I emptied this category a while ago during a reorganization, distributing its contents among various overlapping or more specific categories such as Category:Mathematical games and Category:Logic puzzles. Since it's still empty several months later, I'm deducing that no-one sees any desperate need which is not adequately covered by these other categories. —Blotwell 18:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Merge. Vegaswikian 23:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge' - these are the same thing. If business people are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia biography, then they are by definition leaders within their field. There is no objective method of differentiating who goes in the main "Businesspeople" cats and who gets elevated to the priveleged status of "leaders". (Please note that this category was nominated for deletion on 30 March, 2005: the result was Keep (please see Category_talk:Business_leaders#CFD Discussion.)

Category:ASME Presidents to Category:American Society of Mechanical Engineers presidents

Expand acro to match article about group. Also cap fix. Vegaswikian 17:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play artists

This category was just deleted, but the same person chose to create it once again. Please see previous discussion and "delete" consensus here. Once again, this is an unncessary cat that will clutter pages. Wikipedia should not have categories for all the artits that have ever charted on a specific Billboard chart. If that continues, things will go out of control as users will create categories for every chart. We already have dance artist categories such as Category:American dance acts. This one has no use. --Musicpvm 17:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from speedy after objection. Vegaswikian 17:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such a word as Alcázars in Spanish (the plural for Alcázar is Alcázares) and given that the Spanish accent has been kept, it should be moved accordingly or renamed to English equivalent (maybe Alcazar buildings in Spain?). E Asterion u talking to me? 07:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also thought of this merge. I don't know if it is more correct, but in the Spanish wikipedia, it happens like that. The Alcázares are included in the Castles category. Just one more thing, the plural is Alcázares. Afonso Silva 22:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The plural in Spanish is "alcázares". That would not be a standard English plural. If the word has been taken into English, it would generally have a normal English plural form (and it would be a little high-falutin' to write the acute accent too) so it would be "alcazars". If the word has not been taken into English, then a Spanish plural would be correct, but then it's questionable to have it as a cat name in the English Wikipedia. Compare, for example, the word portico which is of Italian origin. the Italian plural is "portichi"; in English the plural is formed in the standard manner - "porticos".

The result of the debate was keep Tim! 11:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's subcategories were nominated, so I put the parent up as well. Not sure if I feel it should actually be deleted at this point, so I'll abstain Antares33712 15:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep An affiliation with a religion has an effect - one way or another - on a person. A politian stands out more in that regard. If POV is becoming a problem find a clear qualifying criteria like it has been done for Category:Roman Catholic politicians.Agathoclea 17:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per Agathoclea Antares33712 19:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the lot of them The qualifying criteria on the RC politicians cat are "politicians who have been born or raised or later converted as Roman Catholics, they are not necessarily still Roman Catholics or any other sort of Christian, nor can their actions be considered as condoned by the Catholic church." That's not "clear qualifying criteria", that's a disclaimer. Effectively we're saying, these people were technically RC ar some point (possibly only in their childhood), though we don't for certain that they all still are (though we probably know for a fact that some have made it explicit that they are not), and when we say "Roman Catholic" they might have been raised by fervent Christian Brothers and fired with an evangelical zeal or they might have had their heads dipped for the sake of convention and never seen the inside of a church again. (BTW, no-one gets "born Catholic", at most one can be born into a Catholic family). If this is the sort of clear qualifying criteria we are going to get on all these hazy ill-defined cats then they should go and go now. Valiantis 14:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep notable unless we want specialist categories such as Category:Politicians differing from their religion's position on capital punishment or Category:Politicians differing from their religion's position on abortion etc. which are clearly as interesting and encyclopedic as "Eccentrics" and "Anti-war people" etc. categories that have been kept by this process. Carlossuarez46 20:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Neither the parent nor the subcategories should be deleted. Kestenbaum 01:59, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all The assertion that religion influences politics needs to be justified on a case by case basis, but the category system is too crude to do that in an appropriate manner. Osomec 16:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Religion has had an effect on politics for quite a long time. User:Dimadick

"Normal" by itself just doesn't sound right, that all the other Pokémon are therefore not "normal". It really means that their type is "normal". Geopgeop 08:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The problem with this is that people who learn there's a "Dragon Pokémon" and "Water Pokémon" will presume there's a "Normal Pokémon" category, not a "Normal-type Pokémon" category, so when new ones come out, this category is likely to be recreated. But it could be a case similar to Category:Live (band) albums, which is so named not because there's another music act named Live but because "Live albums" is a phrase that matters. Not really sure which way to go on this.--Mike Selinker 13:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose A quick google search shows that in discussions of pokemon types these are really referred to as Normal Pokemon. So I'd go with what is normal usage. --JeffW 23:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are quite a few pages under the second category, and the first has been cleared out. However, in reality, the third category is the correct one, to avoid amiguity with the game The Legend of Zelda. I created the second one, and am now proposing to settle to the correct name once and for all. This change would also apply to all subcategories, see Category:The Legend of Zelda. Also see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#The Legend of Zelda for original proposal to moved from Category:Legend of Zelda to Category:The Legend of Zelda -- NTDOY Fanboy 00:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
