:Delete It's a bad idea to have a specific category for an individual company and its clients. Celebrities might interact with hundreds of companies, and if those companies had individual categories you'd have hundreds of categories in those celebrities' articles. Delete the category, and if desired include a bullet list of important clients in the main article. Dugwiki 17:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Fictional Misses, Mrs., and Ms.}}

As with the noms below, delete as inane and pointless trivia. The only useful function these categories serve is to prove that similarities in the names of fictional characters does not establish any other meaningful relationship. Compare Mrs. Robinson, Miss Piggy, Ms. Pac Man, and...Mrs. Butterworth. Postdlf 19:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Fictional Aces}}

Delete, extreme and arbitrary trivia for all fictional characters named or called "Ace." Completely and egregiously pointless, as illustrated by its grouping of Ace the Bathound and Ace Ventura. Next will be :Category:Fictional Andys, so the significant connection between Raggedy Andy and Andy Sipowicz can finally be brought to light. Postdlf 18:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:Delete, or at least Rename to :Category:Women state governors of the United States. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 18:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Rename per nom (although I think the convention is "Women" as opposed to "Woman"). Female heads of government are a legitimate sex-based categorization. Otto4711 20:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• You're right, I'll fix my nomination as suggested. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 20:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Female heads of subnational governments are not remarkable. Piccadilly 00:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Because their numbers are so remarkably high, especially as a percentage of the total number. Please. Female governors of US states amount for less than 1% of the total. When the number of female governors begins approaching the number of male governors in the US, then maybe female governors won't be notable. For now, of course they are. Otto4711 03:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• Upmerge to :Category:State governors of the United States. Vegaswikian 05:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Upmerge to :Category:State governors of the United States. It is no longer possible to make a convincing case that women are at a major disadvantage in U.S. politics when two of the main political offices are held by women and a woman is probably favourite to be the next Presidency. Otto4711's argument implies waiting at least another 200 years before deleting this category, which is surely a little over the top. Hanbrook 07:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

:*Comment Please don't misrepresent me or my argument, thanks. I said nothing about whether or not women are or are not disadvantaged in the current US political system. Whether they are or are not is irrelevant to this cat or to any other categorization by sex. What I said was that the number of women governors is so small as compared to the number of male governors that women governors remain notable. Otto4711 13:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Having three categories to hold the grand total of one article seems a little over the top Tim! 18:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep It's a new but real occupation so why should it not have a category? It is the defining category for a person who works as a life coach, and he or she cannot be properly categorised without it. There are probably other articles floating around. Hanbrook 07:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the latter two as overcat. Keep the first one iff it can be populated. (Radiant) 12:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Please see a previous related discussion Casinos in England that failed. If the British and English subcats are deleted than that old nomination probably needs to be considered again. Vegaswikian 18:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep "Life Coaches", Delete "British life coaches" and "English life coaches" - Categorizing people as "life coaches" makes sense, since it is a real profession. Categorizing people by nationality or location, however, leads to category clutter. People who want a list of life coaches do not want that list subdivided by nationality. George J. Bendo 20:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Categorising people by nationality reduces category clutter. For example :category:English life coaches stands in place of both :Category:Life coaches and :Category:English people and :category:Life coaches. Without cross-categorisation by nationality and occupation :Category:American people would be a useless swamp of circa 100,000 articles. Olborne 21:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the last two. I would have no objection to the last two categories if there was a need to reduce the size of :Category:Life coaches and after it was recreated, :Category:British life coaches. But at this point in time they do not appear to be needed. Vegaswikian 22:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the first, delete the last two. We don't need three categories just for one person, whose Englishness is already directly testified to by two other categories. Alai 16:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all There is no minimum category size and accurate categorization is just as desirable at the bottom of the article about a life coach as at the bottom of an article about someone who belongs to a profession that has thousands of articles. Piccadilly 05:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge all to :Category:Life coaches (per Life coaching). No need for the additional sub-categories to disambiguate by nationality. - jc37 10:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC) [modified to make target plural. - jc37 12:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)]

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} rename to "Name poems". the wub "?!" 16:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

:Here we have several competing standards, all of which are reasonable. Poems by Writer, Poetry of Writer, Poems of Writer, Writer poems, and Poetry by Writer. I don't see how this is any different than :Category:Operas by composer ... I think any of the above are acceptable, but would like to standardize on one of them. Once we've made a decision, speedy rename should become valid for issues like these. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 17:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• If we go with "Poetry of," that would make the category open to articles on individual poems as well as on poetry collections, for what that's worth. Postdlf 19:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Absolutely "Name poems," to parallel "Name songs," "Name paintings," and everything else.--Mike Selinker 05:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Concur with Mike. (Radiant) 12:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename per MS. There's a difference between the specific work, and a collection of the author's works. (However, to be honest, for the format standard, I think "work by name" fits the Wikipedia standard better.) - jc37 10:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

:The great majority of these are the form Writer novels, for example :Category:Kurt Vonnegut novels, and a smaller percentage are of the form Novels by Writer, for example :Category:Novels by Thomas Pynchon. I think both of these are perfectly good, but we should pick a standard and live with it. Consistency is more work for us, the editors, but it's good for the users. Note, I'm not nominating anything, I'm just suggesting we discuss what the format ought to be. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 16:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• I think Name novels has the advantage of compactness, so would probably be my favoured form. Tim! 17:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Absolutely "Name novels," to parallel "Name songs," "Name paintings," and everything else.--Mike Selinker 05:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Again "Name novels" is the way to go for all the reasons above and that is is self sorting in the parent category by the Authors name. The only issue then would be if the first name is used and would we then sort on "parent cat|surname, firstname novels". :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

:Category:Churches to :Category:Churches (buildings)

• Rename, this category and its subcats are a semantic mess mixing Church(e.g. look at the tree for :Category:Churches by denomination!) and Church (building) (e.g. :Category:Churches by country, :Category:Cathedrals). Most subcats should be renamed too.
  A possible compromise is :category:Protestant Churches for denomination and :Category:Protestant churches (existing duplicates) for buildings Circeus 16:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• See also :category:Roman Catholic churches vs. :category:Christian denominations for an existing example. Circeus 17:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename, after some thought I support renaming. If this does get carried out then we should rename the subcats too. --MarkS (talk) 17:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Why not :Category:Churches (buildings)? Is there a reason the disambiguator should be singular while the category name is plural? Postdlf 19:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Didn't come to my mind, mostly because I hadn't seen a plural cat with disambiguation mark yet. Circeus 20:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I'm still trying to understand the current layout. My current thinking is to not rename :Category:Churches and move the demonination information to :Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements under :Category:Religion. Vegaswikian 21:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep The proposed remedy, while tempting, is inadequate. I agree that articles about denominational groupings (e.g. Christ's Commission Fellowship) should be moved out and perhaps most of the articles in the root should be moved into :Category:Types of churches, but the key problem as I see it is that most of the articles are not about buildings, but about congregations. For every Christ Church, Windhoek which is about a single physical structure, you'll find a St Mary's Church Wimbledon, which covers a parish that has had several successive buildings in the same location, or Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, which has moved, or a Hillsong Church, which occupies a whole campus of buildings. To simply recast them as buildings would be equivalent to categorizing United Nations under :Category:Skyscrapers in New York City. Local church is ambiguous (see Local churches) but parish is not denominationally netural; would "Local Christian congregations" do? For the time being then, I think a general cleanup, with explicit category descriptions, is preferable to a rename, especially because whatever term is adopted should be used throughout :Category:Churches by country and it will be easier to have them all done at once. -choster 22:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename, not perfect but still an improvement. (Radiant) 12:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Split Create a sub-category at the proposed current title :Category:Churches (buildings). Until just this week, the main article for the category was Church, not Church (building). The typical reader will think of church first as an organization (denomination or local congregation), second as a building, and possibly third as an event (fortunately, we don't need articles for this sense of the word). We should restore the old main article as part of this split. Most of what is currently in the category is organizations, so most of the current contents should not go to the proposed new title, it should instead go to :Category:Churches (organizations). Not a building (or group of buildings). The only items in the current category that I'm sure should move to :Category:Churches (buildings) are :Category:Church architecture, :Category:Stave churches, Church (building), List of tallest churches in the world, List of churches and :Category:Images of Churches. The following probably should be in both new categories, or could be kept here if this remains the parent of the new category: :Category:Cathedrals, :Category:Church stubs. GRBerry 15:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• How would :Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements and :Category:Churches (organizations) interact? Vegaswikian 18:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• "Church" as an organization has two sub-senses; denominations and local congregations. Denominations belong in :Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements, probably by being in its subcategory :Category:Christianity, or even mostly in :Category:Christian denominations which is a sub-category of that. Local congregations probably belong in a category for churches of their denomination/movement category (which would be in both the denominational sub-category of :Category:Christian denominations and in :Category:Churches by denomination), unless the local congregation is or is on the cusp of becoming the mother church for a denomination, in which case it could sit a level higher.
• :Category:Cathedrals Are Cathedrals primarily viewed as structures or as the seat of a bishop? If both, they need to be in two places, if only one, where that one ought to be listed. Our article on cathedrals is written from a canon law bias, so it makes it looks like being the seat of a bishop is the primary meaning, and any architecture is an incidental. If this is right, then it should not go to the buildings sub-cat.
• On this split structure, :Category:Church stubs should clearly stay at :Category:Churches. It's only sub-category is denominational, which is confirming evidence.
• The trouble with my original thought of splitting was what to do with :Category:Churches by city, :Category:Churches by country, :Category:Churches by denomination (all three of the preceding with their numerous subcategories), :Category:Megachurches, and :Category:Churches in the Caribbean. These are neither building/structure oriented nor denominationally oriented. So they should not go to :Category:Churches (buildings), instead they should stay in :Category:Churches. We should make the new :Category:Churches (buildings) a subcategory of :Category:Churches, and move almost everything else into one of these categories.
• Finally, we probably should make :Category:Churches by city defunct and move all its city specific sub-cats into the appropriate sub-category of :Category:Churches by country. GRBerry 01:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• :Category:Churches by country states 'This category contains articles about church buildings.' so it should stay in the building category. Deleting :Category:Churches by city may not fly since it is common to have :Category:Foo by city. At the local level, one could agrue that an article is always about the building and the demonination. I'm not sure what a detailed study of the articles would or would not prove. In any case I think it is safe to say that whatever is done needs to be well thought out before any major move of articles. I wonder if the simple soultion to is simply leave the current category alone and dual list the sub categories that are about both the building and denominations?

• Oppose It makes more sense to rename categories for religious denominations as appropriate as a more flexible range of terms is available. Piccadilly 05:39, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. I like the reasoning used by Piccadilly. Let's move the existing sub cats into the correct parents and then if we need to rename this one, bring it up again. But I suspect that moving the sub cats will fix most of the problems. Vegaswikian 00:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. This needs fixing, but I don't think renaming it (atleast as proposed) is the way to go. Piccadilly's solution seems better. Mairi 19:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. Surely most readers will think of a church as the building, primarilly? If the article also describes the congregation that meets there, then that is an incidental. Most of the articles, for :Category:Churches in England at least, describe the buildings as their main focus. Congregations that are not based around a specific building, and/or exist in more than one English county, have been moved to :Category:Churches in the United Kingdom (at least for now!). I make these points on the back of a concerted attempt to sort out the mess of categorisation for all the articles describing English churches (including chapels and cathedrals, etc). They are now arranged by the county in which they are located. Each 'Churches in (county)' cat is also a subcat of the 'Buildings and Structures' category for the county, in the same way that 'bridges', 'railway stations', 'historic houses', etc, are. (It's a 'work in progress'!!). I suggest that any articles describing 'churches' that are not building-focussed should be placed in cats with more-specific names. (Incidentally, most English cathedrals ARE also noted for their architecture, and all appear in their own right in the appropriate county's 'Buildings and Structures' cat.) -- EdJogg 13:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Spouses of Chinese national leaders}}

The category will be impossible to define -- and already, the subcategories that are added are questionable, as some empresses' husbands were arguably not "national leaders." :Category:Leaders of China was deleted back on September 13 for the same reasons (see Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_September_5). Having "national leaders" does make it slightly less ambiguous, but it's still ambiguous. (Not only that, but "spouses" may actually be ambiguous as well; certainly, I don't think :Category:Chinese imperial consorts belongs because those were not wives.)

:Category:M94 group to :Category:M94 Group

:Category:Canes Venatici Cloud to :Category:M94 Group

• Merge/Rename - Originally, this was created to include galaxy groups that lied within a region designated the "Canes Venatici Cloud" by Brent Tully in a 1982 paper. However, the term "Canes Venatici Cloud" has not been used in that sense since the 1980's. Currently, the term is used to refer to the M94 Group (NGC 4736 Group), as a search for "Canes Venatici Cloud" in the [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html ADS Abstract Service] or the [http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/Simbad Simbad Astronomical Database] will reveal. Both :Category:M94 group and :Category:Canes Venatici Cloud should be merged together under the name :Category:M94 Group. The first letter of the word "group" should be capitalized because the object is a proper noun (a specific place).

:(Note: The [http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/ NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database] (NED) lists the "Canes Venatici Cloud" as an alternate name for the NGC 4631 Group. Based on the papers returned from the ADS Abstract Service, this designation is probably incorrect. Part of the problem is difficulty in identifying group membership near NGC 4631, as indicated in the NGC 4631 Group article. NED relies on the LGG catalog for group identification, which lists Messier 94 and NGC 4631 as part of the same group. Most other galaxy group catalogs list these two galaxies as belonging to separate groups, so the results from NED are probably inaccurate.)

• The problem I have here is that some of the people in these categories are notable only for being in Playboy. Totally at random I clicked on :Category: Playboy Coeds of the Week and then Jessica Betancourt. Ms. Betancourt we are told "is an American model. She was Playboy's Coed of the Week for the 2nd week of September 2005. She is also featured in Playboy's Hot Shots 2006, Playboy's Lingerie April/May 2006, and Playboy's Hot 100 of 2006." That's it. If being a Playboy model (but not a "Playmate") isn't sufficiently notable, the articles should be nominated too. If it is sufficient, I think the category should stay because it's clearly career defining in Ms. Betancourt's case (and remember, I picked her at random). --kingboyk 11:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:* If the person is known only for being in Playboy (and not a "Playmate") then the article should be deleted for failing WP:BIO.

::*I'd support that. I'd say the Playmates (the centerfolds—Miss [month], [year]) are per se notable, though we could probably do some merging on the stubs into list articles; the other models? Nowhere near as prominent or well remembered. It's common (and a common sitcom joke) for someone to recognize "Miss June, 1986" years later, and they're always referred to as "former Playboy Playmates." The role has a lot of pop culture significance. It doesn't quite work with "Coed of the Week for the Second Week in September." Those should be deleted if that's all they've accomplished.

(On the other hand, some of those subcategories seem really trivial.)--Mike Selinker 05:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Playboy Playmates are an "elite sorority," and that category is not nominated. Look at the actual root-level contents of the "Playboy models" category and you'll see that this is vastly more inclusive, and not categorically career-defining—it does not distinguish between those who are only known for modelling for the magazine, and those who posed for a pictorial but whose notability is tied to their career in other areas. Postdlf 18:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Note that categories and notability are somewhat independent. For example, there are lots of notable actors who only fall under the generic categories for film actors or television actors, with no specific categories for exactly what makes them notable. Likewise, Playboy models can easily all be categorized under the generic model categories without requiring a specific category for Playboy or any other magazine they may or may not have modelled for. So specific article deletion due to notability is basically a completely seperate topic from categorization of articles. Dugwiki 18:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep :Category:Playboy Playmates] and delete the others. Playboy models who were not playmates really don't merit articles unless they are notable for other reasons, eg acting work. Olborne 21:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to :Category:Playboy Playmates of the Month and sift. A "Playmate" is not as exclusive as the PMOM, IIRC. PMOM and a subcategory :Category:Playboy Playmates of the Year should be kept. (Although there is an argument for :Category:Playboy Celebrity Playmates... they've published a book on them too). 132.205.93.19 02:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment IIRC, a Playmate is a Playboy model that appears in the magazine (not the specials, not other publications)... this includes the PMOM, Celebrity Centerfolds, and others. 132.205.93.19 02:32, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• No, only the monthly centerfolds are "Playmates." "Celebrity Centerfold" is a product brand name for the celebrity videos. Naomi Campbell did not become a "Playboy Playmate" by posing for the magazine; no one refers to her as a "former Playboy Playmate," and she shouldn't be categorized as a "Playboy model" because of one magazine shoot out of thousands in her career. That's the issue here. Postdlf 02:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Playboy calls them PMOM and PMOY, since all PMOY are PMOM... why not use it? 132.205.93.31
• That also gets us to interesting cases such as Marilyn Monroe, and Pamela Anderson, both noteworthy outside of Playboy (though Pammy got PB to launch her career)... and cases where celebrities are also defined by appearing in Playboy ... (say Joan Collins, at a ripe old age ; or some Romanian gymnasts) 132.205.93.31 04:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Ok, so you've made an argument for renaming :Category:Playboy Playmates to :Category:Playboy Playmates of the Month. But I think you're confused about what category we are actually considering. :Category:Playboy models contains the Playmates category (which is already "sifted" to include only the PMOM) as a subcategory. The "models" category just includes everyone else who ever posed, without regard to whether they have been "defined" by it. Trivia for which we already have lists. Postdlf 15:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Simply having appeared in a magazine with thousands of models is not a defining moment, and does not justify a category. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

:Category:Underground railroad locations to :Category:Underground Railroad locations

• I think this should be renamed per capitalisation at Underground Railroad. user:Qviri 03:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename'. Would make it clearer that it is not a typical railroad. Vegaswikian 06:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename per nom. --- RockMFR 06:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It isn't appropriate to categorise places by things that happened in them in this way as it is not a defining characteristic. Piccadilly 08:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename, but only a weak keep, per Piccadilly's comment (BTW, this should not be confused with the Piccadilly that is an Underground railway station ;) Grutness...wha? 02:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Some of these places are quite large so this isn't close to being a defining characteristic of them. Olborne 21:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to :Category:Underground Railroad sites or perhaps :Category:Underground Railroad historic sites and thus exclude the cities etc. I would usggest "landmarks" but I fear that would be misused as well. --Dhartung | Talk 12:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Churches named for St. Dunstan}}

• Delete Irrelevant, will never be properly populated. And if we keep this, do we have to create categories for all churches by saints? Circeus 03:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete A list in the Saint's article (which should as a matter of course be linked to from the article about each church) is the way to go. Piccadilly 08:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I agree that a list in the saint's article is more appropriate. Except for the name, the churches named after St. Dunstan probably share little in common with each other. (The list of articles in the category is as inane as I expected it to be. Churches named after St. Dunstan: St. Dunstan's, St. Dunstan's, St. Dunstan's, the Church of St. Dunstan, St. Dunstan's...)

:Category:Social networking to :Category:Online social networking (or :Category:Online social networks)

• Rename. This category is currently used for articles related to online social networking. :Category:Social networks is the "parent" category which deals with social networks in general. --- RockMFR 02:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to :Category:Online social networking as that option is more inclusive or any articles there may be now or in the future that are in this subject area but are not about a specific network. Piccadilly 08:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
