The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Apple Inc. employees. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 01:56, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This was listed as a speedy rename, but there were two options. If kept, it should be renamed to Category:Apple Inc. evangelists. Bottom line this is subjective inclusion criteria. As evidenced by the articles in the category, it is not clear what objective criteria we have for inclusion here. The proported main article is a redirect to an article about criticisms of Apple. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:36, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy renamed. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 13:33, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow the strong naming convention already present on Wikipedia. Categories named "Wikipedia requested photographs..." are populated automatically by the ((image requested)) template. An article with ((image requested|geysers and hot springs)) will be added to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of geysers and hot springs. —Tim Pierce (talk) 20:12, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep and purge. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:44, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category improperly mixes fictional characters with actresses who portrayed them. The actresses should not be so categorized per WP:OC#PERF and Category:James Bond characters suffices for the character articles. Suggest salting the category as well since per its history it pops up on occasion. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The nominator is not suggesting the deletion of the article Bond girl as this would not be a proper forum for it. Nor is it a proper forum to rehash that ridiculous ANI report which could have been avoided in its entirety had you or another interested editor simply approached me on my talk page.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. I've had a look at the various subcategories of Category:Government ministers, and it quickly became clear that there was really no universal or near-universal standard for these types of categories. Some capitalize "Ministers" but others do not. This may be the type of thing that needs to be discussed very broadly if there is ever hope of attaining a standard.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Family of Muhammad. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 02:10, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Muhammad family to ?
Nominator's rationale: The current name is confusing, perhaps suggesting a family with the surname Muhammad. Category:Ahl al-Bayt is an option, mirroring the article Ahl al-Bayt. I was surprised to find no corresponding category for Jesus (WP:SMALLCAT?). We do have Category:Family of Socrates, so perhaps Category:Family of Muhammad is an option.

Category:Nass Country

[edit]
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: no consensus. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:03, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure what Nass Country refers to. I suspect it's the basin/valley/watershed of the Nass River, this category should probably be renamed accordingly. If the members of this category are simply features in the same general area and we can't name it any better, we may just want to delete. BDD (talk) 18:21, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
see User_talk:Skookum1#Category:Nass_Country and note that "Nass Valley" is not quite correct as this region includes more than the valley of the Nass in particular and this is not a valley-articletitle but a region-articletitle. "X country" is a standard appellation for regions in British Columbia English (and often capitalized in media and guides, though not in anything I've seen in google as of yet).Skookum1 (talk) 10:54, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You indicated on your talk page that Nass Country is one of BC's historical geographic regions. Would it be appropriate to create a category for these historical regions? At that point it could be especially helpful to have a corresponding article on historical divisions of BC to refer to, though not really necessary. --BDD (talk) 17:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Airwolf. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 02:43, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Small category with no likelihood of expansion. Series characters are not independently notable and no new material is likely to be created. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 17:53, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Most of the contents of this category, including two entire sub-categories, have been deleted. Category not needed to hold just the show article and its episode list. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 17:21, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Really, this sub-cat would still not be useful unless we had some other sub-cat schema to sub-divide people from Hollywood. But we don't sub-divide people by ethnicity or religion at the city let alone sub-city level, so what other schema do we have to sub-divide this. Even if we had writer, sportspeople, artists and muscians sub-cats, I still do not think this level would be useful.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"and they may be broken down by decade, but neither of them needs to be broken down by year, and they definitely don't need to be combined into one category." But apart from that, there's nothing wrong with it... Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Insufficient number of triathlon coaches to warrant a "Triathlon coaches by country" category and the necessary structure of sub-categories, of which this would be one. NSH002 (talk) 14:12, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
