I didn't had the chance to give a comment on the thoughts and the decisions back then. Now I'm watching this page and can give you reasons for the namings. Note, that naming changes are not exactly the same as the earlier ones. --Kslotte (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Mountain bike races and events in the United Kingdom to Category:Mountain biking events in the United Kingdom. --Xdamrtalk 18:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Mountain bike races and events in the United Kingdom to Category:Mountain biking races and events in the United Kingdom
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Having the same naming conventions for all categories in Category:Mountain biking races and events. Additionally naming need both 'races' and 'events', since different type MTB disciplines have different naming (Freeride and Bike trials events; but for example 24 hour mountain bike races is a race). Kslotte (talk) 21:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to Category:People from Coatbridge and Category:Scots of Irish descent, as suggested at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 August 29#Category:Coatbridge irish. Fayenatic (talk) 20:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- I thought that is what was decided in previous CFD, but that actually related to a mis-capitalised version of the present one. It is a pity that this was nmot dealt with at the same time. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Military personnel killed in action

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: No Consensus. --Xdamrtalk 19:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Military personnel killed in action to TO BE DETERMINED
Nominator's rationale: The title is misleading as the category's description indicates that it includes not only military personnel killed in action but also those who died of wounds sustained during combat. Moreover, it seems unnecessary to categorize separately those who died on the battlefield versus those who died from wounds sustained in battle after reaching a medical facility. Perhaps a more accurate title would be Category:Military personnel killed in combat...? A second issue to consider is whether to include personnel who died of non-combat causes, such as disease, while participating in a war. (WikiProject Military history notified using {{cfd-notify}}.) –BLACK FALCON (TALK) 20:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Killed in combat" wouldn't cover post-combat death of wounds either, I think. Something very broad like "military personnel killed in wartime" might work, but then we'd need to consider whether we want to include or exclude edge cases like commanders assassinated (outside of actual combat) during wartime, soldiers executed by a court-martial, and so forth. Kirill [talk] [pf] 21:44, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Category:Military personnel with combat-related deaths maybe? The "with" is kind of an odd construction but does the rest of the suggestion move us closer? Otto4711 (talk) 07:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Casualty would be better as it covers those who died of illness etc. Casualty is used by Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Category:Military casualties? Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC) Sorry, I withdraw that - I should have read the description in the category. The cat covers those who died in action, or of wounds from action. That means it disregards those who died of illness. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Those who died of disease certainly do not count as KIA. The US uses this term, and I would suggest that the category should follow the definition given in the first paragraph of killed in action. This covers both those killed literally on the battlefield, and also those who subsequently die of their wounds. It would thus exclude the large number of British troops who died of disease on the Boer War and deaths from malaria in the Burmese campaigns of WWII. KIA is the recognised term. Though "killed due to combat" might be more accurate, I think we should stick with what we have. We may need a sister category for those who died of disease on campaign. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Hank Williams Sr. albums to Category:Hank Williams albums
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the article name Hank Williams. Tassedethe (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2009 (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. --Xdamrtalk 19:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:College houses of the University of Chicago (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Redundant category. Simply put, no college house of the University of Chicago has its own article, and so there is no need for this category. Every single page in this category is either a redirect to a Category: Residence halls of the University of Chicago or a residence hall with only one house. — DroEsperanto (talk) 14:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. The only houses that (kind of) have their own articles are those of the single-house dorms, for which the article is really on the dorm, not the house community. — DroEsperanto (talk) 21:21, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Guayaquil (canton seat) to Category:Guayaquil. --Xdamrtalk 18:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Guayaquil (canton seat) to Category:Guayaquil (city)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. It was not immediately obvious to me how this differed from Category:Guayaquil (canton). New name would be clearer English. Tassedethe (talk) 13:17, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Greeks in Serbia to Category:Serbian people of Greek descent. --Xdamrtalk 19:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Greeks in Serbia to Category:Serbians of Greek descent
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This could also refer to Category:Greek expatriates in Serbia, so rename to a less ambiguous title to match current contents. Tassedethe (talk) 12:02, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bahamian directors

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Bahamian directors to Category:Bahamian film directors. --Xdamrtalk 18:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Bahamian directors to Category:Bahamian film directors
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The current title is ambiguous, although the inclusion criteria state it is for "theatre directors". However the only entry is a Bahamian film director, so suggest renaming the category and altering the criteria. Category:Bahamian theatre directors can be created if needed.

Propose renaming Category:Great Northern Railway locomotives to Category:Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) locomotives
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match top category Category:Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) and to disambiguate from Category:Great Northern Railway (Ireland) locomotives. Tassedethe (talk) 10:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename all per nom. --Xdamrtalk 18:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Replace "scenographs" with the more common "scenic designers" as per the article Scenic design and Category:Scenic designers by nationality. Tassedethe (talk) 09:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Category:Lithuanian graphics to Category:Lithuanian graphic designers. --Xdamrtalk 18:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:Lithuanian graphics to Category:Lithuanian graphic designers
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Only content is a bio of a Lithuanian graphic designer, current title suggest "Graphic designs from Lithuania" or similar. Tassedethe (talk) 09:37, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Journalists killed while covering the war in Afghanistan

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 Category:Journalists killed while covering the war in Afghanistan to Category:Journalists killed while covering the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)'. --Xdamrtalk 18:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Journalists killed while covering the war in Afghanistan to Category:Journalists killed while covering the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
Nominator's rationale: The category description claims that the category "covers the Afghan Civil War, the Soviet war in Afghanistan and the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)", but we should not mix categories for different military conflicts. In any case, all of the journalists in this category were killed in late 2001 or thereafter, so they all died while covering the War in Afghanistan (2001–present).

Category:Military personnel of the Afghanistan War

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 all per nom. --Xdamrtalk 18:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:American military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:American military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:American military personnel killed in the War in Afghanistan to Category:American military personnel killed in the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:Australian military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Austrlian military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:British military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:British military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:British Army personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:British Army personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:British military personnel killed in the Afghanistan War to Category:British military personnel killed in the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:Canadian military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Canadian military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:Dutch military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:Dutch military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
  • Category:New Zealand military personnel of the Afghanistan War to Category:New Zealand military personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
Nominator's rationale: For consistency with the parent category, Category:War in Afghanistan (2001–present), and in order to clarify to which Afghanistan War (see War in Afghanistan) the categories are about. Note that my proposal does not involve using an en dash after "2001", even though the parent category does include an en dash, since past CfD discussions suggest that there is no consensus to use en dashes in category titles instead of regular dashes; see related CfD 2009 Aug 28 and related discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion#Dashes in category names. –BLACK FALCON (TALK) 00:11, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nonwar armed confrontations

The result of the discussion was: Delete. --Xdamrtalk 19:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Nonwar armed confrontations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: The scope of this category is much too broad for it to be a viable grouping. A "nonwar armed confrontation" could be understood to refer to "an armed confrontation other than a war"—a definition which would encompass even events that take place in the context of a war, such as individual battles—or "an armed confrontation outside the context of a war".
While the second definition is not quite as broad, it still would be too encompassing as it would include basically any armed confrontation (violent and non-violent) that takes place outside the context of a declared war or in which both sides are not formal militaries. So, it would include: riots, protests (even if protesters are unarmed, the police often are armed), law enforcement raids, shootouts between law enforcement and criminal elements, gang shootings, massacres of civilians, internal conflict that does not rise the to level of war (such as low-level insurgency), hostage crises, domestic disputes involving weapons, armed robberies, gunfights, armed repression by a state's security forces, and a host of other events whose only similarity is that they involved weapons outside the context of a war.
