  • Not Deleting. As you know, or should know, book+tv series+movie Painter of the Wind ( 바람의 화원) are about paintings of the Joseon period in Korea. The aim of this category is to identify all the paintings which are alluded to, as well as to compare the way they are alluded with the historical facts. The number of the involved paintings seems to be greater than 40: therefore OC#SMALL is irrelevant here. Pldx1 (talk) 09:03, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles

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. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:33, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The proposed title better reflects the scope of the category—administrators who will consider, but are free to decline, requests for copies of deleted articles—and the convention within Category:Wikipedia administrators by inclination. There is a talk page archive that might need to be moved manually. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:44, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. A comprehensive set of lists already exists at Category:Soap Opera Digest Awards. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale This seems to violate the rule against categorizing by award. I read through the article on the award and really saw no evidence that this is a prestigious enough award to be an exception to the general rule. We already have a list so do not need to listify.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:37, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (all contents are in the appropriate parent categories).--Mike Selinker (talk) 08:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OC#SMALL. There are only two/three pages in the category and there will be certainly no more articles for the category. Armbrust The Homunculus 15:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Republican holders of the role of pontifex maximus

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 to Category:Pontifices Maximi of the Roman Republic. This may not be the best phrasing, so it's open to renomination. But it's an improvement on the current phrasing.--Mike Selinker (talk) 16:15, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Republican holders of the role of pontifex maximus to Category:Republican Pontifices Maximi
Nominator's rationale: Rename. More succinct, plural form per Pontifex Maximus. Brandmeistertalk 15:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't insist, but scholar sources show that Pontifices Maximi is an acceptable form in English: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Btw, aside from Latin words with English endings like referendum, there are those with original endings, like dictum (plural: dicta), tumulus (tumuli), etc. Brandmeistertalk 00:56, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This last proposal is neither English nor Latin. It would be the equivalent of saying "Greats prezident of the United States". "Maximus" is an adjective; in anglicizing, it's the noun that has to be plural, since most adjectives in English don't change their form from singular to plural. I just don't think pontifex has become sufficiently anglicized to make an English plural from it (pontifexes?). The English translation is Pontiff, as in College of Pontiffs—but then what do you do with "Maximus"? So the situation is not like a Latin word that's in regular English usage. It's more a technical term for which no English equivalent exists. Peterkingiron's proposal seems to be the only workable one. Cynwolfe (talk) 15:15, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ancient Roman Empire

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 to Category:Roman Empire. This is a brute force solution. There are probably some articles and subcategories that would be better in Category:Ancient Rome.--Mike Selinker (talk) 16:13, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. The category seems to be a moot WP:ORish construction, that can be easily confused with Category:Roman Empire and which is redundant to Category:Ancient Rome. Formally and often actually the ancient Rome was not an empire "from c.700BC to approximately 44BC", as the category implies. Some related pages could be also recategorized into suitable subcats, such as Category:Roman Republic, where the container category is exactly Category:Ancient Rome. Brandmeistertalk 15:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Roman Republic consisted of a lot more than just the city, and is not the same thing as the Roman Empire, so this plan really does not make sense.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:54, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Music album templates to Category:Music album navigational boxes
Nominator's rationale: These are as much navigational boxes as Category:Singles navigational boxes, and ideally should be categorised together in Category:Music navigational boxes. 86.40.193.140 (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Net laying ships of the Royal Navy

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 all per nominator. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:ENGVAR applies here, I believe. While the category tree is Category:Net laying ships, and the main article is Net laying ship, that main article notes that "The British Admiralty knew such ships as a “boom defence vessel".", and the latter term appears to be the one used by British and Australian articles on ships of this type, and also sources. (Note also that I created all these categories, without realising the WP:ENGVAR difference here.) The Bushranger One ping only 04:46, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These seem to be navigational boxes so fit into Category:People and person navigational boxes (perhaps any that aren't could be moved back to Category:Visual arts templates). 86.40.193.140 (talk) 04:22, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Animal navigational boxes. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This contains insects, spiders, birds, reptiles, fish and everything. The current title also looks a little out of place in Category:Navigational boxes which has more general subcategories (i.e. "biology" instead of "animals"), such as "arts and culture", "geography", "history and events" and everything. 86.40.193.140 (talk) 02:16, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
