Propose merging Category:Companies of the People's Republic of China to Category:Companies of China
Nominator's rationale: Merge. PRC is the successor state of ROC (1911-1949), except some defunct company before 1949, all Chinese company refer to PRC company. Matthew_hk tc 22:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment By the way some cat is already empty of just the parent cat of PRC. Matthew_hk tc 05:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose -- "China" is ambiguous as it could also refer to Taiwan. I know that the independence of Taiwan is not recognised, but it de facto exists. Categorisation of a Taiwanese Company in one of these categories with be mis-categorisation. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. "Companies of China" presumably means companies registered under Chinese law, i.e. the law of the People's republic, therefore it is appropriate to use the name of the legal state where ambiguity may exist. If we were discussing Flora of China, Climate of China, etc, I would agree with removing the state name. Sussexonian (talk) 21:26, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose China is ambiguous, per One China and Two Chinas. Further, there exists older Chinas. The main article is also called People's Republic of China, and it recently failed a rename to China (see Talk:People's_Republic_of_China). 76.66.194.32 (talk) 04:12, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose That the PRC is the "successor state" to the Republic is laden with POV. (Don't believe me? Try making that argument to people that live in Taipei. I've seen someone try it, and it wasn't pretty.) The Republic of China still very much exists, and the PRC is more attached to that name than many people may realise. (I read a paper that a formal declaration by the ROC to change the name of the country to the "Republic of Taiwan" could be seen as a casus belli by Beijing for destroying the One China policy.)

Nominator's rationale: Category for a redlink producer. —Justin (koavf)TCM22:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If he does not have an article, he is presumably NN. If so, we do not need a category for his work. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:33, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete it. He had an article, it got deleted in 2008. The first step in this was to establish the notability of the producer, and then consider a category. I can't see any benefit to categorising things by relation to a redlink- what are our readers supposed to learn from this category? Likely the same thing I did- nothing.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:County Kilkenny. I will manually remove the two articles per Peterkingiron's suggestion, as both are already in the 'County Kilkenny' category tree via at least two other categories. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Landmarks in County Kilkenny to Category:County Kilkenny
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Vaguely-titled container category, with no parallel elsewhere in Ireland (there is no Category:Landmarks in Ireland or Category:Landmarks of Ireland), and few parallels anywhere else in the world. Navigation of categories is much easier if consistency of structure is maintained, and this category breaks that consistency. (It was created as Category:Landmarks of County Kilkenny by a prolific creator of Kilkenny categories, and then speedily renamed to change "of" to "in"). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:CFA Charterholders to Category:Financial analysts
Nominator's rationale: Merge. This appears to refer to Chartered Financial Analyst, but there are no sub-cats of Category:Professional certification in finance for holders of the many other types of professional certification in finance. This appears to me to be a similar issue to WP:OC#Award_recipients; people can and do receive professional or academic throughout their lives, but the defining characteristic of them is their occupation, not what particular qualifications they hold in that area. A useful parallel is Category:Accountants: we do not have a sub-cat for Category:Chartered accountants. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Members of the Bar of England and Wales anyone? Johnbod (talk) 12:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Which should be renamed to match Barristers in England and Wales, a name which reflects a natural overlap between licensure and occupation. If someone has not been admitted to the bar in this jurisdiction, presumably s/he could not be called a barrister.- choster (talk) 14:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is a "qualified in" category, capturing people admitted to the E&W bar, many of whom, like Ghandi, then go or return elsewhere. Apparently the CFA operates in the same way, with many foreign students. There is also Category:English barristers. Johnbod (talk) 14:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Members of the Bar of England and Wales does seem a bit superfluous to me, because there must a very high level of overlap between that and Category:English barristers+Category:Welsh barristers. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, Category:Members of the Bar of England and Wales is really a parent category for barristers divided by membership of their Inn of Court; there were a few people in there, but I've tidied them into their appropriate sub-categories leaving just one name I can't place at present.

Category:War crimes of the Second Chechen War

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: no consensus. I think it's indisputable that the category has potential problems, as do many of the subcategories of Category:War crimes. It would indeed be ideal if users would stop creating categories with names that contribute to a battleground atmosphere. But I don't see a consensus here to delete or rename in this case. From some of the comments by participants, a broader nomination might be appropriate, which could be started at any time. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:52, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:War crimes of the Second Chechen War (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category is a very subjective one, in which mainly articles relating to Russian actions in Chechnya are added based purely on editorial POV; Chechen atrocities are not added. None of the articles in the category have sources which fit a wide POV that the actions were war crimes. Yes, some of these incidents have resulted in cases which have gone to the European Courts - but who has made the European Courts the determiner on what does or doesn't constitute a war crime - which is completely different to violation of human rights, or even so called international crimes. Of course there are some interest groups which call some of the incidents war crimes, but then so too are there many groups which call the Bombing of Dresden a war crime - yet that category is not present on that article. Take for example, Novye Aldi massacre which is present in this category - it led to two cases in the European Court of Human Rights - Estamirov and Others v. Russia and Musayev, Labazanova and Magomadov v. Russia, yet neither judgement mentions that these were war crimes. But rather humans right abuse cases. Talk:Bombing of Katyr-Yurt will also demonstrate how the addition of this category to articles is problematic, for they are not internationally recognised as war crimes. There are other categories available into which such articles can belong, but as the category as it stands is one which content is determined purely by editorial POV, it should be deleted. Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 16:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If it helps to reduce battleground attitudes in this project, I agree. But one could upmerge the entire Category:War crimes based on precisely the same arguments.Biophys (talk) 17:48, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm only voting on the merits of the category being nominated. If Category:War crimes is nominated (which I believe it should be), I'll consider it separately. Hope this clarifies my vote above.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 29, 2010; 14:51 (UTC)
I agree that an emotive POV term such as "massacre" is actually worse. But we need some category here. Unless something better can be suggested for the entire Category:War crimes, this should be kept.Biophys (talk) 21:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument essentially. What you have failed to cover is the mere fact that not a single one of the articles in the category have a single reference (let alone those from a scholarly source) which would demonstrate that they are widely regarded as war crimes. In essence, you are arguing to retain a category for which there are no references for any of those articles belonging in it. It would be advisable to take some time to review the articles in question before arguing to keep or delete the category. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 12:40, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If the articles are incorrectly categorised, then deal with that on the articles. But while war crimes categories exist in relation to other countries and other conflicts, the only grounds for deletion of this one would be underpopulation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I were to do as you suggest, then I would remove them all from the category as there are no references for it, and then I would be accused of emptying, and then deleting, categories out of process. So I throw back the original argument - no sources, no category. It's as simple as that really. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 16:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus; doesn't seem to be any enthusiasm for this move, though participation was light and the opposition was not too fierce. Thus, I've closed this as a "no consensus" rather than a "do not rename" so that the nomination could be made again in the future. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:46, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:People by country and city to Category:People by city by country
Nominator's rationale: listed are not people by country and city, but people by city and city by country Mayumashu (talk) 15:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
??It s not 'Afghan people by city' but Category:People by city in Afghanistan, and individuals are listed as Category:People from Kabul, not 'Afghan people from Kabul' Mayumashu (talk) 17:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But it is a subcat of Category:Afghan people, so the people are Afghan. We don't have a 'People in Afghanistan' scheme. Occuli (talk) 19:14, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We should have a Category:People in Afghanistan, because Category:Afghan people is not a neutral term. Per Demography of Afghanistan, "Aghan" is historically a synonym for Pashtun people, one of the larger of several ethnic groups in Afghanistan. It's one of the many non-neutral consequences of the mistaken convention of demonyms for nationality categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:58, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I only picked Afghan because it was the first. Please change the example to 'Category:People by city in Canada', and side-step an Afghan impasse. ('People in England' and 'English people' are not the same thing.) Occuli (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
'People by country' does not presume that the people are citizens of that country (as 'People by nationality' does), only of that country in some manner, anyway. The matter of improving upon 'Cat:Fooian people' for people of Fooian citizenship is a matter that needs to be addressed, I agree too, but is hardly one that should hold up this nomination.

Propose renaming the following:
Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: At present there are no trees Category:Actors by city, Category:Artists by city, Category:Musicians by city, Category:Writers by city (perhaps there should be?), and the convention is to cat (general) occupations by state, province, etc. In addition, listed are not just those from the city of Pittsburgh but from the wider metro area. (There is the tree Category:People by metropolitan area in the United States.) Mayumashu (talk) 14:45, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Content of the encyclopedia needs to be verifiable. As an editor who's added many of the entries to Category:Musicians from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and other of these categories, I have seen almost no sources using "from the Pittsburgh metropolitan area". The "metropolitan area" is almost always assumed by sources when using the term "Pittsburgh" as the technical geographical city is quite small. I further oppose a move to the "from Pennsylvania" category as they've already been diffused into subcategories, because the main categories were becoming large enough not to be useful. dissolvetalk 16:46, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • If/since the sources aren t clear, we need to, by default, cat to the metro area (as, obviously, the city is within the metro area and not the other way round), which is what this nomination suggests. Mayumashu (talk) 17:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • That sounds like complete justification for the proposal. Since the media uses one term to describe two areas, one that overlaps the other, we should use the broader area since that would always be accurate. We have been down this road before and found that it can be the correct way to categorize. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Comment -- I assume that the "metopolitan area" extends beyond the legal boundary of the city. If so, those from beyond the "legal" city shoudlbe categorised in the place they are actually from. If the metropolitan area can be precisley defined (without POV-issues), it might be a parent category. No vote - as I do not know the area. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:51, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Lack of uniformity in definitions of metropolitan areas (both throughout space and time) and hence likely source of arguments, fussiness, and POV traps. gidonb (talk) 01:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:HMS-affiliated unions to Category:Hind Mazdoor Sabha
Propose renaming Category:HMKP-affiliated unions to Category:Hind Mazdoor Kisan Panchayat
Nominator's rationale: expand abbreviations per main and consistent to the other subcategories of Category:Trade unions in India (see this CfD). I understand that these names don't say "union" for an English-speaking user, so I'm certainly open to alternative proposals. The acronym, however, is cryptic.

  • I assume most, if not all, of these are populated by a template. Isn't it easier to fix the template and then delete the old categories as G6 housekeeping / G8 populated by a retargeted template? Still, no harm done if approval given here for a non-controversial change, so rename all. BencherliteTalk 14:41, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all to match changed name of the project. In practice, this change can only be implemented by changing the project's banner template, but if Black Falcon is willing and able to do that, then the resulting empty categories can be deleted per this CFD. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:10, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename automatically or not at all using AWB or something. It took a while to create those categories and it doesn't really matter.--mono 04:51, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Topics in popular culture. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:In popular culture to Category:Subjects in popular culture or Category:Topics in popular culture or something else
Nominator's rationale: Rename. It seems to be that the current name is a bit incomplete. One is left wondering what "in popular culture"? There is no subject in this category name, just a dangling prepositional phrase. We need a noun as a subject in the phrase—it could be "topics", "subjects", or something else.
