Propose renaming Category:Building projects in Colombia to Category:Buildings and structures under construction in Colombia

Propose renaming Category:Buildings under construction in the United States to Category:Buildings and structures under construction in the United States

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To follow the standard naming convention in the tree for the parent Category:Buildings and structures. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In case anyone is wondering about the Colombia one given the nomination below. It has to do with the parents. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:46, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - how do these tally with the "Construction projects" categories further down todays CFD page -is there a reason for the difference? Grutness...wha? 01:35, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Film series by number of entries

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: delete all. — ξ ^xplicit 01:06, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]; Category:Film series by number of entries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs); Nominator's rationale: Completely random inclusion criteria; how is this a defining feature? I am tagging the subcategories as well, except Category:Film trilogies as films are sometimes deliberately made into trilogies (whereas I find it suspect that there are any media franchises constructed to be precisely seven films long.) Alternate proposal: Listify and delete subcategories, leaving this category with a few lists and Category:Film trilogies. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:04, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]; Addendum Note that there is Category:Film trilogies as well as Category:Film series with three entries. As I pointed out before, the former is a deliberate move and therefore could be a defining characteristic (I don't really think so, but I'm not going to bother fighting it), whereas the latter are just films that stopped being profitable after the third entry. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:06, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Subcategories: Category:Film series with three entries; Category:Film series with four entries; Category:Film series with five entries; Category:Film series with six entries; Category:Film series with seven entries; Category:Film series with eight entries; Category:Film series with nine entries; Category:Film series with ten entries; Category:Film series with more than ten entries

Previous discussion - found here from almost exactly a year ago. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - The number of films in a series is no more defining than the number of television episodes in a series. There is no encyclopedic relationship between the
Beethoven (film series) of six films about a lovable St. Bernard and the six films about illegal street racing in Japan that comprise the Megalopolis Expressway Trial, or between any of the other series that happen to include six films, or four films, or more than ten films or whatever. I believe that lists for these already exist, which strikes me as the best way to present this information. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply

Delete. I pretty much agree that this is trivia but I think it is the kind of thing fans might seek out. Cruft, in other words. It may belong on the internet, but I'm not sure if belongs on WP. Maybe lists are appropriate. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:34, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've worked a bit with the film series categories and I've always found this set of categories to be rather trivial and odd. There is no defining similarity between all film series that happen to have, say, eight titles in it: it is indeed just happenstance. Of course, films per year of release is equally arbitrary: but in that case, we're following a broad and established category tree. I don't see that here. However, we will need to address the top-level category

Agree that it's no more arbritary than year of release (compare two 2010 films A Serbian Film and the The A-Team for example ;-) ) Oh yes, delete, on being non-defining. Lugnuts (talk) 06:45, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Year of release is not arbitrary because it places the film in its historical context of time. Films that were released in the same year are related to each other because they were released in the same year. Number of items in the film series doesn't do anything like that. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 11:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even inclusion in this category is meaningless, arbitrary, and subjective, with any combination of theatrical, once-seen made-for-TV, and never-seen direct-to-video installments arguably qualifying. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 02:34, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Violence against Jews

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:Antisemitic attacks and incidents. — ξ ^xplicit 01:06, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is utterly redundant with Category:Antisemitic attacks and incidents and its well-developed subcategory structure. Pichpich (talk) 19:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/delete - I think the category creator may have been going for a separation of Jews from other Semitic people but that isn't how "anti-semitism" is used on Wikipedia. The contents should be in the parent attacks and incidents category. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:07, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
By all means, Delete per nom. I'm really scratching my head as to why this was created as a sub-cat of Category:Antisemitic attacks and incidents. If CoP's guess was correct I would have thought the creator would also have created some sort of sister category. Cgingold (talk) 03:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. --NortyNort (Holla) 13:16, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There's more info in this category, it is wider.Barrasita (talk) 21:08, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In what sense is it wider (broader)? If deleted everything in this category would still be under Category:Antisemitic attacks and incidents. --Bejnar (talk) 04:31, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep by all means this is neccessary, in fact my criticism is why it excludes Chrisrtian violence against Jews. Pichpic is utterly wrong, what about the violence before antisemitism became the terminolgy? The questuion is also why was that page vandalized and emptied out before any decision here?Salamaat (talk) 21:40, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that "Christian violence" is excluded from this or from Category:Antisemitic attacks and incidents. Who do you think perpetrated the Holocaust? Also, I fail to understand the rationale based upon when the term antisemitic came into modern usage. Do you have a problem with describing, in English, events that took place before the Norman invasion? --Bejnar (talk) 04:31, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And let's not overlook Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms, for Christ's sake. Cgingold (talk) 08:41, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear that Salamaat is somewhat confused about the proper use of Categories, as s/he has re-added a lengthy list of articles directly to the Category page, which had been (properly) removed by Pichpich. Cgingold (talk) 08:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion absent a clear rationale for keeping. --Bejnar (talk) 04:31, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Goon Show to Category:The Goon Show

Propose renaming Category:Goon Show characters to Category:The Goon Show characters

Propose renaming Category:Goon Show episodes to Category:The Goon Show episodes

Nominator's rationale: Rename - the series was called The Goon Show and the article is at The Goon Show so the categories should match. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 18:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Gay venues in Copenhagen to Category:Buildings and structures in Copenhagen

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Upmerge as OC small with limited growth potential. If we get a reasonable number in the future, then it can be recreated. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:03, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to both parents - to keep it in the LGBT culture of Denmark tree. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 18:28, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Building projects in the United Kingdom to Category:Construction projects in the United Kingdom

Propose renaming Category:Building projects in the United States to Category:Construction projects in the United States

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To bring these into alignment with the renamed parent, Category:Construction projects. And to follow the same naming for the tree. Note I created most of these to split countries out of the old category name. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:31, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:De Facto (band) albums, lest someone tries to categorize something in here that is not technically an album but is often treated as such, like an EP. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:57, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:De Facto (band) albums, to match the article. Note the article was renamed on June 3rd 2006, so this change is overdue. The names originally matched when I created the category. -- Prove It ^(talk) 01:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
