- Propose renaming
Category:Sophomore albums to
Category:Second albums
- Nominator's Rationale: Delete; the use in articles of "sophomore" for albums is in any case deprecated as local slang, likely not to be understood outside North America (
Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/MUSTARD#Usage), but it's not clear to me that this is a useful category at all; the albums in it are connected only by an accidental feature.

- Delete - the members of this category have nothing in common beyond happening to be the second album released by an artist or group. The association is too loose to warrant a category.

Category:Second albums is a cat redirect to
Category:Sophomore albums. So are we proposing to undo that redirect? Maybe a delete is a better suggestion?

- Delete both Second album is a simple description of something, not a defining characteristic. Category seems way too broad, and would need to be split up. But that would raise the question of how? by year? by genre? As Otto pointed out, there resulting grouping of articles in these cats will have nothing in common. Too broad, overcategorization.-

- Do not change to "Second albums". I don't care whether this is deleted or not, but Second albums will beget Third albums, Fourth albums, and so on. We had a deletion debate (which I can't find) that eliminated all of those, and following this nomination will bring that back again.--05:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strong delete per Otto4711. Even the article
Debut album is now a redirect to
album, and even before its deletion
Debut album never contained anything more than a one-line intro and a selective list. If we can't sustain a decent head article on
Debut album, I don't see much scope for one on
Sophomore albums (or
Second albums), so this ends up just being categoridation by a trivial characteristic. I can see a reasonable case for retaining
Category:Debut albums, but I will nominate
Category:Final albums for deletion. --

- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, According to my understanding as a music fan of many years and, fortunately, according to the article
Songwriter too, a
composer writes music, a
lyricist writes lyrics, and a songwriter writes either or both. Since most of the people in this category are members of
Category:Songwriters and since the contents are songs (not lyrics, not music, but either or both) the category needs to be renamed. For the best logical arrangement we maybe ought to have 3 categories (by songwriter, by composer, by lyricist) but in the interests of avoiding over-categorisation I think renaming this category would be the best solution.

- Comment - I didn't originally choose that name, but I think it was probably done to distinguish it from
Category:Messianic Jews, i.e. people who are significant within the movement as opposed to people who just incidentally happen to be part of the movement (though notable for other reasons). That's why I retained it. Do you think your proposed name makes this clear? We can always add qualification to the category page, but the name itself should be descriptive. ⇔

- Ok, but this distinction is hardly observed in the choice of people in either category. Looking at both categories, I think the New Trestament period ones should be listified - it is hardly a defining characteristic of them, and the contemporary ones - Merge to

- Propose renaming
Category:Deprecated templates to
Category:Templates being deprecated
- Nominator's Rationale: Rename, This category currently maintains a large list of templates that are either no longer in use, or are being phased out of use. This strikes me as unnecessary - if a template isn't in use, then surely it should be passed through TfD and deleted? I can, however, see a use for a
Category:Templates being deprecated as a temporary holding place for templates while they're being replaced, before passing them through this page. The existing category already does this job to a large extent, hence this rename proposal rather than me creating a new category and later proposing this one for deletion. If this rename is successful, then I plan on running through the templates in the category and either redirecting the disused templates to their replacements, or nominating them for deletion here.
Mike Peel

- Weak Oppose. While I understand the logic behind this nomination, not all the templates in here (while orphaned) are ready for deletion. The category adequately describes the templates...they have been deprecated and should not be used, use XYZ alternative. We keep them around for awhile as (especially in the case of high-use templates) some people don't know there's a new template to be used. ^

- That makes sense for templates such as
Template:Boolne, which have a function replacement rather than a template replacement. However, I can't see any benefit in keeping templates such as
Template:Infobox City IE (as a random example) around for much longer than it takes to replace all of the existing usages. That template could be set as a redirect to its replacement template without an issue, or deleted altogether. I believe that having the category named as it is encourages people to use it as a graveyard for old templates such as these, rather than putting them through TfD. Having it named "templates being deprecated" (or better, "templates being decommissioned" as per kingboyk below) implies a transition rather than an end.
- Perhaps splitting the category into two would be better: "Templates being decommissioned" and "Templates replaced by functions".

- Oppose, the name is correct as it stands, and the suggested rename would be factually incorrect (they're not "being" deprecated, they are already deprecated). If there's a problem getting these cleaned up, then maybe it's time to start a cleanup project. Or tag the cat as backlogged. Or teach more people English, if people are truly under the misapprehension that these are "at an end".

Category:Religion are for the different religious faiths. This is very useful, and definitely one to keep; it has many parallels elsewhere in the category system, which I somehow hadn't spotted, such as
Category:Categories by province of Canada,
Category:Categories by country,

- Rename while limited in scope, there are subcats that are rather specific. Grouping comics together by graphic novel makes sense, so I would not support deleting that subcat. And since there are other articles in the topic, having the parent cat helps. So I'm only supporting to keep these cats by a small margin, because, as I said, they are limited in scope and small in number. But I feel the categorization is used in this case for more than navigation, and helps break up the bigger parent cats of comic book titles and fantasy comics.-
