 * Nominator's rationale:
 * I tried to make this two columns but the coding doesn't seem to work. If someone wants to tell me how to fix it (or just wants to fix it) that would be cool. Otto4711 22:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Whew, Weak keep on Category:Slayer and Category:The Stone Roses which contain articles about a related side-project. I tend to think that's a better-than-average reason for eponymous categories, especially since it suggests a strong potential for growth, IMO.  Very weak keep on Category:Super Furry Animals, which contains an article about the band's own label, and Category:Slumber Party Girls, which contains an article about the TV show for which the band is a house band.  Neutral on Category:Status Quo which contains an article about a producer whose association with the band may or may not be defining and Category:System of a Down which contains an article about a book written by a band-member, which may or may not be a defining association with the band.  Delete Category:Skid Row, Category:Sly & the Family Stone, Category:Styx, and the category (it's not Slumber Party Girls, but I don't remember which one it is now) that contains a media subcategory, per nom. Delete all the rest per nom and per extensive precedent which has even stood up to DRV now.  Xtifr tälk 23:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)  Addendum: struck comments related to categories that have been withdrawn from this nomination.  Xtifr tälk 01:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep all, useful for navigation. Not that it matters, these pages will be deleted no matter what the votes are. Look at this CfD, the votes were 4 Keep, 3 Delete. Now you might think that this meat there was no consensus with a slight lean to keep, but all the pages were deleted because there was precedent stated. It makes you wonder why we bother having a vote in the first place. --Philip Stevens 06:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote counting is never used to determine the results of discussions. See WP:NOT and Consensus.  Rather than vote counting admins weigh the logical side of all arguments to come to their decisions on deletions. Dugwiki 15:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Exactly!  The policy on these needs to be discussed first before they get nominated, if the result of the nomination is always going to be delete, regardless of the many good arguements for keep.  I wonder how many other people would nominate these categories if Otto didn't... Lugnuts 13:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I would nominate them, to answer your question. Most of these eponymous band categories deserve deletion.  I'm just glad Otto takes the time to do it so I don't have to. Dugwiki 15:28, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I would nominate them too, and I'm sure there are plenty of others who would do the same. As for the "policy", well, first, it's more of a guideline.  But it has been discussed at great length in previous debates.  Precedent at XfD is one of the primary sources for Wikipedia guidelines.  And the reason they're all still brought for debate is twofold: one, we need to check to see if they really meet the guideline, and two, we need to discuss the possibility that they count as an exception to the guideline.  Note that all the performers-by-performance categories are brought for discussion too, even though that's an even more clear guideline.   Also, since it may not be clear to those who are new to the discussion, I should point out that none of the subcategories are included in these nominations.  So navigation is basically unaffected.  Xtifr tälk 20:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep all per Philip Stevens and send any improper deletions for review. Dominictimms 12:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * A set of these has already been through DRV and the deletion was endorsed. Otto4711 17:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Might want to split this into separate nominations Since there are some specific subcategories that people are objecting too, I'd recommend spliting this into separate nominations. Each category should be reviewed on its own merits.  While I agree that most will end up being deleted, the discussion otherwise can become pretty convuluted if we combine all the specific category debates into one thread. Dugwiki 15:28, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. Otto even went so far as to point out several that were potentially exceptions to the guidelines established by precedent.  Frankly, I'd like to see only the ones that clearly match precedent bundled, and the possible exceptions discussed individually.  (Or in groups with similar properties.)  Xtifr tälk 20:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The exceptions are those categories with a single item that falls outside the guideline established by precedent. As I did the same sort of exception listing in other similar CFDs I thought it was reasonable here. If it's too distracting to consider those ten as part of this nomination then I will withdraw them so we can concentrate on the ones that do meet the precedent. Otto4711 20:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, no biggie, really, but the previous nominations were generally smaller and it was a lot easier to find and note the exceptions. This is the first one where it's actually been a bit of a problem, IMO.  I guess "S" is just too popular of a letter. :)  Xtifr tälk 21:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep all Ramroading a mixed bag like this through is inappropriate. The nom knows that this is controversial and should stop it. Abberley2 17:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * All the "mixed bag" instances have been struck, and only the clear cases that exactly match precedent have been left in this nomination. Xtifr tälk 22:08, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all, I use cats like these for navigation all the time. As for the citing of a precedent, I used a precedent in this CfD and it was ignored. So let's not have double standards. Hera1187 20:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * With respect, the "precedent" you cited in that CFD (which BTW I agree with) consisted of basically a single category. The precedent against categories named after people is so well established that it's part of the overcategorization guideline. None of the categories here meet the limited exception outlined there and "I use it" is not a persuasive argument. Otto4711 01:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete all. Clearly this is supporting the previous CfDs.  When specific objections have been raised, the categories have been withdrawn and can be nominated and discussed on an individual basis. No reason to deviate from past consensus at this time. Vegaswikian 02:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category or categories above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was keep  --Kbdank71 13:43, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * malayali scientists
 * tamil nobel laureates
 * tamil scientists

Delete as being overcategorized and per Non-notable intersections. For the same reason, we don't have categories like Bavarian scientists when German scientists will cover it. See also German-American sportspeople-- Agεθ020 ( ΔT  •  ФC ) 21:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep as valid and typical sub-cat of Category:People by ethnic or national origin There are more Tamils in the world than Italians (not quite more than Germans) and more Malayali people than Swedes. Johnbod 21:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all For the Nobel laureates, there appears to be a little used scheme to categorize by nationality, not by ethnic group. Similarly, scientists are also categorized by nationality, not categorized by ethnicity as far as I can find, which is not surprising because we don't have articles such as Tamil science, Malayali science, Apache science, Basque science or the myriad ethnic groups one could choose. Carlossuarez46 02:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as valid as saying a Basque something or other or another example is countries/groups from the former russian/soviet union, i.e. kazakh, georgian, lithuanian. Bavarian in no way compares to the uniquenss of what tamil and malayali are, bavarian could be a cultural group, but is not a separate language or ethnic group, its a dialect.
 * Delete, the ethnicity of scientists is irrelevant to the work they do, we shouldn't categorize Scientists by ethnicity . -- Prove It (talk) 13:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If deleted, Merge first and third cats into Category:Indian scientists. --musicpvm 20:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge carefully, because these categories are meant to contain people of this ethnicity regardless of whether they are Indian, Sri Lankan, British, Canadian, Trinidadian, or whatever; do not assume that they are Indian. Carlossuarez46 00:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If deleted, all should also be merged into Category:Tamil people or Malayali. This nomination does not seem to recognise the ethnicity tree to which these categories also belong. No ethnic cleansing please!  Johnbod 23:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Bravo! My sentiments exactly. Bloodless it may be, but ethnic cleansing, all the same. Cgingold 10:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Tamil Nobel Laureates is along the lines of Category:Bengali Nobel laureates, for an ethnic group in South Asia. Malayali and Tamil scientists are valid categories meant to reduce the load on Category:Indian scientists, which would become unnavigable after upmerging these and Category:Bengali scientists. Baka man  03:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Once again, ethnicity categories up for deletion because they're not considered equally valid, they're not granted full standing as categories, whereas occupation categories are automatically accorded primacy. Ethnicity is no less valid than either occupation or nationality. Please take a moment, step back, and look at this from a different, but equally valid perspective: suppose you would like to learn what fields of endeavor people of Malayali or Tamil ethnicity have made a name in. Categories of this sort are a valuable aid for that kind of inquiry. And the whole point of having categories and subcategories is to help readers find what they're looking for. As long as there are enough articles to populate these cats, there is no good reason to delete them. Cgingold 10:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep This category suggests ethinicity and language affiliation. Seems like valid categories. Madhava 1947 (talk) 05:49, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment When a scientific community is classified, it is generally classified on a nationality or institutional basis. eg. German scientific community or Harvard scientific faculty. It is never referred by language or ethnicity as a rule. eg. Bengali physicists or physics community. -- Agεθ020 ( ΔT  •  ФC ) 23:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * company portmanteaus


 * computing portmanteaus


 * geographic portmanteaus


 * scientific portmanteaus


 * political portmanteaus


 * redirects from portmanteaus


 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Nom complete. Carlossuarez46 18:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep the Political portmanteau category -- many of those words are derogatory terms which were intentionally devised to sound ugly, and it's a legitimate categorization... AnonMoos 18:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If that's so, and it's certainly true with anything in the US that ends in "-gate", most of which haven't seem to have made it into the cat, or such things as Helengrad, but a much better category can be devised to capture these, because portmanteau political or otherwise is just a way the word is formed. Carlossuarez46 18:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, "-gate" is now pretty much an ordinary derivational suffix in English, and words compounded with "-gate" would not generally be described as portmanteaus... AnonMoos 15:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all except the political one per AnonMoos. Johnbod 19:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - as nom says, categories are for similar articles. The names of these articles are related by portmanteauism, but the subjects are not related. Also, delete because we can't seem to keep them populated accurately.  What does and does not constitute a portmanteau is generally a judgement call made by editors, not a verifiable categorization scheme.  If there truly is a notable political portmanteau concept, we should write an article about it, and then maybe bring the category back. ~ Booya Bazooka 19:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- categorizing things by the origin of their names would lead to a horrid mess. LeSnail 20:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all: we categorize topics, not names. No objection to listification, but I certainly won't insist on it.  Xtifr tälk 23:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Xtifr Abberley2 17:39, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - As Dr.S pointed out in the related discussion, Wictionary is a more appropriate place for this sort of lexicological categorization. Cgingold 21:04, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment/Questions - 1) I noticed that the Geographic subcat wasn't tagged with the CFD template. Will that one need to be renominated so as to be in compliance with procedural rules?
 * 2) Both Geographic & Scientific were left as orphaned categories when their sole parent Category:Portmanteaus was deleted followng the previous CFD. That being the case, shouldn't they have been automatically deleted as well, then and there?
 * 3) I did enjoy perusing the contents of these cats, and even took a minute to read several of the articles. It seems to me that most of them should be converted to list-articles, which could then be given their own Category:Lists of portmanteaus. Cgingold 21:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Violin makers and restorers to Category:Bowed string instrument makers
 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Rename per nom Johnbod 16:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename and if appropriate, make a redirect Category:Violin family instrument makers to this one. Furthermore, Category:Luthiers has quite a bit of confusing overlap with this one, with some names arbitrarily showing up one place and not the other. On my talk page, nominator has suggested "it would be better to have a Category:Bowed string instrument makers, and allow Category:Luthiers to contain that and Category:Guitar makers " __Just plain Bill 22:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with that suggestion, with the caveat that it may not always be clear-cut. If memory serves, the quintessential violin-maker, Antonio S. of Cremona, also made a few guitars and other non-bowed instruments... __Just plain Bill

 * Propose renaming Category:United Kingdom Students' Unions to Category:United Kingdom students' unions
 * Propose renaming Category:Scottish Students' Unions to Category:Scottish students' unions
 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Rename both per nom, but expect long and irrelevant expressions of opposite points of view I suppose. Later added: No objection to British (lame attempt at joke did not anticipate a UK/Brit issue & was not intended to cast aspersions at either side in that!) Or to British.Johnbod 12:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to British students' unions rather than United Kingdom, but otherwise as per nom. Tim! 16:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose "British" - although there aren't yet articles on them, Queen's and Ulster (and a general Northern Irish category) would qualify for the UK category. "British" does not mean the same thing as "United Kingdom". Timrollpickering 16:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Category:British student societies, Category:British student political organisations, Category:British student media groups, Category:British student theatre all use the adjectival form. Tim! 17:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename using "British" per Tim! for consistency. We have thousands (at least) of categories using "British", so there's no valid reason for being inconsistent here.  "British" is, like it or not, the standard adjectival form on Wikipedia, and if we're going to change that, we should do so after a broader discussion, rather than in a awkward. piecemeal fashion.  Xtifr tälk 12:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename using United Kingdom, as the category structure is not standardised as "British", and "British" is not quite factual (i.e. Northern Ireland).  Tewfik <sup style="color:#888888;">Talk 20:08, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename/merge as nominated  --Kbdank71 13:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Suggest merging Category:Jewish wikiprojects to Category:WikiProject Judaism
 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletions.   IZAK 08:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Category:WikiProject Judaism for above reasons. IZAK 08:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The "ambiguity" of the name is maybe not the real issue here. The "culture" (=secular, apparently) and Othodox projects seem struggling to maintain life, but the history one seems reasonably vigorous, if not so much so as Pr Judaism. But how do the other projects feel about this?. Johnbod 12:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment are they all indeed "sub-Wikiprojects" of WikiProject Judaism?  Tewfik <sup style="color:#888888;">Talk 20:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Suggest merging Category:Famous Catholics to Category:Catholics
 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Speedy merge Delete (amended per Provit below)only contains Tara Lipinski! Johnbod 12:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Nathanian 13:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the only current member might belong in Category:American Roman Catholics, but her religion isn't mentioned in the article. -- Prove It (talk) 15:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete if someone sources her religion, put her in the narrower (and hence more proper) cat at least until the day comes when we get rid of all ethnic/religion/race categories here. Yeah, keep dreaming Carlos. Carlossuarez46 18:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Judging the category on its merits, not its members, it should be merged.  That is to say, anyone who would properly be in this category should end up in the nom's suggested merge target, and more members might get added before the debate closes.  "Famous" is absolutely an inappropriate word to use in category names.  As for the current member, that seems more like a content dispute than anything to do with this category per se, and anyone who thinks the person doesn't belong in either of these categories is welcome to edit the article (although it should probably wait till after the debate closes for appearance's sake.)  Xtifr tälk 01:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's just the article doesn't mention her being Catholic at all, so it's someone who can source her being so who needs to edit it - no doubt she is. Maybe she crosses herself before performing - is that a WP:RS if filmed ;) ?  Thats not just Catholic either, of course. Johnbod 01:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - If a Catholic is notable enough to have a bio on Wikipedia, is s/he not already "famous"? - Crockspot 04:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename to Category:FIFA Century Club to match   --Kbdank71 13:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * footballers with 100 or more caps


 * Nominator's rationale:
 * I cannot understand your actions here at all. You have overturned a previous deletion, acknowledged the strength of the case for keeping the category, acknowledged that the grounds for deletion has uncertain consensus, and yet you are still proposing the page for deletion.  If your purpose is to promote further discussion on the scope and intent of the Arbitrary Inclusion criterion, then surely that debate should be taking place on the talk pages at WP:OCAT.  100 caps is a matter of great celebration, it is an achievement deemed worthy of recording by the sport's governing body: thus even if 100 is deemed to be no less random a number than 97 (which IMHO flies in the face of logic and experience), it is not arbitrary because this is an issue of crossing a thresh-hold rather than simply reaching a gross total. Kevin McE 09:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment ^^^ What he said. This nomination sounds like a bad case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Lugnuts 11:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think what nom is saying is that people were unaware of a possibly valid argument to keep, but he doesn't think it's necessarily sufficient. Since it was deleted before, running the debate again is not at all unreasonable.  People might not want to change their vote (obviously, since he doesn't).  Nevertheless, I think the recognition by FIFA is sufficient to take this out of the strictly-arbitrary category, so Keep .  Xtifr tälk 13:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Changed my position, see below.  Xtifr tälk 12:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per my comments last time & on DRV, but can someone provide a link to the FIFA recognition of this career landmark, which was not done last time? Johnbod 12:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As reported here and here, the FIFA list can be found here. Kevin McE 12:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks (correction - only done on the penultimate day of the last debate) Johnbod 14:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - 100 is regarded as the honour in football. Timrollpickering 12:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed position see below. Timrollpickering 13:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep' Defining honour for a footballer. One hundred is not a arbitrary number. Nathanian 13:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment is there a reason why this cat is empty? Has someone done something precipitous or is it just not being used. If the former, tsk tsk, if the latter, based upon the arguments above about how significant a thing this seems to be, I'm a bit surprised that no one has been included? Carlossuarez46 18:20, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It had loads of articles before it was deleted; presumably will be auto-repopulated before or after this debate concludes (if a keep). Johnbod 19:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That explains it, thanks. Carlossuarez46 06:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and repopulate for the many reasons given in the various discussions. Oliver Han 20:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is tiresome and begins to look rather pointy. Arguments for retention presented across three debates: many and compelling. Arguments for deletion presented across three debates: a misunderstanding of the meaning of the word "Arbitrary". Dominictimms 12:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong rename to Category:FIFA Century Club, because that's what it's actually called. Having X amount of games sounds arbitrary for any X, being a member of a club defined by the FIFA is not arbitrary.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  14:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to actual name per Radiant,  Tewfik <sup style="color:#888888;">Talk 20:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
