:Category:Writers of books about films into :Category:Film critics

  • Merge Looking at the previous debate it is very clear that this one was closed incorrectly, and that the result declared by User:Kbdank71 did not represent consensus or anything close to it. In fact it had the support of only one or two people out of nine. I cannot see how the decision taken can possibly be justified. Making it a subcategory of :Category:Film critics just makes things worse. Golfcam 19:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to {{cl|Film writers}} or {{cl|Film studies writers}} or some such. Not all those who write about film are critics; some are historians, some are how-to, some are making-of, etc. I admit the name is clunky, and that someone jumped the gun on its creation, but we do need the category, whatever the name. (It should go under {{cl|Non-fiction writers}} alongside {{cl|Film critics}}, not as a sub-cat.)
  • Merge per nom. One article was about someone who only wrote celebrity biographies, and that only leaves one other person. Having more than one category for people who write about cinema seems ill-advised as it can only lead to confusion and inconsistency and I don't see why :category:Film critics can't be the one category. Osomec 09:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. One category is sufficient, in line with :category:Literary critics. Choalbaton 13:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to Cat:Film writers per anon. contributer above. See Jared Brown as an example of a film writer who is not a critic. --Blainster 16:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. All film writers are critics - a "critic" is not merely a subspecies of journalist. Merchbow 22:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

{{lc|Anti-Atheism}}

  • The criteria for inclusion in this category are vague at best. Does merely advocating that Christianity or some other religion is true make a person "Anti-Atheism"? That criterion is far too weak to support a meaningful category. NatusRoma | Talk 14:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. We don't have an article for the term, and Google returns few hits for it (with or without the hyphen). This is clearly supposed to be a cat from people, but its criteria is vague, and any attempt to formalize it would probably result in a huge unwieldy category. ×Meegs 18:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - 1. the people and organizations in this category have gone on public record with their opposition to atheism. if you want I can provide quotes from them all - though that seems superfluous.2.[http://www.asanet.org/page.ww?section=Press&name=Atheists+Are+Distrusted]. Naturally people would consider :category:Anti-Semitism or :category:Anti-Catholicism bigotry, but appearantly, people can bash atheists and get away with it, the same way they do gypsies or the amish. it seems atheism is a minority that's okay to discriminate against. --Philo 19:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - sources: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Anti-Atheism justifications] --Philo 13:58, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I suggest that you write one or more articles about the topic before worrying about categorization. The two categories that you bring-up, :Category:Anti-Catholicism and :Category:Anti-Semitism, should not contain individual people either. The latter does have subcategory :Category:Anti-Semitic people, but it is extremely controversial. ×Meegs 20:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This is ridiculous. Religious people are opposed to atheism, but that doesn't mean there should be a category, and the selection reflects fads, current affairs and POV rather than any serious and consistent selection criteria. It is not a respectable category that deserves a place in an encyclopedia, but a reflection of Wikipedia's sometimes shambolic lack of editorial control. Golfcam 19:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

: Comment - christians, for example, don't believe in islam but they are tolerant towards muslims. however, certain people could be anti-islam. religious people can be tolerant of atheists, or they can be anti-atheism. --Philo 14:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The inclusion of Dubya exposes the lack of seriousness behind this category. Twittenham 21:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - For me it's the double negative I find troubling. Anti- Anti- theist. - Jc37 03:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This doesn't represent a clear and distinct movement. Choalbaton 13:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, neologism. Pavel Vozenilek 17:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, There are people noted for their belief atheism should be illegal or condemned. Thomas More's Utopia advocated religious tolerance, but banned atheism. Although much of it was satire the disdain for atheists is generally agreed to be sincere. That said the category, if kept, should be renamed as this term is a nn neologism. Possibly it could be named Atheist-rights opponents or "Critics of atheism."--T. Anthony 16:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

  • KeepWhere else shall it be included when it is in fact a music video made using 3D animation ? What is listed is indeed facts and if that means promotional category,no artist from anywhere in this world can have his name entered here . Anuj Nair created the first 3D animated music video from India and it appeared on major music channels including MTV Nonstop Hits and MTV Most wanted.What else is expected to have an entry in the Category:'List of Music Videos using animation',when it is a full fledged 3D animated music video? Sorry to say,it gives one reason for suspicion that it is deleted from an eligible category because the entry is of Asian/Indian origin'' -- Jaitha (talk)
  • I would include it in List_of_music_videos_using_animation. It doesn't seem like that interesting a category to me, but it's a fine list. Delete.-Mike Selinker 19:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • List of music videos using animation is better than a category could be, as it allows us to include songs that do not have their own articles and to list additional information about each entry, such as the the name of the musical act and the animation technique. Details about Anuj Nair's video for "My Love for You" belong in the song's article, My Love for You, not in the preamble of a category. Please do not assume that there is anti-Asian bias in Provelt's nomination; I can assure you there is not. Delete. ×Meegs 19:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Anuj Nair is recognised in India as well as in international community.It would be a good idea to go through the references very carefully before suggesting anything.His album has appeared in MTV,Chanel V and also featured in the reputed magazine 'The Week'.Apart from India,the articles about him has appeared in prestigious newsletter in Arab countries- --Shanthi

{{lc|Kanto Region Rail Stations}}

  • Delete, This was up for cfd earlier here and ended up as no consensus, although no one really liked it the way it was. This category is currently useless, since it's just a convoluted way of stating which prefectures (and Tokyo) belong in the Kanto Region (without including all of them). It only contains three subcategories, all of which also belong to the parent category :Category:Railway stations in Japan. Bobet 14:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • If kept, find a way to distinguish it from the Pokemon variant. I thought this was a WP:PCP article. Tracker/TTV (myTalk|myWork|myInbox) 16:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

:*{{lc|Railway stations in Kyushu}}

:*{{lc|Railway stations in Shikoku}}??

:Both are also "regions", which just contain the prefectures listed in the parent cat. Stuffing all of the prefectures into regions is not a good idea, as there is not a 100% accepted definition for some of the regions (these two islands, are an exception) and the regional names are not familiar outside of Japan.

{{lc|Postwar films about World War Two}}

  • Delete, This category is imprecisely named. Either it was intended to be a category for films about after WWII (in which case it's never been used for that purpose), or it is meant for WWII films made after the end of the war. If that was the case, there is a category for films made during the war so it is not necessary to have a category for films made after the end of the war as their absence from the "during the war" category automatically makes them postwar films.

It says alleged on the category just to make sure it will remain WP:NPOV. Therre are many sourced allegations for any article being considerd fit for the category (very few will make it probably). In conclusion then, there's no reason what-so-ever to consider this category for deletion. Amoruso 04:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

:::thank you, I was going to do that myself you saved me the trouble. It is a weird phenomena that is analysed by universities why people hate their own people in a perverted way. Self hating is a known phenomena in cultures and is a real issue. People who want to delete this category because they don't understand it are speaking of ignorance of the issue I'm afraid, and it's too bad they're casting their votes without understanding it or learning about it. Shahak being a sourced anti semite is indeed the best example for self hating jew among others. This is all covered in Sander Gilman's book Jewish Self-Hatred.Amoruso 06:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

::::Personally, I would have thought that my decade covering racism and hate crimes as a reporter (with something of a specialty in anti-Semitism and Holocaust survivors) might have qualified me to vote on this category, but now I know better.

  • Delete - In general "allegation" categories are a bad idea as there's too great a chance of abuse. In a category you can't cite whether the allegation was by a tabloid or represents a widespread view among scholarly biographers. If something like this were to exist it'd be better as a list. That said some kind of category for admitted anti-Semitic Jews, like Dan Burros, or Jewish critics of Judaism like Baruch Spinoza might be possible.--T. Anthony 03:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
