The term "Macanese", in most cases, refers to the Macanese people, who're people with mixed Portuguese and Asian (usually Chinese) ancestry. The previous CfR decision regarding Macao should be overturned, with the original categories undeleted. — Instantnood 22:10, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was withdrawn. — Instantnood 17:12, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While I realize that naming is a thorny issue in regards to this particular country, I also don't see an obvious reason why there should be two separate media categories for it, especially considering that one contains only media-related subcategories and the other contains only articles. I strongly suggest merging the two, but I leave it to CFD to determine which way the merge should go. Bearcat 18:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep both. "Taiwan" and "Republic of China" do not entirely overlaps. — Instantnood 23:44, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Match it to whatever is the favored flavor "Media of country" or "countryish media" If one of these already matches, fine. If neither matches it should be made and both of these should be deleted. On the naming issue: In common language, Taiwan = ROC. There isn't enough non-Taiwan (on the island only) media to care about in the ROC to care about a distinction. SchmuckyTheCat 01:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: ROC ≠ Taiwan. There were newspapers published in mainland China during the ROC era, but had never been published within the present-day territories of the ROC. There are also newspapers published only on Quemoy or on Matsu. Please dont ignore existing Wikipedia official policies regarding the ROC/Taiwan issue, and please take a look at how the categories for transport, islands and townships are organised like. — Instantnood 21:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm willing to withdraw this nomination now that Instantnood has changed Category:Taiwanese media to a subcategory of the Republic of China category; my issue was primarily that they were originally categorized as two separate subcategories of Category:Media by country.

Mayors by country

The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was rename to "Mayors of places in ..." for countries and "Mayors of ..." for cities. Conscious 13:42, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The position of mayor is one of political office. Political office holder categories on Wikipedia are named with the "by country" convention, such as Category:Government ministers of Australia, Category:Prime Ministers of Bahrain, and Category:Presidents of Bolivia. The following mayors by nationality categories should be renamed to mayors by country wordings, as per consistency, and also because by nationality is fraught with problems of interpertations for political office-holders, such as for example "Mexican" mayors of cities in the United States. A by country wording would avoid such potential problems entirely.

Category:Longevity myths is effectively a duplicate of the larger [Category:Longevity claims]. While it is a safe bet that most of the ages claimed are false, "myths" takes a stance on the matter, and therefore breaches the neutral point of view policy. "Claim" merely observes that a claim has been made, leaving it to the reader to assess its validity as discussed by the article.Chicheley 10:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

In cricket, "ground" is often part of the name of a venue and so is an alternative to "stadium" or "paddock" or similar. "Venue" is a generic term and so more appropriate in this context. --Jack 09:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn Consensus in WikiProject Cricket is that "grounds" is preferred to "venues" and I accept the consensus of project members who are acting positively in the best interests of the project and the readers. --Jack 06:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emptied category which has had its articles more relevantly redeployed else where. In particular, all the articles breached WP rule re parent and child categorisation. --Jack 09:26, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and repopulate. There is no such rule (see Wikipedia:Categorization/Categories and subcategories, though even if it did say what you incorrectly claim it says, it would not be mandatory as it is only a guideline). On the other hand you have breached etiquette by emptying the category before bringing it here. Chicheley 10:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Chicheley if repopulated before closure. Athenaeum 11:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete and leave the articles in the categories where they now are. Once again, a pair of deletion project pedants with no interest in the subject being improved for the benefit of the readers. The category was emptied because it was not adding value and every article that was in it exists in at least TWO other categories where it is both relevant and useful. There has not been any breach of etiquette. Jack has made perfectly clear what he is doing in the cricket project discussion pages (see the portal, the wikiproject and the cricket category talk pages) and this category was emptied in the course of his improvements which are being done for the benefit of the readership, not to give the afore-mentioned pedants something to whinge about. As for there being "no rule", I myself have seen a WP rule or guideline or whatever which states that an article should not be in both parent and child categories, apart from certain exceptions. But there has been no exception here: only unnecessary duplication. --GeorgeWilliams 11:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is irrelevant if the WP statement is a guideline or a rule. It should be followed anyway. In this case, the child category was redundant because it had been added to the parent which already contained all of the child's articles. Once again, decategorisation was done in good faith with support from project members and no opposition from project members. --Jack 14:26, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • Please do come back here if you wish to delete or rename any categories in future. The fact that you aren't getting your way doesn't make the process "negative". Please scroll down and see if other people behave this way when their ideas don't meet with universal approval. Chicheley 18:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • The process is negative because it is convoluted, bureaucratic and works against progress. If you think I do not accept consensus, read the cricket project discussion pages and see how I take into account the views of my fellow members who all have a positive interest in advancing the project for the benefit of the readers. Not something that occurs to those who inhabit this section and seek to delete perfectly good articles on the slightest pretext. --Jack 04:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Completing nomination suggested by User:BlackJack at 07:26, 24 June (UTC). However, I disagree with the suggestion: One-day International is officially spelled as two capitalised words, so the category should stay where it is. Sam Vimes 08:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One-day International in the context of a specific match is a noun and I agree with using the upper case in that sense. In this context of the category's title, where it is describing a generic type of cricket, it is adjectival and so should comply with WP naming convention. --Jack 09:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emptied category that appears to be "redundant" according to User:BlackJack's nomination, which was not completed properly. I'm just completing the nomination, so no vote from me. Sam Vimes 08:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for oversight. The category is empty due to its handful of articles being more relevantly deployed under other categories and because it is unlikely, given the existence of the other categories, that this one will be subject to any worthwhile development. Therefore it is redundant and should be removed. --Jack 09:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This was depopulated by Jack in advance of nomination, which is a breach of etiquette. I have started to repopulate it. It is difficult to accept that the claim that it contained only a "handful of articles" was made in good faith, when Jack knows perfectly well that he personally removed subcategories containing scores of articles from it. Chicheley 10:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • In view of the comments above by Sam and myself, an accusation of bad faith is insulting. I suggest that this user needs to get things in context. --Jack 04:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This a subcategory I would expect Wikipedia to have. Athenaeum 11:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete Neither Athenaeum nor Chicheley are interested in cricket and neither understands the process of improvement that is being carried out for the benefit of the readers. They are clearly out to interfere in every topic on this deletion page and it is difficult to understand their exact agenda. There has been no breach of etiquette, which is ludicrous claim, as Jack has made clear what he is doing on the cricket category, portal and WikiProject discussion pages. The articles have not been removed either. They are already deployed on more relevant and useful categories elsewhere and this teams category was not helping the project. I would have thought Jack's explanation above has made clear that his process will improve the cricket project but evidently the deletion page residents know more about it than he does.

I would hace thought that before Chicheley starts to repopulate a project's categories, he should be a member of that project and have an active knowledge of and genuine interest in it. That is a breach of etiquette. --GeorgeWilliams 12:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • DeleteThe category was depopulated because none of the articles or sub-categories were appropriate to it. I started recategorising a few of them and then found that the whole lot needed doing. So when Chicheley, who has no interest in the cricket project, starts talking rubbish about etiquette he doesn't know what he is on about. He is a pedantic troublemaker who is trying to prevent improvement of the cricket project for the benefit of its readers. The proposals for changing the cricket categories are on the appropriate discussion pages and are being discussed. So far, the response from the people who are actually interested in cricket has been positive, though clearly these people are not as clever as Chicheley or his sarcastic (i.e., infantile) sidekick Athenaeum who are clearly the sort of people who know everything and understand nothing. Chicheley says I have breached etiquette but what he has done is vandalism. He has undone the work of a project member who was acting in good faith with some support and no opposition from other project members because he knows nmore about our project than we do. Frankly, people like that are the bane of Wikipedia. --Jack 13:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please try to rely on reason rather than insults. I am a county member and I have been to test cricket every year for the last 25 years, but if I can expect to encounter this sort of behaviour on WikiProject Cricket it would be foolish to join it as I do not wish to waste my time having rows. Chicheley 16:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I also am a county member and I have just joined Wiki Cricket because it is doing excellent work that I have enjoyed reading for a few years now. I have been reading this debate and it would be as well if you did not join the project as you are clearly a very negative person indeed. The reason why a row has erupted here is because you have first accused Black Jack of acting in bad faith and then of breaching etiquette. It is plain to see that he has done neither and he has been right to defend himself. I think you should apologise to him. --AlbertMW 06:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Jack re-emptied it and stated in each of his edit summaries that my repopulation of it was vandalism. Chicheley 16:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - no vote from me as I know nothing about cricket, but depopulating categories in advance of listing at CFD, then using "empty" as a rationale for deletion is highly unacceptable and a gigantic breach of protocol. I would appreciate it if someone could restore the categories to their previous populated state so that we might be able to judge the categories on their own merits. BoojiBoy 17:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps people who create these negative procedures should make sure they are clearly explained so that they are easy to use by people who haven't time to sit and read through page after page of convoluted jargon. I am trying to improve a project for the benefit of its readers. In doing so , I found that a category was superfluous and I ended up by emptying it. I was then advised that i should submit the empty category to this procedure rather than wait for a housekeeping procedure to tidy it up. I have NOT breached anything. I am simply trying to be a positive contributer to the cricket project. I will repopulate the cricket teams category and I will then withdraw from this site, which is frankly a waste of my valuable time. --Jack 18:01, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
