This category in its curren state is bad for at least two reasons:

1. Current the category is a subcategory of only Category:Science fiction themes, yet the title of this category does not a priori restrict to articles related to science fiction — it could just as well be for articles about science or technologies in the real world in the past that was ahead of its time.
2. The category in its current state has only one article, and two subcategories: Category:Evil scientists and Category:Mad science. I haven't read thru the article to see how it would relate to the category, but the two subcategories would suggest this category is synonymous w/ Category:Mad science.

The second reason would indicate this category is in effect a duplicate and should be deleted. The first reason would indicate that if not deleted, this category should probably be renamed. 131.107.0.106 22:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was sort of a joke, people expect an encyclopedia to be correctly spelled. Therefore, "creative" spelling is quite literally unencyclopedic. It struck me as funny at the time... I guess you had to be there. My spelling isn't that good either, but I try ... -- ProveIt ^(talk) 23:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be unecyclopedic to use alternative spellings in a wikipedia article, until the revolution came of course. But what I meant was that I think the spelling preferences of wikipedians are relevant, even if in practice, they can only practice their cult on their user page. There are userboxes for people proclaiming that they prefer American English spellings and British English spellings, what about people who advocate freespel, but have the decency not to practice it on Wikipedia.

Keep or rename — "Women by country" would seem like a possible alternative. The Category:American women is perhaps a bad category to consider. Remember the situation varies sigificantly in different countries and cultures. In the United Kingdom for example, there are many sub-categories that fit in with this category, especially with respect to the historical class system. Should not such aspects and differences be documented by Wikipedia in a somewhat systematic way (whether you agree or disagree with them)? Bear in mind also that a significant amount of effort has been made in categorization for some countries. Look at Category:Japanese women for example. It would be good not to take a too nationalistic view in this decision. It would also be interesting to see the gender balance of those taking part in this decision. Perhaps whoever makes the final decision could check this as much as is and comment on it at that point (especially if male and if most of those voting are male :). Jonathan Bowen 11:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or rename as below Let's think through the consequences of allowing this category and its immediate sub-cats by considering one of those subcats

the category naming conventions and would effectively turn Category:American writers

into a male-only cat. The same would apply to all other professions for all other nationalities.

Fortunately this process has not gone too far as yet. What cats are currently in Category:American women are so far mainly those that can de facto only apply to women. However, those who are minded to feel that separate women cats are pro-feminist should note the predominance in many of the nationality subcats of "Fooian models" (factually incorrect in any case, as there are of course male models), "Fooian princesses" and "Fooian Miss World winners".

The cat was previously nominated for deletion on 6 January (see here) and though there was no consensus there was a 10/7 split in favour of deletion, and as the subject has come up again in the discussion on Category:Native American women below, it seems appropriate to look at this again as it is now 6 months later.

While most of the subcats and articles are specifically people cats and can without incident be placed in the appropriate "Fooian people" cat, there are a few which are about the life of women in a particular country. Category:Women of Pakistan, for example, contains Category:Women's organizations of Pakistan and Status of women in Pakistan - both useful, and both deserving of proper categorisation. As an alternative proposal therefore, we might consider renaming all subcats Category:Women in Fooland, removing articles and subcats about individual women and renaming the parent cat Category:Women by country. (Or "Women's issues in Fooland" etc. or some other similar formulation. Valiantis 20:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Most of the articles about golfers are about professionals. This is not a helpful category. Chicheley 20:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete We have a thorough categorization system for golfers in place already, which categorises them in several ways - nationality; tour; major championship wins; hall of fame membership. Around 95% of the articles about golfers are about professionals. Almost all professionals except a few early ones are in one or more of the sub-categories of
  LPGA Tour and are in category:LPGA Tour golfers. This category is almost entirely redundant and is not worth the trouble or category clutter. It only contains a few articles whereas there are well over two hundred each in two of the by-tour categories and dozens in several of the others. All notable contemporary professional golfers play on a tour. This category was set up by someone who shows no awareness that golf is played outside the United States. It isn't well thought out and should be killed off. Osomec 21:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

Has three entries, none of whom are Spanish and all of whom are British subjects. In each case one parent is said in the article to be Spanish, although there is no evidence cited, and no definition of Spanish - i.e. does it means someone born a Spanish national, or someone who had a Spanish ancestor? No definition is provided for the category. It seems to serve no encyclopaedic function. Preferably delete, or if it has to exist, rename 'British subjects with one parent said to be of Spanish descent', which seems the implicit basis for the entries.

To match other members of Category:Theatres by country -- ProveIt ^(talk) 15:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename using "Theater" or "Theatre". David Kernow 18:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC), amended 02:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename to Category:Theatres in Venezuela. And also rename Category:Theaters in Russia to Category:Theatres in Russia. If Category:Theatres in the United States is spelled with "re", every other one can be, too. -- Usgnus 23:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary and POV category created imho for the sole purpose of including some incidents that happened in Iraq. Anything "alleged" should not have a category as there can never be a npov criterium for including what goes in there and what does not. Potential to either become a pov pusher's magnet or huge list that would contain anything that ever happened in any war that was not prosecuted or even where there was no conviction of any war crime being comitted but where someone feels the facts are not represented truthfully.

• Would the current members of this category sit comfortably beside something like the Nuremburg Trials in a Category:War crimes trials category...?  Regards, David Kernow 18:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. POV and no objective criteria for inclusion or exclusion; the criteria set out in the category page are crystal-ballism: a "future trial appears likely".. What is likely? to whom? Gotta go. Carlossuarez46 20:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13065025 where a lawyer for Marines says “My purpose is to separate his name from the alleged war crimes that took place.” So an alleged war crime is not an imaginary thing. 203.173.153.74 14:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The current name is confusing. What in the world is an "acid-base"? —Keenan Pepper 05:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• rename per nom. 131.107.0.106 03:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - IANAChemist, so maybe I'm missing something obvious - but shouldn't these be two separate categories? We don't have Category:Solids and liquids, and this strikes me as the same sort of oddity. Grutness...wha? 06:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Based on what's currently in the category, it looks like the category is not quite "chemical substances that are acids or bases". Instead it seems more about the chemistry related to acids and bases, such as

buffering agent, etc. So I guess perhaps "acid-base chemistry" might be a more fitting name for the category, at least in its current state? 67.171.31.165 09:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

• Rename to Category:Acid-base chemistry as a way to discourage articles for individual acids or bases while clarifying the intent of the category. Alternatively there is Category:Acid-base reactions but perhaps that would be interpreted as holding only specific examples of such reactions. -choster 13:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like Category:Acid-base chemistry, that's a good idea. —Keenan Pepper 21:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Category:Acid-base chemistry is clearer to me as well. (Though I'm not a chemist.) --Elkman 21:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me, too. Grutness...wha? 00:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the CFD debate for Category:Dead rappers, Urthogie (talk · contribs) brought this category to attention. As I argued in the "Dead rappers" CFD, we do not have categories such as "Dead rock musicians" or "Dead writers". In addition to all the reasons for deleting the "dead rappers" cat, who's to say which entertainer is "underground" and which isn't? szyslak (t, c, e) 01:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
