Nominator's rationale: There is no main article for this genre and the section on it explicitly states how it's ill-defined. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:29, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename - jc37 04:32, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
added 7 October by BHG
Nominator's rationale: Rename per convention of Category:Lists of biota by country. This may appear to be eligible for speedy renaming per speedy criterion C2C, but most of the other subcategories have been recently created by me, so I think that a speedy would be inappropriate.

Category:American country musicians

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: Thanks for making me clean up the whole damn thing myself. I really appreciate all the help.
Nominator's rationale: Seems redundant. Everything here is already in Category:American country singers as well. Is a singer not a musician? (Also, if they play another instrument, they should already be categorized by what they play, such as Category:American country guitarists.)

  • Then why not pare to only the subcategories? It seems redundant for a singer to be categorized as both "singer" and "musician" if their only instrument is the voice. And it's not like there are any musicians known for playing and instrument that a.) is not the voice and b.) doesn't already have its own category. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 13:13, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's routine category maintenance, which should happen as a matter of course. A lack of diffusion is not grounds for deleting a container category.
    If you think there is a backlog of diffusion, then the good news is that you got the job :) --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:17, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. except rename Category:Region of Waterloo, Ontario to Category:Waterloo Region. I've combined these because they all amount to the same discussion.--Mike Selinker (talk) 14:57, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Regional Municipality of Waterloo categories[edit]
In my past speedy nominations, Most of the speedy nominations for the Ontario census division categories was speedy renamed to match and follow the main article by using C2D with no objection in the past. Steam5 (talk) 18:28, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It may well be that those moves should have been challenged too. If these nominations are closed as "keep", I'll see whether any of the other should be nominated for moving back to the short names. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:13, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The nominator is correct that the categories absolutely should match the article title, but in this case there is significant doubt that the article itself is properly named. While "Regional Municipality of X" is the legal and official name for regional upper tier municipalities in Ontario, the most common name is almost always "X Region" (and, in fact, the regional governments themselves, IIRC, use the shortened versions of their names). This, and the related, category renaming discussions should be held in abeyance, and the affected articles should all be made subject to one RM. The ultimate decision here would depend on how the RM for the articles goes. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:49, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
