Listify Nominator's rationale: Shimuzu Commercial is a high school famous for turning out footballers and this list is of importance to Football in Japan, but category pages form "networks" (not the right word, exactly) and to keep this page would justify having like pages for each high school, for each sport, very much overcategorization Mayumashu ( talk) 23:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Having 3 subcategories containing articles directly related to the person (for albums, videos, and songs) seems like a great reason in this case to have an "eponymous category" as it "make[s] it easy for users to browse through similar articles.": see CAT guideline #1. This reminds me a bit of the recent Shania Twain CFD. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • The Shania Twain category has more than twice the material that this one does. Otto4711 ( talk) 14:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Roy Orbison along with his associated template serve as an appropriate navigational hub. The material pertaining to Orbison is not so complex that it can't and isn't easily interlinked through his article (which includes links to his discography and other associated articles in addition to the aforementioned template) and no one interested in Orbison and his material is going to have any difficulty getting to it through his article. Hundreds of similar categories for musicians, actors, politicians, etc. have been deleted and this is no different from them. Otto4711 ( talk) 22:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The category gives a good starting place to the subcategories. Further there's no rule against categories being named for musicians, see Category:Categories named after musicians.-- T. Anthony ( talk) 11:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Actually we have been following that guideline fairly strictly, since well over 200 eponymous categories for musicians have been deleted in the last year. All of Orbison's songs are linked through the main article through the link to Roy Orbison discography and the videos are linked as well. So is Barbara's article. Otto4711 ( talk) 09:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Category:Female golfers ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We don't usually categorize by gender, and there is no corresponding Category:Male golfers. If the Golfers By Tour category is sufficient to identify male golfers, it should work just as well for female golfers. Powers T 16:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
Comment: It seems to be well populated. Also there are multiple categories for female athletes in Category:Sportswomen by sport ( Guyinblack25 talk 17:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)) reply
  • Keep. We generally have a separate category for sportswomen when it's a sport where men and women usually compete separately, as in golf. I can't imagine how not having a separate category for women would make browsing or finding articles about specific golfers more easy. (OK, that's a lot of double-negative-mixed-with-comparatives grammar-wise, but hopefully you can get my meaning...) Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • There are a lot of possible categorizations we don't use despite the fact that they would make browsing easier. Also, if categorization by gender is desirable, why is there no Category:Male golfers? Powers T 23:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • I'm just saying — this category is consistent the structure of other sportspeople category structures, and I personally find the distinction helpful. There are many ways that women golfers differ than male golfers, so a categorization scheme that differentiates between the two seems reasonable and I see no compelling reason to delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep and suggest that there be cat pages for both genders equally for all sports (but not all occupations, unless, as with most sports (equestrian being one exception), they are done in a gender separate capacity Mayumashu ( talk) 23:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Golf is a gendered sport, and this category reflects the way that the sport organises itself. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Well I could understand the category as a supercategory for the various women's tour categories, but it still seems redundant with the tour categories to place individual golfers here. Powers T 14:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • If articles should be moved to appropriate gendered subcats, then go ahead and do that per WP:SUBCAT. But failure to move articles to sub-categories is no reason to delete the category. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 17:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
        • Well that's a possible solution at which I arrived after seeing the opposition to my original proposal, not the original reason behind my proposal. Powers T 17:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, as golf is a gendered sport, and as a subcat of Category:Sportswomen by sport. (It would seem reasonable to have the parallel system Sportsmen by sport.) -- roundhouse0 ( talk) 13:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Tennis is a gendered sport too, but we don't categorize by gender there. Powers T 14:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. We do categorise by gender if an occupation is dominated by a single gender, and the vast majority of well-known golfers are male. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • I'm not sure about the "vast" majority, but all right -- still, though, we don't have gender subcategories for Category:Football (soccer) players, Category:Players of American football, Category:Cheerleaders, or Category:Jockeys, all of which are dominated by a single gender. Powers T 14:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • Striking soccer; missed it the first go-round. Powers T 14:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
        • If there are male cheerleaders or female American football players then we should indeed have categories for them. We should certainly have a Category:Female jockeys. The point is to highlight people from the other gender in a field dominated by one gender. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 15:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
          • And how do we determine domination? For example, while the average Joe on the street might be able to name more male golfers than female golfers, I would argue that the numbers are not overwhelming in either direction (comparable to tennis, ice skating, or gymnastics, I would say; the average Joe on the street could name far more female gymnasts than male gymnasts, but that doesn't mean we need Category:Male gymnasts). Powers T 15:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
            • I disagree. When we see golf on television what we see is almost invariably male golf (if we choose to watch such a tedious "sport" in the first place). That is not the case with, say, tennis, where we see both genders equally. There may be plenty of female golfers, but the high-profile side of the sport is definitely male-dominated. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as this is a gendered sport. The fact that some other gendered sports do not have female categories yet, does by no means undermine this being a meaningful category. gidonb ( talk) 19:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Yes, but we already categorize by tour, and the tours serve to identify gender. So what purpose does this category serve? Powers T 15:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • Sorry but that is not the main purpose of the tour categories. In a gendered sport, the gender should be spelled out. gidonb ( talk) 12:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
        • So you're saying that individual biography articles should be in both Category:LPGA Tour golfers and Category:Female golfers, of which the former is a subcategory? Powers T 13:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
          • It is not so complicated. Under "female golf" come "female golfers", "female golf tournaments", "female golf leagues", and "female golf teams". Under specific female tournaments and teams can also come their respective players. gidonb ( talk) 17:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
            • I'm sorry but I don't see any of those subcategories under Category:Women's golf except Category:Female golfers. Right now, there are individuals categorized with Category:Female golfers as well as Category:LPGA Tour golfers. Since the latter is a subcategory of the former, it seems the former is redundant. Do you agree? Powers T 19:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
              • Obviously I disagree. LPGA Tour golfers is for members of an organization or participants of a competition. Female golfers is for all female golfers and can next be broken into nationalities and the like. gidonb ( talk) 21:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects to Category:Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category sits at the top level category Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects. The name of this category is confusing. All WikiProjects are in Wikipedia: prefix namespace. That confusion is shown by the subcategories presently under Wikipedia WikiProjects. Since a purpose of this category is to contain Wikipedia WikiProjects defined in terms of a particular Wikipedia maintenance task, that is what this category name should reflect. If there are other WikiProject Wikipedia-specific matters not covered by a subject area (such as architecture) or not covered by Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects, then another top level category under Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects can be created to cover that situation. GregManninLB ( talk) 17:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Rename to "something". It actually took me a minute to realise that this was a grouping of WikiProjects that aren't focused towards mainspace topics. But it's such a mixture, I'm not sure as to what we should call it. Perhaps (as a start) if it was split between Project maintenance and "User maintenance" (pardon the phrasing). Whatever the case, I think that the categorisation's a good idea, just that we need some clearer inclusion criteria, and clearer naming. - jc37 22:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC) reply

      • I'm just saying — this category is consistent the structure of other sportspeople category structures, and I personally find the distinction helpful. There are many ways that women golfers differ than male golfers, so a categorization scheme that differentiates between the two seems reasonable and I see no compelling reason to delete.

  • Keep and suggest that there be cat pages for both genders equally for all sports (but not all occupations, unless, as with most sports (equestrian being one exception), they are done in a gender separate capacity Mayumashu ( talk) 23:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Golf is a gendered sport, and this category reflects the way that the sport organises itself. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Well I could understand the category as a supercategory for the various women's tour categories, but it still seems redundant with the tour categories to place individual golfers here. Powers T 14:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • If articles should be moved to appropriate gendered subcats, then go ahead and do that per WP:SUBCAT. But failure to move articles to sub-categories is no reason to delete the category. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 17:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
        • Well that's a possible solution at which I arrived after seeing the opposition to my original proposal, not the original reason behind my proposal. Powers T 17:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, as golf is a gendered sport, and as a subcat of Category:Sportswomen by sport. (It would seem reasonable to have the parallel system Sportsmen by sport.) -- roundhouse0 ( talk) 13:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Tennis is a gendered sport too, but we don't categorize by gender there. Powers T 14:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. We do categorise by gender if an occupation is dominated by a single gender, and the vast majority of well-known golfers are male. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • I'm not sure about the "vast" majority, but all right -- still, though, we don't have gender subcategories for Category:Football (soccer) players, Category:Players of American football, Category:Cheerleaders, or Category:Jockeys, all of which are dominated by a single gender. Powers T 14:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • Striking soccer; missed it the first go-round. Powers T 14:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
        • If there are male cheerleaders or female American football players then we should indeed have categories for them. We should certainly have a Category:Female jockeys. The point is to highlight people from the other gender in a field dominated by one gender. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 15:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
          • And how do we determine domination? For example, while the average Joe on the street might be able to name more male golfers than female golfers, I would argue that the numbers are not overwhelming in either direction (comparable to tennis, ice skating, or gymnastics, I would say; the average Joe on the street could name far more female gymnasts than male gymnasts, but that doesn't mean we need Category:Male gymnasts). Powers T 15:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
            • I disagree. When we see golf on television what we see is almost invariably male golf (if we choose to watch such a tedious "sport" in the first place). That is not the case with, say, tennis, where we see both genders equally. There may be plenty of female golfers, but the high-profile side of the sport is definitely male-dominated. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as this is a gendered sport. The fact that some other gendered sports do not have female categories yet, does by no means undermine this being a meaningful category. gidonb ( talk) 19:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Yes, but we already categorize by tour, and the tours serve to identify gender. So what purpose does this category serve? Powers T 15:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC) reply
      • Sorry but that is not the main purpose of the tour categories. In a gendered sport, the gender should be spelled out. gidonb ( talk) 12:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
        • So you're saying that individual biography articles should be in both Category:LPGA Tour golfers and Category:Female golfers, of which the former is a subcategory? Powers T 13:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
          • It is not so complicated. Under "female golf" come "female golfers", "female golf tournaments", "female golf leagues", and "female golf teams". Under specific female tournaments and teams can also come their respective players. gidonb ( talk) 17:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
            • I'm sorry but I don't see any of those subcategories under Category:Women's golf except Category:Female golfers. Right now, there are individuals categorized with Category:Female golfers as well as Category:LPGA Tour golfers. Since the latter is a subcategory of the former, it seems the former is redundant. Do you agree? Powers T 19:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply
              • Obviously I disagree. LPGA Tour golfers is for members of an organization or participants of a competition. Female golfers is for all female golfers and can next be broken into nationalities and the like. gidonb ( talk) 21:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects to Category:Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category sits at the top level category Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects. The name of this category is confusing. All WikiProjects are in Wikipedia: prefix namespace. That confusion is shown by the subcategories presently under Wikipedia WikiProjects. Since a purpose of this category is to contain Wikipedia WikiProjects defined in terms of a particular Wikipedia maintenance task, that is what this category name should reflect. If there are other WikiProject Wikipedia-specific matters not covered by a subject area (such as architecture) or not covered by Wikipedia maintenance WikiProjects, then another top level category under Category:Wikipedia WikiProjects can be created to cover that situation. GregManninLB ( talk) 17:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Rename to "something". It actually took me a minute to realise that this was a grouping of WikiProjects that aren't focused towards mainspace topics. But it's such a mixture, I'm not sure as to what we should call it. Perhaps (as a start) if it was split between Project maintenance and "User maintenance" (pardon the phrasing). Whatever the case, I think that the categorisation's a good idea, just that we need some clearer inclusion criteria, and clearer naming. - jc37 22:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Neighborhoods in Mexico City to Category:Colonias of Mexico City
Nominator's rationale: "Neighborhood" is being used as an English translation of "colonia", but "colonia" is more strictly defined than "neighborhood", and not all the articles currently included in the category are actually colonias. The Spanish Wikipedia distinguishes between Categoría:Colonias de la Ciudad de México (Colonias of Mexico City) and Categoría:Localidades del Distrito Federal de México (Localities in the Federal District of Mexico).
