Category:Britons imprisoned abroad

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: merge. Kbdank71 19:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:Britons imprisoned abroad to Category:British people imprisoned abroad
Nominator's rationale: Merge, "Britons" isn't used consistently in WP to refer to "British people". (Personally I would interpret the word as referring to the pre-1066 residents of Britain.) The ultimate parent is Category:British people, so I propose we should stick with that formatting. (I recently created the target category, forgetting the non-standard naming status of the existing category, which presented an opportune time to propose a renaming.)

What, Anglo-Saxons? I'm confused :) Johnbod (talk) 22:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Pre-Anglo-Saxons. The people who the Angles and Saxons and Jutes killed/assimilated with when they invaded. See Britons (historic). When I said pre-1066, I should have said pre-pre-1066; more like pre-5th century or so — the guys who lived there in Roman times. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Knights of the Order of Smile (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Listify and delete as overcategorization by award. The Order of the Smile is hardly defining for Nelson Mandela, J. K. Rowling, Anne, Princess Royal or Steven Speilberg to name but four recipients. BencherliteTalk 21:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Category:Films by location to Category:Films by geographic setting. - jc37 08:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest merging Category:Films by location to Category:Films by setting
Nominator's rationale: Merge Both categories serve the same purpose.Wulf Isebrand (talk) 20:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild oppose - Films by location is gathering cats at the national or continental level, while Films by setting, despite containing a couple of nation-level subcats, seems more about pulling together films set in a particular place, like "on an airplane" or "in prison." Otto4711 (talk) 23:24, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, but rename to something else. If these are the same category, subcategories like Prison films will be buried among countries and cities. If folks are interested in populating this, it should be a subcategory of Category:Films by setting, maybe subcategorized further to allow categories by continent, country, etc. However, the current name does not indicate clearly whether it should contain subcategories for films set there or shot there (note that Category:Films shot in Jamaica is in there now). -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 17:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're probably right. We also have a Category:Films by shooting location, so Category:Films by location should be renamed to make clear the difference between those two and become a subcat of Category:Films by setting. --Wulf Isebrand (talk) 19:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about something like Films by geographic setting? -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 03:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would support this naming proposal. But maybe we could even keep Category:Films by location as a parent cat of Category:Films by geographical setting and Category:Films by shooting location? --Wulf Isebrand (talk) 18:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds fine. -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 19:24, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense for Category:Prison films, though I tend to think of genre as stuff like horror or mystery rather than set on a plane or set in the desert. -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 03:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Games sold on Steam (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Has already been discussed and deleted CWii(Talk|Contribs) 19:39, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question -- If so, when and were? Please cite the CFD discussion that you refer to. My impression (while knowing nothing of the subject) is that this is a well populated category, which suggests a Keep, but I am not qualified to say more than that the reasons ciurrently given are inadequate for deletion.

Propose renaming Category:Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, Alaska to Category:Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, Alaska
Nominator's rationale: Skagway became a borough last year and broke away from the former Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The Census Area has been renamed to Hoonah-Angoon. These changes have been confirmed in the GNIS Database. --Polaron | Talk 12:58, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge. Kbdank71 19:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Irish-Italian-Americans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete as overcategorization - triple intersection, too narrow and would set a bad precedent (imagine the category clutter if all possible triple intersections were categorized - look at Vince Vaughn for the possibilities - Canadian, English, German, Irish, Italian and Lebanese descent, it is said, so where would you stop with the triple etc intersections?)

Anglican suffragan bishops

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: rename for consistency, no consensus on upmerge. Kbdank71 13:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anglican suffragan bishops in the Province of Canterbury and Category:Anglican suffragan bishops in the Province of York have a mixture of names for sub-categories - "in Foo", "in the Diocese of Foo", "in Foo Diocese", "in Foo diocese". Following this CfD, I propose renaming/merging the following categories to "Anglican suffragan bishops in the Diocese of Foo", for consistency:

Will finish tagging later. Tagged, and (per roundhouse0's prompting), WikiProject notified. BencherliteTalk 21:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that individual biographies should be categorised under the particular appointments held, not under a dicocesan or provincial category. This means that these small categories have noroom for expansion. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • As to upmerging, I have no strong opinions but would note, for the benefit of the closing admin, that (1) the categories already named "Diocese of Foo" are not listed above and would need to be included; (2) as well as checking whether York or Canterbury was the correct upmerge target, some categories would need further upmerges e.g. the London category is also a sub-cat of Category:Bishops of London. BencherliteTalk 01:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Category:Dynamo Moscow footballers

The result of the discussion was: rename. Kbdank71 18:54, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Dynamo Moscow footballers to Category:FC Dynamo Moscow players
Nominator's rationale: Rename. WP:FOOTY uses clear guideline for categories of football players. If the name of the club is distnict only to a football club, "players" from should be used. Dynamo Moscow is a multi-sport club but FC Dynamo Moscow is its football section. In the same manner we have ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:HC Dynamo Moscow players for ice hockey players. Renaming is therefore a logical step in further standardizing our WP:FOOTY stuff. Darwinek (talk) 10:09, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Navbox (navigational) templates

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: No Consensus (keep), though Jc37's proposal seems reasonable, and there is nothing to stop him or someone else from reorganizing the category as he proproses. After it is reorganized, there would probably be a consensus to rename. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 08:54, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Navbox (navigational) templates to Category:Navigation templates
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The name of this category is not obvious (unlikely for a reader to type) and different from what all other wikis have. Yecril (talk) 08:27, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both Navbox templates and Navigation templates would do. Navigational is a monster word; Navigative or Navigatory sound much nicer to me. Note that Navbox is not included in sister projects. Having both is an overkill; names should be simple, without embedded explanations or comments. --Yecril (talk) 11:14, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • You could use "Navigation templates" and "Navbox templates" and a few other plausible variations using {{category redirect}}s. This would help people who create a new template but don't know how it should be categorized, as the first approach would likely be to make an educated guess rather than navigate the entire tree. — CharlotteWebb 16:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Escapees from Afghanistani detention

The result of the discussion was: delete. Kbdank71 19:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Escapees from Afghanistani detention to Category:Escapees from Afghan detention
Nominator's rationale: Rename. At least as far as the adjective for people goes, "Afghan" has been decided to be preferred over "Afghanistani" or "Afghani" in previous CFDs here, here, here, here, here, and here. None of these specifically address the adjective used to refer to something "of the" government or state as opposed to people, but for consistency's sake "Afghan" would be preferrable in this context.

Category:South Korean films by decade (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: All decade articles were redirected to List of South Korean films per this AfD. Category now serves no purpose. PC78 (talk) 00:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
