Delete - This seems a very vague category. The album The Dark Side of the Moon spent over 14 years on the Billboard Top 200. Does that mean it was "current" for those 14 years? Also, based on the description, the category requires near-constant adding/subtracting of the category from individual album articles as they enter/exit album charts.

Really a duplication of Roman Catholics by occupation which already had included most of the categories that were here and others like this. Also if kept this would need to be renamed to Category:Roman Catholic religious people or a similar name. Better to delete and create a better named subcat in Category:Roman Catholics if it is needed. The remaining entry could go into that new category if created or into Category:Roman Catholics.

Not clear and not useful. Most British books are somewhat adapted for American readers. Whether this is "translation" or not is a very interesting question that can lead to fascinating discussion, but category space is not the place to do so. I suggest replacing this with an article and annotated list.-- woggly 18:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete If not deleted rename to something less POV like Category:British English books with linguistically altered American English editions. (Not that I am saying that is an ideal category name.) Olborne 18:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but rename When creating the category I didn't think there would actually be people who considered 'translation' to be POV. However, I wouldn't mind a more objective title. Woggly, your claim that most British books are tranlated to American isn't true. I did a fair bit of research before creating the category and the amount of 'translated' books is actually a lot less than is widely believed. About your 'not useful' statement: judgeing by the amount of "is the American edition different from the original" questions in talk pages of book articles it's very useful - which is why I created it. MrTroy 18:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
    • As someone who works in the publishing business, my experience has been that this phenomenon is MUCH more widespread than generally assumed. I can name half a dozen books off the top of my head that have undergone this kind of treatment, and these would only be books that I've had recent dealings with. Often it's just changing standardized spellings or a word here or there, such as "trash can" to "rubbish bin"; sometimes adding a glossary; sometimes changing the title to something more marketable; sometimes more insidious changes, like requiring authors to excise the word "evolution" from American editions (I heard about this from Elizabeth Kaye, author of "The Divide" series). The opposite also happens: American books are adjusted for the British public. I'm not trying to downplay the phenomenon. What I'm saying is that the criteria for inclusion in this category are unclearly defined, and if one were to use broad definitions, would be applicable to too many books for this to be a useful category. For no book will it be simple to make a clearcut ruling. It's not a binary "yes" or "no" sort of thing. Different books undergo slightly different forms of adaptation. I forsee much arguing about semantics. I think it would be more useful to create an article discussing this type of "translation" and discussing certain examples on a case by case basis. This would be better than branding individual books with an unclear category, without explanation. -- woggly 19:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
      • Hmm, you've got a point there. I'll add an explanation to the category page. Not to bypass this deletion discussion, but to give the category a fair chance. MrTroy 19:18, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This isn't a useful category. The phenomenon could be discussed in an article with examples, but I don't see what is gained by being able to look them up (and getting citations for inclusion would be messy). -- Dhartung | Talk 19:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
    • I just added an explanation to the category page. I don't see how it's 'messy'. It should be quite clear now what is meant. MrTroy 19:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, and create an article about the phenomenum with a list of titles. -- Samuel Wantman 05:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I don't see why a "list of..." article would be more practical than this. I think it would only be less practical:
    • You would need to add all titles by hand
    • In every article about a translated book you would need to add a paragraph about "this book has been translated, see [list of...]" instead of just adding [category:...] to it
    • "List of..." articles are actually discouraged by the guideline, saying something to the extent of "we have categories for that"... MrTroy 08:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Make into a supercat or otherwise Delete. When I originally saw this category had been created I wondered on its talk page exactly what it was for, but I thought I'd give it a chance. The only real argument in favour of this category is that of the "Single Passport" allowing a bank in one EU country to freely operate in another on the basis of home country authorisation, I would argue that one potentially useful purpose for this category would be to include only firms which are taking advantage of this provision. Effectively there are 25 regulators who can authorise banks to operate within the boundaries of the EU, however the reality on the ground is that most cross border institutions operate with subsidiaries, eg Grupo Santander and Abbey, or UniCredit and HVB, but increasingly firms are choosing to use the same legal entity to trade in more than one member state, eg Dexia and Nordea (take a look at the 9 "Banks of foo" categories which are attached to this one...) Hmm. Ian3055 23:43, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • The effect is much greater within the EU than outside it, however whilst the effect for retail consumers remains muted this doesnt add much, and when such operation does become more widespread maintaining individual country categories will almost certainly be more effective. I'll get round to writing Banking in the European Union at some stage to cover the ground. Apologies for the extended pondering time...!! Ian3055 23:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC) reply

The word "notable" seems to be a reliable indicator that a category is a bad idea. The article on which I found this category made no reference to the subject's religion. A system of categories for Roman Catholics by country is developing, so this category can first be merged into Category:Roman Catholics and then the articles can be reallocated on a national basis as appropriate. Since all non-lay Catholics will belong in a category for bishops, priests, monks nuns etc other ";Catholics" are lay by exclusion (or at least that will work when the category system is mature). Another problem with the present category is that it is intended to be for Roman Catholics but not all Catholics are Roman Catholics. Chicheley 00:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Delete - This seems a very vague category. The album The Dark Side of the Moon spent over 14 years on the Billboard Top 200. Does that mean it was "current" for those 14 years?

Not clear and not useful. Most British books are somewhat adapted for American readers. Whether this is "translation" or not is a very interesting question that can lead to fascinating discussion, but category space is not the place to do so. I suggest replacing this with an article and annotated list.-- woggly 18:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete If not deleted rename to something less POV like Category:British English books with linguistically altered American English editions. (Not that I am saying that is an ideal category name.) Olborne 18:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but rename When creating the category I didn't think there would actually be people who considered 'translation' to be POV. However, I wouldn't mind a more objective title. Woggly, your claim that most British books are tranlated to American isn't true. I did a fair bit of research before creating the category and the amount of 'translated' books is actually a lot less than is widely believed. About your 'not useful' statement: judgeing by the amount of "is the American edition different from the original" questions in talk pages of book articles it's very useful - which is why I created it. MrTroy 18:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
    • As someone who works in the publishing business, my experience has been that this phenomenon is MUCH more widespread than generally assumed. I can name half a dozen books off the top of my head that have undergone this kind of treatment, and these would only be books that I've had recent dealings with. Often it's just changing standardized spellings or a word here or there, such as "trash can" to "rubbish bin"; sometimes adding a glossary; sometimes changing the title to something more marketable; sometimes more insidious changes, like requiring authors to excise the word "evolution" from American editions (I heard about this from Elizabeth Kaye, author of "The Divide" series). The opposite also happens: American books are adjusted for the British public. I'm not trying to downplay the phenomenon. What I'm saying is that the criteria for inclusion in this category are unclearly defined, and if one were to use broad definitions, would be applicable to too many books for this to be a useful category. For no book will it be simple to make a clearcut ruling. It's not a binary "yes" or "no" sort of thing. Different books undergo slightly different forms of adaptation. I forsee much arguing about semantics. I think it would be more useful to create an article discussing this type of "translation" and discussing certain examples on a case by case basis. This would be better than branding individual books with an unclear category, without explanation. -- woggly 19:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
      • Hmm, you've got a point there. I'll add an explanation to the category page. Not to bypass this deletion discussion, but to give the category a fair chance. MrTroy 19:18, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This isn't a useful category. The phenomenon could be discussed in an article with examples, but I don't see what is gained by being able to look them up (and getting citations for inclusion would be messy). -- Dhartung | Talk 19:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
    • I just added an explanation to the category page. I don't see how it's 'messy'. It should be quite clear now what is meant. MrTroy 19:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, and create an article about the phenomenum with a list of titles. -- Samuel Wantman 05:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I don't see why a "list of..." article would be more practical than this. I think it would only be less practical:
    • You would need to add all titles by hand
    • In every article about a translated book you would need to add a paragraph about "this book has been translated, see [list of...]" instead of just adding [category:...] to it

  • Weak keep, not sure I really buy the nominator's argument. It seems to me there are several articles that would be well at home in this category: EU financial institutions (e.g. European Central Bank, European Investment Bank, etc.), the central banks of European Union countries (e.g. Bank of England, Banque de France, etc.), and private sector banks defined by their operations within Europe (e.g. HSBC Bank (Europe)). --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\ talk 15:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Make into a supercat or otherwise Delete. When I originally saw this category had been created I wondered on its talk page exactly what it was for, but I thought I'd give it a chance. The only real argument in favour of this category is that of the "Single Passport" allowing a bank in one EU country to freely operate in another on the basis of home country authorisation, I would argue that one potentially useful purpose for this category would be to include only firms which are taking advantage of this provision. Effectively there are 25 regulators who can authorise banks to operate within the boundaries of the EU, however the reality on the ground is that most cross border institutions operate with subsidiaries, eg Grupo Santander and Abbey, or UniCredit and HVB, but increasingly firms are choosing to use the same legal entity to trade in more than one member state, eg Dexia and Nordea (take a look at the 9 "Banks of foo" categories which are attached to this one...) Hmm. Ian3055 23:43, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
  • The effect is much greater within the EU than outside it, however whilst the effect for retail consumers remains muted this doesnt add much, and when such operation does become more widespread maintaining individual country categories will almost certainly be more effective. I'll get round to writing Banking in the European Union at some stage to cover the ground. Apologies for the extended pondering time...!! Ian3055 23:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. Technically correct, but then should be a supercat of EU members. Not very useful or maintainable as a changeable cat of banks operating in >1 EU country. International banking agreements under the WTO, G8, NAFTA, etc. erase borders but keeping track of such things is best left to articles on the individual banks. -- Dhartung | Talk 02:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC) reply

    • Comment. I can see why it's a good idea, but where is it a policy (or guideline)? There are certainly many categories with "current" and "former" in the name, including Category:Current members of the United States House of Representatives. California has more representatives than anyone else and so does the cat, which is now at 201 (next highest: 117), and this seems like a reasonable split approach.

The word "notable" seems to be a reliable indicator that a category is a bad idea. The article on which I found this category made no reference to the subject's religion. A system of categories for Roman Catholics by country is developing, so this category can first be merged into Category:Roman Catholics and then the articles can be reallocated on a national basis as appropriate. Since all non-lay Catholics will belong in a category for bishops, priests, monks nuns etc other ";Catholics" are lay by exclusion (or at least that will work when the category system is mature). Another problem with the present category is that it is intended to be for Roman Catholics but not all Catholics are Roman Catholics. Chicheley 00:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC) reply
