Nominator's rationale: Apart from the required hyphen, these controversies are generally related more to (alleged) tenets of Islam (the religion) than Muslims (adherents of that religion). Compare also the name of Category:Islam-related controversies.  --Lambiam 20:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hi, I had a think about this very issue when I made the new categories - & I believe in these sub-categories the Muslim term may fit better. These categories are sub-categories of the larger Islam controversies category. However, these new categories are focused geographically at a more local level, and incorporate controversial actions & behaviour by Muslims directly - sometimes, individuals. Yes, of course the Muslims in question follow Islam, but the Euro category isn't about macro theological issues (within Islam) per se that the parent category (Islam related controversies) covers (like Islamism). The Europe topic especially is about Muslims doing Muslim things in a non-Muslim society - hence, the controversies that are generated. These controversies are often locally focused. Indeed, pages on Muslims individuals have long been housed within the wider Islam controversies category - but, they themselves aren't one-man theological disputes. Perhaps saying Islam related is semantics. Best, Tryptobieno (talk) 17:30, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    If you look at the individual articles in these categories, of course several involve viewpoints of or acts by Muslims, but in almost all cases they are Islam-related; in some cases because they describe acts motivated by an appeal to what the perpetrators think are tenets of Islam (e.g. the murder of Theo van Gogh), in other cases because they describe issues with (real or perceived) Islamist agendas (e.g. Islamic Forum of Europe). Articles like 2006 Idomeneo controversy and Fitna (film) do not involve any identifiable Muslims or Muslim behaviour. Likewise, for example, Category:Blood libel is a subcategory of the aptly named Category:Judaism-related controversies; even though the blood-libel canard supposedly involves behaviour by Jews "directly", Category:Jew-related controversies would be a misnomer.  --Lambiam 18:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Support rename Excellent rationale, thank you. Best, Tryptobieno (talk) 04:21, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep, but reassort articles as needed.--Mike Selinker (talk) 19:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Human migrations to Category:Human migration
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Are these a duplication, or were they meant to be different? Either way it would be simpler if they were merged, whatever subtle difference there was between the two has been lost Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 20:35, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Westlife category to Category:Westlife
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the naming conventions of other eponymous categories within Category:Categories named after musical groups. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 19:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Psychiatric nursing organisations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Over-categorization: there is only one page in this cat. Generally, there is only one specialty organization per specialty. All other specialty organizations are grouped under Nursing organizations. This one needs to be deleted. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 17:02, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Overcategorization. If ever more specialty organizations get articles (most of these specialty organizations are also national, so there may be French, German, etc organizations) the category could be recreated. --Crusio (talk) 18:42, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I created this category and I agree that it is an overextension of categorization. I'm happy so long as the Category: Psychiatric nursing is retained. - I'm sorry for putting a hang-on tag on this particular category. FiachraByrne (talk) 18:52, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Film Project redirects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Television Project redirects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: These categories were created to contain redirects that fall under the scope of WikiProjects Film and Television. Toward this end, however, they are neither accurate nor necessary. They are not accurate because the scope of their member categories exceeds the scope of the WikiProjects. For example, categories for redirects from fictional characters and elements are not limited only to the mediums of film and television, and their scope can extend to classical literature, comics, radio and web fiction. They are not necessary because a system for categorizing redirects by WikiProject already exists—where enabled, "class=Redirect" in WikiProject banners (on the talk pages of redirects) populates a WikiProject-specific subcategory of Category:Redirect-Class articles—and it was decided, in a recent discussion, that there is no reason to develop a new system. -- Black Falcon (talk) 07:27, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Comics article redirects to Category:Comics redirects
Nominator's rationale: Per the "Foo redirects" convention used in Category:Redirects by topic and by the subcategories of this category—e.g. Category:Comics redirects with possibilities. -- Black Falcon (talk) 07:11, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Redirects to Nintendo-related topics (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: It does not seem useful to categorize these types of redirects in this manner. To quote a comment on the category's talk page:
In examining the category's contents, it appears that there is no need even to relocate the redirects to another category, since the targets of the redirects are properly categorized. It may be useful to categorize, for example, redirects from fictional characters to lists of characters—where the redirects could be placed in subcategories of Category:Fictional characters—but it is not necessary to do this for redirects from alternative titles, such as Nintendo Wii → Wii.
If there is no consensus to delete, then rename to Category:Nintendo redirects per the "Foo redirects" convention of Category:Redirects by topic. -- Black Falcon (talk) 07:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Composer redirects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: The occupation of the target article's subject is a sub-optimal way to subdivide and organize redirects. The fact that the subject of the target article is/was a composer says nothing about the redirect: what purpose it serves or in what way its title differs from the title of the target. See the similar discussion for Template:R to poet, which ended with the deletion of the template and Category:Poet redirects.

The result of the discussion was: Upmerge; although it seems that it can be recreated once there are more pages to go here other than just the one (List of fictional crime bosses). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Lists of fictional criminals to Category:Lists of fictional characters by occupation
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Only one article in category. I suppose someday we might have List of fictional jewel thieves, but in that eventuality we could recreate this. Matchups 03:31, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with nom, since there's only one. - Ruodyssey (talk) 04:42, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WikiChiro Bureaucrats (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete There are only 3 bureaucrats on WikiChiro [1] and chances are they already know one another. So this category is not particularly helpful. Pichpich (talk) 00:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
