Nominator's rationale: Delete. Delete eponymous category that contains a single article and 2 subcategories, each containing the same article Khem Veasna. Second subcat Category:LDP Members nominated above. Tassedethe (talk) 22:58, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge, without renaming the target. – Fayenatic London 17:20, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Three reasons, each of which separately is maybe not strong enough, but in conjunction I think they are.
  1. There's not too much difference between polemic and controversy, i.e. it's not very easy to see why some articles are in the one category while other articles are in the other category.
  2. The polemics category is relatively small.
  3. There is no other category that I know of which has polemics in the name (while for controversies there is quite a big tree).

The result of the discussion was: Speed delete per CSD G4 (reposting of XfD-ed material). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 15:32, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: User categories are intended to aid in the improvement of the encyclopedia. Grouping users with a Facebook presence doesn't advance this goal. Delete. (Note: Category:Wikipedians who use Facebook was deleted in 2007.) - Eureka Lott 21:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The 2007 discussion was short on logic, but the above nomination hits the nail on the head. The category structure is not to facilitate purely social aspects of Wikipedia. I advocate deletion of the category, but I would support the continued use of the template on userpages with no category function. SFB 21:55, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is just as irrelevant to collaboration on Wikipedia as it was in 2007.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:49, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Communist Canadians

[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: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This userbox-populated user category is for supporters of the Communist Party of Canada. It is, therefore, a grouping of user on the basis of a political affiliation that is irrelevant for building an encyclopedia; all similar user categories expressing support for or opposition to an organization (including political parties), or espousing a particular political ideology, have been deleted. I think that this category was missed by those previous nominations only because its title is missing the 'Wikipedian(s)' prefix/suffix that would identify it as a user category.

[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. I note that we already have Category:Federal ministers of Pakistan. – Fayenatic London 15:34, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category should be renames as there are number of ministries of same for provincial governments. So to remove confusion in future when some makes article for those provincial govt ministries Sulaimandaud (talk) 18:57, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Russian Revolution films, without prejudice to a future decision to settle what format to use for Category:Films about revolutions. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge, and restructure carefully. The nominated category seems to have been created following the pattern in Category:Films by war, but Category:Films about revolutions has a different naming standard. – Fayenatic London 13:45, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films about the People's Republic of China

[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: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Here's another outlier "Films about country" category - in this case, an underpopulated container category that we can simply delete, as the two subcats are categorized elsewhere. BTW, if this passes I will speedily rename the documentary subcat, per C2C, to merely "China." I think a C2C would pass even now, but just to be sure I'll wait.

Category:Marathoning

[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) 01:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I feel "marathon running" is the more idiomatic term to encompass this field. It also helps distinguish the sport from other sports that use the term marathoning, such as Ironman triathlon and car racing (e.g. London–Sydney Marathon). Colloquially, marathoning of TV shows (i.e. many in one go) is becoming more common. The new title makes the subject very explicit SFB 09:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge per WP:SMALLCAT. The single member page is already in the other parent category. – Fayenatic London 07:19, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Energy costs

[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 Category:Energy economics and Category:Economic history. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:59, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Overcategorization. This category has only few entries and except of Cost of electricity by source and Template:Cost of energy sources, it is not about cost but about prices and pricing. Although it is a related topic, it is not the same. The only reason to keep this category could be an inclusion to Category:Costs. However, Category:Costs has only two other subcats and therefore Category:Energy costs does not needed for the categorization system. The issue with Cost of electricity by source and Template:Cost of energy sources could be resolved by adding them directly to Category:Costs. Beagel (talk) 07:13, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
