Propose renaming Category:Military lists of Korean War to Category:Military lists of the Korean War

Propose renaming Category:Don Kirshner albums to Category:Kirshner Records albums

Nominator's rationale: Rename. The album in this category is on Kirshner Records not on a label called Don Kirshner. However, because there is no article for Kishner Records (only a redirect to Don Kirshner), and little info about the label in the target article, I have no objection to deletion of the category.

Delete We have no Kirshner Records article.Curb Chain (talk) 06:10, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As there is no main article for the record label. I'd be willing to keep if it redirected to a larger record label and this was a subsidiary, but to a person, I'm not as comfortable. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:28, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:27, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Category:Dioceses of the Roman Empire to Category:Civil dioceses of the Roman Empire

Rename Category:Dioceses of the Byzantine Empire to Category:Civil dioceses of the Byzantine Empire

Nominator's rationale: Most people associate diocese with ecclesiastical government. This category, however, only relates to civil government. They have erroneously been attributed to the parent cat Category:Dioceses in Europe. Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support rename and recommend a clarifying note at the top. Mangoe (talk) 20:23, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:San Andrés, San Andrés y Providencia

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. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:26, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete as overcategorization. The category is basically empty and the parent Category:Populated places in San Andrés y Providencia has a single article which is also San Andrés, San Andrés y Providencia. Even the grandparent Category:San Andrés y Providencia is very small so breaking it down into tiny pieces seems counterproductive. Pichpich (talk) 15:26, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per G7. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Superseded by more appropriately name Category:Works by William Haselden. Rcbutcher (talk) 12:28, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Indian Maoists

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. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:36, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is problematic as the terms 'Maoism' and 'ML-Mao Tse-tung Thought' are strictly kept apart. It is only in recent year that a major stream has begun to self-identify as 'Maoists'. People from the tradition of UCCRI(ML), PCC, CPI(ML), CP Reddy, Liberation, etc., staunchly reject the term 'Maoism'. Categorizing that Charu Majumdar was a Maoist essentially means siding with the CPI(Maoist) is a polemic over history. Soman (talk) 07:31, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Heads of state aviation to Category:Air transport of heads of state

Nominator's rationale: This category has...well, a truly awkward name. Thing is, I really can't think of a better one, so the suggested target is more or less a placeholder at the moment - suggestions please. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:02, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the category should tie in with Category:Royal vehicles which has subcategories relating to presidential vehicles. Hugo999 (talk) 13:24, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support "Heads of state" covers both royal and presidential so is superior to "Royal and presidential". Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:United States Fifth Amendment due process case law to Category:United States due process case law

Nominator's rationale: Merge. I am the creator of this category. It was a mistake. Due process cases should be categorized as due process cases, regardless of whether the operative clause was in the 5th or 14th amendment, i.e. whether the federal or state governments were at issue. The doctrinal differences between 5th and 14th amendment due process are negligible, if they exist at all. Distinguishing between these cases should be done by list, if at all, not by category.
