 * people involved in the soviet war in afghanistan
 * Rename to Category:People of the Soviet-Afghan War, convention of Category:People by war. -- Prove It (talk) 23:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Rename, shortened name is better. Hydrogen Iodide (HI!) 17:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The convention of Category:People by war actually appears to be "People of [main article name]", and in this case the main article is Soviet war in Afghanistan. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * ... and the parent category is Category:Soviet war in Afghanistan. The main article and the two categories should follow the same format. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: cfdnotice placed at Soviet war in Afghanistan. --08:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs)
 * Oppose. The name "Soviet war in Afghanistan" is considered the most NPOV version. Using another name would just invite more controversy, not worth it just to shorten the category name. --Raoulduke47 12:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename all. Kbdank71 13:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Category:Australian black metal
 * Category:Austrian black metal

 * Category:Polish black metal
 * Category:Swedish black metal
 * Category:Swiss black metal
 * Category:Taiwanese black metal
 * Category:Turkish black metal
 * Category:Ukrainian black metal


 * Nominator's rationale:Rename them all to include the words "musical groups" at the end of the category name, as per Category:American black metal musical groups. Note that some albums are included in these sub-cats, when it's band specific. Lugnuts 18:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Given that, as you say, some albums are included, it's not really accurate to describe the categories as "X black metal musical groups". Either rename all - and the American one - to or rename as above and move the albums to more appropriate categories. Grutness...wha?  22:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep, or compare the sub-cats in Category:Death metal musical groups for what I think these sub-cats should be worded as. Lugnuts 09:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * later punk groups


 * Nominator's rationale:


 * Comment - There is Category:Early punk groups which defines as "formed in the 1970s or earlier". Certainly there's informal use of these terms in conversation, but I'm not sure what the best way to split up the otherwise very large Category:Punk rock groups would be. Maybe by decade of formation? --lquilter 17:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment - we have in general treated participants in reality television series differently from actors in series. The reasoning behind de-categorizing actors by series is that they tended to include any actor who appeared in a single episode of any given series, leading to massive category clutter on prolific guests. In the case of reality TV series, though, the participant in the vast majority of cases is only going to have appeared in one such series. Otto4711 14:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
