OK folks - We had a bit of a mix up here so bear with us. The original nomination earlier in the day was to have the "female" part take out of the subcategories remove the subcats (upmerge) and leave the overcategory of British female MPs alone. However, another nomination was made later to remove British female MPs entirely. Both nominations are preserved here with votes intact as they were at the time of refactoring. I'm going to contact everyone who has commented until now and try and have them revisit to make sure that their view reflects on the possibilities from this new nomination. If you are clarifying your vote, can you make some note of that and place them immediately following this message? Thanks!

Separate categories have been created for California film actors and California television actors. The articles added to them are being taken out of the national categories. By-state categories are of marginal value at the best of times, but these ones are egregious. Making state of origin/residence/whatever unspecified criteria anyone feels like using, the primary means of sorting American actors in each field doesn't reflect how the industry works and massively impedes access and navigability. There is also the potential for horrendous category clutter if stage, radio, voice, musical theatre, child etc by-state categories follow. Time taken: huge; clutter created: huge; value added: negative. Two actions are required to fix this situation: Actions required:

Listify and delete this category and its subcats:
I think that they set a bad precedent for economic activity by place categories, which could be problematic in the long run if they are to include historic and current economic activites. There are also some problems with how the categories are defined and could be thought of as misleading since many mining towns aren't just mining towns, and there are numerous towns associated with the mining industry where there is no mining.-- Peta 02:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC) reply
