Category:Abandoned cities in the Faroe Islands

 * 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:Former populated places in the Faroe Islands.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Abandoned cities in the Faroe Islands to Category:Abandoned towns and villages in the Faroe Islands or Category:Abandoned villages in the Faroe Islands.
 * Nominator's rationale: There are no abandoned "cities" in the Faroe Islands. Only villages. Bobbymozza (talk) 22:20, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Rename. The note to the category states 'This category contains formerly inhabited communities of the Faroe Islands that are now only inhabited sporadically during the summer or that have been abandoned altogether.' How about Category:Former populated places in the Faroe Islands. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:49, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support provided that the introduction is rewritten to limit this to places no longer occupied. I moved out the one settlement that indicated there is a population. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. Wasn't there a "consensus" to replace all cities, villages etc. with "populated places"? even those that weren't populated for centuries? East of Borschov 20:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hence the only support is for Category:Former populated places in the Faroe Islands. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:01, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.157.222 (talk) 15:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * REname but to Category:Deserted villages in the Faroe Islands. This may be compared with the well recognised term "Deserted Medieval Villages" used by English archaeologists.  The three items listed are certainly not cities except in the US sense.  The articles are not clear if they were towns or villages, but one had a population of 130, which is not even a village where I come from.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Category:People by province in Spain - Category:Provinces of Spain

 * 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: incomplete nomination. Nothing here was tagged, so no consensus can have been reached.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Within Category:People by province in Spain and Category:Provinces of Spain the renames should be like Category:People from Badajoz (province) -> Category:People from Badajoz Province and Category:Badajoz province -> Category:Badajoz Province.
 * Nominator's rationale: Unify "X (province)" and "X province" under the most widely used format namely "X Province" compare also Category:People by first-level administrative country subdivision Argentina, Algeria, Bulgaia, Cuba, Ecuador Iran.... all use X Province. Schwyz (talk) 15:19, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Question. I'm not clear on how broad this nomination is intended to be. Are all the categories for all the provinces involved? If so, they need to be tagged for renaming and listed here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:37, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: already done. The suggested approach of making the by-country cat as a subcat seems to have already taken place.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Provinces to Category:Provinces by country
 * Nominator's rationale: Like "Districts by country" and "Municipalities by country". Still: Category:Provinces could stay and contain the not-per country content. Schwyz (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * do not rename Add subcat Category:Provinces by country which can be done at any time. This is the standard way of handling such category situations.  Hmains (talk) 02:50, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete all. Courcelles 01:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * australian schoolboy players


 * australian schoolboy rugby union players


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Playing for a national schoolboy side is not a defining characteristic, everyone here has achieved notability by playing at the professional level of the game, per WP:ATHLETE. Tassedethe (talk) 10:51, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Bleach categories

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. All work group categories seem to be unlabeled with "Wikipedia" or "WikiProject," and while I agree that seems out of character for such articles, they are consistent in this approach. A larger nomination would be needed to address this.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:38, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * wikiproject bleach participants


 * wikiproject bleach


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. This is a defunct project and has been tagged for several months, so these categories should be deleted. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:14, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Rename Category:WikiProject Bleach participants to Category:Bleach work group participants and Category:WikiProject Bleach to Category:Bleach work group. The Bleach WP was absorbed as a work group of WP:ANIME some time ago. While the work group may be currently inactive, that is not a good reason to delete these two categories or any other category related to BWG because the work group may become active again in the future. —Farix (t &#124; c) 18:05, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see now, TheFarix. I will keep that in mind. So, rather than delete these categories outright for the wrong reasons as what I originally intended, I withdraw my deletion vote and change it to a Rename. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment it should still say wikiproject or wikipedia to separate it from encyclopedic categorizations, if it isn't deleted. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 23:35, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * These are work group categories. And so far, I have not seen a work group category pre-pended with either Wikipedia or WikiProject. You look at the WP:MILHIST's task force categories, you will see that they are not pre-pended by Wikipedia or WikiProject. —Farix (t &#124; c) 12:35, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I have objected to this is the past and think that leaving these in the main category name space is a mistake. They should be in the WikiProject: section.  I fail to see why the current consensus needs to exist. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no "Wikipedia" or "WikiProject" section to category space. —Farix (t &#124; c) 21:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, they do usually have a name that begins with Wikipedia:WikiProject. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:19, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:29, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Big Boy to Category:Big Boy (restaurant)
 * Nominator's rationale: For clarification, and to match parent article Big Boy (restaurant). Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:25, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Rename to match title of parent article. Alansohn (talk) 22:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
