Category:Canadian sports planes and Category:Canadian sports planes 1990-1999

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Keep. Vegaswikian 04:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal is to delete Category:Canadian sports planes and its child Category:Canadian sports planes 1990-1999. They were both created in October of 2004. Category:Canadian sports planes contains a single child, Category:Canadian sports planes 1990-1999, and this child contains only one article. I believe this strongly demonstrates unnecessary overcategorization as these categories have existed for over a year and a half but contain a total of only one article. Proposal is to move that article, Aces High Cuby, up to Category:Canadian aircraft, and delete the two categories identified. Kurieeto 23:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose They also fit into other hierarchies. The system in use here is excellent and it should be left in a complete state. Bhoeble 13:21, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above, but I will say that those pages have way too much setup templates for my taste. If you can't get to the articles by midway down the page, the page layout needs to be rethought. Just my opinion.--Mike Selinker 15:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete category and associated {{Featured essay}} template per nom. --Muchness 03:34, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. How about renaming to popular essays if featured is reserved only for official processes? Kind of like an essay barnstar for essays that are frequently cited at discussions on Wikipedia and the mailing lists. I also do not see what is bureaucratic about it. Loom91 05:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. First, unilateral creation of something like this without peer review is not a good thing since the use of featured article stars and the word "featured" give the impression that this is something official when it isn't. Second, I oppose featuring essays anyway since it gives the appearance that some opinions are worth more than other opinions. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename Per Loom91. "Featured" should be reserved for official. GizzaChat © 08:42, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Important Notice. I've renamed the template and the category to popular in order to avoid the connotations of officialness and peer review carried by the word featured. Moreover, the template and the category are explicitly meant to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. It does not say that a certain essay should be heeded or that it is a guideline (it is mentioned that the essay is NOT a guideline and is informal), only that it is popular and is often cited in discussions. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a way of pointing out some essays a Wikipedian should be familiar with, whether they agree with it or not simply because they are going to see a lot of it at discussions. I hope this is sufficient to resolve everyone's objections. Loom91 08:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Correction. I've renamed the template, but found that there was no move button for categories. I think the category should also be moved to Category:Wikipedia popular essays in accordance with the new name of the template. Loom91 09:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think that the idea of having more popular essays easily identified is a good one, as it is difficult for new wikipedians to identify which essays reflect widespread opinion and which reflect a minority opinion. However, I think there should be a location (the category talk page seems like a good one) where one can propose additions and without objection add them, or with objection reach concensus on whether to add or not. I guess I am for keeping the template and category with a discussion of the proper name/process (popular is better than featured, but still not completely satisfying - though I can't think of a better name) Trödel 13:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question to Deleters. If there should be an approval process, then could you give me some time to devolop a light system to determine which essays can be called popualr? This would not be a process to determine which essays are good, but which essays are popular, as suggested by the new name of the template. This will prevent redundancy with th Guideline process and stop long debates about the subjective issue of whether an essay is beneficial. I'll need some time to this so if you agree with my suggestion then I request that you don't delete right away. Loom91 07:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TWO Reasons: 1/ The much detail; this is about the word, not the band. What's next ? Bands who's name start with a Q ? Bands with Caps in their name ? Bands with symbols in their name ? 2/ The category talks about heavy metal bands (in its description and its parent category). Its name doesn't mention this. Bands like Amon Düül that are included aren't heavy metal at all : this category leads to confusion --LimoWreck 13:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious, how would a reader of one of the band articles know about the umlaut article, other than a "see also" link? Isn't a category a cleaner method?

Although the category does list criteria for inclusion, I still think this crosses the POV/Speculation line. I've already removed Angelina Jolie from this on the grounds that just because she acts contrary to accepted norms, that does not make her an established eccentric. That drew my attention to this category, and assuming very few people will read the criteria on the page, I just think it's impossible to maintain NPOV and avoid original research with this one. 23skidoo 00:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
