  • Support per Grutness. --Mais oui! 00:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose deletion - as I mentioned in the similar topic for :Category:American bassists, it's likely some articles mention a person "plays bass" or "is a bassist", but don't specify which exact instrument they play. This parent category is therefore useful for holding the ambiguous articles and stubs until they can be expanded with more specific information on the particular instrument.

{{lc|Monotonous fictional characters}}

  • Delete, Redundant category already covered by :Category:Unemotional fictional characters. At first glance most if not all if the names here are already listed there, and the criteria for listing is pretty arbitrary -- either the character shows no excitement (and is therefore de facto unemotional) or "boring" which requires a bit of POV. 23skidoo 17:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I'd feel differently if this cat were filled with people who speak in monotone due to some defect in their voice box, but it looks like it's all "boring" characters and therefore complete POV. --M@rēino 20:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

:Category:Search engines had a mix of random stuff in it. I sorted through the mess and everything ended up fitting into more specific categories. :Category:Internet search engines is the right place for general Internet search engines. I created :Category:Search engine software to make an unambiguous home for that sort of thing. It looks to me like :Category:Search engines and :Category:Search engine websites should be merged. Since neither actually have any articles, it might be a good idea to further merge the contents of both into :Category:Searching. -- Beland 16:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

:I agree that the categories are jumbled, but be sure that whatever category replaces :Category:Search engine websites fits appropriately as a subcategory of :Category:Websites. A search engine is not the same thing as a the website which interfaces to the search engine. Yahoo! is not a search engine; it's a website, and one of its many functions is searching. ~ Booya Bazooka 17:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Do all (notable) search engines exist on websites, or, for example, are there some standalone search engine programs?  If so, I guess :Category:Search engine programs required.

{{lc|Villains with good intentions}}

  • Delete. This category seems to inherently rely on audience interpretation of the facts about a character, instead of anything which is actually in evidence outside of the character's own delcarations, and given that this list is widely populated with 'crazy' characters, are their own assessments of their motives valid? For example, Hannibal Lecter, human gourmand and mass murderer has 'good intentions' because he wants to reveal things about a victim to others, or to the victim? Or Poison Ivy? She wants to kill all humans so that plant life will do better. TO HER that's a good intention, to the rest of the world, that's xenocide. ThuranX 14:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. For characters like Magneto, it certainly applies. I do think some of the characters there, like Hannibal, don't apply, though. --DrBat 15:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Although I understand the general notion here, the criteria for inclusion is way too subjective. Even with Magneto above, does he REALLY have good intentions? At times his intentions are to demonstrate the superiority of the mutant race, which doesn't sound like a very good intention to me. Too hard to objectively verify.

:Weak keep - It seems to me that there are probably articles about specific Road Running races. Those articles would fit in well with this category. Likewise, articles about particular runners who race a lot of Road Running events, and organizers who put together these events, and Road Running specific organizations, all would fit within this category. So I can see some use for this category; it just needs to be further populated. Dugwiki 16:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

:Category:100 receiving touchdown club to :Category:American football players with 100 or more touchdown receptions

  • Rename in accordance with WP:NAME. The phrase "American football players" is slightly problematic as it could refer to Americans who play football (soccer) or those who play American football but I don't know of a very good solution. Suggestions are welcome but it seems clear to me that the current title is way too vague and unencylopedic ("club?"). ElKevbo 13:16, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

:I'd also be okay with listifying this and the other categories listed below by Meegs assuming their names are also changed. --ElKevbo 06:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I don't think this is a good use for categories, whatever their name. There are a number of other statistics categories in :Category:American football players that are similar. Among other issues, it is hard to monitor categories to make sure they are correct and complete. If we need to represent these sets of players, it should be in a list or article. ×Meegs 13:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Why not include all of the ...club categories? I wonder if these really belong as categories or would be better kept as a list. If I had to decide now I would probably vote to Listify all of these statistical categories. Vegaswikian 19:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

::*:Category:50,000 passing yards club

::*:Category:10,000 rushing yard club

  • Keep/Rename. The 100 and 200 passing touchdown club I think should be kept, along with the 40 and 50 Inteception club and the 10,000 rushing yard club. Their are more players with 50 interceptions but I got three surgery's on my ankle and I'm still trying to do my best. --Phbasketball6 14:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC) I won't mind one little bit if the name is change and if you delete those categories why don't you delete the :Category:300 win club and the :Category:3000 strikeout club categories while your at it. Not trying to be mean, just trying to make a point. --Phbasketball6 14:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

:Good point, but there are quite a few baseball cats and it's a bit late in the week. If the football cats are deleted or renamed, though, the subcats of :Category:Baseball records should probably follow suit in a different nomination next week. ×Meegs 15:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
