Category:Assyrian bishops to Category:Bishops of the Assyrian Church of the East

Rename, the current name could refer to a bishop in any church who happens to be Assyrian. However, the description and use of the category indicate that it's only for bishops of the Assyrian Church of the East, so the name ought to reflect that. Mairi 23:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename, the current title includes bishops in the Assyrian rite of the Roman Catholic Church. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 03:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Raname. Makes sense given the content. Most of the other reglions split their leaders by nationality so we have categories such as Category:German_rabbis and this rename would avoid confusion with those categories, altough a possible problem with the new title is very long category titles if this was split by religion (eg. "Iraqi bishops of the Assyrian Church of the East"). --Mark S (talk) 14:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete and block per nom, and as recreation of CFD'd article. Films by actor is a bad idea for categorization, as it does not involve a defining trait of the film and has no ascertainable limits as far as what actors should get categories. Postdlf 20:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional murder victims (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Unmanageably huge, very bad idea. This is such an omnipresent subject that Category:Fictional works that do not contain at least one murder victim would likely be smaller. --tjstrf talk 16:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This may violate the Wikipedia rule about spoilers. The category should be killed. George J. Bendo 17:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~and mark with a spoiler warning.~~ I forgot to check for the spoiler warning before I said that! — AnemoneProje
Speedy keep The category is very full and is marked with a spoiler warning already. It does not violate policy and is fully relevant. Michael 19:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The spoiler warning doesn't appear in connection with the category tag on articles, however. Postdlf 21:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification I apologize if I accidently confused any of you, but this nomination has nothing whatsoever to do with this category containing spoilers, and any arguments for or against deletion based on spoilers miss the point entirely. As I noted above, Wikipedia contains spoilers, and should continue to do so. This nomination is based on the category being absurdly large and unwieldy if properly populated. For an example of a category that was deleted for similar reasons of unwieldiness, see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 1#Category:People who carry swords. --tjstrf talk 21:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)\[reply]

Response That's not really an appropriate parallel. This refers to Category:Fictional characters by nature, and may be very telling. The category has also not proven itself to be uncontrollable. If so many apply, then this is relevant. It is not as trivial as those who wield swords. Michael 23:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply According to the debate people who carry swords was a mislabeled fictional characters category, actually. The entire fictional characters by nature classification system needs majorly reworked. We have a Category:Fictional Aces that contains people named Ace, to give one particularly absurd example. --tjstrf talk 00:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response To say this is the same would not be wrong. This is more of a defining element to certain fictional characters. I agree that some of the fictional categories are trivial, but this is relevant to characters' states of being. Michael 01:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply If the defining element of a character's existance is to have been murdered, why do we have an article on him? If they don't have equally defining characterstics like being a protagonist, thief, priest, from Star Wars, etc. then they probably are a plot object, not a character. --tjstrf talk 01:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Keep in mind that we do not eliminate articles on characters if they are murdered on a show. It is fully relevant in describing them. Michael 02:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. Their having been murdered in no way destroys their notability in itself. If their murder is the defining point of their existance, however, they will not generally need an article. I randomly picked 20 members of that category and looked to see how prominently the murder featured in their history. Not a single one of them had their murder as the defining element of their character, in other words their murder was a non-notable trait not worth defining by. One of them, Mithos Yggdrasill, doesn't actually mention his having been murdered anywhere in the article. (It so happens he is a villian killed in self defense by the heroes, suggesting some possible POV concerns with this category as well.) --tjstrf talk 05:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm thinking about all the characters in comics who have died untimeley deaths, and have "returned from the grave". (See: List of dead comic book characters .) Yet, technically, they could still would be murder victims (the Spectre, for example, or Deadman, for another). And TV series? Do we really want to start to rack up supporting character articles for characters who have been murdered? This category could go on, and on. Oh, and how about Kenny from South Park? - jc37 10:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply No one proposed creating articles for those who would fit into this category if they are minor characters. The same could be said about any category if we go under that belief. Michael 02:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, would include nearly every superhero and supervillain, for starters. (Radiant) 11:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per previous comments plus my own bitterness about being spoiled by the inclusion of the cat on an article. Heh. Otto4711 17:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Wikipedia contains spoilers. Michael 02:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, and because it's absurd for the same reasons as the repeatedly CFD'd "dead fictional characters." See this addition of the category to George McFly; if I remember correctly, Marty discovers that his dad had been a murder victim in one alternate future he travels to in the Back to the Future trilogy, which of course is erased from the timeline by further time travel shenanigans. The status of real people as murder victims is hardly as unstable, or trivial, and fictional characters should only be categorized by traits depicted as intrinsic that define the character, not by what happens to them within a narrative (Category:Fictional characters by hardships to which writers have subjected them). Listify and annotate if you really want to. Postdlf 18:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response Do we have articles on all of these people? No. Of course, a category for dead fictional characters does sound absurd, as it would bring into question whether we should have one for the living. One for murder victims describes a circumstance that brought about demise and is often highly relevant to a television series or novel series. Michael 02:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, How is this better than Category:Dead fictional characters? -- ProveIt ^(talk) 01:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply If a character perishes by murder, it is different than if the character might just die or be deceased or any other reason. This refers to certain circumstances leading to a character's death, and if you look, the category is quite full. The information applies pertinently to each of those characters.

Keep it, Category:Films by actor is a viable category. I see no reason to eliminate it. ConoscoTutto 15:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While interesting, whether a single actor was in a film is hardly a defining characteristic for the film. Films by director makes sense, as the director is considered the "author" of a film. Actor filmographies make more sense as lists. Pegship 15:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The filmography section of the Petula Clark article is better; many of her films have no article. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 18:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Provelt. The authorship of a book is a fundamentally defining trait of that book. Not true with actors and films, where it may be ridiculously reductionist (categorize Star Wars as a "Mark Hamill film," I dare you), too ambiguous (by what actor do you categorize Magnolia or Short Cuts?), or so trivial that it threatens to unleash a floodgate of categories for the complete cast of every film (Category:Ted McGinley films, anyone?). Postdlf 20:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and block per Pegship Piccadilly 00:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Pegship. The filmography section of the Petula Clark article is very good and makes the category in this case wholly redundant. roundhouse 02:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not a viable category if viewed from the side of the actor. Simply put, this means putting each actor in dozens of extra categories, one for each film they played in. (Radiant) 11:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually most films could end up in dozens of actor categories, which is even worse. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 17:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and block per this discussion, and the discussion above at category:Films by actor. I disagree with creating dozens/hundreds/thousands of actor categories plus dozens/hundreds/thousands of film categories for no good reason. Book authors is completely different than actors IMHO.

Comment - In looking these over, I am wondering if they should be in their original language (Dutch?), rather than arbitrarily translated (I've been looking over talk page arguements, as well). I don't believe we should translate proper names. - jc37 10:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
rename according to common English translation, but add parenthetical with letters and "Dutch political party" MPS 15:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If we have a look at Category:Members of SPa we are informed that it is a subcat of Category:Belgian politicians. Would it not suffice to give a full explanation of the category on the category page (the name in Flemish/French, or Dutch/French - Socialist Party - Different uses the word Dutch - the English translation, whatever else needs to be said) rather than trying to cram everything into the title? (There are several other pages in Category:Belgian politicians as well as the 7 above which are abbreviated and/or not anglicised.) Leaving it as SPa avoids the difficulty of anglicising. If we are going to change it, is the word 'Members' actually correct? (Eg the cat. of Members of the UK Labour party is much larger than that of MPs of the UK Labour Party.) Then we can consider renaming Category:Democratic Party of the Left and Democrats of the Left Party members.
So : oppose rename, propose clarification on each category page. -- roundhouse 19:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename all per nom to unfold acronyms, match parent articles, and per precedent here and here. English names are proper because this is the English language Wikipedia. If Germany is retitled to "Bundesrepublik Deutschland," let me know. Postdlf 21:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename at least per nom, perhaps including the designation "party" per Vegaswikian or the nationality per MPS. But at least get rid of the acronym. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 10:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the first one on its website seems to be sp.a so it should not be expanded (eg BMW, which is neither expanded nor translated, or NATO). If the idea is to anglicise then Volksunie is not English. (I have already voted.) roundhouse 02:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Special forces of the United States to Category:Special operations forces of the United States

Rename, Old name is not technically a category, but refers to a single organization, the US Army "Green Berets." New name is more generalized and inclusive of other special operations elements in the US military. Nathanm mn 00:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
