  • For what it's worth, the reason there were two categories is because some editors thought it necessary to use the category system to distinguish people native to Toronto from people associated with Toronto but native to somewhere else. I'm not aware of any other city where this is considered either a necessary or an accepted distinction to draw using the category system. Merge per nom. Bearcat 07:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

  • No Vote, Procedural nomination (moved from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wekepedians) alphaChimp laudare 21:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Original deletion reason on AfD: "I'm not sure if this is the correct route for this, but it appears to be a response to an edit war the user who created this category is involved in. Nuttah68 21:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)"
  • Delete: No use, except as a dig/attack. Does not improve the project in any way, nor aim to. Thanks/wangi 21:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: Does Wikipedia want well-educated, knowledgeable and expert contributors, who know what they are writing about and are experts in their fields? If, so I suggest keeping this user category to help encourage those put off by edit attacks from people who have little knowledge of the subject matter of the contributions and insist on forcing their own private agendas onto the Wikipedia project. Quality contributors contributing quality contributions as our contribution to a quality Wikipedia is what this user category is all about! Mallimak 22:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • :Comment: Perhaps consider assuming good faith, and trying to resolve edit disputes rather than escalating them and further disrupting the project. There are plenty of WikiProjects with well defined aims. Wikipedia:Wekepedians' notice board needs to be MfD'd too. Thanks/wangi 22:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete personal attack/arrogance. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 22:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, remember? Classing wikipedians into "well-educated, knowledgeable and expert", and "other", will divide the project.

  • Comment - Suddenly, the article on the Orkney Antiquarian Society has been deleted by Royboycrashfan with no discussion. This was an article on a recognised learned society that published a proceedings for a number of years, contributed to by leading Orcadian scholars of its day. It is precisely this kind of behaviour which demonstrates the need for Wekepedians. Mallimak 08:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} rename/merge to :Category:Democratic Party (United States) to get rid of POV "famous", until a better name can be found (note, both :Category:Democratic Party (United States) and :Category:Republican Party (United States) contain people. --Kbdank71 18:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Famous Democrats}}

  • Delete, Category has only 6 members. No way to ever make this fully inclusive. Also generally a red flag when Category begins with Famous..... --Brian G 18:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral I saw this category and found it moderately ridiculous. Were it populated, it might be a bit better, but that task would be quite laborious and difficult... Michael 19:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete too subjective (how famous? famous for what? for how long?) --Bookgrrl 21:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC) (change of vote) Rename per Vegaswikian, also create corresponding :Category:Republican Party (United States) members to head off future inconsistency. Although the list may get out of date when somebody switches parties... --Bookgrrl 00:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I would at least like the name better than the existing one, but I would still have concerns about populating the category. Would someone have to go through all the bios of every member of every congressional district through inception to add them all to the appropriate party category? What about state politics? What about re-introducing celebrities? What about Independents, ......? --Brian G 00:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, there is no requirement to add entries to a category, it's just something that happens. State categories could be added if the parent grows. The question is, is this a reasonable way to cagegorize politicants, the answer is likely a yes. If there is a need to do this on a state level, the state cat should have two parents, the one here and the other being :Category:fooian politicians. Vegaswikian 02:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to :Category:Democratic Party (United States) members or :Category:Members of the Democratic Party (United States). I could not find a cat that covers this grouping. Vegaswikian 21:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per Vegaswikian Sumahoy 22:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Classifying politicians by party could be useful, but the political leanings of most celebrities not named Bono are trivial and should not be used as a basis for categorization. - EurekaLott 00:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per Vegaswikian. User:Arual 18:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} rename/merge :Category:Books of fiction as nominated, keep :Category:Fictional books --Kbdank71 18:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:Category:Books of fiction to :Category:Fiction books

:Category:Fictional books to :Category:Imaginary books

  • Rename, Consistency with :Category:Non-fiction books, and to avoid possible confusion between :Category:Fiction books and :Category:Fictional books. Intangible 14:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename both these as per nomination. "Fictional books" is already being heavily used for "Fiction books" (solution: establish the proposed :Category:Imaginary books for the original purpose. then establish the proposed more conventionally named :Category:Fiction books (also for consistency with :Category:Non-fiction books as mentioned above) for works of fiction.) :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 14:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose "imaginary books". :category:Fictional books is a subcategory of :category:Fictional works, and should not use a different word. I'd prefer to just make the category text clear as to what it's for.--Mike Selinker 17:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Maybe it is best to rename that whole hierarchy? Along the lines of "imaginary works"?Intangible 18:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Exactly the point. The word "Fictional" is too ambiguous in meaning. Is is fiction in itself (does not exist) or does it exist but contain fictional subject matter (exists but content doesn't). :category:Fictional works sould be renamed as well, consistency should be maintained but in this case doesn't nullify the rationale for the change. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename the first to :Category:Fiction books and keep the second as :Category:Fictional books. --musicpvm 17:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Imaginary books. The name implies that the books don't exist. Honbicot 17:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Entirely correct, that is exactly what the category is "meant" to contain. The comment precisely demonstrates the problem the use of this term produces. "Imaginary" is clearer, unless someone can think of a better one. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. None of the books in :Category:Fictional books can be found in a library. Fictional, or fictitious, means imaginary. Intangible 18:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Actually these imaginary books can be found in imaginary libraries. See for example: [http://www.thelurker.com/features/necronomicon.htm the Necronomicon]. Bejnar 22:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename books of fiction -> fiction books for consistency's sake. Keep fictional books -- I think this makes it sufficiently clear that we are in fact talking about books that do not exist (e.g. the Necronomicon), and it matches the name of the main article fictional books. --Bookgrrl 21:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Rename. Change to fit naming conventions for Wikipedian categories. Cswrye 03:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I think that the purpose of this category is to show support for the Chevrolet racing team (which is why it used the term "fans"). In light of that, I would like to change my name recommendation to :Category:Wikipedian Chevrolet fans and recommend that this category be moved to the appropriate sports-related subcategory. --Cswrye 02:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Once again, I'm changing my support to the alternate proposal by Mike Selinker below. --Cswrye 21:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - If this category is not deleted, then I agree that it should be renamed. I would recommend :Category:Wikipedians who are Ducky-approved.

  • Delete. Permanent microcat? Very few companies are truly worth having their own categories. Wikilinks and mentions at the company page seem to suffice, if we're only looking at two products, here. Luna Santin 03:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikiproject spam noticed these article sets. 2 of the articles are under prod by me (and also prod2 by an anon apparently) This will soon be a cat with one article. Its part of the spam linking. Kevin_b_er 07:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
