Category:LGBT musicians by nationality[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: Keep. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:36, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:LGBT musicians by nationality to Category:LGBT musicians by country
Nominator's rationale: Rename. in line with Category:LGBT comedians by country, Category:LGBT politicians by country, Category:LGBT sportspeople by country, Category:LGBT writers by country. 86.40.97.51 (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – subcat of Category:Musicians by nationality. It is the 'by country' ones which should be renamed, and their contents should be renamed to use the standard 'fooian' rather than 'from foo'. Occuli (talk) 00:04, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Fruits of Angola[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: Delete, with no prejudice against creating a category called Category:Fruits endemic to Angola should artices for such a category be created. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:49, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Fruits of Angola (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. not likely to be further populated, poor demarcation (fruit does not originate from within a political boundary - Fruits of Northern Ireland, Fruits of Andorra anyone???) and does not have any other similar categories to keep it company. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:49, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Categories like this should be discouraged. (I've noticed a lot of "Trees of (Mexican state)" categories too, ugh.) Flora/fauna of X should be lists, not categories, unless they're endemic-species-by-nation, in which case a cat is appropriate. This isn't. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:04, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maintain - The purpose of this category (and similar) is to sort fruits whose origin is related to the country. Angola has several fruit whose origins are only Angola and many of them found only in the country. The fact that there are no articles in the desired amount, it's not a reason to delete the category. Oskulo (talk) 19:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or rename to Category:Fruits endemic to Angola if they are truly endemic species, which would be a defining characteristic. --Neutralitytalk 01:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Albums recorded by city[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: Speedy rename C2C. Note that quite a few of these categories and articles probably don't need the ", state" per WP:COMMONNAME/WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but that's another discussion for another time. The Bushranger One ping only 21:06, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Albums recorded in Chicago to Category:Albums recorded in Chicago, Illinois
Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the categorization scheme of subcategories within Category:Chicago, Illinois and as appropriate for the respective 'albums recorded by city' subcats below. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 20:07, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Internet personalities by country[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. Timrollpickering (talk) 00:18, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Internet personalities by country to Category:Internet personalities by nationality
Nominator's rationale: This is a category that falls in between tree naming standards. As it currently stands, it fits the tree at Category:Internet by country, but I believe it should follow the naming pattern at Category:People by nationality, which it is also a subcat of, and which appears to be the more "prominent" category.

Propose merging Category:American musicians of Scottish descent to Category:American people of Scottish descent and Category:American musicians of British descent
Nominator's rationale: Merge. As per rationale in nomination immediately below. Mayumashu (talk) 17:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:American musicians of English descent to Category:American people of English descent and Category:American musicians of British descent (this later one too should eventually be upmerged)
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Too fine a distinction - WP:OC. Category:American people of English descent by occupation is no longer a category tree - this is the only member left of it. Mayumashu (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Listifcation can take place through the normal processes if desired. The Bushranger One ping only 06:50, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Cruise lines serving les Saintes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete but listify. This is far too like a performance by performer category. The one cruiseline that I checked had not category for any other place visited. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletion discussions. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:41, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. We don't categorize cruise lines or airlines by the regions they service. Generally we categorize them by where they are headquartered. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Airports in les Saintes to Category:Transport in les Saintes
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Single member category with little hop of expansion, which will adequately be included in its parent. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Former Los Angeles Dodgers minor league affiliates to Category:Los Angeles Dodgers minor league affiliates
Propose merging Category:Former Pittsburgh Pirates minor league affiliates to Category:Pittsburgh Pirates minor league affiliates
Rationalle: These 2 categories seem to have been missed in the previous discussion, but the same reasoning seems to apply. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:48, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge -- we do not like "former" categories: much precedent on this. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:06, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television episodes featuring gynoids (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. "Features a gynoid" is not a genre. There is a list of fictional gynoids that serves adequately to tie these disparate TV episodes together. 70.226.161.119 (talk) 06:36, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2003 Le Mans Series season (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Category:Bamako Capital District (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is currently redundant to Category:Bamako, since the city and capital district are co-extensive. Bamako Capital District redirects to Bamako. The category contains only Category:Bamako and Bamako. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maputo City Province (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is currently redundant to Category:Maputo, since the city and the province are co-extensive. Maputo City Province redirects to Maputo.
