Category:Boston, Massachusetts sportswriters

 * 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:Sportswriters from Massachusetts, for now. The rename makes sense, but there's no indication that anyone's willing to do that work. And certainly we don't want just the Massachusetts sportswriters having a state category and no others. So if similar state subcategories aren't created in short order, this category can be merged as the nomination suggests, without a renomination.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Boston, Massachusetts sportswriters to Category:American sportswriters
 * Nominator's rationale: No other "town + sportswriters" subcategories exist. Why should Boston get its own? The parent category isn't overwhelmingly large. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 23:38, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Why shouldn't it? I don't understand the objection. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 10:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - The parent category contains 479 articles. I think that's more than enough to merit subcategories. I think it's an open question as to how best to subcategorize (by city, by metro area, by state, by region, by sport(s) covered, etc.; metro area or region might be best?), but there is no question in my mind that the parent category would benefit from subcategories. cmadler (talk) 12:52, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Boston sportswriters, as the article on the city is called Boston. Ucucha 16:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Sportswriters from Massachusetts and populate. This style parallels that of Category:American journalists by state ("American journalists" being an ancestor to "American sportswriters") and provides a scheme for subcategorization of the rest of Category:American sportswriters. Subcategorization by city is probably unnecessary at this point.- choster (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support renaming per Choster because it follows the categorization of a parent category. cmadler (talk) 20:08, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, seems reasonable. Ucucha 20:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:National Historical Landmarks in the Philippines to Category:National Historical Landmarks of the Philippines
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Identical category with slightly different wording. Only one item in the category in any case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:42, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge: Per nom. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:58, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Listed buildings to Category:Listed buildings in the United Kingdom
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Other countries also have listed buildings. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Impossibly vague. A manifestation of the same phenomenon as that of the The Football Association and the Rugby Football Union names. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 21:25, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hugo999 (talk) 12:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename - eg Category:Listed buildings in Sweden. Occuli (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename for clarity. BencherliteTalk 23:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. cmadler (talk) 12:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename but recreate the subject as a parent for it and Swedish cat. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There is already a parent category, Category:Heritage registers. This includes historic buildings from many different countries, which are classified in many different ways. It seems strange to group the British and Swedish buildings together simply because they use the same designation (especially since the Swedish term, byggnadsminne, doesn't really seem to translate as "listed building" in any case - more like "heritage building"). -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm rethinking this one. I see that Listed building is specifically about the UK listing. Is there any other country that actually uses this term to refer to a heritage register of this sort? If not, I don't see why it can't stay as is. cmadler (talk) 18:04, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * For exactly the reason that the Swedish category (incorrectly) uses the term "listed buildings". Although it's the official term in the UK, the phrase is too generic to be used without a geographical qualifier. A person without previous knowledge is not going to come to Category:Heritage registers and realise that British buildings are included on it without a qualifier. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:39, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename: Rename to a title incorporating “United Kingdom”. Is it worthwhile moving all the articles and categories in Category:Heritage registers to a a subcategory for each country eg Category:Heritage registers of the United Kingdom? The category Category:Heritage registers is a subcategory of Category:Historic sites which has country subcategories eg Category:Historic sites in the United Kingdom. “Historic sites” covers both buildings and sites eg Parks, Battlefields, Rivers etc. PS: I don’t think it would be anticipating the results of the discussion to move Hospitalfield House to Category:Listed buildings in Scotland as it is lonely in Category:Listed buildings?
 * Rename per nom to Category:Listed buildings in the United Kingdom, to clarify scope. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:57, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

"Category:African American-related lists" and 194 other categories

 * 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: procedural close. Nothing here is tagged, and renaming 190+ categories without notifying anyone is not okay. The internet is quite conflicted on whether or not there's a hyphen in the adjectival form, so Wikipedia can decide to use whichever it wants. It would be nice if it were consistent, and the tide on Wikipedia seems like it is turning toward use of the hyphen. So a renomination with proper tagging is welcome.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming to Category:African-American related lists per Category:African-American people

On more or less the same grounds. Alternatively de-hyphenate the similarly prefixed hyphenated cats. Rich Farmbrough, 18:45, 19th day of January in the year 2011 (UTC).


 * Support: While the article name is African American, the category names above appear to be using the phrase as a single adjective in which case it should be hyphenated on grammatical grounds.RevelationDirect (talk) 21:10, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support except for the last 2 where the phrase is correctly unhyphenated (plural noun). Occuli (talk) 21:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Note 1: none of these are tagged (and, no, I'm not going to do it myself). Changing 190+ categories without notifying anyone who uses those categories is not a good idea. Note 2: prior discussion of de-hyphenation of some of the categories is at this 2008 CfD; there may be others. BencherliteTalk 23:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Hyphenated form is correct English for all categories. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support all hyphen is needed even in genitive plural; otherwise it would refer to Africans campaigning about rights for Americans. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:11, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Propose renaming as there is a new The Heroes of Olympus series (to Category:Camp Half-Blood series.) -- Perseus, Son   of Zeus  16:42, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Clarification: Right now there is a main cat (Category:Camp Half-Blood series) with two sub cats (Category:Percy Jackson & the Olympians & Category:The Heroes of Olympus). Is your goal to reverse the heirarchy of the existing cats so that Percy Jackson & the Olympians is the main cat one while each series (Camp Half-Blood series and The Heroes of Olympus) are underneath it? RevelationDirect (talk) 21:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. The hierarchy is correct as is. Category:Percy Jackson & the Olympians and Category:The Heroes of Olympus are both pentalogies in the Category:Camp Half-Blood series.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Support, sensible.--Grahame (talk) 09:54, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Not many other famous Wagga Waggas around! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:52, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. While I would prefer strictly [town, state] for Australian suburbs towns and cities, and similarly for the US, and Canada (provinces), and treating England, Scotland and Wales similar, regardless of lack of ambiguity, so that article titles are consistent, it seems that a majority are sure that the other choice should prevail, so let it be, and anyway, categories should follow the style of the article titles.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Category:Rockhampton, Queensland

 * 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 all. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Rockhampton, Queensland to Category:Rockhampton
 * Propose renaming Category:Buildings and structures in Rockhampton, Queensland to Category:Buildings and structures in Rockhampton
 * Propose renaming Category:People from Rockhampton, Queensland to Category:People from Rockhampton
 * Propose renaming Category:Schools in Rockhampton, Queensland to Category:Schools in Rockhampton
 * Propose renaming Category:Suburbs of Rockhampton, Queensland to Category:Suburbs of Rockhampton
 * Nominator's rationale: To match its renamed parent article at Rockhampton following Talk:Rockhampton. While there is one other Rockhampton, this one is quite clearly and overwhelmingly the primary topic. There are no categories relating to Rockhampton, Gloucestershire at this stage and it does not appear likely that there will be. Mattinbgn (talk) 07:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Object -- The fact that there are 'now' no categories for Rockhampton, Gloucestershire does not imply that there never will be. Furthermore, it is always desirable to include the state or county in category names, to prevent them picking up articles for other places of the same name.  Thus the categories for "Birmingham" (the article title) are at "Birmingham, England", so that they do not inadvertently pick up categories for "Birmingham, AL".  I would not object to the creation of the targets as category redirects.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I never implies there never would be, I just said it was unlikely. I note the counter-examples of Category:Melbourne and Category:Sydney which work just fine despite Melbourne, Florida and Sydney, Nova Scotia, both of which are far, far more likely to cause complication than a tiny village. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Support, should the need to create a category for Rockhampton, Gloucestershire ever arise, the appropriate name of this category could be reconsidered (especially if the number of school articles approaches that of Rockhampton, Queensland).--Grahame (talk) 00:11, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: per consensus at WikiProject College football; please see here for discussion: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football Jweiss11 (talk)


 * Although I personally disagree with the decision, there is a clear consensus for this within the WikiProject, so I'll support these merge/deletions. cmadler (talk) 12:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Unnecessary splitting of relatively small categories (and per consensus). Tassedethe (talk) 17:51, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support So many of these categories appear together on the same article pages, because it is not unusual for any one head coach to have held a half dozen assistant coach positions and two or three head coach positions in a career.  As a project we want the category classifications to be the same for all college football programs, and the clear majority of the active project members would not like to see the major category of football coaches for particular colleges further subdivided into head coaches and assistant coaches.  The major category allows for searches of all coaches associated with a particular college without scouring multiple subcategories.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. This is an unneeded layer of navigation. When I open up Category:Michigan Wolverines football coaches, I expect to see Bo Schembechler. I sure don't want him only in a head coaches category, and I don't want him in both a head coaches category and a coaches category. So let's lose this layer here, and elsewhere.--Mike Selinker (talk) 07:50, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I added the Faulkner category to this nomination.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:20, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support because that is what the WP:CFB consensus is, although I don't actually care one way or another on a personal level. Jrcla2 (talk) 18:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. I wish these other articles existed, it would be loads easier. —  ξ xplicit  18:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Burials at Graceland Cemetery (Chicago) to Category:Burials at Graceland Cemetery
 * Nominator's rationale: To remove unnecessary the disambiguation. There's only one article with the title Graceland Cemetery, what's ambiguous here? — ξ xplicit  04:45, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - there are several other Graceland Cemeteries eg Claire Loux rests in one. If the suggested rename takes place, then it is quite likely that Ms Loux will be miscategorised. So 'Graceland Cemetery (Chicago)' seems a good idea. Occuli (talk) 11:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:LMP-politicians to Category:Politics Can Be Different politicians
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Suggest renaming to match article about the party, Politics Can Be Different. The standard naming format for politicians categories is "PARTYNAME politicians", where PARTYNAME = the name of the WP article about the party. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Rename to match title of parent article using standard format described by nominator. Alansohn (talk) 04:09, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
