Category talk:Peak oil

conventional oil article?
Didn't there use to be a conventional oil article? What happened to it? In one article I noticed conventional oil was replaced with conventional crude oil. I think it's good to keep a conventional oil article to contrast with non-conventional oil, what do people think? zen master   T  23:08, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think we need a conventional oil redirect. zen master   T  23:14, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Old category renaming discussion on CFD
The previous name for this category Category:Peak Oil, was listed for renaming on March 31, 2005. The following discussion took place and should not be modified. Suggest renaming to Category:Peak oil. &mdash;tregoweth 04:01, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename. -Kbdank71 15:15, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Rename Category:Hubbert curve of oil production. As is, it looks like a relative of Mobile Oil or Shell Oil or the like, and the proposed change looks more like a type of oil such as neatsfoot oil or cod liver oil. This "peak oil" is not a generally understood term, outside a select priesthood.  Gene Nygaard 16:13, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename. I also note that things are being categorized in this category the "wrong way around" - peak oil should be a subcat of petroleum and futurology, for example, not the other way around. I'll do a bit of tidying. Bryan 02:46, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to "Peak oil". I sympathize with Gene Nygaard's point, but "Peak oil" is the commonly used term for this theory. -Willmcw 22:48, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not according to the article; that refers to one aspect of it. What was included in this Category was certainly much, much broader than the concept covered by the peak on this graph. As Bryan also noted, the connection to other categories is or at least was upside-down. Gene Nygaard 00:20, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Rename to "Peak oil" which is the most commonly used phrase. zen master   T  23:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Nonsense. The phrase for something this broad might be something like "peak-oil theory" where peak-oil is an adjective, but it isn't that broad with "oil" as the noun.  Gene Nygaard 00:20, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Rename to "Peak oil". I created the category and have the bad habit of placing captial letters in Places where They Are Not needed! --One Salient Oversight 11:36, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
