Propose renaming Category:Non-free Wikipedia file size reduction requests that must be manually processed to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing

Nominator's rationale: The first change ('Non-free Wikipedia' → 'Wikipedia non-free') is per the parent category and the second change ('that must be manually processed' → 'for manual processing') seems like a good way to shorten the title without losing precision. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 23:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another option is Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests (manual) – even shorter but it uses parenthetical disambiguation. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 23:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:44, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Warner Independent films to Category:Warner Independent Pictures films

Nominator's rationale: Per the main article, Warner Independent Pictures. This is not eligible for speedy renaming under criterion C2.D as it is not a topic category. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 20:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to match main article. RevelationDirect (talk) 04:46, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why the speedy criterion was changed as this seems the perfect example of a non-controversial move. Rename per nom. Tim! (talk) 07:47, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion#Speedy renaming criterion C2.D. The problem was that criterion C2D was being used to change (accidentally, in some cases) topic categories into set categories, and vice versa. Best, -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 19:04, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Works about creative works

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: Upmerge. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:45, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge There's been some dissatisfaction in the past about the "works about works" naming structure (especially from Occuli). To this end, in that we have Category:Works about the arts I see no need for a subcat Category:Works about creative works. Indeed, taking a look at how Stefanomione has populated them, we find Works about musical theatre and visual art not in the "creative works" cat, but in the parent. I think we can easily organize everything in the higher level category, reducing confusion, including that of the category's creator, and ridding us of one more rather clunky "x about x" cat name. (The creator has been doing some solid work of late in the "works about" area and I do not offer this nom as a major problem per his ANI, esp. as these are not recent creations). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:30, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge. The more we use the arts/visual arts/fine arts, and the less we use media/works, the better. Better specificity, and less ambiguity. Clarity in naming. - jc37 23:34, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Presidents of FIS

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:42, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Presidents of FIS to Category:International Ski Federation executives

Nominator's rationale: Rename to avoid the ambiguous acronym and to obtain a larger scope. I think the larger scope yields a category which is small but not ridiculously small (in particular, we can add Vegard Ulvang which currently sits alone in Category:Skiing executives) and is more likely to expand.

Rename per nom. Tim! (talk) 07:45, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I see no objection to the proposal, but the parent should be Category:Toys by decade. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Category:Toys by year‎ way later added to the original nomination and all subcategories were listed. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{Let's talk}_{about my edits?} 00:33, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Chanbara anime and manga to Category:Samurai anime and manga

Nominator's rationale: Chanbara redirects to Samurai cinema, and thus the "Samurai anime and manga" title would be better for this category. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{Let's talk}_{about my edits?} 09:54, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Abandoned Drafts to Category:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts

Nominator's rationale: per convention. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Whoops, should have been at that in the first place. Sorry about that. Silver seren^C 06:23, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn by nominator. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Pro-life movement to Category:Something...

Nominator's rationale: Since pro-life was renamed to Opposition to the legalization of abortion after a long discussion (which I think is finally over...), the category should be renamed as well. If this passes, then the subcat.s and category:pro-choice movement are speedy-able. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:28, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment how about Category:Movement opposed to the legalization of abortion ? It would match the article. 70.24.251.224 (talk) 04:31, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Opposition to the legalization of abortion to match article. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:37, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Is this covered by Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles? Vegaswikian (talk) 07:00, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not technically, but since we probably want the cat to match the article name, resolving the latter will help us decide the former. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:14, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No action at this time There is an RFC underway at this time on these articles' names which will surely affect this category, the "long discussion" is once again underway. Mangoe (talk) 09:54, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What Mangoe said. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No action at this time per Mangoe. Any decision made now is likely to be superseded by the outcome of the the arbcom-sanctioned RFC, and having a substantive discussion here will only cause pointless wikidrama which risks contaminating the RFC. Please will the nominator withdraw this nomination? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn Per BHG--as I pointed out in my nomination, I thought this was all done. Since it was predicated on that discussion being over, my nomination is faulty. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2C. Timrollpickering (talk) 18:25, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Australian NASA facilities to Category:NASA facilities in Australia

Nominator's rationale: Rename. These are for facilities of NASA that are located in Australia. There is no body called the "Australian NASA", which is what the current name could be interpreted as meaning. The parent is Category:NASA facilities. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:23, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support perhaps even speedily as an X of Y issue. The cat name as is does suggest, to me, that some alternate organization might be at work. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:24, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- obviously correct. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
