 * Category:Swiss of Slovak descent to Category:Swiss people of Slovak descent

 * Support nom Mayumashu (talk) 02:57, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Close per WP:SNOW and the functional withdrawal of the nomination by the nominator. NAC. Otto4711 (talk) 02:07, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Mountain biking venues to Category:Mountain biking venues and trails
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. There exist places called 'venues' meant for mountain biking. There also exist 'trails' that goes from place A to B. Kslotte (talk) 21:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - this and several of the others nominated below were discussed less than a month ago. Otto4711 (talk) 22:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't had the chance to give a comment on the thoughts and the decisions back then. Now I'm watching this page and can give you reasons for the namings. Note, that naming changes are not exactly the same as the earlier ones. --Kslotte (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - the recent cfd came to exactly the opposite conclusion. Occuli (talk) 00:23, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - a venue is a 'place' which includes a trail.Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Mountain biking in Australia to Category:Mountain biking venues and trails in Australia
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Same reasons as for 'Mountain biking venues and trails' . Kslotte (talk) 21:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep (or, better, rename as below) – same rationale as a few weeks ago. Occuli (talk) 00:26, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - ditto. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment So, renaming it to Category:Mountain biking venues in Australia would be OK? --Kslotte (talk) 11:51, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK by me - it would seem reasonable for everything in Category:Mountain biking venues to be of the form 'Mountain biking venues in Foo'. Occuli (talk) 21:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose Rename to reflect content of category. Alansohn (talk) 00:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Mountain biking resorts, venues and trails in the United States to Category:Mountain biking venues and trails in the United States
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Same reasons as for 'Mountain biking venues and trails'. Kslotte (talk) 21:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Mountain biking venues in the United States. Shorter = simpler = better. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I support this suggestion. --Kslotte (talk) 11:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Mountain biking venues in the United States to match the form of the parent Category:Mountain biking venues. 96.54.48.237 (talk) 16:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Same reasons as for 'Mountain biking venues and trails'. Kslotte (talk) 21:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per the decision of 21 Aug. Occuli (talk) 00:30, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - a venue is a 'place' which includes a trail.Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:47, 8 September 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: Rename Category:Mountain bike races and events in the United Kingdom to Category:Mountain biking events in the United Kingdom.  --  X damr  talk 18:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Mountain bike races and events in the United Kingdom to Category:Mountain biking races and events in the United Kingdom
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Having the same naming conventions for all categories in Category:Mountain biking races and events. Additionally naming need both 'races' and 'events', since different type MTB disciplines have different naming (Freeride and Bike trials events; but for example 24 hour mountain bike races is a race). Kslotte (talk) 21:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Some thoughts ... maybe making it more simple and remove the word 'races' and have it only as Category:Mountain biking events and all sub-categories named the same way. --Kslotte (talk) 23:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Mountain biking events in the United Kingdom. Keep things simple. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I support this suggestion. --Kslotte (talk) 11:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Merge Category:Coatbridge Irish to Category:People from Coatbridge and Category:Scots of Irish descent.  --  X damr  talk 19:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * coatbridge irish


 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to Category:People from Coatbridge and Category:Scots of Irish descent, as suggested at Categories for discussion/Log/2009 August 29. Fayenatic (talk) 20:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- I thought that is what was decided in previous CFD, but that actually related to a mis-capitalised version of the present one. It is a pity that this was nmot dealt with at the same time.  Peterkingiron (talk) 12:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:Military personnel killed in action

 * 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: No Consensus.  --  X damr  talk 19:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Military personnel killed in action to TO BE DETERMINED
 * Nominator's rationale: The title is misleading as the category's description indicates that it includes not only military personnel killed in action but also those who died of wounds sustained during combat. Moreover, it seems unnecessary to categorize separately those who died on the battlefield versus those who died from wounds sustained in battle after reaching a medical facility. Perhaps a more accurate title would be Category:Military personnel killed in combat...? A second issue to consider is whether to include personnel who died of non-combat causes, such as disease, while participating in a war. (WikiProject Military history notified using cfd-notify.) –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 20:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * "Killed in combat" wouldn't cover post-combat death of wounds either, I think. Something very broad like "military personnel killed in wartime" might work, but then we'd need to consider whether we want to include or exclude edge cases like commanders assassinated (outside of actual combat) during wartime, soldiers executed by a court-martial, and so forth. Kirill [talk] [pf] 21:44, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Category:Military personnel with combat-related deaths maybe? The "with" is kind of an odd construction but does the rest of the suggestion move us closer? Otto4711 (talk) 07:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Casualty would be better as it covers those who died of illness etc. Casualty is used by Commonwealth War Graves Commission. ? Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC) Sorry, I withdraw that - I should have read the description in the category. The cat covers those who died in action, or of wounds from action. That means it disregards those who died of illness. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Those who died of disease certainly do not count as KIA. The US uses this term, and I would suggest that the category should follow the definition given in the first paragraph of killed in action.  This covers both those killed literally on the battlefield, and also those who subsequently die of their wounds.  It would thus exclude the large number of British troops who died of disease on the Boer War and deaths from malaria in the Burmese campaigns of WWII.  KIA is the recognised term. Though "killed due to combat" might be more accurate, I think we should stick with what we have.  We may need a sister category for those who died of disease on campaign.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Rename to match title of parent article Killed in action. Alansohn (talk) 01:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Hank Williams Sr. albums to Category:Hank Williams albums.  --  X damr  talk 18:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Hank Williams Sr. albums to Category:Hank Williams albums
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the article name Hank Williams. Tassedethe (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename per nominator. Debresser (talk) 12:38, 8 September 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 19:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * college houses of the university of chicago


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Redundant category. Simply put, no college house of the University of Chicago has its own article, and so there is no need for this category. Every single page in this category is either a redirect to a Category: Residence halls of the University of Chicago or a residence hall with only one house. &mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 14:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete – most of the redirects should be deleted as well, as there is no mention of them in the articles to which they redirect. Occuli (talk) 14:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * question I find residence halls that have a single college house; I find halls that have multiple college houses Burton-Judson Courts. Does this match the nomination assertions? Hmains (talk) 20:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup. The only houses that (kind of) have their own articles are those of the single-house dorms, for which the article is really on the dorm, not the house community. &mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 21:21, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:Guayaquil (canton seat)

 * 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 Category:Guayaquil (canton seat) to Category:Guayaquil.  --  X damr  talk 18:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Guayaquil (canton seat) to Category:Guayaquil (city)
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. It was not immediately obvious to me how this differed from Category:Guayaquil (canton). New name would be clearer English. Tassedethe (talk) 13:17, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Guayaquil to match title of parent article. Alansohn (talk) 01:50, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:Greeks in Serbia

 * 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 Category:Greeks in Serbia to Category:Serbian people of Greek descent.  --  X damr  talk 19:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Greeks in Serbia to Category:Serbians of Greek descent
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. This could also refer to Category:Greek expatriates in Serbia, so rename to a less ambiguous title to match current contents. Tassedethe (talk) 12:02, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Object -- It is quite possible that many of those involved are of ethnic and lingistic Greeks without them or any ancestors having lived in Greece for many hundreds of years. This is a common phenomenon in the former Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe generally.  In some parts of Eastern Europe people migrated to their ethnic land at the end of WWII and the Turks of Greece and Greeks of Turkey were exchanged in the 1920s, but that did not happen elsewhere.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. The sole person linked is a citizen of Serbia of ethnic Greek ancestry. These pages (Category:People by ethnic or national origin) typically allow both for ethnic or national descent or origin.  An explanation on the page to this affect, however, should be provided for clarity Mayumashu (talk) 03:02, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If renamed, rename to , to match and . Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:11, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed Mayumashu (talk) 03:40, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * As nominator I agree that Category:Serbian people of Greek descent is better. Tassedethe (talk) 13:23, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Rename to reflect content of category. Alansohn (talk) 01:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Category:Bahamian directors

 * 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 Category:Bahamian directors to Category:Bahamian film directors.  --  X damr  talk 18:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Bahamian directors to Category:Bahamian film directors
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. The current title is ambiguous, although the inclusion criteria state it is for "theatre directors". However the only entry is a Bahamian film director, so suggest renaming the category and altering the criteria. Category:Bahamian theatre directors can be created if needed. Tassedethe (talk) 11:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename As only article in the category is for a film director, I've changed the master category to Category:Film directors by nationality and altered the description. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:53, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Great Northern Railway locomotives to Category:Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) locomotives
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match top category Category:Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) and to disambiguate from Category:Great Northern Railway (Ireland) locomotives. Tassedethe (talk) 10:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * There was a U.S. Great Northern, too. Which I see you've nominated for speedy renaming: Category:Great Northern Railway (US) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:57, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Suggest merging Category:Lithuanian graphics to Category:Lithuanian graphic designers
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Only content is a bio of a Lithuanian graphic designer, current title suggest "Graphic designs from Lithuania" or similar. Tassedethe (talk) 09:37, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Journalists killed while covering the war in Afghanistan to Category:Journalists killed while covering the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Nominator's rationale: The category description claims that the category "covers the Afghan Civil War, the Soviet war in Afghanistan and the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)", but we should not mix categories for different military conflicts. In any case, all of the journalists in this category were killed in late 2001 or thereafter, so they all died while covering the War in Afghanistan (2001–present).

 * Propose renaming Category:Military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:American military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:American military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:American military personnel killed in the War in Afghanistan to Category:American military personnel killed in the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:Australian military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Austrlian military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:British military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:British military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:British Army personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:British Army personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:British military personnel killed in the Afghanistan War to Category:British military personnel killed in the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:Canadian military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Canadian military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:Dutch military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Dutch military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Category:New Zealand military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:New Zealand military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
 * Nominator's rationale: For consistency with the parent category, Category:War in Afghanistan (2001–present), and in order to clarify to which Afghanistan War (see War in Afghanistan) the categories are about. Note that my proposal does not involve using an en dash after "2001", even though the parent category does include an en dash, since past CfD discussions suggest that there is no consensus to use en dashes in category titles instead of regular dashes; see related CfD 2009 Aug 28 and related discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 00:11, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

While the second definition is not quite as broad, it still would be too encompassing as it would include basically any armed confrontation (violent and non-violent) that takes place outside the context of a declared war or in which both sides are not formal militaries. So, it would include: riots, protests (even if protesters are unarmed, the police often are armed), law enforcement raids, shootouts between law enforcement and criminal elements, gang shootings, massacres of civilians, internal conflict that does not rise the to level of war (such as low-level insurgency), hostage crises, domestic disputes involving weapons, armed robberies, gunfights, armed repression by a state's security forces, and a host of other events whose only similarity is that they involved weapons outside the context of a war.

 * nonwar armed confrontations
 * Nominator's rationale: The scope of this category is much too broad for it to be a viable grouping. A "nonwar armed confrontation" could be understood to refer to "an armed confrontation other than a war"—a definition which would encompass even events that take place in the context of a war, such as individual battles—or "an armed confrontation outside the context of a war".

Of the articles remaining in the category (those that were removed were mainly about American Old West gunfights, pogroms, massacres, and sieges by law enforcement), at least three can be described as shootouts involving law enforcement: 1986 FBI Miami shootout, Norco shootout, and North Hollywood shootout. The Asama-Sansō incident was a hostage crisis and police siege (already in Category:Hostage taking), the Siege of Lal Masjid was an internal military operation (already in Category:Operations involving Pakistani special forces), the Tutt-Everett War was a long-running feud, and I'm not sure how to classify the Yasilova incident. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 02:14, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete (was Comment): I think {subst:cfr-speedy|new name} would be appropriate to new name "Law enforcement actions." Those which are not can be moved in appropriate categories, if they are not already, like riots, pogroms and massacres. Many of them are such actions and I don't see a relevant category. If there is one, do tell. CarolMooreDC (talk) 01:03, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There is Category:Law enforcement operations, but many of the articles in the category are not about law enforcement actions. Even of those that involve law enforcement, such as Norco shootout and North Hollywood shootout, many are essentially just shootouts instead of planned actions. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 02:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think the current category as is is much too vague and ill-defined. I think I'd prefer to see Category:Shootouts, Category:Police shootouts or some such as a sub-category to Category:Law enforcement operations, the appropriate crime category as well as Category:Conflicts, with the category contents that don't fit in shootouts upmerged, until such time as new confrontational categories are created. I could be convinced otherwise, though. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment -- This is an thoroughly unsatisfactory category. The Malayan Emergency of the 1950s was technically not a war, because the British government did not to pay war wages to its soldiers, but would come in this category.  What we have is a mixture of shootouts pogroms (massacres), etc. etc.  This category covers a multitude of conflicts, and if fully populated would need to be split.  So why not split it at once and then delete what remains?  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I see above category like I suggested exists. And there is a Category:Guerrilla wars for Malayan Emergency. Other relevant categories are Category:Military operations Category:Military operations by type for things like 2009 refugee crisis in Pakistan. Also there is a Template:Infobox civilian attack, so why not a Category:civilian attack?? Let's put things that obviously belong in better categories in them (or just remove this one where already specfically categorized, as I am doing now) and then see what's left. CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:50, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that a category for attacks on civilians, which is what Template:Infobox civilian attack covers, would be too broad, since it would mix together terrorist attacks, criminal attacks, attacks during wartime, and so on.
 * Good analysis. Tutt-Everett already under Category:Rivalry, which equals feud :-) If no one else wants fun of doing last four I'll do soon. CarolMooreDC (talk) 03:43, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete this cat is nonsensical. Some of the articles are about crimes one of the articles (Soapy Smith) didn't belong as the events took place during the Spanish - American War. L0b0t (talk) 14:15, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
