January 29

[edit]

Category:Multimedia University Engineering Society Overseas Research Programme

[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. The Bushranger One ping only 00:43, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This is one program apparently run by the university. The parent category should be named the same as the university. Probably should be a speedy, but just in case here for a full discussion. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:07, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. The Bushranger One ping only 00:44, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small community with just 4 entries ...William 22:14, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Relisting comment: I am sorry to pull this one out of the backlog, but a relist seems the only option here

The result of the discussion was: merge all (and already done). The Bushranger One ping only 00:46, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Merged with Category:Manchester Metrolink stations on the East Didsbury – Rochdale line. When the category was created it was not known that the line would terminate at East Didsbury. This category move reflects the new line that opened last year. Del♉sion23 (talk) 22:10, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Merged into Category:Manchester Metrolink stations on the East Didsbury – Rochdale line. The line has extended north to Rochdale and south to East Didsbury. Del♉sion23 (talk) 22:06, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Merged into Category:Manchester Metrolink stations on the Bury–Ashton-under-Lyne line. Since the category was created the new line has opened and it terminates at Bury, not Manchester. Del♉sion23 (talk) 21:52, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Merged into Category:Manchester Metrolink stations on the Bury–Ashton-under-Lyne line as the line has now extended to Ashton. Del♉sion23 (talk) 21:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters with radiation abilities

[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. The Bushranger One ping only 00:46, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: An IP requested renaming/merging this category and Category:Fictional characters with nuclear abilities, but did so at RM. As such, this is a procedural listing and I am neutral on the question. The IP's rationale is on the talk page of this category.

I noticed that the category is effectively empty; only some user and Wikipedia pages that mirror RM list it, and those are likely to be removed now that the RM is closed. I considered tagging this for C1, but thought I'd just let this run its course. BDD (talk) 19:42, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A category must have been empty for some days before being deleted, that's why I did not request that immediately. As it was, it just listed a handful of characters already in the nuclear category, and Superman and related characters (with the rationale that they have survived a nuclear attack; but that was not for a character-defining power, but just because they are nigh-invulnerable). Cambalachero (talk) 20:18, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The category is now officially empty. Speedy deletion should be doable as of 2 February. --BDD (talk) 00:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Publications by company

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: merge. The Bushranger One ping only 00:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't see any reason why there should a category for "publications by company" under "publications by publisher". As far as I can see, a company that publishes is a publisher... Propose to upmerge this category to Category:Publications by publisher, leaving a soft redirect. Randykitty (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge per nominator. These are container categories whose subcats mostly follow the same convention, so this should probably be propagated through the entire subtree. Mangoe (talk) 21:19, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Community settlements in Israel

[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 to Category:Community settlements (Israel). The debate evidently concludes the parenthetical disambiguator is needed, and the article has been stable at the equivalent title. -Splash - tk 13:12, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This move brings the title in line with the main article (Community settlement) and also resolves an NPOV issue, as some community settlements are in the West Bank, and therefore cannot be described as "in Israel". Number 57 13:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Philosophy disambiguation

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: delete. The Bushranger One ping only 00:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Disambiguation pages (e.g. Induction) are just for linking to similarly named topics. The dab pages themselves are not about any particular topic. If Wikiproject Philosophy have an interest in a particular dab page then it can be tagged on its talk page and hence placed in Category:Disambig-Class Philosophy articles. We don't need this category as well.
