I created some of these subcategories, and now I regret it. Among other things, they are much too detailed which makes it too hard to find their contents. One category with all their contents would suffice. Really. &mdash;Markles 22:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

These categories were all ballistic missiles (or empty and labelled for deletion). The category is now depopulated with its subcategories moved to Category:Ballistic missiles. GCarty 20:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


 * OPPOSE, what about the SM-62 Snark, SSM-N-8 Regulus, or the V-1? Those weren't ballistic missiles, but are strategic missiles. 132.205.44.134 23:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Those missiles you named are all early cruise missiles. I've made Category:Cruise missiles and Category:Ballistic missiles subcategories.  Is this what you had in mind?  If anyone still wants to delete this category, nominations are still open. GCarty 21:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename as nominated --Kbdank71 14:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Note from closing admin: I'm just closing this as nominated to get rid of the abbreviation. If someone wants to renominate it to see if "American" will take, go to it. I personally think that since the President is "President of the United States", and not "American President", the advisor should at least somewhat mirror that. For the record, there was not a mass renaming to American from U.S. and United States. The naming conventions spell out what should be American and what should be United States (and there are a great many that are "United States". --Kbdank71 14:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

So, I now propose we name it Category:Boy Scouts of America High Adventure bases or Category:High Adventure bases (Boy Scouts of America). Rlevse 10:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC) Scouting Project and Portal coordinator.
 * Comment as these bases are administered by the BSA's National High Adventure division, national high adventure should be somewhere in the title. There are dozens of council-level BSA high adventure bases so such a title as Rlevse suggested would lead to confusion if more BSA high adventure articles are created.

Takfiri terrorists are extremist Islamist terrorists who believe that non-Muslims may be killed with impunity, as well as Muslims who disagree with them - POV, no way to measure, why is Mohammed Atta listed on the category but not the other 19 hijackers? Better to categorize terrorists by nationality, than by "This is their personal opinion" which we can't speak to with any authority.

Removal of abbreviation and capitals in line with conventions. Rename CalJW 11:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC).
 * Oppose removal of abbreviation, but support removal of capitals. Categories of this length lack usability for both contributors and readers.

The result of the debate was keep --Kbdank71 14:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

If there is a purpose to this category, I'm not getting it. It is a subcategory of Category:American people. If you don't know what states are in the Southern United States, you probably won't be looking for the people who come from those states. This overcategorization could lead to Category:People from Southern North Dakota and Category:Film directors from NATO member countries. Delete. -- Samuel Wantman 10:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC), withdrawn. Recategorized. -- Samuel Wantman 08:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It is also in Category:Southern United States and if that exists it may as well be populated. Providing the subcategories aren't removed from category:American people by state this extra category does no harm. Sumahoy 14:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I can agree to this if it is removed from Category:American people and thus only remains a subcategory of Category:Southern United States -- Samuel Wantman 20:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I like that idea too. Keep, but remove from Category:American people so it's not a sibling of Category:American people by state ×Meegs 03:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

No reason to have both. They not only duplicate each other in purpose, but also in actual use. SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 01:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge as per nom. CalJW 11:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A policy should be created concerning the listing of streams not named rivers on lists and categories of rivers. The reason this category was created, along with the page List of Pennsylvania streams, was because streams not named river were being deleted from the rivers list.  If the streams list & categories are merged into rivers, then let's try to make sure that streams not named rivers are not deleted from them in the future.  Gjs238 12:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed - "river" should be a term meaning any natural waterway, not just one with "river" in the name. If that's not acceptable we should use another all-encompassing term, rather than arbitrarily split them up. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 00:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, stream is the all-encompassing term, not river, or even waterway, at least by Wikipedia definitions. I suppose one should consider what the intention was of those creating the river categories and lists.  Did they intend them to be truly limited to rivers, or all-encompasing with every little creek, brook, run, lick, fork, etc. Gjs238 12:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge as per nom. If a natural waterway is big enough to merit an article it is a river, at least informally. Piccadilly 13:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know quite what to do with this, but it sucks. First, most of the entries are individuals, not organizations. So, either the content or the name ought to be changed. However, I think individuals is quite unwieldy, and will mostly end up being politicians (because that's who we would know about). Second, "and/or George Bush" is highly dubious. It suggests that many of these groups are opposed to Bush, when it's much more likely they profess only objection to the war. So, in all, I think this category ought to be Category:Veterans' organizations opposed to the Iraq war:, and it should be purged of individuals. At any rate the current category name is horrible and the content is mismatched to the name. Derex 17:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Change: I agree. I'd been removing individuals from this category in the process of filling the category "Anti-war people." Between me and Grazon the category is now clean. I don't believe it should be deleted - it's useful - but I agree "and/or George Bush" should be eliminated. As far as I know all of these organizations are opposed to Bush because they're opposed to the war. Kalkin 15:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
