The result of the discussion was: Rename. Dana boomer (talk) 02:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Perimeter Security to Category:Perimeter security
Nominator's rationale: per convention -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Do we even need this? Clearly if kept it should not have Category:Law enforcement equipment as a parent in my mind. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:25, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I am happy with deletion. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:30, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Perimeter security can be somewhat ambiguous since even landscaping and cameras affect this. The perimeter security for the United States, includes dogs, cameras, motion sensors, ships, cars, ATVs, inspection stations, RADAR, robots and who knows what else. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:55, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • rename per nom to fix capitalization. A perfectly legitimate category for an associated set of articles. Serves the purpose of WP navigation to articles, which is the purpose of categories. Hmains (talk) 02:17, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Rename to address capitalization and group by this defining common characteristic. Alansohn (talk) 04:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • So this is a defining characteristic for robots and metal bars? And if you are asking, yes, there are at least two three robots on duty. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:43, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • rename, if kept -- However, I do not know if we need it. Peterkingiron (talk) 00:10, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Rename. The concept do not have clearly defined borders, ironically enough. But it's in wide use. The common characteristic of the elements is not a property of the objects but a property of their use. EverGreg (talk) 09:54, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as suggested, but don't delete. I agree with EverGreg. As an example, guard dog probably qualifies for the category, but dog doesn't. Tijfo098 (talk) 11:42, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:BET Award winners (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete -- I gather listifying is not needed. This is what we always do with award categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 00:13, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Contemporary jazz albums[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Dana boomer (talk) 02:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Contemporary jazz albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete; nebulous and ill- or un-defined categorization, e.g. are these (contemporary jazz) albums, or contemporary (jazz albums)? See WP:CFD#Category:Contemporary_jazz_musicians from Sept 2010 (if I had seen this category at the time, I would have included it in that earlier discussion). Contemporary jazz is now a disambig. page, as per WT:JAZZ discussion. All articles in this category already fall within (at least) another, better-named subcategory of Category:Jazz albums. Gyrofrog (talk) 16:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The term could mean a number of things so the category has no clearly defined inclusion criteria. Jafeluv (talk) 16:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete in line wth previous discussion on the name ambiguity. AllyD (talk) 08:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge both to Category:Comparative politics. Ruslik_Zero 20:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Political comparison and Category:Political analogies
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Two very similar categories. Proposed new title is Comparative politics to match main article of both. Tijfo098 (talk) 15:45, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sri Sumangala College (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Just merged the articles in this category together into a single article Sri Sumangala College. Potential for more articles is low. AIRcorn (talk) 10:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:R&B and soul musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania[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:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 November 11. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:R&B and soul musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Category:Musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Category:American rhythm and blues musicians and Category:American soul musicians
Nominator's rationale: 1) R&B (genre), 2) soul (genre), 3) musicians (occupation), 4) Pennsylvania (state), 5) Philadelphia (city). Overcategorization, or, more accurately, complete overkill. There's need to narrow down categories this much. — ξxplicit 05:50, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Record sonatas by George Frideric Handel[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 delete: creator has requested deletion and replacement now exists. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Record sonatas by George Frideric Handel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: I made a mistake when creating this page today. The title should have been "Recorder" (not "Record"). "Record sonatas by George Frideric Handel" makes no sense, so a redirect is not applicable. The category is empty, and I have created the Category:Recorder sonatas by George Frideric Handel replacement category. Apologies for getting it wrong.  HWV258.  02:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
