 * Rename to Category:Wikipedian recipients of the Girl Scouts Silver Award [and Category:Wikipedian recipients of the Girl Scouts Gold Award respectively]. -- ProveIt (talk) 23:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete [both] Th[ese] should be a complete list linked to from Girl Scouts of America as a ["]List of recipients of the [Silver/Gold] Award["]. As [categories they suggest] that every recipient deserves an encyclopedia entry. Wikipedia is not a phone book. These remarks apply to many other marginal categories that are essentially lists. --Wetman 03:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename [both] per nom. Note to Wetman: This is apparently a Wikipedian category, not a category for the article namespace, so a list as you described would not be appropriate. --Cswrye 14:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There is, no doubt, a fundamental difference between a heading that is suitable for a list and a heading suitable for a category. Is it not clear that every item in a category is a Wikipedia article&mdash;or potentially a Wikipedia article? The idea that every Gold Award recipient is a candidate for an encyclopedia entry does seem somewhat inflated. A list is only useful if it is a complete list, otherwise it must be identified as a selective list in its naming, so as not to be misleading to the reader. Perhaps my point is too abstruse. No matter. --05:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Categories do not suggest to me that everyone who could be in them deserves an entry. Twittenham 20:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, I'm not sure if this is linkspam or what, exactly, it is -- but I don't believe the individuals here belong in any objective category beyond the website in question. Ben-w 21:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, a category that theoretically serves the users of a different website? YGBKM. In any case the category page itself is inappropriate linkspam, no matter what good they do. --Dhartung | Talk 03:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. --Wetman 03:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge into Category:Cook County, Illinois. The content is useful, it's the name that's the problem. --M @ r ē ino 16:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete in the strongest possible terms. Misuse of categories for spam/promo of some non-notable project. KleenupKrew 02:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This is not a catogory for promoting a non-notable project. The project working the the Civic Footprint is simply putting all the articles about or related to Cook County politics on one page. Is that name of the category the problem? I don't think a problem with the name of the catgory warrants deleting the whole category.

 * Delete per nom. --musicpvm 21:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A list is the right way to go. Not every one-hit wonder deserves an encyclopedia entry. Wikipedia is not a phone book. These remarks apply to many other marginal categories that are essentially lists. --Wetman 03:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Some artists were one hit wonders in one or more countries, but had several hits in other countries. Osomec 13:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Isn't one of the reasons for categories to replace lists? Although there are situations where lists and categories complement each other (since lists can have information not in a category), categories are generally preferred per Categorization. --Cswrye 14:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Categories do not replace lists. Whichever is better should be used. Due to definition problems lists are better in this case. Twittenham 20:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, lacks necessary context. The term is not universally applicable to any given one-hit wonder; someone who qualifies as such in the US might be a huge star in numerous other regions. -Sean Curtin 21:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless definition tightened up. I only vote delete here because the definition of one-hit wonder is a little too vague. Even the main article has a large section talking about how the phrase means different things to different people.  If a more specific definition is put forth, though, such as "artists with only one song to reach the Billboard Top 40", then I'd support the category.  (P.S.  I don't buy the "list is better here" argument.  Personally I think it would be an ok category if the definition is tightened up.) Dugwiki 21:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I have no problem with renaming the Category. However, a more appropriate name may be "Companies Formerly Based In Maryland".  My point in making this category was to show that many companies used to be based in Maryland and are now gone, either through mergers, bankruptcy, or relocation.

 * Reverse merge Category:District of Columbia was just merged into Category:Washington, D.C., so its subcategories should have similar names. - EurekaLott 18:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC) (Update: if the consensus is to merge as nominated, that's okay with me, too. - EurekaLott 20:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC))
 * Either way is fine by me. I've tagged Category:Government of the District of Columbia as well -- ProveIt (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That was a mistake, while folks like me were busy with primaries. --William Allen Simpson 21:07, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge - There have been other discussions about this, and it seems that "Washgington, D.C." is preferred over "the District of Columbia". Personally, I prefer "the District of Columbia", but I think it's more important to remain consistent. --Cswrye 14:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom., renominate the other categories to solve the consistency problem. There is no such thing as the government of Washington, D.C.  Only the District of Columbia has a government, not its components.  See : there's a Mayor of DC and Government of DC, not of Washington.--M @ r ē ino 16:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, I think. This does serve a purpose. Oddly, I can find other Types of... cats, but no pairing of a Types of X category with a X by type category. Anyway, it's not redundant, ipso facto. --Dhartung | Talk 03:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure how useful this is. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Many people are identifiable by their distinctive facial features, including handlebar moustaches, in much the same way that people are identified by the fact that they are from, for example, a particular U.S. State. I mean, the fact that Rollie Fingers has a handlebar moustache is, in my opinion, no less important than listing the fact that he's in the category for Major league baseball players from Ohio. We can say in both instances "who cares?" but, this being an encyclopedia, I think part of the point of creating such categories is to identify the similarities people/things share with others. Absecon 59 14:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC) (talk)
 * Delete both. The subject is fine for a list of moustaches (with people attached) that have achieved their own notability, and there's already a List of famous people wearing a moustache. But we shouldn't head towards a categorization of people by their mostly temporary hair styles, facial or otherwise. Do we seriously want the parent Category:People by hair style? --Mereda 15:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete this being an encyclopedia, and not a book of amusing trivia, it is essential to focus on defining characteristics. Osomec 13:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think this makes more sense than just Category:People with moustaches since fewer people have handlebar moustaches and those who do are more likely to be known for them, but ultimately, this isn't a useful category. --Cswrye 14:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a distinctive feature.  We are an encyclopedia here, not a snob club.  Just because you might not use Wikipedia to do research on hairstyles doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to. --M @ r ē ino 16:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge into Category:Comic book titles. -- ProveIt (talk) 13:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Reverse merge - I don't understand this infatuation with the work "title" or "titles" it appears completely redundant term at best. Worse, it implies the articles are about the "titles" of the comics books rather than the Comic books themselves. But then again I may have the subject all up round my ears, help me out if I hav'n't undestood. :: Kevinalewis  :  (Talk Page) / (Desk)  13:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks to me like Category:Comic books are about them in general, and Category:Comic book titles are about specific titles. -- ProveIt (talk) 17:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Kevin, I think you may have overlooked the capitalization. Category:Comic books already exists, and this category is an unneeded duplication. - EurekaLott 18:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge into Category:Comic book titles per nom. --Cswrye 14:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Category:Comic book titles per nom. Note that having "Comic Books" and "Comic books" as seperate categories would be way too confusing.  Since "Comic Books" appears to be specifically titles of comic books, it should be merged into "Comic book titles"Dugwiki 21:24, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Notable Drexel alumni to Category:Drexel University alumni
 * Rename per naming conventions of Category:Alumni by university in the United States. - EurekaLott 04:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose the naming conventions are arbitrary and not striclty adhered to. --South Philly 04:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename. Please look at Category:Alumni by university in the United States and you will see that the naming conventions are strictly adhered to.--Mike Selinker 05:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename, category names should never begin with "notable". --musicpvm 05:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know of at least five others, but I'm not going to say which because the 'category police' will come after them. --South Philly 03:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, As I would like to expand this article to Good article (as stated on the Drexel University talk page) status I'd rather have everything per wiki naming conventions as of now then have it pointed out as a fault later. --ImmortalGoddezz 03:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, I was unaware this had been made into a category as well before I moved the page with the same name to List of Drexel University people as per its talk page (I'm not sure if that has any relevence to the categories section at all though). If it doesn't have any relevence I throw my vote alongside those and say Rename. If it does have relevence the page has been moved as per naming conventions. :/ Page reverted by some user so the comment is no longer valid, vote is though. --ImmortalGoddezz 16:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge all - EurekaLott 03:04, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

created a bunch of categories without clearly understanding how things work in wikipedia. After being warned by several users in his talk page to discuss things with other people first, he proceeds happily thus creating a big amount of work for other users. All categories "Naturalized XXX citizens of the United States", where XXX= "Jewish", "Russian", "Irish" should be bot-merged back into Category:Naturalized citizens of the United States.

Judging from his work, this person even does not know differnece between "Russian", "Ukrainian" and "Jewish", yet boldly undertakes a massive robot-like recategorization of biographical articles. `'mikka (t) 04:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge back per nom. Osomec 13:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge back per nom, and I hope that the user who did this will learn how to better use categories in the future so that he can truly benefit the project. --Cswrye 14:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fix the contents of the subcategories, as needed (all editors do this). Move all possible articles out of Category:Naturalized citizens of the United States and put them in its subcategories.  Otherwise, we have a category with hundreds of articles, making it nearly useless.  No argument has been presented why the sub-categories should be deleted or why they are undesirable, as such; arguments denigrating the author of the sub-categories is no argument at all.  Thanks Hmains 17:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Yes the parent is nearly useless, but that suggests to me that it should be deleted, not subdivided. Twittenham 20:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Facial cancer deaths to Category:Skin cancer deaths
 * Rename, "Facial cancer" refers to the specific location of the cancer, rather than what it is a cancer of, which is skin. Currently, category has only one article, and renaming it would make it more inclusive to allow for other skin cancer deaths.Chris Griswold 00:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete or rename - Very few, if any, people are diagnosed with or die from "facial cancer". SiobhainO&#39;D 19:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or rename - facial cancer doesn't necessarily refer to skin cancer, but it's a bit of an obscure term and the category only contains one entry, which can probably be merged into another section. DiamonDie 21:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Besides, I think broadening the category to include ALL skin cancer deaths would be more useful. In fact, I'm kind of surprised Skin Cancer Deaths didn't already exist; there's a lot of people who die from Melanoma.Dugwiki 21:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
