1st-century Christian church councils

[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: Keep. Dana boomer (talk) 00:21, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging both Category:1st-century Christian church councils and Category:3rd-century Christian church councils to Category:1st-3rd century Christian church councils
Nominator's rationale:There only 1 such council in the 1st century. No scope to expand. Not that many more in the 2nd century either. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:39, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment By that logic, a category should be created for Category:2nd-century Christian church councils, despite the fact that no articles exist for it. Should that be allowed to stand in the way of relentless numeracy? Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:16, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, if there is nothing for a category you don't create it. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification I think that my comment has been misinterpreted. If it's a bad idea to create a category just for aesthetic reasons to fulfil a neat numerical sequence, then it's also a bad idea to keep a category that has only one entry just for aesthetic reasons to fulfil a neat numerical sequence. As has been pointed out above, WP:SMALLCAT is the relevant guide here. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is a part of a series, so size does not matter. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:55, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where is it written that a series trumps WP:Size ? In fact, where is the policy / guideline on series ? Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Amusement rides by opening year

[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 names proposed by Eureka Lott. Dana boomer (talk) 00:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Amusement rides by opening year to Category:Amusement rides introduced by year
Propose renaming Category:Roller coasters by opening year to Category:Roller coasters introduced by year
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I think that the introductions tree and the associated naming change is a better name for this category. While it is true that the rides opened in the said year, they also were introduced in that year. We have established trees for introductions and establishments but not for opened in. If this change is approved I would also like to recreate century categories for the rides which were removed in a previous discussion. At that time this category was small and the argument was that we don't need to do that. So far there are rides in three different centuries, and I suspect that there are articles on earlier ones. Also both major parents after this change group by century. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:51, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: If this is approved, a template change will be needed. That template change can also be used to move all of the articles into the new tree, Category:Amusement rides introduced in yyyy. The bot can be used to move the text for the subcategories. If approved, leave a talk note for the template work. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:42, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pease family (Darlington)

[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. Dana boomer (talk) 00:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Pease family (Darlington) to Category:Pease family
Nominator's rationale: We have no other Pease family categories. The article is at Pease family (Darlington), but that doesn't mean we have to distinguish here. If we are uncomfortable going this far, then it should be renamed to Category:Pease family of Darlington-- Mike Selinker (talk) 20:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to oppose as the category is specifically for this family which has a larger number of well-known members but there are many well-known Peases who are not in this family and have no connection (or no near connection) to this family except last name (but they themselves are in Pease families and some might be closely related to each other though not yet noted). --Erp (talk) 21:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Trapp

[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. Dana boomer (talk) 00:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Trapp to Category:Trapp family
Nominator's rationale: This category, unlike most in Category:Families, contains musicals, locations, charities, etc. But I still think it qualifies for renaming to Category:Trapp family, because everything derives from the family.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 20:34, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[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. Dana boomer (talk) 00:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Introductions to Category:Introduction articles
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category is for special purpose high level introduction articles. The problem here is that introductions are are a full tree that can not roll up the the logical parent and conversely, this category does not lead down to them. Category:Outlines may be a similar case. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:44, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Jackson family (Chicago) to Category:Jesse Jackson family
Nominator's rationale: When the last name is not enough to disambiguate, the common format is to add the first name. Could also be Category:Jackson family of Chicago or Category:Jackson family of Illinois.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 19:27, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Plesent-Meserer to Category:Plisetski–Messerer family
Nominator's rationale: Matching the names used in the articles such as Asaf Messerer and Michael Plisetski.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 19:20, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, a great idea to rename. (Just family name Plisetski (Plisetsky) in the United States - is Plesent) --Betsi Jane (talk) 19:47, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Bethmann family of merchants and bankers to Category:Bethmann finance family

Category:Cultures (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Move some common sub-categories from that category to upper category - Category:Culture: Category:Arts by culture, Category:Culture by ethnicity, Category:Culture by language, Category:Mythology by culture, Category:Names by culture. I think, the upper category is more preferable place. --Averaver (talk) 14:40, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. This was just discussed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_September_15#Category:Lego_video_games with a result of keep. I have moved all video games into the video game category, leaving only tabletop games in the games category.--Mike Selinker (talk) 16:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Lego video games to Category:Lego games
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Why on Earth should there be two nearly indentical categories with the same type of articles, but with some articles categorized on one and others categorized on the other? It seems to me that this could be very misleading and confusing, and it would be much better if the second category were to be merged into the first one. It's as simple as that. 69.204.38.3 (talk) 10:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
