January 11

[edit]

Category:RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta presenters

[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The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn - Issue fixed, No need to let this continue. –Davey2010Talk 23:12, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

:Nominator's rationale: Pointless category all for one notable person. –Davey2010Talk 22:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC) [reply]

  • @Davey2010: Adding a page to a list does not justify its removal from a category. So no, that would not make this category technically empty. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:37, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've not removed anything from the category - I've simply added presenter to the article, Inregards to the "technically empty" thing... well we'll have to agree to disagree but I personally still think the category is pointless for one article, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 22:46, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (as creator). I dunnno why I didn't populate this properly when I created it, but 5 minutes work now got it up to 10 articles. Note that WP:SMALLCAT does not apply to categories which have realistic potential for growth. It's a pity that the nominator @Davey2010 didn't take 60 seconds to see whether this one had realistic potential for growth. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:44, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • BrownHairedGirl - Incase it's not apparently obvious I have no knowledge at all with categories so you not doing whatever it is you done to it is not my problem, If you don't want editors nominating your creations in good faith then how about double-checking these things before making them live!, Withdrawn anyway. –Davey2010Talk 22:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nothing odd about it, "If you have no knowledge at all with categories and don't want to spend a few minutes reading up on them, why launch straight into a deletion nomination? The only thing that's very odd is you not viewing your creations AFTER you've created them, Maybe because I didn't realise there was an error with it ?" ... Maybe I took the category at face value as anyone would have done?, I don't work with cats so have no interest in doing BEFORE and all that - I saw one entry and figured CFD was obviously for the best, As I said if you don't want your stuff nominated then make sure they're all okay beforehand, Have a great day. –Davey2010Talk 23:10, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Argentine governors

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Governors of provinces of Argentina, without prejudice against any future nomination to consider alternative naming conventions. -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:11, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per Provinces of Argentina, and to clarify that this is about provincial governance rather than colonial era. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:36, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:44, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous category per WP:OCEPON. Only album articles which are appropriately categorized without need of this as a parent. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:33, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As always, a musician does not automatically get an eponymous category just because she has a WP:BLP and an "albums by" category — eponymous categories only get created for people who have a lot of spinoff content that needs person-related categorization beyond the standard categorization schemes that every musician already has. For example, Category:Madonna (entertainer) has eight subcategories, not just one for her albums, and 31 other articles besides her BLP that are related to her in ways that wouldn't fit any of the standard categories.

The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: One entry - a subcategory. Hard to see why we would want to categorise Youth organizations by date of disestablishment. Rathfelder (talk) 20:07, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Growth media

[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 Category:Growth media to Category:Cell culture media. Pinging the participants to do any necessary cleanup: @Ajpolino, Soupvector, and SmokeyJoe. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:08, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT. There is no apparent difference between the two. The pages in both categories could be in either. Ajpolino (talk) 19:36, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - growth media include microbiological media, but the reverse is not true; growth media include media for sustaining mammalian cells lines, for example, that do not fall under microbiological media. — soupvector (talk) 05:19, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Some of the growth media listed are agars used for isolating organisms, not supporting growth. The category is therefore at least misnamed. Not sure I agree with soupvector, that cell lines are not "microbiological". If there are members in Category:Microbiological media are are specifically for supporting tissue growth (or stasis) as opposed to growth of single cells, then they should be moved out to a new category. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:22, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose While some cell lines might be used for some microbiological applications, many others are used for cell biology - so "microbiological" would not be inclusive of "cell lines" (they simply overlap); RPMI is one example of this (I have used this in my lab almost exclusively for growing human lymphocytes - not for microbiology). Perhaps SmokeyJoe could point out (or just fix) those listed pages that are not growth media (and therefore should have the "growth media" category link removed); I do see some agars that are supplemented with nutrients (making them both growth media and microbiological media). — soupvector (talk) 02:54, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Microbiology contains Category:Microbiological media. For microbes.
Category:Cell culture contains Category:Cell culture media. For cell culture, cells from multicellular organisms, insects to humans.
i.e. Rename Category:Growth media to Category:Cell culture media. Clean up membership, eg New York City Agar belongs under Category:Microbiology not under Category:Cell culture. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:16, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[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: merge all per revised nomination, without prejudice to re-creating any of them if and when there are more than 5 articles to put in them. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:50, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge to parent categories per WP:SMALLCAT, only 1-3 articles in each of these categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:33, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Civic youth organizations

[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: disperse among Category:Political youth organizations and possibly other categories in the tree of Category:Youth organizations. @Rathfelder: would you want to go ahead dispersing and could you ping me when the category is empty? (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:27, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Poorly defined. Most of the entries related to programs run by the American Legion which didn't appear to be organisations at all and I've put them in that category. The distinction between this and Political youth organizations seems a bit subjective Rathfelder (talk) 11:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • IIRC I had created this to host Otpor and similar. These were NGOs that were not political as in party-affiliated, just generally civic-minded. If you have to merge it somewhere, I suppose the political youth organisations category is a better destination than the generic one. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 17:15, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:40, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Speedy deletion contested. CfD seemed appropriate. See discussion on talk page. Empty category on an editing area "recent_years"_and_other_years? discussed at a recent RfC and, in my reading, deemed surplus to requirements. Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:39, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete, without prejudice to recreation if and when it can contain more than 3 pages. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:48, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT; better as a list or navbox Joeyconnick (talk) 06:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know - when I checked the category this morning, it was empty at the time. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:01, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
