Should be :Category:Radio stations by country which is the format used by every other such category. - SimonP 23:17, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

  • Rename As per SimonP. I was worried there would be too many listed in the US, then thought we may need to break it down by state, but to my surprise, its a fairly empty category. <>Who?¿? 17:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It already got broken down by state (and Canadian ones by province), and there are a few people like me who keep an eye on these things to refile anything that goes into the main category instead of the appropriate subcat. Support rename, by the way. Bearcat 00:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename. Sebastian (talk) 06:13, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
  • Rename to specify what type of location this is. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:51, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The planets that were originally listed in this category were all merged into one article due to them all being stubs (see List of Star Fox planets). This category is no longer necessary. Empty. K1Bond007 20:54, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

This very new category is far too vague and will surely be open to misinterpretation and misapplication. So far, it lists mostly obscure Khazars and chracters such as Agrippa I lumped together with the Biblical Nehemiah with the ancient Kings of Judah and Israel as subcategories. What's next? "Christian rulers"? "Buddhist rulers"? "Atheist rulers"? Will Abraham be listed? How about Jesus, he was Jewish and a "ruler"? etc, etc. This category must go ASAP IZAK 06:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This strange category was created on June 22, 2004, and so far, it has only one article Palestine (region) in it and one subcategory :Category:Palestine in it. Nothing else. It is therefore not needed because the :Category:Palestine is completely sufficient on its own... (unless someone can come up with some more "Middle Eastern territories" that should be put in it some time soon). See: the Territory article, for the broadness of this term. Does :Category:Middle Eastern territories mean to include occupied territories? Or disputed territory such as: Ceuta, Melilla, and Isla Perejil disputed by Spain and Morocco, or the Hala'ib Triangle disputed by Egypt and Sudan? Or Western Sahara disputed by Morocco and the Polisario? Or Kabylie that wants to get rid of Algeria? Or the Hawar Islands disputed by Qatar and Bahrain? Or the Kurd and Assyria areas that want to break away from Syria? etc, etc, and so forth... which makes it all the more puzzling why only Palestine (region) and :Category:Palestine are listed? One has to conclude they are not listed because the notion of "Middle Eastern territories" is a political myth. IZAK 06:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete,because it is redundant (:Category:Palestine is enough), unless all "disputed" and/or "occupied" territories are described as "Middle Eastern territories" (which they are not). IZAK 06:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be just :Category:Roller coasters - SimonP 01:17, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

  • Agree, speedy? -- Rick Block (talk) 02:16, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Agree--BaronLarf 12:29, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Agree, although I suggested we might make it a list instead of a category... There's some talk of it on the current category's talk page -- BrandonR 22:53, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or Rename to :Category:Roller coasters. I can't imagine any harm done by this category (as long as the articles themselves are encyclopedic). I even vaguely remember a pertinent question on WP:RD a month ago. Sebastian (talk) 06:20, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

These 3 categories are redundant, mostly unused and self redirecting. More over,the request templates point to :Category:Articles needing images.

:1) :Category:Wikipedia requested photos

:2) :Category:Requested photos

:3) :Category:Picture request

:*1) Is rarely used, as it currently only has 1 article, which was placed there in Oct 2004 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Norman_Morrison&oldid=6855655]

::(moved article to :Category:Articles needing images <>Who?¿? 17:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC))

:*2) Is a sub-cat of (1), and was intended to point back to :Category:Wikipedia requested photos, its parent, but the wiki code was done wrong. Hence, it is empty and unused.

:*3) Is an empty category with a link that points to Commons Picture requests.

:* All of these links and topics are currently covered in :Category:Articles needing images, which I recently added to the categories :Category:Wikipedia requests and :Category:Wikipedia images, where it would be utilized more often.

:*I propose we delete (2) and (3).

:As far as (1), it better matches the category name schema with :Category:Wikipedia requested articles. If (1) is kept, that would either mean renaming and/or deletion of :Category:Articles needing images and editing the templates, or adding a redirect to it pointing towards (1).

<>Who?¿? 04:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:The articles are using {{reqimage}} to be assigned to :Category:Articles needing images, once the template is edited, they would then of course be in :Category:Wikipedia requested images - <>Who?¿? 06:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: I still don't see where the picture name comes in. If we had a way to make a name appear in a category (as e.g. discussed in User_talk:R._S._Shaw#Categorization), that might be an option ... Sebastian (talk) 08:17, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

::: The actual "picture name" has nothing to do with :Category:Articles needing images, this category was created solely for the purpose of the Template:reqimage . Editors have the option of requesting an image either by adding to Wikipedia:Requested pictures and/or using {{reqimage}} on the article. The category is for the article requiring the image, even when there is an image request, its for a specific article, it's pointless to request an image and not have a destination. <>Who?¿? 19:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::: Thank you for your reply. Instead of talking about "picture name", I should have written: I still don't see what's wrong with the name "Articles needing images". But I trust that you guys know what you're doing, so I'll abstain on this third sub-issue. — Sebastian (talk) 20:07, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

  • Moving as it seems there is a general consensus, due to the fact the cat's have been deleted. If there is no opposition, I am going to start the :Category:Wikipedia requested images, with the appropriate info, and then updated the templates to populate. <>Who?¿? 04:30, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
