Images of downtown Jeffersonville

 * 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 to  Category:Images of Jeffersonville, Indiana. As BlackFalcon points out, this merge creates a category with only 43 images. Should it get substantially more content, then we can consider this again.--Mike Selinker (talk) 11:43, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Images of downtown Jeffersonville to Category:Images of Downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana or Category:Images of Downtown Jeffersonville
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Capitalization needed, state name is optional in this case, but still preferred. DanTD (talk) 22:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Images of downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana. There is no need to capitalize as "Downtown Jeffersonville" is a general area, not a formally recognized district— there is not even a Downtown Jeffersonville article (nor for Downtown Spring Street Historical District). But Jeffersonville is ambiguous, so the full name of the town is in order.- choster (talk) 23:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and move the images to commons. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:07, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Do you still think you can do that Vegaswikian? Because I'm still having a hard time moving all the images from Porter County, Indiana to the commons. First because I found more of them, and second because whoever is in charge of deleting duplicates seems to be taking their time doing so. Apparently there's more of a backlog of duplicates of images in the commons than anybody expects. DanTD (talk) 04:25, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that there is a backlog is not a reason to not take the correct action. Which images need deleting?  I'll look and see what I can do. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Fine. I don't know of any images in Jeffersonville, Indiana(Downtown or otherwise) that have duplicates in the commons, but the ones for Porter County, Indiana are File:Beverly Shores Station with marker P4080034.jpg, File:St Marys Catholic Church Kouts.jpg, and in Valparaiso, File:Memorial Opera HseP4100023.jpg. I was able to get some of them in, but these three continue to linger for some reason. Also, for the record, I never said deleting the category is somehow not the correct action. I just said it's taking a lot longer to do so. My offer from the discussion on Category:Images of Porter County, Indiana still stands. If you can get them all into the commons, and delete the non-commons versions, I'm perfectly okay with deleting the categories. DanTD (talk) 20:59, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Slightly OT, if it's not too much trouble, there are also some duplicate images from Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, and Orange Counties in New York that could be deleted too. DanTD (talk) 22:07, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I tired to use the assist tool to move these but it does not appear to work for me. If you can move them, I can delete the duplicates. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:25, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know what assist tool gets rid of duplicates. I already moved the three I mentioned to the commons, plus there are those that are in the New York categories, which I didn't specify that I've moved as well. Starting now, though, while I may tag more images for the commons, I'm not adding them there, until the others are deleted. DanTD (talk) 05:44, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Category:Images of Jeffersonville, Indiana. If downtown Jeffersonville indeed is a "general area, not a formally recognized district" (choster; 23:51, 11 February 2011), then we should not have a category for an area whose boundaries are not formally established. In addition, we do not have enough content (articles or media) about Jeffersonville to necessitate this type of split; for instance, merging the categories will result in a category with only 43 member pages. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Computational models to Category:Models of computation
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Less ambiguous (e.g. Model of computation vs. Computational model), matches main article. —Ruud 22:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * steam locomotives of russia


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. A duplicate of the better named Category:Steam locomotives of the Soviet Union - suggest delete - as best as I can tell all steam locomotives ceased operating long before the break up of the soivet union Sf5xeplus (talk) 14:50, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep, perhaps reverse merge. It's a little unclear but the category contains at least two classes that predate the Bolsheviks. Mangoe (talk) 15:14, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Doh! sorry I didn't think if that - ie pre 1917 russia. It's not clear what to do no but I think I should remove the delete request. Thanks/Sf5xeplus (talk) 00:02, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename.--Mike Selinker (talk) 15:38, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ocean basins to Category:Oceanic basins
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Rename to match the main article, oceanic basin. In reading that article, it appears that an ocean basin is something else, so recreation should be allowed if needed. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:17, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * comment more than half the article is a treatment on "ocean basins" instead of "oceanic basins". 184.144.169.126 (talk) 06:33, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If I understand the comment, splitting out appropriate articles into Category:Oceanic basins and leaving any ocean basins here is an acceptable conclusion. If anyone does that, I'll withdraw the nomination. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:13, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Re-name per nom. The List of submarine topographical features seems to favour "oceanic". Laurel Lodged (talk) 00:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Jyllands-Posten cartoons controversy to Category:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. The article name is stable at Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy; I suggest renaming the category to match it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename to standardize with lead article. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:01, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
