Don't want to bite the newcomers, and especially not a promising one like Trident13, but Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Perhaps a reframing/renaming/merging might be better than deletion, but as it stands currently, not appropriate IMO. SP-KP 18:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Originally proposed for speedy renaming by Kalkin 07:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. No reason for it to exist other than propaganda. An encyclopedia needs to show a more sophistication than making a division of people into "pro" and "anti" anything. Chicheley 18:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. If the decision is made to keep, it should be renamed to "Veterans opposed to the Iraq War" for clarity. -- Usgnus 18:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

::Seconded. ×Meegs 06:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per Chicheley Osomec 16:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename/Upmerge to :Category:Veterans opposed to War. It would defuse any propagandistic usage and is certainly encyclopaedic. --E Asterion u talking to me? 18:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • It's just a crude and a great deal vaguer. How many wars would they have to be opposed to, which conditions would apply? Athenaeum 16:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This is un-encyclopedic. Plus, if we keep this, in order to keep WP neutral we would need a :Category:Veterans supporting war and both are just silly and worthless except at propaganda. --Dakart 08:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

==[[:Category:Teachers]] to [[:Category:Schoolteachers]]==

:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Rename --Cyde↔Weys 16:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

This category is mainly used for schoolteachers, and it makes sense to make that explicit as there is room for confusion, and if it is not restricted it is just a confusing dupicate of :category:Educators. This is made more necessary by the fact that in some countries the distinction between teachers and professors/academics is not as clear cut as it in the English-speaking world, which means that the purpose of this category can get lost in translation Chicheley 17:29, 11 June 2006 (UTC).

  • Rename as above. Chicheley 17:29, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. None of the other "teacher" related categories use "schoolteacher". The article is Teacher. -- Usgnus 19:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • So rename them all. ReeseM 01:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep all. -- Usgnus 17:13, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Please don't count these two keeps separately. ReeseM 01:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. I will list the others. ReeseM 01:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Now done. The Venezeulan category was in :category:Educators by nationality, but :category:teachers is only one of several broad subcategories of :Category:Educators. That illustrates one of the problems with the existing name that Chicheley mentioned. "Teacher" is more common in everyday use of course, but it is usually clear from the context that it is serving as an abbrevation for "Schoolteacher". In Wikipedia that context is largely absent. ReeseM 01:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep all -- the article Teacher was correctly named. Nobody is called "Schoolteacher" as a title. There's no problem with loss in translation, as the category has a main article with a clear definition. --William Allen Simpson 03:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • That assumes that everyone reads the article before using the categories, which isn't very likely. Osomec 16:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename all as nominated. The article Teacher should be replaced with separate articles called "Schoolteacher" and "Educator". Osomec 16:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename all. The proposed names are clearer and hardly too long. Calsicol 20:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename all This is a good idea. Ramseystreet 01:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • rename all Schoolteacher is clearer and more accurate and has no significant drawbacks. Athenaeum 16:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep and reverse merge -- also noting that Markles just created the new category and moved the articles, then came here for a deletion of the original. That's out of process. --William Allen Simpson 03:13, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Reverse merge as above. Osomec 16:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete. Vegaswikian 05:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

As per the category for deletion nomination for :Category:Omega models, and discussion at Talk:Cindy Crawford and Category talk:Supermodels, "Supermodels" is not an encyclopedic term for categorising. It is not a "real" profession, and the term itself is a media creation. It's also highly POV, because who exactly decides when a particular model extends his or her career from that of a mere model to a "supermodel"? I understand the term denotes exceptional earning power or visibility within the industry, but categories should not be based on levels of success, especially when the criteria for inclusion on such a list is highly subjective - the particular noteworthy, unique achievements of the individual should be discussed in their article, rather than using a colloquial term to try to group all of them under one elite category. The current category of "Models" is all but empty, but seems to me to be a more logical and encyclopedic place to list these people, as it uses the correct name of their profession.

  • Or, at least, most of the notable ones will be; the number of notable sporting organizations probably doesn't require a division of that nature. That said, is "sports" or "sporting" the preferred use, here? And without revealing myself as both a boorish American and a new editor, is there any precedent about American/British spellings (organisation/organization)? I doubt that last bit's important, but if it is, I thought I should point it out. Luna Santin 10:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
