 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 22:54, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Category:Automotive conversion templates
 * Nominator's rationale: This category is now empty because all of the templates that used to be in it have been merged into convert. It could probably be speedied, but I wanted to give the automotive people a chance to object if they have any future plans for it. -- Selket Talk 22:25, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete The move to has been a long time in coming.  I can't imagine that anyone seriously involved with the automotive project is unaware of this (I can think of at least two of the top of my head who are for it).  The deletion of the final remaining templates was given the go over a week ago without objection.  There could be no further use for this empty category.  It's a definite WP:CSD.

They are lists of publications where the the X-Men are the focal point in the narrative, the work of fiction, the publications present. J Greb (talk) 21:51, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename These are obviously lists of works (not a list of sources) and they list similar material together, not a list for an article that one can reference.Curb Chain (talk) 04:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Franz Kafka scholars. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * kafka critics


 * Propose renaming Category:Kafka critics to Category:Kafka scholars
 * Nominator's rationale: Only of the six articles in this category appear to be literary critics focusing on Kafka: most are biographers or translators. Rename per Category:Shakespeare scholars, or just upmerge, as a number of these people had been categorized under the eponymous cat for Kafka, before User:Stefanomione created this. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:27, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename Category:Franz Kafka scholars per main article/cat. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:43, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This is better, of course (Category:Shakespeare scholars should also be renamed for that reason). As nominator, I support User:Koavf's rename option. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:28, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 18:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * colorado scenic and historic byways


 * Nominator's rationale: Populated only by Category:Colorado Scenic Byways and is therefore redundant to it save for the shitload of spam its only editor, User:SBMANAGER, added at the top. I removed the same vandal's nearly identical spam from Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways, but you guys will have to deal with the category. 99.164.32.24 (talk) 17:37, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * films based on works


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Redundant with Category: Films by source. Only one article listed (a duplicate). Very few edits. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 16:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename Category:Films based on works is actually a narrower category than Category:Films by source and the narrowness is not necessary.Curb Chain (talk) 04:35, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:27, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * films about spartacus


 * Delete or upmerge Nominator's rationale: The list of films in the parent article Spartacus makes it seem unlikely there will be enough articles to satisfy WP:SMALLCAT in the foreseeable future. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:35, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Category:Former Reform Judaism temples in Poland

 * 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. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Former Reform Judaism temples in Poland to Category:Former Reform synagogues in Poland
 * Nominator's rationale: The general term for a Jewish "house of prayer" is synagogue. Only in North America is the word "temple" ever used as an alternative word. Furthermore, all 12 pages currently appearing in this category include the word "Synagogue" as part of their name. Davshul (talk) 05:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. "Temple" is also used occasionally in Australia, New Zealand, and other Pacific English-speaking countries. But more to the point I agree this should be renamed for consistency' sake. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:19, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Comment Davshul has just created Category:Reform synagogues in Poland and Canada, despite the current nominations. And guess whta, Category:Reform synagogues in Canada has 3 pages, all called Temple. Chesdovi (talk) 17:18, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose From the beginning of the nineteenth century, the word "temple" began to be used for Jewish houses of worship, almost exclusively by the followers of Reform Judaism, first in Germany, then in other countries, especially in the United States. I would induce Davshul to retract his latter reason for the nomination. He has voted to keep Category:Reform synagogues in the United States, yet that category has 127 pages, 4 of which are called "synagogues"! Chesdovi (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I stand by my nomination. These synagogues (primarily in pre-War Poland) would probably have been referred to by their congregants as "shuls" (using the Yiddish word) or "beitei knesset" (the Hebrew word) (I've no idea what the Polish word is and doubt that it was used). However, in translating the name of the listed synagogues into English, it is noteworthy that the word "temple" was never used by the user(s) who created the articles. Davshul (talk) 12:27, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Make up your mind man! You want to rename this category because all the pages are called synagogue. Yet elswhere you want to keep "Synagogue" even though all the pages are called Temple?! Chesdovi (talk) 17:15, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support as "synagogue" is the general word used for a Jewish house of prayer, and to match the rest of the category tree. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:29, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Reform synagogues is also up for rename to this the mose accurate "temple". Chesdovi (talk) 17:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support – the top category is, and an immediate parent is Category:Former synagogues in Poland. Occuli (talk) 19:15, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. All related categories use the word "synagogue", which is that WP:COMMONNAME for a Jewish house of worship. Jayjg <small style="color:darkgreen;">(talk) 02:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Rename to standardize nomenclature to use synagogue as the generic term for a Jewish house of worship, regardless of denomination. Alansohn (talk) 03:26, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support as synagogue is the generic term for any place of worship used in post-temple Rabinic Judaism.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:34, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
