: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 No consensus to delete --William Allen Simpson 04:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Deletion overturned at WP:DRV [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review&direction=prev&oldid=52046825#Category:User_kon here]. Relisting here because I feel the DRV folks were laboring under a misconception. While TFD found that the template was useful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_February_27#Template:User_kon here], the related CFD decided that the category itself was not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_February_26#Category:User_kon here]. One of rationales was that the template "now has more users". {{tl|User kon}} currently has 2 users, found using 'What links here'...which should be all anyone needs to find another kon user. In the meantime, a bunch of other vanity categories were just deleted in the past week so while the template itself was upheld by TfD, there's nothing that should tie the category itself to the template and cause its re-animation. Syrthiss 22:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:Keep - it was my fault to list it for Cfd as explained in the DRV: Categories populated only by a template need a Tfd, not a Cfd. {{Lts|Catfd}} could do this, but better not with this harmless "Category And Template", the poor author isn't responsible if we have difficulties to understand the fine points of the category deletion policy. Of course the CAT is dubious at best, but the Tfd failed. <shrug /> -- Omniplex 07:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep. Syrthiss 01:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

There do not seem to be any particular criteria for inclusion in this category or in its three specifically related subcategories: :Category:Disney franchises, :Category:Computer and video game franchises, and :Category:Science fiction by franchise. Some discussion previously came up on the talk pages for the latter two subcategories, but neither was actually nominated for outright deletion before. Judging by the contents of these categories, it would seem that any film, game, TV series or book qualifies as a "franchise" if it is a successful brand name, which seems to be as simple as getting a single sequel or getting adapted once into another medium. There aren't any categories for profitable or notably merchandized media, nor should there be - that boundary would be far too fuzzy to be useful or maintainable. (The closest is :Category:Brands, but that's not the same thing.) There are already categories for sequels, series, fictional universes, and adaptations into other media, and everything in these categories seems to have been included here because it fell into one of those four existing categories. In particular, the SF franchise category seems to want to be :Category:Science fiction universes. The contents of this category and the aforementioned three subcategories should be merged into whatever other categories are appropriate, and all four categories should then be deleted. -Sean Curtin 22:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose. This all seems exactly the right categorization scheme to me. There's a lot that probably should go into these categories that isn't there.--Mike Selinker 02:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, of course there's a lot to go into these categories that isn't in there already: the apparent criteria for inclusion in the category are excessively broad and vague. As I said in the nom, every piece of media with a sequel or some sort of cross-media tie-in or merchandising would belong in the category, and that sort of category is too all-encompassing to be useful. -Sean Curtin 02:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Keep. Conscious 11:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

"Poaceae" is a more precise name because the category is only for the "true" grasses (i.e., grasses in the family Poaceae). There are many plants called "grasses" that are not "true" grasses, it would be better to rename the category to avoid accidentally putting the "false grasses" into Category:Grasses where they do not belong.

==Executions by method and subcategories==

: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 looks like a keep. Syrthiss 01:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Most of these have been created in the last few days, perhaps all of them. Some people are now in three categories related to their execution, plus a year of death category. That is four categories for death, and perhaps there are even more in a few cases. This is ridiculous. Category clutter is at its worst in biographical articles. Just because one can create a category, that doesn't mean one should. There is no encyclopedic connection between someone executed by decapitation in country X in the 15th century and someone executed by decapitation in country Y in the 19th century. It is what they did to get executed that matters, not the random conincidences of the legal codes in those two times and places. The executions by nationality and by type of crime categories are enough (if not too much).

  • Delete all Sumahoy 20:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • STRONG KEEP ALL!!

:I don’t know what particular jihad :User:Sumahoy is on – and I don’t particularly care. The reasoning given for deleting these Categories is bullshit. They may not be relevant to his/her particular areas of interest, but they are to persons interested in having and keeping such research data. It is clear, however, that this User has a problem with Categories as a whole. I will spare all readers a lengthy justification for these Categories existence; just to say they were each created for a relevant purpose. Besides, with those who have already made up their minds: It is difficult – if not impossible – to teach someone something they think they already know.

:Michael David 22:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

::First, please read Wikipedia:Civility. I care a lot about categories, which is why I come here often, but I do not believe that more is always better. Sumahoy 22:30, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Civility without assertiveness is timidity. You seem to be more obsessed with the quantity of Categories rather than the quality. Michael David 22:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Please stop making unfounded allegations about my motives and read Wikipedia:Civility again. I have given detailed reasons for my nomination and deserve to be treated decently, as do any other Wikipedians you may disagree with. Sumahoy 00:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::*You are wanting, because of some obsession with the number of Categories, to wipe out four months of work - and all you can ask me to do is to be CIVIL ABOUT IT. What planet are you on? Michael David 03:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::: It's possible to be upset and to think that somebody is wrong, and still be civil. Spending a long time on a project doesn't mean that it is any more worthy. Since I generally assume good faith, I assume almost every category was thought a good idea by the person who made it, when they made it. That doesn't make it any more worthy, either. Perhaps you could provide a short justification for the cats, and see what people disagree with? For what it's worth, I think the categories should be kept - but you're doing yourself no favours. SeventyThree(Talk) 04:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

  • I am going to let a cooler head prevail here. User:SeventyThree reached me.

Before I explain why I believe the Categories in question should be kept. Let’s look at the reasons given by User:Sumahoy for deleting them:

“Most of these have been created in the last few days, perhaps all of them.” This is simply not true. Take a better look at their creation dates.

“Some people are now in three categories related to their execution”. Why is this an issue? If the Categories are relevant to the Article – they need to be there.

“This is ridiculous.” You already know what I think is ridiculous. “Category clutter”!! Huh!?!.

“There is no encyclopedic connection between someone executed by decapitation in country X in the 15th century and someone executed by decapitation in country Y in the 19th century.” This is only one of many reasons Articles should be connected.

“It is what they did to get executed that matters…” Again, that is only one of many reasons Articles should be connected.

“The executions by nationality and by type of crime categories are enough…” Enough for whom? “…if not too much”. This, alone, speaks volumes to this Users POV concerning the Categories issue.

My reasons for creating some of the Categories in question, and for wanting to keep all of them are relatively simple. To obtain a complete and accurate picture of capital punishment throughout history it is crucial to include how the methods of executions have evolved; the method speaks a great deal about the culture of the country at the time it utilizes it. This picture comes into even clearer focus when it includes the histories of the persons executed. These links are crucial to accurate and credible research. To delete them would be a great disservice to persons needing this data. There also needs to be a research tool connection between the execution and a profile of the person executed.

I have been trying to encourage my colleagues and their staffs to utilize and contribute to Wikipedia. For this to happen it needs to be not only accurate and reliable, but also convenient for their research.

I also find it difficult to hold an informed debate with someone I know nothing about, and where their User Page reveals nothing of substance about them.

Am I annoyed? Yes! However, if some are going to vote whether to keep or delete the Categories based on their feelings that I wasn’t civil, then I don’t understand what this process is all about in the first place.

  • Delete all, overcategorization. If we were to retain these categories, they would need to be renamed to "People executed by ...", in any case. Kirill Lokshin 23:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all Overcategorisation. ReeseM 00:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep all - the pages I looked at didn't have too many categories. Also, for many of these people a large part of their notability comes from their execution, so it's not excessive to give them several categories for it. SeventyThree(Talk) 04:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC) Changed my opinion (see below). SeventyThree(Talk) 22:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

: ... I recognise Sumahoy's point, but, say we have an article on an English revolutionary executed in France for treason by being beheaded – which of the linked categorisations are more important/useful/to be overridden; and why?  Regards, David Kernow 12:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC), amended 00:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

::Interesting point, but shouldn't it be :Category:People executed by decapitation, then? I would have thought that :Category:Executions by decapitation would contain general articles about executing people by decapitation, not about the people themselves. Kirill Lokshin 15:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

::: I think I began that way, but switched to "Executions by..." so that these subcategories echoed their parent :Category:Executions by method. Revisiting the issue again now, perhaps the most effective way to name them is by using a "People executed by..." format, as (a) they are meant to carry articles that are about people; and (b) a "People..." category name is more likely (I hope) to dissuade folk from adding anything but articles on people to a category. I guess, though, there might be opposition from those folk supporting the compression of category names. Thanks for prompting me to think again. Regards, David Kernow 15:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep all. That some people's deaths are more notable than their lives is an unfortunate truth. Proper categorization reflects the positive and the negative.--Mike Selinker 16:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The proposal does not remove notice of anyone's death from the category system, it just exercises a little moderation. Bhoeble 21:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep all per SeventyThree. I have to agree with User:Kirill Lokshin, though, as far as it regards the names of the categories. Perhaps the names of the categories should be "Executed by method" which is both short and accurate. NoIdeaNick
  • Delete all This is the way the categorisation system could die; people with a special interest or point of view overwhelming articles with several categories from a particular angle and it mounts and mounts until it categorisation becomes useless. Categories are less than two years old, but many people already have far too many. Articles should not be connected by "many" methods but by a carefully chosen selection. Wikipedia's great weakness is that it doesn't know what to leave out - a key editorial skill - whether that is trivial categories or those dreadful lists of largely meaningless pop culture references to X or Y. Bhoeble 21:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

:* How would you categorise the "English revolutionary executed in France for treason by decapitation" example above?  Thanks, David Kernow 01:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep all certainly more useful than the various categories related to minor characters in some barely notable fictional thigamajig. Remember, these people were executed not some internet meme or tv soap opera that is categorized to (pardon the pun) death. Carlossuarez46 00:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep all, as per Carlossuarez46. --BrownHairedGirl 12:07, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to {{cat|People executed by Foo}} etc. If that doesn't pass, then keep as is. SeventyThree(Talk) 22:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete because, the fact that they were executed is important, and why they were executed is impotant, but how they were executed is a side-note. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NHammen (talk • contribs) - oops, I still forget to do that sometimes... NHammen 03:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Speedy Delete as author request/empty cat. — xaosflux Talk 01:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I think this category should be deleted. I've created two new categories, :Category:Right-wing parties in France and :Category:Left-wing parties in France. Having a "liberal parties in France" is just too complicated, because liberalism in France means supporting economic liberalism and that is considered right-wing, while what is called in the US "liberal" is usually considered left-wing in France. Thus, French people put right-wing parties in this category while US people remove them, it's going back and forth without any logic. I think we should rather use the French distinction between left-wing and right-wing (gauche et droite), that's how it works in France. Tazmaniacs 00:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
