Obviously a merger is needed here, but I think all the articles should go into :Category:San Diego, California so it is consistent with other cat names. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:23, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as is: Bloody pointless Kafkaesque workout in process this attempt at providing community information is going though. No reason for rename offered, only visible change is to create work, longer URLs and double redirects. --- Charles Stewart 00:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

To follow the naming normally used for most airlines in a country and to match parent category. Vegaswikian 22:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• Rename to standard. CalJW 02:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Rename per nom and standard. -Splash^talk 01:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and put all contents under Cat:Airlines, and treat all other Defunct cats the same. The whole "defunct" segregation system is silly-looking, requires constant monitoring of all Cats containing things which could become "defunct" (incl. people, places) and relocation of "defuncts" when they occur, is not an encyclopedic standard of historic record-keeping, and reflects blatantly the genex POV towards "dead people" et al. 12.73.194.157 15:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per anon; this is a good point. We don't seperate people categories by being alive or dead for the same maintenance reasons, and IMO it's more confusing and less useful to have to search through two categories ("active" and "defunct") to find an airline. Users looking for information on an airline obviously don't know everything about it, like whether it's active or not. The defunct/active distinction works well for lists, but is not helpful for categories. siafu 18:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• P.S., if there's no consensus to delete, consider my vote a Rename to fit the standard. siafu 18:34, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• If there is an objection to keeping defunct at all, then it should probably be discussed outside of this one nomination. That's a major policy question for a dedicated discussion. It impacts too much to make a decision here. Vegaswikian 05:43, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Broader category. MeltBanana 22:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose Fishing is not a branch of agriculture in everyday British English. Perhaps it is by some academic definition, but the category system is a navigation tool for the ordinary reader. CalJW 02:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Break up category into :Category:Agricultural occupations, :Category:Fisheries occupations and :Category:Forestry occupations. As it stands, it's a rather oddball category. There's minimal overarching interconnectedness between the three fields, and zero fuzziness in terms of which occupation fits where. -The Tom 06:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Break it up per The Tom, I think. It seems odd to categorise those three things together, really. -Splash^talk 01:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I have not real interest in how these are classified I was just bringing rather mixed up cats to wider attention. It should be noted that there are no fishing occupations in the cat, Fisherman is located elsewhere. The description in :Category:Agriculture seems to allow :Category:Forestry occupations to be a subcat of :Category:Agricultural occupations. MeltBanana 01:40, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Divide per The Tom, but "Fisheries occupations" would be better as :Category:Aquaculture occupations. siafu 18:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• I've relocated the forestry occupations into :Category:Forestry occupations, and seeing as there are no fisheries occupations in the category, I now say rename the remainder so they're consolidated into :Category:Agricultural occupations -The Tom 18:34, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

These companies increasingly provide services which do not involve the use of a telephone, eg cable TV and broadband. This is a subcategory of :category:Telecommunications and most of its own subcategories use "Telecommunications". Rename :Category:Telecommunications companies. CalJW 21:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Complex cat for one man. Dunno which is best but :Category:Equatoguinean people exists and :Category:Equatorial Guinean people doesn't. MeltBanana 20:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• Rename. Ah, but Eric the Eel is a complex guy. -The Tom 06:24, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Do not rename. I would have absolutely not a prayer of ever finding the category under the new name. A good reason to avoid naming occupations after nationalities. -Splash^talk 01:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. The CIA world factbook (which has been wrong on this account before) has both "Equatoguinean" and "Equatorial Guinean" as adjectives, and Equatorial Guinea does not use either. Is there some other reason to choose one over the other? If not, I'm leaning towards agreement with Splash. siafu 22:24, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:Merge both into :category:Telecommunications companies of Canada of Canada to agree with most of the national categories in :category:Telephone companies, which I am am going to nominate for renaming itself. CalJW 21:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge to Telecomms. -Splash^talk 01:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as proposed due to the fact that these categories effectively duplicate each other; note that there are a couple of instances (Grip Ltd., :Category:Canadian cable and DBS companies, etc.) where the redundant category should probably be removed rather than replaced with the new one, since they don't really fit :Category:Telephone companies.

(second try, see previous discussion) With one or two other exceptions all sports venues categories now follow X in country naming format consistent with the man-made objects in country convention described at wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories). Propose renaming all subcats of :Category:Football (soccer) venues by country from Nationality to in Country and establishing the in Country format as the standard on the conventions page. Individual articles are not yet tagged with cfru (will be if there are no violent objections). -- Rick Block (talk) 15:09, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

:They're all tagged now. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• Comment While I can see us varying Football/Soccer by country based on local usage, might it make more sense to standardize the nouns, too? While there's an element of local usage in effect there, too (ie, "grounds" isn't in use in the states), I see "stadia" versus "stadiums" versus "fields" versus "grounds" versus "pitches" versus "venues" as an issue where there often aren't clear terms associated with countries. I'm going to propose all going to the format category:[Football OR Soccer] venues in Fooland -The Tom 15:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Please do not make them all say "soccer". Honbicot 18:19, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• NOTE: The subcats were not tagged for renaming. I'm leaving this open for another seven days. --Kbdank71 14:25, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Rename with caution. Only the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and South Africa should use the word "soccer". CalJW 17:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• There's an argument that Ireland should also be considered a "soccer" nation, in light of Gaelic football being "football" in common parlance. See [http://www.ireland.com/sports/soccer/ The Irish Times], [http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/ RTE]. -The Tom 17:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• An argument for another time perhaps, but all the subcategories and articles in :category:Republic of Ireland football use "football", not "soccer". If you want them renamed, you can do a group renaming nomination separately. This current process should not create inconsistency where there was none before. CalJW 21:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• A fair point. Football it is. -The Tom 23:00, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

This is a very confusing addition to :Category:Wikipedia cleanup categories. It is a subcategory for all subcategories of its parent that have subcategories.

Category consits of only 2 articles, and with the death of 2 members of the band it is highly unlikely any new albums will be created. In addition, many more popular bands with more albums do not have a category nor should the Traveling Wilburys.

• Keep - Categorizing albums by artist (see :Category:Albums by artist) is a primary means of categorizing albums. Several such categories exist for artists with only a single album. There should really be a note about this in Wikipedia:Categorization (it comes up here fairly regularly). -- Rick Block (talk) 03:05, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
