Propose renaming Category:Bhutto to Category:Bhutto family

The result of the debate was no consensus. There's definitely no consensus to delete, and no strong consensus on the rename.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 02:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Conspiracy theorists ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: If this category isn't a BLP violation, then nothing is. Furthermore, it's difficult to see how it could be consistent with WP:NPOV. If someone has been called a conspiracy theorist in a reliable source, or this is a part of their public persona, it can be discussed in the article in a neutral and sourced manner. But, by putting someone in this category, we are declaring in the encyclopedic voice that they are conspiracy theorists, which violates Wikipedia policies on neutrality. *** Crotalus *** 18:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply

The result of the debate was rename to Category:Bishops of the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 02:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:CPCA bishops to Category:Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association bishops
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Expand the abbreviation. Would have nominated this for a speedy rename under the fifth speedy criteria except CPCA isn't a country. Caerwine Caer’s whines 17:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
Further note, CPCA can also refer to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America although I doubt they have bishops. Caerwine Caer’s whines 17:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
Or that, which is probably clearer. Johnbod ( talk) 21:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply

The result of the debate was Keep. JERRY talk contribs 16:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Bangladeshi Nobel laureates ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Awardee by country seems over categorization. Besides it has only 2 articles with very limited potentioan of growth. Arman ( Talk) 09:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
Nominator is one himself. Johnbod ( talk) 16:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: how about the subcategory Category:Bengali Nobel laureates? The "wider scheme" of categorization by nationality makes sense, but what's with this category by ethnicity (which, at the moment, seems to contain two Bengalis of Indian nationality and only one of Bangladeshi nationality, despite being a subcat of Category:Bangladeshi Nobel laureates)? -- Stormie ( talk) 19:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - A Nobel prize is a very exceptional honour and deserves a national category. The one person in it Muhammad Yunus (with his bank) does belong. There is a problem with the Bengali category: one of its members died before partition and the other is an Indian national. Bangladesh was East Bengal. The other two are from West Bengal or pre-partition Inida. I would suggest (to provide duplication) that Bengali categories should relate to pre-partition India or modern West Bengal. However perhaps there are some Bangladeshi Wikipedians who would like to express a view on this. This is an issue that cannot be resolved in this debate. Peterkingiron ( talk) 23:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Keep part of a scheme and Nobel prizes are top rank awards not OCAT. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 00:29, 1 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Recent books ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Created along with {{ recent book}} despite the template currently being up for deletion. Purely arbitrary and unnecessary category that does nothing but increase the work load for editors. Yet another attempt to get around the deletion of the current fiction and spoiler templates.

Category:Recent films ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Created along with the {{ recent film}} template which is up for deletion. Completely useless category that would serve no purpose other than to up the work load and is far to arbitrary (define "recent" film). Collectonian ( talk) 04:44, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. It is POV and ambiguous. Is it really defining? It also would require constant updating and maintenance which is not a good idea. Vegaswikian ( talk) 06:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete since such a category would require extraneous maintenance as films come and go throughout the months and years, not to mention the overly flexible definition of what constitutes "recent" in terms of international releases, re-releases, home media releases, et cetera. In addition, the category's purpose seems to detract from Wikipedia's goal by being a form of news -- there are plenty of websites that indicate the film of the week, and there's no encyclopedic benefit on Wikipedia from such a task. — Erik ( talkcontrib) - 06:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. We do not define as recent. Doczilla ( talk) 08:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Fictional comics to Category:Metafictional comics
Nominator's rationale: Rename because a nonexistent work of fiction that is referenced within an actual work of fiction is, by definition, metafictional. Doczilla ( talk) 01:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
