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. As there is no consensus on deletion, I will redirect the nominated category for now. – Fayenatic London 22:21, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. As far as I know, these are referring to the same thing, and they are more commonly known as "Papal counts" (or "Roman counts"). Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:21, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Proposed railway stations scheduled to open in 2014

[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: rename. No consensus on whether or not to delete, but the rationale for at least renaming the 2014 category is strong since (if I'm getting this right) the "proposed" tree is for those proposed but not yet under construction. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:18, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Proposed railway stations scheduled to open in 2014 to Category:Railway stations scheduled to open in 2014
Nominator's rationale: Rename. If a station is actually scheduled to open, it basically is not proposed. While one might argue that these could be renamed to future or under construction, that is really unnecessary as scheduled says it all for the opening. This same rename could be an option for proposed for 2015, but the contents there would need to be reviewed. As you get farther out in time, say Category:Proposed railway stations scheduled to open in 2022 we are probably violating WP:CRYSTAL since these projects are notorious for changes of dates or just cancellation and those categories should probably be deleted or renamed in some way.

Category:Istanbul Marathon winners

[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:  Relisted at 2014 AUG 20. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:11, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The Istanbul Marathon (like the other marathons below) is not a competition that is recognised across the sport as a major race to win. Winning this race is not a defining characteristic by default (indeed, for many in the category is was just one of many races they entered and won that year). Compare this for example with Category:Boston Marathon winners – winning this competition represents reaching the pinnacle of the sport and international coverage. SFB 18:37, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I doubt if we should delete. The category may not be as relevant for Wikipedia readers who are interested in top marathon running, but it may be interesting for Wikipedia readers interested in running sports in their own country / own city, so with a sports x geography interest.

Category:Indoor College athletics (track and field) venues in the United States

[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: upmerge, but in practice delete as the page is in both parents already. – Fayenatic London 23:54, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Indoor College athletics (track and field) venues in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Very few notable indoor track and field venues in the United States are reserved largely for college competition. The parent categories (small in themselves) serve the needs of this intersection well enough already. SFB 18:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 22:25, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: See previous CFD (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/User/Archive/July 2007#July 5). Acather96 (click here to contact me) 18:09, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep @Acather96: Per the previous CFD I can see the category was created purely as a statement of opposition to religion and to express lack of belief in a deity. That is not the purpose for which I created the category; I myself believe in God, or at least a supernatural deity (I'm Pantheist), but am opposed to organised religion. Collaboration of would-be members of this category is still possible on relevant platforms such as WP:PHILOSOPHY and WP:RELIGION, and to improve the article on Antireligion.

  • Support delete. 'Being opposed to' organised religion is just an opinion that we can't verify. A defining characteristic could be 'activism against' organised religion - if that's not already covered by other categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:20, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All child articles are competitions and this change will bring it in line with the parent Category:Mountain running competitions. SFB 18:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename all. – Fayenatic London 22:29, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Decathlon Year Ranking to Category:Years in the decathlon
Nominator's rationale: The scope of the children articles has been changed following discussion at WikiProject Athletics, generally agreeing that rankings are not notable in themselves. The parent category should be renamed to reflect the new scope. SFB 17:50, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete, noting support from BIL as category creator. – Fayenatic London 20:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Cross-border races are sufficiently rare enough that dividing these by sport is not really helpful to navigation. (Note I have recently created and populated the new parent Category:Cross-border races) SFB 17:32, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[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: upmerge to Category:LSU Tigers and Lady Tigers sports venues. Note that Category:College track and field venues by team in the United States will become empty. – Fayenatic London 22:36, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Classifying track and field venues by the college team that uses them is too narrow an intersection. A college will rarely have more than a handful of dedicated track and field venues, let alone notable ones. SFB 17:00, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge to Athletics (track and field) venues in Mexico; all 7 pages are already in College sports venues in Mexico. – Fayenatic London 12:54, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:College athletics (track and field) venues in Mexico (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Collegiate track and field is too narrow an intersection as very few venues are reserved for just collegiate competition, rather than being a venue for the sport in general. Estadio Olímpico Universitario is a good example of this - it is plain wrong to specifically classify the 1968 Olympic stadium as a venue for college track and field, and not for track in general. Children should be upmerge to parent categories as appropriate. SFB 16:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 20:20, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. The category is an incomplete list of US National Film Registry films that is only linked from the complete US National Film Registry films article. ThunderPumpkin (talk) 14:19, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[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: rename to match others. There is scope for a group nomination to rename again with all siblings to lowercase, or perhaps to a longer name e.g. "Independent politicians in Maine", but perhaps a central discussion should be held to include the party categories e.g. within Category:Democrats (United States) by state. – Fayenatic London 13:21, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Is there any reason that this category should not be renamed to match the other by-state subcategories of Category:Independent politicians in the United States? Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:10, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Unaffiliated state governors of the United States

[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: merge; there is no consensus on deletion i.e. removing the pages from this tree, but consensus that this category should not be retained. – Fayenatic London 14:33, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Appears to me to be categorizing essentially the same thing. There is a category tree for Category:Independent politicians in the United States but not one for Category:Unaffiliated politicians in the United States. Independent politician is defined in the lead of the article as one "not affiliated to any political party"—which suggests that "independent" and "unaffiliated" mean the same thing in this context. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Those categories were created as part of a (yet to be completed) attempt to fully populate Category:State governors of the United States by party, which I think previously only had Democratic and Republican subcategories. My intention was to differentiate pre-party system governors ("unaffiliated") from governors who ran as political independents within a party system ("independent"). So, the first category includes a lot of 18th-century governors, whereas the second category includes more recent governors (King, Chafee, Ventura). I think it's a distinction worth maintaining, but "unaffiliated" might not be the best term for it. IgnorantArmies 02:27, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, pre-party governors probably should not appear in that tree at all. For instance, there is no category for pre-party U.S. Senators in Category:United States Senators by party. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:50, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's a good argument for including all state governors in that tree, just for consistency's sake. The category's members do share a relatively notable and interesting trait, even if <not being in a party> isn't really a subset of <being in a party>. (I should probably find something to quote from the category guidelines here). I would extend the same rationale to other cat trees – for instance, Category:Pro-Administration United States Senators and Category:Anti-Administration United States Senators might be useful, given those distinctions are quite well documented. IgnorantArmies 11:43, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think it might go a step too far—if part of a "by party" tree, I see it as too much like a "remainders" or "not otherwise applicable" category per WP:OCMISC. Not every article needs to be subdivided into some category of a given tree. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:35, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
