Colonial Australia in television and film

 * 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 (Speedy C2C, parents cats are "Films/Television shows set in..."). The Bushranger One ping only 01:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Colonial Australia in television to Category:Television shows set in colonial Australia
 * Propose renaming Category:Colonial Australia in film to Category:Films set in colonial Australia
 * Nominator's rationale: These were just recently split in a nomination of mine, and I created the television one in the process. But in retrospect these just seem like they're set in the period and location. Actually, the "___ in film" format is pretty suspect, in my opinion. Maybe a broader nomination will follow this if it gains traction-- Mike Selinker (talk) 16:10, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 00:00, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:International Accounting Standards to Category:International Financial Reporting Standards
 * Nominator's rationale: In summary, the current name of the category is misleading and not reflective of the purpose of the category since the International Accounting Standards (IASs) has been defined as a subset of the International Reporting Standards (IFRSs) by the IFRS Foundation, and not the other way round. To go into further detail, here is a breakdown of the nomenclature:
 * "IFRS Foundation": organisation with various goals, including the development of standards through the IASB. (ref)
 * "International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)": the standard-setting body of the IFRS Foundation. (ref)
 * "International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)": refers to standards developed by the IFRS Foundation through the IASB. (ref)
 * "International Accounting Standards (IASs)": refers to previously-developed standards adopted by the IASB that now form part of the "IFRS requirements" (ref) along with the IFRSs (ref).
 * The key takeaway here is that the IFRS Foundation has stated that both the IFRSs and the IASs now form part of the IFRS requirements, and the combination of all these factors I think presents a pretty convincing argument for the renaming! I'll be adding a note on the talk page of the accounting task force, by the way, in case any of their members have anything to add.  Samuel  Tan  03:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Nominator comment: I've added a note on the task force's talk page here, in case you guys want to check it the discussion there (if any). Samuel  Tan  04:11, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Category:People educated at the De La Salle College (Jersey)

 * 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) 00:01, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:People educated at the De La Salle College (Jersey) to Category:People educated at De La Salle College (Jersey)
 * Nominator's rationale: I nominated this on Speedy, but there was an objection to my use of C2D to get rid of the "the" in the category name. So I'll try it here. The school's website is clear on this: The headmaster's welcome begins "De La Salle College is well known throughout Jersey..." and ends with a signature of "Head of De La Salle College." Again, I think that's a speedy rename, but there's been disagreement about that.--Mike Selinker (talk) 00:31, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:People educated at the De La Salle College (Jersey) to Category:People educated at De La Salle College (Jersey) – C2D: Per De La Salle College (Jersey), there doesn't seem to be a "the" in this school's name.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 22:08, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose I don't think C2D can be applied there, as the capitalisation of "the" makes it clear, that it's not part of the schools name. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 10:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Rename per nominator, and no objection to speedy. This is the result of a mistake by me in this CfD nom on March 1, and I'm grateful to the nom for sorting it out. I thought that the general usage of school's name included "the", but having checked again I dunno how I got that idea. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Snappy (talk) 13:50, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
