Category:Former Indian capital cities

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:Former capital cities in India. For the record, I am pasting in a copy of the Speedy nomination which was opposed (by me). – Fayenatic London 14:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Former Indian capital cities to ?
Nominator's rationale: Current name is unclear and doesn't readily fit into Category:Capitals of former nations or Category:Former national capitals. Tim! (talk) 16:50, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I support this rename which defines the scope and clarifies it. SFB 17:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Copy of speedy discussion
  • Category:Former Indian capital cities to Category:Former capitals of India – C2C: per convention of Category:Former national capitals Tim! (talk) 07:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose: Tim! – that doesn't match the contents, which are former capitals of parts of India. The category explanation says "capitals of historical states, provinces, subha etc. of India". Maybe a full discussion would generate suggestions for a better name. – Fayenatic London 09:44, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Any changes to the naming format of this category should also include (and probably start with) Category:Indian capital cities. -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:50, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Brand name poultry

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: relist at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 August 15. – Fayenatic London 22:55, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I am proposing this renaming due to the ease of confusion on this matter. Hybrid poultry breeds, such as ISA Brown could easily be confused with this, which is brand name meats not poultry hybrids/breeds. JTdale Talk 16:18, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think this naming is avoided as these categories contain both the brands themselves and their sub-products, e.g. Burger King is the brand, BK Chicken Nuggets is a product (not a brand). SFB 17:06, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People by ethnic or national origin

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, leaning keep. Although people are still discussing this, I am closing it without waiting further, in order to stop the personal attacks. It is heading towards "keep" anyway. – Fayenatic London 14:36, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the second time, I create this proposal, the first time was on July the 9th. I take it, I don't violate any rules by relisting the proposal just one time, especially because I badly messed up the first one and it became too confusing. Category:People by ethnic or national origin is grouping categories of the format Category:Fooian People of ethnic or national origin. These subcats themselves again are holding subcats of the format Category:Fooian People of gooian descent. So overall, Category:People by ethnic or national origin has sub-sub cats that end with "by national descent", why don't also use this title in their parent category?. The "...by nationality and..." part is of course important, as the cat is adding and immediately using the attribute of nationality. -- CN1 (talk) 16:03, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not a single person article in Wikipedia is standing in an "ethnic or national origin" cat, they all stand in descent-cats. People with ethnic or national origin are called migrants and there is already an own category tree (made of 2 branches, Category:Immigrants and Category:Emigrants). <br\> The descent-cats should be categorized in a parent-cat that is titled "descent" as well. <br\> This rename would require the subsequent rename of all 'origin' categories into 'descent' categories. This would be around 241 categoris, judging from the amount subcats that I found. -- CN1 (talk) 16:04, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's all the more reason this CfD is disruptive and not constructive; and would require endless CfDs to do what you are saying and you assume perhaps they'd all be automatic in following this one, were it changed as you want. Not so, and far from it. The previous/parallel CfD has been closed as "keep"; this one was a procedural violation when it started, as the other one not yet closed; and has been closed as "keep".Skookum1 (talk) 16:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please write below my rationale, this is a summary. CN1 (talk) 12:22, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Pffft, I replied after your "summary", which is as much nonsense as the CfD, now closed as "keep", which wasn't closed when you started this one, meaning you are out of order, as is this CfD. Throwing more word-babble at a dead duck is not going to make it into a live turkey. You launched this against procedure, I could care less where you want me to comment; I did not comment in your "summary" (=rambling babble of misconstrued terms), but after it.Skookum1 (talk) 14:11, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relist at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 August 15. – Fayenatic London 23:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Video games developed in China to Category:Video games by China company or Category:Video games by Chinese company
  • Propose renaming Category:Video games developed in the Czech Republic by company to Category:Video games by the Czech Republic company or Category:Video games by Czech company
  • Propose renaming Category:Video games developed in Japan by company to Category:Video games by Japan company or Category:Video games by British company
  • Propose renaming Category:Video games developed in the United Kingdom by company to Category:Video games by the United Kingdom company or Category:Video games by British company
  • Propose renaming Category:Video games developed in the United States by company to Category:Video games by the United States company or Category:Video games by American company

Subcategories also include games not developed by these companies but only published.Max Payne was fr example developed in Finland but it is according to the old category name also developed in USA which is incorrect. There are other examples of this like Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis or Overlord. I already moved these categories because I didn't know that I have to discuss here first and was warned a bit late. Sorry for this mistake of mine. --Bedivere.cs (talk) 15:34, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Propose alternate naming in the style of Category:Video games developed by British companies. The proposed naming are not idiomatic and are overly wordy. SFB 17:16, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Problem is that these categories doesn't include only games developed by these companies but also published. I would better suggest style of Category:Video games by British company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bedivere.cs (talkcontribs)
I think companies not involved in the development of the game in anyway are not worthy of categorisation. These should be forced out of the category structure. SFB 20:45, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I assume that you meant Japanese instead of British for the Japan cat? Aristophanes68 (talk) 00:53, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animation by studio

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: keep. I see that it has been re-populated. – Fayenatic London 15:34, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Now that I've moved all the animated film categories that had been here to the newer Category:Animated films by studio, do we still need this? I think not, as I see nothing here that can't be grouped under the appropriate country category in Category:Animation studios. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:26, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate law

The result of the discussion was: Rename all. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:07, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This is the best worldwide name; the main article was moved from the UK-centric name company law to corporate law in 2007, and was stable there until a recent discussion on content (see talk page). Actually, "company law" dominates in the sub-categories of Category:Corporations law by country, but that probably reflects British colonial history. Among those, "Corporations law" seems only to be used in Category:Canadian corporations law, but that may have been following the parent category name rather than local usage, as the Canadian case Teck Corp. Ltd. v. Millar describes it as " an important Canadian corporate law decision" (cf. [1]); other sources use "Corporation law" in Canada ([2]), so I'm not leaving Canadian categories out of this nomination for further consideration. – Fayenatic London 09:46, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Louisiana Territory and Missouri Territory

The result of the discussion was: split, unanimous discussion. – Fayenatic London 22:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Obvious reasoning but split so it matches the rest at Category:Former organized territories of the United States. Articles/categories that involve both territories would be listed in both (like Great Flood of 1862 does for all those states. Ricky81682 (talk) 02:58, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably they were combined as a category because of the continuity, contiguity and the short time span for both. Nevertheless, it will be a straightforward split. – Fayenatic London 10:21, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
