Category:British co-ed groups

 * 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:British mixed-gender vocal pop groups. No consensus regarding whether this should continue to exist. House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 22:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:British co-ed groups to Category:British mixed-sex vocal pop groups
 * Nominator's rationale: "British co-ed groups" simply do not exist, featuring an American term that makes no sense in a British context. Sources discussing mixed-sex British pop groups never describe them this way.  Category, if kept, should be renamed to something that can be supported by sources.  Escape Orbit  (Talk) 11:19, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom, or instead of "mixed-sex", rename it to Category:British mixed-gender vocal pop groups as a subcat of Category:Mixed-gender vocal pop groups as a subcat of Category:Mixed-gender bands. ~ Hiddenstranger (talk) 11:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  16:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC) Relisting comment: As Marcocapelle asks, is it defining? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 23:59, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Is this a defining characteristic at all? Marcocapelle (talk) 15:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * do you have thoughts on the alternative rename proposed above? House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 02:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hiddenstranger's suggestion of Category:British mixed-gender vocal pop groups seems like a better one to my alternative name. Although Marcocapelle makes a good question.  The number of groups that this defines must be very small.  Escape Orbit  (Talk) 12:20, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting commercial photographers
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining type of artist. there's no commercial artist category Mason (talk) 20:19, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure what this category is for... Here's the first sentence of one of the articles, Tom Hussey (photographer): Tom Hussey is an American photographer specialising in commercial advertising and lifestyle photography. Maybe there's a better way to categorize these people. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 04:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, presumably most notable photographers are making money on their work. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:19th-century American clergy. House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 23:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Pro-Confederate clergy to Category:19th-century clergy
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between occupation and political orientation. This category is not the same as Category: Confederate States Army chaplains‎ Mason (talk) 13:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Distinction between pro-Confederate clergy aand other 19th century clergy is appropriate aand helpful. deisenbe (talk) 23:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * FYI. Helpful is not a reason to keep a category. Please read Overcategorization. It'll help you craft better counter arguments. Mason (talk) 22:20, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge per WP:OPINIONCAT, but more specifically to Category:19th-century American clergy. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:45, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 23:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Czechoslovakian Wikipedians to Category:Wikipedians by ethnicity and nationality and Category:European Wikipedians
 * Nominator's rationale: Contains only subcat, which can go directly in the parent categories. Presumably the subcat should not be renamed to Czechoslovak Wikipedians, as that would be an anachronism. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 23:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting transit authorities with natural gas buses
 * Nominator's rationale: This is not a useful category - the type of fuel used by an agency's buses is not a defining characteristic of those agencies. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is so oviously WP:OCTRIVIA. –Laundry<b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 04:26, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Deep space networks. House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 23:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Deep Space Network to Category:Deep space networks
 * Nominator's rationale: The category was originally created for the NASA Deep Space Network. Expansion to "the deep space networks of all countries and organizations" was made explicit in 2013, but the category has never yet been renamed. Nurg (talk) 05:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Suggestion perhaps rename to Category:Space networks. This could extend to 'near space' networks such as Near Earth Network and LEGS.  The category is not overwhelmingly large, and the near space networks are likely of interest to the same readers.  LouScheffer (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks Lou. I am happy for it to be expanded to include 'near space' networks, as it seems there is no category specifically for them currently. Nurg (talk) 23:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Support.  The proposed name is a more accurate description.   LouScheffer (talk) 15:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. We don't have a main article, but this is a good description of these topics. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 04:06, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting argentine commanders in the falklands war
 * Nominator's rationale: The single article in the category isn't a commander. Gonnym (talk) 17:50, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Thoughts on Marcocapelle's (semi-)proposal to populate? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 01:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If anyone feels like populating this category by moving articles from Category:Argentine military personnel of the Falklands War then I would not mind. Otherwise delete as virtually empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
