July 9[edit]

Category:Media of North America[edit]

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: merge. ~ Rob13Talk 04:25, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: Redundant. As we recently renamed the by-country categories to "Media in foo", we should probably stick with that convention for these ones, too. See also Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 July 3#Media by continent. --PanchoS (talk) 23:13, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom These are duplicate categories. Dimadick (talk) 00:04, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Spokane[edit]

The result of the discussion was: delete. ~ Rob13Talk 04:14, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With no parent categories, no meaningul category text and containing just one page (in User namespace) it is very unclear what this category is intended to be for. DexDor (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Media franchises articles[edit]

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. ~ Rob13Talk 04:16, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I have previously nominated this page for speedy deletion on the grounds that it was empty, but the request was declined. Although the page does contain subcategories, all of the subcategories are empty. Furthermore, this category is a duplicate of Category:Media franchises, which seems to be the main venue for the articles that would otherwise be in this category. Therefore, I propose that it be deleted. Gluons12 talk 22:28, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – The category itself is not empty, though it contains mostly empty categories. It looks like this is the former maintenance category for WikiProject Media franchises, which was superseded by the tree at Category:WikiProject Media franchises articles created by Jj98, I'm guessing over some objection about grammar. I can't find any record of a discussion about this change, but it's been stable for several years, so we may as well leave things as they are and delete the old categories.

Category:Gostaresh Foolad F.C. players[edit]

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: relisted here. ~ Rob13Talk 07:45, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It was pointed out to me that the corresponding article, Gostaresh Foulad F.C., spells the club name differently. If this spelling is correct, then we should rename the category. Note that the article has been moved multiple times. The name "Gostaresh Foulad Tabriz" is used on the logo in the article's infobox. Stefan2 (talk) 22:22, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I guess the logo contains a spelling mistake, compare article names Foolad F.C. and a lot more of them. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:41, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Visitor attractions in India[edit]

The result of the discussion was: rename all. ~ Rob13Talk 07:45, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
100+ additional categories
Nominator's rationale: Following the convention of higher level categories and follow-up of WP:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_August_21#Visitor_attractions. Nocowardsoulismine (talk) 20:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support the renaming. It is line with naming of higher level categories.Shyamsunder (talk) 23:43, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom For consistency reasons. They should match the name of this category tree. Dimadick (talk) 00:06, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • support and anytime, someone can do the same for ALL the subcats in the United States in this tree. Hmains (talk) 04:15, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:16th century in El Salvador[edit]

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: relisted here. ~ Rob13Talk 18:49, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: El Salvador clearly didn't exist in the 16th century. For consistency, it should either (1) be deleted and the pages upmerged to Category:16th century in Central America or even Category:16th century in North America; or (2) it can renamed to Category:Colonial El Salvador to follow Category:Colonial Guatemala and Category:Colonial Panama like at Category:Colonial Central America. Ricky81682 (talk) 19:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Colonial El Salvador, which did exist since 1525 and was included within the Kingdom of Guatemala in 1609.GreyShark (dibra) 20:13, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • REname but to Category:Audencia of Guatemala. That in 1609 was promoted to be the Captaincy General of Guatemala. Strictly the inclusion of events of 1525-1540 would be an anachronism. Nevertheless, since the Audencia did not exist for as long as 100 years, we do not need a split by centuries. El Salvador categories for the period from 1609 should be in those the Category:Captaincy General of Guatemala, which might merit a split by centuries. At present the article on the Captaincy General or "kingdom" seems to be structured as if it were a new country (or colony), when it was only restructured with a new title in 1609. I am reluctant to encourage the use of the translation to "kingdom", which implies full sovereignty for a person who was actually no more than a viceroy.

Category:Userbox user templates[edit]

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:User templates about userboxes. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:10, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For clarity of purpose/scope. This category is for templates about userboxes. However, due to the vague name, people have been mistaking it for a "misc. userboxes" or "all userboxes" dumping ground, so some items in it need to be recategorized into particular subcats of Category:Userboxes after the rename. Also, it has some stuff in it that belongs in Category:Userbox arrangement templates.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  14:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment shouldn't "Wikipedia" be the first term, since these are not encyclopedic. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:57, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:User templates about userboxes. I don't think the proposed name is very clear either. It sounds like any userbox could be a "userbox-related user template". While I can appreciate your desire for consistency within the category tree (which generally uses X-related user templates as the category names), I think this name would be much clearer. ~ Rob13Talk 18:56, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Edit user templates[edit]

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:Wikipedia editing-related user templates. ~ Rob13Talk 18:51, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Just so it makes some sense in English. I thought of "Edits-related user templates", because they're mostly edit counters and the like, but a few are broader, about topical editing preferences, editing approaches or philosophies, etc., so they'd have to be recategorized if the name were that narrow. (And the edit-counters need to move into the Category:Statistical userboxes subcat with the rest of them, anyway). Regardless, "edit user templates" sounds like a request, or templates relating to the editing of users, or something else confusing.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  13:31, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tennessee Volunteer NBA players[edit]

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. ~ Rob13Talk 03:51, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category seeks to intersect status as an NBA player with alma mater. This is WP:OVERCATEGORIZATION in that Category:Tennessee Volunteers basketball players already exists (and is a sub-category of "Univeristy of Tennessee alumni") as do categories for each NBA franchise. The category also sets a precedent for 350+ other potential categories, none of which would be replacing any current ones. A list of players from UT who played in the NBA is interesting information, but would be best captured as a list on the Tennessee Volunteers basketball page or as a stand-alone list along the lines of List of Florida Gators men's basketball players in the NBA. Rikster2 (talk) 12:20, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:46, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agree that this intersection of categories is better served as a list.—Bagumba (talk) 10:14, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Apologies guys. I'll make a list eventually as Rikster2 suggested. Volman92 (talk) 17:09, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To closing admin: Volman92 is the creator of the category. Can we close the discussion and delete? Rikster2 (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Smithsonian Institution-related animals[edit]

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 and rescope as per nom. ~ Rob13Talk 15:43, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCASSOC and WP:COMMONNAME
This category sounds like it might involve taxidermy in Smithsonian exhibits but it actually groups individual animals--mostly pandas--in the National Zoological Park (United States), which is under the Smithsonian. I doubt many zoo goers are aware of the parent company so the category name is unclear, grouping animals as a "museum collection" doesn't match the rest of that tree, and expanding the scope would allow us to add related articles: 1, 2, 3, 4. (Alternatively, if we really wanted to keep the current scope, Category:Individual animals at the National Zoological Park (United States) would be clearer if a bit wordy.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:57, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The creator, notified Kumioko, was banned indefinitely but I added this discussion to WikiProject Smithsonian Institution. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:57, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support main proposal per nom. (Wrt the alternative proposal, I couldn't find any other Category:Individual animals at foo and~developing a tree for categories like that would probably result in very thinly populated categories.) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award[edit]

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. ~ Rob13Talk 15:41, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award is given out twice a year by the IPS for advocating human rights in the Americas. Winners have included Harry Belafonte, Families Speak Out, Pete Seeger and, despite their non-American focus, the Free South Africa Movement. The award is notable enough for an article but doesn't seem defining to the individual recipients; the articles in this category generally mention the award only in passing. If we decided to delete this category, the recipients are already listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:54, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified Kiefer.Wolfowitz as the primary category creator and this discussion has been included in the WikiProject Americas. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:54, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:52, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Certainly an example of a non-defining characteristic. Also, WP:OCAWARD. Could be converted to a list at Ed Block Courage Award, but I question whether that's even a good idea, given how many players receive this award. One player from each of the 32 NFL teams has received this award each season for a good while now. ~ Rob13Talk 01:58, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
