Propose renaming:
...and merging:
Nominator's rationale: Arkansas State University changed its nickname from "Indians" to "Red Wolves" in 2008, as per this source among others. Also see the athletic department's website. Strikehold (talk) 23:33, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- For alumni categories, alumni of a college that amalgamated or was renamed are treated as alumni of the successor. The problem here is similar. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Santiago, Chile. Consensus here was in agreement that the current name of the category was ambiguous, but did not agree on the proposed rename. — ξxplicit 00:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Santiago to Category:Santiago (city), Chile
Nominator's rationale: Santiago needs dismabiguation, both for the kind of place it is and its location. Am willing to speedy rename sub-cats piecemeal should this nom. succeed. Mayumashu (talk) 19:12, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. — ξxplicit 00:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Power stations in the West Midlands to Category:Power stations in the West Midlands (region)
Nominator's rationale: Rename to clarify that its scope is the West Midlands (region) rather than the West Midlands (county), adding the "(region)" disambiguator per convention of Category:West Midlands (region). BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as per nom. MilborneOne (talk) 19:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I have checked the list. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:29, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as per nom and per User:Peterkingiron's (double?) check. Utterly ambiguous as it has been named. Mayumashu (talk) 02:05, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

West Midlands (county)[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename all. — ξxplicit 00:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
48 categories: foo West Midlands → foo West Midlands (county)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. England has a county and a region which share the same name, leading to lots of scope for confusion. The parent categories are logically named:
West Midlands (region)→Category:West Midlands (region) and West Midlands (county)→Category:West Midlands (county).
Most of the sub-cats of the region use the "(region)" disambiguator, and the others are tagged for renaming, but most of the sub-cats of Category:West Midlands (county) do not use the disambiguator. This mass renaming adds the disambiguator to all (or I hope all!) of the sub-cats, for consistency and for clarity. The current ambiguity leads to good-faith editors making the reasonable mistake of thinking these ambiguously named category refer to the region, hence the need for corrections like these: [1], [2].
I have checked that all these categories do indeed apply to the county rather than to the region, and have disambiguated some categs such as Category:Local government in the West Midlands. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:27, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Double (band) songs. Courcelles (talk) 05:50, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Double songs to Category:Doublé songs
Nominator's rationale: Per Double (band)/Doublé. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:37, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Cantonments and military bases of Pakistan into Category:Military facilities of Pakistan.
Nominator's rationale: The former is redundant and both are categorised under Category:Military facilities by country.

Propose renaming Category:Ogg files to Category:Multimedia files
Nominator's rationale: Ogg is not a well known file extension. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the only thing in the category is OGG files, there are no images, no videos, no animated GIFs, etc. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 04:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per 76.66.195.196. The current name accurately describes the contents of the category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:40, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Way back when I created the category it was to contain only .ogg file format files, and I see it still contains only those. Why change what's working? //Halibutt 13:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. — ξxplicit 00:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:PAS politicians to Category:Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party politicians
Nominator's rationale: Rename to expand abbreviation and match the main article name. Darwinek (talk) 09:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No objection, as creator. We could do the same for everything in Category:Malaysian politicians by party, except UMNO which I think should stay UMNO because the full name is almost never used. --Mkativerata (talk) 09:18, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You are right. Should we make a batch nomination then? - Darwinek (talk) 12:25, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a list for batch nomination. Anyone please feel free to amend the new names. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:30, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the list. I have nominated the rest of them at 26 June's CFD listing. - Darwinek (talk) 21:28, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. — ξxplicit 00:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Villages in Vermont to Category:Incorporated villages in Vermont
Nominator's rationale: Villages in Vermont can be incorporated or unincorporated. The 37 incorporated villages in Vermont are located in this category, and unincorporated villages are located in Category:Unincorporated communities in Vermont and Category:Census-designated places in Vermont; this category's name should reflect that it contains only the incorporated villages.
