:Suggest merging :Category:Canadian newspaper reporters and correspondents to :Category:Canadian newspaper journalists

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|Merge, There's no meaningful distinction being made here, as far as I can see. However, the other subcategories here -- Columnists, Editors and Photojournalists -- should certainly stay as is. Thanks, Shawn in Montreal 21:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}:Withdraw and speedily close if possible. As the nominator I'd like to withdraw my merge proposal, if that's possible, so as to move things alone. I see Cgingold (and others') point. Shawn in Montreal 16:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - It looks to me like :Category:Canadian newspaper journalists is serving as both a super-cat for the 4 sub-cats and a catch-all for those individuals who for one reason or another don't fit any of those sub-cats. "Reporters and correspondents" are as distinct a subset of journalists as are the other sub-cats, whereas "journalists" is a general term that embraces all of the different types. Cgingold 03:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Cgingold. Doczilla 06:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• The main reason that this was created is that the parent :Category:Reporters and correspondents was split off from :Category:Journalists; upmerging would mean that we'd have to replace the category with :Category:Canadian newspaper journalists and :Category:Canadian reporters and correspondents, which would be simply redundant. The only reason this doesn't seem to be serving a distinct purpose is that it hasn't been fully populated — but this is a distinct subset of journalists, which keeps them separated from columnists, film reviewers, editorial page editors, radio anchors, and on and so forth. Keep and populate. Bearcat 08:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Coated Paper}}

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|Delete found in the orphanage and not needed for the 3 articles categorized therein. Carlossuarez46 19:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

• Comment - all 3 of the articles on paper within it do indeed have descriptions that make it clear that they are coated papers. :Category:Paper is not well-organized; would this (if renamed to :Category:Coated papers) be a useful way of organizing papers? --Lquilter 20:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to :Category:Paper products. There doesn't need to be a separate category at this point for coated papers and merging will keep the articles in the paper products tree (heh). I agree that the overal paper category structure needs work but this particular division doesn't strike me as being too terribly helpful. Otto4711 23:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge to :Category:Paper, where the other types of paper (mostly) are. :Category:Paper products is for things made out of paper. It's possible someone knowledgeable could bulk this category up from those two, but I think it isn't needed yet. However coated/uncoated is a standard division of types of paper, so no prejudice to recreation if deleted. Johnbod 01:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Double reed organizations}}

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|This category only has one article, and seems unlikely to get any larger. Either delete or merge into some larger category, if one exists. Chromaticity 18:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

::The nomination is withdrawn. While I still think this is overcategorization, it is plainly obvious that the propensity to create virtually endless categories with the barest of distinctions is well-entrenched in Wikipedia. Forgive my intrusion; while I think this category is unnecessary, neither does it appear to be particularily harmful. As such, I withdraw the deletion request; could someone who understands how these things work do the appropriate paperwork? Chromaticity 03:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:*Comment - This is part of a wider effort (which did not previously exist) to categorize music organizations not within the main category, but within a new subcategory :Category:Music organizations by instrument. Like other music categories, such as :Category:Jazz bassoonists, there will necessarily be few articles in a single category. But such logical categorization is useful to our readers and follows the music categorization guidelines strictly. Note to the editor who took the time to put in this "delete vote" not 90 seconds after the subcategory was created: in the future, try to look through the upper-level category and related articles to see how the new category operates before submitting a deletion proposal so "instantly." Best, Badagnani 18:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I think it is a good way of sub-categorizing articles that would otherwise be much more difficult to navigate between within :Category:Music organizations. It would be even more useful with another parent category, or mutual "see also" links to (e.g.) :Category:Oboists, :Category:Bassoonists, :Category:Woodwind instruments or as appropriate.

:Propose renaming :Category:Disturbed members to :Category:Disturbed (band) members

:Propose renaming :Category:Disturbed albums to :Category:Disturbed (band) albums

:Propose renaming :Category:Disturbed songs to :Category:Disturbed (band) songs

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|Rename all. To reduce ambiguity of the names. Otto4711 17:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

• Recommend deletion; seems like overcategorization to me. Chromaticity 18:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, because this is how band members, albums and songs are categorized (see :category:Musicians by band, :Category:Albums by artist and :Category:Songs by artist), rather than in eponymous categories such as :Category:Disturbed (which has recently been nominated for deletion itself on the usual precedents). Do not rename because the main article is at Disturbed and so no disambiguation is needed. Context is everything! Bencherlite^Talk 19:49, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

:*Context is indeed important, which is why adding the word (band) as is often done for bands with ambiguous names (see :Category:Asia (band) members, :Category:Death (band) members, :Category:Extreme (band) members and many other examples) to establish that these categories are in the context of a musical group is a good idea. Otto4711 21:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

::*Yes, those names are needed since Asia, Death and Extreme don't point to Asia (band), Death (band) and Extreme (band) and there is a general aim to have categories match the name of the lead article. Here the article is Disturbed, not Disturbed (band) (which is a redirect). There is no ambiguity that requires "(band)" being added to the category. Bencherlite^Talk 21:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

• Rename all per nom. Probably rename the article too, but a adjective creates ambiguity in categories even if it doesn't in the one word title (which is questionable imho) Johnbod 23:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose We don't disambiguate unless we need to, Disturbed (band) is just a redirect to Disturbed ... which is how it ought to be since nothing else is named Disturbed. -- Prove It ^(talk) 01:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Rename all per nom. Doczilla (talk) 06:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Do not rename. I don't think matching the head article is that important here. I think it's only important if you can anticipate giving the same name to a category of articles with a different context. For example, :Category:Asia members can be about countries, :Category:Extreme members can be about digits, and :Category:Death songs can be about funerary music. (By the way, we should take a look at :Category:Television albums for the same reason.) But :Category:Disturbed songs isn't likely to be about songs like "Crazy Train," because such a category would likely be named :Category:Songs about mental illness.--Mike Selinker 16:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Heterosexual writers}}

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|I've emptied this and I'm tempted to speedy. It's some strange POINTy thing I presume. It had Josephus, Tacitus, William Shakespeare and Ezekiel in it. Do we know Ezekiel's sexuality? Even if we did, the category makes as much sense as "right handed". Doc^g 13:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

:Delete Unusually enough, I agree with Doc. Heterosexuality is the (statistically-speaking) normative case. While it's more important a characteristic than handedness, a writer's sexual orientation would generally only be notable when it differs from the norm. --Ssbohio 15:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

:Delete This is most likely a point violation. Possibly heterosexual Stonewall Book Award winners, or just nominees, or something could be of interest but otherwise no.--T. Anthony 17:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - per WP:POINT and WP:OC as illegitimate categorization basd on sexuality. The encyclopedically legitimate category structures for LGBT writers do not necessitate the corresponding structure for straights. Otto4711 18:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom. Johnbod 23:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment First of all there is a category for :Category:American Christians, and :Category:European Americans which fits at least 3 out of 4 americans a piece and :Category:Israeli Jews which fits for about 4 out of 5 Israelis thus just because it is mainstream doesn't really count secondly a writer being LGBT is usually not notable for being LGBT if it is then a writer being heterosexual is notable for not being LGBT

For example there is a category for :Category:African American writers and :Category:Mexican American writers etc. but there is no category for :Category:European American Writers

: to sum it up there cases where there are categories that show that having a majority category for example :Category:Israeli Jews yet at the same time for the category :Category:American writers by ethnicity there is subcats for almost all ethnicities except for European Americans, this is reverse discrimination if you are going to divide American writers by ethnicity it should be done based off of all ethnicities

: secondly there should be a category for Heterosexual writers it is reverse discrimination to say we are not going to make a category just because there is too much of a group

: --Java7837 00:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

::*Please see my reply re :Category:Israeli Jews below. Cgingold 03:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

::Gay literature actually exists as a distinct genre of literature that's actually studied for its own sake in the real world. There's no comparable social or literary phenomenon of heterosexual literature that's studied specifically because it was written by heterosexuals. This simply does not exist as a distinct literary genre — it's nothing more the sum total of all literature that isn't part of another genre that does actually exist. Bearcat 08:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:: You know, there's a difference between discriminating between people for housing & jobs on the basis of attributes irrelevant to their ability to reside (!) or perform work or and discriminating between concepts. As applied to people in housing & jobs, discrimination is a bad thing. Distinguishing the substantive content of topics for an encyclopedia is rather a different kind of discrimination, more like "distinguishing" or "thinking". --Lquilter 14:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:*The thing is "American Christians" is largely useful as a parent for specific groups of relevance. Although possibly it's no longer useful or being misused. Anyway it's not clear to me what this category can be a parent to that's useful. We have no article on Heterosexual literature or its subgenres. If you can reasonably create such a thing it could work as a category. Second :Category:European American Writers would largely only be of use as a parent category. I think it's not a necessary parent for right now. We do have :Category:Irish-American writers and :Category:Italian-American writers so European descended writers are not ignored outright. I would not object to more categories of European-descended American writers either if you can show relevance. I think there might be such a thing as "Polish American literature" so that might be possible as a next example.--T. Anthony 02:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I don't know what this has to do with Israeli Jews. And I don't think this is discriminatory, either. It's just a question of overcategorization. I also don't believe this is the first time a Hetrosexual writers or artist category has come up and they have always been deleted, rather swiftly. Thanks, Shawn in Montreal 02:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - The reason we have :Category:Israeli Jews is very simple -- and in fact, rather obvious, when you look at the bigger picture. In isolation it may seem pretty strange, but the crucial point is that :Category:Israeli Jews is part of a large, well-established category structure, :Category:Jews by country -- and we can't very well leave out Israeli Jews, in my humble opinion. Cgingold 03:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for all the reasons that have already been given. This category clearly isn't necessary, and the whole business has a strong odor of WP:POINT. Cgingold 03:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Bands with American and British members}}

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|Is the band's notability defined by the fact they have had members from both the UK and the US? I think this is overcategorization too. Lugnuts 13:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

• Delete trivial category. Doczilla 06:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• I think I can see a marginal rationale for this; I'm certain that some people think that having mixed American/British membership would call into question whether the band belongs in :Category:American musical groups or :Category:British musical groups. But the real answer to that, of course, is that you go by where the band is actually based...and on the rare occasion that it's still that unclear, there's no crime in applying two categories.

:{{Lc|White House weddings}}

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|Delete - improper basis for categorization. "Got married at the White House" is a trivial basis for categorizing people who otherwise have nothing in common. Otto4711 13:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

• Delete without prejudice - I was going to argue, because if we have articles on weddings then their location -- especially if at the White House -- seems like a defining quality. But then I looked at the category which has 6 articles about people who happened to get married at the White House. So since people != weddings, this category is inaccurately titled, and if it were renamed to "People who got married at the White House" it would be overcat by a trivial or non-defining quality. So delete. (But if we ever have articles on weddings that were conducted at the WH then this category appears to me, now, to be reasonable.) --Lquilter 20:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice per LQ & nom - these are all "people married at..." Johnbod 23:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Just for starters, we could have :Category:Niagara Falls weddings, :Category:Las Vegas weddings, :Category:Eiffel Tower weddings, and perhaps :Category:European castle weddings (in honor of Tom & Katie, of course). And while we're on the subject of weddings, I would really love to have :Category:Shotgun weddings, which undoubtedly would have 4 very angry parent categories. Cgingold 03:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. Doczilla 06:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom & Cgingold and have a marriages by duration as well and then the intersection of the two to see if white house weddings correlate to long marriages and Las Vegas ones to short. :-) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} merge all three to :Category:TVB television programmes. Bencherlite^Talk 21:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

:Suggest merging :Category:Drama episodes of TVB to :Category:TVB Episodic Drama

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|These 2 categories are covering the exact same ground: Dramatic series that run on the TVB network in Hong Kong. I propose that we move all of the items in the Drama episodes cat into the Episodic Drama cat and then rename the Episodic Drama cat cat. Proposing this because the Episodic cat is much bigger than the Drama episodes cat. But then the Episodic Drama cat needs to be renamed since it violates MoS. For a new cat name, I'm leaving it open to you guys. Category:Dramas on TVB perhaps? Woohookitty^Woohoo! 12:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

• Merge both to :Category:Programmes of TVB and rename that category to :Category:TVB television programmes in line with :Category:Television series by network. We do not appear to break down TV shows by genre and network and not seeing any reason to make this one an exception. Otto4711 12:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Ah ha! :) That's why I put it on here instead of doing it myself. Figured I was missing something. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 06:24, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

:Suggest merging :Category:English reality television series to :Category:British reality television series

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|Merge, All of these are made by UK television companies and broadcast throughout the UK so should not be described as English. Tim! 09:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} speedy rename. Bearcat 09:07, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:Propose renaming :Category:Adult Hits radio stations in the United States to :Category:Adult hits radio stations in the United States

:Nominator's rationale: {{{3|As is best evidenced by the parent category, {{cl|Adult hits radio stations}}, naming conventions state that the "h" in "hits" should be lowercase. JPG-GR 04:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}}

• Rename as per nom. Sting_au Talk 10:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy rename - clearly fits the guideline for speedy rename for capitalization fix. Otto4711 18:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy rename for capitalization fix. Doczilla 06:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• This is a clear case for the speedy brigade; we don't need to spend a week on it here. And with only two articles in it at present, I can fix it in about two minutes. (Anybody else could have, too...but that's neither here nor there.) Consider this done and closed...and populated. God bless AWB. Bearcat 08:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
