Where the heck did that accent come from? DHowell 22:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Why use the word "clique" anyway? Rename to "Groups of entertainers" or something like that.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  00:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename as proposed. I understand what this is for. "Groups of entertainers" is so vague that it would need to be deleted for well, vagueness. CalJW 20:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment on "Groups of entertainers": that is very vague, and nearly every music group, comedy troupe, duo, etc could be included. Clique is the best way to describe this category, as most are social circles that also occasionally collaborate professionally.--Fallout boy 05:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was I got a fever and the only cure is more deleted cowbells. Syrthiss 15:38, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep this one and soon there'll be "Songs with triangles", "Symphonies with basoon", etc... The epitome of over-categorization. -- Samuel Wantman 21:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. Cowbell is a special cult phenomenon.  It should remain. See More cowbell.  Dr U 23:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * There are even entire websites dedicated to this:

 * Delete, create a list if you want but this is definitely overcat.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  00:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The list already exists here --Samuel Wantman 02:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Clearly the cowbell must be expanded upon not deleted. I gotta have more cowbellNatedog723 17:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Obviously not a good idea, and highly unmaintainable --FuriousFreddy 19:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant with List of songs featuring cowbells, and categories are only supposed to be for "notable" attributes of a topic.  dbenbenn | talk 21:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:World records

 * 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 wrong forum, no action other than what is described below. Syrthiss 15:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think Category:World records should be deleted; simply that most of its members should not be in the category. For example, Rajaratna Ruby is in the category, but the article says nothing about any world record. People's Republic of China is the same. This category should contain articles about world records, such as World Record progression 100 m men; and not merely articles about things that have achieved records. dbenbenn | talk 19:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. If you don't want the category deleted, then this is not the correct place to list it. If you feel that some of the articles in the category are miscategorised, be bold and edit the individual articles to remove them from this cat. Valiantis 20:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, and did a couple; it is more appropriate to link to List of world records as a see also in especially relevant cases. Christopher Parham (talk) 08:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, just to note why this cat shouldn't work like this: you need a list because you need to identify both the item and what it holds the world record for. Seeing People's Republic of China in this category tells me nothing about it. Christopher Parham (talk) 08:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I deleted a bunch of the entries that were ill-referenced. Certain articles and lists that are specific to the "record-ness" of the item were kept (e.g., longest bridges) and carved out "record lists" from certain other categories that were otherwise only tangential to the subject and added entries for those (e.g., Oldest people).

"films" was tagged for deletion on 12/08, but not listed here. Looking around, I found where the vampire movies appear to belong, the third cat above. There's also a single entry "Movies" cat that should also be merged into the proper home, IMHO. - TexasAndroid 17:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Another case, like the one just below, where I listed it for the sake of the process, following through with the process started by the person who originally tagged the category. And again in this case I'm going to actually vote Keep on the category itself.  Looks like a well populated and used category. - TexasAndroid 16:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Might be a POV magnet, but in balance I'd be inclined to keep. Valiantis 20:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV magnet.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  00:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Even if some may be incliend to use it for POV purposes, the title itself is not POV, any more than the word 'murder' is POV.  Articles can delve into the details of a particular case, the accusations, athe counter-arguments, etc.  The category should remain.  Josh 06:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. What is POV about this? subcat "World War II crimes" ain't POV as well - Darwinek 14:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Some things are unabiguously war crimes, and the tag, used with discretion, is useful. Dr U 17:12, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Noting that I'm not the one who tagged this or most of the others I've listed here today, I have to say that on this one at least, I have to say Keep. This is part of a larger system of alma mater categories for Wikipedians, and it makes no sense to me to delete just this one.  (I listed it for the sake of the process.) - TexasAndroid 16:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was speedy rename (tho not so speedy apparently). Syrthiss 15:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

The second was tagged for deletion back in early December. but looking at it, the one tagged is IMHO the proper name, given the expanded abbreviation. So I'm tagging the first for merge back into the second. - TexasAndroid 16:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep. Syrthiss 15:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

There is no such thing as telenovela-only actors. Every actor also works with theater, movies, commercials... If we were to create sub-categories to Actors for each especialization, most of the actors would appear in all sub-categories. Category:Telenovela actors, Category:Mexican_telenovela_actors, Category:Brazilian_telenovela_actors, Category:Venezuelan telenovela actors. --Abu Badali 13:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. As far as I know, the following actors have never worked in theater, a movie or commercial:
 * Patricia Navidad
 * Aracely Arámbula
 * Belinda
 * Rocío Cárdenas
 * Yadhira Carrillo
 * Carmen Campuzano
 * Karla Cossío
 * Manuela Ímaz
 * And... we have already created "sub-categories for each especialization":

 * Agreed. I wish there wasn't "system" at the end but oh well it's still an improvement. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  20:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This term seems to get no google hits at all, except those relating to this discussion. (And only wiki mirrors seem to use the capitalised version.)  Rename to Category:Maine state routes, following generic term in use in the state in question.  Alai 04:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * But then Maine State Routes needs to be capitalized. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  04:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * On what basis? I just argued to the contrary;  when this was nominated previously, another editor (who I've asked to comment here again) also argued to the contrary.  Several more opposed this in the wikiproject-based discussion that was supposed to help settle this.  Alai 04:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * On the basis that this is a specific hwy system. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  04:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was reverse merge. Syrthiss 15:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:American radio is a redundant category, as Category:United States radio already exists and is well established. DHowell 04:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverse Merge. One parent is Category:American broadcasting and the other is Category:Radio by country where fooian radio is the standard and this one and Category:Radio in Scotland are the only exceptions.  Vegaswikian 05:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge as per Vegaswikian. "United States radio" is not normal English. Bhoeble 11:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge American is consensus except in cases of proper titles/names. Josh 15:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Abstain from reverse merge proposal. "United States" as an adjective is normal English (espcially in cases where "American" could be misconstrued as referring to the continents and not just the US), and is my preference. However, I won't stand in the way a reverse merge, as long as these two get merged one way or the other. I will add a cfm template to Category:United States radio, though.

<S>This was created as a redirect from the already existing Category:Salesians, which already serves the same purpose and also meets the naming conventions, whereas this new category doesn't, and wasn't needed anyway. Staffelde 02:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn. My mistake - the new category DOES have a dfferent function.Staffelde 13:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate categories, merge into the larger and more common form. Vegaswikian 00:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge Naming conventions (categories) specifically notes that military equipment is to be '... of foo' format. One could consider missiles closer to aircraft, which are 'fooian ...' format, but aircraft are the one oddball, as ships and military equipment are the other way.  Thus I would put missiles with the majority and assign it '... of foo' format.  NOTE the vast majority of missiles aren't very well categorized right now.  They haven't gotten much love, since they don't fit neatly into either ships, aircraft, or vehicles categories, and even weapons don't give them justice.  This is why the category names are not in line with policy...let's at least keep with policy on what we do change, and if need be I can submit a more complete list of renames to standardize all of the missile categories.  Josh 15:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Feel free to create a list to the standard. I only made one nomination to see it I had it the right way.  You are correct, there is a wide range of problems in some of these cats.  Vegaswikian 06:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge as above. GCarty 09:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I can support the Reverse Merge. Vegaswikian 21:09, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
