Category:J-Rock artists

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 the category as duplication. There is no current list of J-Rock groups so I will move the category page to List of Japanese rock music groups as nominated. I am not sure why the old List of Japanese rock bands was merged to List of musical artists from Japan so I will update that old redirect to point to the recreated list; it has incoming links, so at least the recreated page won't be an orphan. – Fayenatic London 00:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Convert Category:J-Rock artists to article List of Japanese rock music groups
Nominator's rationale: Was originally created as a list article, moved today into a category. As a category it is redundant with Category:Japanese rock music groups and Category:Japanese rock musicians and their subcategories. Xfansd (talk) 22:13, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Either way, if there is a Category:Japanese rock music groups then the category both in category form and article form is completely superfluous and shouldn't have an article dedicated to it if a category already exists, in which case deleting the category would be the best option.

  • @Marcocapelle: I mean the article should be deleted and it the collection should just be a mere category. Thanks. DrStrauss talk 19:54, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2D per The Troubles. Charles Essie (talk) 17:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • What other "troubles" could any of these possibly refer to? Charles Essie (talk) 21:42, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • See the previous cfds, all of which are nearly unanimous. Oculi (talk) 23:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Editors seem to appeal to policy without reading it. WP:C2D: "This applies only if the related page's current name (and by extension, the proposed name for the category) is unambiguous". The name is ambiguous per The Troubles (disambiguation). In particular events in Ireland in the 1920s were also known as "The Troubles". Oculi (talk) 15:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I should have said per the spirit of WP:C2D since that was written for speedy nominations. You make a compelling argument for renaming the article. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a good point, I'm going to change the proposed names accordingly. Charles Essie (talk) 22:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is time for you to give up on a lost cause and do something else at Wikipedia and stop pinging me! IQ125 (talk) 16:23, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alright! Alright! I'll never ping you again. Charles Essie (talk) 00:50, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
IQ125 speaks for me too. Oculi (talk) 01:22, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2017_March_11#Category:Chalcedonianism. – Fayenatic London 17:22, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete because the scope of the category is unclear (is it about denominations, or rites, or theology?) and without limiting inclusion criteria the category may grow to a near-copy of the whole Category:Christianity tree (which would be useless of course). (Background: Chalcedonian Christianity may be regarded as synonymous of 'mainstream Christianity', covering Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism.)

The result of the discussion was: Delete. VegaDark (talk) 03:03, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: First, this is no scheme for Category:Horror film actors, nor should there be. Should actors be categorized by the genre of films they appear in? Doris Day in Category:American romantic-comedy film actors, for example. And just think of the overcategorization this could lead to. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 08:34, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category, if we continue to create categories for programming like this, it is a case of WP:OVERCAT. —IB [ Poke ] 03:30, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
