Category:Featured Indian Articles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete Redundant as Category:WikiProject India articles and Category:FA-Class India articles exists. I have never seen such a cat on any FA before. --Redtigerxyz Talk 14:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I now see it has been created today so 'delete' as redundant. Occuli (talk) 19:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To elaborate: we already have to monitor what's contained in Category:Featured articles to catch and remove random user-'promoted' additions. It would be impossible to monitor an entire additional category scheme—which has the potential to be enormous—to ensure that only actual FAs are represented as Featured.

Propose renaming Category:GFDL to Category:?
Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure exactly what the purpose of this category is. It contains a few articles related to the GNU Free Documentation License, but most of its contents appear to have been added because they themselves are licensed using the GFDL. (It also has subcategories for GFDL-licensed sounds and images.) I'm not sure that we need a category for that - aren't *all* pages on Wikipedia licensed under the GFDL? Many pages have been placed here by Template:GFDLSource - perhaps that template shouldn't be adding articles to this category. Or perhaps the category should be renamed to reflect what it actually contains. Robofish (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Category:Capitals serving as first-level administrative divisions (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete Already listed at List of capitals serving as administrative divisions by country. Not particularly important or interesting enough as a category. Chanheigeorge (talk) 09:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, Île-de-France (region) is the first level administrative division of France that encompasses not only Paris, but a significant swath of territory well outside of the French capital. Paris is a department, a second-order administrative division. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well the departments have been there 200 yrs, & the regions about 5 minutes, so what is first-level or first-order, or more important, well, who knows. The Mayor of Paris is a vastly more important figure than the head of the Ile de France. Johnbod (talk) 02:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
