:Nominator's rationale: To bring into line of XX in YY as per WP:NCCAT and following the convention in category hierarchy of {{cl|Cycle racing in YY}}. Three renaming debates have taken place about sports teams before in February 2008: baseball, basketball and ice hockey. Not all sports follow this (for example, {{cl|Rugby union teams}} and {{cl|Association football clubs by country}}); however, cycling teams are eligible to compete pretty much wherever they like, seldom competing in a national league structure, and at the top level the country that a team is based in is pretty irrelevant in sporting terms (for example, Astana (cycling team) have been based in three countries in four seasons) and so the adjective form of the country name is inappropriate. SeveroTC 23:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Rename to :Category:Cylcing teams based in France etc. I think there is some (not a lot) relevancy in noting this, and/but can t think of any other way to subdivide :Category:Cycling teams. The suggested rename is not a better option as it suggests even more so that the teams listed participate in the countries named. Mayumashu (talk) 13:31, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- I was considering bringing this naming style in this nomination and am happy with that if it's preferred. SeveroTC 13:39, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- Updated to reflect suggestion. SeveroTC 20:07, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Solar energy standards}}
:Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:OC#SMALL. Of the three articles in the category, two -- Uniform Mechanical Code and Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code -- make no mention of solar power, leaving us only with one valid entry, Uniform Solar Energy Code. I cannot find anything else in the parent :Category:Solar energy to help populate this category at this time. I've taken the liberty of adding to the parent category to this one article; should this CfD be successful no upmerge would be necessary. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- What about Category:Fuel cell standards ?. I think you like the solar topics more than other topics. ;-) Although there are other reasons, add also Category:Fuel cell standards to the deletion or maintain both. --Nudecline (talk) 06:44, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- :Category:Fuel cell standards is reasonably well populated: yours cannot be, at least at this time. Your comment only reinforces my feeling that you are unable to comprehend why your categories are being deleted, one after the other. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

:Propose renaming :Category:Australian football (soccer) players from Melbourne to :Category:Association football (soccer) players from Melbourne
:Nominator's rationale: this a subcategory of :Category:Sportspeople from Melbourne. The convention is not to include the nationality for categories of people by sub-national place and occupation - eg. :Category:Baseball players from California. As for the disambiguate, 'football (soccer)' has been replaced by 'association football' through WP in general, however the term 'soccer' is still commonly used in Australia (if only mostly by those not involved in the sport). Mayumashu (talk) 19:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:*Comment Don't really have a strong preference one way or the other about "football (soccer)" and "association football" although I think the argument to keep "football (soccer)" in Australia and nowhere else is fairly flimsy - the sport is now commonly called "football" in Australia. That said, to use "association football (soccer)" is definitely overkill and smacks of the worst sort of compromise between the two uses. "Soccer" is an abbreviation of "association" and it is redundant to use both. It makes the already wordy category name even wordier. Agree with removing the nationality part though and suggest :Category:Association football players from Melbourne or :Category:Football (soccer) players from Melbourne. -- Mattinbgn\talk 22:59, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
::I'd support :Category:Association football players from Melbourne as a second choice (to the one I ve nominated). Frankly, I d like to see 'association football' used for all categories relating to all countries across WP. Mayumashu (talk) 14:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Comment -- The category name should match Australian usage, but be unambiguous when there is also Australian-rules football. Accordingly, I would support :Category:Association football players from Melbourne, but I am in England and should bow any one who can confirm local usage. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
- Rename to :Category:Association football players from Melbourne. I think "Association football (soccer)" would be redundant in this case. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Only 5 articles or categories could possibly belong in these categories. They could be served better by a navbox at the bottom of the respective articles. We definitely don't need both of these, and probably neither. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep as parent categories for those using categories as navigation. Alansohn (talk) 02:59, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- (replaced below) merge ::Category:Boroughs in New York into :Category:Boroughs of New York City so the category will both have the category and article for each Borough. 'New York City' is the better name. Keep :Category:Boroughs of New York City as a proper set of articles that belong together and as a proper subcat of its parents. Hmains (talk) 02:19, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Merge as per User:Hmains comments Mayumashu (talk) 14:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- comment I would like to change my mind after looking at the category structure of :Category:Boroughs of the United States which contains all state level sub-categories. :Category:Boroughs of New York City should contain have both the category and article for each Borough. :Category:Boroughs of New York City should be the child of :Category:Boroughs in New York (the name of the state) which should be the child of :Category:Boroughs in New York. So keep both categories. Each has a proper use here. Hmains (talk) 03:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep both The NY cat possibly needs a headnote that it relates to NY state. It is notorious that NY City consists of 5 boroughs. Since there are only 5, possibly a navbox might be better, but having a cat is harmless. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Grid parity}}
:Nominator's rationale: In addition to my CfD of :Category:Low cost solar power, I'd like to nominate this parent category of Nopetro's for deletion per WP:OC#ARBITRARY. I believe it's a fine example of Nopetro's habit of misusing categories to point out tangential associations and advance an argument, rather than grouping by defining qualities. Grid parity is described in the main article as "the point at which renewable electricity is equal to or cheaper than grid power." However, this category is mainly populated with solar device manufacturing companies that are not in themselves examples of grid parity. Nor is the Photovoltaics article. Likewise, Solar power in the United States is not an article on grid parity. Take those away and we don't have the makings of a valid category, at least at this time. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:35, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Support – Nopetro has not grasped the difference between a category and 'what links here'. Occuli (talk) 17:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:*That's a much better and more succinct way of putting it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Mantain Of course one can populate articles with links to other ones (or the massified what links here). But this is not an elegant way to include information about cheap solar electricity (this is the problem, solar electricity is become a serious risk for other dirty electricity and is more and more cheaper).--Nudecline (talk) 06:37, 15 June 2010 (UTC) (former Nopetro).
{{Artcreator|Nudecline}} Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Right now, I'd say "the problem" is your failure to grasp -- or just give a *** -- about how Wikipedia catgeories are supposed to work. Wikipedia does not exist to "include information about cheap solar electricity" -- or promote any cause. We need to follow guidelines and common sense or the encyclopedia just becomes a tangled mess. I've already stated at your latest SPI that I think you need to be blocked from further category creation, due to your persistent misuse of categories over several years. Whether that can happen, I don't know. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:38, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete as another junk category. Mangoe (talk) 01:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Delete. Not an actual family as the linked Hemingway is-modern wishful thinking. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 15:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete – how do we decide whether it is :Category:Bogart family, :Category:Bacall family or :Category:Robards family? And the Hemingway family is a subcat because they were friends?? Occuli (talk) 17:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete - Gratuitous category, any one listed here will also be listed in corresponding articles. Not necessary. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete --Friends are not part of family. L. Bacall married twice - to Bogart and then Robards and had a son by the latter who is also a notable actor. Her two husbands were not part of the same family. The links are thus mostly too tenuous to make a good category. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: I want to include some categories like :Category:Hosiery that have an obvious connection to legs, but there's no suitable category. I could create another category :Category:Lower limb, that would have this present category as a sub-category, but I feel that would be an over-categorisation, and a rename would be better.

::Ditto :Category:Upper limb anatomy, as that could then include :Category:Armwear. Fences&Windows 15:27, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. Anatomy is a tightly defined category and all of its sub-cats should be kept distinct. Clothing for lower limbs is an equally valid category and should be kept separate; and be in a category tree for clothing? (or something). A cross-reference to each would be be ok.

- Support per nom. Johnbod (talk) 13:21, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose: these are a group of objects which have historically been grouped together as being ethnographic, and reflects the evolution of what is regarded as "ethnography". There should be separate categories for :Category:Artefacts from Africa in the British Museum, :Category:Artefacts from Oceania in the British Museum and :Category:Artefacts from the Americas in the British Museum. Also the Museum of Mankind should be separated from 6 Burlington Gardens which is merely where this museum was located, maybe as part of Ethnography at the British Museum, which could feature information from [http://www.britishmuseum.org/the_museum/departments/africa,_oceania_and_americas/history_of_the_collection.aspx here]Harrypotter (talk) 19:08, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
::We already have the sub :Category:African objects in the British Museum, which will move with the rename, and there are only three articles in the main cat at present, so other subs are hardly needed yet. Johnbod (talk) 13:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
:The need arises not from the nature of the objects but from the nature of Ethnography, for which the wikipedia page is regrettably poor. Please see the start which has been made at Ethnography at the British Museum. The collecting of objects was a significant element in the development of ethnography, as can be seen from the transfer of objects to Göttingen (Schlözer is not even mentioned in the wikipedia Ethnography entry). His role and the intellectual investigation of the Russian Empire was an important factor in the development of ethnography, something continued when Sergey Oldenburg led the Russian ethnography into the service of the Bolshevik reconstruction of the state. The crux issue is concerned about whether European peoples should be considered the "object" of study for ethnographers. The more recent decision to set aside the name Department of Ethnography for an amalgam of different geographical areas which arguably have little in common except for their marginalisation by European expansionism following the advent of capitalism might indicate that the current way of thinking about these objects - and the consequent taxonomy evinced by the set of categories used - could be liable to change. Perhaps we should keep the category for now, and review in say five years time?Harrypotter (talk) 08:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
::As as aside, you may wish to experiment with CatScan. Using [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&basecat=British+Museum&basedeep=3&mode=cs&tagcat=Ethnography&tagdeep=4&go=Scan&format=html&userlang=en CatScan] to compare the parent categories of British Museum and Ethnography reveals 6 relevant artefacts. Fæ (talk) 11:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep for now -- It may be useful to recategorise articles by continents, when that has been done, we can reconsider deletion. I suspect there will be more that might go in this cat, but I suspect that the concept is imperialist (or rather colonialist) in the sense that it is about the culture of peoples perceived as "primitive". Peterkingiron (talk) 19:20, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
- This is a possible solution, though it does mean that relevant artefacts would be listed in both categories. One for the current BM department and one for the old name of the same department. Fæ (talk) 21:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the corporate history of Kawasaki, but there's the example of Mitsubishi which is now a bunch of independently competing businesses under the same umbrella name. East of Borschov (talk) 07:52, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Category names generally follow the name of the main article which in this case is :Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Is there something I missed? If the current name is OK, the proposed name should be also. Mitsubishi is a different case since the article and category already have the same name. On that one you could argue that the name should be Mitsubishi Group, but that is a different issue. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- The point is, different Mitsubishis are different unrelated companies since the Americans crushed the zaibatsu in '45. The competition between Mitsubishi Electric (MEI) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) in home air conditioning markets is a textbook example (I don't recall the authors, but it was indeed a business school case in the early 1990s). They were (then) as related as General Motors and General Electric. East of Borschov (talk) 08:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
::::Clearly [http://www.mitsubishi.com/e/group/about.html this] says Mitsubishi is not a single company, while [http://www.khi.co.jp/overview/organization_e.html Kawasaki] seems to be saying everything it can to indicate it is one company. There are bits and pieces that were spun off in past decades, and some were merged back in, so while some former parts of KHI are now separate, the units referenced in the article seem to all actually be part of KHI. --Dbratland (talk) 16:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Support rename given that Kawasaki is a disambiguation page pointing to, among other things, a number of towns in Japan, it would be more appropriate to use the parent company's name for all things related to the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group. --Biker Biker (talk) 09:24, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

:{{Lc|Low cost solar power}}
:Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE. This category by banned User:Mac (now suspected to be editing as User:Nopetro and User:Nudecline) may be a good example of how what works as an article may not work as a category. The article Low-cost photovoltaic cell begins: "A low-cost photovoltaic cell is a thin-film cell that has a price competitive with traditional (fossil fuels and nuclear power) energy sources. This includes second and third generation photovoltaic cells, that is cheaper than first generation (crystalline silicon cells...)." So in other words, anything other than the most expensive first generation cells can today be deemed "low-cost," if within range of fossil and fission power, and cheaper than the previous 'high-cost solar'. However, current technologies now deemed low-cost may be undercut to the point where they are looked back on as relatively high-cost. I'm doubtful that last year's "low cost" design will remain so, as a defining characteristic. Better to continue categorizing these systems according to objective technological definitions rather than shifting POV perceptions in the markeplace Shawn in Montreal (talk) 06:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

:Propose renaming :Category:Supersport motorcycles to :Category:Sport bikes
:Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category should align with Types of motorcycles and have Sport bike as its main article. Having a category for "motorcycles eligible for Supersport racing" violates WP:BIAS by ignoring that there are many supersport classes around the world: AMA Supersport Championship, British Supersport Championship, Supersport World Championship, the All-Japan Supersport championship, China Superbike Championship's supersport class, and others. Note that Supersport racing not a proper main article but is a disambiguation page because the term means so many different things. Not to mention muddling the distinctions with the several classes of Superbike racing, because "supersport" also happens to be a widely used term for all sport bikes, not just those in the supersport racing classes. It would make sense to have a category for each specific racing class, such as :Category:British Supersport Championship motorcycles, but trying to lump them all together is meaningless and confusing.
In contrast, it does make sense to have categories for sport bikes, cruisers, dual-sports, and so on, as described in Types of motorcycles. Dbratland (talk) 05:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

:Oppose. The category was named this way for a reason. Unlike with most other federal subjects of Russia, Sakha's laws do not mention "urban-type settlements", but rather distinguish "settlements" as inhabited localities of urban type (as opposed to "towns"—a different kind of inhabited localities of urban type, and selos—inhabited localities of rural type). Using just "settlements in the Sakha Republic" as a category name would, however, be ambiguous to the historical aspect (before the 1990s there used to be "settlements" of both rural and urban type in the republic), hence the addition of the "of urban type" clarification.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 14, 2010; 13:38 (UTC)

:The Anglo-Saxon and Mercian settlement categories should not be deleted, and they should stay as settlements, not populated places. The creation of these categories is an ongoing work under WP:WPASK and is specifically to list settlements that were established during the anglo-saxon period. Redirects on original placenames are added to enable the category to be used to populate a settlement list, and also as placemarks for follow-up stubs on anglo-saxon etymology. :Category:Mercian settlements is merely the first sub-category being completed.Metabaronic (talk) 19:49, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
