  • Propose deleting Category:New York State Bar Association members
Nominator's rationale: First: This is redundant, since we have already Category:New York lawyers and a whole set of categories of different types of lawyers. Since most lawyers (or all nowadays?) are members of the local bar associations, it would be an unhelpful hold-all category. Second: Although most sources say "practiced law", I have very seldom seen a source stating that some lawyer was a "member of the bar association" (for the above reason, I suppose).

  • Propose deleting Category:New York City Bar Association members
Nominator's rationale: The same as abovementioned for State Bar. These two categories were made up yesterday by User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ). Then he added quickly a few names of lawyers who had been dead for decades when this association was founded... Kraxler (talk) 22:28, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:25, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: See "Category:Reservoirs in Canada" below, Wikipedia:Category names requires "manufactured objects" to use "in". Tradition seems to be that reservoirs fall under that classification, rather than "landforms". The Interior (Talk) 17:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, category policy says the opposite: "(Section:Landforms) "Categories of landforms by country are named "... of country"." from Wikipedia:Category names. The dividing line seems to be provenance, natural features get "of", man-made "in". The Interior (Talk) 22:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Petroleum economics and industry

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:25, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. According to the main article in this category and to be in line with the parent industry category. At the same time, it probably needs some cleanup to make sure that petroleum industry and economics articles are correctly separated between this category and Category:Petroleum economics. Probably also some recategorization between this category and Category:Petroleum production is needed. Beagel (talk) 17:17, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn by nominator. ([1]) – Fayenatic London 19:15, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For consistency within the Category:Bodies of water of Canada by province or territory group, this cat should use "of". Same goes for Category:Reservoirs in Quebec. All other waterbody divisions in Canadian cats use the "of" construction. The Interior (Talk) 16:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are right. Should have read Wikipedia:Category names, where "manufactured objects" get "in", while landforms get "of". So I guess the tradition is that the "manufactured landforms" get "in". The Interior (Talk) 17:27, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Female softball players

The result of the discussion was: Merge/Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:29, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Since softball is effectively played at a high level as a competitive sport by only women, a notable softball player is going to be, by definition, female. Therefore, this category effectively duplicates Category:Softball players and its category hierarchy and serves no useful purpose. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 16:00, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Loudermilk albums to Category:Gosling albums
Nominator's rationale: (note: target is speedy-cfr'ed for Category:Gosling (band) albums.) Same band, two names: no need for two categories. Possibly retain as a ((catredirect)) —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:42, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've always wondered how to cat albums by bands that have changed their name. Surely moving to the current name is incorrect for those early releases? Why can't both be retained? Lugnuts And the horse 09:13, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Response Because it's the same entity and there is only one article on the topic. A Silver Mount Zion chooses cutesy names for each new album--do you think it aids in navigation to have seven different one-article categories for each iteration of their name? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:02, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hehe, good pick with ASMZ! Hmmm, interesting point. I don't think it's a navigation issue - each category could have a hatnote to the band's next name. I think it's more a case of not re-writing history (albeit a tiny part of history). In this case, it would simply be wrong to move The Red Record to the category of Category:Gosling albums, as they weren't known by that name when they recorded that album. Maybe it's not important in the big scheme of things. Has this ever been raised at the Album Project before? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:09, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
