Category:Censored anime to Category:Controversially edited anime in international distribution

 * 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 delete --Kbdank71 15:46, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Rename - Censorship has to do with government, and not all edits can be considered "censorship". Also, many times a show is controversially-edited BECAUSE of edits that have nothing to do with censorship. WhisperToMe 23:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd say just delete; I don't see how the suggested rename clarifies what articles do and do not belong in it. Is the anime itself controversial, or the edits, or both?  Is it anime that has been controversially edited that has also been internationally distributed?  Is what you're suggesting really Category:Anime that has been subjected to controversial edits for international distribution?  In that case, how is it not POV as to what edits are controversial?  And controversial because of content removed due to sex?  Violence?  Length?  All of the above?  Edits made by whom?  DVD distributors?  Broadcasters?  Theatres?  All of the above?  Categories should not raise so many questions; they should simply set forth an obvious and objective classification.  Postdlf 01:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Can this simply be populated correctly. Presumably, some anime is censored by the authorities and that can be included in this cat, no? -Splash talk 08:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * IIRC just about all anime is censored in international distribution. I think that the entire subject is better covered in a separate article (with list) explaining what exactly was censored and why. So please creade Censorship in anime and delete this cat.

 * delete non sensical, in some countries everything is censored. If existing it would need to specify in a country it was censored, then you could end up with 100s of categories so still delete. Arniep 15:20, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Mega-sigh. I really wish, if there was opposition to this format, that it could have been voiced on the merge votes currently running on 10/26 and 10/27.  As it stands, those are going to end up setting a few of the sub categories to the above format, while others get left in the old format.  In the end I don't care as much about which format gets chosen, but IMHO we need to be consistent.  It was the lack of opposition to the " of Foo/Fooian Navy" that lead me to bring the rest of these up. Sigh.  Sigh.  Sigh. TexasAndroid 14:57, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Most of those were country categories and these are categories for a Navy. I would have been more likely to have participated if you had grouped the nominations before. The inconsistency point does not necessarily apply as countries and navies are different things. CalJW 15:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't group them because, in the end, they were all quite dissimilar. And it was very good that I did not, because several individual ones have raised debate.  Debate that would have been difficult if they were all grouped.  But that said, there are 4 of them that specifically relate to the above moves.  (Frigates, Destroyers, Battleships, Cruisers, on the 10/26 page) It is these that I refer to.  They will result in exactly the above name pattern changes when they are closed, sometime today most likely.  In them, the merge was the key point, not what name ended up being used.  I suggested one name to end up with, the only other commentator opposed, with the request that the above pattern be used instead.  (I originally suggested "UNS ", he suggested "Type of the USN".)  So I changed my vote to avoid a no conscensous, and make sure the move went through.  And since 4-6 were going to end up moving to the new pattern, and no comments had been made raising any problems with the new pattern, I placed the rest up in order to get everything back to a consistent pattern.  My first goal in all this is to clean out the duplicate categories that were recently created.  My second goal is to get thing back to a consistent naming structure.  Feeling quite frustrated in all this right now. TexasAndroid 16:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
