Public holiday by country categories

 * 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 renameall (except China). - TexasAndroid 19:43, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

This proposal is to establish "in country" as the naming convention for sub-categories of Category:Public holidays by country. Currently sub-cats of this category have no naming convention guideline, and namings used in practice include "in country" (used in the name of 7 of 14 sub-cats), "of country" (used in the name of 6 of 14 sub-cats), and "Fooian holidays" (used in the name of 1 of 14 sub-cats). However, nearly all of the 94 articles in Category:Public holidays by country that are not further sub-categorized use "in country". In the interests of standardization, the following renamings are proposed to match the naming convention used by the overwhelming majority of existing public holiday by country articles:


 * Category:Chinese holidays to Category:Holidays in China
 * Category:Public holidays of Fiji to Category:Public holidays in Fiji
 * Category:Public holidays of Iran to Category:Public holidays in Iran
 * Category:Holidays of Malta to Category:Holidays in Malta
 * Category:Holidays of the Philippines to Category:Holidays in the Philippines
 * Category:Holidays of the United States to Category:Holidays in the United States
 * Category:Holidays of Wales to Category:Holidays in Wales

Please note that the choice of "holidays" versues "public holidays" is not addressed here, and it may be wise to revisit the point in a subsequent cfru. --Kurieeto 23:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Agreed, sorry, I should have noticed that. I've moved Category:Chinese holidays from Category:Public holidays by country to Category:Holidays.  What do you think about Category:Vietnamese holidays?  It has three articles, one describes public holidays/"other holidays", and two others are for public holidays.

Granularity issues here - only one listed so far, and unlikely to grow in the near future. The convention for the 1600s has been to go by decade, which has itself been a little patchy, with some decades having multiple bridges listed and others having none - individual years may be a stretch too far!

 * Rename/Merge; per nom -- ProveIt (talk) 20:32, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep; IMHO the proposed form makes the category about the nationality of the person, not the city. If Madonna keeps a house in London; she's a person in a British city but not necessarily a British person in a city. Then we get into the business of Category:American people by British city...-choster 21:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Do we really need to categorize people by city? What does it mean to be "of a city"?  Do you need to be born there?  Lived there how many years?  When thinking about the biographies I've categorized, most of the time there isn't an obvious city to put them under.  My usual practice is to stop at nationality and not even go down to the level of state, much less city.  --JeffW 23:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I on the other hand would rather list people by city of birth. Nationalities and states are fluid but cities survive them. User:Dimadick
 * But that isn't what is done. The categories are used flexibly, which makes sense to me. Hawkestone 17:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep as per User:Choster and reverse merge redirects. (i started up this set of pages and named them with it in mind that many people of a city are not necessarily of the nationality of that city) a few others such as Category:American people by city should be renamed Mayumashu 10:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. But then will we need categories like category:British people in Chicago or category:Canadian people in Berlin, as subcategories of category:British people by city and category:Canadian people by city? &mdash; Instantnood 17:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

As I understand the article Auk, "Auks" is just a common name for Alcidae. If so, the categories should be merged. Conscious 12:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC).
 * Is that British usage? I don't think American birders or ornithologists would refer to puffins, guillemots, murres (an American word), or even auklets as auks.  Maybe the article needs revision.


 * The only difference between the categories seems to be that "Alcidae" contains the extinct Mancallinae. My preference would be to rename "Auks" as "Alcinae" (if that's the right subfamily name), since I don't think there's a common name for all these birds in American English any more than there is for Icteridae or Cardinalidae, but I could live with merging the categories and calling the merged version "auks" if the British do that.  &mdash;JerryFriedman 17:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Ditto Auks -> Alcinae. There is a nascent category system using taxonomic names only, and an incomplete older one using vernacular names, which are of course not mutually exclusive: Sometimes, e.g. for eagles (which are not a holophyletic assemblage but part of Buteoninae) this is good and makes perfect sense. In other cases, e.g. here, it is redundant. So Category:Auks should be Category:Alcinae with "Auk" as reference page (as it already is. Strictly, the page is about Alcidae, but there is no page for Alcinae). I hope I can soon find time to review my Mancalla literature and add some more articles on these funny critters. They were certainly distinct and peculiar birds worthy of note, one of these ersatz penguin taxa like Chendytes or the plotopterids, and the last species was probably killed off by humans, and the fossil record is very good. To simply drop them away with a footnote would have to be reversed anyway when there's more on these guys in WP. I think I could probably scrape together a stub on Mancallinae or Mancalla at a day's notice so we have category reference pages, but fossil species are not high on my priority list (I prefer to have somebody build subs and then flesh them out, taxobox them etc).
 * In vernacular language, there has always been a distinction between the different types of Alcidae (or Alcinae). "Murrelets" are American, as they are N Pacific birds. To an Englishman too, an "auk" is Alca torda only. "Auks" is a vernacular name mainly used by scientists who don't want to say "Alcidae/-inae". However, the vernacular categories (guillemots, puffins etc) should tie in in the Alcinae category, or possibly in Alcidae.
 * re "Maybe the article needs revision" - as said above, "Auk" is the vernacular scientific name for all alcid birds. Ornithologists would certainly use it in casual conservation (though they probably prefer "alcid"); birders probably won't (there's no point in saying you saw an unspecified species of alcid when the different types are readily recognizable in the field). At any rate, the taxonomic names redirect there. It's just as "parrot" would mean a mid-sized short-tailed psittacine, but "Parrots" includes macaws etc. Laypersons certainly won't use "Auks"; to them, there is only that one species (and the Giant Auk) to which such a name refers, and even that would probably be termed "razorbill". Cf. the name of the journal, "The Auk" (like "The Condor", but unlike "Cotinga", "Ardea" and whatnot). Dysmorodrepanis 18:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Auks is a term quite commonly used as a term for the family by birders in the UK - eg "thousands of auks passing Flamborough Head" or when a Razorbill/Guillemot is too distant to identify to species (as with "comic tern".) jimfbleak 09:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Or "Dammond's flycatcher". But do "thousands of auks" include puffins?


 * Anyway, I believe you guys if you say so, but I think it's a lot less common on these shores. Sibley, for instance, uses "alcids".  But then what do I know?  Alcidae are fairly rare in New Mexico.  &mdash;JerryFriedman 17:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

So it made sense to have a scheme that connected them to the real categories and cleaned out the overcrowded Category:Fictional towns and cities category. (As a personal pet peeve, can we eliminate words like "ridiculously" from our nominations? Too often we discover reasons that make things not so ridiculous. I'm guilty of this too. It's just an etiquette thing.)--Mike Selinker 14:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete Unneeded, There's no need to be this specific about origin, especially with regions. The Category:Spanish Mexicans is enough. It's like having categories such as "Midi-Pyrénées-Canadians".... --- Lancini87 05:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC) Delete - ludicrously specific.

 * Keep these are certainly not analagous to modern French regions: these are historic nations and countries that existed long before the invention of "Spain", and continue to be just as, often more, widely-used definitions of nationality as "Spanish". --Mais oui! 07:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Modern Spain came into existence before Mexico. Osomec 17:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mais Oui is correct in that these are historic "nations". However, they had all been absorbed into the Kingdom of Spain by the time Spain settled Mexico. If someone can provide convincing evidence that modern-day Mexicans regularly delineate between their countrymen who had (increasingly distant) ancestors from Galicia and those who had (increasingly distant) ancestors from Catalonia, then I will look at my vote again. I note there is no evidence that this distinction is recognised in Mexico. Valiantis 17:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Categorising articles by WikiProject is self reference. Many of the articles included have category clutter problems. Delete. CalJW 04:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC).
 * The problem is that these articles have been categorized on the article page - this should have been done on the talk page, and the category "isolated" from the content-space categories. So long as this is done, there is no need for the category to be deleted, so keep provided that the category tags are transferred to the talk pages. TheGrappler 20:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge to category:Toy weapons. - TexasAndroid 20:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

even a "Water gun" cat would not contain 10 articles as is. Circeus 02:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Question: Do we anywhere near 10 articles for a water gun category? If so, I'd like to have one, but I can only find Squirt gun, Super Soaker, and CPS 2000. It doesn't seem to be a growth area either, so if that's it, I'm leaning towards merging this cat's one member to Category:Toys. ×Meegs 12:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Category:Toys. Golfcam 01:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this catagory has room to expand as there are so many super soakers to be reviewed, and then theres the rival companys soakers as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.25.160 (talk • contribs)
 * I suggest letting this category be deleted, and creating a single category for all water guns once a few more articles have been created. ×Meegs 09:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Move per Meegs to Category:Toy water guns, a subcategory of Category:Toys. David Kernow 15:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Move per David Kernow, or maybe even better, category:Toy weapons to match the Toy weapon article. "Toys" deserves more subcategorization.--Mike Selinker 14:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
