Propose renaming Category:Missions to asteroids to Category:Missions to minor planets

Nominator's rationale: This one was part of last month's renaming of Category:Missions to the planets, but was one that didn't quite reach a full consensus as to its name (aside from the need to split it from the missions-to-comets category, which has, obviously, been done). I believe that this should use the "minor planets" naming, as it is more scientific and more inclusive than "asteroids". The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:38, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. When I closed the referenced discussion, I didn't see consensus to change asteroids to minor planets, and I think I understand why. There is something very clear about the missions that are described as going to asteroids. The definition of minor planets includes a very wide range of objects, and it seems uncomfortable to lose the specificity of the simple term "asteroids." I'd probably keep the asteroids category and make it a subcategory of a new Category:Missions to minor planets. I'm not wedded to that opinion, though.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:59, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Supercategorize to become Category:Missions to small Solar System bodies, with subcategories to main-belt asteroids, Trans-Neptunians, comets. 70.24.244.248 (talk) 06:23, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm. That's a thought, but "small Solar System bodies" is a bit ambiguous. However, Mike's suggestion of creating Category:Missions to minor planets as a supercategory would work - with the Pluto missions subcat under it as well, as dwarf planets are also minor planets (but comets are not). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Small Solar System body seems to be the term of art.- choster (talk) 19:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Except nobody will know what it means. Also, "small solar system bodies" excludes dwarf planets, while "minor planets" includes them. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:49, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Per the above comments of Mike's, I am Withdrawing this nomination. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:49, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Upmerge per nom. Ruslik_Zero 19:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Genderqueer pornographic film actors

Nominator's rationalte: There is only one person in this category. It would be better to simply put the person in question into the Category:Genderqueer people and Category:LGBT pornographic film actors. I would not be against recreating this category if there were a reasonable amount of articles that could fill it appear in the future. Asarelah (talk) 02:39, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per a thorough reading of Wikipedia:Overcategorization and WP:SMALLCAT. Occuli (talk) 04:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and speedy close - flawed nomination rationaile. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Commonwelath countries send High Commissioners to each other instead of ambassadors. This is not WP:OCAT. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:23, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This fits as part of the general exception for established categories. Also, there are certainly more notable people who have either not been tagged with this category or not had their articles created yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:01, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Category:Permanent Representatives to the United Nations. Does the nom have some problem with Trinidad and Tobago? Occuli (talk) 04:15, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and speedy close - a little hard to assume good faith here. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:05, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
