January 10[edit]

Category:Central African Republic footballers[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category or categories above. 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.

The result of the discussion was rename. Kbdank71 15:08, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Central African Republic footballers to Category:Central African footballers

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Although the term Central African can be ambiguous, it is the proper demonym for people from the Central African Republic, and all other subcategories of Category:Central African people use this formatting, not the full name. I can't find any categories that use "Central African" in the non-Central African Republic sense, with the exception of Category:Central African War. Snocrates 23:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom and the fact that Central African footballers would be consistant with the other football categories eg. Category:English footballers. Kyriakos (talk) 03:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Burials at St. Raymond's Cemetery (Bronx)[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category or categories above. 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.

The result of the discussion was delete. By a simple vote count, there is not a consensus to delete. In actually reading comments and taking into account the possibility of socks to swing the vote, the rough consensus here is clear. As pointed out, the place for this information is in the article, not a category. The question of whether or not this is even defining was not sufficiently answered by those wishing to keep. Kbdank71 15:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location of burial is rarely, if ever, defining. This cemetery doesn't even seem to have an article, so being buried there is certainly not a defining characteristic of these people. None of the bios I have looked at mention this cemetery. LeSnail (talk) 23:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree that final resting place is in most cases not defining. Otto4711 (talk) 00:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is my category. Couple of points related to what's written above. (1) The idea for creating this category came to me from similarly-named categories that already existed on Wikipedia, such as "Burials at Arlington National Cemetery" and "Burials at Green-Wood Cemetery" and "Burials at Gate of Heaven Cemetery" and "Burials at Woodlawn Cemetery (The Bronx)." Even the explorer Francis Drake is listed in the category "Burial at sea." (2) A number of St. Ray's bios DO mention internment in the cemetery, such as those of Billie Holiday and Mary Mallon (Typhoid Mary), and those comments did not come from me. (3) Wikipedia DOES have an article on St. Raymond's, again, not of my doing. I'd like to keep these "Burials at . . . " categories. They are very handy for cemetery research. Thanks for your time. BobJones77 —Preceding unsigned comment added by BobJones77 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That other categories on burial places may exist has no bearing on whether this one should. It's likely that those categories are not defining of their members also. If anyone actually researches who's buried where, a list article would serve them better than a category would. Otto4711 (talk) 02:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If the category is included in an article and there is no obvious reason mentioned in the article for that category, then the category should be removed from the article. How many articles currently in this category really belong? Would we need the category after a cleanup? Vegaswikian (talk) 06:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. (There is an article for the cemetery.) I agree that the resting place of X should be mentioned (and sourced - eg from here) in the article for X if X is to be put in the category. We have plenty of categories which are not in any way defining (eg year of birth, death, 'from' categories, nationality categories, alumni categories) and this is a nice factual unambiguous one. (We have had cfds before on place of death cats, eg here.) -- roundhouse0 (talk) 10:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And again, the fact that any other category exists has no bearing on whether this one should. We have X so why not Y is a very poor argument. Otto4711 (talk) 17:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I would deny your statement that year of birth, death, and nationality categories are not defining. If I were giving a very brief summary of who Albert Einstein was, for instance, I would include that he was born in 1879, that he died in 1955, that he was German, that he was Jewish, that he lived in the US, that he was a physicist, and that he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Those are the things I would use to define who he was. I would not mention where he was buried. LeSnail (talk) 19:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This brief obituary for James Ganly does mention where he was buried (St. Raymond's Cemetery (Bronx)). The article for Albert Einstein says he was cremated. It is not unusual for an obituary to mention manner and/or place of burial. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 01:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It may be of use in specific searches Travtim^(Talk) 16:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You don't need a category to do searches. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would also like to direct people to this discussion, which I think clarified consensus on what it takes for a characteristic to be defining and worth categorizing by. LeSnail (talk) 19:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom - these are often a matter of happenstance of where the person died or what his/her relatives decided to do with the body. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I was going to add a listify, but Saint Raymond's Cemetery, Bronx already has a list. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A person's resting place is, of course, a defining feature. This piece of information is just as important as a person's birth place or any other biographical detail that should be included in a wikipedia entry. This category is also crucial information for those who are interested in cemetery research. It should be included. Rubylashs (talk) 08:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment1 This person has made no edits, except to this nomination.
- Comment2 No one is saying that this information should not be included in articles, the matter at hand is whether is it should be used as a basis for categorization. LeSnail (talk) 03:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Part of a useful, established, defining scheme.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree; similar cemetery categories appear to have been established for years now; the precedent is set. -- JamesGothMog13 (talk)

Consensus can change. Otto4711 (talk) 14:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, with the added observation that this is a subject that is properly dealt with in a single article, as to my knowledge, there is not enough to say about any one particular Star Wars rank (except Jedi Knight, if that is even considered a military rank) to merit a separate article.

The result of the discussion was merge. Kbdank71 15:08, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Discontinued Windows software made by Microsoft to Category:Discontinued Microsoft software

Nominator's rationale: merge:Nearly all discontinued Microsoft software belongs in both categories. There is little reason to put Windows software lower down in the category heirarchy. Also, Category:Discontinued Windows software made by Microsoft currently only contains one article, so this merge would be much easier than moving all appropriate articles from Category:Discontinued Microsoft software - Josh (talk | contribs) 22:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Voluntary organisations[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category or categories above. 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.

The result of the discussion was merge to Category:Organizations. Kbdank71 15:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Proposing for discussion; consider merging to Category:Organizations. The main problem with this category is that it is basically a categorization by name, and not even that. The category definition includes two to three different definitions: "Voluntary organizations are defined, by some, as organizations which are mainly run by volunteers, or which rely on volunteers in order to carry out significant portions of their work. Others define them as organizations which are non-statutory and independent of state control, and which do not distribute profits for private gain. Often voluntary organizations are also charities. See also: Category:Non-profit organizations and Category:Philanthropic organizations.

My general concern: Are there one or more specific kinds of entity that this category is capturing and if so, how can we name the category in a way that clearly captures that? Specific concerns:

The category head article redirects to "voluntary association" which is more a philosophical concept than a type of organization. It can have specific legal meanings, but I'm not sure if any of them are useful as categories for organizations.
On the first definition ("run by ... or rely on volunteers"), many, many organizations use volunteers; I am not convinced it is a defining attribute. This would include churches, PTAs, public libraries, political parties, schools, bookstores -- heck, pretty much everything.
The second definition ("non-statutory and independent of state control") basically overlaps with "non-profit organizations" and "non-governmental organizations".
Please note that this is distinct from organizations (like the Peace Corps or Habitat for Humanity whose activity is to coordinate volunteers; those are "volunteer organizations"; see, e.g., Category:International volunteer organizations. (There may be a better way to phrase that one, too.)
Are there any culture-specific usages to be aware of? I think it is a phrase more in England; if so, is there any terminology that would capture that meaning that wouldn't be ambiguous?

My general assessment from looking at the organizations included is that they are basically all non-profit organizations that could be merged to that category; most of them also include some subject organization already (Category:Organizations by subject) which would pick up any particular charitable purposes (e.g., healthcare, poverty relief). Other thoughts?

Lquilter (talk) 19:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Would it be better to layout how to reorganize this mess before doing individual categories? Vegaswikian (talk) 21:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the subcategories of this one? I'm not tackling all of Category:Organizations or the Non-profit orgs/Charities/NGOs problem. This one seemed a bit more one-off than the others, and the category trees aren't extremely built up in this one yet. --Lquilter (talk) 22:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK. So we still will have the bigger mess to cleanup. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for the meaning time. At WP:ORG they are working on the whole categorization of orgs, lets give them a chance to do their thing without adding new changes. This can be reviewed at a later time. Travtim^(Talk) 16:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not that I have noticed. Are you sure about this being discussed at WP:ORG? Can you provide a specific pointer to the discussion? Vegaswikian (talk) 19:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - He may mean WP:ORGZ which is the Organizations WikiProject. I've been the major person working on these lately, and this nom is part of that work. Relevant discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Organizations/Taskforce-Categorization and Category_talk:Organizations. --Lquilter (talk) 21:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom - apart from the army in some countries and taxpayers in all, most organizations are volunatary. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If merging, the target should rather be Category:Non-profit organisations - there would be an unnecessary loss of info in merging this to the top cat. However, I would prefer keep and repurpose with the emphasis on volunteers, as follows:

"Voluntary organizations are defined, for the purpose of this category, as organizations which are mainly run by volunteers, or which rely on volunteers in order to carry out significant portions of their work. For organizations which are non-statutory and independent of state control, and which do not distribute profits for private gain, please use Category:Non-profit organizations. See also Category:Philanthropic organizations [and Category:Charities].

It may be best to leave out Charities, as there was something approaching consensus to abolish this at CFD Dec 31.- Fayenatic (talk) 20:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Category:Volunteer organizations to clarify intent. I completely agree with Fayenatic. --Eliyak T·C 01:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My concern is that "volunteer organizations" as fayenatic defines it (orgs run by volunteers) is different from the use at "international volunteer organizations" (orgs that coordinate volunteers, like the peace corps). If we go this route (I'm not personally convinced that it's a defining feature to be run by some random percentage of volunteers) then I'd suggest "Category:Volunteer-run organizations". --Lquilter (talk) 03:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Jamaican-American singers to Category:Jamaican American musicians

Suggest merging Category:Jamaican-American singer-songwriters to Category:Jamaican American musicians

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAT by ethnicity. There are barely three pages in each of these three categories. Funk Junkie (talk) 21:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all unnecessary ethnic/race category but no doubt the retention of some of these categories leads others to create more of them when we should delete the lot of them, but alas that's a one-by-one chore. Here, too, there is an intersection between the race/ethnicity and an occupation without any indication that Jamaican American musicians perform differently than non-Jamaican Americans.

Propose renaming Category:Laguna to Category:Laguna (province)

Nominator's rationale: Rename for consistency. The article is at Laguna (province) so the category and its sub's nominated below should be as well. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating to rename:

Category:Municipalities of Laguna (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Municipalities of Laguna (province)
Category:People from Laguna (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:People from Laguna (province)
Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question Is there a separate Laguna place that needs a category? If there's another Laguna that needs categorization, I'll support a rename to Category:Laguna, Philippines, but if there's no other place that'll need categorization (the Laguna dab page says this is the only character with the name of "Laguna" per se), I'd rather leave it where it is now. --Howard the Duck 12:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not at present, but if we are so sure that Laguna is the place to put the category, the article should be renamed accordingly. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd recommend not to do that since Laguna should be a dab page. However, since it makes no sense to create a dab page for categories then I think the present setup for Category:Laguna referring to the Philippine province would be fine, unless another place with a "Laguna" (without other words) name crops up. --Howard the Duck 03:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. I would really prefer to see Category:Laguna, Philippines used. However this gets into the whole issue of place names which is always a hot topic. The issue for categories should be what is the best choice since there is no disambiguation nor should there be. Using the parens is not the best choice, but currently may be the only choice that would get consensus. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:University of Alaska Fairbanks people, convention of Category:People by university or college in the United States. -- Prove It ^(talk) 15:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for vagueness. What does "X people" mean? Full-time students? Alumni? Former students who didn't graduate? Professors? Trustees? Donors? Recipients of honorary degrees? People who once took a summer class there? The narrower the group to include, the more specific the name should be. The broader it is, the less point there is to having a special category. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as is - the present title is better grammar. Photography is not an adjective and the present title is bnetter than "photgraphic pioneers". this is a well-populated category, so that del;etion on the grounds that "pioneer" cannot be defined precisely seems unjustified.

Category:Justices of the Court of Appeal to Category:Justices of the Court of Final Appeal (Hong Kong)

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Names could use a disambiguating term added. For #1&2, the current names are the "official" names, which is why I've suggested adding "Hong Kong" in parentheses instead of adding "of Hong Kong" to the name. For #3, although there is a "Court of Appeal" in Hong Kong that is lower than the Final Court of Appeal and a Category:Court of Appeal (Hong Kong), the category has been used and defined to categorize judges of the Final Court of Appeal, and so should be renamed. I have looked at every article in #3 and have confirmed that they are all justices of the Court of Final Appeal, not the Court of Appeal. Snocrates 01:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Federal Court of Appeal (Canada) which lists a "Chief Justice". --Lquilter (talk) 19:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The title for this position is "Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Appeal"; see HERE. The Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Canada is known as the "Chief Justice of the Federal Court"; see HERE. The Chief Justice on the Supreme Court is the "Chief Justice of Canada"; see HERE. Chief Justices exist on provincial courts too, but they are either called "Chief Justice of PROVINCE NAME" or "Chief Justice of HIGHEST PROVINCIAL COURT NAME", usually the latter.

Suggest merging Category:Education in Byblos to Category:Education in Lebanon

Nominator's rationale: Merge, premature to split the parent by city for this 1 article category. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I agree with the nominator that this category should be merged with Category:Education in Lebanon due to it's small size. Kyriakos (talk) 00:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Yes, it is small, but I'm sure it has room for growth, and it hasn't even been around for very long. Also, the parent is already split by city, as we have Category:Education in Beirut. LeSnail (talk) 02:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete not needed for 1 article here; found this in the orphanage so parent cats need to be found if kept. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
