  • Comment Ok, now that I have the laughter out of my system.. I think "of" is likely better, with "of" meaning "belonging to" in this case (hence my genitive case comment above : )
  • of Old Sol's system.
  • of the solar system
  • Actually, I prefer "within" in :Category:Hypothetical natural satellites within the Solar system for the rationale given above; it's possible (probable?) that there are bodies orbiting the Solar system. Yours, David (talk) 02:24, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I also don't think that we should capitalise "solar" in this case. Changed my mind after looking at Solar system (see first note). Sounds like proper noun usage to me. Preferring: "...of the Solar System". - jc37 21:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Adding prepositions and things is confusing. Everything is fine the way it is. If it were changed one would have to change the names of tons of other categorys like Solar system planets, etc. Mrwuggs 19:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Merge into :Category:Measurement. "Metrology" is the science of measurement. We don't have a distinction between e.g. "physics" and "the science of physics".

{{lc|Incorporations by year}}

  • Delete, This category hierarchy was created a little over a year ago and seems not to have come into use but for a few exceptions. I find it hard to distinguish from the hierarchy :Category:Establishments by year, also no documentation exists to assist editors in making use of the hierarchy. meco 15:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to :Category:Establishments by year...?  David Kernow (talk) 16:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, overspecific. Different companies and organizations have different criteria for identifying their foundation dates, and "establishments" is sufficiently meaningful while retaining flexibility (e.g. the United States chooses 1776 as its establishment year but 1763, 1775, 1777, 1781, 1783, 1787, 1789, 1791 etc. could be argued). Incorporation moreover, whether of an organization or even a municipality, is a legal action/distinction which often has more to do with tax strategy or political developments than any fundamental change in their nature (is there merit in grouping cities based on when they assumed responsibility for refuse disposal from the county?). It is for similar reasons we list companies by where they are "based" rather than where they are "incorporated." -choster 18:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect, having both incorporation years and establishment years seems like overkill to me. Recury 20:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Delete

This Nomination has nothing to do with its length, but rather because it could technically include every word in the english language. (For example, let's hear it for idioms : ) - jc37 06:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - as nominator. - jc37 06:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Such changes as happened with "mayhem" can cause serious misunderstandings with foreigners trying to read English text. I do not see how it could technically include every word in the English language. Anthony Appleyard 06:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Do linguists have a proper term for this sort of thing? Maybe a rename would be better. --Metropolitan90 07:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The linguistic term would be folk etymology, but in the specific case of "mayhem" I believe the term [http://www.langmaker.com/ml0104.htm generalization] is more accurate. I'm not sure that the phenomenon specifically described by the category name is strictly useful, as this is a property of all semantic change. --Dhartung | Talk 11:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I vote delete, but if it's kept, it should definitely include the word nimrod.--Mike Selinker 11:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. This isn't wiktionary; we probably shouldn't even have articles for half of these words. Categories like this only encourage creation of dicdef articles. Recury 13:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete otherwise rename (to...?) as I'd say current name is not readily understandable. (Rhetorical: Would any name for this category be readily understandable...?!)  Regards, David Kernow (talk) 16:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, etymological cats belong at Wiktionary. -- nae'blis 20:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as above, not well defined and, even if kept, would seemingly belong in Wiktionary. Also, even if kept, the category name is too long and confusing. Dugwiki 20:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per prior comments. Twittenham 22:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
