NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Train simulator computer games

Category:Train simulator computer games to Category:Train simulation computer and video games

Rename, To bring into line with Category:Flight simulation computer and video games, and other 'simulation' categories. Marasmusine 11:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Hope I've done this right: my first time)

Category:Drug films

Category:Drug films into Category:Drug-related films

Merge. Duplicate category created by Cchamber (talk · contribs) based on an exclusive criteria that he invented, yet does not hold true in the real world. —Viriditas | Talk 11:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mansions

"Mansion" is a highly subjective term. I am in the process of cleaning up the whole of Category:Houses and have already moved the individual houses in Category:Mansions to the relevant by-country categories. However that was only a few dozen out of maybe the best part of a thousand residences with a claim to the vague and undefinable status of "mansion", and there wasn't the slightest sign of consistency in selection (most of them were in Italy or Scotland, while much grander houses elsewhere were not in the category) and I don't think there ever will or could be any consistency. The remaining articles are words for large houses, but it is POV to say which relate to mansions and which do not, so the category should be removed altogether. There is also a category for Canada, and for Canada only, whereas there are "houses in" categories for dozens of countries.

Category:Mansions merge to Category:House types
category:Mansions in Canada merge to Category:Houses in Canada
Category:Fictional mansions merge to Category:Fictional houses

Merge both Olborne 10:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom as POV. Landolitan 10:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. The blurb on Category:Mansions makes it clear how subjective this term is, and there is really little point in attempting to apply a distinction as most houses with articles are mansions, broadly interpreted. Wimstead 11:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom to Category:Members of the Privy Council

Error ab initio. - Kittybrewster 20:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from speedy after objection. Vegaswikian 07:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland, Sweden, Thailand, Canada also have Privy councils -- ProveIt ^(talk) 20:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There just need to be some cats made for the council prior to the formation of the UK.--Peta 08:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- ... of Scotland ... of Ireland ... of Sweden ... of Thailand and ... of Canada exist. - Kittybrewster 09:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Middle-Persian

Delete, This actually is more of a move from [[Category:Middle-Persian]] to [[Category:Middle Persian]], since the target category already exists[1]. I apologize that I already created a new category and edited relevant articles. But in my defense, it was a pretty uncontroversial move: all other 'Middle X' articles and categories, such as the article Middle Persian and the category Middle Dutch are hyphenless. –jonsafari 07:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. Landolitan 10:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nuts and seeds

Category:Nuts and seeds to Category:Edible nuts and seeds

Rename, category only contains edible nuts and seeds, but wihtout the qualifier is ambigious. Peta 06:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. Landolitan 10:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television shows set in San Francisco

No vote. Found this listing added on August 1 but no discsussion from that date. Vegaswikian 06:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to be a perfectly reasonable category. Wimstead 11:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two "Official documents" renames

Category:Soviet official documents to Category:Official documents of the Soviet Union

Category:United States official documents to category:Official documents of the United States

Rename, The other two subcats are "Official documents of <country> - these should be as well, per Categories by country, though reading it again makes me wonder if all four subcats shouldn't be named "in <country>"... SatyrTN 05:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename both per nom, i.e. using "of", assuming said documents were originated by agencies of those countries; "in" suggests the possibility of other countries' official documents having found their way into the hands of Soviet Union / U.S. / etc agencies, respectively.

More Wikipedians by interest

A crazy-quilt pass through category:Wikipedians by interest, cleaning up to standardized formats starting with “Wikipedian”:

If there are any that incite debate, I can break them out to separate nominations.—Mike Selinker 04:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think category:Wikipedian AFOL should change to category:Wikipedian fans of Lego, since that's what the "FOL" stands for. Having a mass change like this seems unnecessarily complicated. — Reinyday, 04:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Changed to "interested in Lego". Mostly I wanted to get the "adult" part out of that, since it seemed a bit divisive (no teens allowed). I'd like to limit "fans" to those of sports teams, but that may just be me.—Mike Selinker 04:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I support that, since I always though the acronym was annoying. — Reinyday, 04:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I oppose category:Wikipedians interested in LiveJournal to category:Wikipedian LiveJournalers as that is a totally different meaning. — Reinyday, 04:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Reasonable enough. I've removed that one.—Mike Selinker 04:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fans of xxxxx movie or filmmaker. That is going to get ridiculous quickly. Mrs. Doubtfire? Will the there be a category for every film ever? — Reinyday, 04:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Weirdly, there are over two dozen Wikipedians who've self-selected into that category. Baffling, sez I.--Mike Selinker
Support category:Home movie makers to category:Wikipedian home movie makers. — Reinyday, 04:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
With category:Wikipedians who own a Series Landrover to category:Wikipedians who drive Series Land Rovers, it's good to change to Land Rover, which is proper, but I think it is better in sungular. — Reinyday, 04:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- The problem with that is that it's impossible for all the Wikipedians to drive the same Land Rover. So it matches category:Wikipedians who drive Jaguars.
Oppose all changes of "Wikipedians interested in xxxxx" to "Wikipedians who like xxxxx". They are subcats of Category:Wikipedians by interest. — Reinyday, 04:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- All the subcategories of category:Wikipedians interested in TV are now "Wikipedians who like xxxxx", so this just follows suit.--Mike Selinker 04:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Scouting memorabilia collecters rename because Scouting is a proper noun in English and hence it's capitalized. Will not oppose if the new name capitalizes Scouting.Rlevse 10:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Not bothered if a few are tweaked as above. Olborne 10:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Intellectual's who wear blue socks on Thursdays that are Critics of George W. Bush

Delete, No one wears blue socks on Thursdays. This is WP:OR and WP:POV. Intangible 04:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete as patent nonsense. Eluchil404 04:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete and in the future, please use proper grammar when creating nonsense. — Reinyday, 04:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

comment The incorrect spelling was how the user who suggested the cat spelled it. I'm not some 's freak. --Kalmia 05:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as patent nonsense. Landolitan 08:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cryptohistory

Delete, Category is a hodgepodge of different conspiracy theories and far out ideas that could be roughly summarized as a POV-fork category. Furthermore, the criterion for inclusion " The category Cryptohistory consists of controversial elements of so called "secret" (hence "Crypto") history that often feature in pseudo-historical writing" is almost incoherent and this shows in what is in the category. For example, the category includes The Illuminatus! Trilogy (a fictional novel), Majestic 12 (a supposed UFO cover up) Atlantis and various other odd and ends.
