Category:Albums produced by Lee Thomas Miller

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: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:30, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Miller only produced half of Brand New Girlfriend, and his only other production credits are non-notable singles by Steve Holy and Amy Dalley which were never put on an album. Precedent is that the producer should have worked on at least a couple full albums to have their own category. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:49, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Thares already a Universal TV category called Category:Television series by Universal Television, Use only one Uni TV category. 47.54.189.22 (talk) 19:58, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply: All of the Uni Studios shows are already in the Uni TV category, so this is why it is being delated — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.54.189.22 (talk) 14:35, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Obviously this is a sensitive subject, and one I don't know enough about. Category was created by @Tleeditor, who joined a few weeks ago. It's possible that there is a real category to be created in this area, there's an extensive hierarchy at Category:Blackface minstrelsy for instance, including Category:Blackface minstrel performers‎. But yellowface is far less of a thing, in fact it's a redirect to Portrayal of East Asians in Hollywood which in turn is up for merger with Portrayal of Asians in American theater. Tleeditor has slapped the category on a bunch of fairly well-known actors, with little evidence to support it although I haven't looked in detail. I leave this one to the floor....

  • Just for clarity, I was proposing it for deletion as a non-defining WP:PERFCAT, but with the caveat that there could be some performers for whom it was defining in the same way as blackface. I just don't know enough about it - my guess would be that there may well be a handful of performers for whom it was defining, but there's so much potential for trivial mentions that it's a bad idea anyway.Le Deluge (talk) 10:00, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Larry Wade Carrell

The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:10, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete eponymous category per WP:OCEPON. Not enough articles to justify creation, only the main article Larry Wade Carrell and a film in which he features The Ghosts of Garip. . Tassedethe (talk) 19:32, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedily deleted WP:CSD#R3. – Fayenatic London 15:40, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category name contains an implausible typo ("Categiory"). It redirects to the correctly spelled category but this is unnecessary as any incoming links to the misspelled category are extremely unlikely. 97198 (talk) 09:57, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:Overcategorization; we already have Category:Deaths by person, which is enough by itself. "Notable deaths" is also a rather subjective description to begin with. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:28, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support this excellent suggestion of rename Such category would allow one to read about different articles and compare and learn. An early reaction to support delete can be knee jerk but Peterkingiron's idea is outstanding! Whiskeymouth (talk) 18:48, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Deaths by person most certainly does not need or want to be subcatted by the deceased subjects' former occupations in life. Bearcat (talk) 18:56, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why not? I can well imagine subcats like Category:Deaths of heads of state and Category:Deaths of politicians (those better than musicians, actually). Marcocapelle (talk) 08:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not overcharacterization because this category allows the readers to read about big deaths among musicians. Whiskeymouth (talk) 03:03, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Scottish lochs with reported cryptids
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:V, WP:FRINGE, WP:OCLOCATION
According to a majority of the Yelp reviews, Loch Lomond is "romantic" (source) but, despite those reports, we don't have a category for Category:Reportedly romantic Scottish lochs. Inserting "reported" into the category name is a tacit acknowledgement that the presence of monsters can't be verified. I have not objection to categorizing actual cryptid articles in this tree (which is why we have a Scottish cryptozoology and a Scottish mythical creature categories along with a whole Nessie tree) but the intersection of monsters and geography is not defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:00, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. I will change my opinion to delete then, on the grounds of duplication. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 23:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
