The result of the debate was No consensus to rename -- so I looked up the practice at http://www.uscourts.gov/districtcourts.html. When used in a sentence, they are "United States district courts". Thus, it appears that the person that made each category had some clue about legal naming. Sure enough, the creator is a fairly newly minted lawyer, knowledgable about current case citations. To reflect the actual world, both are properly named. -- William Allen Simpson 03:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Rename one, but only one, of these categories, below. Frankly, I don't care which one. but it must be consistent.

Category:United States Court of Appeals cases → Category:United States court of appeals cases

Category:United States district court cases → Category:United States District Court cases

For the sake of consistency in capitalization, either both groups of courts should be capitalized, or neither.

Previously, I have nominated them separately, and neither suggestion passed. So now we can debate them together.

The result of the debate was Keep, and not properly nominated -- William Allen Simpson 03:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

This is a redundant category in my opinion, as there is already a category for destroyers. It is also only filled with Korean destroyers, so it seems that someone created it simply because he/she wanted to make those 3 Korean destroyer types "special". There is a sub-category, but that too is just for "Indian modern destroyers" and similarly very empty. Given that hardly anyone is using it, I don't see why it should stay. I think it should be deleted. John Smith's 18:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC) reply

A better name for inclusion in Category:Mayors by country which is what they really are. The proposed name is shorter and clearer about the contents. If there are notable city managers they can be placed in a category for that title. But city leaders are generally know as Mayor.

• Oppose -- The subcategories should not be renamed. Therefore, the parent category should follow the convention for the children.
  1. We've already been over this state by state for the past 8 months:
     • Some US states have Mayors only, some have managers, some have both.
     • Some Mayors are executive, some are honorary, some are legislative.
     • The law varies by state under the theory of home rule.
  2. Note that the UK and others also have Leaders of cities.
  3. Wikipedia is not the world legal body for enforcement of uniformity.

• Category:Leaders of cities in the United States should be merged into Category:Mayors in the United States. As it is, ALL of the items currently listed are in fact mayors. The subcats should also be renamed as Mayors in X (state). That the office of mayor has varying powers in different places is largely irrelevent to categorization (if anything, those with a ceremonial mayoral position arguably should NOT be included in the category of "leaders of cities in ..."). If there ever arises a need to categorize City Managers, they should go into a separate hierarchy, with a head of something like "Administrators of cities in ..." older ≠ wiser 16:09, 25 June 2006 (UTC) reply

• Comment We need a category for mayors and maybe additional categories for other people. The situation in England and Wales is that some (but not all) towns and cities have lord mayors or mayors; they are usually honorary but recently some executive ones have been created.

Whether a character is sarcastic seems POV -- some characters are sarcastic sometimes but not others. Chandler Bing? It's highly arguable he's not sarcastic but sardonic, for example. The category itself also seems of limited encyclopedic use. Tenebrae 14:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Not a meaningful categorization, except perhaps for Jewish gauchos.

"And political" is exceptionally vague, and marries two topics which have nothing in common. Dahn 00:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• I think the category should be deleted instead of renamed. After all what is a "Totalitarian youth organization"? Along with that, the "Totalitarian" qualifier will be a source of disputes. Mário 14:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Comment I too believe that "delete" is the best solution. I initially thought nominating it in this manner would be less controversial, perhaps leading to a discussion on whether it should be kept at all (it seems I was right). Dahn 16:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete If part of the name were to be kept Category:Political youth organizations would be better, but we already have Category:Youth wings of political parties and declaring youth organizations which don't belong to that to be "political" seems likely to be a rather POV matter.
