Main article name is now Dál Riata not Dalriada; also moved List of Kings of Dalriada to List of Kings of Dál Riata. Engaged in building consensus on what to call individual rulers, but that has no obvious impact on cat name. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * rename - possibly speediable? Grutness...wha?  01:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Build your consensus first please. This looks like yet another move away from English-language spelling in the name of political correctness. "á" is not an English letter and in my opinion that means it should not be used as the primary spelling in the Engish language Wikipedia. CalJW 04:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Of the sources listed in the Dál Riata article, those which use Dál Riata outnumber the ones using Dalriada by about 12 to 4. If the article had better sources, the ratio would be even more strongly in favour of Dál Riata. The accepted name, verifiable fromreliable sources, is Dál Riata, which is what is used in the main article on the subject, following a discussion and vote. Regarding diacritics, we are supposed to follow what is best for readers, not to indulge the editors. (No diacritics would be much easier for me.) In any case, we already have Déisi Tuisceart, Dál gCais, Uí Néill and Cenél Conaill, to name but a few related articles with diacritics in the title. Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Neither "Dalriada" nor "Dál Riata" are English, exactly, but both are used in authoritative English language texts. If you look at Talk:Dál Riata you'll see that I've reviewed English language popular (non-scholarly) reference books and found examples of both spellings. As far as I can see they're both correct and Wikipedia should just use one or the other and be consistent. --Craig Stuntz 13:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. --Mais oui! 22:10, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Note that the proposed name is in line with the Manual of Style. See Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles). Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Books are much more commonly categorized by year under the "Books" set than this, sporatic, "Novel" set. - TexasAndroid 20:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support as the "novel" cats do seem to be severely underpopulated. Her Pegship 03:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. Category:Novels by year is a subcategory of Category:Books by year. While all novels are books, not all books are novels. Only having novels as a subcategory of Category:Books by year probably isn't that useful, but I also question how useful it is to have every type of book grouped together. Perhaps the subcategories should be expanded instead? Paralleling the subcategories for writers (see Category:Writers by subject area)? -- JLaTondre 03:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Objection. Not all books are novels, as stated above, and given the massive number of books we might eventually have articles on it makes sense to subdivide them. It would be better to expand usage of the subcats (and create more) rather than delete them imho. --kingboyk 13:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all because... because... BLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!! novels are a distinct art form, and there are many, many of them that should have articles. BD2412  T 04:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep My propostion is that we keep the novels by year categories and add them as subcategories to the appropriate books by year page;  eg. remove the novels that are currently on the books by year page, replacing this with a subcategory on the same page for novels published the same year.  Mostly this is due to the fact that the main Category:Novels page is in serious need of some sub-division, at the moment it is a mess. -- Gizzakk 17:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

A subcategory of Category:Fictional towns and cities that contained one article, Öreskoga, which has been moved to the parent category. Depreciated and un-needed category. Delete. Proto   ||    type    15:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)  Withdrawn. Proto   ||    type    08:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I've moved it back. The parent category is in obvious need of subcategorisation and there is already one other national category. Osomec 19:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Certainly the places that can be categorized by real-world country (and possibly state) should be. When we do, though, let's make the pattern "cities and towns" to match all the similar real-world categories.--Mike Selinker 03:38, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Withdrawn CfD, and I'll look into subcategorising the parent.  Mr admin, please close as time permits.    Proto    ||    type    08:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
