Category:Pikes

 * 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 (merged contents to Category:Former toll roads in the United States). Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:08, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Pikes to Category:Turnpikes
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Pike is ambiguous. Another option would be to delete since this is a grouping by roads that include 'pike'. The other option would be to upmerge to Category:Toll roads in the United States.  Vegaswikian (talk) 18:05, 15 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Vhat ist your name? Don't tell him, Pike!  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:58, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 *  Delete Upmerge /Rename if Kept We already have Category:Pre-freeway turnpikes in the United States and, as was mentioned, Category:Toll roads in the United States. I can't see this category grouping anything beyond those two, except for WP:SHAREDNAME. (If kept, then I support the rename per nom.)RevelationDirect (talk) 19:23, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Now that I look at this closer, this category consists of non-toll roads with "Pike" in their name. Clear example of WP:SHAREDNAME. RevelationDirect (talk) 05:02, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge Delete to Category:Pre-freeway turnpikes in the United States or Category:Former toll roads in the United States. --NE2 01:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Good point above; these were not all actually turnpikes. For a time in the 1920s and 1930s, Pike or Turnpike was a popular suffix for new highways that weren't necessarily old turnpikes (e.g. Boston-Providence Turnpike). --NE2 07:04, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong rename clearly this isn't the most common meanings of pike (a fish) or most commonly found one that isn't a fish (a weapon or an acrobatic position) -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 05:37, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rename "pikes" being ambiguous. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:58, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge content to Category:Former toll roads in the United States and delete Pike due to its various meanings, not least the fish. Turnpike is a possible redirect candidate for Category:Toll roads. SFB 18:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge somewhere. "Pikes" is clearly an abbreviation for turnpikes.  As I am not in US, I do not know enougfh to pronounce on the precise targets.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:37, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rename/merge/delete; merge everything to the preexisting categories identified above. When I think pike, I think either the fish or the weapon. Neutralitytalk 02:03, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete This is categorizing roads by name, not by what they are.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:00, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:People from Adamsville, Alabama to Category:People from Jefferson County, Alabama
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Has only 2 entries. ...William 17:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Upmerge Small town which is unlikely to garner many biographies. SFB 18:34, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per nom. kennethaw88 • talk 04:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per nom. The rule is not that every place that exists automatically gets its own separate "People from" category; we create these only when we have enough articles about people from that place to justify them, and leave people catted at the level of the most appropriate parent division (county, state, etc.) until numbers warrant.

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Wikipedia articles published in peer-reviewed literature. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:02, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Category:Articles published in peer-reviewed literature
 * Nominator's rationale: doesn't seem to be worth having. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.162.13 (talk) 08:06, 15 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Wikipedia articles published in peer-reviewed literature and change to a hidden category. Not sure if this category will really expand, but I'm sure there is much administrative use for the category if it does. SFB 18:34, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rename per SFB. It will be unusual for a WP article to carry such weight.  I do occasionally see WP articles cited in academic literature, but becasue they are not peer-reviewed in the normal sense and at risk of having WP:OR added, this is unusual.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:41, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rename if Kept no opinion on whether or not to keep it though but, if we have it, should start with "Wikipedia". RevelationDirect (talk) 05:04, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rename The current name suggests this contains entries in Wikipedia on specific articles. While there may be some articles published in Professional Journals that have been so impactful that they are notable enough to be included in wikipedia, I know of none off the top of my head that have an article. For example, to pick an article that has been given a best article award by a professional association, we could have an article on 'Saviors on Mount Zion": Mormon Sacramentalism, Mortality, and the Baptism for the Dead. I doubt we would. Even most books don't get articles in wikipedia, but that is where I thought this category was heading. I would however for that type of entry in wikipedia have the category be named Category:Articles in academic journals or something along those lines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:06, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:Sarwari Qadiri order

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting sarwari qadiri order


 * Nominator's rationale: No more articles reasonably expected to be added since Sarwari Qadiri was deleted per XfD.  kashmiri TALK  01:07, 15 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Since there is only 1 article left, this category doesn't aid navigation. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting font bureau typefaces


 * Nominator's rationale: Category merged with article Font_Bureau. David Condrey   log talk  01:37, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was:  at 2015 FEB 4 CFD. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:11, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Highlife albums by Nigerian artists to Category:Highlife albums
 * Nominator's rationale: The scheme at Category:Highlife albums by artist nationality was deleted. This is too small and narrow to support. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:47, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Upmerge Current main category is too small to merit national subdivision (the whole Nigerian and British trees contain 5 artist subcategories only). Contents should also be placed in the Nigerian tree if not already so. SFB 19:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose again, as this is a useful sub-cat of Category:Albums by Nigerian artists by genre. The nominator had moved this down the hierarchy into Pop albums, but I dispute that categorisation as a sub-genre of pop - the article Highlife does not support this. Note: this is a repeat nomination, see Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_September_9, which was closed with no consensus. See also Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_October_12. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:15, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per nom and also to this cat's other parent, Category:World music albums by Nigerian artists. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 20:15, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
