Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 August 23
August 23
- Delete, see below. -- ProveIt (talk) 23:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, or else create Category:Actors by continent. -- ProveIt (talk) 23:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, overenthusiastic categorization. Plus, they left out the meatball chef. -- ProveIt (talk) 22:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Simpsons characters --Vossanova o< 22:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's getting far too granular. Merge per Vossanova. Bearcat 00:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Fields Medal
Category:Fields Medal (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Abel Prize
Category:Abel Prize (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete [Category:Fields Medal], Category:Fields Medalists can be elsewhere, and this isn't likely to grow.--Lkjhgfdsa 22:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep, Category:Abel laureates exists and is much less populated. Then why FM can't exist? It is likely to grow - because it was not awarded for the last time. And I believe, that category's growth is not essential for it to exist. Cmapm 22:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)As Abel Prize is nominated too, I'm changing my vote to delete for both categories. Cmapm 23:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)- Delete both; unnecessary subcategoriz/sation. David Kernow 23:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Category:Government of the District of Columbia. See discussions of May 17th and August 9th. -- ProveIt (talk) 21:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Hong Kong-related computer software
Category:Hong Kong-related computer software into Category:Science and technology in Hong Kong
- Merge, only two articles within, and AFAIK no other software by country/region categories exist. Vossanova o< 21:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedian Star Wars edits Organization
Category:Wikipedian Star Wars edits Organization (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, There is a Wiki project for Star Wars. There doesn't need to be a seperate category for it as well. RobJ1981 20:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:American revolutionaries
Category:American revolutionaries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, This category is partially folks from the category "People of the American Revolution" and its sub-categories, and partially folks from many other time periods. They do not belong lumped together Desertsky85451 19:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This is a subcategory of Category:Revolutionaries by nationality and is fundamentally different from category:People of the American Revolution, which includes people on all sides of that dispute. Choalbaton 21:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Do you honestly think that due to the fact that they were all americans and all radicals that Nat Turner, Eugene V. Debs, Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin belong in this lump category? That is a flimsy argument. Desertsky85451 22:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedian user pages
I'd rename:
- category:Wikipedian user pages to category:Wikipedians by user page
- category:Wikipedians whose usernames are initialed a lowercase letter to category:Wikipedians with usernames with lowercase initial letters
- category:Wikipedians with a picture to category:Wikipedians with pictures
- category:Wikipedians with an underscore in their username to category:Wikipedians with underscores in their usernames
- category:Vandalized Users Pages to category:Wikipedians whose user pages have been vandalized
- category:Vandalized Bots Pages to category:Wikipedia bots whose user pages have been vandalized
- category:Wikipedians Wished a Happy First Edit Day from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee to category:Wikipedians wished a Happy First Edit Day by the Wikipedia Birthday Committee
and I'd delete:
- category:Wikipedians with perfect User pages
- category:Wikipedians who stole Talrias' user page theme
I guess I find it hard to feel too sorry for Talrias.--Mike Selinker 18:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename all as proposed and delete the two articles proposed for deletion. No offense, Talrias, but your user page really isn't all that great. :-) --Cswrye 19:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, or create Category:Academy Awards winners by ethnicity. -- ProveIt (talk) 18:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This is a category that probably doesn't need to be divied up by ethnicity. --Cswrye 19:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, it shouldn't be subcategorized by ethnicity. --musicpvm 20:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This is a national category not an ethnic category. Choalbaton 21:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think Category:Academy Awards winners by nationality is an improvement. -- ProveIt (talk) 22:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Hapas
Category:Hapas (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Neutral, This category has a history of previous deletions. Arual 17:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete As American bloodlines get more and more intermingled it becomes less and less worth following. They are just Americans to me. Choalbaton 21:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is perfectly valid for people who are properly identified as such; a lot of the problem with it that I've noted in the past has had to do with using it as a catchall term for any person with mixed Asian and Caucasian heritage regardless of whether or not they actually belonged in a specifically Hawaiian cultural context. I'm pretty neutral; I have no objection to categorization by multiethnicity as long as the right terms are used. Bearcat 00:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Mestizo
Category:Mestizo to Category:Mestizos
- Rename, mistakenly added to categories for deletion instead of renaming. Arual 17:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy rename. It qualifies as speedy if you are just changing to plural form. I've updated the tags. -- ProveIt (talk) 18:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy rename per ProveIt. CSD C2, I believe? Luna Santin 18:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy rename per nom. --Cswrye 19:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Rave Master characters, to match Rave Master. -- ProveIt (talk) 17:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. -- Jade Keira 18:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to match main article. Luna Santin 19:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
French Open
- Category:French Opens by year (tennis) to Category:French Open events by year
- Category:French Opens to Category:French Opens by year
- Rename, Clarify difference between the two categories Tim! 17:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename for specificity, in spite of my initial confusion. :) Merging would seem to clutter things up and reduce ease of browsing. Definitely rename -- I'm trying to think of a more obvious way to distinguish between the two categories, but until/unless somebody does, these will work well. Luna Santin 19:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose This does not increase specificity but rather reduces it. There is a French Open in golf, and there are probably French Opens in many several sports. Imo the thing to do is to merge these two into Category:French Opens by year (tennis) and create a subcategory for each year that has more than one article. This will also facilitate placement of the articles in Category:Sports by year. Choalbaton 21:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per Choalbaton to Category:French Open (tennis) by year. David Kernow 23:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:French presidential election candidate, 2007
Category:French presidential election candidate, 2007 to Category:Candidates for the French presidential election, 2007
- Rename, Candidate should be plural and I think this version reads more clearly. Tim! 17:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per Tim!; I believe the comma between "...election" and the year is standard...? David Kernow 23:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Verify and convert to article. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to History of Northern Ireland. Looks like an article created in category space. If nothing to merge, then delete. Possible WP:BITE concern, editor's first contrib and looks to be good faith, if unsourced. I've given them a welcome; if somebody can figure out a good way to let them know about this before I do, feel free. Luna Santin 19:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Fork article rather than a category. Choalbaton 21:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per Choalbaton and give creator MerlineErbe friendly invite to examine History of Northern Ireland. David Kernow 23:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, distribute between Category:Bug Pokémon, Category:Fictional arthropods, Category:Fictional insects. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, all are already in Category:Bug Pokémon which is a subcat of Category:Fictional insects. --musicpvm 18:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Sebastian Faulks novels, convention of Category:Novels by author. -- ProveIt (talk) 16:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:User 1337. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge. I like that it's a "language." (By the way, that category:Wikipedians by language is terrifying. At some point we will have to decide whether to leave it as is or make some monstrously large changes.)--Mike Selinker 15:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. By the way, I've looked at Category:Wikipedians by language as well. I'd like for it to change eventually, but that will be quite a task, and quite honestly, not one that I think I want to tackle. --Cswrye 16:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedians by Wikipedia related skills and knowledge to category:Wikipedians by Wikipedia skills
Just making it briefer.--Mike Selinker 14:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- delete Pointless, self-congratulatory and POV. Adds no value. --BlackJack | talk page 14:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- That seems a bit harsh, BlackJack. It could be a resource: If I want to create a user box but don't know how, I can ask one of these guys. So that's value.--Mike Selinker 15:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename - I think that this is a legitimate category that could be useful. --Cswrye 16:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename - "Wikipedia-related skill" is a bit too vague - what's a Wikipedia-related skill? Does typing count? Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Only two users have selected into this category. I don't much like what it says about others, sort of like category:User intelligent.--Mike Selinker 14:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete POV and no value whatsoever. --BlackJack | talk page 14:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Lack of usefulness aside, it does have a hint of elitism about it. -- Jade Keira 19:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Belizean music. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per nom although I prefer "Music of Belize" as a title (it has a nice ring to it). --BlackJack | talk page 14:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, and would support a gang rename of Category:Music by nationality members. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge, and the rename of Category:Music by nationality is fine too. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete since Awesum is subjective. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- delete per nom. Not only subjective but also childish in this context. --BlackJack | talk page 14:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete - Generally useless vanity category. --Cswrye 16:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Ugh. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. -- Jade Keira 19:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, preferably speedy. Bearcat 00:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Most Happy Days characters do not have pages, so this category seems useless and should be deleted. - Triviaa 17:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 10:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy close and move to WP:CfD. -- Kicking222 11:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep 2 articles is sufficient. Osomec 13:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. --BlackJack | talk page 14:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Much expansion possibility. I expect a Leather Tuscadero article any day now.--Mike Selinker 14:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep They all deserve pages. Except Chachi. And Al, who's just a cheap imitation of Arnold. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - It's not that uncommon for television series to have a category specificly for their characters. And just because there are only two articles currently doesn't mean there's not room for expansion. Dugwiki 20:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Mead. -- ProveIt (talk) 13:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge other way around I think Category:Mead should be merged into this one. --BlackJack | talk page 14:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok ... I've tagged the Mead category as well. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I support merging both into Category:Honey liqueurs and spirits, as it will cover both. Not all honey liquors are meads/melomels, etc. -- nae'blis 16:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Both appear to be different items. Category:Mead needs to be kept since it is basically similar to wine in many aspects, but made from honey. Category:Honey liqueurs and spirits are products flavored with honey. I guess you could say that Category:Mead could be a sub cat of Category:Honey liqueurs and spirits, but I'm not sure that would be accurate. In any case, they should not be merged. Vegaswikian 16:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. I agree with Vegaswikian, mead is not a liqueur nor is it spirits, and neither of those are mead. Mead is a primary fermentation with honey as a major component, not a distillation with or without flavouring. I doubt that Category:Honey liqueurs and spirits has merit as a category, but don't feel strongly enough about it to suggest deletion. Webaware 23:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Conspiracy theorists
Category:Conspiracy theorists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Previous cfd: Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2005_December_23 (result: no consensus)
Please compare:
- Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_28#Category:Pseudoscientists
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of pseudoscientists
Advancing conspiracy theories is not a profession, and (at leat in itself) not a crime. It may even be a rather peripheral aspect of a person.
Pjacobi 11:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Pjacobi 11:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as it will lead to POV inclusions --BlackJack | talk page 14:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete. Used predominantly as "commentary by categorization" (perhaps to do an end-run around NPOV and WP:V rules). Also, this category is in stark conflict with the recently tightened policy in WP:LIVING (for those categorized persons currently living, which looks like most of them right now). LotLE×talk 16:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, with updated category description - I took the liberty of expanding the category definition to hopefully remove most or all subjectivity within this category. Specifically, to be included in Category:Conspiracy theorists an article must describe a person who actively defends one of the Conspiracy theories listed in Category:Conspiracy theories. In other words, for every specific conspiracy theory article listed under that category on Wikipedia, a person who verifiably actively defends that theory is defined as a conspiracy theorist for purposes of category inclusion. That should make it straightforward to objectively determine whether or not someone belongs in the category; just cross-check the Conspiracy theories category against beliefs mentioned in the article. Any thoughts? Dugwiki 21:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Follow-up comment - One thing the above suggestion will mean is that we should also make a pass through the articles in the category to remove people who don't fall under the narrower definition. Some of the articles may be about people who espouse fairly esoteric or unique theories that aren't notable enough for an article, or who are just generally paranoid. Those people's articles should be removed under the new narrow definition. Dugwiki 21:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
This isn't a Wikipedian category. Instead, it's a new category that's the same type as the "celebrities with MySpace accounts" categories we've been obliterating. So I'd delete it, and maybe turn it into a list.--Mike Selinker 11:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom.-choster 15:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Too trivial for a category. --Cswrye 16:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Lack of usefulness. -- Jade Keira 19:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Transportation games
Category:Transportation games to Category:Transportation infrastructure computer games
- Rename, Firstly to confirm they are computer games and not board games. Secondly, this specific genre is about transport networks and not simulations of individual vehicles. 'network' would a nicer word but may be confused with computer networks. Alternatively 'Transport infrastructure ...' Marasmusine 08:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Transport infrastructure computer and video games (etc) to match Category:Computer and video games or upmerge into Category:City building games (which in turn may need to be renamed for conventions, heh). Luna Santin 09:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to category:Transport simulator computer and video games. "Simulator" (or "sim") is a common enough term in this genre, but infrastructure is not. (That said, I also support the change as nominated.)--Mike Selinker 11:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Transport infrastructure computer and video games per Luna Santin. AIUI "Simulator" is probably not apropriate for this category as train sims and flight sims, etc are about controling individual vehicles rather than networks. Thryduulf 12:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Nothing wrong with existing title and the concept is explained on the category page. The suggested alternatives are going to tie everyone in knots. --BlackJack | talk page 14:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that "transport infrastructure" isn't quite ideal, so I can see where you're coming from, even if I'd rather still have it (or something better) to be more specific. Either way, would you be willing to concede "computer and video games," since that's really a pretty strong naming convention? Luna Santin 19:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Unreleased films
Category:Unreleased films (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, redundant to Category:Upcoming films. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, "upcoming films" implies completion, where this is, I think, more intended for films which will never be released. Granted, I'm a bit wierded out by the notability concerns of that conclusion. If we do keep, I might suggest a merge one way or the other with Category:Unfinished films. Luna Santin 09:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Category:Unfinished films as per Luna Santin. The process of filmmaking surely includes release just as project development must include implementation. If the release/implementation stage is not achieved, the project/film is incomplete and so "unfinished". --BlackJack | talk page 14:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, apparently The Fantastic Four (film) is complete, but shevled anyway. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep "Unfinished" and "unreleased" aren't necessarily the same thing. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep As above, "unfinished" and "unreleased" aren't identical. The Fantastic Four (film) is a good example of a finished film that the studio opted not to release to the public. Dugwiki 21:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per distinctions discussed above. David Kernow 23:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Ancient historians
Category:Ancient historians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- No vote. Appears to have been tagged on February 2, no discussion on that day, listing for discussion. Vegaswikian 06:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Unsure, but if this really only has two members, it might be better to recategorize the articles in Category:Historians by field of study as appropriate. Thoughts? Luna Santin 09:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into category:Historians of antiquity. The term "ancient historians" is a little misleading: does it mean ancient history authorities; does it mean Herodotus and Thucydides; does it mean historians who are old!? --BlackJack | talk page 14:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge I saw "ancient historians" and thought of Pliny the Younger instead of contemporary scholars. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 16:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per BlackJack. I missed that one trying to look for a merge candidate, nice. :) Luna Santin 19:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge per BlackJack. The "ancient historians" name is too indistinct and could cause confusion. -- Jade Keira 19:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Historians of antiquity per BlackJack. David Kernow 23:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Atlanta rap artists
Category:Atlanta rap artists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- No vote. Appears to have been tagged on July 9, no discussion on that day, listing for discussion. Vegaswikian 06:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Pointless trivial category which is any case spelled wrong as the "c" has been missed off yet again. --BlackJack | talk page 14:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, it's not necessary to further categorize rappers by every city. --musicpvm 16:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Kentucky colonels
Category:Kentucky colonels (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- No vote. Appears to have been tagged on July 15, no discussion on that day, listing for discussion. Vegaswikian 06:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I can't figure out what this category is, exactly. But a category of people named Kentucky colonel (an honorary designation) would probably be acceptable. --W.marsh 23:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Changing this Burning Man category to match most others in category:Wikipedians by subculture.--Mike Selinker 05:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Just one format here: “Wikipedians in X.” I intentionally made the Peace Corps category more inclusive. I decided not to add the subcategories of the CVU until I saw where this was headed.--Mike Selinker 04:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Tentative support, pending discussion. In general, I like the idea of naming consistency among most or all categories. I'll point out a few of these I have minor seconds thoughts about: category:Wikipedians in the Featured Article Drive team, drop "team"? Or does that make it unclear? It seems a minor deviation from "Wikipedians in X," but maybe that's just me. Same might go for category:Wikipedians in the WikiWikiWeb community. category:Wikipedians in the Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales might be an acronym worth contracting, as taboo as I know it is. :p Um, can't think of anything else, for now, but thought somebody should start this discussion rolling. Thanks for bringing it to the table. Luna Santin 10:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- You hit upon some I was unsure about, Luna. Based on your comment, I fixed Feature Article Drive, withdrew WikiWikiWeb (and moved it to category:Wikipedians by website instead), and left AIESEC as nominated for now.--Mike Selinker 11:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I would rename AIESEC category into "Wikipedians in AIESEC", if at all. The organization's compendium says the acronym is not in effect anymore because there are students from other study backgrounds (besides economics) as well.--Sky Walker 14:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- A good point, and one I should have noticed when Luna brought it up. I've fixed that one.--Mike Selinker 19:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- Rename all--BlackJack | talk page 14:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename all per nom. --Cswrye 16:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename all (with AIESEC alteration) per nomination. -- Naraht 18:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:A.C. Siena
Category:A.C. Siena (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, category for an Italian football team. Only article in the category is the football team. Bigdottawa 04:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, And its players are there too. Plenty of precedent for this.--Mike Selinker 05:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep. As Mike says, there is precedent. To delete this would set a dangerous counter-precedent. All articles about the club's history, grounds, players, officials, famous matches, etc. could go into the category. --BlackJack | talk page 14:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep There are probably articles about some of the club's managers too, and if there aren't there will be some time soon. Choalbaton 21:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
(AHL) team categories
- Category:Moncton Hawks (AHL) to Category:Moncton Hawks
- Category:Moncton Hawks (AHL) players to Category:Moncton Hawks players
- Category:Utah Grizzlies (AHL) players to Category:Utah Grizzlies players
Rename In the case of the Utah Grizzlies, no other franchises which were merged into the AHL from the IHL carry the (AHL) designation in the categories of their current incarnations. (see Category:Grand Rapids Griffins (IHL) players vs. Category:Grand Rapids Griffins players) This change should be made simply for continuity reasons. As far as the Moncton Hawks situation goes, I have no idea why there is an (AHL) designation in its category names. Apparently, there have been other teams in history named the Moncton Hawks, but the others were all low-level senior league teams in the 1940s and 50s which are not mentioned anywhere I can find on Wikipedia. In fact, the main page Moncton Hawks redirects to Moncton Hawks (AHL). It's just unnecessary, and should be changed. Skudrafan1 04:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. -- JamesTeterenko 04:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename all per nom. BoojiBoy 14:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rename all as per nom. There is no need for the designation unless there is another team with the same name, including one in a different sport. Was one of the earlier Moncton Hawks clubs a predecessor of the current one? Quite often a club is reformed under an original name or it merges with another and then reverts back to the original name. --BlackJack | talk page 14:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Ellen (TV series) guest stars
Category:Ellen (TV series) guest stars (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, not a noteworthy facet of these actors' careers, as far as I can tell. Could easily be covered at List of Ellen episodes, as the show is completed and the list will not change. -- nae'blis 03:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, "x guest stars" categories are rarely a good idea. Recury 13:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above users' comments. Osomec 13:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Best way to present this info would be direct link to IMDb which usually has an episode and guests list per TV series. Pointless to have it as a category. No added value at all. --BlackJack | talk page 14:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Choalbaton 21:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete; I'd also be in favour of killing the entire lot of similar categories by television show. Bearcat 00:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Category:Australian orchids
Category:Australian orchids to Category:Orchids of Australia
- Rename, all other Australian flora and fauna subcats are X of Australia. Peta 03:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Luxembourgian duchesses
Category:Luxembourgian duchesses (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Delete, This category was populated with Grand Duchesses of Luxembourg, who are not just Duchesses. Since the Grand Duchesses in question were already categorized under another applicable Luxembourg royal category, there is no need to maintain or rename this category. Instead it should just be deleted. Charles 02:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Tentative delete as it seems to be duplication thus far and has no potential in its own right. --BlackJack | talk page 14:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
