• Delete. Too many issues with this categroy. The list varies by country and by the strength of the drug. Could be split up by multiple categories, but is that effort needed? Vegaswikian 19:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Rename, Use English description. Intangible 15:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose - That is the actual name of the academie. See: :Category:Members of the Institut de France for other examples, as well as Institut de France. - jc37 00:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• If kept or no consensus, rename Academy of Political and Moral Sciences accordingly. David Kernow (talk) 09:15, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose per jc37 and because we have :Category:Members of the Académie française. David Kernow is right that the rename of the article should be reverted (although I don't see how it actually was renamed, something strange there) to Académie des sciences morales et politiques.

;:Category:Victoria cricketers to :Category:Victorian cricketers

;:Category:Tasmania cricketers to :Category:Tasmanian cricketers

• Rename to standard naming style for Australian states. See parent :Category:Players in Australian domestic cricket by team. States ending in "a" need an "n" added to form an adjective. -- I@n 13:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose These are team categories rather than person-by-origin categories. It is essential that adjective forms are not used as they would imply that the players are all natives of the state, which is not the case. Calsicol 18:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose per Calsicol Choalbaton 11:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. Grutness...wha? 23:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} rename/merge as nominated (for consistency); personal opinion, "foo to English translators" makes no sense; presumably, if someone can translate foo to English, they can also translate English to foo, so "foo-bar translators" makes sense; As for the supercat, that should be left as is to differentiate between "Translators to English" and "Translators to (insert language here)" --Kbdank71 14:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

:Category:Icelandic to English translators to :Category:Icelandic-English translators

• Rename, In line with others at :Category:Translators to English. 86.134.15.60 10:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - I think they all should have the "to" convention, categorisation is not a "tree", and clarity is preferrable. - jc37 00:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

:* "Icelandic-English" suggests to me someone either Icelandic or more acquainted with Icelandic who's willing to translate either way, whereas "Icelandic to English" suggests they only feel able to translate in one direction... or is that the point...?  Unsure, David Kernow (talk) 09:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

::*Nod, the name of the "umbrella" cat is :Category:Translators to English. So the structure of each one is apparently: Translation language to english. And since thse cats could be used within other cats, it makes sense to clarify by name (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (precision)). - jc37 15:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and change the others per Jc37's remarks. Wryspy 04:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} rename/merge :Category:Sex moves to :Category:Sexual acts --Kbdank71 13:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• :Category:Sex moves into :Category:Sexual practices
• :Category:Sexual acts into :Category:Sexual practices

The categories "Sex moves" and "Sexual acts" are currently two existing ambiguous categories, with different parent categories to make matters even more confusing. I propose a merge into :Category:Sexual practices, making the common parent category :Category:Human sexuality. - GilliamJF 07:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Recury 14:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge :Category:Sex moves into :Category:Sexual acts. :Category:Sexual acts is a specific enough and catchall term for me. -- I@n 14:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge both in :Category:Sexual practices per nom. Choalbaton 11:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to sexual acts per I@n. I believe sexual practices is too vague as it could include incest, polygamy, safe sex and other more general sex-related things often termed "practices". Alternately, :Category:Sexual activities, :Category:Physical sexual acts, :Category:Sexual techniques. Problematically, we also have :Category:Sex positions (subcat of acts). --Dhartung | Talk 12:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge :category:Sex moves to :category:Sexual acts per Choalbaton et al. And Keep as a sub-cat of :category:Sexual practices. - jc37 00:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge :category:Sex moves to :category:Sexual acts per Choalbaton and make a sub-cat of :category:Sexual practices per jc37. — Reinyday, 01:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• could I go ahead and suggest that, whatever we they're called and regardless of which ones are sub-sections of others, that wikipedia have seperate categories for body-part combinations to orgasm(s) (ie oral sex, sexual intercourse, fisting ect.) and the odd little "moves" that comprise many articles here in wikipedia (ie snowballing, donkey punching, and ass-to-mouth?)
• Merge per nom. Wryspy 04:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

:* Did you mean "per nom", or per the modification of the nom? (I admit, it's starting to become confusing.) - jc37 15:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Mark Foley scandal}}

• Delete, lists people only peripherally related to the scandal. It can't yet be said whether there will be even two major figures involved (WP:NOT a crystal ball). If this had been created as something like List of inviduals involved with the Mark Foley scandal, it would simply be redirected to 2006 Mark Foley scandal, since it overlaps so much with that article. Interiot 05:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, I don't see why just mentioning who is involved in the article isn't sufficient. Recury 14:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Category:Jack Abramoff scandals grazon 16:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. There is no need to explode the article into a category. It is almost inevitable that such categories will include people for whom the connection is not a defining characteristic so they are to be avoided. Calsicol 18:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Category has already been abused. Crockspot 19:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I dislike this type of category quite a bit. To a casual reader, it tends to implicate those tagged without any context given. If the event in question is notable for that figure, then it should be mentioned in the text, with a link there. IMO categories should be reserved for similar articles, e.g. football players or Congressmen. It should not be used for everything mentioned in an article, because we have direct wikilinks for that.Derex 04:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as far too broad. Note we do not have a Lewinsky category. (I'm an editor on the article, and I wouldn't use this.) --Dhartung | Talk 12:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Another example of where a list would be better. (Citations/references, for example). - jc37 00:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this per above. Wryspy 04:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I agree with Derex that this is a dangerous path to go down. Lincolnite 10:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all above. This sort of category does nothing but set Wikipedia up for potential libel claims. WP:BLP policy is quite clear: When something gets created that even comes close to making unverifiable negative assertions about living people, it's to be deleted. I'm not even sure we should wait for this CfD to close. Speedy kill it dead now. --Aaron 22:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. -- Dcflyer 06:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Works}}

• I first noticed this as a subcategory of :Category:Categories (what would the proper parent be, :Category:Arts, perhaps?). It appears this was created as a response to a comment at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 August 20#Category:Fictional works. This apparently refers to anything somebody makes, including art, documents, or music. I'm not sure what the purpose of :Category:Works by year is, either. TimBentley (talk) 03:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Rename: I think it should be renamed to :Category:Creative works, but it certainly houses a relevant collection of categories. In addition :Category:Works by year houses 40 subcategories. — Reinyday, 03:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to Creative works per Reinyday Tim! 17:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to :category:Creative works per above comments. - jc37 00:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• I'm not sure that most members of the subcategories :Category:Documents and :Category:Fictional works fit the description "Creative works", but I'm also not sure what alternative approach/es to suggest... Regards, David Kernow (talk) 09:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
