The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:43, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Crime by medium to Category:Crime
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge Now that Stefanomione has basically depopulated this category in favour of his new Category:Works about crime -- which I have no problem with -- this category no longer serves any function, as I believe the remaining Category:Crime data‎ and Category:Crime-related lists‎ can be better and more logically housed in the higher-level category.

Category:Archaeology artifacts of China

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: consensus to change "Archaeology"→"Archaeological", but no consensus to change "artifacts"→"artefacts".
So the result is: rename to Category:Archaeological artifacts of China. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Archaeology artifacts of China to Category:Archaeological artefacts of China or Category:Archaeological artifacts of China
Nominator's rationale: Per Category:Archaeological artefacts. This category was, initially, nominated for speedy renaming, but the nomination was opposed due to the 'artifacts'-to-'artefacts' change. Regardless of which spelling is chosen – I prefer 'artefacts' because it is the spelling used by the parent category – the category still needs to be renamed to change 'Archaeology' to 'Archaeological'. -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:17, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Copy of speedy renaming nomination
  • Rename according to its initial spelling. Hong Kong is a dependency and its English spellings have no binding effect on the People's Republic of China. Jeffrey (202.189.98.142) (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose there are more bilingual English speakers in China (the mainland) than there are citizens of the UK, and American spellings predominate. If you're going to act on the area of an entire country don't base it on a single city that highlights its uniqueness from the rest. There is no argument against archaeology/archaeological. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per SchmuckyTheCat. SchmuckyTheCat from past discussions seems to have some knowledge of Asia. So if US English is more correct in China as a whole the US spellings should be accepted as correct. To move this for the entire country based on one autonomous region would be a major error on our part. If SchmuckyTheCat is correct then the entire China tree needs to be inspected and changed as necessary. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pornographic cartoons

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 to Category:Pornographic animation & purge. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:23, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming: Category:Pornographic cartoons to Category:Pornographic cartoons and animation
Nominator's rationale: OK, I'm blushing here. Most of what this category contains is animation, so that only seems right to not limit to cartoons (generally regarded as a subset of animation that utilizes caricature, though the line dividing what is and isn't cartoon is of course a gray area). It might be possible for this category to be completely restricted to animation by renaming to Category:Pornographic animation with all non-animation restricted to Category:Erotic comics, though that might seem a bit harsh if the distinction between non-animated cartoons and comics need be maintained.4.254.86.250 (talk) 22:59, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Documentary films about conspiracy theories

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 rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 07:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming: Category:Documentary films about conspiracy theories to Category:Documentary film and television about conspiracy theories
Nominator's rationale: I suppose along with it Category:Films about conspiracy theories to Category:Film and television about conspiracy theories. Category:Documentary films about conspiracy theories currently contains TV series and specials, while Category:Films about conspiracy theories can include fiction, but also should be expanded to include television as film & television segregation seem unnecessary.4.254.86.250 (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Online commenting available through Disqus (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Companies acquired by Bell Canada Enterprises. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Companies acquired by BCE to Category:Companies acquired by Bell Canada
Nominator's rationale: Acronym is ambiguous. Parent cat is Category:Bell Canada. LeSnail (talk) 21:10, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Froth Pumps

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Convert Category:Froth Pumps to article Froth pump
Nominator's rationale: This newly created category seems to be a reasonable stub with reliable references. I am unqualified to judge whether this should be merged into Centrifugal pump. It certainly doesn't belong in category space. LeSnail (talk) 21:00, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Volcanoes by geochronology

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 to "by geological period". Timrollpickering (talk) 21:25, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Volcanoes by geochronology to Category:Volcanoes by age
Nominator's rationale: This category contains sub-categories of volcanoes of each geological time period. Geochronology is an unnecessarily opaque and complex term for a category title for volcanoes grouped by age. "Volcanoes by age" is a much simpler and much more obvious category name, which would improve clarity of content and ease of navigation. GeoWriter (talk) 20:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep & cleanup. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:38, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Christian religious leaders (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category is an arbitrary mish-mash of articles and categories including abbot, list of popes (graphical), Category:Starets, Category:Television evangelists, etc. Considering them all together is basically original research and arbitrary (almost random.) A category tree that is specifically for clergy is simple and verifiable, but this is not. —Justin (koavf)TCM18:42, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Work at home (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: The articles that would fit here already have a home at Category:Telecommuting Dawnseeker2000 14:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Upmerge & delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Early telecommunications (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to Category:History of telecommunications and then delete. Vague title (and therefore inclusion criteria) and the upmerge I am suggesting covers the topic. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 08:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename per C2C (parent Category:Military occupations). The Bushranger One ping only 20:11, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Command staff occupations to Category:Military command staff occupations
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The military is not the only organization that utilizes a command staff making the current title ambiguous. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:15, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename per nom. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I was wondering why soviet jobs were unique, only to find out that was not the topic here. Clearly an ambiguous title that needs addressing. Not sure that the proposed name is the best choice, but if there is a better one out there, please suggest it. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:07, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note. This is not the only like named category, so there will be additional renames needed if there is a consensus for this one. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Russian comic characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Very misleading category name. It implies that these charterers are from Russian comics instead of fictional Russians in stories from publishers that are not necessarily Russian themselves. It has been used to replace Category:Fictional Russian people, which follows naming conventions found to be more acceptable for categories collecting these types of articles the last time "Nationality comics character" categories were looked at.

Category:Humor

The result of the discussion was: Rename & create redirect. There's a clash between the WP:RETAIN clause of WP:ENGVAR and the convention of following the main article; the prevalent feeling is that the article should take precedence. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Humor to Category:Humour
Nominator's rationale: The main article is Humour. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 02:25, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
