Category:Historic surveying landmarks

[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:Historic surveying landmarks in the United States in lieu of a 'no consensus' close. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:40, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Historic surveying landmarks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Another one from Target. While the sole article has many categories, if this is deleted, we may want to considering adding Category:Land surveying of the United States to that article. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:45, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Monocacy River to Category:Tributaries of the Potomac River
Nominator's rationale: Merge. I don't see a benefit from having this category with only one article and subcategory. Maybe if the parent was overloaded, but it is not. A Target creation. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:37, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Allan Herschell Company roller coasters

[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 create necessary additional categories. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Allan Herschell Company roller coasters to Category:Roller coasters manufactured by Allan Herschell Company
Nominator's rationale: Rename all to distinguish between rides at a particular location, rides operated by a particular company and rides manufactured by a particular company. There are cases where a company manufactures and operates rides (e.g. Category:Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation roller coasters and Category:Kings Island roller coasters). For the same reason (and also to maintain a standard), I have nominated related categories for water rides and amusement rides. Themeparkgc  Talk  23:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

American Civil War sites by state

[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. Timrollpickering (talk) 15:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:American Civil War sites in Kentucky to all parents
Propose merging Category:American Civil War sites in Pennsylvania to all parents
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Parent is not so overloaded at this time to create small by state categories. Kentucky has only one article in it. Pennsylvania has a total of 5 (4 since one was about a neighborhood named after a camp and the camp is in ample categories) articles using 3 categories where two of them are already nominated for deletion. WV seems to be a valid exception at this time since it has over 40 articles and folding that in might cause problems. This is part of the on going series of category creations that is being reviewed.

Category:Lashup Radar Network

[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: Listify with Lashup Radar Network. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Lashup Radar Network (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category with limited growth potential where navigation is better handled by the main article. This is especially true since some of these sites have had several names over their life. The main article appears to be using the names assigned at that point in history making that the most accurate way to provide the information. Category contents use the latest name assigned which is not always useful. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:44, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • unsure References claim 44 sites included in this rather impromptu network, so size isn't necessarily an issue. What is perhaps an issue is that most potential members of the category are articles on military bases where one of the radars in the network was located, apparently in some cases because the radar was already there, in others because there was already owned land available. Is this good enough reason to categorize all these base articles? Note that Category:SAGE sites presents essentially the same issues, except that it is (from what I can tell) fully populated. Mangoe (talk) 19:04, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Listify within article: I think this would work best as a new section within the Lashup Radar Network article. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:World War II concentration camps

[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, but remove Category:World War II prisoner of war camps‎. The discussion seems to hinge on whether "concentration camp" includes more than Axis prisoner camps. I'll take the narrow road and limit the contents of this category to subcategories that contain the words "concentration camps."--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:World War II concentration camps (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. A three entry category with limited growth potential. The category introduction states that the inclusion criteria is based on a concentrated area which is subjective. Also concentration camp means something rather specific as indicated by two of these categories but that meaning does not apply to POW camps in general.

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 15:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Texas towers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Small category where navigation is better handled through the main article. Also the parent categories are problematic since two of the five were never built so how can then be consider closed? Of the remaining 3, they are listed in two different manners for removal from service. So it is better to classify these towers in the actual articles where they have ample categorization and it can be specific for each tower. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Anti-sharia law activists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: POV category which presumes in Wikipedia's voice that the actions its members take are actually in opposition to the imposition of sharia law when they're just garden-variety anti-Muslim activists. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 21:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was only added to three BLP articles by the creator User:Pass_a Method (who seems to have some editing issues, lack of discussion , WP:POV and wp:competence)- the two mentioned and Rick Santorum and User:Binksternet added it to Geller shortly after noticing its creation. Geller seems like the most reasonable of the four additions, but the cat seems a bit narrowly defining to me. Youreallycan 20:05, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a WP:SMALLCAT. Others have taken time to research to show POV issues but I don't think we need to look that far. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a WP:SMALLCAT. I see a "Separation of Church and State" category and an "Church-state separation advocacy organizations‎" subcategory but I don't see "Separation of Church and State Advocates" for individual people. I would think anti-Sharia would be a subcategory of "Separation of Church and State" (note: "Separation of Mosque and State" redirects to "Separation of Church and State"). Perhaps there should be an anti-Sharia subgroup at some point as the topic grows and one needs to track down all involved in the controversy.

Category:Authors of books on hyperreals

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Authors of books on hyperreals (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete It's a better idea to cover this through a list. One advantage of a list is that it can actually give a list of books and not just a list of authors. A big problem with the present category is that there's no meaningful way of deciding what constitutes a book on hyperreals or on non-standard analysis. Does it have to be the single subject? Is a chapter ok? Two chapters? Is a 50-page journal paper as good as a 150-page book? The term non-standard analysis is much broader than the hyperreals term used in the category title. Moreover, the category isn't based on a defining feature of its members. In the case of mathematicians I already knew about (Martin Davis, Terry Tao, Reuben Hersh), their work on non-standard analysis is not a major part of their achievements or their fame. Pichpich (talk) 19:54, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The thrust of your comment seems to be to rename the category rather than delete it. "Hyperreal" happens to be shorter than "non-standard analysis". Two of the main references, by Keisler and Goldblatt, do not use "non-standard" in the title. I am not sure why a book would have to be "a major part of their achievements". Why can't one talk about non-major achievements, as well? Tkuvho (talk) 14:55, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What I mean is that categories are supposed to be reserved for defining characteristics of a subject. I don't think authorship of a book on hyperreals is defining and I think this is particularly obvious in the case of Terry Tao for instance. For a focus on non-standard analysis, it would make a lot more sense to create a subcategory of Category:Mathematical analysts since it's awkward to separate the people who write the papers from the people who write the textbooks. Pichpich (talk) 21:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't quite understand the category "mathematics writers". I left a comment at the talkpage there. Is this supposed to be "popularizers of mathematics"? Then it's rather orthogonal to the category under discussion here. Tkuvho (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I can not imagine to whom this category could be useful. Anybody who want to learn on the subject or on the researchers implied in it will get much more useful information in hyperreal numbers and non standard analysis, including the list on the main books on the subject (at least he should). If this category is kept, we should have a Category: Authors of books on ... for every sub area of mathematics. This will need an amount of effort which would better applied to improve the pages in mathematics by inserting book references when there are lacking or incomplete. D.Lazard (talk) 11:36, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is a difference between the hyperreals and many other "sub areas of mathematics". One of the strengths of the hyperreals is their versatility. Anderson applied them in economics, Albeverio in physics, Keisler in education, Davis in functional analysis, Robinson in algebra, etc. It would be nice to have a page discussing all these applications but for now we have no such page. In the meantime, having a list of authors who wrote a book about hyperreals is a minimal indication of the range of possibilities. Tkuvho (talk) 12:35, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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. (This would be a speedy merge if it had any contents.)--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:10, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Bates College Alumni (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete because it's unnecessary. Nobody accidentally places alumni in this category anymore because the standard of keeping it lower case has been around for so long that everyone knows it by now. Also, this category was created in February 2006, when Wikipedia was at its exploratory stage. Now this soft-redirect category is unnecessary. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:26, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: (up)merge to Category:Digimon – deletion would leave the sole member uncategorized. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:DigiDestined (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: A category which, until a few seconds ago, contained only one article. That one article has been recategorised- this category serves no purpose. Most constituent articles have been merged or deleted as appropriate. J Milburn (talk) 18:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chosen Digimon (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Another left-over Digimon-cruft category. Only one article remains, and it will no doubt soon be deleted. These subjects just aren't notable. J Milburn (talk) 18:15, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Humans in Digimon (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: A category containing two redirects. None of the characters that would otherwise be a part of this category are notable- all the articles have been deleted or merged elsewhere. J Milburn (talk) 18:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Images by Before My Ken (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Images by Beyond My Ken (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete There's plenty of precedent against categories of images by uploader. The contributions list can play the same role and is a dynamic list. Pichpich (talk) 15:07, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar with the precedent cited, can you post some pointers to previous discussions? Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:11, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, never mind, that's just me being pedantic; the fact that I couldn't find any other "Images by" categories organized by editor is enough to convince me. Given the very small number of images involved, going thorugh the motions here just seems like an unnecessary hassle, so I've de-populated the categories and tagged them both for speedy deletion as the "author". I hope that will close this out. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. In categories, we do not combine the statuses of occupation and living/dead status, as does this category.

Propose renaming Category:User py-5 to Category:User python-5
Nominator's rationale: Rename. All the related categories use "python", not "py" - see Category:User python and its other subcats. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jennifer Lopez films (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Classic performer by performance overcategorization. We do not categorize films by the actors who appear in them. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Open source licenses to Category:Open source software licenses
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Open source has come to refer to a number of things besides software, so it would be helpful to clarify that this category is for software licenses, and that other open source licenses belong in the parent Category:Open content licenses. Pnm (talk) 00:32, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Open source software is clearly the dominant use of the term and at least half the links on Open source (disambiguation) have been strongly influenced by the software movement. Open source licences are not a sub-category of open content licences because the content in open content is there to distinguish them from the earlier open sources licences which were found not a good fit for content (see the GNU Free Documentation License for attempt at this). Stuartyeates (talk) 00:36, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Open content was influenced by open source – but that's exactly the problem with the current title. It suggests the category could contain licenses for both software and content. If you don't want to have open source licenses as a subcategory of open content licenses (as they are currently arranged) what arrangement do you want to see? – Pnm (talk) 04:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe use Category:Reusable intellectual property licenses as a descriptive umbrella category for both? Stuartyeates (talk) 21:33, 25 January 2012 (UTC)`[reply]
Fine, but it doesn't solve the problem of this category being only for software licenses, and that not being apparent from the title. – Pnm (talk) 20:58, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:New Zealand Medical Association (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
