Category:British co-ed groups

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: rename to Category:British mixed-gender vocal pop groups. No consensus regarding whether this should continue to exist. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 22:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "British co-ed groups" simply do not exist, featuring an American term that makes no sense in a British context. Sources discussing mixed-sex British pop groups never describe them this way. Category, if kept, should be renamed to something that can be supported by sources.

Relisting comment: As Marcocapelle asks, is it defining?

@Escape Orbit: do you have thoughts on the alternative rename proposed above? HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hiddenstranger's suggestion of Category:British mixed-gender vocal pop groups seems like a better one to my alternative name. Although Marcocapelle makes a good question. The number of groups that this defines must be very small. Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:20, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 23:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining type of artist. there's no commercial artist category Mason (talk) 20:19, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not sure what this category is for... Here's the first sentence of one of the articles, Tom Hussey (photographer): Tom Hussey is an American photographer specialising in commercial advertising and lifestyle photography. Maybe there's a better way to categorize these people. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:19th-century American clergy. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 23:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between occupation and political orientation. This category is not the same as Category: Confederate States Army chaplains‎ Mason (talk) 13:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 23:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Contains only subcat Wikipedians from Czechoslovakia, which can go directly in the parent categories. Presumably the subcat should not be renamed to Czechoslovak Wikipedians, as that would be an anachronism. – Fayenatic London 10:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 23:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is not a useful category - the type of fuel used by an agency's buses is not a defining characteristic of those agencies. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This is so oviously WP:OCTRIVIA. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:26, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Deep Space Network

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: rename to Category:Deep space networks. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 23:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category was originally created for the NASA Deep Space Network. Expansion to "the deep space networks of all countries and organizations" was made explicit in 2013, but the category has never yet been renamed. Nurg (talk) 05:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion perhaps rename to Category:Space networks. This could extend to 'near space' networks such as Near Earth Network and LEGS. The category is not overwhelmingly large, and the near space networks are likely of interest to the same readers. LouScheffer (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Lou. I am happy for it to be expanded to include 'near space' networks, as it seems there is no category specifically for them currently. Nurg (talk) 23:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The proposed name is a more accurate description. LouScheffer (talk) 15:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. We don't have a main article, but this is a good description of these topics. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:06, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
