1) name uniformity--the main article uses this format, 2) Google test has more hits for "music genres" (6.3m) over "musical genres" (2.8m) and 3) it further disambiguates the category from "Musical" theatre. --Kunzite 23:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose. English is spoken in Japan, but Japan is not an English-speaking country. But then, all these categories are somewhat dubious in that way. -choster 20:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Either keep under the present name or delete. The proposed new name is out of the question as English is spoken in all countries. CalJW 00:59, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose this rename as per CalJW & Choster. On a point of punctuation, if kept, this should be renamed :Category:English-speaking countries with a hyphen. Perhaps :Category:Countries where English is an official language might be a possibility?? Valiantis 01:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

:It would exclue the US which does not have an official language--it seems to be half? of the category--these don't seem to be well populated categories. --Kunzite 03:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

::It would also exclude England! --Mais oui! 08:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

:::It's questionable whether it is possible for England to have an official language as there is no national or subnational government of England to state what the official language is. If you're talking about the United Kingdom, then it is a matter of debate whether English is an official language. The WP article declares it a de facto official language. Clearly there is no single statute that states "English is the (or an) official language of the United Kingdom"; however, it is the language of Parliament (legislature), of the courts (judiciary) and of the executive branch of government. I'm well aware of the issues regarding the name I suggested, but it has the advantage of verifiability, unlike the current name or the suggested re-name. The fact that IMO it is still debatable whether a language is "official" or not would encourage me to suggest this cat is better as a list where such issues could be recorded, than as a cat.

: Submitter abstained, and noone else commented.

Please see comments below. :Category:Chinese language films was renamed from :Category:Films in Chinese in February by an admin, acting in good faith to achieve consistency, but without prior discussion. The cat name had previously been discussed in CFD here and consensus was to rename to "Films in Chinese" (the political/linguistic reasons can be seen in the previous discussion). :Category:Films in Cantonese was renamed thus at the same time for the same reason (see here) but, presumably as it is a subcat of the Chinese cat, was missed in the general renaming. I'm nominating them here without a specific rename proposal to get a consensus. My vote is Abstain. I haven't included them in the proposal below as I consider the unilateral renaming of the cat in February to be an inappropriate action. However, I would prefer consistency so I also don't want to "vote" for a rename back to "Films in Chinese" at the expense of consistency. Valiantis 21:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename all. - TexasAndroid 18:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I nominated the subcats of :Category:Films by language for renaming previously (see discussion) but there was no consensus on my proposal to rename all subcats to "Films in Fooian". Some weeks after that failed proposal an admin, acting in good faith to achieve consistency, renamed a number of the subcats without prior discussion. He chose to rename all to the form "Fooian language films" as the majority were (ungrammatically) thus named. The unhyphenated version is at best ambiguous and at worst downright incorrect. Please see hyphen#Rules and customs of usage. I'm now making an alternative proposal as per above so that the names are at least grammatical. Please also see the nomination re: :Category:Chinese language films and :Category:Films in Cantonese above which I am listing separately. Valiantis 20:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television). "Rome (television)" means the general concept of Rome on television. Individual TV series should be glossed with (TV series) in parenthesis.

:I really find it hard to accept the idea that just because you don't know what the American children's cable television network, Nickelodeon's annual award show is about, doesn't automatically warrant deletion. I'm sure that there are numerous award shows that certain people don't usually pay attention two. Since the Kids' Choice Awards have been around for nearly 20 years, it (if you ask me) carries enough of a historical background (so to speak) to warrant extra catagories. TMC1982 16 April 2006

::I'm not saying it isn't important to some people, but the question is is it really that important in relation to the career of the people in the cat, the answer I think, is no. Arniep 20:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

:The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards didn't have a lot of wide-spread news articles about it (at least on the Internet) until about 1997. I didn't even know for sure, who hosted the program beyond 1995 before finding the article on wikipedia.com. There have been many big stars (e.g. Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, etc.) who have hosted the program (to go along presenting and/or arriving in person) in the past few years (thus lending the show credibility). Just because the program airs on cable shouldn't automatically downgrade its merit. I would create (time and energy permitting) create a catagory that for people who have hosted the MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Movie Awards.TMC1982 18 April 2006

Delete -- WP:POINT creation by Tobias Conradi to illustrate his contention of category renaming for Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 April 4. The term is non-standard, having one badly translated reference in one document. The category itself is not notable, as these few articles are already categorized in their respective countries. --William Allen Simpson 10:07, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Useful to get an international overview. The name perhaps could be re-thought though, but I'm out of ideas! How about something with "defunct" or "historical"? --Mais oui! 11:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • That would be :Category:Historical administrative divisions by country, and if the category is useful, then I would support that rename. --William Allen Simpson 11:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • keep, it was not a point creation, I wanted to collect former and historical country subdivisions. such a cat simply did not exist. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 22:18, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • comment - the cat may include non-administrative subdivisions. This would result in cat-splitting. Furthermore if the other cats are not renamed WP gets a mixture of different catnames. Let's discuss this issue first, before rushing into rename. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 01:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and rename to :Category:Historical divisions by country. per Ëzhiki Carlossuarez46 20:28, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Such "pseudo-divisions" should not be included. What kind of divisions might these be: "political divisions", "corporate divisions", "automotive divisions"? Just because a Wikipedia editor describes something as a division does not make it so. Regions are not administrative divisions unless they meet the definition. These are technical meanings of phrases that cannot be decided by a vote here, they would require political bodies to change their own legal definitions and usage of the phrase. Please join the reality-based community. --William Allen Simpson 17:12, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • comment2 Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_4 - the subdivision categories survived. So maybe better to use "Category:Historical subdivisions by country". Especially since a division is allready one type of entities in administrative context. See: Division (subnational entity). Thus Historical divisions by country would correctly only include those of Pakistan and maybe some that were dissolved in India. It could also refer to historical military units, see the allready existing interference with :Category:Divisions - a category where the administrative entities of Myanmar, India, Bangladesh etc are not allowed to enter. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 21:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • They got a no consensus result so there is no precedent created. --JeffW 22:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The closer was confused by Conradi's voluminous objections. An actual count shows a clear consensus. As long as a few disruptive influences such as Conradi can override more knowledgable folks, there will never be "consensus". --William Allen Simpson 23:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • IMO Willy should provide evidence for these claims. Fuerthermore: more disruptive to me seems that once again Willy started a poll on this while a discussion was started at Category_talk:Country subdivisions (for new poll see Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_15#Subdivisions_to_appropriate_divisions) and he hides certain facts again on purpose or on unability/unwilligness to work cleanly. Willy stated for the second time (even after corrected when doing so the first time) that certain pages are under a certain name, but when examined it turns out he only lately moved them there. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 14:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Rebuttal -- I take great offense at the denigration by Conradi, and use of diminuative name calling. Due to his obvious ignorance of Scottish history, he probably has no idea of the offensiveness of his words.

::could you maybe vote on Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_4#Category:Subdivisions_by_country_to_Category:Political_divisions_by_country

I propose deleting :Category:New Zealand top 10 singles and :Category:Australian top 10 singles (see below), and moving the only other occupant of this "pretty vacant" (get it?) category - :Category:Number one singles - into :Category:Singles. I feel that this category is too small and lacking in usefuleness to stand alone, and that :Category:Number one singles is sufficiently important to be a level higher. --kingboyk 03:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Bhoeble 14:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep; I created this supercat to reflect the reality that people rank music by popularity all the time. All the billboard charts, top ten lists, number 1 singles, and download rankings are just examples of grouping by popularity. Not to mention the Dr. Demento Funny Five. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Except it's all but empty, adds an extra navigational hop, and hides the very important "number one singles" category from the higher level supercategory. --kingboyk 17:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Abstain Most articles on singles will be in one or more of the sub-sub-cats of :Category:Singles. It is standard practice to subdivide large "higher-level" cats firstly into "X by Y" categories; :Category:Singles is currently subdivided into several such "Singles by..." categories. I do wonder however if :Category:Singles is large enough currently to make the superstructure worthwhile. (Argued myself out of a keep vote here!) Valiantis 20:06, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

No other countries see fit to record top 10 singles which - unlike number one hits - are rather unremarkable and potentially very numerous. Also, these two categories are the sole occupants of :Category:Singles by popularity besides :Category:Number one singles, which is a very healthy category with many subcategories. --kingboyk 03:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete A bad precedent. The number 1s categories should be deleted too as chart success is a poor guide to lasting encyclopedic significance. CalJW 08:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. First, 10 is an arbitrary number to stop at (unless the chart only goes up to 10?) Second, there's a lot more countries in the world than Australia and NZ, and succesful songs will chart in dozens of them, so imagine how many catgories they'd be put in. Also, we don't really have articles about singles, we have articles about songs, so for songs where there's a notable cover version (American Pie, for example), there's no meaningful way to assign "top 10" to the subject of the article, which is "American Pie" the song, not "American Pie" the 2000 single by Madonna. Anyone volunteering to nominate the 'number ones'? Flowerparty? 15:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm strongly in favour of retaining the number ones categories. In days gone by, the number one was hallowed turf. It really meant something. Many music buffs, myself included, enjoy reading about the records that have hit the top spot, and find the category useful - what we don't need is some massive, arbitrary categorisation such as "top 10", "top 23 and a half", etc etc. Furthermore, whilst I accept that many if not most notable singles did not reach number one, I believe (and I think WP:MUSIC backs me up on this) that a number one hit in a sizeable country automatically confers notability. --kingboyk 20:21, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, that's why I wasn't going to nominate them myself :) I guess it doesn't hurt to have the number one cats. It's worth noting, however, that our list coverage in this area is excellent, at least for US/UK: List of number-one singles (UK), List of number-one hits (United States).
