:* Propose renaming :Category:Railway stations at college campuses to :Category:Railway stations at university and college campuses

:Nominator's rationale: Requesting rename as this category includes stations serving college and university campuses in the United States and in other countries. In accordance with naming convention for categories about schools of higher education (i.e. :Category: Universities and colleges in the United States, :Category: Universities and colleges in Canada, etc) and to accommodate both American ("college") and non-American ("university") varieties of English. {{nowrap|RA0808 ^talk _contribs}} 19:20, 27 March 2018 (UTC); edited 19:06, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Question is this a defining characteristic? I'm opening two articles, Harvard station and Haverford Station and both do not even mention a campus. I'm just speculating now that that these stations are near a campus rather than at a campus but that would raise the question how close to a campus a station should be to qualify for this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
There is a possibility that the category's creator or some other editors may have been a bit overzealous in adding stations and it may require cleanup. I'm also not opposed to determining what criteria define a station being "at" a campus (i.e. Would a station that exclusively serves a college/university but isn't located directly on campus be considered "at"?). I can say that even if we limit this category to stations located on or immediately adjacent to colleges/universities it would still be a useful category. {{nowrap|RA0808 ^talk _contribs}} 18:53, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Support, 'College' is very Amerocentric to this Canadian and the proposal would provide the right balance. Radagast (talk) 22:59, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Support -- There is also one at University of Birmingham (England). Peterkingiron (talk) 17:47, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Delete (as we don't otherwise categorize stations by what they are at/near afaics - e.g. this is the only "Category:Railway stations at ...") or rename and purge. DexDor^(talk) 11:49, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Prefer to keep as "accidents" and purge out other incidents (if necessary). That is the focus of almost all of them. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Support I like expanding the inclusion for noted reasons above. I suggest less wordiness, "accidents and" seems unnecessary if we define an accident as being an incident. Why would it not be? Trackinfo (talk) 06:27, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Rename or delete (as there's :Category:Antarctic agencies). E.g. the British Antarctic Survey is based (i.e. headquartered) in Cambridge, UK. If not renamed/deleted then add text to make the scope clear and purge (then delete if empty). Note: List of organizations based in Antarctica appears to have a similar problem (perhaps that should be changed to something like List of organizations with a research base in Antarctica).

There's a whole structure at :Category:American television anchors by city.

Delete. :Category:American television anchors by city is not an "overall, accepted subcategorization scheme" in the sense that every city automatically gets one of these the moment there's one person from there to be filed in it — a city can have a subcategory in that tree if there are a lot of anchors from there, but does not automatically get one of these the moment the number of articles to file in it exceeds zero. By the same token, cities don't automatically get a "mayors of (City)" the moment one past or present mayor of that city has an article, either — it's a scheme where an individual city subcategory doesn't get created until there are at least five articles to file in it.

Question - does South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands officially belong to Falkland Islands Dependencies?GreyShark (dibra) 05:51, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

:* Fwiw, the article Falklands Islands Dependencies ends with saying that In 1985 the dependencies became the distinct British overseas territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Support nomination, too few articles for this category tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
{{ping|BrownHairedGirl}} on a point of detail: the first nominated category would still have two sub-cats. It could be merged to :Category:Years in the Falkland Islands Dependencies but, as the territory's history spans two centuries, the nominated cat might as well be kept as part of the C20 hierarchy. – Fayenatic London 08:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Comment - would it not be better merging the categories to their Falkland Island equivalents, rather than British Empire ones - especially since the British Empire did not exist in 1976 or 1982? Grutness...wha? 00:59, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Comment According to our British Empire article, the Empire ended in 1997 with the loss of Hong Kong. Dimadick (talk) 06:47, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Interesting... it actually says "The transfer of Hong Kong to China in 1997 marked for many the end of the British Empire." (my italics). I was always under the impression that the end of empire officially came with the independence of India: The official title of the British monarch prior to that time was (in a shortened form) King/Queen of the United Kingdom and her domains and territories, and Emperor/Empress of India. As such, after India's independence, George VI was no longer an Emperor, and thus Britain no longer had an empire. Grutness...wha? 01:55, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Support in principle, but this is still overkill. "British Overseas Territories" would be a better target than British Empire. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:54, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Anachronism, {{ping|Peterkingiron|p=}}. The term British Overseas Territory" was introduced by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:08, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Criticism accepted. However, the gradual dismantling of the empire since WWII has meant that the term has hardly been used (save historically) since the 1960s, when most major colonies achieved independence. I wonder whether the appropriate general parent for British possessions outside the British Isles might not be "British colonies". Peterkingiron (talk) 16:48, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
