Suggest merging Category:Television personalities by nationality to Category:Television presenters by nationality

Nominator's rationale: Merge. We currently have two very similar "by country" categories, one for TV presenters and one for TV "personalities". The latter is somewhat subjective (although by " television personality" I guess we mean "celebrity", that's where the article is anyway). It's also broader, but arguably too broad as it could include anybody who appears on TV. The problem is somewhat compounded by some countries having subcategories in both (e.g. Australia) and some having only "TV personalities" (Canada).

Having a category for anybody who appears on TV seems too broad to me, and I'm not seeing any value in maintaining both these categories. Therefore my proposal is to merge the two and to rename all subcategories to "presenters". I appreciate however that this is another difficult one, and it could result in an amount of miscategorisation in shorter than the long term, so I'm keen to hear other opinions. kingboyk ( talk) 18:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Oppose. These are not the same. Presenters has been discussed in the past and presenters are their only unique group. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Presenters are unique, yes. But, some presenters are being placed in that category and some in personalities. If personalities was a high level category containing more specific subcategories - including presenters - it might not be so bad; but right now all we have is a mishmash of categories which contain mostly the same things. -- kingboyk ( talk) 22:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply
    • The fact that some presenters may be winding up in the wrong category does not justify moving the vast majority who are correctly classified into a category that is totally inappropriate for them. Most of these simply are not presenters which has a very specific connotation in the countries that use it. Vegaswikian ( talk) 00:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply
      • As below, language differences do not excuse category overlap. Secondly, a "television personality" is a "celebrity" == everybody on TV. The scope is too large unless the category contains only subcategories of types of TV personality, of which presenter is one.-- kingboyk ( talk) 00:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Oppose - not all television personalities are presenters and "presenters" is far from universally used. I don't recall ever hearing an American TV host referred to in American media as a "presenter." "Presented by" in America usually means "sponsored by" as in the commercial sponsors of the show. Otto4711 ( talk) 00:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Regional differences in language are no justification for having near duplicate categories! Why should a reader have to look in "TV personalities" to find a Canadian TV presenter and in "TV presenters" to find a Brit doing the same job?! -- kingboyk ( talk) 00:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Again, not all "television personalities" are "television presenters." Merging the categories will result in people being miscategorized. Otto4711 ( talk) 01:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Or we could switch all of these to the US usage which seems to be clearer about the various types of hosts. Vegaswikian ( talk) 08:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Suggest merging Category:Buffyverse, Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Category:Angel (TV series) to Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel

Nominator's rationale: I wrote the following on WT:CFD but got no response, so I am bringing my best idea for discussion here. If you have a better idea (or think the current category scheme is fine) please speak up :)

"The Buffyverse" is a slang term for the fictional universe of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. These two shows have more in common than differences.

Currently, we have a Category:Buffyverse (slang, a mishmash of articles and subcategories); and below it we have a Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Category:Angel (TV series). I'm finding this messy and confusing; the overlap between the shows makes good categorisation difficult and what we have at the moment sure doesn't look good to me. -- kingboyk ( talk) 18:03, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm wondering if anyone can come up with a better scheme for this, and put it through CFD. The best I can think of is to merge and delete all 3 categories into a new Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. -- kingboyk ( talk) 19:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Mergeto Buffyverse - Buffyverse is used, and is the title of books, and the category already exists. 132.205.99.122 ( talk) 20:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply
• Whetever else happens, oppose the name Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. I don't really see a huge problem with keeping all three categories. If they're "messy" then clean them up. But if there is consensus to merge then Buffyverse is the best choice as it encompasses both series. Otto4711 ( talk) 00:39, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• FYI: Buffyverse is slang, albeit quite widely used slang. The official title of the series are (1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer and (2) Angel.-- kingboyk ( talk) 00:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Yes, thank you, I am aware of the origin of the term. The fact that it originated as slang does not mean that it can't now be used as a category title, especially in light of its extensive use in books and scholarship. I am also aware of the correct names of the two series. There is not, however, a series called Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel which is another argument against a truly awful suggestion. Otto4711 ( talk) 01:09, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• (1) Agree with Otto4711 on the proposed category name. (2) Conceptually with two series in a shared universe the category structure seems fine to me. The problem described sounds like a clean-up problem not a conceptual problem. However, if these 3 categories need to be merged then either "Buffyverse" or something else named after the originating show could work (e.g., "Buffy the Vampire Slayer (fictional universe)"). "Buffyverse" is concise and has name recognition, which is worth a lot. (3) As for "slang", that just means words someone doesn't like. Wikipedia should use what is commonly used and what is clear and understandable. "Buffyverse" seems perfectly acceptable to me. -- Lquilter ( talk) 12:15, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Puleeeze delete. This looks to be very nearly "Females I've heard of and like." Someone must like swimming and track, but not golf or basketball. And someone must like games and science-fiction, but not novels. The "recentism" here is clear: Aaliyah and Alicia but no Aretha; Amanda Beard and Natalie Coughlin but no Janet Evans; Marion Jones who's been stripped of her times and medals but no Wilma Rudolph. The inherent selection bias by current popular culture does a disservice to women looking for '"heroes": no Jody Williams, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mother Teresa, Clara Barton, Grace Hopper, ... I'm very sympathetic to your idea of drawing attention to admirable women, but there is probably no reasonable way to do a "My female heroes".

The result of the debate was rename all to "Category:Road accident deaths in Foo" format. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming the daughters of Category:Road accident victims by location

Nominator's rationale: The following categories are all subcategories of Category:Road accident victims by location. As the title indicates, these categories sort the deceased by the location of the accident. But the current format, Fooian road accident victims, could give the impression that they are sorted by nationality of the victims. This could cause confusion. The Danish rapper and reggae singer Natasja Saad, for instance, is listed in Category:Jamaican road accident victims. So is she a Jamaican victim of a road accident, or is she the victim of a Jamaican road accident? The latter, but it doesn't become clear from the title. For this reason, I nominate the following categories for renaming:

• Category:American road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in the United States
• Category:Argentine road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Argentina
• Category:Australian road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Australia
• Category:Brazilian road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Brazil
• Category:British road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in the United Kingdom
• Category:Bulgarian road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Bulgaria
• Category:Canadian road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Canada
• Category:Cuban road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Cuba
• Category:Czech road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in the Czech Republic
• Category:Egyptian road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Egypt
• Category:French road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in France
• Category:German road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Germany
• Category:Greek road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Greece
• Category:Indian road accident deaths to Category:Victims of road accidents in India
• Category:Iranian road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Iran
• Category:Irish road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in the Republic of Ireland

• Category:Jamaican road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Jamaica
• Category:Kenyan road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Kenya
• Category:Mexican road accident victims‎ to Category:Victims of road accidents in Mexico

The result of the debate was rename Category:Steam trucks to Category:Steam road vehicles. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Steam trucks to Category:Steam lorries

Nominator's rationale: While it is true that "lorry" and "truck" are often seen as interchangeable terms, that is not true of the "Steam lorry". The term "Steam truck" is relatively absent from usage. I simply named the category poorly when creating it, to reflect the minority, not the majority usage. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 13:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Rename per nom. I did some 'research' on this back in February (see Talk:Truck#Steam_Lorry_Naming) which confirmed my suspicions that the term 'steam lorry' was more prevalent than 'steam truck' (11800 vs 757 g-hits). EdJogg ( talk) 15:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Question Your research could be read to imply that the name of this category should become "Steam wagons" because this is the greatest number of Ghits (etc). I assume your comments about "overtype" etc mean that a wagon is substantially different from a lorry, and that the right categorisation is for steam lorries? While you make this clear in your response here there is scope for a non subject specialist to make the assumption that wagons are the most correct.

• Rename to Category:Steam wagon per Timtrent. 132.205.99.122 ( talk) 20:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment Actually I absolutely do not mean rename this to Steam wagon. I would oppose that. The proposal is to rename it to Steam lorries, and that I endorse. I simply asked EdJogg to show why his research genuinely does not indicate that it should become Steam Wagon. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 21:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Is this a US/UK thing? Is there a main article? Would Category:Steam lorries and wagons work? Johnbod ( talk) 23:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• It's not exactly a US/UK thing, that is it is not a linguistics thing. It appears that, with steam road transport, the USA created steam cars and the UK created steam lorries (a generalisation, but one that appears to hold good). A steam Wagon appears to be an altogether differently architected beast, with its heritage in Road Locomotives - steam traction engines. The difference is not as subtle as it first appears. The lorry tends to have a substantially "neater" motive power arrangement than the wagon (boiler and all the way to final drive). I'd see the category that you suggest as a parent category that then held two subcats, one for lorries and the other for wagons. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 23:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

QED? Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 22:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment OK, here's my input. I'm not an expert in steam road vehicles, but I have a definite interest in the subject, and there seem to be precious few of us editing WP!!

As stated in my research, 'steam wagon' was typically used for the 'overtype' vehicles, which were the earlier designs that borrowed technology and layout from traction engines. The 'undertype' vehicles arrived later and were much more akin to lorries as we know them today. The 'research' does indeed show that 'steam wagon' is the most common term, but this may be because Sentinel called their vehicles 'steam waggons' (two 'g's), even though they were undertype, and clearly 'lorries'.

I had not yet created a category for these vehicles as I had not really started adding much content (NB there is a little scope for Category:Steam lorry manufacturers, or similar...) It will be some time before there is adequate content to support both Category:Steam wagons and Category:Steam lorries, but either would be better than Category:Steam trucks. Personally I would prefer 'lorries', but if other reviewers feel that 'wagons' would be a more likely search term, then so be it.

Incidentally, there is not, as yet, a main article on the subject. There is small coverage under Truck, and a little more under Traction engine (from where it is intended to spawn a new article -- this is a long-term goal!) but no separate article. I have (my own) pictures of twenty-plus steam lorries and wagons, but my reference material is rather short on the subject.
