 * The result of the discussion was: delete. The Bushranger One ping only 05:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * roman catholic church sex abuse scandal in new zealand


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Only one article in it is of relevance and it is already suitable categorised. While there may be articles that could potentially be written the could populate this category, it should be deleted for the time being. See also the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_New_Zealand. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:07, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is a category that has previously had more pages in it and based on media reports could easily have more again. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:19, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I know of a church that was removed from it (hmm, was it me?). There certainly is a need for a Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal in New Zealand article and the only relevant article in the category, namely Sexual abuse scandal at Marylands School, Christchurch, could even be merged into such an article. Either way, under WP:SMALLCAT it could be deleted except that it happens to be part of a series. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 05:17, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete with no objection to recreating later if there are more articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 20:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete with prejudice against recreating the category. Categories like this invite unjustified categorization and are likely to lead to BLP rules violations.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Category:Converts to Atheism from Eastern Orthodoxy

 * 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: delete, and a trout for the user who emptied it out of process. The Bushranger One ping only 05:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * converts to atheism from eastern orthodoxy


 * Nominator's rationale: This is surely an inappropriate category. Atheism is not a religion in the sense that Eastern orthodoxy is. There is no formal means for "converting" to atheism, and it has no prescribed set of beliefs and practice. This category, which implies that atheism is itself a religion, has no place in an encyclopaedia. RolandR (talk) 21:40, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom; as RolandR says, atheism is not a religion. --John (talk) 21:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe a category redirect to Category:Former Eastern Orthodox Christians ? Stuartyeates (talk) 22:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, since the broader was deleted previously. But why is the category empty? If we're going to have a discussion about a category, it shouldn't be emptied prior to being nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:58, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The category was created earlier today, and several articles were moved to it from Category:Former Eastern Orthodox Christians. Since the former category was more appropriate, I reverted the moves. RolandR (talk) 23:50, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're going to do that (though I don't advise it), you may as well just leave the category empty and wait for it to be deleted as an empty category 4 days later. Otherwise someone here is going to show up with a big fat fish and give you a smack. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete but unhappy about category being emptied. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete while Atheism is a belief system, it is not a formal religion. There could in theory be atheistic religions, but atheism itself can no more be converted to than "materialism" or "Jacksonianism" (and the latter might be a bad example).John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:44, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to F-type stars. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:07, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Version A

 * Propose renaming Category:Type-C stars to Category:C-type stars
 * Propose renaming Category:Type-T stars to Category:T-type stars
 * Propose renaming Category:Type-L stars to Category:L-type stars
 * Propose renaming Category:Type-O stars to Category:O-type stars
 * Propose renaming Category:Type-M stars to Category:M-type stars

 * Propose renaming Category:Type-F stars to Category:F-type stars
 * Propose renaming Category:Type-B stars to Category:B-type stars
 * Propose renaming Category:Type-A stars to Category:A-type stars
 * Nominator's rationale - In the case of the Type-A, B, F, G, K, M & O stars categoires, their sub-categories use the FOO-type BAR format. If these go through, than the Type-L, C & T categories should follow for consistency.

 * Propose renaming Category:A-type main sequence stars to Category:Type-A main sequence stars
 * Propose renaming Category:B-type supergiants to Category:Type-B supergiants
 * Propose renaming Category:B-type bright giants to Category:Type-B bright giants
 * Propose renaming Category:B-type giants to Category:Type-B giants
 * Propose renaming Category:B-type subgiants to Category:Type-B subgiants
 * Propose renaming Category:B-type main sequence stars to Category:Type-B main sequence stars

 * Propose renaming Category:G-type supergiants to Category:Type-G supergiants
 * Propose renaming Category:G-type bright giants to Category:Type-G bright giants
 * Propose renaming Category:G-type giants to Category:Type-G giants
 * Propose renaming Category:G-type subgiants to Category:Type-G subgiants
 * Propose renaming Category:G-type main sequence stars to Category:Type-G main sequence stars
 * Propose renaming Category:G-type subdwarfs to Category:Type-G subdwarfs
 * Propose renaming Category:K-type supergiants to Category:Type-K supergiants
 * Propose renaming Category:K-type bright giants to Category:Type-K bright giants
 * Propose renaming Category:K-type giants to Category:Type-K giants
 * Propose renaming Category:K-type subgiants to Category:Type-K subgiants
 * Propose renaming Category:K-type main sequence stars to Category:Type-K main sequence stars
 * Propose renaming Category:M-type supergiants to Category:Type-M supergiants
 * Propose renaming Category:M-type bright giants to Category:Type-M bright giants
 * Propose renaming Category:M-type giants to Category:Type-M giants
 * Propose renaming Category:M-type main sequence stars to Category:Type-M main sequence stars
 * Propose renaming Category:O-type supergiants to Category:Type-O supergiants
 * Propose renaming Category:O-type bright giants to Category:Type-O bright giants
 * Propose renaming Category:O-type giants to Category:Type-O giants
 * Propose renaming Category:O-type main sequence stars to Category:Type-O main sequence stars
 * Propose renaming Category:S-type stars to Category:Type-S stars
 * Nominator's rationale - According to these lasses are known as "type-X stars".

Discussion (Stars by spectral type)

 * Either version is fine by me, but the category tree should either use the "X-Type" or "Type-X" convention. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 21:29, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Common usage among professional astronomers is to refer to a star as a "X-Type"...so if you're fine with that, why did you create this proposal? I don't understand the problem with the current convention.AstroCog (talk) 03:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Some of the categories use "X-Type" and some of them use "Type-X". I believe the nominator is suggesting that we change to one format or the other and not have a mix of both. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:52, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment either way, the other should exist as category redirects. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 03:45, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment – I agree with AstroCog. Of the two, "X-Type stars" is marginally preferable as the more common form in Google scholar. For example, ["A-Type" star] gets 276,000 ghits whereas ["Type-A" star] gets 64,100. But I'm not religious about it. Regards, RJH (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename per the first option. In Category:Star types, the articles use the 'X-Type' variant (eg O-type main sequence star). Oculi (talk) 15:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to the first option. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * X-Type stars is more useful. We also use that format for S-type asteroids, etc. -- Kheider (talk) 18:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename using version A - as "FOO-type stars" is the standard naming convention (i.e. compare adsabs title search results for "-type" && "stars" vs. "type-" && "stars": 9,558 vs. 32, and most of the 32 are type-FOO supernovae!). Consistency with asteroid names is a nice bonus too. -- Tom.Reding (talk) 16:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

TCNJ football 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: rename. The current name is a neologism, and the TCNJ name fits the pattern of the category more than the spelled-out version,--Mike Selinker (talk) 12:33, 7 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Rename Category:New Jersey Lions football to Category:TCNJ Lions football
 * Rename Category:New Jersey Lions football coaches to Category:TCNJ Lions football coaches
 * Nominator's rationale - I am an avid American college sports editor who understands naming conventions and I am from New Jersey, and I assure you that nobody who knows anything about The College of New Jersey would shorten its name to "New Jersey". The school uses TCNJ for its athletic program in the same way that New Jersey Institute of Technology uses NJIT. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:52, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose because the school seems to be inconsistent. It appears that they refer to themselves in print as "TCNJ", but their athletic logo says "New Jersey Lions". I see far more ghits for "New Jersey Lions" than "TCNJ Lions". Additionally, ESPN and CBS Sports both refer to the teams as "New Jersey Lions". cmadler (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * If you exclude "college of new jersey lions" from your search, you'll find the opposite is true: "TCNJ Lions" has more than twice as many results as "new jersey lions," and that includes many for a minor league team of the same name and for the Lion's Gate nursing home in Voorhees.- choster (talk) 15:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose More formal names are more standard whenever possible.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:The College of New Jersey Lions football and Category:The College of New Jersey Lions football coaches per example of Category:College of Idaho Coyotes football players.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The reason there is "College of" for the Idaho example is to disambiguate it from Idaho Vandals at the University of Idaho. I'm on the fence about whether all of "The College of New Jersey" should be part of the naming convention on this. If New Jersey Lions is what's most popular and more commonly used, then I don't necessarily think we should add College to it. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Aside from the logo, www.tcnjathletics.com uses "TCNJ" exclusively. Moreover, there appears to be a minor league football team based in Holmdel calling itself the "New Jersey Lions." The existing form is not more "formal" than the proposed, and the full name of an institution is almost never used almost anywhere in collegiate athletics— I imagine SportsCenter would have a field day with a fictional matchup of the Leland Stanford Junior University Cardinal and the Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne Mastadons.- choster (talk) 15:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:The College of New Jersey Lions football and Category:The College of New Jersey Lions football coaches (agreeing with Johnpacklambert) - The parent category is Category:The College of New Jersey and siblings include Category:The College of New Jersey alumni and Category:The College of New Jersey faculty. This seems the most descriptive. ★  Bigr   Tex  22:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment College athletics' teams do not follow speedy rename C2C protocol according to actual school name. This should definitely not be named what you are proposing. Take a look at Category:College sports teams in the United States by team. The standard naming convention does not include the full school name, it goes [Shortened school name] [nickname] [sport]. What you're proposing will undoubtedly be brought to another CfR by a different college sports editor if what you suggest should pass. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to "The College of New Jersey foo" per parent categories and siblings. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Category:Subgiant stars

 * The result of the discussion was: No rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Subgiant stars to Category:Subgiants
 * Nominator's rationale: The main article of the category is Subgiant (Article moved in 2006.) and every non-stub category uses the "FOO-type subgiants" format. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 20:46, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Mild oppose to prevent confusion between gas giants and giant stars. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:14, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see, how this could confusing. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 21:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Subgiants" sound like people who are big, but not quite big enough to be called giants. The extra word "stars" clarifies the category's purpose, and should be retained.-- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:58, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Stars" is needed for clarification.AstroCog (talk) 03:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose "subgiant planet" is also found in the wild. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 03:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose "subgiant" is ambiguous. "Subgiant stars" is clear and logical. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:04, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose as the proposed term is vague.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 06:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Gas giant planets to Category:Gas giants
 * Propose renaming Category:Gas giant planets in the habitable zone to Category:Gas giants in the habitable zone
 * Nominator's rationale: The main article of the categories is Gas giant. (Article wasn't moved in the last year.) Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 20:40, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment this really should be called Category:Giant planets, with subcategories Category:Gas giant planets and Category:Ice giant planets. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 03:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - nothing else that I know of to confuse with "gas giants". Support the creation of a supercat Category:Giant planets as well, if there are enough ice giant planets notable enough for articles. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:06, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Actually before looking the discussion, my first reaction was that it may be about the giant gas fields. I don't think that I am so extraordinary person to be the only one to be confused. Support creating Category:Giant planets with subcategories per 70.24.248.7. Oppose renaming per potential confusion. Beagel (talk) 18:12, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:COMMONSENSE means "gas giants" refers to planets. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:57, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment in Google news, it is clear that "gas giants" can refer to oil and gas companies. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 04:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose - as per 70.24.248.7. &mdash; Tom.Reding <span style="display:inline-block; margin-bottom:-0.3em; vertical-align:-0.4em; line-height:1.2em; font-size:85%; text-align:left;"> t

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Kepler mission to Category:Kepler (spacecraft) & Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler space program to Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by Kepler (spacecraft). Timrollpickering (talk) 10:12, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Kepler mission to Category:Kepler (spacecraft) or Category:Kepler Mission
 * Propose renaming Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler space program to Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler (spacecraft) or Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler Mission
 * Nominator's rationale: The main article of the categories is Kepler (spacecraft) (Article wasn't moved in the last year.), but the program in which this spacecraft is used is called Kepler Mission.

 * Support Category:Kepler (spacecraft), but oppose Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler (spacecraft), which is just silly. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support headbomb -- The extra-solar planets category should be merged to a parent. We do not need a category on this spacecraft's discoveries, which is a performance by performer cateogry.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename Category:Kepler mission to Category:Kepler (spacecraft) per Speedy criterion C2D. Also rename Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler space program to Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by Kepler (spacecraft) - "the" is not necessary and makes the title look dumb. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename both per Bushranger. That would be most consistent with the article name. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:25, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename both per Bushranger, for consistency with the head article. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Category:Extrasolar planets discovered by Kepler (spacecraft) is still a silly category. The original is much better IMO. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:32, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Common envelope binary stars. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:46, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Common envelope binaries to Category:Contact binaries Category:Common envelopes

 * Oppose, the main article is common envelope, not contact binary. The category itself should be 'Common enveloppe binary stars'. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Are those letter or legal size envelopes?  Clearly an ambiguous title. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:42, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * oppose as per Vegas, adding that these things can't be bent, folded, spindled or mutilated. ;) Alternatively rename to Category:Common envelope binary stars. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose what the hell??? "Common envelopes"??? This isn't about the envelopes of the stars, it is about the stars as a whole.; it is also highly ambiguous  since this is not a category to collect common postal envelope sizes. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 04:55, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Common envelope binary stars for clarity. The current title is meaningless to most readers, and the nominator's proposal only makes it worse. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:26, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus on proposed rename. It appears that there would be a consensus to rename the other sub-categories of Category:Astronomy images to the "Images of Foo" format, but since they have not been tagged that woukd require a separate nomination.

 * Propose renaming Category:Images of moons to Category:Moon images
 * Propose renaming Category:Images of nebulae to Category:Nebula images
 * Nominator's rationale: Every sister category in Category:Astronomy images (except "Astronomy featured pictures‎") use the "FOO images format". Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 20:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Unsure... maybe the convention should be the other way around, as 'Moon images' can be confused with images of the Moon, and not generic moons. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:13, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The category for the Moon is Category:Lunar images. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 22:01, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That doesn't solve your ambiguous naming method. Someone will have to end up policing that category. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 03:53, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment "Moon images" sounds like images of the Moon. Not sure what it should be, but even if there's a category called "Lunar images" it still doesn't get around the fact that "Moon images" implies images of the Moon. Not even sure why this being proposed. There's nothing confusing about "Images of moons". If this is just some compulsive effort to make everything look the same, then I'm not sure what to suggest.AstroCog (talk) 03:11, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose it is impossible to determine the contents of "Moon images", are these images of THE MOON (the thing orbitting the Earth) or any moon ? 70.24.248.7 (talk) 03:52, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Prefer rename of other categories to Images of foos There are actually three different conventions going on here, as we have Category: Planetary images and the subcategories of Category:Solar System images (which is itself misnamed, as it contains images of objects in the solar system) are also both adjectival. One presumes that the notion of a category of "nebulous" or "nebular" or "stellar" images couldn't be created with a straight face. Whatever we pick, some two-thirds of the categories are going to need renaming, not that there are exactly huge numbers involved. I think the "images of" convention is the least awkward and therefore would propose keeping the two nominated as is, and making the following renames and changes:
 * rename Category:Cometary images to Category:Images of comets
 * rename Category:Lunar images to Category:Images of the moon
 * splitting Category:Solar System images into Category:Images of the sun and Category:Images of asteroids and removing everything that doesn't fit those
 * rename Category:Planetary images to Category:Images of planets
 * rename Category:Star images to Category:Images of stars (making Category:Images of the sun a subcat)
 * rename Category:Open cluster images to Category:Images of open clusters
 * rename Category:Galaxy images to Category:Images of galaxies
 * I haven't tagged these but if there is any support for this from anyone else I will go and do that. Mangoe (talk) 13:07, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * 'Comment Category:Images of the moon is bad, it should be Category:Images of the Moon (capital M) Category:Images of the sun is bad, it should be Category:Images of the Sun; both "moon" and "sun" are generic terms, this is about the specific Sun and specific Moon. I also don't see why we shouldn't have a Solar System images grouping of categories and other images (Zodaical light would not fit into your proposed split) 70.24.248.7 (talk) 04:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Keep. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:47, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * rye country day school alumni


 * Nominator's rationale: I believe only Edward Albee and Barbara Bush have a verifiable association with RCDS. The rest or either unverified, uncited, or have simply had RCDS inserted into their articles. Two items are hardly a reason to created a category, Wlmg (talk) 19:48, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

The category should be redefined to include only the alumni of the school, and purged on any biographies which do not verifiably meet that criterion. If that leaves it empty, then speedy delete it. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:52, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, but purge. Categorising people by the school at which they were educated is an established pattern, and there are many other small categories in both the parent Category:Alumni by high school in New York and the grandparent Category:Alumni by high school in the United States. As such, this category meets WP:SMALLCAT ... but the current inclusion criteria are "people near to Rye Country Day School", which is far too loose -- living near a school is not in any way defining.  (I can see 4 schools from my house, and there are more over the hills, but I have nothing to do with any of them).
 * Keep – obviously it should be restricted to alumni, per its name. It wasn't particularly difficult to source most of the alleged alumni (attendance at a school not being a controversial claim) and no doubt there are others with articles. Oculi (talk) 00:47, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep/Cleanup Don't accept BHG's premise that any podunk school gets it's own category but, even if purged, this one would likely be able to reach 5 articles based on a quick Google search. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:31, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but limit to alumni. How near is near? That is a POV issue.  Most high schools have an article, and that leads to a list of notable alumni and almost inevitably to a category for them.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:34, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The definition of alumni is clear enough as inclusion criteria. Alansohn (talk) 00:25, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep alumni by school is a standard category scheme, so only having a few entries is not justification for deletion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:59, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, as I said on the last nomination, I am wary enough about producer categories as often the person credited as "producer" wasn't actually the true producer of a song, but the CEO of the record company, the artist, the money man etc; also linking redirects to producer (and remixers as is contained in the category) is misleading.

 * Delete The question here is "is the remixer of the song a central characteristic of the song" I would say no, it is not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:00, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. expanded rationale to follow -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:21, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Nomination Consideration of splitting Category:1889 establishments in the United States either by more specific type or by more specific locality.
 * Nominator's rationale. This category has 79 entries, and without any effort it will soon be well over 100.  I was wondering if people thought it was worth splitting, and more importantly if it was felt that the better way to split the category would be by states, or by the type of thing established.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Nominator, you really need to browse the establishment hierarchy to gain at least a basic understanding of how it is currently organized. The nomination really doesn't make sense, at all. __meco (talk) 18:35, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I have created a sizeable portion of the category hierarchy. At present we have a system of different types of establishments by year (educational institutions, government agencies, political parties, companies, populated places, musical groups) and we have the establishment by country by year tree.  My question is if we decide to split country cats that get too large (with the US category will be if even haphazardly used) should we further divide by geography, or should we create categories like Category:Companies established in the United States in 1889 and Category:Educational institutions established in the United States in 1889.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment There is nothing special about 1889 per se, it is just the year I decided to do a categorizing of everything by country organized for. Some would argue that a nomination of every year from 1880 on might be better, but this is just an exploratory nomination.  Splitting out new categories can actually be done without seeking consensus, but I figured that we need a consensus on how and if we will split out this category.  Anyway, I really do not know which potential method of splitting would be better.  In theory both could be done, but I do not find that course advisable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:59, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The recently created Category:1889 establishments in Hawaii is not related to this discussion because in 1889 Hawaii was not part of the United States but an independent nation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I suspect that across this entire tree subcategories will be created as needed.  There is nothing magical about 100, or 70 or 200 entries that means we need to do anything.  If you look in the area of years like 2000 you will see some logical splitting happening.  I only found a few categories by state (1) and territory (2) so it is not clear if there is support for that breakout at this time. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:19, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There might some merit in U.S. state specific categories, which I think would be better than breaking it down by type of establishment. Tim! (talk) 20:31, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Having now realized that this is an exploratory nomination and that nominator is aware of structure of the hierarchy, I will address this more detailed. I initiated the the establishment by locations part of the establishments by year hierarchy. I haven't myself experienced a need for a more detailed subdivision than country-level, although breaking it down by US states would be a possibility for which we see precedents throughout the Wikipedia categories in general. I'm also unsure about making cross-linking between location and type, e.g. Category:Organizations established in Sweden in 1990. __meco (talk) 20:35, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Divide if >200 At that point, you have to go between more than one page to see all the entries. The 200 standard (much like my version of Smallcat being <5) is mine alone but I think it's a logical point to at least question if a cat is getting too large.  Until then, I think a state breakdown is premature.::RevelationDirect (talk) 01:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem with that is that it sets an ambiguous precedent. You start refining Category:1979 establishments in the United States, creating Category:Companies established in the United States in 1979 and Category:Organizations established in the United States in 1979. This establishes the new hierarchy which anyone will now feel free to populate, and the next thing you'll be seeing Category:Companies established in Portugal in 1895 emptying out the one article that was existing in Category:1895 establishments in Portugal. __meco (talk) 08:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really. The point being made is that at some point a serious look at splitting is needed.  No one is saying that categories can not be larger then 200 entries.  Having gone through a large number of building categories, and making mistakes along the way, I learned that a fixed guideline is not going to work.  Due to the distribution of articles, you may have ample material for 10 or 20 subcategories for 1995.  However if you take that back to, say 1586, you may wind up with none or one.  The question is how do you know when to stop? We run into this all of the time with any series categories.  In well populated trees you have thousands of articles to look at to find material for subcategories.  So population can affect how this works.  With large trees, the creation of subcategories can be hit or miss across centuries.  You could have 10 articles for a subcategory in one year and none in the next.  Also we need to remember the impact of decisions on populating of sub categories.  If I start at 1901 moving up in years splitting out establishments into states, and someone starts at 2000 moving to lower years splitting out by establishment type, what happens when we meet?  They are not going to want to look in 50 catteries to populate by type trees and it is not likely that I'm going to want to look into 10 or 20 categories to add these to the by state categories.  So this is not a simple issue.  Also what is the purpose of subcategories?  Is it to organize material by topic or to make it easier for navigation or something else?  In this example, which is better, by state or by type or is this an unanswerable question?  Not saying I have answers, but clearly there are questions. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:19, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I didn't decipher your post very well, I'm afraid. That said, I've been pondering strategies for developing and maintaining these chronological hierarchies for a long time. A couple of suggestions might be the following:
 * Fortify WikiProject Years as the central forum venue for these problems and challenges.
 * Develop "break-off limit" (a better name may be suggested) as an instrumental and actionable entity when it comes to making rules for when to create breakout categories, and what to name these.
 * For instance, a structure such as Category:Establishments by country and year can have on the talk page of that parent category some rules which applies to the entire hierarchy, such as,
 * Populate all years from 1800 forward,
 * Before 1800 populate decades,
 * If the 1790s category gets to 100 articles, categories for 1791 through 1799 can be created,
 * The same thing can be done to the 1780s category only after the 1790s category has been disseminated, and so on for earlier decades (i.e. even if there happens to be 150 articles in the 1730s category, it cannot be subdivided before all decades higher have been,
 * Use the same principle to establish a subdivision delimeter for centuries, i.e. categorize by centuries only until 100 articles exist.
 * And millennia
 * <li> Establish a consensus for how the backbone of these hierarchies shall be structured uniformly across the entire category hierarchy. This should dictate that by years, by decades, by centuries and by millennia should always be in place.</li></ol>
 * <li>Develop templates that can enforce the break-off limits, so that an error or warning message appears if someone appears to violate the creation rules. These templates could possibly also transclude given parameters that were given in a set format on a default sub-page of either the template or the top parent of that particular hierarchy scheme.</li></ol>
 * These are some thought, perhaps not perfectly explained. __meco (talk) 20:12, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I like your guideliness and wish they were enforcable. I actually think that Wikipedia's vague, it depends, look at the individual situation, and we'll all have a consensus-building group hug nonsense with category size is counter-productive. Not having concrete numbers for what articles are too small or what ones are large enough that splitting is warranted is misguided. Such vagueness leads to good faith category clutter that takes far more time to clean up than it takes to create.RevelationDirect (talk) 23:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * We need to implement a system which prevents categories like Category:544 BC establishments in Tajikistan from being created. How many articles is likely to go into that one? __meco (talk) 21:06, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably only the one, but this avoids category clutter at the article page. Otherwise you need a category "BC establishments in Tajikistan", and one for "6th century BC creations in Asia", and one for "544 BC", and so on. Otherwise there is no logical way to get from the category:544 BC to this specific one. I'm currently creating and populating the establishment and disestablishment categories (the latter being nearly non-existent, but the logical extension of the former), so they will form a logical full set with at the outsides some near-empty groups and in the centre (i.e. recent years, English speaking countries,...) more densely inhabited cats. This creates IMO less problems than artificial rules of which centuries get year cats, which get decade cats and which get century cats. (oh, and keep the US cat under discussion as is, please). Fram (talk) 22:16, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm opposed to categories like the 1790s since they generally don't aid navigation and when you get to the century categories, these tend to not be easily classified correctly into a century. Also categories like the 1700s are inherently ambiguous. I see no reason to group years in categories smaller then a century! Vegaswikian (talk) 01:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I suggest that this CfD gets closed and a proper RfC opened, since this is a much more general discussion, with ideas for splitting categories, grouping others together, abandoning the decade level, and so on. This needs wider input and a better format to get this thing structured and useful. Fram (talk) 22:23, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * And today even created the breakout hierarchy Category:Establishments in London by year and began moving articles into it. This is moving ahead in a very disorderly fashion. __meco (talk) 11:23, 24 March 2012 (UTC)


 * We also have Category:509 BC establishments in Italy. I think rule #1 we need to have is "do not apply country categories in an anachronistic fashion."  I would say "for cases of pre-1500 by year establishment there is no reason to put the article in any category other than Category:509 BC establishments until we determine that that category is large enough to justify subdividing in some way."  The same goes for Category:544 BC establishments.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:10, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * At an absolute minimum the 544 BC category mentioned above ought to be Category:544 BC establishments in Persia since that is the place designation that applied at the time.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:13, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No. A case can be made to also have the contemporary country (but that is often impossible or very impractical), but the current country is relevant and what most people would be looking for. Otherwise these categories will get extremely fragmented and hard to navigate, with e.g. instead of Italy or Germany a myriad of countries in the Middle Ages. You would need to locate The King's School, Canterbury in "establishments in the Kingdom of Kent" instead of establishments in England. Not very practical. Similarly, can you tell me in what country the Republic of Venice was established? In itself, in Italy, in the Byzantine Empire...? It is already a part of Category:Byzantine Empire successor states in Italy, so that category would have to go as well presumably, since it never was in Italy?
 * The history of a current country is shaped by what happened in its territory over the centuries, and these categories reflect this. When you learn national history at school, it doesn't start at the official independence date of your country with its current name, you go back to the prehistory if possible. There are thousands of articles waiting to populate these categories, which will form a fairly dense and complete tapestry of what happened in many countries, and will create a good, linear navigation scheme across whole groups of articles where it is until now very randomly applied and not of much use. The suggestions to remove either the country or the year from the categorization scheme for the outliers (the cats with few entries) means that the navigation breaks down at these points, which is making it harder for the readers for no good reason (only, as far as I can see, a philosophical or stylistical one, a kind of horror vacui which opposes nearly empty categories). As long as a system is logical and practical, there is no reason to abandon it at the extremes, as long as these extremes are not in some way harmful. I can't see the actual harm done by "544 BC in Tajikistan", even if it is the only page in BC Tajikistan. Fram (talk) 08:21, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Tajikstan is very little shaped by what happened in the area before AD 500. Imposing Category:1750 establishments in Poland on events in Silesia in that year because it is today part of Poland is a case of horrible historical inaccuracy because Silesia was a heavily German area where the vast majority of the population was expelled after World War II, and was not part of Poland, which was a clearly functioning country at that time (it had in the past been part of Poland, but that is another story entirely).  The same issues come up in trying to use Pakistan in 1925.  There is no reason that everything needs to be categorized by where it was established, and thus there is no reason to subdivide Category:544 BC establishments when it only has one entry.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:04, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, discussing all of this here has limited benefit due to the accidental location of this discussion. We should establish an appropriate dedicated forum for these discussions. I suggest it should be under he auspices of WikiProject Years or WikiProject Categories, or ideally both. I.e. we could establish a cross-WikiProject work-group between those two to coordinate these sorts of deliberations. __meco (talk) 07:34, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:United States Free Speech Clause case law. Also taking into account the discussions at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_March_20 for this closure. - jc37 01:57, 7 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:United States free speech case law to Category:United States First Amendment free speech case law
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. The name change is necessary to make clear that this category includes cases interpreting and applying the clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution that provides that "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" and not just any case that deals with something that some Wikipedian has determined to involve the freedom of speech in the abstract sense. It currently contains only those cases. This is an exception to the general rule that such categories should be titled "X Clause case law" because there is some ambiguity about whether the speech and press clauses are separate. And because the phrase "Free Speech Clause" is not used as commonly as others such as the "Double Jeopardy Clause." While the Supreme Court has never really given effect to the Press Clause as independent (i.e. given special speech rights to the press that do not apply to everyone), this preserves the ability of the category to include press clause cases (should any exist). Savidan 14:47, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I now support RevelationDirect's alternate name of "Free Speech Clause case law." Savidan 18:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak Support/ Weak Alternate Rename  Proposed name is better than the current one but, ultimately, Category:Free Speech Clause case law is where this should end up. (Unfortunately, Free Speech Clause is just a redirect at this point.) RevelationDirect (talk) 01:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not entirely opposed to support this alternate name. I did not propose that only because no such consensus had emerged in the article-space. Savidan 13:29, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- The category name is clear. However for consistency what I ahve said on recent discussions, it should be Category:United States free speech clause case law.  The inclusion of US is important as other countries will have free sppech clauses in theri constitutions.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:37, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The category name is currently not clear. It does not make clear that it only contains constitutional, First Amendment cases. As for other countries, the question is not whether they have free speech, but whether the phrase "Free Speech Clause" would be ambiguous as to whether it refers to the US First Amendment or some clause of some other constitution. Savidan 15:40, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Alternate Alternate Rename Since I'm advocating naming a category after a non-existant article that I think should exist (a dangerous proposition to be sure), I can hardly claim the category name needs to follow the naming convention of the missing article. I'm fine with Category:United States Free Speech Clause case law (Same as your suggestiong with punctuation changes.) RevelationDirect (talk) 15:10, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Google Scholar search for "Free Speech Clause" reveals no such ambiguity. Savidan 15:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose -- A bit too narrow of a construction. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 17:06, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The "broader" construction is a much bigger cause for concern. Wikipedians should not be in the business of making subjective judgments about which cases involve the freedom of speech in the abstract sense. In contrast, it is objectively categorizable whether a case interpreted and applied the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to the United States constitution. Savidan 01:26, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Many U.S. state constitutions have free speech provisions, and the supreme courts of those states are occasionally called upon to render decisions regarding them. Even absent such provisions, there are common law notions of freedom of conscience that would apply to many forms of speech. I don't think it is particularly hard to tell whether a case involved freedom of speech. Nothing prevents such cases from being included in this category (and if there were too many, we would make subcategories with this as a supercategory). <font style="background:tan">bd2412 T 04:50, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that there are state constitutional provisions that involve free speech. Wikipedia currently does not have any articles about cases interpreting those. This category currently only contains cases interpreting the federal constitution. Should any such articles be created, a category like this one could be created to house them, and the "Free Speech Clause case law" could be a sub-category of that. And should any such articles be created, there is no reason the user should not be given the option of navigating a category that is limited to the First Amendment (there are many reasons why a reader might find only First Amendment free speech cases relevant to an inquiry).

 * Propose renaming Category:Student rights case law to Category:United States cases involving students
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. These cases do not involve rights that apply only to students, or that students receive because of their status as students. Rather, these are just cases that involve students as parties, and there is no necessary commonality between the sources of law involved. Savidan 14:02, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

But when I think of United States Internet case law, I think of United States case law on the Internet, that is, web sites (as opposed to, for example, bound volumes) that contain judicial opinions.

 * Category:Polars to Category:Polars (cataclysmic variables) – C2D per Polar (cataclysmic variable) Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:25, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose – unnecessary. RJH (talk) 18:02, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * 'Polar' and 'polars' are extremely ambiguous, and the proposed change is a disambiguation fix from an unqualified name under criterion C2B. In this case, however, I think that the article title needs to be changed. 'Cataclysmic variable' is, in my opinion, not a good disambiguator: it is not likely to be widely understood or recognized and it is an abbreviation of cataclysmic variable star. A name such as Polar (astronomy), Polar (variable star) or even Polar (cataclysmic variable star) would be clearer. -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:23, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom as Polar is a dab page, to match its article per Category names. Note also that Category:Cataclysmic variables is not named after its article either. (Not to mention Category:Peculiar variables, and a host of others in Category:Variable stars.) Oculi (talk) 13:40, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to match the article name format, but I would think the disambiguation also needs to be pluralised, as in . Comment.  This was originally a speedy nomination by me, but it was opposed. I've attached to the nomination a copy of the speedy discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I prefer category:Polars (astronomy) or category:Polars (variable stars). Because it is a category (and it has more than one member), the name should remain plural.  The parenthetical "(astronomy)" is best, because general readers can see at a glance what the category is about.  Most people without a college education, and some with a college education (me) have no clue what "cataclysmic variables" are (I thought it had something to do with math). 68.55.112.31 (talk) 21:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * IMO, the category article should follow the article name. Right now it's Polar (cataclysmic variable star). But that's a mouthful. Polar (astronomy) or Polar (star) seem much more apt. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to to match the article name. There are lots of possibilities that could work, which is why we use the article name as the default. If the article name changes, use that name per what Headbomb says. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:02, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Polars (cataclysmic variable stars) per speedy criterion C2D. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:22, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Polars (cataclysmic variable stars) to match the current title of the main article, although I think that the article needs less disambiguation: e.g., Polar (astronomy) or Polar (variable star). -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Canadian triathletes and Category:Female triathletes. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:18, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * canadian female triathletes


 * Nominator's rationale: Currently the only subcategory of Category:Female triathletes. There is no need to subdivide this category by nationality, which would be overcategorization and create unnecessary maintenance work. NSH001 (talk) 10:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support - Given that Category:Female triathletes includes only 13 articles to date, subcategorizing it does seem entirely unnecessary. Doing so by nationality would lead to particularly high overcategorization.--Martin IIIa (talk) 19:01, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks for your support, but you may want to reconsider. I have made a list of female triathletes, and can – if I want to – add the category to all of them fairly easily and quickly using AWB. The list, at User:NSH001/all triathletes/female, currently holds 243 female triathletes. I can see some value in having a cat of female triathletes, but am reluctant to do so if other editors are simply going to replicate the same, or similar, subcategory structure as the main triathletes category. Hence this nomination, to find out other editors' views. --NSH001 (talk) 19:48, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * update the parent category, Category:Female triathletes, has now been fully populated (241 members) --NSH001 (talk) 11:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Upmerge to its parents. We don't divide by both gender and nationality in any sport except basketball, I think.--Mike Selinker (talk) 04:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Mostly agree with upmerge. They're already in one of the parent cats (Female triathletes). There's a case for adding them into Canadian sportswomen, but we don't (at the moment) generally add female triathles to any of the sportswomen by nationality categories. That's really a discussion for another time and place. That just leaves merging them into Category:Canadian triathletes and deleting this one. --NSH001 (talk) 17:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Category:United Arab Emirati people

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Emirati people. The Bushranger One ping only 05:51, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:United Arab Emirati people to Category:Emirati people
 * Nominator's rationale: This issue was also raised at an earlier CfD and also per the latest discussion here, the correct (and official) denonym for a person from the United Arab Emirates is "Emirati", not "United Arab Emirati". See the infobox on the United Arab Emirates article which lists the denonym "Emirati" and also the Emirati people article itself, as well as "List of Emiratis". All mainstream sources (eg. newspapers) refer to a native of the UAE (or anything related to the country in general) as "Emirati" while I can find no usage of the term "United Arab Emirati" anywhere apart from Wikipedia categories. It seems to have been invented. I'm going to start by proposing a rename of the parent category first. If that goes ahead, then other categories would follow suit later.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 09:26, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support as nominator.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 15:38, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support rename and implementation across all categories that use "United Arab Emirati". "United Arab Emirati" appears to pretty much be a neologism limited in its usage to Wikipedia. I don't see why we shouldn't change to "Emirati". Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep there are several Emirates, and so we need to make it clear what Emirates there people are connected with.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:06, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the discussion here is about the use of the word "Emirati" as a denonym. The term "Emirati" is generally used for anything associated with the United Arab Emirates. Could you provide some clarification on how would you relate this term to other emirates?  Mar4d  ( talk ) 15:38, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I personally have never seen the term "Emirati" used to describe someone from an emirate that was not one of the United Arab Emirates. It's kind of used in the way "American" is used—yes, it could technically refer to people from a broader place (American=from any part of North/South America / Emirati=people from any emirate), but in practice it always has a more restrictive meaning (American=people from the USA / Emirati=people from the UAE).

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Nobody seems to want to close this, so I'll do so.

 * albums by certification


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. While an album could well be defined by reaching gold or platinum status, no album is defined by it being certified platinum in Japan, double platinum in the United Kingdom, and triple platinum in Canada, and it certainly does not need to be categorized in every country in which it has received some sort of certification. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for some albums to be categorized in a dozen or more of these categories (with a possibility of as many as 30), such as Gold: Greatest Hits (ABBA album), Believe (Cher album), and 21 (Adele album) (to name just a few), which to me is a case of category clutter and WP:Overcategorization:
 * Not every verifiable fact in an article requires an associated category
 * They make it more difficult to find any other particular category, even more so with the length of the names and the number of these categories
 * Having each of these characteristics mentioned in the lead portion of the article would not be appropriate, although general statements like "top selling" or "record breaking" may be.
 * This may also fall under overcategorization per WP:OC just because of the number of albums in the number of countries that certifications can be received, just like trying to categorize an actor or author or artist for every award s/he may have received.
 * Not to mention that criteria can change over time, meaning what's gold in 1970 could be different to what qualifies for gold certification in 2000. I have no issue with looking at an article for an album and seeing its sourced list of individual certifications. -- Star cheers  peaks  news  lost  wars Talk to me 08:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Discussion (Albums by certification)
However, that qualifier is crucial, because I don't know how many article are badly cluttered by these categories. I am wary of jumping in too fast on the basis of problems like that with Winston Churchill or T. P. O'Connor, who are are in squillions of categories because of their extraordinarily long careers. Some editors have looked at those articles and sought a cull of the categories, but this is bad logic because they are exceptional cases, and the categories concerned cause problems only in those few extreme examples. What we need to know in this case is how many albums end up in more than say 5 of the categories. If the clutter is restricted to a few dozen albums such as ABBA Gold, Abbey Road and Thriller, then I say keep the categories ... but if the problem is more widespread then we need to look at a cull of all but the highest-sales categories. I suggest that we formulate a request at WP:BOTREQ, for some statistics. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Tentative keep As pointed out by the nominator, sales certifications can be (and frequently are) defining characteristics. "The platinum-award winning..." Or "...which has since sold more than 10 million copies in the United States alone" are the type of copy in all kinds of write-ups about albums, so it certainly seems like it could be defining. If this was the case, we could simply have Category:Certified gold albums and Category:Certified platinum albums and be done with it, but what constitutes "gold" status varies by certifying authority (furthermore, many albums sell well in one market or locality and not in another, so the fact that X album sold well in Y is defining...) Does that make sense? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Neutral/Comment Though I was the creator of most of these categories (I believe only some RIAA, some RIAJ and maybe some SNEP categories existed before I started) I do agree this got a bit out of hand. I must admit to a hidden rationale. I found the fact that we mostly only categorize by RIAA a form of WP:BIAS, so I thought adding all the rest will resolve the issue. The result was indeed similar to WP:OC. On the other hand, Category:Award winners clearly shows that WP:OC has many exceptions. Also, the point remains though that these categories serve the purpose of categories - they ease navigation. Just the other day I saw an album who was certified Diamond by SNEP and it got me wondering about other Diamond winning albums in France. Anyway, Whatever the community's decision on this may be, I hope it does not return to the situation before I started, where everything was biased towards American sales. --Muhandes (talk) 09:49, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, pending more information. I share the concerns about the bias inherent in categorising by only one country's award system, but I also agree with the nominator that this proliferation of categories is horrendously cluttersome for albums with strong sales in multiple countries.
 * Conditional delete. The nominator is clearly right that this is completely out of hand. However, just deleting these categories loses the data what we eventually want to do with this information, which is... well, I don't know. I can imagine every album article getting a little table under its infobox called "Certifications." And then a bot might go through one of these categories and replace that categories with a line in the infobox that contains a flag or abbreviation of the country and the appropriate certification, such as "FRA: Gold." This might be completely impossible. But something should be done, because this category scheme is just too cluttery.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:01, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Tentative delete - While I strongly second BrownHairedGirl's proposal, I would be much surprised to find that the problem is restricted to just a few albums. Albums tend to be more universal in appeal than films or books (I'm of course speaking of individual albums, films, and books, not the mediums as a whole), and unlike films and books, they require little to no localization. What this means is that record labels tend to release albums that have certifiable sales in one nation across multiple nations, and those albums tend to achieve certifiable sales in a healthy percentage of those nations as well. As a little test, I tried picking a sextuple platinum category at random - Category:Albums certified sextuple platinum by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie - and found that both of the articles in the category are hopelessly swamped with certification categories. And while I definitely see what Muhandes means about the categories easing navigation, surely a set of "List of albums certified..." articles would serve more or less the same function, and with less clutter.--Martin IIIa (talk) 14:04, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment can we make these categories hidden and then leave it to article authors how to present the information to readers? Stuartyeates (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Move discussion to WT:ALBUM? It does not seem like there is going to be clear consensus on deletion, maybe it would be best to move this discussion to WT:ALBUM? --Muhandes (talk) 18:13, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I've created a list of albums certified by the Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers. Since the list isn't that large and the main article is a stub, I've put it all in the one article for this case. Note that it only includes albums that have been categorized under these certifications, and it doesn't include artist's names or dates of certification yet as a WP:WORKINPROGRESS. As time allows, I can move forward on putting together the other certifying agencies' lists. The hidden category, Category:Certification Table Entry usages for Argentina, will place album articles into it that use the Certification Table Entry template. -- Star cheers  peaks  news  lost  wars Talk to me 20:23, 26 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete, but would like to see the information retained in lists. I agree that the scheme is just too much for categorization, given the multitude of certifications that exist. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:27, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep agree with User:Muhandes seek input from WT:ALBUM. Also keep, because all of the Canadian CRIA categories listed, none are linked to Canadian music (or any other country).  Further, Category talk:Albums certified by the Canadian Recording Industry Association was only added to the Canadian music project 28 March 2012 for Article Alerts.  How can this be a community discussion when all affected are not aware/notified?  It seems that one country's users are dictating the will of wikipedia.  Argolin (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete all including RIAA The information can be retained in lists on the individual articles but the current set-up is over-categorisation. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:03, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Partial delete for New Zealand - should only show Gold and Platinum as categories - all their respective subsets could go. The lists are minor and virtually meaningless in a NZ context. NealeFamily (talk) 04:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Latin grammarians to Category:Grammarians of Latin
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. The two categories duplicate each other. I would rather merge to "Grammarians of Latin" rather than "Latin grammarians" for two reasons: 1) most similar categories use the format "grammarians of x", and 2) there is a chance that "Latin grammarians" could be taken to mean grammarians who have a Latin-American background, not grammarians of the Latin language. — <b style="text-shadow:0.15em 0.15em 0.1em #555; color: #194D00; font-style: oblique; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif"> Mr. Stradivarius ♫</b> 05:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Eastern Arabic numerals to Category:Numerals
 * Merge Category:Arabic numerals to Category:Numerals
 * Merge Category:Indian numerals to Category:Numerals
 * Nominator's rationale: This discussion resulted in the deletion of several categories that consisted solely of redirects to numerals. These categories are related. Category:Eastern Arabic numerals contains a main page, in addition to 10 redirects. Category:Arabic numerals contains 2 pages and the subcat Category:Eastern Arabic numerals. Finally Category:Indian numerals contains only a main page. It doesn't seem like there will ever be enough articles to justify this sort of categorization (WP:SMALLCAT). The main articles should be upmerged and the redirects removed from the categories. LeSnail (talk) 05:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * What exactly do you want done with the Arabic numerals and Indian numerals categories? Do you want them deleted or upmerged? -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am proposing to upmerge all of them. The redirects, however, should be removed from the categories so that the only articles moved are the main pages. I have clarified the nomination now. LeSnail (talk) 17:22, 25 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete -- These are useless categories as they are merely leading to the article on the number. Except that the character from the particular script is used in the category, and a main article is given, there is no real content.  There never can be any more content.  The properies of any number are the same whatever script you write it in.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:09, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Hyades cluster to Category:Hyades (star cluster)
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. An opposed speedy nomination. The article is at Hyades (star cluster), so I suggest renaming the category to match based on the applicable naming convention: "Names of topic categories should be singular, normally corresponding to the name of a Wikipedia article.". The grounds for opposition—that the proposal to match the category name to the article name "seems trivial and inelegant"—is subjective, I think. I could just as easily argue that maintaining a difference between the article name and the category name in this case is trivial and inelegant. There is no way to prove which of these two views is "correct", so it seems natural to default to the naming convention guidelines. The guidelines are there precisely to avoid such battles of subjective preference. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:34, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:Hyades cluster to Category:Hyades (star cluster) – C2D per Hyades (star cluster) Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose – there is no other type of "Hyades cluster" such that it needs to be disambiguated in this manner. Changing it just to match the article name seems trivial and inelegant. Regards, RJH (talk) 17:30, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In that case, should the article also be titled Hyades cluster? -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:29, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom, to match the title of the main article per Category names. In light of the prevalence of precedents affirming the principle that the title of a topic category should match the title of its key article, there needs to be a very compelling reason to justify an exception. In this case, I don't think that there is such a reason. Furthermore, the proposed title better matches what is written in the article: "The Hyades ... is the nearest open cluster to the Solar System and one of the best-studied of all star clusters." In other words, the name of the object is 'Hyades' and it is a star cluster. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
