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)[reply]

I'd rename:

I guess I find it hard to feel too sorry for Talrias.--Mike Selinker 18:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
Delete, or create Category:Academy Awards winners by ethnicity. -- ProveIt (talk) 18:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral, This category has a history of previous deletions. Arual 17:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]

Category:Conspiracy theorists

Category:Conspiracy theorists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Please compare:

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)[reply]

  • Delete Pjacobi 11:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as it will lead to POV inclusions --BlackJack | talk page 14:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Baseball,Baby! ballsstrikes 16:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Changing this Burning Man category to match most others in category:Wikipedians by subculture.--Mike Selinker 05:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians by organization

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)[reply]

(AHL) team categories

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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
