Category:285 corridor

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. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Not sure that we want to or need to use categories to list places along a section of a road. Category:U.S. Route 22 shows how this type of category is more normally used. Based on a quick look at the contents, I don't see being able to keep this following the US 22 model. Maybe if the restriction on the size was removed it could be kept and reworked to follow other examples. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:54, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy merge as duplicate. The Bushranger One ping only 18:07, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge, toponymy means the same thing, or at any rate is used in this category for the same thing. The categories were started independently in previous years, and linked only this year. – Fayenatic London 19:56, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename and restructure. delldot ∇. 23:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename, and restructure so that this becomes part of Category:Slang by language, and its current sub-cat Category:Pejoratives goes up into Category:Slang (with a "see also" link to it on the new category page). – Fayenatic London 18:10, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (C2A/C2C). The Bushranger One ping only 19:20, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename, following others in Category:Slang by nationality. Apart from Bombay Hindi, all the contents are words/phrases rather than languages. – Fayenatic London 17:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:

It looks like there's consensus for using 'television' at least when it doesn't create the duplicate 'Television television', so I did that where possible. I tried to pick the option that had the most support and least objection in each case. delldot ∇. 02:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:UKTV programmes to Category:UKTV television programmes
  • Propose renaming Category:Sky1 programmes to Category:Sky1 television programmes
  • Propose renaming Category:London Weekend Television series to Category:London Weekend Television television programmes or at least Category:London Weekend Television programmes
  • Propose renaming Category:BBC television programmes to Category:BBC Television television programmes
  • Propose renaming Category:BBC television programme stubs to Category:BBC Television television programme stubs
Nominator's rationale: The convention of Category:British television series by channel is "FOO television programmes", where FOO is the name of the television channel, in this case UKTV, Sky1, London Weekend Television and BBC Television respectively.

That sounds a lot better, and yet I don't think incorrect or inconsistant. --Qetuth (talk) 14:14, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. delldot ∇. 23:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To correct capitalisation in the title of the category, just like Category:RTÉ new media. BBC New Media is not a proper name. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:25, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Urdu is a language, not an ethncity. (There is the ethnicity Muhajir - I suppose all writers here are Muhajir and it could be Category:Muhajir fiction writers, etc., alternatively. Mayumashu (talk) 06:51, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • The soundtrack articles don't look particularly notable, so they can probably be redirected, which would bring it down to 4. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:48, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion - It seems a little strange to be merging/deleteing articles to get the category down to 4 so it's small enough to be deleted, when hundreds of siblings have 2 or 3 much smaller articles. But I agree the soundtracks should probably be merged into a music of daioh article or into the main article. I still think there is potential navigational value in the category system here, so what do you think of upmerging to Category:Kiyohiko Azuma? --Qetuth (talk) 14:11, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would not upmerge all the contents into the author's category. If this is deleted, it would be sufficient to put the main article in that category. There is already a navigation box Template:Azumanga Daioh which seems sufficient for navigation. – Fayenatic London 22:04, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
