January 31[edit]

Category:Albums produced by "Weird Al" Yankovic[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 2014 FEB 17 CFD. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:10, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. He hasn't produced anything but his own albums, and he is not known primarily as a producer. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:40, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 February 10. The Bushranger One ping only 01:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Permanent category renamed to Category:Chilodontidae (gastropods), as this family name is also in use by fish. Propose changing the corresponding template to {{Chilodontidae-gastropod-stub}}. At this point, the permanent fish category is small enough to not worry about a stub category or template.

The result of the discussion was: rename. The Bushranger One ping only 01:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category should follow the established convention of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Case law by party (FOO litigation), but it should also make clear, that it's about cases related to Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States only.

The result of the discussion was: Keep. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:35, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Opposed speedy. The main article of the category is Revolution of 1905. (Please note, that if disagreement with the title of the article should be solved through an RM on the articles talk page and not there.) Armbrust The Homunculus 14:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: not renamed. No prejudice against a renomination that involves renaming the rest of the tree. The Bushranger One ping only 01:56, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Opposed speedy. The main article of the category is Judicial system of Singapore. Armbrust The Homunculus 14:08, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for consistency with other branches of the government, such as "Category:Legislative branch of the Singapore Government". — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 03:10, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. The Bushranger One ping only 01:58, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The main article of the category is Judiciary of Colombia, but it was only moved recently and without a RM, therefore not eligible for speedy renaming. Armbrust The Homunculus 14:03, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Czech astronauts[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:04, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category was previously nominated (here), but closed as no consensus as it was not properly tagged. As noted there, this per the actual Czech term ("kosmonaut") and WP:COMMONNAME. See also [1]. The Bushranger One ping only 07:07, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:SMALLCAT and that most of the non-Soviet and non-American "astronauts" were only astronauts for a small time of their lives (have any been on more than one mission?); so that per our common usage on "by profession" categories; this seems less than necessary, we'd never put someone who had a few photographs published but was notable for something else as a "photographer." Buzz Aldrin had photos published in Life magazine; and Neil Armstrong's photo of Aldrin is iconic; neither is a "photographer" by profession, however. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 07:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're entitled to your opinion, but these guys were pilots who for a short period became "astronauts", like the space tourists. And as for "flown into space", you assume too much for your strawman; not all astronauts "fly into space" just like may pro athletes warm benches. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:23, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • American astronaut Scott Carpenter and Gus Grissom each spent about five hours in space. Pioneering cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin couldn't even manage two hours in space. I've taken longer naps than that. Are you seriously arguing that Carpenter, Grissom and Gargarin aren't defined as astronauts / cosmonauts? Just as consensus is that professional athletes are both notable and defined as an athlete by playing their sport on a professional basis, so too any astronaut who has flown into space is inherently notable defined as an astronaut / cosmonaut / taikonaut, and this will remain true until space travel becomes far more routine than it is today. Do you truly believe that Oldřich Pelčák and Vladimír Remek are not defined as cosmonauts and can you offer any evidence to support your claim? Alansohn (talk) 15:52, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – going into space is quite obviously defining and will be for some decades to come. The subsidiary question of whether this is a 'profession' relates more to the category tree than to the existence of the category. Oculi (talk) 09:40, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • rename per nom as the facts supporting the rename are correct. Hmains (talk) 02:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Rename There may well be planets in this universe where being a space traveler is not a defining characteristic, but here on Earth anyone who has been an astronaut / cosmonaut is de facto defined as an astronaut / cosmonaut, no questions asked. It seems hard to believe that anyone could seriously argue that John Glenn should not be defined as an astronaut because he spent merely a few hours on his first mission before spending a brief spell as a passenger on a Space Shuttle mission and that he was primarily defined by his political career. Both Oldřich Pelčák and Vladimír Remek are clearly defined as cosmonauts in the first sentence of their article, while WP:SMALLCAT explicitly excludes deletion of categories that are part of a larger structure.

Category:Languages of Bicol[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: merge to all parents. Note that subcategory Category:Bikol languages is already in a subcat of Category:Languages of the Philippines and was thus not upmerged there. The Bushranger One ping only 02:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Unnecessary layer, small category, and already has a list which is more useful. Other regions do not have categories within ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Languages of the Philippines. – Fayenatic London 06:43, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge. The Bushranger One ping only 02:04, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no scheme for Category:Hardcore punk by country and neither parent category is so large as to be un-navigable. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
