The result of the debate was rename to U.S. Routes by state. Syrthiss 03:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC) reply

this was improperly speedy renamed two months ago for some reason. The roads are U.S. Highways (or U.S. Routes, though that change could not be speedily done). This is not a case of using U.S. for laziness - the vast majority of times such a highway is referred to, it is U.S. Please undo this improper speedy. -- SPUI ( talk - RFC) 04:15, 5 April 2006 (UTC) reply

Moved from speedy after discussion. Vegaswikian 23:51, 6 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• surely if something has been speedied and theres now an objection its very similar to having an objection at the time - so it should be debated below rather than just respeedied. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 02:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Comment Improper speedy? Speedy rename R5 is abbreviation expanding for country names. At the least, both Kbdank71 and I looked at it (his and my names appear on the deleted cat) and there were no objections. Since I could have to be the closer for this discussion I will not make a binding recommendation (ie for closing treat this only as a comment), but my feeling is leave it expanded. -- Syrthiss 01:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Move. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 04:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC) (note: this vote was made for Category:U.S. Highways by state -- SPUI ( T - C - RFC) 04:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)) reply
  • Route is fine. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 18:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Speedy move and if possible move to Category:U.S. Routes by state. An improper speedy should be undone by default. -- SPUI ( T - C - RFC) 04:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Again, you say it was improper. You are welcome to provide evidence as to why it was improper. I resent the implication that Kbdank71 or I did this change in an improper way. -- Syrthiss 12:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

I didn't say you were in the wrong; as far as you knew it was proper. But now I have brought up that it is clearly not the right name, and so it should be speedily reversed. (Though given that it might be moved to U.S. Routes, we should hold off on that.) -- SPUI ( T - C - RFC) 12:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Move to Category:U.S. Routes by state per naming convention, see contents of Category:U.S. Highway System. As a whole, they are a "Highway System" but the individual roads are designated "U.S. Routes". — Apr. 7, '06 [04:24] < freakofnur_xture | talk>

• Note - gonna keep this unresolved for a day, I left a message for Rschen7754 on their talk page since their comment was before the Route choice was stated. -- Syrthiss 13:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. Bhoeble 11:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• The WP consensus has been to work toward a better subdivision of the musicians categories by the specific type of musician (eg. vocalists, keyboardists, guitarists, etc.); not all R&B musicians are vocalists. The answer here is cleanup, not deletion. Keep and populate. Bearcat 02:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Specifically, Rename to Category:R&B singers as per Category:Vocalists by style and guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Categorization. – Unint 06:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Note from closing admin - I think that this last suggestion is the probable best first step, though really in my opinion...since the cat is Vocalists by style then the all the subcats should more likely be Fooish vocalists instead of Fooish singers. Then R&B Vocalists wouldn't need a rename, and it could be fully populated as per Bearcat. However, there wasn't enough consensus to do any one thing so I'm tossing this back for now. -- Syrthiss 13:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC) reply

"Institutions" is really vague and no other city has such a category that I know of. I've taken out the media category, which really doesn't need to be here, and replaced the education category with a couple of its own subcategories which are more appropriate. Those two both belong in the main city category, so they don't need to be in a vague and somewhat opinionated intermediate category as well. Can we make this match the others in Category:Organisations by city? I've also added made it a subcategory of Category:Australian organisations. Merchbow 02:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC). reply

• Delete and listify. mattbr³⁰ 21:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep. It is of the same nature as any other "xxx family" category, but because Edwards is a fairly common name, the progenitor is identified by first name. For example, The Whitneys (nominated for renaming above) deals with, according to the Whitney family article, "begins with William Collins Whitney (1841-1904)". Same goes for most of the other "family" articles. Either get rid of the whole bunch, or keep this one like the others. Gene Nygaard 02:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Such a category could be named something like Category:Edwards family (Connecticut), or Category:Edwards academic family, or Category:Edwards-Dwight family. But a category titled Jonathan Edwards should be primarily about Jonathan Edwards himself, and there are not enough articles to make it so. Besides, these are not a handful of immediate family members but distant descendants. WP isn't Rootsweb; we wouldn't put Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in Category:Heinrich I von Eilenburg either. - choster 04:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• But then you have a renaming question. This ought to be debated on the basis of what the category is and was apparently intended to be, a family category, not about keeping it for a category for JE and his works, unless the keep is combined with a creation of a new category and moving this one's contents.

Comment How do we distinguish a guest star from a non guest star, i.e. how many episodes do you have to appear in not to be a guest star? Arniep 15:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC) reply

I wouldn't have a problem if we defined it as liberally as two discrete appearances (i.e., not one two-part episode). As long as we can avoid the category bloat caused by listing every actor who appeared in the show, I'll be happy. - EurekaLott 01:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

You see that that is where there is a problem as I would have a thought someone who appeared in only two episodes was still a guest star, maybe even 3? I am not sure of the point of these categories at all when a cast list for the main characters is usually on the relevant page. Arniep 22:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete. I'm going to support the previous votes since no one has offered a reason to overrule past consensus. I will ask, why not clean all of these up at one time rather then in small groups? Vegaswikian 20:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC) reply

This is the first time (that I can recall) where we've come close to consensus on categories that mixed guest stars with regular and recurring cast members. If we're able reach a decision here, I intend to nominate similar categories for the same treatment. - EurekaLott 16:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC) reply

I tried to get them deleted in December but met with a vast majority of keeps: Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2005_December_26#Actors_by_series_and_its_sub-categories. Arniep 21:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC) reply

• I'm not terribly inclined to believe that actors should be categorized on the basis of having made one guest appearance on a particular TV show. That's sitting uncomfortably close to the fancruft line for my taste. Delete all. Bearcat 20:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC) reply

There aren't any articles about individuals in this at the moment fortunately, but it would be prudent to rename it to reduce the risk of confusion with Category:Money managers, which is for articles about individuals. Carina22 00:33, 6 April 2006 (UTC). reply
