 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep until Rfar is complete --Kbdank71 13:43, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Empty. Cfd notice was added on Apr 3 by User:Huaiwei. I don't want to get in the middle of this right now, but the category has been around since March 10th and it's empty. --Kbdank71 18:29, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete it. Note for RfAr that it was created by Instantnood with no consensus and obviously nobody wanted to put articles into it. SchmuckyTheCat 22:01, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * ISTR reading somewhere that categories can be speedied if they've been empty more that 24 hours. Anyone confirm? Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 01:22, 7 May 2005 (UTC) In light of further items below, I withdraw this comment. Grutness...  wha?  11:00, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep one of the previous voters decided he was going to remove all the articles that were in the category, that's why it's empty, it's part of an edit war. --Wgfinley 15:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Who was the voter in question?--Huaiwei 09:59, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Pretty extensive listing of Schmucky's activities as of late on an injunction request in the RfAr --Wgfinley 21:12, 8 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep for now, until Requests for arbitration/Instantnood, et al. is resolved. See also Categories for deletion/unresolved China. --MarkSweep 20:30, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The CFD notice was not removed after the nomination here on Apr 3 has been moved to /unresolved China. Despite being unresolved the category was depopulated and the articles were moved to a new created category. There is an article at Culture of Communist China, which "Culture of mainland China" was the former title and now serves as a redirect. This category, together with many related events, are part of the same issue and is now an ArbCom case. &mdash; Instantnood 19:57, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep Currency, delete Currencies, move regional currencies to National Currencies --Kbdank71 13:59, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Empty. Cfd notice was added on Mar 20 by User:Maurreen. --Kbdank71 18:24, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd like to keep it and reorganise the Category:Currencies and sub categories. Seabhcán 11:31, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't make wholesale changes while a vote is in progress. I've added the cfd notice back to Category:Currency.  Also, you shouldn't have emptied out the category without a concensus.  BTW, the "currency" is listed here because category names should be plural ("currencies").  --Kbdank71 16:36, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It is more reasonable to have all the various national currencies in regional subcategories (ie. Category:African currencies) because all national currencies are linked to a template (ie. Template:AfricanCurrencies), which has a built-in category. Then the question becomes should we have these regional currency categories within a super-category called Category:Currencies or Category:Currency. Seeing that all articles about actual currencies are within the regional articles what is left for the super-category? There are general articles on the concept of currency, on exchange rates, etc. I think that these would be better contained within a Currency category. Seabhcán 18:39, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * See above: Unless the category to be deleted is non-controversial – vandalism or a duplicate, for example – please do not depopulate the category (remove the tags from articles) before the community has made a decision.  That said, I think "currencies" work just as well for what you're trying to accomplish.  --Kbdank71 18:44, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Either one would do. I was unaware of a rule that category names should be plural. I see that Category:Currency is a sub category of Category:Finance, I guess it will have to be changed to Category:Finances. Seabhcán 19:05, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a rather disingenious argument. A category title should be singular when the articles are about a particular subject, and singular when they list instances of that subject.  --Azkar 18:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that Category:Currencies could be reasonably described as a duplicate of Category:Currency. Seabhcán 22:15, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Since there seems to be a mixture of articles that are about currency as a subject, and articles that describe different national currencies, how about this: We have Category:Currency as a super-category.  All the articles about currency and exchange rates, etc., can go here.  Since the national currencies appear to be organized by region, we can have a sub-category called Category:Currencies by region, or even have Category:Currencies as a sub-cat, if different categorization is needed at that level (although I could see this as being perhaps a little confusing to the reader).  No individual (national, regional, historical, whatever) currencies should go in the super-cat.  Could something along these lines be a workable solution?  --Azkar 18:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
