Category:Police brutality in England

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) 09:28, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Although this page recently had its own discussion (May 31) resulting in "Keep", that did not prejudice a simultaneous discussion on the wider category scheme (June 1), which closed with a decision to listify all the others. This category has now been listified at List of cases of police brutality in the United Kingdom. I believe that this separate nomination is now procedurally necessary to delete this category. – Fayenatic London 20:32, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. The Bushranger One ping only 04:47, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This essentially duplicates the aerosols category, and is redundant now that I have cleaned up the distinction in the categories between the spray cans (Aerosol spray) and the suspension of particles in a gas (Aerosol). NHSavage (talk) 20:12, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay - added this back to all articles where I replaced it. --NHSavage (talk) 09:11, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Industrial districts categories

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) 09:26, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Inappropriate topic for categorization. The concept of industrial district that was used to classify articles is not a "defining characteristic" of the articles placed in these categories -- and is not itself clearly defined. Thus, it does not meet the test defined at WP:Categorization, i.e., that categorization of articles should be based on "the defining characteristics of a subject of the article". Additionally, the places that have been added to these categories do not meet the test of being commonly and consistently defined as "industrial districts". The categorization concept might have merit in some individual countries, as suggested in discussion that has occurred at Category talk:Industrial districts in Russia, but it is not meaningful as a global category hierarchy.

Nominator's rationale: Doesn't seem like a very useful category. Perhaps it was emptied out of process. In any case, it's not needed. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2D. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:23, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This would be an open-and-closed C2D case, except the article for this institution is somehow a redlink still. Renaming the category to the actual name of the institution the category is for alumni of. The Bushranger One ping only 06:28, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I just now created the article Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of Theology. --Orlady (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per Religious Society of Friends being moved to Quakers, possibly speedy. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:38, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Quaker universities and colleges for consistency with Category:Quakers and categories such as Category:Methodist universities and colleges. The "Universities and colleges affiliated with..." construction is needed only if the denominational grouping includes multiple denominational organizations, such as is the case with Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the United Methodist Church and other subcategories of Methodist universities and colleges. --Orlady (talk) 12:29, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
