Suggest merging Category:Solar energy by territory to Category:Solar energy
Nominator's rationale: Merge. I'm not convinced that we need this extra level with a name that is ambiguous and confusing. Upmerge to parent. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Category:Musical groups by nationality and genre and Category:Musical groups by genre and nationality. Both seem useless to me. There are already categories Category:Musical groups by nationality and Category:Musical groups by genre. Someone's misguided attempt at over-categorization. Cosprings (talk) 23:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to add Category:South African jazz albums to this discussion since it appears that the nominator emptied it out of process. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also note that these categories have not been properly tagged. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also add Category:Jazz music groups when these are correctly nominated. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:27, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also add Category:Organ trios when the first ones are correctly nominated. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would guess that Category:Jazz music groups is redundant with the more developed Category:Jazz ensembles. Category:South African jazz albums is the intersection of Category:South African albums and Category:Jazz albums; Category:Jazz albums by nationality has not as yet got very far. Still, these are matters for cfd. Occuli (talk) 00:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Syria at the 2008 Asian Beach Games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Syria at the 2005 Asian Indoor Games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. In each case, there is one short article which would fit into that category, with the same title as the category. Syria won 1 medal at each games, so it seems unlikely that there will be enough further articles to fill a category in each case.thisisace (talk) 22:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:One Network (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. The network has been broken up, due to its takeover by another company. The article The One Network, which describes this, is now in Category:Former British radio networks.thisisace (talk) 21:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. However, I'd also like to point out that at some point recently, an anonymous user also blanked the article about the topic, leaving only the "who took over all the old stations" part. The fact that we no longer need a category for this doesn't mean that we no longer need an article about it, given that people might legitimately still want information about what this was.

Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: Rename - I would like to propose a newly renamed categories. These categories will be renamed to just Chatham-Kent. I already read about renaming and move the article to Chatham-Kent on the talk page. And one user already apologize for renaming without it's discussion or permission. So right now it is already agreed by some users to renaming to Chatham-Kent. According to Chatham-Kent's talk page. All those Chatham-Kent categories will be renamed without including the province name. Steam5 (talk) 19:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We can't have Chatham-Kent and Category:Chatham-Kent, Ontario, either. Bearcat (talk) 21:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We can - categories often need to named more clearly. The article has a disam header & the 1st line makes the subject clear. This could be repeated in a category, but people using categories look at the contents rather than the small print imo. But I think the article would be better moved back. Johnbod (talk) 22:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, we can't; it creates more confusion than it fixes. If you ever end up with a situation where the city's head article and its associated categories actually have to be named differently from each other, it doesn't mean there are genuinely different issues to consider — it means you're doing something wrong and one of the two titles needs to be changed.
The thing is, unlike an article, it's really, truly, flatly impossible to get to a category by accident: you can only get there either through an article, which has already made the context obvious because the article provided the detail you mention, or by navigating the category tree, which has already made the context obvious because you can't get to it without branching your way down a succession of categories that included "Canada" and/or "Ontario" in their names. So it's simply not possible for the same name to be more ambiguous in a category than it is in an article title — while you're right that the category doesn't necessarily explain itself, you can't get to it without that explanation already having been provided to you before you even got there. Bearcat (talk) 01:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But one can easily place articles inadvertently in the wrong category (without visiting it, eg using Hotcat) if the names are imprecise, as happens regularly with Category:People from Birmingham. This is not a risk to which articles are susceptible. Occuli (talk) 19:46, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The reason that even happens at all is precisely because there's an article-title-to-category-name mismatch. And articles are, in fact, susceptible to being mislinked. People frequently link to incorrect topics — either disambiguation pages or articles about the wrong thing entirely — in body text, which is even less likely to get caught promptly than a category misfiling is. Bearcat (talk) 17:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We have plenty of categories not matching their main article, eg many US cities. Category:People from Birmingham usually contains a motley crew (4 at present). Category:People from Chatham should be renamed or repurposed whilst we are on the topic of Chathams. Are we really suggesting Category:People from Chatham, Kent and Category:People from Chatham-Kent? Occuli (talk) 22:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but I'm afraid it's you that doesn't get the point. Most of these people seem to want "Chatham-Kent" moved back to "Chatham-Kent, Ontario" because the difference with "Chatham, Kent" is too subtle. This would then also match the existing categories. I don't care one way or the other, so don't debate me on this. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:47, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My point exactly. The difference between Chatham, Kent and Chatham-Kent would be lost on most readers. As such, the Ontario place needs disambiguation. Grutness...wha? 01:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Adelaide Rams rugby league players to Category:Adelaide Rams players
This didn't work for some reason. There is a multitude of categories to be re-named, to which I added what I thought was the right template, but they aren't appearing here. They are most (but not all) the subcategories in Category:Rugby league players by club.
Nominator's rationale: Rename. No need to specify the sport in team player categories, as per this discussion. Jeff79 (talk) 13:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:94.7 MHz FM Radio Stations in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:87.9 MHz FM Radio Stations in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete or at least rename. Is this a good way to categorize radio stations? I'm not convinced that it is. Currently these are the only two categories in this scheme. While you could argue that frequency of a radio station is defining (how else would one find it on a radio if the frequency was unknown?), I'm not sure there is much utility to grouping radio stations together by frequency, since they will have nothing else in common and will of necessity serve different markets. At the very least, we need to reduce the caps on "Radio Stations" to "radio stations" for these two categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
