Category:People involved in the Soviet war in Afghanistan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Rename to Category:People of the Soviet-Afghan War, convention of Category:People by war. -- Prove It ^(talk) 23:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename, shortened name is better. _{Hydrogen Iodide (HI!)} 17:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. The convention of Category:People by war actually appears to be "People of [main article name]", and in this case the main article is Soviet war in Afghanistan. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... and the parent category is Category:Soviet war in Afghanistan. The main article and the two categories should follow the same format. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: cfdnotice placed at Soviet war in Afghanistan. --08:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs)
• Oppose. The name "Soviet war in Afghanistan" is considered the most NPOV version. Using another name would just invite more controversy, not worth it just to shorten the category name. --Raoulduke47 12:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename all. Kbdank71 13:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Rename them all to include the words "musical groups" at the end of the category name, as per Category:American black metal musical groups. Note that some albums are included in these sub-cats, when it's band specific. Lugnuts 18:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Given that, as you say, some albums are included, it's not really accurate to describe the categories as "X black metal musical groups". Either rename all - and the American one - to Category:Fooian black metal music or rename as above and move the albums to more appropriate categories. Grutness...wha? 22:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, or compare the sub-cats in Category:Death metal musical groups for what I think these sub-cats should be worded as. Lugnuts 09:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Accessories awards (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete without prejudice because it is unnecessarily specific at this point. Currently there is one entry in "Accessories awards", and that article is also categorized in the parent category, "Fashion awards", which has only 12 articles and need not be split at this point. lquilter 16:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Note, since nobody is picking up on this maybe there's some confusion. This category is dealing with fashion accessories. So it could easily be upmerged into parent category Fashion awards. --lquilter 17:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Geology prizes to Category:Geology awards

Nominator's rationale: Rename - Almost all other science awards are in form of "Subject awards", and not all geology awards are prizes per se. (Some are medals, some lectures, some honorary titles, etc.) lquilter 16:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Economics prizes, medals, and awards to Category:Economics awards

Nominator's rationale: Rename, Propose renaming "Economics prizes, medals, and awards" in keeping with the vast majority of other subject-based awards in "Subject awards" format. This is also in keeping with earlier discussions that consolidated Category:Prizes into Category:Awards, choosing "awards" as the broader and more generic term for all of those synonymous recognitions. (Either or both medals or prizes often accompany awards, as well as honorary lectures, etc.) lquilter 16:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename per nom. // FrankB 04:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename per nomination. The shorter name is better. EdJohnston 05:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Later punk groups (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Subjective classification - how exactly is this defined? What is later, or indeed earlier for that matter? Lugnuts 10:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - There is Category:Early punk groups which defines as "formed in the 1970s or earlier". Certainly there's informal use of these terms in conversation, but I'm not sure what the best way to split up the otherwise very large Category:Punk rock groups would be. Maybe by decade of formation? --lquilter 17:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vaníček analysis (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

• Delete. COI or not, it is unlikely that there will every be more than one article in this category. --Zvika 10:03, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. If it ever turns out that multiple articles are needed for this topic area, I wouldn't object to re-creation of the category. This should wait until such articles are written. EdJohnston 19:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - we have in general treated participants in reality television series differently from actors in series. The reasoning behind de-categorizing actors by series is that they tended to include any actor who appeared in a single episode of any given series, leading to massive category clutter on prolific guests. In the case of reality TV series, though, the participant in the vast majority of cases is only going to have appeared in one such series. Otto4711 14:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
