 * Delete - as much as the patriot in me likes the name and subject of this category, the Dr. makes a good argument. The definition of "Founding Fathers" is too vague to be either usefully or consistently applied.--William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 01:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * request if deleted, first make sure each article is in the Category:People of the American Revolution or one or more of its subcategories. Hmains 01:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - Were all the people who wrote the Constitution involved in the American Revolution? If so, then a merge would be appropriate.  If not, then the category should be deleted.  (Many look like they are listed in "colonial people" or "American Revolution" categories anyway.)  Dr. Submillimeter 11:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the revolution wasn't just a bunch of battles. I'd say the signing of the declaration was an event in the revolution. — coe l acan — 22:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - You do realize that the United States Declaration of Independence is not the same document as the United States Constitution, don't you?  Also, the compilation of the U.S. Constitution took place a few years after the fighting ended in North America.  Dr. Submillimeter 10:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realize that. While I was reading your comment, I was thinking of the nominator's statement:  According to Founding Fathers of the United States, this category may contain "the political leaders who signed the Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution, or otherwise participated in the American Revolution as leaders of the Patriots."  But you weren't talking about the Declaration. Ignore my tangent. — coe l acan — 14:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Social justice and poverty

 * 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 category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was merge Category:Social justice and poverty into Category:Poverty
 * Category:Social justice and poverty to Category:Poverty


 * Merge - This is relisted from 17 Feb 2007. This was a subcategory of Category:Social justice, which was deleted mainly because the term "social justice" was too vague and appeared to encompass too many topics.  While people agreed on deleting the parent category, no consensus was reached on what to do with this subcategory.  I originally suggested deletion, but now I suggest merging this into Category:Poverty.  I honestly see no difference between the articles in this category and the articles in Category:Poverty (and some articles, such as child poverty and War on Poverty, are found in both categories anyway).  Dr. Submillimeter 23:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge "Social justice" means whatever one wants it to mean. (Not that "Poverty" isn't a problematic term too, but I guess there is a topic here, so the related articles should be grouped.) ReeseM 01:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Although both "social justice" and "poverty" are normative terms, "poverty" can be quantified (albeit arbitrarily) by government guidelines, etc. --William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 01:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

It was made before Al Gore and his cronies ever conceived the term.[End Rant] In addition to the nom's reasoning, I would also say the term itslelf is too WP:NEO to be a category name.--William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 01:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep! Well spotted - what's more, Legends of Dune, Paul of Dune and Prelude to Dune are book series, so they should stay in the existing category. I'll just set up more categories as required. Discussion closed early - withdrawn by nominator. - Fayenatic london (talk) 19:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Agree, delete There's really no reason to retain such a anal-retentive category with only 3 members. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is categorization by name, a form of overcategorization. The institutions have little to do with each other aside from their name; the category should therefore be deleted.  Dr. Submillimeter 23:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 * futurologists


 * relisted from Feb 22. Tim! 20:14, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, and partly depopulate to sub-categories. Create new sub-Category:Futurist consultants, which would be a useful defining characteristic as per the second sentence above, and move such individuals down into it. The existing head category is also of interest.  Let SF writers also be a sub-category of Category:Futurologists, and remove individual writers from the head category (or allow some to remain if widely recognised for making serious real-world predictions). Other futurologists who fit neither of these sub-categories, e.g. scientists and economists, should remain in the head category. - Fayenatic london (talk) 20:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - some sf writers have also written significant non-fiction books of speculation about the future. It's not really surprising, is it, if these two kinds of writing overlap somewhat in terms of the authors involved? David Brin is one who immediately springs to mind, though I'm not sure whether or not he has actually been placed in the relevant category. The most important is doubtless Arthur C. Clarke. I can think of others - Damien Broderick is another one - but it doesn't mean that every science fiction writer has done it; most probably haven't, and it would actually be a quite limited number who have. Really, I'm not sure I see what the problem is supposed to be. Metamagician3000 12:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is not clear that Clarke or other sci-fi writers are included in this category because of their non-fiction works. Actually, it is not clear as to who would or should be included in this category.  It seems like an economist who makes a prediction about future stock market prices or a sociologist making predictions about what society will be like in 20 years would fall into this category, too.  It effectively boils down to "people who predict the future".  Is it really useful for categorization?  Dr. Submillimeter 13:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair comment - but there probably is a case to keep some sort of category for books such as those I mentioned, whether or not written by sf writers, and/or for their authors. My point is that there might be a legitimate explanation for certain sf writers falling into such a category. I do wonder why we need futurist and futurologist. At a minimum, these cats need to be rationalised somehow. Whoops, see below. I misunderstood. My bad. HOWEVER, when we look at the articles, Futurologist redirects to Futurist. So wouldn't it make sense to be consistent and make the caterory one of "futurists"? It would also make sense for consistency to change the List of futurologists article to List of futurists, yes?Metamagician3000 23:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There's only one category for all futurist people at the moment, Category:Futurologists. This is within the useful category:Futurology. A focussed sub-category for consultants sounds useful to me. In case anyone was confused by the four pages linked in the nomination above, they are articles (short, stub, list and long article, respectively).    - Fayenatic london (talk) 10:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Category:African American hip hop groups to Category:American hip hop groups


 * Merge, because 99.99999% of notable American hip-hop groups are African-American. Utterly pointless category. Urthogie 14:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Relisted from Feb 19. Tim! 19:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep The number of pages in this group is not very large, nor does it explicity mirror the content of the cat "American hip hop groups." The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not very large because people don't use it. If they did it would be 99% the size of American hip hop groups.


 * Merge but not per nom, rather because IMHO Category:White hip hop groups wouldn't survive as a category and I see no compelling reason why hip hop artists need to be categorized by race. Otto4711 22:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge per Otto4711; it is unnecessary in most cases to categorise by race.

 * Delete This is similar to doing "actor by television network", and we've had other such cfds recently for other networks as I recall. Basically this is a bad idea because many actors perform for numerous production companies in their career and you could easily end up with too many of these categories per actor article.

 * forbes 400


 * Delete, arbitrary moving target. Quatloo 17:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As above, the 400 is arbitrary and the results change year to year. A better way to handle this is to provide year to year list articles rather than placing category tags in the associated articles. Dugwiki 18:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete A well chosen limit should not be described as "arbitary", but the problem with the category is that it does not reveal when each person made the list. Also, there is no way of telling at a glance whether the category is complete or accurate. Listifying is out of the question as it would be a breach of copyright. Wimstead 18:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To see why 400 is probably arbitary, simply ask why the list has "400" members instead of "300" or "500". The only explanation I can think of off-hand is that the Forbes editors pretty much arbitrarily picked the number "400", maybe for space reasons ("We can't fit 500 in one magazine") or for alliterative purposes (sounds better when said out loud than "Forbes 300").  So lacking evidence to the contrary, I'm guessing it's an arbitrary limit on the size of the category. Dugwiki 18:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * "Arbitary" is a pejorative term. 400 was a reasonable number for Forbes to choose (unlike 23 or 37,312) and the category creator could not have chosen any other number.

Category:People commemorated by blue plaques
<div class="boilerplate vfd" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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 category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was delete as overcategorisation, and listify. Tricky, but I think I perceive a consensus. Purely on a head-count it's 9-3 support for the nominator's rationale. I looked at the previous discussion of blue plaque categories pointed to by Oosoom, and in my judgement it does not address the issue raised by the Dr. Submillimeter. While a blue plaque is not exactly a posthumous award, most contributors here seem convinced it is effectively one. Also the plaque links the person and a building, information not amenable to Wikipedia categorisation but perfectly feasible on a list. No-one disputed Jpbowen's argument for the blue plaques' cultural significance, but neither was it accepted as an argument in favour of keeping this category. My robot will create a list at list of people commemorated by blue plaques in due course. --RobertG ♬ talk 14:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * people commemorated by blue plaques


 * Correction Not the "city of London" if by that you mean the City of London, a tiny part of the whole city, which the scheme covers. Also see JP Bowen below - other parts of the country have similar schemes Johnbod 00:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I should have said Greater London. I also acknowledge that blue plauqes are used in other parts of the United Kingdom, although the practice seems to be the most popular in London.  Dr. Submillimeter 10:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note to administrator - If this discussion is closed with a decision to delete and listify, please contact me so that I may listify the category. Dr. Submillimeter 15:14, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If you listify (and I'm unclear on why a list is appropriate), can't the title be reworded to clarify what kind of "blue plaques" you're talking about? Doczilla 17:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Blue plaques are known to be special historical markers within the United Kingdom. Since the article on blue plaques does not contain any disambiguation links and since most Google searches turn up pages directly related to these blue plaques, I do not see the need for adding disambiguation to a list article.  I will, however, add a brief introduction describing the blue plaques before writing the list.  Dr. Submillimeter 23:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There are lists in the external links from blue plaque. Wimstead 18:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Keep . This category was assessed for deletion three months ago. I believe the arguments for keeping it to be pesuasive and unchanged. Please read the discussion here before deciding to vote. I don't understand the reference to London above. This is not correct. Oosoom Talk to me 09:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - That previous discussion does not address a key point made here. This category represents one of many honors that these people received for their actions.  Categorization by awards and honors like this is not feasible, as some articles would be overwhelmed with categories listing all the awards that these people have won.  I am willing to transcribe the information, which would also satisfy some of the other problems indicated in the last nomination.  With a list, it would be possible to link the locations with the people.  Dr. Submillimeter 10:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that category bloat could be an issue. However, I don't see the blue plaque as an award (such as an Oscar), but more as a factual link to a building or place. For example, Mozart's plaque(s) in London doesn't need to tell me that he was famous or important, but that he was here (sorry about the apparant local bias, but I made a special trip to see if it was really true). His being in a category, I could then jump straight to other buildings of interest, such as those of Handel and Jimmy Hendrix (intriguingly next to each other), and Vita Sackville West, actually next to Mozart's. Perhaps I am not sure how a list would help me, but I reckon that categories are the most reliable and easiest way to point both ways - person article to list, and list to person/place/building. Oosoom Talk to me 11:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Misunderstandings I think there are two general misunderstandings about blue plaques. 1 while they started in London, and while English Heritage has a strong link to blue plaques they exist all over the country and are created by many different bodies. In addition, there are many bodies erecting plaques in London. Any reference to London or English Heritage is mistaken. 2 Plaques are not awards to a person. They are a commemoration of an association of a person to a place or building and therefore a record of local history. While the individual building or site may not of itself be worthy of an article, it is the association of a person or event with that place which is notable. What I am trying to say is that it is the categorisation that is notable, and should remain. I see the plaques in the same way as monumental sculptures. Would anyone seriously consider deleting from such articles as ? Oosoom Talk to me 13:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Response While I wouldn't remove Category:Outdoor sculptures in the United States from Statue of Liberty, I would remove it from Stevie Ray Vaughan or Abraham Lincoln who both have outdoor sculptures because they were notable but who are not notable for having outdoor sculptures. ~ Bigr  Tex  15:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep — as mentioned above, this has been discussed before. The blue plaques category together with its two sub-categories for people and places, provides a useful and sometimes delightfully serendipitous way to cross-link people and places. Not many people achieve the status of being honoured with a blue plaque so I think it should remain manageable in practice. (For information, in London I believe you have to be dead for at least 20 years, usually much more, to get one and Jimi Hendrix was one of fastest to be honoured in this way.) I would be disheartened to see this category and sub-categories disappear. Please also note that blue plaques are not always in London (for example, Oxfordshire has a similar scheme) and there are not even always blue, although many are, especially if officially installed. — Jonathan Bowen 12:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - These "not many people achieve this status" arguments and "the categories make it useful for navigation" arguments could easily be applied to many other awards and honors won by these individuals. The problem is that everyone who likes a certain award or honor (such as the Boy Scout enthusiasts who supported Category:Silver Buffalo awardees) will somehow argue that their particular honor or award is more important than the Nobel Prize.  The main problem with these award and honor categories is that if everyone includes their "important" award or honor category, the categories eventually lead to a sprawling list of category links in the people's articles that are difficult to read or use for navigation.  These categories are inappropriate for navigation.  Dr. Submillimeter 14:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dr. Submillimeter. Essentially random. AshbyJnr 19:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete (additional reason): Overcategorization states that only those awards that are best known internationally should be categorized. Most of us non-Europeans have never heard of those blue plaques. This should be listified per nom. Doczilla 22:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: (Argument for Keep) There seems to be a misunderstanding here. Blue plaques are not awards, they are not categorised as such on Wikipedia. Instead, they are a commemoration of the location of famous people at least 20 years after their death. They are much more to do with cultural heritage and history than awards, as you will notice if you look at the categories under which it resides. They are a very important part of recording British cultural history. Thus I do not think any guidance concerning awards should apply here. Rather, importance with respect to cultural heritage should apply. And I believe there is a strong case here. They are nationally important in Britain. — Jonathan Bowen 22:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note to administrator - This should not be counted as a keep vote by Jonathan Bowen, who already voted above. (The way this is written, it may be misread as a keep vote.  No offense intended towards Jonathan Bowen.)  Dr. Submillimeter 08:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - These are not exactly awards, but blue plaques are only given out to people who are noteworthy (generally people who have won many awards anyway). Note that the information from this category will not be lost from Wikipedia; I will use the English Heritage website on blue plaques to create a list of blue plaques article.  Dr. Submillimeter 08:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * delete Due to the minimal level of connection between the articles. LukeHoC 14:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep They are certainly notable and distinct enough to keep. Johnbod 00:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No one is notable for having a blue plaque, they are notable for the things they did to earn a blue plaque, and they will be categorised on the basis of those attributes. This is clutter. ReeseM 14:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and Listify Not a defining characteristic of the people who are mentioned, also per WP:OC#Awards. I am undecided on the other two categories that were previously discussed, but they are not up for discussion here. ~  Bigr  Tex  15:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete and Listify Blue plaques are not a defining characteristic of the person commemorated, as such it is inappropriate that biography articles should be thus categorised.  On the other hand they are somewhat defining for the buildings concerned, so I would probably have less objection to a notional Category:Buildings with Blue plaques, or similar.  This information should most certainly be around somewhere, so I strongly support listification first—this is a highly significant cultural manifestation in the UK, not an award as some editors above seem to believe.


 * X damr talk 14:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I figured out that a blue plaque should be called a "commemoration". I think the English Heritage website uses this term.  While a "commemoration" is not necessarily an award or honor, it may certainly seem like one in practice.  Dr. Submillimeter 22:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Given that they typically commemorate people who are long dead I'm not sure that it amounts to an award/honour in general terms. Still, I suppose that it is a minor point.  --  X damr  talk 02:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per Overcategorization. Category is also excessively broad, essentially undefined, and inappropriately capitalized. Doczilla 08:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - For some scientists, their religion was related to their careers for various reasons (mainly because they were priests or monks). For most scientists, however, religion has little to do with their scientific careers, even if it did play a part in their personal lives.  Also note that several science/religion categories have already been deleted (such as Category:Roman Catholic scientists (4 Jan 2007) and Category:Atheist scientists (11 Jan 2007)) for similar reasons.

 * The result of the discussion was: ''rename to Category:The Chronicles of Riddick.--Mike Selinker 17:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Riddick franchise to Category:The Chronicles of Riddick
 * Nominator's Rationale:


 * Oppose. We've been through this one before (most recently ). A DVD release in which Pitch Black is called The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black does not change its theatrical history, its listing at Box Office Mojo, its name under copyright, or its name on the DVD in my cabinet any more than something like Platinum Edition 10th Anniversary Groundhog Day changes that movie's name. Doczilla 07:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the proposed rename was rejected a month ago and there is no new or compelling evidence offered in this nomination to convince me that the decision of the last CFD was in error. Otto4711 13:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I wasn't aware of the previous discussion. However, the existence of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury strongly suggest this is the intended title of the "franchise", which incidently is a word that in this context seems strange to English ears. I still assert that the category name should be changed. Malla  nox  01:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Support - I was the one who sugggested the category for renaming a month ago as mentioned above. I too orginally felt it should be renamed to "The Chroinicles of Riddick", however only two people posted a reply. One person wanted no change because the film "is not star wars", the other suggested "Riddick franchise" as a compromise. In fact, it was the same two people who have jsut commented now. I agreed to "Riddick franchise" if no consensus was met. No one else commented so thats what happened. So I vote the categoery be renamed "The Chronicles of Riddick". For one thing,The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury do support this naming convention and another Pitch Black was renamed in all subsequent DVD releases to follow suit. If you look at the Pitch Black article, there is an offical DVD website which clearly calls the film "The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black" linked.(01:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC))
 * Support marketting from the studios have rebranded Pitch Black to match the other two entries in the Riddick trilogy, and people know it as such. 70.51.8.30 05:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename - Pitch Black is as much a Chronicles of Riddick movie as Donkey Kong is a Mario game. Cosmetor 03:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Whatever the rights and wrongs it seems to be fairly settled that the studio now wishes to rebrand Pitch Black to match with the others.  That being the case I don't see why we should decline to follow them, if for no other reason than to get rid of 'franchise'—an odd-sounding word this context.
