Inherently POV category—infamous according to whom? Also an unhelpful and unencyclopedic category, as "infamous" is too fluid a concept for anyone to expect to find a certain entry listed under it. Why the value judgment (which in turn implies that all lists of people not listed here aren't infamous, like list of fascists), when one could simply list these under much clearer and more specific categories? For example, "list of anti-semites" and "list of white supremacists" would surely fit better under Category:Lists of people by ideology, no? Likewise for Category:Criminals, etc. -Silence 22:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Prime ministers by country

Firstly, upmerge Category:Prime ministers by country to Category:Prime ministers.

Secondly, standardize subcats as Officetitle of Fooland. A majority of the subcategories already follow this format, the article titles follow this format, and the other subcats of Category:Political office-holders follow the precedent of "Officetitle of Fooland" for specific positions with jurisdiction over the entirety of Fooland, and "Office in Fooland" for collections of offices associated with Fooland. Note that prime minister is the generic term for such offices (and thus the "Chancellor of Germany" and "Prime Minister of Canada" are collectively "prime ministers"), so the correct capitalization for the category is indeed Prime ministers, but when referring to a specific office it is convention to capitalize, eg, Prime Minister of Australia. I've included sources for case corrections where possible.

The only category of this type, ie a parent category for category:Companies traded on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. Untidy, inconsistent and unnecessary. Apart from the subcategory it contains only the article about the exchange, which I have linked from the subcategory in the same way as for the other 20 exchanges, and the article about the stock exchange index, which was already in the subcategory in the usual way.

I know, we should stop writing articles on these topics, and create categories... because if they haven't been created then we don't really need them. --Vizcarra 00:17, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that there is already a wealth of articles about numerous stock exchanges and their indices. Rather than create a new categorization structure specific to this one exchange, it should follow well-established (and well popluated) existing structures. -- Rick Block (talk) 16:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Of course... applying the Harrison Bergeron principle. The alternative to start a new structure has not been considered. Somebody could have followed my example, but instead the lazy way of "I don't have the time to do the same for other stock markets, so delete yours until then I have the energy to do so" has been chosen. --Vizcarra 18:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Not needed? How many articles have been written about it? None of these voters bothered to check. --Vizcarra 01:24, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from speedy due to lack of sign of further action after I had pointed out that the query as to whether it should be Category:Baseball in Mexico was a misunderstanding. (the parent Category:Mexican baseball should be renamed to that soon.) Rename Category:Mexican baseball teams. CalJW 14:12, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Non-standard category. Main article is Philippine landmarks (should probably be moved in line with proposed category name). I don't much like these "landmarks" categories, which cut across the more widely used and important "buildings and structures" categories in an awkward way, but we seem to be stuck with them as the term is established in American English. "Sites" is vague and is not a standard Wikipedia category. The Philippines is clearly in the American English sphere rather than the British English sphere, so we can hardly use "visitor attractions".
Rename category:Landmarks of the Philippines CalJW 06:19, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a tourism site! There are Category:Star Wars locations , Category:Bible places, Category:New Testament places and Category:Torah places. I don't see anything vague with the meaning of place. Buildings and places have totally different meanings. --Jondel 06:48, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Carina22 17:51, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retain I need a category that means a place, location or site. Remove the Philippine landmarks as the main article. A landmark is a marker. Allow a Landmarks in the Philippines category but allow a categor for significant sites. A reservation park really doesn't serve well as a marker . (1)What is vague about sites (or locations or places)? (2) Please show if sites can not exist as a category despite being non-standard. If you delete these category, I will file a vandalism report.

This is the definition for Landmark. www.dictionary.com:1.A prominent identifying feature of a landscape. 2.A fixed marker, such as a concrete block, that indicates a boundary line. 3.An event marking an important stage of development or a turning point in history. 4.A building or site with historical significance, especially one marked for preservation by a municipal or national government.--Jondel 10:53, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Philippines does not "need" anything that any other country doesn't need, and you do not own the coverage of the Philippines. You cannot "file a vandalism report" if this is deleted in accordance with due process! CalJW 11:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No. It is not for you to determine that something is not needed if there is at least one vote. I will propose a separate vote for sites or P. locations or P. places. Keep a Landmark, keep a location/site/place category. There is a Category:Star Wars locations. Not that the Philippines is a fictional movie but location is not an ambiguous concept.--Jondel 02:52, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Awkward English, vague, non-standard and impossible to categorise in the international category system. I have moved the 5 articles to Category:Shopping malls in the Philippines and Category:Retailing in the Philippines. CalJW 06:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
