The result of the debate was Delete (empty) --William Allen Simpson 04:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Have depopulated this category - placing previous members into :category:live-bearing fish and subcategories :category:viviparous fish and :category:ovoviviparous fish. Also have created :category:poeciliidae for those live-bearers that were of that taxonomic grouping and populated it. In effect have replaced 'live-bearers' with 'live-bearing fish' - reason - felt that there was some confusion involved with using the term 'live-bearers' as a category and that it did not cover other live bearing families eg sharks.

The result of the debate was rename Tim! 18:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

This seems to cut off somewhat abruptly. The parent category is :category:Recipients of formal honors. Chicheley 22:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Rename as above. Chicheley 22:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to :Category:Time magazine Persons of the Year per Musicpvm below. David Kernow 01:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC), amended 03:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename, but I don't think magazine should be capitalized. I'd prefer :Category:Time magazine Persons of the Year (person -> persons) because it's not an actual award that people "receive". --Musicpvm 03:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename per Musicpvm. This is what I would expect the category to be called. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 03:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose, i.e. don't rename. The parent category makes it clear that these are "recipients". Adding it a second time is incredibly redundant. Also, as per Musicpvm, recipient is a bad choice that poorly fits the category. --JJay 14:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge both. the wub "?!" 11:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

These categories don't fit into the global system, which is based mainly on subdivision by service (army, navy, airforce, marines) and on rank (eg. generals, officers, enlisted men) so I think it would be better to Merge them into :Category:Swedish military people and start again on that basis. I have already made a move in the conventional direction by creating :Category:Swedish soldiers and :Category:Swedish generals. Chicheley 22:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC).

At first I was going to send this for speedy renaming to remove the capital "S", but on seeing that it is 8 months old but only contains Martin Luther King, I decided to bring it here. King is in such an array of overlapping categories that a reduction seems more useful than an increase. There are thousands of articles about people who were both democrats (in the global sense) and socialists, but apparently no-one has chosen to add any of them to this category since last October, and I can't help thinking that is a good thing, as every prominent politician is in a wide range of more specific categories without it. Chicheley 21:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as above. Chicheley 21:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I believe it is meant as a category of people who adhere to the political movement of Democratic socialism and as such it ought to be possible to populate the category pretty easily. I notice that there are a lot of names linked to the article. --JeffW 05:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• That article makes it very clear why the category should not be populated, as outside the U.S. it covers a high fraction of all politicians of the last 100 years or so. Senior politicians suffer from severe category clutter and adding them to this would make it worse while adding no useful information. Chicheley 15:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I was originally going to send this to speedy to lower-case the "S", but it is also necessary to specify which senate, in line with the intention of the category, as there are also senates in individual U.S. states. Chicheley 20:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Rename as above. Chicheley 20:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename. There are also senates in other countries. BoojiBoy 01:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• The relevant country is specified in "African American". Chicheley 15:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• "African American" is occasionally (mis)used to describe black people from other countries, and thus is not an adequate DAB. BoojiBoy 21:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• But since it is misused, that's not encyclopedic or verifiable. --William Allen Simpson 03:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I had removed Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as an incorrect categorization, but then started thinking that the two UN specialized agencies listed weren't really "charitable organizations". That leaves only International Planned Parenthood Federation, and that article is already in :Category:Pro-choice organizations, also up for movement and not overcrowded. Given a concern I have over phrasing (I doubt any of these organizations cheerlead for abortion), I would suggest deletion unless a more defined alternative is suggested.

"Revenge films" isn't a genre to my knowledge, and none of the articles in this category say anything to explain the use of this category. There's also no article to explain what trend is being illustrated here, and no criteria to explain this category's use. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. - Lady Aleena @ 21:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Not a recognized film genre. While it is true that some film historians have spoken of "revenge westerns" (Winchester '73, for example) there is no such thing as a "revenge film."--Mantanmoreland 00:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep This is a POV issue. Quentin Tarantino or a regular contributor to Ain't It Cool News would say unequivocally that the revenge film (or revenge flick) constitutes a genre. Also, academic papers and books have addressed the theme of "rape-revenge" in movies. While I see vengeance as more of a theme than an element indicating a genre, it is a dominant concern in enough movies (particularly in Italian crime films of the 1970s and works by Park Chan-wook) for it to be a somewhat useful categorizing agent. Form criteria and prune. --Jonathan F 09:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Hm. In that case, I really think this should be listified, preferably in an article about the genre. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename or Weak Listify. The vast majority of action films could be fit into this category--Robocop is only a slightly more extreme example. If the list is narrowed down to focus on women then it would be worth keeping in my opinion. Womens Studies/Feminism has written a lot about how films like Thelma and Louise are an indicator of a changing role for women in society (e.g. revenge via seduction in Fatal Attraction and cliques in Heather to women taking on more active roles traditionally filled by male heros like Linda Hamilton's charater in T2 or Uma Thurman in Kill Bill). These readers would find this type of category or list useful, especially if there were clear criteria for inclusions (e.g. that revenge be a MAJOR theme of the film). I don't know what the best title for this rename would be--'female revenge films' is one option. This has potential as a category if some of the related academic lit and researchers were included although those would better belong in a 'feminist media studies' type of category. Antonrojo 14:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• My understanding is the revenge film is a type of exploitation film—that's why its exemplars include I Spit on Your Grave and the Death Wish series. I don't know if you'd call Kill Bill or Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance trilogy" exploitation films, but they certainly exploit the viewer's interest in violent retribution. I think the name of the category is correct (or :Category:Revenge flicks? :-)), but if kept it should be a subcat of :Category:Exploitation films. Jonathan F 06:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• If this really is a sub-genre of exploitation flick, it needs to be weeded badly, then. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

There is no article about Broadway opera. I think the term "Broadway opera" came from Kurt Weil. The members of this category seem to be here for arbitrary subjective reasons. Perhaps the best way to handle these cross-over productions is to categorize them both as musicals and operas when appropriate. --Samuel Wantman 07:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Quick research suggest that the term, while sometimes used, does not have an accepted definition, and the inclusion of shows like Tommy and Les Miz, which are neither operas nor original to Broadway, suggests that the people who populated it don't have a robust definition either.

This category lists people from a relatively small town in Massachusetts, contains one article on Rose Kennedy, and has little potential for expansion beyond members of her family which already has a Wikipedia category dedicated to them. --TommyBoy 06:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Thanks for populating, Mareino. ×Meegs 15:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I haven't actually completely populated any of the new categories of this type that I have created, but will do so as soon as I have gotten them all in. That should be by the end of this week. However, the town has existed for almost 400 years and has a current population of about 50,000 people, so I would think that the number of significant people connected to the town is probably more than enough to warrant its inclusion. The only question will be whether anyone creates those articles, not whether they could ever exist. And my thanks to Mareino for the quick work, too. Badbilltucker 18:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Keep, but also categoize every person by State. Breaking every State into subcategories seems like over-categorization. If this is useful and worth keeping, then the members should also be in :Category:People from Massachusetts and the template {{allincluded}} should be used. This sort of duplication would be covered by existing categorization policy. Without the duplication, the value of the State categories gets diluted. The big issue that has to be decided, is if categorizing people by the towns they are from is a useful and encyclopedic use of categorization. I don't think it is.

The result of the debate was No consensus to rename --William Allen Simpson 04:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I know this just came up a couple of weeks ago, but it seems as though a consensus was emerging for this rename. I'm hoping that people can read the previous discussions and limit any response to whether this rename would be acceptable. This rename would make the category NPOV and it would therefore be possible to verify that people should be included in the category by looking to see if claims of anti-Semitism are cited in an individual's article. --Samuel Wantman 06:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. No, the last vote was closed less than a week ago on 21 June 2006. Also, you have not even bothered to mention your proposed name change on the Talk page. In fact, your only edit there was to delete info. Your proposed name is terrible and extremely POV ... "accused of."--Doright 08:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

::Saying that someone has been accused of something by another, and citing when and where, and then citing a counter argument is anything but POV. It is a way of presenting a controversial subject in an NPOV way. The only information I removed from the talk page was the reporting of CFD as a vote. CFD is a poll, the idea is to reach Consensus through discussion. -- Samuel Wantman 10:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Hopefully, after reflection, you’ll understand that to “accuse” someone is POV, whereas to “categorize” or “identify” is NPOV. You introduce a POV term into the category name and appear to want to turn this into a POV category. Why don’t you create categories for people “accused” of being Atheists or “accused” of being Christian or “accused” of being Muslin or of people “accused” of being Jewish or “accused” of being Hindu or “accused” of being Pagan? Get it? “Accused” is POV. Why don’t you remove your nomination for this name change and move the discussion to the category talk page where discussion may ensue and a consensus achieved? Again, there is no justification for removing statistical information from the talk page. Your complaint is a straw man.--Doright 20:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

::::That's just not true at all. It is a question of fact whether any such accusations have been made (and it's a pretty safe to assume that no-one of any note against whom such an accusation could conceivably have been made has been spared, so no-one will be left out). Your analogy is false because they other categories are for proponents of a belief and this one is for opponents of something. Note that the latter is a much rarer type of category. It should also be noted that the previous discussion was about a different proposal. Chicheley 22:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose (or keep). The name doesn't have to necessarily imply that they are accused. But also, why list them if they haven't been verified as such? That would almost amount to libel. This category exists for people like Adolf Hitler and David Irving and in my humble opinion it's doing it's job just fine. Эйрон Кинни (t) 10:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

::I voted to keep last time around, but your point is the entire problem. Hitler is pretty easy to put on the list. So are some other people. But then there are people who are a little grayer and then there are people who don't belong and are just added for some agenda reason. I am trying to edit this category the same way I would edit the list of Polish-Americans. Only people who it can be sourced are labeled by a number of reliable, neutral sources should be included. Martin Luther wrote some nasty hateful stuff towards the end of his life on the Jews. It amounted to 1/100th of his overall writings I have been told, but was used by others after his death to spread hate and racism. Was Luther an Anti-Semite? I sure don't know. If a number of neutral reliable sources say he was, he should be labelled that way, ok. I saw that Richard Nixon was added to this category. Anyways, just some thoughts, good luck..--Tom 13:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Rename per nom. (Potential attack category which should perhaps be deleted.) Chicheley 22:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename as it is probably more acurate, Irving would likely deny it and Hitler hated almost everyone. Though 'Semite' can acurately refer to Christian and Islamic Palestinians, Lebanese or ancient Phoenecians as equally as to Jewish people regardless of geography and race. The use of the term in common practice is inacurate, the precise nature of the term is subsumed by coloquial usage and as such is rarely understood to mean what it actually historically does. Xenophobia is far more acurate but less specific or emotive.—Dananimal 23:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose What about people who openly admit to being anti-semitic - the "accused of being" 'tag' just doesn't seem to apply in that case. Suggest thinking about having two categories - though 'people accused of being xxx' seems to be very much on thin ice as it amounts to speculation of opinion.HappyVR 23:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• :I would have no problem with adding :Category:Self-identified anti-Semites and only adding people who have citations for saying "I'm an anti-Semite" or "I hate all Jews". That information can be verified. But in many cases the label "anti-Semite" cannot be verified and is subject to interpretation. -- Samuel Wantman 06:37, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose and agree with List of marijuana slang terms that the category should be locked down. These constant efforts to rename/delete this category are disruptive and divisive. What's next week's renaming effort after this one fails? The week after's? Let us simply come to grips with the fact that there are anti-Semitic people, now and through history, whose identities can be objectively determined through their actions and writings and statements. --Mantanmoreland 23:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• :This is the first discussion about this renaming. The first two were about deleting and the third was about renaming to a different name. This rename was suggested during the last rename. The way to reach consensus is to hear the valid concerns that each side makes. Nobody is going to argue that Hitler was not an anti-Semite. But there are many people that are in a grey area where their anti-Semitism is subject to interpretation and there are different conclusions. Some people say that anyone who does not support the State of Israel is an anti-Semite. Others will disagree. An NPOV category has to make distinctions that are clear. It is not up to a Wikipedian editor to weigh the facts and determine if a person was an anti-Semite. That would be original research. As editors, we have to be able to point to a citation to validate putting something in a category. What citation can you point to that proves that someone is an anti-Semite? You can point to a citation in which the person self-identifies as an anti-Semite. People in this case should be categorized as "self-identified anti-Semites". People can be convicted of an anti-Semitic hate crime, and I'd have no problem with adding a category for that. People can be also be accused of being an anti-Semite. What is the NPOV test for putting someone in :Category:Anti-Semitic people? Convince me that there is a good NPOV test, add it to the top of the category, and I'll withdraw the nomination. -- Samuel Wantman 07:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

::That is utter nonsense. What is the "POV test" that is used to determine who is an "American fraudster" or "Neonazi" or what is a "Cult" or any number of perjorative categories in Wikipedia. The "test" as you put it is the consensus of the editors of each article in the category. That is true for this and all categories. Yet all kinds of perjorative categories like the ones I mentioned get a free pass while this one is continually hounded. Enough. This category should be protected from further meritless attacks that in my view are contrary to WP:POINT.--Mantanmoreland 20:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Rename per nom. This would support WP:NPOV.--Drboisclair 01:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• :How?--Doright 01:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

::That is elementary: that Wikipedia does not make a judgment on whether or not the individual is antisemitic.--Drboisclair 02:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Your language is a bit too elementary and your thinking a bit unclear. What does "Wikipedia does not make a judgment" mean? Do you mean that no "categories" should exist in Wikipedia? That seems a bit odd.

:::You don’t seem to mind that Wikipedians cite sources according to WP policies to categorize Martin Luther as an Augustinian, a Christian, a Theologian. You only object when the same WP policies are used to categorize him as an anti-Semite.

:::This is elementary: It is a double standard similar to those used by anti-Semites. --Doright 03:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose a rename. This appears to me to weaken the category criteria. Many people are "accused" who probably lack the overall support to make it into :Category:Anti-Semitic people. (There is a similar proposal to add "alleged" to :Category:Cults) Gimmetrow 15:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose weasel word category names; being an "alleged X" isn't worth categorising. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose the proposed rename on the grounds that it would lower the bar for inclusion and make it even more subjective and a magnet for POV pushers. (Would, however, support a delete of the category.) KleenupKrew 20:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Rename: Categories of occupations (Category of tailors, let's say) or conditions (cancer survivors...) can easily be built with objectivity, but categories of ideologies, especially controversial ideologies very often denied, are of a different kind. When the individual denies the belief, labeling them as holder of the same belief will oftentimes need a subjective judgment on the part of the wikipedian, however obvious it often may seem (that which I am not disputing). Furthermore, some entries have qualifications that are not even agreed upon and are still in debate amongst the intellectual community (an example is the entry of Lionel Groulx). If the name were to be kept, the category would have to be mostly restricted carefully to avowed anti-jews. --Liberlogos 06:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

:So why the double standard? Why is it then that Category:Neo-Nazi Movements and Concepts[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Neo-Nazi_movements_and_concepts] exists unimpeded since 2004 without objection from anyone, and this rather obvious category is continually hounded and subjected to constant, disruptive efforts to rename/delete it? Why not rename it "Alleged Neo-Nazi Movements..." or "Movements Accused of being Neo-Nazi." The double standard that is implicit in these constant renaming/deletion efforts is troubling.--Mantanmoreland 15:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose - I thought I had opposed this before. GabrielF 15:47, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Rename, or better Delete echoing reasons listed by Mantanmoreland. Like the claim of racism, this label is highly subjective and should be replaced by categories that focus on measurable characteristics or actions such as 'Holocaust deniers'. See also a similar proposal for :Category:Cults located here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_June_28#Category:Cults] Antonrojo 16:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, measurable characteristics such as engaging in Holocaust denial or calling Jews a "dirty religion" or, perhaps, killing Jews. And please don't misrepresent my position. I feel this category should be kept and that the incessant attempts to eliminate it and rename it reflect a double standard. Your effort two days ago to rename cults as "alleged cults" does not undercut my point that Category:anti-Semitic People has been unfairly and repeatedly singled out.--Mantanmoreland 14:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Part of my thinking on this nomination was because there aren't that many dragons in the Spyro series in general -- many of the articles don't (as yet) say much more than identifying who the character is/was and which Spyro game they appeared in -- also, considering that many Spyro characters are specific to individual Spyro games rather than the overall series, they could be potential merge-to material themselves. --Stratadrake 04:44, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Rename per nom. "Scandal" is a sensationalist tabloid word and there is no need to use it in an encyclopedia as there is a good alternative. Merchbow 17:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rename -- the others have been recently renamed controversies, too. I moved the text into an article, Jack Abramoff controversies, as we usually don't see annotated category pages. --William Allen Simpson 03:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• The others were named without consultation or discussion, and I put them back to "scandals". BTW, I note that Watergate redirects to Watergate scandal. I would apply the same reasoning here. -- Sholom 12:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose - keep as scandal. It's a controversy until a bunch of people a convicted within the legal system (or, at minimum, a bunch of folks resign); once that happens, it's clearly a scandal. Would we call the House banking scandal a "controversy", for example (four people were convicted). The Watergate "Controversy" (multiple convictions, one Presidential resignation)? Abramoff was convicted; a bunch of others were convicted; more are possible. The criteria is really clear and clean here, I think. John Broughton 13:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose - keep as named. Controversy seems to me to be needlessly unfamiliar and unusual [http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=abramoff+scandal&word2=abramoff+controversy (scandal returns more than 4x the hits of controversy)], inaccurate as it is not a reference to a discussion but rather a disgraceful incident (see wiktionary [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scandal scandal] and [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/controversy controversy]), and to this native en speaker, awkward. --Flawiki 13:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Most of those hits are from the media, but this is an encyclopedia and should have less sensationalist standards. Osomec 17:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• The google hit reference is supplied to highlight the atypicality of calling this a controversy. Even if one discounts the novelty of that label, the suggestion's worthiness fails to resurrect for other reasons: The matter is decidedly not a controversy and it'd be inaccurate to label it a controversy in an encycopledia, and, it's an awkward moniker. --Flawiki 19:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• I woud add the question: why is the word "scandal" not "enclyclopediac"? Does anyone talk of the "Teapot Dome Controvery"? (WP has it as Teapot Dome scandal. Same for Watergate scandal. Same for Black Sox scandal, Abu Ghraib scandal, House banking scandal, etc etc. Why is it appropriate for those, but not here?
• Oppose - keep as scandal. This isn't a political dispute; this is a textbook political scandal -- i.e. criminal behavior related to politics involving politicians and others. --User At Work 17:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment – Either is fine with me, but [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=en&q=%22Middle+Tennessee+State+Blue+Raiders%22&btnG=Search "Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders"] outgoogles [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=en&q=%22Middle+Tennessee+Blue+Raiders%22&btnG=Search "Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders"] by a factor of five, and seems to be what's most frequently used by the press. Maybe this is a recent change on the university's part. ×Meegs 05:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Reply to comment: This is indeed a fairly recent change on the university's part, mainly for athletics purposes, but also for general usage. The main article notes that the school now uses either "Middle Tennessee" or "MT". They've dropped the "State" to accommodate a long-rumored change of the school's name to the University of Middle Tennessee. Note also that the school's main logo heavily emphasizes the "Middle Tennessee". — Dale Arnett 13:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
