Propose deleting Category:GA-Class Iron Maiden articles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete Such categories are usually there to help WikiProjects (or task forces) in maintaining articles. But there currently is no Iron Maiden project or task force and no Category:Iron Maiden articles by quality. Pichpich (talk) 15:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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 without prejudice to breaking out by country and, if needed once enough by-country categories are created, by continent. Omce there are enough. That is not now.. The Bushranger One ping only 03:01, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Fire departments of Asia to Category:Fire departments
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge Bot this category and the parent category are still very small so the continental subcategorization is more annoying than helpful. Of course I expect that at some point in the future we will be happy to create this category once again but right now, we're better off without it. Pichpich (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Court systems

The result of the discussion was: No merge - the term "judiciary" considered to be ambiguous. - jc37 06:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Court systems to Category:Judiciaries
Nominator's rationale: Propose Category:Court systems to be merged/renamed Category:Judiciaries and the contents of both Category:Judiciaries and Category:Court systems by country be included in a new Category:Judiciaries by country as a subcat for Category:Judiciaries. Reasons: (1) The article Court systems is redirected to Judiciary. (2) The article in Judiciary says that "The judiciary (also known as the judicial system) is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law in the name of the state." (3) Dictionaries also define judiciary as a system of courts and judges collectively: [1], [2], [3], [4]. (4) I can only find 1 article with multiple articles (Courts of the United Kingdom and Judiciary of the United Kingdom) which says the same thing and ought to be merged as well. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 05:30, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that only a few countries (Finland & Iran) share the Swedish scenario (where they include the law enforcement/prison as part of their "judicial system". In any case, I think those articles can appropriately be categorized under one category. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 03:54, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I dont think the issue of distinction btwn judges and judicial system arises here. There is already a separate category for judges: Category:Judges. But/And if we look at most, if not all, the related articles (judiciaries of - , judicial system of -, court system of-) you can't escape defining the role, functions, names, types, etc of the judges sitting in the courts of those countries. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 03:54, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would support a reverse merger. "Court systems" is unambiguous, but "judiciaries" has two meanings, so let's use the unambiguous terms. --11:12, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I think you got it the other way round. The dictionaries define "judiciary" to include the system of courts: [5], [6], [7], [8]. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 03:32, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:SpaceX space launch vehicles

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: Rename. If the various category trees need broadening/branching in the future, that can be considered at that point. - jc37 06:54, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:SpaceX space launch vehicles to Category:Falcon (rocket family)
Nominator's rationale: Contested speedy. Constesting IP claimed that Falcon missiles could be a possible source of confusion, but per WP:COMMONNAME those are the Falcon missile family, distinct from the Falcon rockets.
copy of speedy discussion
  • Category:SpaceX space launch vehicles to Category:Falcon (rocket family)
    • Oppose there are many Falcon rockets unrelated to the SpaceX ones. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 04:48, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment The SpaceX one is the only "family" or rockets though. --W. D. Graham 06:35, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • As pointed out, while there are Falcon missiles, this is the only Falcon rocket family. - The Bushranger One ping only 06:57, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • If additional disambiguation is needed in the future, Category:Falcon (SpaceX rocket family) can be used. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
            • Falcon (SpaceX rocket family) is quite OK with me. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:00, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
              • I would prefer it to be moved to category:Falcon (rocket family), we can always move it again in the future if the need arises; if not the title in the original proposal would be better for consistency. --W. D. Graham 08:09, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
            • Category:Falcon (SpaceX rocket family) or Category:SpaceX Falcon (rocket family) is good for me. And the missiles pointed out are rockets, not jet-powered missiles. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 09:29, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
              • To clarify my position, I would oppose putting in the manufacturer name unless a second family of rockets named Falcon, with a category, and not more commonly referred to as missiles, can be demonstrated as a source of further ambiguity. I strongly believe that the SpaceX Falcon rockets are by far the most common usage of Falcon (rocket family). --W. D. Graham 10:00, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the nice things category, a missile is an object directed at a target, a chocolate can be a missile and someones mouth can be the target, generally anything can be a missile if it is propelled towards a target. A rocket spews gas and so forth. A missile can be propelled by your hand or by a rocket, but a rocket cannot be propelled by a missile, and propelling a rocket with your hand will send you to the burns unit at the local hospital.
When readers want to know about the Falcon rocket, I'd say they are looking for their space-x related thingy, so send them to the family of rockets, not missiles, as we say it's the Soyuz, or the Soyuz (rocket), the Proton (rocket) and the lovely R-7 (rocket family). So top level category starts with most common term, as proposed, and across in the military category, you'd pop in the term military or weapon, or just Falcon (NASTY) as you please, the R-7 family illustrates that sort of thing.
In a nutshell, the original proposal is correct, but as it is a US design, further launch delays can be expected. Penyulap 00:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
