 * fictional science fiction ground vehicles


 * Nominator's rationale:
 * I did the original name, if you can recategorise it and still keep it in the Space:1999 category, fair enough. The category itself sprung out of a dispute I had with User:Matthew. The stub for one had them under the Fictional Spacecraft entry and he was insistent that since they are vehicles they couldn't go in there.  I didn't want the entries deleted though, but if there's a way of working it so that the two articles stay and are just recategorised I'm easy with that. Douglasnicol 20:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Category:Space: 1999 vehicles is a subcategory of Category:Fictional vehicles. Otto4711 22:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * DeleteFine, then in my opinion you can do away with Category:Fictional Science Fiction Ground Vehicles, sorry for creating a rather redundant topic. This keeps the Space:1999 category and keeps it under the Fictional Vehicles category which is a lot better. Douglasnicol 22:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Keep The whole of Wikipedia is interlinked, yet we have a category system too, as it allows people to choose how to navigate our content. Postlebury 13:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Eponymous television categories aren't needed for the main article and characters subcategory (which is the bulk of this category). The remaining two items are the theme song and Summer Bay, both of which obviously are easily navigated to from the television show's main article. Since the main article is the most straightforward way to get this info, the eponymous category can be safely deleted. Dugwiki 17:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I was hoping some of the plant people would have an opinion. I can see arguments for either way, but I think I would prefer a merge.  If we do a merge, I'd like to keep a redirect since both names are valid and mean the same thing. -- Prove It (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep The whole of Wikipedia is interlinked, yet we have a category system too, as it allows people to choose how to navigate our content. Postlebury 13:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete When the main article for a television show serves as a sufficient navigational hub for all the articles about the show, an eponymous category on top of that is largely redundant and can be safely deleted. Dugwiki 17:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * zion's camp participants


 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Keep : participation in this event is a defining characteristic of a number of the individuals in the category (though perhaps not all). It was not a small group of people (in the 100s) and there is no reason that all participants that are the subject of a present or future WP article should or will be added to the Zion's Camp article. The "long-term utility" of categorizing people this way is that it assigns them to a category that is a notable and defining characteristic or status of the person—isn't this the whole point of WP categories? Alternatively, a list might be useful if it was a comprehensive list of participants. (Full disclosure—I created the cat.) –SESmith 05:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If this was a defining characteristic for all of the members, then there would not be an issue about keeping. Since it is not, then some members need to be removed from the category.  Since there already is a list, and the membership will not increase or change, I'd lean towards using the list.  That way we do not need to monitor this category for participants where this is not a defining characteristic. So unless there is another reason to keep, consider this a Delete.  Vegaswikian 22:52, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think what I meant is that it is not necessarily the primary defining characteristic for all included. I would say it is a defining characteristic for all. That's just semantics, but I didn't mean to suggest it was not defining at all for some. It would be hard for such an event to not have a major effect on a person. Certainly, the event is mentioned in every basic biography of every participant. As for the list, it was recently created after the nomination and after my previous comment. –SESmith 01:06, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
