 * The result of the discussion was: delete (category was empty at closing, BTW). Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:56, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * black sea western basins


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Imprecise and under-populated category adequately covered by other categories. Mhockey (talk) 11:22, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete – according to Google this had 1 subcat Category:Danube basin and no top-level articles, and thus was serving no great purpose. Category:Black sea basins should be Category:Black Sea basins while we are here (as sea basins have no associated colour to my knowledge). Occuli (talk) 11:36, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Occuli. This is overcat.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:26, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Middle Atlantic Corporation to Category:Middle Atlantic Conferences

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. However, I agree this is marketing fluff, and if the article is merged, this should follow.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Power centers to Category:Power centers (retail)
 * Nominator's rationale: To match parent article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 04:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * comment. Neither the article, nor the category can convince me that "power center" is a valid, neutral term and not a marketing gimmick. Phrases like "adding big-box stores, category killers and strip malls to the parking and open areas, rather than to add anchors and new retail space to the existing mall facility" sound suspicious, to say the least. Books on the subject like don't convince either. "Power centers are not mall developments but are designed so that the customer may park near the destination store". Huh? When I shop at the mall I park near the destination store. Does this choice made by yours truly make this mall a "power center"? How come it's owners never said the magic word? Perhaps because it's space is three times the meagre limit of 1 mil sq. ft. quoted in ? But it's just a shopping mall. 1 mil sq. ft. is just right for a food store. I'd rather merge all this "power" to category:Shopping malls. East of Borschov 08:28, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The main article is subject to a merge nomination. If kept that article needs to be tagged "globalise".  Certainly we do not use the term in UK.  I would expect a power cetnre to be an electrical store.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:32, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename – in the UK these are retail parks; a shopping centre or mall is a different thing. I would dispute the subcatting of Category:Power centers - they are not shopping malls. (In Sheffield there is Meadowhall Centre, a shopping centre (not a retail park: it is entirely covered and has dozens of shops from small to large), and, close by, Meadowhall Retail Park (not a mall: not covered, no small retailers, 5 or 6 large national chain stores). Occuli (talk) 11:01, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. The main article most likely will not be merged as there is no consensus. Beagel (talk) 07:52, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Volkswagen to Category:Volkswagen Group
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Rename to match main article. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:44, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * rename for the outstanding reason mentioned by the nominator: main article name is confirmed. Hmains (talk) 18:08, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. —  ξ xplicit  21:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

x-ray instrumentation
 * Rename to Category:X-ray based equipment. I'm puzzled by the name that was selected for this category -- a slightly odd choice of words I'd say, given what's in it. I think the name I'm proposing better captures the contents of the category, but I'm open to other suggestions. The category creator's last edit was nearly one year ago, so not notified. Cgingold (talk) 01:24, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment the proposed name would appear to expand the scope of the category, as several X-ray equipment articles are categorized into the parent, and not this category. 74.216.194.130 (talk) 02:54, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose rename. The contents of this category are all scientific instruments or parts of scientific instruments. "equipment" is too vague and as the above IP says some X-ray equipment is in the parent category. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  01:31, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * keep as is. Instrumentation is more specific than equipment and the category contents are instruments.  I added a missing parent: Category:Measuring instruments for clarity. Hmains (talk) 02:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Though I'm curious if instruments would be better than instrumentation (due to the new parent)? Or perhaps not? - jc37 20:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
