Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2012 March index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| "Numbered" categories | Delete | March 1 |
| Category:1889 establishments in the United States | no consensus. expanded rationale to follow | March 21 |
| 2 more ambiguous Townian Old Fooians | Rename | March 3 |
| Category:2011–12 Elitserien season by team | Merge/Rename | March 13 |
| Category:2012 in UK politics | rename. It's possible that the entire tree should be renamed to "United Kingdom" (spelled out), but if desired that should be another full AfD with all the cats under Category:Years in British politics. Until then, this has consensus that it should conform to the rest | March 29 |
| 3 Old Fooians | Rename all - | March 19 |
| Category:Abandoned Drafts | speedy rename with creator's consent . -- |
March 16 |
| Category:Accretion-powered pulsars | rename. The ones in the category are X-ray pulsars. It is not clear whether SWIFT J1756.9-2508 is, and if it is not, then the subcategory Category:Accreting millisecond pulsars should be removed from this category |
March 21 |
| Category:Actors of Shortcut Productions | Delete | March 28 |
| Category:African Film Festival of Cordoba-FCAT | already deleted | March 4 |
| Afro-Eurasia project categories | Delete all | March 5 |
| Category:Agapornis | Speedy rename C2D | March 1 |
| Category:Airfields of the United States Army Air Forces in Occupied Germany | Merge | March 15 |
| Category:Album covers by P J Crook | Rename, noting a Requested Move on the main article has closed at P. J. Crook | March 9 |
| Albums by city of recording location | Delete | March 7 |
| Category:Albums by recording artist and cover artist | delete. The delete votes make it clear that this is an unneeded triple intersection. We have covers categorized by recording artist and covers categorized by visual artist, and that should suffice. The subcategories are highly dubious, but they are not part of this nomination. I believe that they would be deleted or upmerged if they were nominated, though | March 19 |
| Category:AM Canum Venaticorum variables | Rename; revisit if main article is moved. I note no RM has been initiated | March 21 |
| Category:Amathusia | Speedy rename C2C/inverse C2D | March 15 |
| Ambiguous and uncommon Old Fooians | Rename all, per the modified/revised nom. - | March 9 |
| Category:American aviation films | keep. The nominator mentions a number of miscategorised articles, which can be dealt with through normal editorial decisions. If the result of fixing the miscategorisations significantly alters the viability of the category, feel free to promptly renominate this category | March 29 |
| Category:American Dad! Christmas episodes | Upmerge | March 15 |
| Category:American female pornographic film actors | keep. Although we do not generally differentiate actors by gender, there is consensus in this case that gender is a defining characteristic of pornographic actors, and that this is a case where "gender has a specific relation to the topic" per WP:Cat gender .Also, please may I make a plea to nominators of CfD discussions to specify what action they propose be taken with the categories which they have nominated. In this case, the nominator appears to have intended to upmerge the category to its parent categories, and it would have been helpful to have that spelled out at the start |
March 27 |
| Category:American pornographic film actors of Jewish descent | Delete | March 25 |
| Category:American pornographic film actors of Russian-Jewish descent | Upmerged & delete | March 25 |
| Category:Amusement rides with virtual queues | Delete | March 4 |
| Category:Ancient Georgian tribes | No consensus to delete; Rename to Category:Ancient peoples of Georgia (country) noting this is the predominant form in Category:Ancient peoples by country | March 7 |
| Anime films by year of first release | No consensus to upmerge; Rename | March 7 |
| Anime of YEAR categories | Speedy rename C2C | March 12 |
| Another 8 Old Fooians | Rename all - However, not implementing the rename for Category:Old Greshamians, due to several schools by the name, including a pre-prep school, a prep school and a senior school all on site, yet "Old Greshamian" seems to apply to them all. Feel free to immediately renom. - | March 31 |
| Anti-Catholicism | Keep | March 7 |
| Category:Archaeology artifacts of China | consensus to change "Archaeology"→"Archaeological", but no consensus to change "artifacts"→"artefacts". So the result is: rename to Category:Archaeological artifacts of China |
March 17 |
| Category:Arrests of journalists | No consensus to delete. Consensus to rename to Category:Journalists imprisoned for refusing to reveal sources & purge; revisit if necessary. There's several issues bouncing around the debate and a number of proposals for alternative names but the general feeling is that the scope should be more than just an arrest and that it should be focused on journalist activities | March 3 |
| Category:Art by P J Crook | Delete | March 10 |
| Category:Art gallery places | Rename to Category:Art gallery districts | March 18 |
| Category:Article alert report pages | Rename to Category:Wikipedia article alert reports | March 11 |
| Category:Article Alerts | Rename | March 11 |
| Category:Asian Badminton Championships | Rename. I note there has been no move discussion on the main article's talk page | March 8 |
| Category:Assamese actress | Speedy merge C2C | March 11 |
| Astronomy images | no consensus on proposed rename. It appears that there would be a consensus to rename the other sub-categories of Category:Astronomy images to the "Images of Foo" format, but since they have not been tagged that woukd require a separate nomination. Editors should feel free to start that discussion immediately, if they wish | March 21 |
| Astronomy unclassified categories | Keep all. Categories have been redefined to clearly indicate that they are for scientifically unclassified objects. (Note that Category:Unclassified star clusters is currently empty and thus C1 eligible, though.) | March 14 |
| Category:Australian NASA facilities | Speedy rename C2C | March 16 |
| Category:Automated Office Management | delete | March 29 |

| Category:Categories of athletics | Upmerge to Category:Athletics (sport) (Category:Athletics has been renamed during this discussion) | March 7 |
| Categories:Sport at Scottish and Welsh universities | merge/rename, but allow reopening of discussion. There is no question that we don't need both Scotland categories, but what the final name is may still be open to discussion. Let's see this opened again, perhaps with other categories of similar type | March 26 |
| Category:Celebrities who were born in London's St Joeseph's Hospital | Delete | March 12 |
| Category:Central Election Commission of Ukraine | Delete both | March 12 |
| Category:Chanbara anime and manga | Rename | March 16 |

| Category:Christian religious leaders | Keep & cleanup | March 17 |
| Category:Cigar makers | Split to Category:Cigar makers & Category:Cigar manufacturing companies. There's uncertainty on whether the former should be two or one words so for now leave at the current two works and a future CFD can settle that specific point | March 7 |
| Category:Cities and towns devastated by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami | Delete | March 11 |
| Category:Cities and towns in Chennai district | speedy delete ( CSD G4 : recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). -- |

| Category:Cold War units of the United States Air Force | Upmerge | March 15 |

| Category:Companies of Moldova by region | Merge | March 6 |
| Category:Companies with patent assets | Delete | March 13 |
| Category:Conference National players | Speedy rename C2D | March 12 |
| Category:Conservation-restoration | rename to Conservation and restoration. GOF and others frequently say that categories should match article names wherever possible. Well, in this case the category does match the article name, but the article name is not backed up by Google or any other method I could determine. RichardMcCoy is right that people in the field sometimes refer to themselves as "conservator-restorers" but the hyphenated "conservation-restoration" is far less common . So the proper course of action is to attempt to change the article name. If RichardMcCoy crosses his arms and stands in the way of that, because he says he knows so much more about this subject than anyone else, then that will be apparent to the closing admin. (It is certainly apparent to me.) |

| Establishments in London by year etc. | delete the container categories, upmerge the date-specific ones. There's a slight majority here for delete/upmerge, but what really puts that over the top is the amount of work it would require to make similar categories for other major cities. Should there be a consensus to make lots of city categories, this can be revisited | March 27 |
| Category:European Championship (darts) | No consensus | March 13 |
| Category:Events at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games | Merge | March 12 |

| Category:Glees | Speedy rename C2D. There seems to be some confusion about the modification recently made | March 12 |
| Category:Gondola lifts in Hong Kong | no consensus. It appears that there may be a consensus for upmerging all the national sub-categories of Category:Gondola lifts, but since only one of those categories was nominated here, that cannot be an outcome of this discussion.

| Category:Israeli electricians | delete. Category:Electricians by nationality and its other sub-cats should likewise be nominated, as I did not find a bio of any person who was notable for being an electrician. I have listified the current members at List of electricians, which strikes me as more useful.

| Manga of YEAR categories | Speedy rename C2C | March 12 |
| Category:Matrices | No consensus And, while not required, it sounds like before a new CfD is discussed on this concerning ambiguity, such a discussion about the article and dab page (Matrix/Matrices) might be more appropriate first. - | March 19 |

| Category:NGC objects | rename to Category:NGC astronomical objects. I don't see the support I would have expected for expanding the acronym, but the case for expanding the word "objects" is compelling to many of the commenters. There's not a clear majority for any one term, but "astronomical" seems to be the best choice. There are several other categories in Category:Astronomical objects that would occasion a similar treatment | March 15 |

| Old School | Rename all - Closing these all together, due to pretty much the same arguments throughout them all. None of the opposers are suggesting that the proposed targets are incorrect. One argues to maintain the the status quo; one suggests that "Old fooian" is more commonly known, and so should be used; and one on some un-named principle. Clear consensus to rename. - | March 6 |
