  • Propose renaming Category:Magic: The Gathering expansion sets to Category:Magic: The Gathering early expansion sets
Nominator's rationale: Only early expansion sets remain as articles, the expansion sets from the block era having been merged into their respective blocks (following an RfC) and then categorized in Category:Magic: The Gathering blocks pbp 23:38, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:The Incredible Hulk (1978 TV series). (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 07:45, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename because the series began in 1978. I tried to create a redirect, but I don't think I did it right. --Musdan77 (talk) 20:14, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't it be best to just match the name of the article, which is currently at The Incredible Hulk (TV series)? --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 07:47, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wonderland Trail

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: for now, rename to Category:Wonderland Trail shelters. If the articles about the shelters are deleted/merged as proposed, then the category can be deleted, either as empty, or, if necessary, after a new nomination. Good Ol’factory (talk) 17:03, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This is basically a follow up from this discussion which was closed as no consensus since there was a mix of trails, some of which probably should be deleted and others kept. So I'm sorting through that list to see which ones merit a separate deletion discussion. Again the question here is, are the places along the trail defined by the trail? This case is different in that the shelters where built for the trail, so maybe if this is kept, it should be renamed to reflect that aspect (Category:Wonderland Trail shelters) and purged of other articles. The historic district is located on the trail, but does not appear to be defined by it. Being a staring point does not appear to be defining. The patrol cabins were built to support the patrol activities and are on the trail so for these this is not defining. If we want to keep anything here the best choice may be to rename to Category:Longmire Historic District or Category:Longmire, Washington and drop the trail article.

Category:Types of library

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: do not merge. As pointed out, they are not categorizing the same thing. If a user wants to propose Category:Types of libraries, that may be done in a new nomination. Good Ol’factory (talk) 16:59, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category name should be plural per Wikipedia:Category names. M2545 (talk) 15:14, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Filipino actors. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:49, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Empty category duplicates Category:Filipino actors. Text duplicates article David Remo. Appears to have been created for one specific actor. – Wdchk (talk) 12:11, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Category:Falkland Islands MLAs 2009–13 as per below. --Philip Stevens (talk) 09:58, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I must plead ignorance on the differences between a hyphen, endash and emdash. I'll just stay away from dated categories. ;-) Liz Read! Talk! 19:24, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Don't stay away, Liz :)
Just read MOS:YEAR and MOS:DASH. It's not intuitive, but it made sense to me when I read them. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:51, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Will do, BrownHairedGirl! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction to learn the difference. I imagine if that group nomination does get approved, there will be a lot of categories to correct. Liz Read! Talk! 13:41, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn by nominator. Euryalus (talk) 02:32, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:MULTI, discussing the same question in multiple simultaneous discussions is a very bad idea. It simply leads to:
  1. the same arguments being rehearsed in several different places, such as this instance when JPL posted an identical comment in multiple discussions, and/or
  2. Some discussions closing without all interested editors having commented, because they don't have the energy to repeat their arguments in several different places
At best, this leads to fragmented discussions and exhausted editors. At worst it leads to contradictory outcomes, which gives editors no guidance on how to proceed wrt such categories in future.
So please, at the least, just withdraw this nomination until the others have closed.
It would better still to withdraw all these related nominations, and discuss the issue at RFC. I happen to agree with JPL's view that these intersections of oocupation-with-small-geographical-are are a very bad idea, but I want whatever consensus is reached to be a stable one. That can now be achieved only by centralising the discussion.
If these nominations are withdrawn, I undertake to open an RFC on the issue. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:49, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
