Nominator's rationale: After substantial work on improving the articles, there are now less than 60 stub articles in the stub cat. Should be upmerged to its parent category. Del♉sion23(talk)17:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from La Jolla, San Diego
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.
Oppose La Jolla is not a township, it is a community in the city of San Diego. The WP:OSE argument is problematic. If somebody decides to create, say, a "La Jolla, Mexico," it is easy to rename the existing La Jolla article to fit. Categories are much harder to rename. We cannot let how articles are named be the guide to how categories should be named, since category names are pretty much frozen in place once enough entries are added to them. La Jolla, California is a possibility, but La Jolla, San Diego is the more accurate name. Churn and change (talk) 20:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hold I have initiated a discussion on naming for the article itself here: Talk:La Jolla#Suggest renaming to La Jolla, California The convention is to use what secondary sources commonly use; the article's last move discussion has no data on what secondary sources do use. We can get back to the category renaming after that discussion closes, or if it stays open for more than a few weeks. Churn and change (talk) 16:52, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No longer opposing or asking for a hold; agreement based on the narrow procedural reason category should match article name. The discussion on the article name seems unlikely to get anywhere; those resisting adding "San Diego" produce no data to support the contention La Jolla is special and so there is nothing to discuss.

Nominator's rationale:Merge. Upmerge, rather. A small category that doesn't seem to need diffusion plus there doesn't appear to be a scheme of Fooian progressive rock songs. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me05:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Rename. Consistency (and correct English). Plural is "queens consort" not "queen consorts". And no need for an extra capital letter. Jmabel | Talk05:07, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename the category names are not utterly regular (one guesses because some consorts are not queens) but the form is generally "Fooian queens consort". Mangoe (talk) 18:20, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT - contains only the main article on the former city and the People from... category, with only one article. Little to no chance of expansion. Contents already appropriately categorised elsewhere. The BushrangerOne ping only04:53, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- I was going to say that the article on the place would do very well as the main article for the "people from ...", but I see that is up for deletion too. I assume the place article will go inot a county category, if it is not already there. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And what is that purpose, aside from being a category with two articles and zero hope of expansion? 'Eventualism' only works if there is anything, at all, to 'eventually' include in it. - The BushrangerOne ping only14:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice against recreation if more contents come to exist. For now there is no reason to subdivide the Douglas County category in this way. I want to be an eventualist, but I have doubts of this category ever being large enough, but I will leave the door opened to that possibility.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:16, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This appears to be an epononymous categry that is, primarly, categorisation by shared name, which we do not do, and I'm not sure we categorise by "named after Foo so goes in Category:Foo" either. The BushrangerOne ping only04:50, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.
Nominator's rationale: This category seems to be borderline defining for categorisation, particluary as there is {{NASCARROTY}}, which interlinks all of the top three series' Rookies of the Year along with listing the series and year, being a significantly more useful navigation aid. (Note that all drivers here are already in Category:NASCAR drivers and therefore no upmerge is necessary. The BushrangerOne ping only00:53, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- This essentilaly an awards category, which we do not allow. It is unnecessary to listify first as there is already a very full list article, giving not only the winner in three categories but also the runners up. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously though, category names are hardly set in stone - as mentioned, if the article name changes, the C2D criterion is just a few clicks and 48 hours away. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
