Category:Nuclear power stations that had a significant accident ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

• Merge into Category:Civilian nuclear power accidents.
• Rationale: This category is inaptly-named and duplicates the purpose of an existing category. Notified creator with {{ cfd-notify}} Cgingold ( talk) 22:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Don't merge - Thanks for the notification. While my memory isn't 100% sharp on this, the apparent logic for having this category was because power stations were being listed in Category:Civilian nuclear power accidents. I found this misleading because the article isn't about the accident, it's about everything. I suppose it could be argued to include them, but I would say that if the accident was large enough to have its own article, then that would be among the Category:Civilian nuclear power accidents category, which would be fine, but listing the article about the power station seems like it could get out of hand because there is an entire spectrum of severity of accidents and you could easily add like 50% of the power plant articles out there too it. Anyway, it's not all that important, I'll leave the merge decision to the closing administrator. - Theanphibian ^{( talk • contribs)} 05:05, 26 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Delete: misleading name, not giving any context. The accidents in nuclear plant are precisely defined (not just being "significant"). The International Nuclear Event Scale is the proper place for the topic. Pavel Vozenilek ( talk) 09:33, 26 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Merge carefully per nom. "Significant" is in the eye of the beholder, also make sure that all the accidents were "nuclear" in nature, not some accident that happens at all sorts of industrial sites: steam burns, falls, car crashes. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 20:34, 29 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Nuclear compensations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

• Nominator´s rationale - Overcategorization: This oddly-named category was created for the sole article it contains. I spent a goodly amount of time adding needed categories to the article, so there is no concern in that regard. Notified creator with {{ cfd-notify}} Cgingold ( talk) 22:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Strong keep One can add other topics, as the 1997 Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage and the 1997 Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage, Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program [1], the U.K. Compensation Scheme for Radiation-Linked Diseases [2], Marshall Islands Nuclear Claims Tribunal [3], nuclear damage compensation law [4], Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, between others.-- Mac ( talk) 23:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Keep. --Nukeless 00:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I've been giving this some serious thought, but I've reached an impasse. On the one hand, the two articles that were added to the category pertain to civil liability for power plants, whereas the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act is about damages arising from nuclear weapons production by the government. Thats apples and oranges. Plus two of them are about US federal legislation, the other is an international accord. Apples and pears. On the other hand, it probably would be nice to have some sort of umbrella category for items like these, if only somebody could come up with the wording -- and the parent categories. This one probably should be relisted. Cgingold ( talk) 14:35, 31 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Suggest merging Category:Prelates by type to Category:Prelates

Nominator's rationale: Merge, Category has only a single, under-populated parent and itself contains no articles, only subcategories. Upmerge to parent would eliminate an unnecessary intermediate cat. Quale ( talk) 06:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply

I've been expanding the category, and see a lot of more articles and subcategories, that would not be rightly cataloged under the category:prelates and would be too extensive (in the long run) Stijn Calle ( talk) 10:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply

What are the "types" by which you're planning to categorize? -- Lquilter ( talk) 14:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply

What could possibly be correct categorized under "Prelates by type" that wouldn't be rightly cataloged under "Prelates" ???? "Prelates by type" is a subcat of "Prelates" so this makes no sense. The category has existed since May... Quale ( talk) 03:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment - this is a strange category tree. All the sub-categories appear to be Roman Catholic ones, but several people in the other branch (by nationality) appear to Lutheran, and in one Icelandic case not Christian. Bishops (and such like) will normally appear as such. "Prelates" seems to be a home for prominent abbots and other senior clergy. The subject needs to be more clearly defined. There may be a case for up-merging bith the Natioanlity and Type categories. Peterkingiron ( talk) 20:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Rename and relocate to Category:Roman Catholic titular prelates by type and as sub-cat of Category:Roman Catholic Prelatures respectively. Then it has a use. The creator has a tendency to over-create useless categories (they did all the apparitions, visionaries without approval etc etc a while back), but this one is salvageable.

Propose renaming Category:FSF/UNESCO to Category:Free Software Foundation and UNESCO

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Expand abbreviation for "FSF" per parent category Category:Free Software Foundation and main article Free Software Foundation. Don't expand UNESCO as parent category is Category:UNESCO and main article is UNESCO. Snocrates 08:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Rename per nom Johnbod ( talk) 10:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Delete; if not deleted, rename per nom - The category is an intersection that is apparently intended to capture free software (such as GIMP and Mozilla Firefox) that are or have been supported or recognized by UNESCO (the so-called " Free Software Directory, formerly named "FSF/UNESCO Directory"). As such, it is overcategorization by membership in a published list, basically -- UNESCO sponsorship or recognition is certainly not a defining element of the nine pieces of software included in the category. (Eclipse, GIMP, Gnuzilla, K3b, K9copy, Firefox, MySQL, OpenOffice, and OpenSSL are the 9 pieces of software categorized here. The tenth article in the category is the Free Software Directory which is sort of the head article, but it's lame.) Their position as part of the debate about various governmental/international entities sponsorship or promotion of free software is not a useful categorizing scheme. An article should be written that discusses this issue and links to relevant software -- there isn't such an article now. People who visit the category will note that it lists as main articles " FSF/UNESCO Directory", FSF and UNESCO. FSF/UNESCO Directory is a redirect to Free Software Directory, but that article is minimal and doesn't really address the significant aspects of this issue. (All that said, if somehow this category is kept, it should at least be spelled out.) -- Lquilter ( talk) 22:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Strong Delete and close. I started looking at the included articles. For the ones I looked at UNESCO is not mentioned and where FSE is, it is either a reference or a passing comment so the category should not apply to those articles. I could have continued to update manually, but simply delete and let the bot do the work. As used, from what I saw this category, this category is ambiguous not completely not defining.

Category:Lake Worth, Florida ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Category has two mainspace members, Lake Worth, Florida and Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church (Lake Worth). The latter is currently nominated for AfD as a WP:COATRACK. (See below) -- Donald Albury 03:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep. Brand new category. Large city in Palm Beach county. See the big picture here. This is a no-brainer despite the possibility of a disappearing church. No city in Palm Beach county has it's own category for reasons that are not known. As a result, all article defined have categories that are too far-reaching, such as "schools in Florida" or "Baptist churches in the south." Need local collectors to narrow these selections down early so they won't have to be changed later. Having said that, it's defining category may need to be changed to "Cities in Palm Beach County." Student7 ( talk) 17:42, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Rename to Category:Buildings and structures in Lake Worth, Florida. Being brand new is not in and of itself a reason to delete. However, a near empty category that does not have obvious articles that can be added is. I did some digging and found additional articles that could be included. Based on that I think a rename is the better choice. The radio station can be upmerged to the county cat and everything else should be OK. Vegaswikian ( talk) 20:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Delete not enough there to support a cat. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 01:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Suggest merging Category:Tata to Category:Tata Group

Nominator's rationale: Merge. To match the main article name. Vegaswikian ( talk) 23:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Merge as per nom. Sting_au Talk 23:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Merge as per nom at is makes more sense to have it with the appropriate/amtching name-- JForget 01:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Partial merging is ok, but not everything in Category:Tata belongs in Category:Tata Group. Tata Group is a company (or group of affiliated companies) and is not appropriate for current Tata subgroups Category:Tata institutions and Category:Tata family, and maybe not Category:Tata vehicles and Category:Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces. That doesn't leave much to merge. Appropriate handling for those needs to be determined. Also, Category:Tata Group currently belongs only to Category:Tata so Cat:Group needs a new parent. - R. S. Shaw ( talk) 06:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • OK, Category:Tata Group has a new parent so a deletion of Category:Tata will not create an orphan. Category:Tata vehicles and Category:Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces have main articles that list the owner as Tata Group so moving them under Category:Tata Group seems to clearly be a correct move. Category:Tata institutions and Category:Tata family may not have belonged in Category:Tata and I have updated those categories. In the case of the former, it looks like someone included this since one entry in the child category had something to do with Tata. As for the latter, it is for the name only and the other existing categories better cover the family. Vegaswikian ( talk) 00:21, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Keep as is now is which is rather different from before as I got so confused looking at them I have rearranged. The Taj hotels are a 100% subsidiary so should be under the group as they now are, also the vehicles. The whole thing should be linked & if we have a category called Tata it should include the family and the institutions, of wehich I think there are many more. Johnbod ( talk) 05:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Actually after dropping articles that were included in other categories, Category:Tata is now a container for things with the Tata name. I'm not sure if this is, or is not needed. Also Category:Tata now lists the parent cat as Category:Categories named after companies and it is not a company so if kept, a new parent would need to be found. I wonder now if deleting Category:Tata would be appropriate. Vegaswikian ( talk) 20:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment. After moving the people who work for the group into that category, Category:Tata now has three subcats that have the name in common. Is this sufficient reason to keep the category? While a merge may still be OK, maybe a delete is now the better choice? Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Keep This category has developed since originally nominated. The members of the Tata family own the group (of companies). They are not part of it. Similarly institutions, presumably endowed by the family, are not part of the group. This category should remain as a category of categories, probably without articels of its own.

Propose renaming Category:WelcomeBotResearch to Category:WelcomeResearch

Nominator's rationale: Rename. As discussed here this category name gives the false impression to users (me included)that welcome messages are being left by bots. In fact, the category is only being "used" (is it being used??) for research about welcoming, some of which could conceivably be bot-operated in the future.

Category:Bisexual American actors ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I'd like to rename this to Category:Bisexual actors from the United States. Currently almost all the occupation categories under the Category:LGBT people by occupation hierarchy are "LGBT widget makers from the United States", so this one stands out :) SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 04:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Bands with gay/bisexual members ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary intersection, likely WP:BLP nightmare. Existence of such categories is precluded by Wikipedia:Categorization/Gender, race and sexuality#Sexuality. MER-C 04:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Delete, but not for the nominator's reason. Intersections like this aren't forbidden, it just has to be notable. We already have Category:LGBT musicians, so this category is somewhat redundant. -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 04:43, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:North Dakota State Treasurers should be renamed Category:State treasurers of North Dakota to conform with the standard used in all other similarily-named categories. See Category:State treasurers of the United States for examples of what I am talking about. -- TommyBoy ( talk) 02:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment if the official title is "State Treasurer" then the name should be capitalized in the cat, i.e.: Category:State Treasurers of North Dakota. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 18:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Comment, In response to User:Carlossuarez46's comment, the reason the the first letter in "treasurer" is not capitalized in my renaming proposal is because I followed the standard established in the naming of all other similarly-named categories. If he wants to rename this category with the first letter in "treasurer" capitalized, then we would have to rename all other similarly-named categories which can be found in Category:State treasurers of the United States, which is wiki-linked in my previous comments on this discussion. -- TommyBoy ( talk) 19:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Response which would be appropriate in cases where the state's office is "State Treasurer" (I note for North Dakota, the article list has a capitalized "T", which again could be a mistake, but it seems consistent with the state government's own web site: here). Some "State treasurers" actually have some title other than state treasurer, if I recall from some prior discussion on this or a similar cat, so lower case is appropriate for them.

Category:WikiProject Mathematical and Computational Biology articles ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete apparently not an official WikiProject, until it is, if ever, categorization shouldn't occur. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 02:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• 4 people have signed onto User:Hendrik Fuß/WikiProject Mathematical and Computational Biology. If those people are interested in running it, it should probably become a task force of say WikiProject Biology, in which case a rename is in order. – Pomte 07:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Vice Presidents of the Russian Federation ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
