Merge, Duplicate category due to incorrect capitalisation Tim! 20:50, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, it's empty. —Markles 19:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. --Cswrye 20:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animal noises

Category:Animal noises to Category:Animal sounds

Rename, Misleading term: they are not "noices", i.e., not random, meaningless sounds. The main article in this category is called List of animal sounds. `'mikka (t) 19:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename Pet Sounds. Just kidding. Rename per nom. --M @r ē ino 19:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Master drummer

Abstain, found lurking in Category:Categories for deletion. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 18:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[Keep]; granted this category only has two entries so far, but I'm hoping to write more articles on Master Drummers of Africa. It was only created a couple of days ago. Spaceriqui 18:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In which case at least rename to Category:Master drummers – assuming "Master drummer" is a formally recogniz/sed title...? Regards, David Kernow 18:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename if kept. Vegaswikian 19:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It is a title.... The title of master drummer is given to a drummer who is recognized by other masters for his high degree of skill and knowledge in African drumming. The title itself is very much respected in the culture where it originates.... --Spaceriqui 19:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Romania images

Rename to Category:Images of Romania, convention of Category:Images by country. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 17:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. David Kernow 18:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buildings in Bucharest

Rename to Category:Images of Bucharest. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 17:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom, as the category contains images whereas the articles about buildings are in Category:Buildings and structures in Bucharest as they should be.-choster 17:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom and choster. David Kernow 18:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. Agent 86 17:43, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Silent comedians

Category:Silent comedians to Category:Silent film comedians

Rename, to remove the potential for confusion with Category:Mimes and to match the parent category Category:Silent film actors. Chicheley 16:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per Chicheley. David Kernow 19:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. --Cswrye 20:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Celebrity Poker Showdown players

Delete, already listed in Celebrity Poker Showdown. Unlike other Category:Reality television participants, they are notable for some other reason. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 16:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. --musicpvm 18:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, kind of similar to all of those "guest star on x tv show" categories, not an important part of their career and better handled in the article on the show. Recury 19:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roman Catholic sportspeople

Recat under Category:Protected deleted categories, to clear from the list. See discussion here. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 15:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shady Records

Delete, See Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_20#Category:Shady_Records. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 14:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Classical Dances of India

Category:Classical Dances of India to Category:Classical dance genres of India

Abstain: Helping another user who keeps adding a {{move}} tag to the category's talk page. His/her edit summary says "'dances' should not be capitalized and these are dance genres, not dances". —Wknight94 (talk) 10:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename - seems reasonable. --Cswrye 20:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Local government in the United Kingdom

The UK category use "of" while the other subcategories of category:Local government by country use "in". The latter is preferable as each country has many local governments, there is no single local government "of" the United Kingdom, by definition it is the national government that covers the whole country.

Category:Local government of the United Kingdom amend to Category:Local government in the United Kingdom
Category:Local government of England amend to Category:Local government in the England
Category:Local government of Scotland amend to Category:Local government in Scotland
Category:Local government of Wales amend to Category:Local government in Wales
Rename all Nathan Mercer 10:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- There should be no "the" in the England category, but otherwise rename all. Thryduulf 11:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename with amendment as per Thryduulf. Chicheley 15:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment why are local governments at odds with governments, which use the "of" form? Tim! 17:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Local governments in Pakistan

Category:Local governments in Pakistan to Category:Local government in Pakistan

Rename, This category should cover the whole subject area of local government in Pakistan but its present name implies it is merely a duplicate of category:Subdivisions of Pakistan. Nathan Mercer 09:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Singular plural words

Delete, This is a very trivial characteristic for a category. If fully populated (it currently contains only two articles), it would include a number of completely unrelated articles. musicpvm 09:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Nathan Mercer 10:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is a categorisation that might be suitable for Wikitionary, but not Wikipedia. Thryduulf 11:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above plus unclear name. David Kernow 12:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Overcategorization. --Cswrye 20:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Similar to Myst

Delete, Subjective category. If for any reason it is a keeper, it should be renamed to Category:Myst clones, as per Category:Joust clones, but I can't say how 'similar' or 'cloned' the games in this cat are. Marasmusine 08:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Chicheley 15:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, but if it is kept, rename per Marasmusine. --Cswrye 20:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Theme music

Category:Theme music to Category:Theme songs

Rename, As a subcategory of Category:Songs this should be renamed, otherwise albums are likely to end up here too. (Unfortunately this is already happening with soundtracks, where songs, albums, people and concepts are getting muddled up in the same categories). kingboyk 06:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom and for consistency. --musicpvm 08:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. Nathan Mercer 10:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per kingboyk. Category:Theme music could be a parent category...? David Kernow 12:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC), stricken 19:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If you're willing to delve into the murky waters of the soundtracks/soundtrack album categories, I guess it could! :P --kingboyk 12:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not all theme music is a song, for example Doctor Who theme music. Tim! 17:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Most of the present membership are songs, but making Category:Theme music a parent category of Category:Theme songs for the sake of those few that are not songs seems like creating an unnecessary extra layer of categoriz/sation. Regards, David Kernow 19:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Tim. We just did the reverse rename in May. - EurekaLott 19:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cult Cars

Delete. Too subjective, doesn't have as clear of criteria as Category:Cult films has. The corresponding article (Cult car) lists a definition that can apply to many cars. If it's kept, it at least needs to be renamed to Category:Cult cars per WP:NAME. Interiot 06:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- For what it's worth, some discussion has happened at the automobile wikiproject. --Interiot 06:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Nathan Mercer 10:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, and I am even actually unsure about the cult films too (if anybody would like to use its existence as a counterargument). Also merge the stub into cult following, obviously. Bravada, talk - 10:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If kept or no consensus, at least amend to Category:Cult cars per Interiot. David Kernow 12:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete subjective. Although the VW Beetle probably deserves the reputation :) Tim! 17:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep and rename to Category:Cult cars. I think this is a valid category. The problem is the definition in the article. The article should be cleaned up to provide a better definition and guideline. If that is not done within some reasonable period of time then the category should be deleted pending that cleanup. Vegaswikian 18:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ozzfest performers

Delete, for the same reason(s) as this one and several others previous. MightyMoose22 ^{>Abort, Retry, Fail?_} 05:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. --kingboyk 06:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Nathan Mercer 10:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. --TheM62Manchester 10:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. However, an Ozzfest performers article might be a good idea. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 14:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
