Category:Project Koko

 * 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) 02:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting project koko


 * Nominator's rationale: This category was created by a user (CYl7EPTEMA777) who was blocked in part for competency issues. The current category is based on something that does not exist "project koko".  There is a Koko (gorilla) but that is it.  The user categorised 5 articles under this category and it appears that the only reason is that they have something to do with gorillas. I am One of Many (talk) 20:36, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Category:Songs about androgyny

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:32, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting songs about androgyny


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and see Overcategorization and specifically, WP:DEFINING. There are 3 members of this category, but none claim to be about androgyny, although two use the word in the title. The third song was inspired by "a dude who looks like a lady", so whether that song should be included is debateable. "Songs about..." categories remain a repository of original research without any redeeming factors. Richhoncho (talk) 14:47, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Support deletion - I believe there may be some categories of "songs about..." that could be useful, though the categories are usually better off being phrased as "x songs" and in most cases seem to be in such a format already ("Anti-war songs", "Patriotic songs" and "Religious songs", for example). "Songs about androgyny", however, is not one of them, no more than "songs about chairs", "songs about a pink fluffy cloud", "songs about my neighbour's niece's first pet" or any other such a category would be. It would be different if androgyny became a common defining theme in songs, like war has, various forms of activism have, sexuality has, religion has, etc., but right now it's overcategorization on a non-defining theme.

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Japanese Occupation of Indonesia to Category:Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies
 * Nominator's rationale: Following the requested move last year (i.e. Japanese occupation of Indonesia --> Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies), this category needs to be standardised (also note that I am fixing capitalization) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)


 * rename per nom. Indonesia did not exist as s state until after World War II.  Before being occupied by the Japanese in World War II, it was Dutch East Indies. Hmains (talk) 21:09, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename -- That reflects the contemporary name for the polity. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:42, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename per nomination and policy. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 19:35, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:10, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Catskill Mountain train stations to Category:Railway stations in the Catskill Mountains
 * Nominator's rationale: This is the way railway station categories by location are named; these stations are in a location called the Catskill Mountains, not operated by a company or system by that name. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:37, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:22, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting songs about anger


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - see Overcategorization and specifically, WP:DEFINING. Nearly every "break-up song" and "protest" song could be included. There is a fundamental problem with "songs about" and songs about an emotion top of that list of problems. Richhoncho (talk) 11:14, 9 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, and for similar reasons as the love songs category was deleted back in 2006. An angry song may not be quite as ubiquitous as a love song, I'll grant you, but it's not too far behind, especially in popular music since the 60s. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:35, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete impossible to define inclusion criteria.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:35, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting history books about the lost city of z


 * Nominator's rationale: Small category with little chance of expansion Tim! (talk) 10:12, 9 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Category:Lost City of Z might just about be useful category, also to include the explorers who tried to lcoate it, and such like. However, it may be better to merge it into the Lost cities category.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting:


 * Category:Wikipedians who use a pre-WinXP Microsoft operating system‎
 * Category:Wikipedians who use MacOS‎
 * Category:Wikipedians who use Microsoft Windows 7‎
 * Category:Wikipedians who use Microsoft Windows 8‎


 * Nominator's rationale: - Per established precedent set here to delete Wikipedians by operating system categories because they don't benefit the encylopedia. VegaDark (talk) 02:46, 9 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete -- Not useful user categories, so far as I can see. The pre-XP and MacOS ones might be unusual enough to warrnat being kept, though I am dar from convinced.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:50, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
