Category:People from Okinawa

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:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 April 20#Category:People from Okinawa. — ξxplicit 06:06, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:People from Okinawa to Category:People from Okinawa Island
Nominator's rationale: to disambiguate from Category:People from Okinawa Prefecture and as per article page Okinawa Island Mayumashu (talk) 15:43, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a need for both of these? How much does the prefecture include that the island does not- it's not crystal clear from the articles; which give a higher population for the Island than the Prefecture, which is obviously an effect of one number being from 2009 and the other from 2008.

Category:Companies based in New Albany, Ohio

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: merge to Category:Companies based in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area. There's a consensus here that the category should be merged to something broader, the debate revolved around what that would be. In light of the recent creation of the broad Category:Companies based in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area via another CFD, as noted by postdlf and Vegaswikian, this appears to be the logical solution at least for the time being. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose either:
OR
Nominator's rationale: This category is overcategorisation per per
WP:OC#SMALL (small with no prospect of expansion). New Albany, Ohio is a village with a population of only about 6 or 7,000, and is unlikely to many more notable companies. Either merge to the state category, or renaming it to serve as a by-county category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Computer hardware (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Empty category; however, a C1 speedy deletion was previously declined on the ground that this is a project category. In fact, the category should be deleted because it is incorrectly named; actual photo requests can be found at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of computer equipment and Category:Computing articles needing images.

Propose renaming Category:Compilations to Category:Collections
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Most of the subcategories use the term collection rather than compilation. Cjc13 (talk) 13:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The rename below would make it 4 out of 6 for collections. I think collection is the more general term, as compilation suggests some rearranging of the material, i.e. a more specific form of collection. In practice, compilation seems to be used mainly for music complilations, whereas collections or anthologies seem to be used for books and other printed material. Cjc13 (talk) 15:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. This functions as a collection of like named categories. Delete may well be the best choice. Collection and compilation are as expected dab pages! Vegaswikian (talk) 19:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Video game compilations to Category:Video game collections
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Most of the entries use the term collection rather than compilation. Cjc13 (talk) 13:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak not do - parent cat is "compilation" - also new name also suggests the possibility of "personal or museum collections of ..." rather than the "collated releases of ...." which I think is not quite intended.Shortfatlad (talk) 15:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Student ghettos to Category:Student quarters
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To meet
WP:NPOV and following the articles move for this reason. While the proposed name follows the name of the lead article, I think that Category:Student residential areas is a better name. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:58, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply
]
Do nothing (or alternative name propose) I agree that the name is not contentious, and probably common use. "Student residental areas" is acceptable - but perhaps caling Duck as Duck is better and clearer here - despite the vaguely emotive name.Shortfatlad (talk) 15:12, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:American activists and Category:American people of Palestinian descent. As noted, this category is not part of an established scheme within Category:Activists by issue; that being said, this discussion does not preclude the establishment of such a scheme. -- Black Falcon (talk) 07:26, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Palestinian-American activists to Category:American activists
Nominator's rationale: there is no precedent for catting activists by ethnic/national descent (it s the only such subcat of Category:American activists) Mayumashu (talk) 01:46, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Fan club releases to Category:???
Nominator's rationale: Fan clubs aren't just for musical groups or musicians, so it's not clear that this category strictly applies to musical releases. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disused railway stations in central London (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. London categories are geographically subdivided by the City of London and the 32 London boroughs, which is the lowest level administrative division. Central London is not an officially defined area and for the purposes of a historical category is particularly problematic as the definition has changed over time.

Propose merging Category:Songs with music by Mylène Farmer to Category:Songs written by Mylène Farmer
Nominator's rationale: Merge. A songwriter is some one who writes either lyrics or music, therefore any entry in the music category would be equally at home in the "songwriter" category. It is also overcategorization. Richhoncho (talk) 13:26, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Songs with lyrics by Bobby Troup to Category:Songs written by Bobby Troup
Nominator's rationale: Merge. A songwriter is a person who writes either lyrics and music, Therefore the sole entry in the 'lyrics by' would fit just as snugly in the songwriter category. Richhoncho (talk) 13:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - 'A songwriter is a person who writes either lyrics and music' - not always the case. A person who re-writes the lyrics to an old song is not the song writer. I'm not sure if that is the case with Bobby Troup. Regards,

Category:Financial information (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. An undefined category, which makes its meaning kind of vague. Seems to be for sources (newspapers, etc.) in which "financial information" can be found. Since financial information can be found in hundreds of thousands of sources, this probably isn't a good way to categorize. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:26, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
