The result of the debate was keep until Rfar is complete --Kbdank71 13:43, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Empty. Cfd notice was added on Apr 3 by User:Huaiwei. I don't want to get in the middle of this right now, but the category has been around since March 10th and it's empty. --Kbdank71 18:29, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete it. Note for RfAr that it was created by Instantnood with no consensus and obviously nobody wanted to put articles into it. SchmuckyTheCat 22:01, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• ISTR reading somewhere that categories can be speedied if they've been empty more that 24 hours. Anyone confirm? Grutness|^hello? Image:Grutness.jpg 01:22, 7 May 2005 (UTC) In light of further items below, I withdraw this comment. Grutness...wha? 11:00, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep one of the previous voters decided he was going to remove all the articles that were in the category, that's why it's empty, it's part of an edit war. --Wgfinley 15:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

:Who was the voter in question?--Huaiwei 09:59, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

::Pretty extensive listing of Schmucky's activities as of late on an injunction request in the RfAr [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Instantnood%2C_et_al./Proposed_decision#Motion_by_Wgfinley_on_behalf_of_Instantnood] --Wgfinley 21:12, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep for now, until Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Instantnood, et al. is resolved. See also Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/unresolved China. --MarkSweep 20:30, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
• The CFD notice was not removed after the nomination here on Apr 3 has been moved to /unresolved China. Despite being unresolved the category was depopulated and the articles were moved to a new created category. There is an article at Culture of Communist China, which "Culture of mainland China" was the former title and now serves as a redirect. This category, together with many related events, are part of the same issue and is now an ArbCom case. — Instantnood 19:57, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep Currency, delete Currencies, move regional currencies to National Currencies --Kbdank71 13:59, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Empty. Cfd notice was added on Mar 20 by User:Maurreen. --Kbdank71 18:24, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• I'd like to keep it and reorganise the :Category:Currencies and sub categories. Seabhcán 11:31, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Please don't make wholesale changes while a vote is in progress. I've added the cfd notice back to :Category:Currency. Also, you shouldn't have emptied out the category without a concensus. BTW, the "currency" is listed here because category names should be plural ("currencies"). --Kbdank71 16:36, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• It is more reasonable to have all the various national currencies in regional subcategories (ie. :Category:African currencies) because all national currencies are linked to a template (ie. :Template:AfricanCurrencies), which has a built-in category. Then the question becomes should we have these regional currency categories within a super-category called :Category:Currencies or :Category:Currency. Seeing that all articles about actual currencies are within the regional articles what is left for the super-category? There are general articles on the concept of currency, on exchange rates, etc. I think that these would be better contained within a Currency category. Seabhcán 18:39, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• See above: Unless the category to be deleted is non-controversial – vandalism or a duplicate, for example – please do not depopulate the category (remove the tags from articles) before the community has made a decision. That said, I think "currencies" work just as well for what you're trying to accomplish. --Kbdank71 18:44, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Either one would do. I was unaware of a rule that category names should be plural. I see that :Category:Currency is a sub category of :Category:Finance, I guess it will have to be changed to :Category:Finances. Seabhcán 19:05, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• That's a rather disingenious argument. A category title should be singular when the articles are about a particular subject, and singular when they list instances of that subject. --Azkar 18:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• I think that :Category:Currencies could be reasonably described as a duplicate of :Category:Currency. Seabhcán 22:15, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Since there seems to be a mixture of articles that are about currency as a subject, and articles that describe different national currencies, how about this: We have :Category:Currency as a super-category. All the articles about currency and exchange rates, etc., can go here. Since the national currencies appear to be organized by region, we can have a sub-category called :Category:Currencies by region, or even have :Category:Currencies as a sub-cat, if different categorization is needed at that level (although I could see this as being perhaps a little confusing to the reader). No individual (national, regional, historical, whatever) currencies should go in the super-cat. Could something along these lines be a workable solution? --Azkar 18:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

• Previous discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Dukes and Kings of Bohemia. I found this in unresolved. I say we remove the tag and leave it alone. --ssd 04:19, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
