Category:Art Documentary Film

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an 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 discussion was: Rename to Category:Documentaries about the visual arts.  --  X damr  talk 03:16, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * art documentary film


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete User:Chendy also created this category, mis-named and unnecessary in light of the existing Category:Documentaries about visual artists and his new and also mis-named parent category Category:Documentary film about the arts, which I'll be taking to WP:CFDS for a speedy rename. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Admin note: Category:Documentary film about the arts now renamed to Category:Documentary films about the arts. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename actually there is a gap here. The other category is only for films about artISTS; neither film not tv has an "art" category, so eg the Civilisation (TV series) (by Kenneth Clark) cannot currently be categorized in any other art category. Since the documentary tree allows both film & tv, rename this to Category:Documentaries about visual art - the parent seems split on whether or not to say "d.. films".  There are plenty of other tv ones at least that can go in; I've added a few. Johnbod (talk) 23:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Documentaries about visual art as a far better description of the contents of this defining category. Alansohn (talk) 15:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Question - should this be "about the visual arts" rather than "about visual art"? Otto4711 (talk) 04:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Documentaries about advertising

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an 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 discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 03:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * documentaries about advertising


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete I don't want to be dismissive of potential overpopulation problems in Category:Documentaries by topic in my other CfD today, particularly after adding so many subcats myself. To that end, I recommend deleting this category until such time as other articles about documentary films on advertising are created or found. This category created in 2007 has but one article: Czech Dream (which one could argue isn't really about the advertising business at all, documenting a hoax by the filmmakers for a school project). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ho hum I'm sure they are out there - Doug Pray's 2009 "Art & Copy" will no doubt get an entry one day. Shouldn't it be upmerge, at least one way? Johnbod (talk) 10:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Mega Man Legends games

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an 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 discussion was: Merge Category:Mega Man Legends games to Category:Mega Man Legends.  --  X damr  talk 03:18, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Suggest merging Category:Mega Man Legends games to Category:Mega Man Legends
 * Nominator's rationale: There is no need for a category to hold only three games, especially when the main category only has a single article. TTN (talk) 17:13, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Certain locations impacted by urban decay

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an 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 discussion was: Deleted and (re)creator indef'd by Ohnoitsjamie. DMacks (talk) 18:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * certain locations impacted by urban decay


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. "Certain" demonstrates that it's cherry-picked or editors'-choice rather than objective and (intended to be) comprehensive article collection. I could maybe see a Category:Areas impacted by urban decay being a better approach (and placing as subcat of the existing Category:Urban decay) if we were to have a clear-cut inclusion criterion. DMacks (talk) 16:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - vague and subjective inclusion criteria. Any state or country that has a decayed urban area is "impacted" by urban decay in terms of economic impact, migration of urban residents, etc. If kept, rename to Category:Locations affected by urban decay because "impact" is not a verb. Otto4711 (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete See Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive200, same user, same locations. Sswonk (talk) 16:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Documentary films about society

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an 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 discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 23:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * documentary films about society


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. An editor apparently felt the parent was overpopulated, and so moved 13 categories to this new grouping, without discussion. This had the unfortunate result of making the these 13 topic categories that much harder to find, as the criteria for what constitutes a "documentary film about society" are completely undefined and subject to WP:OC. For example, Category:Documentary films about drugs are classified by the category creator as documentaries about "society," whereas Category:Political documentaries and Category:Documentaries about religion are not, appearing to exist outside the social realm, the logic of which escapes me. We shouldn't have this category for the same reason we don't have a Category:Media about society tree: it's ill-defined, subjective and doesn't aid navigation, unlike the two other categories User:Chendy created, grouping arts and science docs, which do help.    Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. There are no films listed directly in this category, just subcategories of Category:Documentaries by topic. Upon deletion of this category, please make sure that all of the subcategories currently listed here continue to be listed in Category:Documentaries by topic. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:20, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I had restored Category:Documentaries by topic to the 13 categories in question, so strongly did I feel that they were, well, unfindable if categorized only in Category:Documentary films about society. It was also why I changed this CfD from an upmerge to a delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:08, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * All the ones moved are listed under D in Documentaries by type. At some point this should be changed. Cjc13 (talk) 21:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I used Hotcat to restore them. I promise I will get to that asap. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:52, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Some use of subcategories could be made but this one is too vague to work. Cjc13 (talk) 21:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I would have said upmerge if not assured that they were restored to the parent already. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Much too vague. Johnbod (talk) 04:45, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an 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 discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 23:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * albums produced by laylaw


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Laylaw is a non-notable, unknown hip hop producer whose article was deleted. Karppinen (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nominator. BTW, the article has been created again. Sigh... Debresser (talk) 16:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 23:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * ann hui


 * Nominator's rationale: Uneeded eponyomous category, per WP:OCAT.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - small eponymous category. Otto4711 (talk) 14:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Debresser (talk) 16:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No need for the eponymous category, when every article is conveniently categorized under Films directed by Ann Hui. Jafeluv (talk) 12:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 23:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * recipients of the thomas merton award


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete - award presented by a local-level center, does not appear to be of the level of prestige contemplated by WP:OC. A list already exists in the award article. Otto4711 (talk) 03:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete -- The usual solution to awards categories is "listify and delete", but we already have the list in the main article. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:45, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Debresser (talk) 16:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 23:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * skanska


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. OCAT. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete -- the category consists of an article on the eponymous company and on a stub on a company that it acquired. Thus unnecessary.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unnecessary category, since there are only two Skanska articles. Jafeluv (talk) 12:54, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete.  --  X damr  talk 23:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * metropcs


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Another single entry category that is OCAT at this time. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Eponymous category, seems unlikely to get populated at this time. —  Σ  xplicit 19:20, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Small category, and unlikely to grow to a useful size. Jafeluv (talk) 12:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

 * cricket communications


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Single entry category that at this time is clearly OCAT. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:18, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete -- as nom. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:50, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
