Propose renaming Category:People from Bender to Category:People from Bender, Moldova

Category:Ford 300 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete. We've renamed all the NASCAR race categories to categories based on their racetracks, but this one's a bit different. All the ones we renamed were part of the Sprint Cup Series, the main NASCAR circuit. This is part of the Nationwide Series, which is (kind of) a minor league circuit. None of the other Nationwide races have categories, so this one doesn't need one either. (It's already in Category:NASCAR Nationwide Series races, so we don't need a rename.)--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:23, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging

• Category:Majority Leaders of the United States House of Representatives to Category:Party leaders of the United States House of Representatives
• Category:Minority Leaders of the United States House of Representatives to Category:Party leaders of the United States House of Representatives

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Right now, there's a category for Majority leaders (which has 21 articles) and a category for Minority leaders (which has 2 articles). I suggest merging the two into one category which could also allow whips to be included. Thus we'd have a more inclusive category. Many Reps go from Whip, to leader, to majority, back to minority, and it makes better sense to capture that in one category. Let's leave Speakers separate, though. —Markles 11:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Tentative oppose. I don't know the structure of the US Congress as well as I know that of Westminster or the Oireachtas, but my impression from this side of the pond is that in Congress the position of Majority leader or Minority leader is a much more high-profile position than that of a whip, and that Majority leader is the more significant of those two. It seems to me that it would be more appropriate to create a new Category:Party leaders of the United States House of Representatives which could include whips, and to make both Category:Minority Leaders of the United States House of Representatives and Category:Majority Leaders of the United States House of Representatives sub-categories of that.
  Also, I notice that the nominator's proposal omits the existing category of minority leaders, and would leave us with a separate category for the minority leader but the majority. That seems perverse. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS Just spotted the minority leaders in a separate nomination below, so will merge the two discussions. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:03, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose Merges The distinction between majority and minority leader is an important one. While there will be some minority leaders who become majority leader after a change in control, the distinction is still worth making. Alansohn (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Perhaps Delete and reorganize into Category:Democratic Floor Leaders of the United States House of Representatives and Category:Republican Floor Leaders of the United States House of Representatives. We avoid double-tagging articles for those in charge when control changes, and the relatively ambiguous "Party leaders" nomenclature (Party leaders of the United States House of Representatives notwithstanding, the top leader of the majority is actually the Speaker). The lengthy names are unfortunate, but at least if we specify the U.S. House, we don't need to dab the party names, either.- choster (talk) 02:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I like that idea, because it reduces category clutter on biographies. The only problem is familiarity: aren't these new terms much less known han Majority Leader and Minority Leader? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:52, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:ShipsByWikipedian7878 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete, per numerous precedents against wikipedians creating categories for pages in their own userspace. I appreciate the desire of an editor to keep track of all their subpages, but the job can be dine quite simply without a category by using Special:Prefixindex. In this case the link is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Wikipedian7878&namespace=2 . --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Educationists by nationality ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete. This is a redirect to Category:Educationists that is supposed to remain empty. However, the template {{Fooian fooers}} contains an "#ifexist" clause that automatically populates this category if it exists, and as a result Category:Irish educationists has been placed in this category incorrectly, even though it is also in the redirect target category. Deleting this category will eliminate the duplicate categorization and allow the template to function as intended. R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:43, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I guess this is my fault, because I spent a few hours yesterday adding {{Fooian fooers}} (or its cousins in Category:Wikipedia classification templates) to all sub-acts of Category:Irish people by occupation, and it was me who added the "#ifexist" clause to {{Fooian fooers}}. I still think that the "#ifexist" clause was an improvement, because it removed a pointless redlink from many categories, but I hadn't considered this side-effect. However, I don't think that the existence of one link to a redirect is a good enough reason to remove that useful redirect. A permalink to a redirect is ugly, but I think that not having the redirect is likely to impede navigation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category:Districts of Peru is subcategorized by region first and by province second. Since the Constitutional Province of Callao is the only province in Callao Region (see Callao and Provinces of Peru), I think that the category should be at the level of the region.

In light of this, and since the article Callao is already in Category:Callao Region, this added category layer seems to be unnecessary. On the other hand, its existence ensures that Category:Provinces of Peru contains subcategories for all 25 regions of Peru. (Category creator and WikiProject Peru notified using Template:Cfd-notify)

Nominator's rationale: This is a userbox-populated user category for a joke WikiProject and, as such, does not facilitate encyclopedic collaboration between users. Displaying the userbox is quite fine, but the category serves as nothing more than a "bottom-of-the-page" notice and is merely a byproduct of the userbox. The category should be deleted as overcategorization on the basis of a characteristic that is primarily humorous or satirical, and per consistent precedent for deletion of similar categories grouping users by defunct or non-existent project. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 01:49, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
