 * The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)


 * Propose deleting generation z


 * Nominator's rationale: Not defined clearly when you are a "Generation Z", and already covered by the 20xx births categories Christian75 (talk) 14:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I removed the category from three pages before I realized this was a "year of birth" category. But they should not be re-added because the articles are aleredy in one of the sub-categories. Christian75 (talk) 14:55, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment. See also Categories for deletion/Log/2005 December 17. w umbolo   ^^^  15:03, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - worse than Category:Gen-Xers which was resoundingly deleted. (See Generation Z.) Oculi (talk) 19:41, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Please see the discussion at User talk:Paleontologist99. Originally the person who created this category did have the idea of just putting in every person they thought was a member of this generation. Yamla and I explained that this was … infeasible, let's say … and they seem to have agreed to just leave in the birth years and events and articles about the generation. Which is at least manageable. --GRuban (talk) 17:29, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, not a clearly defined range, and not a defining characteristic for any individual person. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:11, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: A now departed, banned user,, set up a this category with a reference. The reference was R. Frank Futrell, “The Development of Base Facilities,” in The Army Air Forces in World War II, vol. 6, Men and Planes, ed. Wesley Frank Craven and James Lea Cate, 142 (Washington, D.C., Office of Air Force History, new imprint, 1983). There are six pages in the category. I do not believe that whether these bases were Second Air Force group training installations is a defining characteristic of their existence, in line with WP:CATDEF. I asked to comment, and he said "It sounds more like a subject for a list to me than a category.  Just trying out brackets: Category:First Air Force Group Training Stations, Category:Third Air Force Group Training Stations. Category:Fourth Air Force Group Training Stations, Category:I Troop Carrier Command Group Training Stations would be direct equivalents in mission and time, but don't exist.  Of the few bases put in this category two are listed under names they never had (common problem  Nowadays the US Army has Army Airfields: during WW II it had Army Air Fields), and two more are listed under more recent civilian names (which in itself tells me that support for a "defining characteristic" is weak).  The use of the term "group training station" also implies some sort of defining characteristic between group training stations and squadron or wing training stations (which I doubt exists).  I see no reason for the category.  If this were to appear on a delete category page, I'd support". Thus I've listed this category for deletion. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Upmerge. This is one of 3 subcats of Category:Airfields of the United States Army Air Forces Second Air Force and all 3 should be upmerged to that category. I suggest the other 2 are added to this CFD. If necessary, a subsequent CFD (or a discussion elsewhere) could consider tightening the inclusion criteria of that category (and listifying). DexDor(talk) 06:37, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Moreover, that parent has siblings for First, Third and Fourth Air Force, with similar sub-cats to this one, see Category:Airfields of the United States Army Air Forces in the United States. All twelve sub-cats should be tagged and considered together. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:07, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thankyou for identifying the other related categories. So just to clarify, the best way to handle this is if I withdraw this nomination and then list all twelve for deletion at the same time? Buckshot06 (talk) 00:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Although Buckshot has listed my comment already, I support the upmerge to Category:Airfields of the United States Army Air Forces Second Air Force. As far as a further upmerge, I'd like to see more discussion before adding my thoughts, but I'm nclined to think that would go too far.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * thankyou; given Lineagegeek's comments re listification above, I now propose all three categories be deleted and turned into a proper list article, with the associated reference. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:17, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Adding parent and sibling categories as mentioned above.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Listify as nominator. thank you for consolidating this.  your view would be appreciated. Buckshot06 (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Concur. My only comment is that the listings should agree with WP:RCAT when appropriate, (i.e. list entries should be for Foo Army Airfield,  rather than for Foo Regional Jetport) but that can be taken care of later.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment LG, I can make sure that happens - I've been moving a number of similar pages to their correct period titles as I worked through categories like this. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:28, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: These categories are not needed for navigation. Each of the "People" categories holds only one sub-category for alumni. The eponymous school categories hold only the People category, the school article, and in one case a Big Match article; the contents are already sufficiently linked to each other. This is a follow-up to the nomination of the related school categories at the top of Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 19. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:21, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and previous cfd. There are others such as Category:Panadura Royal College in Category:Wikipedia categories named after schools in Sri Lanka which should also go. Oculi (talk) 15:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete all -- (1) associated is too vague for good categories (2) SMALL -- all those I checked had nothing but alumni in them. They should directly be in  relevant alumni by school category (something that needs to be checked).  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Populated coastal places in Cape Cod towns

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Populated coastal places in Massachusetts. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 04:58, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting populated coastal places in chatham, massachusetts


 * Propose deleting populated coastal places in brewster, massachusetts

 * Propose deleting populated coastal places in bourne, massachusetts


 * Propose deleting populated coastal places in barnstable, massachusetts


 * Propose deleting coastal villages in barnstable, massachusetts


 * Nominator's rationale: All of the towns named in the above categories are, like all towns on Cape Cod, coastal towns, so any "place" in them is understood to be "coastal". Note that some of these cats have been re-created by their maker after they had been merged following a discussion from a couple months ago, in which he did not participate: Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_November_29.

 * Speedy merge - recreation of deleted categories. Oculi (talk) 10:51, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * merge or delete -- the outcome previously was to merge to Category:Populated coastal places in Massachusetts, which should be as much as we need. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
