Category:NBA championship seasons

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. Given that reliable sources and existing article names support the existing category name, this is highly unlikely to receive a consensus to rename at a subsequent relisting. No prejudice against a speedy renomination so long as all editors here are notified, but I don't think this needs relisting. (non-admin closure) ~ RobTalk 18:25, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The term "NBA championship seasons" is vague since "championship" could refer to division, conference or Finals. The proper name is NBA Finals, and the word "champion" should be used since it refers to the team and not the event. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose NBA championship commonly refers to the league championship, not a lesser conference or division championship. See List of NBA champions, an FL whose name uses the same naming convention when referring to the league champions. If there is any reasonable doubt, the description for Category:NBA championship seasons already clearly states: "This category lists the seasons of basketball teams that won the NBA Finals."—Bagumba (talk) 08:25, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: An earlier 2012 creation by Stefanomione, let's at least rename so that it avoids the ill-defined nature of now-deleted Category:Discipline, as outlined here Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_May_5#Category:Disciplines, and actually matches category's description:
... as well as the parent category, Category:Academic disciplines. Pruning may be necessary -- with the addition of things like his Military works, it seems to me that Stefanomione was just muddying the waters again -- but this could be a workable category. No objection if someone wants to propose a better solution, including outright deletion. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:07, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:37, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Another terminal-stage Stefanomione creation in May that seems to be utterly pointless, useless to anyone other than himself, and an obstacle to easy and intuitive navigation for our readers. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:55, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: With Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_May_5#Category:Disciplines, we had consensus that Category:Disciplines was vague and undefined (Category:Academic disciplines being a different matter, with its own bona fide main article, Discipline (academia).)
In one of Stefanomione's final acts that led to the ANI that saw him banned, here he mixes together seemingly anything and everything as a "discipline"... from forensics to the arts to politics to healthcare, etc., etc.
There's no meaningful delineation here, so let's upmerge to Works by topic. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I actually created this category. But now I think it was a mistake per WP:OVERCAT. All Sankarist political parties are socialist and the vast majority of them are in Burkina Faso. Charles Essie (talk) 18:29, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep Category:Pan-Africanist political parties in Africa; no consensus on Category:Pan-Africanist political parties in the Caribbean. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The parent category is small enough for all content in this subcategory to fit in. The vast majority of Pan-Africanist political parties are in Africa anyway Charles Essie (talk) 18:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: administrative close: category was speedily deleted and category creator was blocked. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category created with no apparent understanding of what categories are for, and states an intention to add a wide variety of unrelated topics BilCat (talk) 15:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
