• Comment. Perhaps I've misunderstood the approach to categories; are we happy with a category for every set of albums by an artist, even when there's only one member? Is the creation of thousands of categories really desirable? -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 09:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I you go to a record store they have all the albums organised alphabetically by artist, not just those by artists with six plus albums or any other cut off. Golfcam 21:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, all album articles are categorised by artist, year, and (if posible) genre - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Categories. — sjorford (talk) 15:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• According to Mark Isham's article, he has released ten albums and twenty or more film soundtracks. That's a potential category population of more than 30 articles. On that basis, this is keepable; if there's only one article so far, the answer is to write up articles on some of the other 29 albums, not to delete the category. Bearcat 05:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep; albums by artist is a well-established and sensible category scheme, particularly when it is inevitable that the category will have more than one entry. Postdlf 01:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Keep. OK, fair enough. I'm afraid that I don't intend to cerate a new category every time I add an album, though... -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 10:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• Other islands are listed as in Category:Airports in Cyprus. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Agree for consistency, Category:Airports in Ireland, contains the subcategory of Category:Airports in Northern Ireland, which are "in" the island of Ireland although in the nation of United Kingdom. If we transferred "in" to "on" in Ireland, as we should do, this makes sense, because Northern Ireland is not "in" the country Ireland. All of these categories being subcategories of Category:Airports by country not Category:Airports by land mass this makes sense. Carlossuarez46 21:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply
• Oppose. Technically - although all of PEI's airports are on the main island, this category is referring to the province, rather than the island per se.

the closeness in recent voting on whether to hyphenate Category:Vietnamese Americans ( Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 February 1 #Category:Vietnamese Americans) suggests a lot of users (including myself before) have not thought this grammar bit through. the hyphen is only used properly to split up two adjectives while showing that the order between the two is signicant. the order is set - a "compound adjective" is formed to distinguish say Armenian-Canadian people (Canadian people of Armenian origins) from Canadian-Armenian people, Armenian people of Canadian origins. as used in the list above though, there is only one adjective describing one noun and therefore no compound adjective exists and no hythen is used - the grammatical truth of this matter is cut and dry Mayumashu 05:09, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Austroasiatic should be renamed "Austro-Asiatic." This word is similar to Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, Anglo-Saxon, Sino-Tibetan, and many others.

Delete because this category contains 190 stubs which are all copy and paste jobs from a single original stub. None of the stubs give any substantial information beyond which Karachi town they are located in. The 191st stub ( Gulistan-e-Jauhar) was the same as the others but now contains a series of lists of places in the neighborhood including two petrol stations and a telephone exchange. All of the information on the 190 stubs would be better placed as a list in their respective town articles (which are mostly stubs in themselves). Green Giant 03:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• Oppose for now. - That the stubs should be wrapped up into a list is a different debate. As long as the 190 or so stubs exist, though, IMHO this category is useful for keeping them collected. This CFD is very unlikely to spur the merging of the stubs. So I oppose this for now, but if/when the stubs are gone, I woudl gladly support this. - TexasAndroid 14:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Redundant category. All of the people listed as Confederate spies are also listed as American Civil War spies. Alternatively you could delete the American Civil War spies category and create a new category for Union spies, but right now there are so few entries for Civil War spying in general that I think it makes more sense to label them all as American Civil War spies rather than have separate Union and Confederate categories which would each have very few entries.
