The result of the debate was rename. Syrthiss 14:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The only skiers in the present category are freestyle skiers, as one would expect, given its two sibling categories Category:Cross country skiers at the 2006 Winter Olympics and Category:Alpine Skiers at the 2006 Winter Olympics (the latter subject to speedy renaming to Category:Alpine skiers at the 2006 Winter Olympics (capitalization)). There are no (snow) skiers other than alpine, cross country and freestyle at the Olympics (or in general). -- Mareklug talk  18:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment - I would agree with the renaming of the category. Sue Anne 19:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. — Dale Arnett 05:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Bhoeble 18:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Note that biathletes are also skiers, but this category should be parallel in level to the others; without the adjective it sounds like it should be a parent of Alpine skiers and the like, and there is no need for that.  Gene Nygaard 01:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Category:Mountains and hills of Ulster

 * 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. - TexasAndroid 16:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

This category is duplicting the content of Category:Mountains and hills of Northern Ireland. In the interests of avoiding confusion and consistancy with the other UK mountain categories, I think it should be deleted. Stu  ’Bout ye!  16:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Naming conventions (categories) Northern Ireland is the proper term for the country; however, there is in fact a historical/traditional province of Ulster, and this category corresponds to those for the other three provinces. I'd also add the note from the top of Category:Ulster for clarity. -choster 18:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Pages are categorised by country, which in this case is Northern Ireland - part of the UK. So the Munster, Leinster and Connacht categories are irrelevant here. Stu   ’Bout ye!  19:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * reply Not irrelevant at all. Three of the counties of Ulster are in the Republic of Ireland, as the provincial boundaries and national boundary are not identical. "XXX of Ulster" and "XXX of Northern Ireland" are completely different things. If there are similar categories for Mountains and hills of the other three provinces this should be kept and a separate category for the Mountains and hills of Northern Ireland created which can have both cat:M&h of Ireland and cat:M&h of the UK as parents. Grutness...wha?  22:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Cleanup may be in order, but so long as three of the four provinces have categories it doesn't make sense to exclude the fourth. Either delete them all or keep them all, I would think. - choster 19:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. If anything, let the Northern Ireland one be listed in Mountains of Ireland, because of the country/island overlap in meaning.  That'll avoid the confusion. Gene Nygaard 21:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. No, Northern Ireland categories are subcategories of United Kingdom categories, not Ireland categories. Stu   ’Bout ye!  15:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a geography category, not a political category. 66.97.254.212 08:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. This sort of overlap can only create confusion. Osomec 00:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If "Ulster" is too ambiguous, start with Category:Ulster. To delete the Ulster category and not the others is akin to upmerging Category:Mountains of California but leaving all its siblings in place. -choster 02:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as a valid sub-cat for a valid cat in Category:Ulster Mayumashu 03:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Only one of the other three provinces has a general category and it is almost unpopulated. The main system of subcategorisation is by county. The Ulster category tends to obscure/allow people to ignore that six counties of Ulster are not part of the Republic of Ireland. ReeseM 03:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Looking at it further, I would say the only reason the category was created was to blur the fact that Northern Ireland and the Republic are seperate countries. It was created by Lapsed Pacifist, who systematically tries to change every mention of Northern Ireland in Wikipedia to terms like "The Six Counties" or "The North of Ireland". He's currently the subject of an RFA. Stu   ’Bout ye!  09:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Ulster and Northern Ireland are not synonyms. --Mais oui! 07:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete empty and non-notable category per nominator. Too bad; there's plenty of international idiocy going on these days.  Pointing it out would violate Wikipedia's NPOV policy, though.  Barno 23:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Will be empty if the nomination below goes through. Probably unpopulatable without breaching neutrality and verifiability by using legendary dates. Delete. Hawkestone 02:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC).
 * Delete of all such categories (they should be relisted under single section, no one is going to vote on each item). It is very unlikely to get populated with reliable data, whole centuries would be empty. The current birth/deadth year categorisation is targetted for era where printed records exist, it should not be extended outside. Pavel Vozenilek 21:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
