Category:Albums recorded at Indigo Ranch (

- Nominator's rationale: Delete - there is no Category:Albums by recording venue structure, for good reason, since the recording location is rarely, if ever, defining of the album itself (see Chronological list of recordings made at Abbey Road Studios for the approach taken for a much more notable recording studio). Such a structure would add further category clutter to album articles, particularly as some albums are recorded in multiple locations depending on artiste availability. Indigo Ranch is, at the time of writing, a redlink, so the information can't be added to that article. Bencherlite Talk 23:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Comment This category is placed in Category:Ambassadors of Russia and Category:Ambassadors to the United States, joining the two would give you Ambassadors of Russia to the United States. There is a difference with these categories, in relation to say Category:Russian actors, because in diplomatic terms the titles aren't Russian ambassador but Ambassador of Russia, as it isn't their nationality or ethnicity which is the qualifier, but the State which they are representing. Take Philipp von Brunnow, that's a German name if ever I saw one, and yes, he was German, not Russian, yet he was an Ambassador of Russia. Additionally, in terms of briefness, the suggested category rename is 1 character more than the current category. -- Россавиа Диалог 19:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Russian and Soviet ambassadors to the United Nations to Category:Ambassadors of the Soviet Union to the United Nations
- Nominator's rationale: I have created Category:Ambassadors of Russia to the United Nations for those ambassadors who are/were reps of Russia to the UN. The Soviet Union and Russia are not the same entity, and this renaming goes to furthering the separation of "Russian and Soviet" categories. The suggested name is inline with Category:Ambassadors of the Soviet Union and Category:Ambassadors to the United Nations Россавиа Диалог 21:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Rename to Category:Soviet ambassadors to the United Nations per Otto. Problem is we have Category:Ambassadors by country of origin (Ambassadors of Foo) but Category:Diplomats by nationality (Fooian diplomats).

- Convert to article Category:Ancient African Kingdom to article Ancient African kingdoms or any better ideas
- Nominator's rationale: Misplaced article in category space. Bencherlite Talk 18:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Convert per nom. "Ancient" seems wrong, as some go up to the C18 at least, though some are BCE. Pre-modern sub-Saharan African kingdoms is a bit of a mouthful, but seems to cover the ground. There would be a case for merging into History of Africa, which covers these pretty briskly. Johnbod ( talk) 14:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Move the text to an article (as nom), which should then perhaps be the main article for this category. However, the content seems to relate to certain kingdoms of west Africa; the suggested article name thus needs to be reconsidered. Then rename to Category:Ancient African kingdoms to fit convention.

- The subcategories gather the articles in the subcategories. The parent category isn't needed to gather them again. The main article also gathers the material through links to the contents of the subcategories so again the parent category is not needed.

- No, "by" is more accurate. To show more clearly: "Templates of airlines by country".
- The problem is that from what I can tell, "templates" is usually the "last word" in such names. So, if so, then Category:Airlines by country templates would seem to be the correct name.

- Nominator's rationale: Delete - there is no Category:Albums by recording venue structure, for good reason, since the recording location is rarely, if ever, defining of the album itself (see Chronological list of recordings made at Abbey Road Studios for the approach taken for a much more notable recording studio). Such a structure would add further category clutter to album articles, particularly as some albums are recorded in multiple locations depending on artiste availability. Indigo Ranch is, at the time of writing, a redlink, so the information can't be added to that article. Bencherlite Talk 23:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Convert per nom. "Ancient" seems wrong, as some go up to the C18 at least, though some are BCE. Pre-modern sub-Saharan African kingdoms is a bit of a mouthful, but seems to cover the ground. There would be a case for merging into History of Africa, which covers these pretty briskly. Johnbod ( talk) 14:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Move the text to an article (as nom), which should then perhaps be the main article for this category.

- Nominator's rationale: Delete as eponymous overcategorization - the material is sufficiently linked through the main article Jordin Sparks and {{ Jordin Sparks}}. Note: category had two songs in it that were already in the songs sub-category, which I removed from the head category for being duplicative categorization prior to this nomination.

- Remark It is difficult to discuss an empty category (emptied today by user:Lyonscc). I'm not sure that 'Criticism of XXXX' always falls under WP:OCAT#OPINION. -- roundhouse0 ( talk) 15:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: It does not always, but the creator of the cat User:Romans9:11 and the emptier of the cat User:Lyonscc agreed with me that this one does as it was applied (see Category_talk:Criticism of Calvinism). -- Flex ( talk/ contribs) 16:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - no strong opinion, I merely note that an extensive Category:Criticism of religion tree exists. Otto4711 ( talk) 16:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Agreed. I don't think this one is out of line in principle, just that there are no articles in it at present (by consent of the creator who added a number to it) and none that I know of that would pass WP:OCAT#OPINION. -- Flex ( talk/ contribs) 16:20, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Does a band really need their own category, containing nothing but said band's article, songs, and a link to a related guitar? I thought that was what "See also" sections were for. Vianello ( talk) 06:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - The category's creator didn't finish the job -- so I gave it a proper parent cat ( Category:Categories named after musicians), as well as adding Category:The Everly Brothers albums and another article. That means it now has 2 sub-cats and 3 articles -- just a tad short of what Category:Burden Brothers and Category:Allman Brothers have got. Cgingold ( talk) 08:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Delete, the children of one of the Brothers shouldn't be categorized under the band's category, and the guitar is mentioned in the article about the band and vice versa. Overcategorization by name, per multiple precedents. Bencherlite Talk 08:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Note: I added Edan Everly specifically because he has performed with them; I left out his sister because there was nothing in the article to suggest that she has performed with them. Cgingold ( talk) 03:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Keep – the purpose of a category is to collect related articles together, and this collects together the items contained in the subcategories. By all means rename to 'Items related to The Everly Brothers' (as 'eponymous' categories seem to be allowed only to a few Greats, chosen in what appears to me to be a wholly arbitrary fashion). -- roundhouse0 ( talk) 08:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- The subcategories gather the articles in the subcategories. The parent category isn't needed to gather them again. The main article also gathers the material through links to the contents of the subcategories so again the parent category is not needed. This material is not so complex that an eponymous category is warranted for it. Otto4711 ( talk) 10:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

- comment so far, no valid reason has been advanced as to why this category should be deleted. One editor said one could find the subcats by looking in the main article. This is factually untrue. The article does not reference these categories. Hmains ( talk) 02:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

- No, "by" is more accurate. To show more clearly: "Templates of airlines by country".
- The problem is that from what I can tell, "templates" is usually the "last word" in such names. So, if so, then Category:Airlines by country templates would seem to be the correct name.
- And, if I had to choose, I'm also am not a fan of the quotes in the name, for various reasons. -
