This name is confusing. Games are constantly reemoved fromt he category with notes they aren't sports games. This will never be able to keep articles. Beyond that, I think the concept is misguided as pretty much any game with multiplayer can be played competively. Ace of Sevens 23:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Keep There's no problem with the category itself, the problem is that someone thinks that any competative game is a "sports" game. Sports game, in common usage, means games like Madden NFL 2000, video games that are adaptations of a real-life professional sport. In short, usage problem, not category problem. Unworthy of deletion. -- tjstrf 23:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Comment There is already Category:Sports computer games for simulations of traditional sports. Electronic sports has a specific, different meaning. Basically, computer games that are played competitvely. The problem is, this is too broad and non-obvious to work as a cateogry. 05:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

In that case, strong delete as impossibly large, unmaintainable, vague, and useless. -- tjstrf 05:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Rename to Category:Sports video games. In the current parlance, video games means arcade, home console, and PC games. Sports works as a noun adjunct, making it clear that the subject of the game is " sports", which is pretty much defined as anything that is or could be played in the Olympics. Electronic sports is an annoying neologism that really should be called Competitive electronic gaming. -- M @ r ē ino 19:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Keep Look at the parent category. The naming might be confusing, but the category is needed. I updated the category description to make it less confusing. On a separate note, maybe Category:Sports computer games can be renamed to Category:Sports computer and video games. -- Usgnus 19:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC) -- Usgnus 19:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC) -- Usgnus 19:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• I can see arguments for keeping a category for games that are played professionally in competion (as opposed to MMO farming) as that's narrow enough to be meaningful, but a confusing name is a serious problem. If kept as is, we will constantly deal with people deleting articles from the category with comments like " StarCraft isn't Madden". Ace of Sevens 01:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Yes there is a big problem with misunderstanig of the category. As explained before this category should list all games that are played professional in competitions like the CPL, WCG, ESWC, WEG and so on, not sports related video games (unless they are played professional). A rename of the category could may solve this problem, but i can't find a name that is that much better. -- Wedderkop 00:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Delete. As electronic sports notes, the only standard for these games is "can be played competitively", which can apply to anything from Quake to CivNet. - Sean Curtin 15:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Well it is not "can be played" actually it is "are played". -- Wedderkop 16:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• This category has been replaced by more precise categories like Category:Opioids. — Centrx→ talk • 22:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply
• Comment "what is a narcotic" must be one of the more common research questions that people come to Wikipedia looking to learn about, seeing as it's a shifting definition with enormous legal consequences for those who get involved in them. Could some experts on these articles comment on whether keeping the category would be useful towards answering that question? -- M @ r ē ino 19:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply
• Question Should this category be kept as a parent to those more precise categories? -- JeffW 00:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC) reply
• Delete - opioid is a the proper encyclopedic term we are using here, and since all opioids are narcotics, and all (true) narcotics are opioids, there's no reason to have duplicate categories. "Narcotic" as a legal term referring to non-narcotics such as cocaine and cannabis is POV, and has no place in Wikipedia. -- Thoric 17:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Comment Capitalisation wrong. A government house is a house owned by the government in which anyone from a civil servant to a politician to any official lives in. A Government House (capitalised) is the formal name of an official residence of a governor, governor-general, etc and as a formal name is a proper noun. The category is about the official residences. Therefore as proper noun it needs capitalisation. Otherwise any government house, e.g., a grace and favour apartment for a royal, or a civil servant's small semi-detached house in the suburbs, would qualify for inclusion.

I populated this category essentially by myself (there were 3 entries when I ran across it) so it is probably mostly POV, i.e., mine (and the people I browbeat to help me brainstorm.) However, I see where it might be more valuable if it were better defined...I listed all the characters from Devil's Rejects because I think being a crazy psycho who sleeps with dead people/rapes women is disgusting...but I think maybe the person who originally created the category, based on its original three entries, intended it to be more of a "gross-out" category (viz. Mr. Creosote). If there isn't any way to limit it in that fashion, it may be entirely too vague. I had fun, anyway.... -- Parcequilfaut 05:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Keep - Nathcer is correct. I also wonder if this is one of the rare, special instances where it would be appropriate to keep articles in both the subcategory (by language) and the parent, as is done for toll-bridges: the distinction is big enough to make a distinct category worthwhile, but the main category also has a very particular kind of coherence that would otherwise be lost. TheGrappler 20:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Comment: The reasoning behind this is to make these categories companions to any artificial satellites categories that may be created. I don't forsee anyone allowing the Hubble telescope or the International Space Station to be called artifical moons. This move was to differentiate between the natural satellites and the artificial ones. If those two items are allowed to be categorized in an artificial moon category, then these would need to be retitled to natural moons.

Shouldn't we be doing the same thing ( Category:Beer and breweries in Iowa, etc.) here? –  Swid ^{( talk |  edits)} 18:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • If you look at the articles in the U.S. categories they are almost all about the breweries nothing about the beers. When you consider the fact that many of these are microbreweries you can see that we are not likely to see many articles on the beers. So state specific lists of breweries would seem logical with the beers going under the larger Category:Beer and breweries in the United States. Vegaswikian 22:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Considering the vast number of article tha could be using this almost two year only category, to only have 50 articles, including 7 from Category:Atlanta AM stations nominated below. It would appear that splitting radio stations by frequency band doesn't seem to attact the interest of the radiophiles.

Atlanta is an anomaly among the U.S. radio station categories in that it splits the FM and AM stations into separate categories: Category:Atlanta AM stations and Category:Atlanta FM stations. As far as I can tell, this isn't being done with any other subset of the U.S. radio market, and merging together the two would produce a single category of 47 articles, which is not overly large. I'm not opposed to doing an AM/FM split if that's how the radiophiles want it, but that doesn't appear to be the case, so merge to bring in line with similar categories.

The Danube is not any river in Europe, it is the second longest in Europe, and the longest river in the European Union. The whole history, culture, traditions, significant geographic areas of certain countries along that river are connected to the Danube. The Danube is a major waterway in Europe. Anybody interested in European geography especially rivers would like to know which countries border that river. Having that template addresses all these issues.

The only "troubles" mentioned, all start when she's 18+, are not related to being a child star. So, essentially we have a negative unsourced claim, which violates WP:LIVING.

• Comment: Let's look at the latest description of the category "Child stars that have been involved in notable controversies such as involvement or alleged involvement in crime and/or drugs and alcohol later in life, or taking part in pornographic films.":
  • "alleged" => That's code for "We don't care if it's true. We'll happily spread rumors, gossip, and lies"
  • "later in life"=> Every actress who turns 18, and does an R-Rated movie with a typical sex scene can be added, under personal opinion of what's "porn". The fact they had no "trouble" as a child doesn't matter, they're still smeared by the category. This category is actually unrelated to people being a "child star" as the inclusion criteria isn't related to their time as a child.
  • "controversies"=> In other words, anything, and everything some tabloid mentions will count.
  • "alcohol"=> We're counting people who have alcohol problems as an *adult*. A celeb gets scene drunk once at a party, and they're included. -- Rob 07:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply
    • Rob, stop spreading disinformation -- "alleged" is because this is wikipedia, we don't have absolute truth. It's just like in the newspapers.

Guys I went through all the trouble to dig up child actors that have abused drugs or alcohol (typically a DUI), or been involved in some other crime, or pornography. These are the typical troubles that we hear about all the time (Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Dana Plato, Gary Coleman, MacCauly Culkin) but well organized and defined. Most people here don't seem to have even read the description of the category. "troubled" is a good summary for being addicted to cocaine or robbing convenience stores.

• Delete Wikipedia's category system should not cover every angle that is of public interest. Some things can be left to the relevant article ( child star and its links) and the tabloids. Chicheley 11:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete as hopelessly POV. Even underage drinking is hardly an indicator of "troubles" -- in some parts of Europe, it's an indicator of a well-adjusted teen. And what about some kid who spends years in psychotherapy but never commits a crime or resorts to self-medication? Isn't that child very troubled? -- M @ r ē ino 20:00, 18 July 2006 (UTC) reply

As no one signed the section above I have to assume that no one read the category page and these "delete" comments are uniformed. Justforasecond 16:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete The attempt at a clarifying definition on the category page and vehemenent defense of it here just makes it even more obviously POV. CovenantD 16:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Keep as redirect to Category:Anthracothorax, a type of hummingbird. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 00:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply

• Delete. If somebody actually typed Category:Mangoes in the search box, I would think they would be searching for the fruit. I don't think a category redirect is necessary. -- musicpvm 01:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC) reply
