Naming seems like it is a perjorative. Might appear like an enemies list of sorts. waffle iron  ^talk 22:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete I agree. There's no need to for us to judge whether someone is "far left" or not. Category isn't useful, as is too subjective with no definite criteria and will hinder rather than help ppl finding things. No defining criteria at all. -- DanielCD 22:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Weak Delete or spell out the criteria for inclusion in the category. The articles in the category need to have obvious relevent content with verifiable, reliable sources. Currently, the category refers to the Far-left article which says In modern times it is ideally used to describe persons or groups who hold radical egalitarian views thus supporting radical social and political change by taking over or overthrowing the existing order in society. It can also include an anarchistic hostility to most or all existing hierarchical organizations. I don't think this accurately describes the U.S. elected officials and political leader in this category. FloNight ^talk 01:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete unless there is a far right category to balance and a very clear and objective standard for inclusion. Trapper
• Keep. There is indeed a far-right politicians category. If this category is deleted then that would be a clear case of bias. -- HowardDean 03:32, 22 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Comment All I can find is Category:Far-right politicians. It's not categorized or populated. The terms far-left and far-right seem far less descriptive than the standard terms of conservative or liberal and their variations. -- waffle iron  ^talk 04:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Too subjective a term as its current misuse denotes. People seldom describe themselves as extremists. For the sake of balance I will nominate Category:Far-right politicians for deletion too. Valiantis 15:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Isn't left-wing versus right-wing is a reasonably objective and pretty NPOV axis? Isn't it possible to work out where someone falls on that axis, by reference to external sources?

See also the CFDs above for Category:Far-right politicians and the inherently POV and perjorative Category:Right-wing populists. Please would someone suggest some more objective and NPOV adjectives for the people who are (or were) in these categories. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC) reply

The naming convention at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories) for political parties by country categories is to use "in country". The following Youth wings of political parties by country categories should follow the same convention, as they are of the political parties in question. Currently however the youth wing categories all follow the wording "Nationality x". For consistency and to match the established naming convention policy, they are all therefore proposed for renaming as follows:

• Category:Youth wings of Afghan political parties to Category:Youth wings of political parties in Afghanistan
• Category:Youth wings of Albanian political parties to Category:Youth wings of political parties in Albania
• Category:Youth wings of Australian political parties to Category:Youth wings of political parties in Australia

This category is simply not all that helpful...three members of the class and the school's main article. A general, overarching categoy (similar to Category:Phillips Academy alumni would serve the purpose far better. I'll be happy to do the remaning legwork - tagging all the other notable alumni - if rename is voted upon. Rename. 82.82.176.188 15:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC) reply

I'm the guy who made this article. When I did, I thought that a lot more people from the class of '59 would show up as objects of Wikipedian articles, maybe a dozen, or even two dozen or so. And that other classes would then take note of this, and maybe create categories for their own classes. As you say, 3 people in one class is not much of a category. (And I tried like crazy not to have the school's main article show up in it but to no avail.) So I won't fight very strenuously to keep it. If you can think of a better rename, and know how to go about it, I will certainly support that. Hayford Peirce 16:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC) reply

The blurb at the top of Category:Swords states Category grouping articles on types of swords, and individual swords. Articles related to the sword in general go to Category:Sword. I don't think that this is a useful distinction - at the moment, the only contents of Category:Sword are Category:Swords and Category:Swordsmiths. Either the articles need to be split further between the categories (e.g. move types of sword into Category:Sword), or they need to be merged. SeventyThree^{( Talk)} 05:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC) reply
