Merge into Category:American astronauts, see guidelines. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 13:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• keep no need to merge all entries are already in the Category:American astronauts.Muntuwandi 17:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Listify and delete, per ProveIt and Muntuwandi. Postdlf 16:18, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Since we have category:African Americans it may as well be broken down into useful chunks. Cloachland 03:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and listify per above, occupation categories are generally not subdivided by race or gender. Dugwiki 19:13, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  I beg to differ. There are many occupation categories that are classified by race and gender. Particularly if it is a small or unique group.

  • Astronauts in general are a small group. And I don't see how African-American astronauts are more "unique" than any other ethnic/racial group. Delete.-choster 15:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:CATGRS and above. Mairi 20:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Games similar to baseball (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Not objectively defined, see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 December 14 for a similar discussion of "games similar to cricket". Tim! 09:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Whether something is similar to baseball or not seems subjective, and therefore in violation of Wikipedia:no original research. For example, I could argue that I don't think hurling is sufficiently similar to baseball. Picaroon 01:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Poorly defined: open to conflict, non-neutral. Jpeob 01:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete "Forms of [name of sport]" categories are a good idea, where the new sports are deliberate spin-offs of a pre-existing sport, but this is not such a category and is inappropriate per the above comments. Cloachland 03:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The vague description of the category will create continuous debate. TSO1D 04:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Seems like a good subject for a subsection in the baseball article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Freekee (talk • contribs) 01:13, 27 December 2006

Category:People who died in hotel rooms (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete - Deaths by location strikes me as a poor precedent to set unless the specific location of death is itself notable. Dying in a hotel room isn't particularly encyclopedic. Otto4711 06:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. This category was discussed and renamed on May 6. ×Meegs 09:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment--w/o a reason this means nothing

• Delete, trivia, the only relationship between the entries is going to be one of mere random coincidence. Postdlf 16:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Postdlf Felix Han 18:18, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional documentaries into Category:Mockumentaries

• Merge - Cat was nominated by me previously and closed with no consensus, which I don't understand since the only other person who actually "voted" agreed with the merge. Regardless, the two categories cover the exact same ground and the lead article is Mockumentary. Otto4711 04:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per nom.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 14:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge I hate naming categories for made up (or new) words, but as long as the subject article is "Mockumentary," I'll go with it. -Freekee 06:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional disasters to Category:Disaster fiction

• Rename, Less ambiguous. At first I thought someone was calling the television program Lost a "disaster" as a criticism of it. ~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 02:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename per nom, logical parent of categories such as Category:Disaster movies. Postdlf 16:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose; it seem this is a category for disasters that have never occurred in reality, i.e. the destruction of Alderaan in Star Wars, not for fiction in which a disaster has occurred, i.e. A Night to Remember. Possibly rename to Category:Disasters in fiction? Her Pegship (tis herself) 18:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose as per Pegship, although this category is kinda eh to begin with. SnowFire 04:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per Snowfire. People really need to put inclusion criteria or prupose statements on their category pages. -Freekee 06:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as repost of Category:Batman actors, see discussion of November 15th. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 00:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Though not a direct repost, it uses the same general comcept in an even stupider fashion. Also, as it stands now, it's easily outdone by the Batman cast lists. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 01:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete as recreation, and because it's not even a category, just a misplaced article-type list. Postdlf 16:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Superfluous category. Jpeob 05:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per other comments. Nathanian 16:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
