Category:Internet vigilantes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete Unclear category with no apparent unifying characteristics of the people in it. Шизомби (talk) 21:21, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and upmerge articles to Category:Internet vigilantism where appropriate. Even with clear inclusion criteria, use of the term "vigilante" in a category name raises serious WP:NPOV & WP:BLP issues. I don't believe a suitable alternate name can be crafted, though I leave open that possibility. Even so, it's a small category, so the articles are probably best left in the parent cat in any event. Notified creator with {{subst:cfd-notify}} Cgingold (talk) 23:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment from creator I created this category because it seemed awkward to categorise individuals under the vague heading of "vigilantism" when all concerned were described as vigilantes. No strong opinion on the outcome of this discussion. Skomorokh 11:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The category makes sense. Why not distinguish, from Category:Internet vigilantism, those articles that refer to individuals? And why not distinguish, from vigilates in general, those who earned the distinction through use of the internet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LanternLight (talk • contribs)
• Delete. No inclusionary criteria; somewhat subjective application. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:52, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Timeline of sociology to Category:Sociology timelines

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Convention of Category:Science timelines. Tim! (talk) 18:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename works by me. Owen (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename, seems a convention and uncontroversial.--Lenticel ^(talk) 15:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge, as they are identical. If it's desired to get rid of both, the second one can be nominated as well. Kbdank71 14:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Icelandic footballers currently playing abroad to Category:Icelandic expatriate footballers

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorisation. Likely the creator is a fan of Icelandic football and monitors this page's content but having it can be taken as a precedent to start up like pages for each country and sport, and that such monitoring can be provided for every country and sport cannot be guaranteed. Category:Fooian expatriate footballers which lists Fooian footballers both past and present who are/have been expatriate is enough. Mayumashu (talk) 18:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per usual avoidance of 'current' categories. Occuli (talk) 23:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete OCAT and Current. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:18, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no need for current categories, a well sourced and maintained list would not be a problem. King of the North East 00:05, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Scania, etc. to match article. No consensus on disambiguation. I would think that "cat:Skane County" would take care of the disambig issues, but if someone is looking only at Cat:Scania without knowing about the county cat, they won't know if it refers to the province or the county. (On a personal note, I would recommend renomination for disambiguation). Kbdank71 14:28, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming

• Category:Skåne to Category:Skåne (province)
• Category:People from Skåne to Category:People from Skåne (province)
• Category:Sport in Skåne to Category:Sport in Skåne (province)

Nominator's rationale: to 'disambiguate' from Category:Skåne County (there are only these three cat pages) Mayumashu (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:Scania (etc.) as our article on the place is named Scania not Skåne (province) (a redirect). Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Kbdank71 16:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to Category:Scania (etc.) per Carlossuarez46 as the article has been at Scania since April 08. (The competing one is at Skåne County, so far.) Occuli (talk) 17:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment 'Scania' is a translation of 'Skåne', so the issue of disambiguating isn t settled. I d be fine with Category:Scania (province), Category:People from Scania (province), and Category:Sport in Scania (province) as well. Mayumashu (talk) 17:55, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Sports Club Dynamo to Category:SV Dynamo

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the main article, and to use the common, abbreviated name. The translated name is not in common use. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Reader's advisory (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

• Delete - This is an overly narrow category that really isn't needed, with only three articles and little likelihood of expansion. The articles are well categorized and don't require upmerging. Notified creator with {{subst:cfd-notify}} Cgingold (talk) 00:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - it should be changed to Readers' advisory if kept. Occuli (talk) 09:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
