 * Propose merging Category:Organisations based in Prague to Category:Organizations based in Prague
 * Nominator's rationale: Per parent Tim! (talk) 08:24, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Reverse merge. For European countries, the convention of Category:Organizations by country is "organisations" (i.e. withn an "s"). -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:30, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Apart from, , ... while what you suggest would be a good rule it is not followed in practice. Tim! (talk) 06:59, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. The rest of the Czech tree is with a 'z'. However, Tim! should please explain why he created this duplicate category in the first place?? --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 15:11, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Parent uses the "zee" spelling of organisations/organizations. Tim! (talk) 08:06, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok to merge - Per nom. It's ok for me, to harmonize categorization forms. Btw I've created other categories also about organi(z/s)ations based in. Sometimes is not simple to choose the better form but, for an harmonization, feel free to merge eventual others. Greets. --Dэя-Бøяg 21:51, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge. UK English predominates in Europe, so we should use the UKanian spelling. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:40, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename/delete as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:16, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Modern artillery of the United Kingdom to Category:Post–Cold War artillery of the United Kingdom
 * Propose renaming Category:Modern missiles of the United Kingdom to Category:Category:Post–Cold War missiles of the United Kingdom
 * Propose deleting Category:Modern British anti-ship missiles (currently empty as all articles that were in it have been moved to a Cold War category)
 * Nominator's rationale: The word "modern" is highly ambiguous and best avoided in category names. See also Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_January_24 DexDor (talk) 05:45, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * comment but see Category:Modern weapons by country and all its sub categories Hmains (talk) 19:22, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The use of "modern" (sometimes meaning 19thC-, sometimes 1945-) in category names goes even wider than that - see Category:Modern military equipment. It's too complex to cover in one huge CFD. There are other CFDs about different parts of the "modern" tree (e.g. this) and assuming these CFDs go through OK they may be followed by larger CFDs. DexDor (talk) 05:15, 12 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment -- We deleted a host of "modern" categories as a case of a current/past distinction which we do not allow for categories. Personally I do not like the Cold War/Post Cold war split.  However if we are going to have it, we should use "Post Cold War", not modern.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:36, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Category:Royal Norwegian Navy guided missiles

 * 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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting royal norwegian navy guided missiles


 * Propose deleting Category:Royal Norwegian Navy anti-ship missiles
 * Nominator's rationale: That a missile (or anything else for that matter) has been operated (i.e. used) by a particular organization is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic of that missile. These 2 categories contain a single article and that article is in other more appropriate categories (e.g. Category:Anti-ship cruise missiles of Norway).
 * This is a step towards the deletion of the Category:Guided missiles by operator tree. Some missiles have been operated by dozens of countries (e.g. see Sidewinder missile). That there isn't an "Objects by operator" category for Category:Guided missiles by operator to fit under is an indication that this isn't the way we normally categorize articles in WP. DexDor (talk) 05:23, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment -- I doubt Norway makes its own weapons, in which case this is a performance by performer category and should be deleted. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:37, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, Norway has developed the Naval Strike Missile, but the RNoN is an operator of the weapon (many weapons have many operators), not its developer (which is more defining). DexDor (talk) 21:53, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
