 * 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 2007, keep 2006 --Kbdank71 14:28, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Same for Category:2006 births, Category:2006 deaths and Category:2007 deaths.
 * Keep. Those articles will exist someday. There are plenty of other pages and categories that have been set up as templates/placeholders to be used when the time comes. If nothing links to them, then what's the problem? &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2005-11-22 17:32
 * Delete categories for 2007, keep categories for 2006 - we don't have to create the category on the run. Thelb 4  17:35, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete categories for 2007, keep categories for 2006. Carina22 19:51, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP, the gestation period for an elephant is 24 months, IIRC. 132.205.45.148 20:03, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * keep why bother when the category will be created sooner or later anyway. -- Mkill 00:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and let's focus on more useful decisions. --Vizcarra 04:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Apparently Wikipedia really is a crystal ball!!  If the articles will exist someday, the category can be created just as easily someday.  --Kbdank71 20:50, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unnecessary clutter. Add it when it is needed, otherwise a rule is need for how many years out categories can be created for. --StuffOfInterest 13:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all. What was the point of this nomination? CalJW 14:09, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this weren't on CFD, I would have speedy deleted it under CSD #C1 for having no articles in it. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep 2006 Categories as there is now only a month left until they are needed. Delete 2007.  CG janitor 23:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

A bad idea. Being used for people (4 of them) so merge into category:Cuban people. CalJW 10:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 14:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Places categories are deprecated as needlessly vague and as duplications of the standard buildings and structues and geography categories, and several have been deleted previously. This one contained a random handful of articles (a town, a theatre, a neighborhood, Ernest Hemingway's house) which I have moved to their proper locations. Delete CalJW 10:25, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nominator. Bhoeble 12:38, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. Thelb 4  16:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC) (Delete)
 * Keep/Retain. There are Category:Star Wars locations, Category:Bible places, Category:New Testament places and Category:Torah places. I don't see anything vague with the meaning of place. Buildings and places have totally different meanings.  --Jondel 06:42, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Countries have a complete geography but the range of places named in fictional and religious works is selective. Empty in any case.Osomec 14:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename as nominated --Kbdank71 14:50, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

All the other 50 subcategories of category:Dramatists and playwrights by nationality are in the "dramatists and playwrights" form, which has long been established as preferable in order to avoid confusion and duplication. Rename CalJW 07:41, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to standard form. Osomec 14:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. BD2412 T 19:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 14:51, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Events is a problematically vague category as any historical event could be placed in it and therefore is not normally used. I have set up the standard Category:2005 in Malaysia and Singapore and placed it in Category:Years in Singapore and Category:Years in Malaysia
 * Delete CalJW 07:19, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the new categories that were setup. Gadster 19:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Category:Airliner crashes caused by mechanical failure to Category:Airliner accidents caused by mechanical failure

 * 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 no consensus --Kbdank71 14:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Not all of the articles in this category resulted in crashes. The specific example I stumbled across was British Airways Flight 5390, which suffered a mechanical failure but landed safely. Since there aren't a lot of entries here, renaming to a more inclusive category seems more reasonable to me than splitting it up even further. Bryan 01:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename as per nominator. CalJW 07:19, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. -- Thelb 4 16:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename as per nominator. Gadster 03:21, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename as per nominator. --StuffOfInterest 13:01, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, because not all mechanical failures are accidents. Some are intentional. 24.170.177.163 06:47, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * That still leaves the category incorrectly named for the non-crashes, though. How about "Category:Airliner incidents caused by mechanical failure" instead, since that's the other option presented in the parent "Accidents and incidents on commercial airliners" category? Bryan 07:50, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is under [:Category:Accidents and incidents on commercial airliners], and there are a large number of categories of the form "Airliner crashes caused by ...". We shouldn't change just one.--Prosfilaes 01:13, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep . This is more specific.--Jondel 08:55, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
