Rename per nom. David Kernow (talk) 04:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
~~Rename to Category:People from São Paulo~~ Merge to Category:People from São Paulo state - categorizing people by the city in which they were born or are "from" is overcategorization. People move, meaning they can potentially be "from" multiple cities. The state or territory level is specific enough categorization for "people" in general (and IMHO even by state or territory may in many cases be overcategorization).

Nominator's Rationale: Rename. Convention of Category:Writers. Brandon97 22:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. Whilst we're looking at Category:Canadian writers by province or territory, and as this CfD has only just started, can I add in Category:Manitoba authors, Category:New Brunswick authors and Category:Nova Scotia authors as renames to '...writers' for the same reason? Bencherlite 23:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep pending examination of source categories. If we need categories for the Catholic Encyclopedia and the 1911 Brittanica, we ought to have this one too. Mangoe 17:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as an important musical category, but Rename to Category:British folk rock albums to fix capitalisation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with BrownHairedGirl. There's a lot of folk rock albums and it makes sense to sort the British ones into a separate category. Definitely fix the caps, though. --Bonadea 12:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Natural bodybuilding

The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category or categories above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Delete. --Xdamr^talk 23:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The category is populated by two biographies, which are both now on AFD. The definition of "natural bodybuilding" seems arbitrary, and any relevant articles can go in the parent category about bodybuilding. YechielMan 18:39, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The first section of the article on natural bodybuilding shows that the term indeed has several uses. Some people described as natural bodybuilders may not be described as such by other people. Since the categorization has a significant gray area, the category should be deleted.

Delete - the category as noted before is an "incredibly useless" category, not only does it have only one link on the actual page (which links to a user page), but what has happened on May 27th is already noted on the page it redirects to. Radio Orange 15:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Tanks by nationality to Category:Tanks by country

Nominator's Rationale: Rename. I found the thought that tanks had a nationality rather odd. While not always used, the 'by country' form is the most common in Category:Categories by country. Vegaswikian 07:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anti-creationism

The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category or categories above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Keep. --Xdamr^talk 00:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem an appropriate category to use. Arbitrary/Subjective. ZayZayEM 07:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC) This category is subjective. It does not clearly define the anti-creationist movement as a collective or organised movement (c.f. intelligent design movement). It appears to be a collection of various people, groups and texts that lambast creationism (whether from a legitimate view), as well as those that actively promote good science, and a few that do a bit of columns A and B. Please consider the status from an alternative viewpoint. Matters which may seem clearcut, may not be so clearcut from people with less, or different familiarity. My version of what "anti-creationism" is may be quite different from someone else's (particularly a creationist's!).[reply]

keep This is a field of study which is perhaps more legitimate (depending on your point of view) than the Category:Creationism. Hmains 16:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- "Field of study"???? Where are courses offered. I'd love to enrol (seriously)--ZayZayEM 06:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An appropriate use for a category, neither arbitary nor subjective. Casperonline 20:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The current name seems to violate WP:NPOV. Not sure what would work better, but after reading the introduction, maybe Category:Creationism and pseudoscience. Vegaswikian 05:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Does not violate WP:NPOV, and is much clearer than the alternative proposed above. Oliver Han 10:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A quick web search seems to indicate that the term "anti-creationism" is probably legitimate. However I'd feel more comfortable using this category if someone could create a referenced main article to go along with it that describes and defines Anti-creationism. Having a referenced main article would help demonstrate that the term is objectively defined and the category is likewise not biased. Dugwiki 22:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's obviously opposition to creationism, but since that is just a matter of post-Enlightenment opposition to supersition that should never be necessary in the first place, there is no "movement", and should not be. It is sad that there is still creationism out there that needs to be opposed, and in a more enlightened world this would be a non-issue by now. AshbyJnr 18:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep very ligitimate, and it is pretty clear what articles belong in this category.--Sefringle 03:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename to Category:Fictional characters with eidetic memory. Noted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 April 17#Category:Fictional characters with an eidetic memory for implementation when that is closed. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:Fictional characters with eidetic memory for consistency with the preferred medical/psychological terminology. Doczilla 06:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum. Additional reason to change name: Now that the CfD on real people has closed, this one needs to be renamed for consistency with Category:People with eidetic memory (see the CfD directly above this one). Doczilla 09:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this Category is being also discussed for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 April 17#Category:Fictional characters with an eidetic memory. Bencherlite 00:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is most disruptive. Given that the debate of the 17th is a deletion nomination I suggest this is left open until that result is known, after which the rename proposed here can be considered. Xdamr^talk 00:25, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. This one came first. If either were to be postponed, it should be the CfD introduced last, meaning the deletion proposal. Besides which, what's disruptive about it anyway? The name can change even if it only gets deleted a few days later. So what? (And I doubt it will get deleted. So far we have a consensus to rename, whereas the deletion proposal at this point looks like it's heading for no consensus.) Doczilla 09:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's disruptive insofar as we have to have this discussion, rather than simply closing the debate as usual - probably 'disruptive' was a little harsh, I meant it in its gentlest sense. (Note - I might have been slightly unclear, it is the nom of the 17th that I was largely referring to).

I agree with your reading of the later nomination, all I suggest is that we wait until that has closed—admittedly more for form's sake than because I believe that there is much of a chance of the 17th resulting in deletion, nevertheless there's little point in renaming a category which could be deleted a day or two down the line.

Rename: Category:Hurricane Katrina relief fundraising; that category doesn't even exist yet, so have a musical subcategory of it is pretty silly.

The result of the debate was rename Category:Members of the Liberal Party to Category:Mexican liberales (convention of Category:People by political orientation and nationality) which appears to address the case for deletion also. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was no such thing as a Liberal Party in Mexico. A liberal party, yes, but that was just a description for a group of people who happened to be liberal, it was not an organized political party where one could be a member of.
