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

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.

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

PowersT 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

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).
PowersT 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 (

Yes, but we already categorize by tour, and the tours serve to identify gender. So what purpose does this category serve?
PowersT 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
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 (

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.

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. -

Heavy industry indicates that there is no single objective definition as to what constitutes "heavy industry." This is not part of a wider

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

Keep. Golf is a gendered sport, and this category reflects the way that the sport organises itself. --

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.
PowersT 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. --

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.
PowersT 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.)

Tennis is a gendered sport too, but we don't categorize by gender there.
PowersT 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. --

PowersT 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).
PowersT 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 (

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?
PowersT 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
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
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.

Rename per GO. Either is correct according to

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 (

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. -

Delete - following the removal of articles that don't belong (for vehicles and products) there are three articles remaining. All of them can easily be categorized in
Category:Companies of Saudi Arabia and I believe all of them already are. None of the articles appear to contain sourced information that they are "heavy industries" and the article
Heavy industry indicates that there is no single objective definition as to what constitutes "heavy industry." This is not part of a wider
Category:Heavy industry by country scheme; the only other one I'm finding is
Category:Heavy industry companies of Norway. There really is no need for this category.

Rename to

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).
