Category:People on the autistic spectrum

[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. I did not see an effort to rename the article as suggested below, so this should move forward. If someone later decides to get the article renamed we can reconsider this name. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:41, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I personally have never heard it referred to as the "autistic spectrum", and while that isn't grounds for a rename, our article sits at autism spectrum. Apart from consistency in naming, if you look at the Google hits for the two we have 2.8 million for "Autism Spectrum" and about 216,000 for "Autistic Spectrum". Further, the outcome of this discussion should apply to Category:Fictional characters on the autistic spectrum‎, but not to Category:Autistic savants. kelapstick(bainuu) 11:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are currently only Roman Catholic bishops in the Bishops of Mexico tree so it is not meaningful to have two categories. Possible alternatives: downmerge instead of upmerge, or upmerge and rename back into Roman Catholic. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bishops of Jamaica

[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:Anglican bishops in Jamaica. There is a consensus to rename, but the issue in choosing in/of is not clear. Based on the suggestion below that Category:Bishops in Jamaica be the parent, if I read the replies correctly, it should follow that name. If there is a substantial objection to my logic we can have a new nomination to only discuss the two letters. This rename fixes the more important larger problem. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:34, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per main article these are Anglican bishops, in contrast to Roman Catholic bishops in Jamaica who are in another category. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:31, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I presume that the category is named "of Jamaica" because Jamaica is not only a country but also the Anglican diocese. Personally I don't have a clear preference for either "of Jamaica" or "in Jamaica". Marcocapelle (talk) 16:54, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:43, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Pretzel knot is a vague term that can mean a type of rope knot or bracelet knot, a soft pretzel with garlic, or a mathematical concept. Category:Fixed points (mathematics) shows an example of this approach. (Alternatively, we could use Category:Pretzel links since the main article, pretzel link, is much less ambiguous term but this is a subcategory of tree with a clear naming convention: Category:Knots and links.)
