Nominator's rationale: I'd aim to have Category:Punk rock genres as a subcategory of Category:Punk rock rather than of Category:Punk. 068129201223129O9598127 (talk) 00:03, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Litigators

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 to delete; Category:Trial lawyers should perhaps be considered for merging into this category, or at least it should become a subcategory of it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:13, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Litigator is just a different word for lawyer. This category is superfluous to the category Category:Lawyers and the subcats within. Tassedethe (talk) 23:43, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (changed below, 11 June): Many lawyers (myself included) are not litigators. Transactional lawyers, patent lawyers, commercial lawyers, corporate/M&A lawyers, etc., do not identify themselves as litigators (even if some minority percentage of their practice involves litigation or litigation support). British solicitors are lawyers who do not necessarily litigate, and who aren't permitted to argue before a court. All U.S. lawyers are licensed to litigate before a court, but that doesn't make us practicing litigators. 108.52.24.93 (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC) (IP editor/lawyer)[reply]
To clarify: among U.S. lawyers, the term "litigator" is synonymous with "trial lawyer," not with "lawyer." Litigation is one of many areas of practice that a lawyer might choose to concentrate in. 108.52.24.93 (talk) 13:14, 10 June 2014 (UTC) (same IP editor/lawyer above)[reply]
  • delete If the term is synonymous with "trial lawyer", then merger would be in order. It has only a single member, however, and from what I gather he would be notable principally as an educator. Mangoe (talk) 19:18, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of the hundreds of lawyers I've worked with over many years, maybe 25% would call themselves litigators (or trial lawyers). It is a specialized practice. It is very distinct from the parent category of "lawyer." (Analogy: all surgeons are physicians, but most physicians are not surgeons, even though they learned something about surgery in med school.) Most lawyers are not litigators/trial lawyers. They practice other kinds of law. Please see Attorneys in the United States#Specialization. 2600:1002:B02A:47F0:F552:A2F:3C35:70D3 (talk) 20:40, 10 June 2014 (UTC) (same IP editor/lawyer above)[reply]
That's certainly because nobody has gone through and edited the category contents, not because there are no pages on litigators in Wikipedia. If it gets deleted, it should only be deleted pending someone willing to go through and diffuse lawyer articles into the litigator specialty. --Lquilter (talk) 21:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The rule is that you cannot delete a category by emptying it during the discussion, not that you cannot add legitimate members to it. But nobody is doing that, I'm guessing because they prefer the "trial lawyers" category. Mangoe (talk) 14:56, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: There is Category:FC Bayern Munich basketball players for basketball players from the same club. For the same reason like Category:FC Barcelona footballers this category should be renamed. Yoda1893 (talk) 10:33, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Now that all the individual articles (e.g. Polish months) have been converted to redirects to Slavic calendar per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serbian months, there is no longer a need to have this category which has only one element.
