Category:US Volcanic fields West of 109°W

 * Propose merging Category:US Volcanic fields West of 109°W to by state categories
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge to the by state category. By state is the established breakout in the US. There is nothing in the category introduction that would indicate why 109 West is notable for this activity.  If kept, rename to Category:Volcanic fields of the United States west of 109°W. Note that in effect this covers all of the US since if you continue west from 109W, you reach it from the east. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:51, 11 November 201--Chris.urs-o (talk) 08:17, 22 November 2010 (UTC)0 (UTC)


 * Comment. West of 109°W is all volcanic activity of the last 100 Ma, and Western United States lies West of 109°W too. It is mainly the Basin and Range Province and its Mid-Tertiary ignimbrite flare-up. Between Category:Volcanism of the United States and the by state categories, it'd be wiser to have a Category:Volcanic fields of the Western United States. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 00:20, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Support renaming Category:US Volcanic fields West of 109°W to Category:Volcanic fields of the Western United States, to expedite readers' access to articles at regional scale, via parent Category:Western United States.--- Look2See1  t a l k →  17:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Note that the 109 line runs through extreme western Colorado and New Mexico as I understand it. Both of these are in the Western United States so renaming would include more area.  Don't know if this is an issue or not. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Is 109°W significant as an existing geologic region boundary? User talk:Chris.urs-o chose it when creating the cat. If not based scientifically I support rename to Category:Volcanic fields of the Western United States.--- Look2See1  t a l k →  01:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Western United States is ok, the volcanism on eastern USA is from the Pangaea break up and older. The Davis Mountains are in Texas, the Basin and Range Province includes Texas and Mexico, and I thought that I got whole Colorado with 109°W (my mistake). Normaly State lines and rivers flow through geologic faults and boundaries. So I think the compromise is ok. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 08:17, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * city creek center


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Contains only logos related to the City Creek Center shopping mall development in Salt Lake City. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Category:Government-owned companies of Portugal to Category:Government-owned companies in Portugal
 * Category:Swedish government enterprises to Category:Government-owned companies in Sweden
 * Category:State enterprises of Thailand to Category:Government-owned companies in Thailand
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. i propose renaming these categories for consistency with the other entries of Category:Government-owned companies by country. meco (talk) 19:13, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: At least for New Zealand, "state-owned enterprise" seems to be the official term. Jafeluv (talk) 08:06, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think a common, generic, descriptive term should be applied to all categories even though some countries may have English names that differ from this. In the case which you bring up, the use of the term state will become confusing if applied as you suggest if other countries, such as Brazil and the US which which have "states" as subordinate entities below the federal government, are classified also per that subordinate level. __meco (talk) 08:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Quasi-public entities in the United States to Category:
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. I understand the need for a category which covers companies that are partly controlled by the government, however, this name doesn't sit well with me. And as this is a type of category that would be relevant for many countries I think a name that could travel around such a structure needs a little thinking about. meco (talk) 18:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Perhaps something to do with Category:Public–private partnership would be appropriate. __meco (talk) 19:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. I believe that in the U.S. this is the most commonly used term for these; it's certainly not a WP-created neologism. "Quasi-public entity" and "quasi-public entities" both get thousands of hits on google. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment --If Quasi-public is the US term we should Keep it for US entities, even if it is not the term used elsewhere. This should not mean that that we must rename similar categories for other countries that use other terminology.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

 * battery electric vehicle components


 * Nominator's rationale: Some of the contents of this category do not match the title and those that do are best served by an article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dana boomer (talk) 13:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * keep and cleanup. A category is a perfectly fine way of organizing this material for navigation, the purpose of categories, regardless of any article that anyone may choose to write. Hmains (talk) 02:52, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Some months ago, we had an editor who created vast number of categories for "green" energy, transport, etc. Is this another of his SPAM categories?  I observe that some one has removed wire from this category (and rightly).  Many of the items listed here can be components of a wide range of electrical equipemnt, so why delect out those needed for battery operated vehicles?  If kept, irrlevant and mundane items should be removed.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete as nominated. At least half of the articles are for components used in a wide range of applications, and the few survivors could be moved into the parent category. Mangoe (talk) 22:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep This is a tough one for me. Yes, I think it has all the hallmarks of a nonsensical Mac/Nopetro green energy OC violation. Yes, much of the category contents do not belong here, as they are not battery electric vehicle components. And when you take those away, there's not a whole lot left. However, the nominated category seems to be a reasonable sub-cat of Category:Vehicle parts and Category:Battery electric vehicles, and as such, permitted under WP:OC. But as Peter says, needs clean up. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Removed my weak keep -- the deletion supporters make compelling cases. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Examination of Category:Vehicle parts shows that it is highly problematic, with many of the articles tagged for notability issues and others not specifically relevant to vehicles. Mangoe (talk) 03:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not defining and if we add this category for battery pack, we also need to add that to Category:Flashlights.  These components are for the most part used in other places and it is not generally defining there either.  For the really unique components, they are already spelled out in the various articles.

 * 2010 in california
 * 2010 in texas
 * Nominator's rationale: Delete both. Possible categories, but the only member in either category (2010 World Series) doesn't belong in either, meaning the categories should be empty. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 09:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not just depopulate and tag as db-c1? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't want to be accused of depopulating a category before requesting deletion; I've removed one or two articles from a category before, but this time there was only one. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete but ensure first that 2010 World Series  is in Category:2010 in American sports (or a subcat). Category:2009 in the United States has no 'by state' scheme; 2009 World Series is in Category:2009 Major League Baseball season but not in any '2009 in the US' category (should be fixed IMO). Occuli (talk) 14:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Does Category:2010 Major League Baseball season count? I guess not.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It would count if it were given a parent within Category:2010 in American sports (which doesn't seem to include any baseball). Occuli (talk) 23:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm sure this is a viable hierarchy, however, when it is to be created, this should be done in a more emphatic manner which shows some dedication to the task, possibly involving the concerned WikiProjects. I think the input of the creator of these categories could be useful as well. __meco (talk) 18:13, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:R&B and soul musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Category:Musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Category:American rhythm and blues musicians and Category:American soul musicians
 * Nominator's rationale: 1) R&B (genre), 2) soul (genre), 3) musicians (occupation), 4) Pennsylvania (state), 5) Philadelphia (city). Overcategorization, or, more accurately, complete overkill. There's need to narrow down categories this much. — ξ xplicit  05:50, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Merge as overcategorization. This would have to be done manually to separate the R&B and soul people, no? Hekerui (talk) 14:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, and I'll take care of that should the nomination succeed. — ξ xplicit  20:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Definite overkill. That said, there might be some utility to a category specifically for Philadelphia soul musicians, but that's a genre which includes some musicians who aren't from Philadelphia and excludes some who are, so it's not identical to this set as defined here.

 * Propose merging Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States Region 3 to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
 * Propose merging Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States Region 4 to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Parent category is not overly populated. While there are 4 NRC regions, are they of navigational importance for the average reader?  Navigation would be better served by keeping all of these in one category.  Note that one region covers about 70% of the area of the US. If we need to split the parent later, we can do so by state.  Also note that the other subcategories are not split out by region.  Vegaswikian (talk) 08:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge as proposed. A good idea to remove clasification by NRC region. But generally all US Power Stations should be classified by state which would be a subcategory of “Energy facilities in State X”. At the moment Hydro plants are; plus Coal stations and Wind farms for some states only. For the other states they are also directly listed under "Energy facilities etc. Hugo999 (talk) 10:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

The main article should be renamed too imo, but anyway extra clarity is needed in a category name.

 * george washington slept here


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. We definitely do not want to start categorizing places by notable people who slept there, or ate there, or peed there, or whatever. It's typically an interesting factoid about a place, but is not generally defining for the places. And you know, many notable people have slept in an awful lot of different places. Can you imagine the category clutter on certain ritzy hotels! Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. George Washington is a unique character in American history and where he slept is also a unique cultural reference. Having a list of places where he slept would be valuable. Whoisjohngalt (talk) 16:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It may be true that having a list of places he slept would be valuable, but if so shouldn't this be accomplished via a list article? Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Baylor University basketball venues to Category:Baylor Bears and Lady Bears basketball venues
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Matching parent categories like Category:Central Missouri Mules and Jennies and Category:Tennessee Volunteers and Lady Vols. UNLV is an odd case, in that the overall sports program is called the UNLV Rebels (see Category:UNLV Rebels), but only in the two basketball programs is an adjective applied to each team name. So maybe the second choice is appropriate.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Update: Added Baylor.--Mike Selinker (talk) 16:29, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Signers of Historical Documents to Category:Signatories by document
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Duplicate categories. Suggest merging to older and correctly capitalized one. I also believe "signatories" is a little more formal and proper than "signers". Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Student quarters. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:48, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * student ghettos


 * Nominator's rationale: This category is arbitrary and not appropriate for an encyclopedia. I'm a long term resident of one of the areas placed in the category (which is how I came across it at the foot of the page I was reading). I don't consider the area a "student ghetto" and find the association pretty obnoxious. Having categories allowing people to haphazardly claim an area is a "ghetto" just isn't clever. Sharkeven (talk) 01:54, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Note: previous "no consensus" discussion, where there were several proposals for alternate names. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:24, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * rename to Category:Student quarters to match main article; it is neutral name Hmains (talk) 04:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Student quarters. This shouldn't close as no consensus again, regardless of the comments. We can't let an awful name like that stand.--Mike Selinker (talk) 07:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Student quarters. Neither name is quite right for the UK but 'quarters' is a great improvement over 'ghettos'. Occuli (talk) 23:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Student quarters per main article. Cjc13 (talk) 12:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:University of Arkansas basketball venues to Category:Arkansas Razorbacks basketball venues
 * Propose renaming Category:University of Arkansas basketball to Category:Arkansas Razorbacks basketball
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per the Furman and Ole Miss nominations from yesterday, Arkansas no longer seems to use the name "Ladybacks" for the women's teams. Examples are here and here.--Mike Selinker (talk) 00:14, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
