Category:Baden to Category:Baden Germany

 * 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 (no change) --Kbdank71 14:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

"Baden" is the name of multiple places (and is, in fact, a disambig page); Baden Germany is the former kingdom which should house the articles in this category. BD2412 talk 23:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename for disambiguity, but it should have a comma, no? -Splash talk 23:26, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You know, I'm really not sure - the article, Baden Germany, doesn't have one, so I assumed that to be a geographic quirk (like Papua New Guinea). If I'm wrong, I'd surely go with a comma (and move the article to a title with a comma as well). BD2412  talk 00:38, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose rename; the majority of the places named Baden are in Germany, and most of the rest are either named after the German Baden or are mistakes. So the change doesn't disambiguate. Septentrionalis 00:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename. Intuitively, I'd say there should be a comma as well.  The Baden article on de.wikipedia is also a disambiguation, so this definitely needs to be changed, but I'm not sure if there's some special reason why Baden Germany lacks a comma. siafu 02:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There is definitely no reason why Baden Germany lacks a comma. For that matter, there's no reason why the article Baden Germany isn't named Baden, as per the 7-to-3 vote to move the page (see Talk:Baden Germany). --Angr/undefined 08:30, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree - since Baden (disambiguation) currently redirects to Baden, then an admin (hint, hint) needs to: a) delete Baden (disambiguation); b) move Baden to Baden (disambiguation) name; c) delete the resulting Baden redirect, and d) move Baden Germany to Baden (and also redirect Baden, Germany there). My suggestion to move the category will be withdrawn as moot. BD2412  talk 14:27, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The above changes have been made. The article Baden is now about the region in Germany, and the disambig page is Baden (disambiguation), and all redirects point to what they're supposed to point to. --Angr/undefined 21:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete unencyclopedic information is the only kind that would be provided by this malnamed category (even if renamed, it would still be uninteresting). -Splash talk 23:26, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Listify - this is appropriate for listcruft (especially since not all such characters deserve individual encyclopedia articles). BD2412  talk 00:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and list. For the fangeeks, I suppose.  We always seem to have plenty of editors willing to work on such things. siafu 02:21, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

It is trivial whether a footballer had a moustache or not as it doesn't affect his performance on the pitch. Also some players had moustaches at some times but not at others. Also the instructions say this is for English players only, but the name doesn't tell you that. Can we get delete this please? Honbicot 18:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and add Category:Mustached football players. The spelling, "moustache", in the original's name makes it clearly a Brit category, and this additional category will cover the American game of the same name.  Categories are as relevant as all the "Wikipedian" categories stuffing this site, perhaps moreso since footballers and football players with moustaches and mustaches are highly likely to have proven skills, expertises, professional histories and public renown, making them encyclopedic topics.  Wikipedians, by and large, haven't.  Finally, two further categories should be established for footballers and football players without moustaches or mustaches. 12.73.198.107 23:33, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, obviously. I would support some kind of speedy category for nonsensical cats such as this one, but I'm not sure how to word it. Perhaps keeping a list of them so we can simply delete any recreations swiftly. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 10:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)


 * speedy delete I think we need to have a category of speedy deletes for trivial details.  One possible criteria for trivial would be that all (or most) relevant items could either go in the category or its polar opposite, and the item is not particuarly rare.  For instance, moustaches are not rare, but one legged football players might be.  (But then, if there's only one, it also does not deserve a category.) --ssd 03:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Inherently PoV category. Used in template likely toi be deleted. DES (talk) 16:01, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Just tidying up. CalJW 01:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Avoid abbreviations.  This has nothing to do with "American" vs. "...of the United States".  Nominate the current category if you want to change it, either way we don't need this one. siafu 02:27, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This was the current category. It is the older of the two, it was kept a few days ago when this exact merge was rejected, and now has been unilaterally depopulated and nominated again. Not sure why Evilphoenix would make this change when we just determined there was no consensus for it. Indeed, so far the consensus at Category talk:Theatre by country, where a standard is being developed for the broad category, is going the opposite way of this proposed move. I'm not sure why we we've made more work for ourselves by moving all the articles into this category when we will likely have to move them back shortly.
