRA and the CIRA/RIRA.Stu ’Bout ye! 11:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Further comment I'm reconsidering this. As Hoopydink says, if an IRA subcat exists then a subcat should exist for each "side". The problem with this is that not all killings were claimed, or were blamed on a certain organisation which then denied it was responsible. Another solution may be to list each article by locality, rather than organisation responsible. There is already a Category:The Troubles in Northern Ireland by locality category, with subcats for each county/major city. So I propose that people either vote for the category to be channged to:
- Category:People killed by the IRA, or the category is deleted and each page recategorised under:
- Category:The Troubles in Northern Ireland by locality Stu ’Bout ye! 11:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment There are plenty of killings clearly attributable to the IRA, so that's not an issue. Before Hoopydink I'd already made the point about what constitutes 'the IRA' under the rename discussion, and that's a valid concern. I'd have no problem with a category Category:People killed by the Loyalist Paramilitary groups and a category Category:People killed by the Republican Paramilitary groups . CAIN categorises deaths including by Loyalist and Republican [[1]] so this is hardly controversial or new.User:Flexdream 13:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- More commenting If sources will remain neutral in attributing articles of people to these categories, then I think it'd be a good idea to have categories for both Category:People killed by Royalist Paramilitary groups and category Category:People killed by Republican Paramilitary groups. However, at certain points the "IRA" was the official defence force for Ireland and anyone killed during those times should probably not be included (casualties of war; no categories for British Armed Forces or US Army deaths). hoopydinkConas tá tú? 16:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I'm happy to go with that, but without the capitalisation. So Category:People killed by loyalist paramilitary groups and category Category:People killed by republican paramilitary groups. Stu ’Bout ye! 18:43, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. "Victim" is the standard police term - it makes no difference whether the people murdered deserved it or not. Mirror Vax 18:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Victims of The Troubles
Category:Victims of The Troubles to Category:People killed during the Troubles
- Rename, as per discussion at Irish Wikipedians' notice board "Victims" is point of view and inappropriate as the category includes paramilitary deaths. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I've just noticed this category includes hunger strikers, so "killed" isn't appropriate. Maybe Category:Deaths attributed to the Troubles is a better description. Stu ’Bout ye! 11:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Spanish international footballers
Category:Spanish international footballers to Category:Spain international footballers
- Rename, in line with other categories such as Category:England international footballers Chanheigeorge 07:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

- Rename per nom. – Elisson • Talk 14:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:French International players
Category:French International players to Category:France international footballers
- Rename, for clarity, and in line with other categories such as Category:England international footballers Chanheigeorge 07:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per nom and for clarity. Qwghlm 08:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. – Elisson • Talk 14:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:IRA murder victims
Category:IRA murder victims to Category:IRA homicide victims
- Rename, in line with usual NPOV practice per WP. Jobles 00:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment This proposed renaming does nothing to neutralise the category (in my humble opinion) hoopydinkConas tá tú? 14:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Incompatible with parent categories. Mirror Vax 21:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Mormon composers
Category:Mormon composers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, per all other random religion and occupation combos. ...And Beyond! 00:50, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep The Mormons do have the big Tabernacle choir, etc so they do have composers for it. That said it needs renamed. Maybe something like "Composers of Mormon religious music."--T. Anthony 19:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Internet video series
Category:Internet video series (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, Not well defined ("Internet" is the only parent category), and only three articles at the moment. Vossanova o< 00:42, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Transgender and transsexual scientists and engineers
Category:Transgender and transsexual scientists and engineers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, Oh my god. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, we do not make a category for every combination of everything possible. ...And Beyond! 00:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Brammen 00:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment You know there's also Category:Transgender and transsexual sportspeople. Anyway I think I'd go for there being a Category:LGBT scientists with this merged in. On its own I'd say it's too minor and maybe needs deleted.--T. Anthony 19:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:Symbols of Cape Verde
Category:Symbols of Cape Verde to Category:National symbols of Cape Verde
- Rename, in line with usual practice per Category:National symbols by nation. Brammen 00:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Category:People who have been arrested
Category:People who have been arrested (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, I don't see the use of this category. Jaranda wat's sup 00:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, doesn't seem like a defining characteristic to me. -- ProveIt (talk) 00:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete A mere arrest isn't automatically noteworthy (nor does it make the subject a proper member of Category:Criminals). Brammen 00:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete If someone has been arrested it can be noted in their bio, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to navigate among articles collected in this category, so it fails the #1 guideline of Categorization. --After Midnight 0001 01:19, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
