September 30

Misspelled, empty, and duplicate of Category:Road transport in Brazil Howcheng 23:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

While this might be a legitimate category in its own right with different content, it is actually closer to the content found in the categories in category:Conservation by country so it should be merged into category:Conservation in Thailand. The national parks category is also in category:national parks by country, which is in category:Parks. The wildlife sanctuaries are not parks in the normal sense, and nor are the historical parks, which are mostly ancient buildings. Conservation is the best and standard place for them.
Merge CalJW 23:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Contents moved to more appropriate Category:Hundreds. Also see talk. Jao 20:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Should be pluralised, and the latter is the format of other categories in Category:Actors by series --TimPope 20:09, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Religious movements has only two subcategories and three articles that are not materially different from the subcategories and articles listed under Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements. This will consolidate related topics and reduce confusion about the meaning of the two overlapping categories. RDF talk 19:51, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a standard category. It was only in the Georgia (country) menu when I found it. The standard form would be "Georgian (country) organisations", but that awkward form is not used for any other categories, and it sounds like it has something to do with country and western music to me, so I suggest renaming it category:Organisations in Georgia (country) CalJW 19:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate of Category:User 1337 only used by one person, compared to many for the other. Should this be on Templates for deletion? I wasn't sure, if someone could fix it if necessary, that'd be great. Kertrats | Talk 14:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ill-defined category. All but one of these are set in the former Yugoslavia. Suggest delete unless someone can think of a suitable re-name and remove the one rogue film (Tears of the Sun). JW 12:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Category:Submarine fiction. JW 10:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are nine subcategories of Category:Mountain passes. Four are (IMO) named correctly as "Mountain passes of Foo". I propose renaming the other five for consistency:

Grutness...wha? 08:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The names of these categories currently are mostly "fooian images" with a few in "images of foo" format. Propose mass renaming as below and adding "Images of foo" as the convention at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories). Detailed list follows (not yet marked with cfru). -- Rick Block ( talk ) 07:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(being marked with CFRU now) (SEWilco 15:29, 30 September 2005 (UTC))[reply]
  • Objection to form of proposal There is no such naming convention. The word "images" does not appear on the page linked. It is an unresolved matter on its talk page. There is no general rule that the "of" form should be used except for natural features. Images are not natural features. Thus we are being asked to create policy, not to implement it. CalJW 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all. To quote my comments on the talk page:
    • The problem is that 48 out of 49 national categories are in "X images" format, while the subcategories of category:Images of places are in "Images of X" format. But apart from the categories for U.S. states "Images of places" is almost empty. Thus we have two different standards and Category:Images of United States is the intersection point. I favour "Images X" because not all the images in these categories show the whole of the place named. To me, "Images of the United States" only completely appropriate for satellite photos. An image of say a Harley Davidson is an image "from" or "taken in" the United States. Thus it's easiest to stick to "United States images" to cover all types of images, and all the continental and US state categories should be amended to reflect the convention used for countries. CalJW 01:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
    • CalJW 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • What are these "49 national categories" to which you refer? 49 is not the number of categories being discussed, and 20 of the "X images" categories are empty and thus do not indicate any consensus. Also notice how many of these categories are near the start of the alphabet; they indicate a single user's project rather than a consensus. (SEWilco 16:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC))[reply]
  • Merge those duplicated (e.g. Canada, Australia, India) according to consensus. — Instantnood 10:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all. --Kbdank71 13:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all. These obviously should be "of country" or "in country" categories (either as Man-made objects or Natural features), and the convention states in Naming conventions (categories)#How to name the country: "For "of country" and "in country" categories, the name of the country should appear as it does in the name of of the article about that country" (SEWilco 14:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC))[reply]
  • Rename all per my comments of previous discussion, to whit "I have no problem understanding that images of the Statue of Liberty or the White House are images of the United States. Isn't that the common way to refer to groups of images of objects within a country, they are images of that country. I suggest that the (current) format is unusual and not perhaps common usage." Steve block talk 15:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This constant insistence that there is an established consensus on this matter when there is not, and I have pointed that out in the plainest terms, is lamentable conduct. CalJW 19:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all. Current "X images" is grammatically unacceptable and does not fit with all other country-specific categories. siafu 13:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as suggested, on the basis of grammar if nothing else. James F. (talk) 07:31, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to standard form: category:Schools in South Africa as per all but one of the other categories in schools by country. (But I don't think the other one should be changed (though it should be made a subcategory) which is another example of why these should not be speedies). CalJW 06:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rename category:Castles in Armenia to agree to all the other national castles categories. CalJW 05:35, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is simply an out of date copy of the article list of Armenians. It was used as an article rather than as a category. It looks like an error. Delete CalJW 05:16, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Category:Politics of France in line with the convention for these categories. CalJW 05:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Will make Category:Films by star consistent internally and parallel Category:Films by director in terms of naming regimen, also eliminates the "Clint Eastwood films" ambiguity problem identified earlier. -The Tom 04:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The delete all argument seems convincing, again with the "except Muppets" proviso. -The Tom

Rename consistent with all other members of Category:Natural history by country.--nixie 04:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
