Category:United States regional rail systems

 * 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 to Category:Commuter rail in the United States. ℯ xplicit  01:04, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:United States regional rail systems to Category:Commuter rail systems in the United States
 * Nominator's rationale: Some time ago Wikipedia recognized that regional rail and commuter rail are not the same thing, the regional rail article specifically specifies that "regional rail" is pretty much not a thing in the US, the systems in Category:United States regional rail systems are commuter rail systems, and the proposed name follows the general pattern of Category:X-thing in X-location.

 * Support per nom, but I would prefer removing "systems" i.e. Category:Commuter rail in the United States. "System" is ambiguous: does it refer to the railroad, to the service of the railway company, or both? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Removing the word “systems” is fine by me, especially considering that some of them listed consist of a single line. Lost on Belmont 3200N1000W  (talk) 01:04, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: These are all underpopulated and pointless, these articles are already interlinked easily and there is not need for them.★Trekker (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Support, all these categories contain around 3 articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:04, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2D. Timrollpickering 13:13, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Lewis to Category:Isle of Lewis
 * Propose renaming Category:Buildings and structures in Lewis to Category:Buildings and structures in the Isle of Lewis
 * Propose renaming Category:People from Lewis, Outer Hebrides to Category:People from the Isle of Lewis
 * Propose renaming Category:Villages in Lewis to Category:Villages in the Isle of Lewis
 * Nominator's rationale: At Talk:Isle of Lewis the place in Scotland was moved from Lewis to Isle of Lewis as requested by me. The common name appears to be "Isle of Lewis" with "Lewis" being used locally (on local maps). The name was disputed and although there was consensus to move, there was no consensus on if "Isle of Lewis" is the best name, which is why WP:C2D probably doesn't apply. There is Category:Lewis, Vermont so the old title should become a Category ambiguous. Even if "Isle of Lewis" isn't its most common name then WP:NATURAL would appear to apply, similar to Isle of Bute/Category:Isle of Bute. With the 2nd and 4th maybe they should be "on the Isle of Lewis" instead. The 3rd is already comma disambiguated, but should be moved to the full "Isle of..." per my reasoning.

 * Support per nominator. I reckon this is a C2D speedy, but even if that doesn't apply I see no benefit in a mismatch between category and head article. -- Brown Haired Girl (talk) • (contribs) 12:21, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting monster strike


 * Nominator's rationale: There is no need for a category that has only two entries. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 05:04, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:SMALLCAT though I presume the parent articles of Category:Monster Strike should be added to the Monster Strike article. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
