The result of the debate was merge to :Category:The Legend of Zelda games. Conscious 07:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This category could only possibly contain two articles, namely The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and as such is utterly useless.--SB | T 00:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:Ought to be merged, I have no preference as to how -- ProveIt ^(talk) 20:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge both into :category:Dallas Texans (NFL) players, unless Meegs can remember why didn't we just call it that when we created it. (The other two Dallas Texans teams were in the Arena Football League and the American Football League, so NFL should be available.)--Mike Selinker 22:13, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:: As I recall, we thought date-based disambiguation might be better than league-based, since there have been two NFL teams under the name Baltimore Colts. Given that we've since added several league-disambiguated cats, renaming :Category:Dallas Texans (1952) players to :Category:Dallas Texans (NFL) players is alright. :Category:Dallas Texans players is empty, very ambiguous, and should be deleted. ×Meegs 05:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: They are redundant to :Category:Cities and towns in Uganda. In Uganda urban centres are usually towns or "trading centres".

Unnecessary brackets, no other category called Muse. Alternative meaning for Muse would never have a category in the singular anyway. BigBlueFish 15:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. The article has the (band) qualifier, and there are currently 12 muses with their own articles. -- Usgnus 17:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• :Surely these would go in :Category:Muses. Compare with :Category:The Farm, :Category:Fluke, :Category:Genesis, :Category:James, :Category:Oasis, :Category:Pulp and :Category:Queen, of the English musicians, whose only other exception is :Category:All Saints (band) which could be considered for a similar move. The singular form of the word Muse makes it a category title only suitable for proper nouns, and the band is the only one of those. All Saints COULD hypothetically be the category name for one of its other uses but it seems highly unlikely that a different form would not be preferable. BigBlueFish 20:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Good point. -- Usgnus 21:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• If this winds up with :Category:Muse and :Category:Muses, they will need a dab like opening so people don't assume that at least :Category:Muse is the wrong name. In fact if :Category:Muse is created, the other should be to avoid future confusion. Vegaswikian 22:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

It is inappropriate to categorize non-UK ships under "Victorian era", according to discussion on Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships TomTheHand 15:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Replace "Victoria era" with "19th-century"?  Regards, David Kernow 01:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Possibly... but I do think "Victorian era" is valuable for ships of the UK. On WP Ships we've been discussing possibly having a "Ships by commission date" category structure to complement our "Ships by era" structure, which focuses on events and doesn't try to have complete coverage (i.e. a ship potentially can fall into no eras). TomTheHand 02:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• "Ships by commission date" seems a neat solution, otherwise, yes, retain "Victorian era" for UK ships as subcategory of "19th century" ships for all nationalities. David 14:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:I initially started this page with the expectation that at least one minor league baseball franchise would be based there. After having looked over the records of them, I find that Hoover in fact never had a minor league baseball team.

However, I would greatly appreciate it if it could be indicated on the page :Category: People from Birmingham, Alabama which other communities should be considered a part of the Birmingham area in this context, so I can know to include them there.

Seems like the article would be better as Bielefeld Conspiracy rather than its current name. If that makes sense, go ahead and delete this.--Mike Selinker 18:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Probably a silly question, but why is it that real cities and town categories are all {{cl|Cities and towns in X}} but fictonal ones are always {{cl|Fictional towns and cities in X}}? The former way makes more sense, IMO, since cities are more important than towns in general terms, but consistency either way would be good, surely? Grutness...wha? 06:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• I thought about that when I broke those categories up, but went ahead and did it by the name structure that was there. I'm certainly on board with naming all of them "Cities and towns in X".--Mike Selinker 14:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Categorisation by geography in Scotland is normally in terms of current unitary authority areas rather than historic counties. Splitting the category into East, North and South Ayrshire would be consistent with other subcategories of :Category:Railway stations in Scotland and would allow these new categories to become subcats of :Category:Transport in East Ayrshire etc. Jellyman 12:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete if subdivided, but not otherwise. I suggest that if Jellyman wants this to done, he would be best advised to get on with it himself, as I doubt that anyone else will do it. Osomec 15:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

(or to :Category:History of the subdivisions of Russia) This category is a child of :Category:Subdivisions of Russia but contains articles about historical subdivisions/administrative divisions. IMO the name of the category should reflect its contents. My previous proposal for this rename deviated to discussion which of the terms is more suitable. Conscious 12:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC).

Delete - This category doesn't make any sense - what webcomics aren't "free as in speech"? thatcrazycommie 01:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This nomination was initially made on AFD. I am moving it to the correct location. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 12:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• This has been listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 12:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The nominator fundamentally misunderstands what free means here. In fact, very few webcomics are "free as in speech". Please read Gratis versus Libre. The sense we're talking about is "libre", not "gratis". –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 12:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment when I saw this, I was thinking it could be deleted since there are only two articles in it and at least one of those could be moved to :Category:Free software culture and documents. Now that I see the nomination, I agree with Adashiel that there has been a misunderstanding. However, I'm undecided because there is the independent issue that I don't know what a "free comic" is. For software, "free software" has four specific, accepted freedoms, but what are the useful freedoms for comics? I know that non-commercial redistribution is one useful freedom which a comic must have in order to be called free, but what are the other criteria? Gronky 13:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I read the Gratis versus Libre article before I made the nomination, and I stil don't see how it can possibly apply to webcomics, like Gronky.Thatcrazycommie 20:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Both Greeneyes and Everybody Loves Eric Raymond are released under the Creative Commons License. In Greeneyes case, the author maintains most rights, but you are allowed to copy the comics and distribute them so long as you don't make any money. For ELER, the license is even more liberal, letting you do basically anything so long as you attribute the original author and release any derivative work under a compatible license. Comics that aren't released under CC, a similar license or into the public domain are definitely not free, even if you don't have to pay for them. Even though people love posting their favorite comics all over the place, they're actually on shaky legal ground. They're somewhat protected by fair use (if they're in the US), but that's not much of a shield. For Wikipedia, which is based on the GFDL, a category that specifically identifies free content is significant. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 01:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• I'm not entirely convinced that the category is notable; is this really the comic's primary identifying characteristic? How many websites do we intend to categorize by their finer licensing details, and for what purpose? Luna Santin 07:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: We have other free categories, such as :Category:Free software. This is in the same vein, comics under a free content license. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 08:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Only one title was in this sub-category, moved to parent and nominating this as a currently unnecessary sub-category for this novel genre type. This is the only sub-category by novel, by genre, by year I know of and I know of no formal proposal for such as this. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Make two minor changes and rename to conform with similar usages: "rabbinical" should be "rabbinic", see rabbinical literature which redirects to rabbinic literature, as an example. And in this category's name the upper-case (capital) "R" should be a lower-case "r", as in other instances when "rabbi" is not the first word of the category, see :Category:Orthodox rabbis as an example.

The primary topic article is currently at "Gameshow Marathon". The dollar sign in the show's title is merely a style element of the program's logo; it is not contained in any official textual renditions of the title.

: Moved from speedy. This is possibly misspelling, but I doubt it is a ytpo. In any case, something requiring this much explanation could probably do with the extra time. SeventyThree^(Talk) 03:28, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Rename per nominator. The external links provided don't show much because they may not have been written with regard to the 'correct' title so much as the look of the printed page, but they don't refute the idea. On the other hand, since there's been no controversy over the page move this should be OK. SeventyThree^(Talk) 03:28, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
