- Nominator's rationale: Delete - the other of two such categories for a non-defining Congressional caucus. Are You The Cow Of Pain? ( talk) 22:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. Unlike the below nomination, this is a defining characteristic of a politician. The RLC is one of the major, usually mutually-exclusive, factions within the Republican Party (along with the Republican Study Committee and the Republican Main Street Partnership). Since the distinction between these groups is well-defined, and they are usually mutually-exclusive, it is a defining characteristic of why a politician is notable: his or her politics. As such, it is defining of the politician him or herself. Bastin 00:05, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- This would then be categorization on the basis of political belief or opinion, which isn't done. Are You The Cow Of Pain? ( talk) 02:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- No, it would be categorisation by organisational affiliation. Categorisation by beliefs is currently discouraged because it is often a way for people to push POV by incorporating categories without proper references - whilst categories don't allow the nuances and explanations that the prose allows, and are thus good mechanisms to push a POV. This, because of the hard-and-fast, publicly-defined membership, is not the same. Bastin 00:29, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with categorization by political party, but not by sub-party faction or platform, since their memberships are far more fluid and impermanent. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

- Let me know when the RLC celebrates its 150th anniversary, as the Republican Party recently did. The Liberty Caucus will probably be defunct in another decade or two.

- Propose renaming Category:Post-Soviet Russia to Category:History of Russia (1992–present)
- Nominator's rationale: The previous discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_February_1#Category:Post-Soviet_Russia closed as a keep. It was being nominated for deletion, due to reasons which I stated there, but there is agreement that a category for Russia 1992 onwards is required, although there is disagreement that "Post-Soviet Russia" is the way to go, because when does Post-Soviet Russia stop being Post-Soviet Russia? There is a category Category:History of the United States (1991–present) with its lead article being History of the United States (1991–present). Based upon years being a nice way to separate articles (which is done not only with US articles, but many others), I moved History of post-Soviet Russia to History of Russia (1992–present) and suggest that we make the same change to the category, as mooted above. It is unambigious, and it solves the "Post-Soviet" problem that many editors recognise as being a problem, both in NPOV terms and in terms of when does it stop being PSR. Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 14:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I am not a fan of the proposed name (I think it's just plain ugly), but since I am unable to come up with anything better, since it does fit along the lines of other similar cats (like the US mentioned), and since I think that the current name is a very poor choice due to its ambiguous and overly broad scope, I support this nomination nevertheless.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); August 16, 2010; 15:43 (UTC)

Category:States in Anatolia during the Middle Ages
Nominator's rationale: Correct English, and since this is about a geographic region, it is more precise to speak of "states in Anatolia", especially since many of these were not confined to Anatolia. Constantine ✍ 11:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)Redirect to already existing category, States in medieval Anatolia. Constantine ✍ 23:29, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose As the creator of the category, I don’t see any difference between Anatolian states and states in Anatolia. So why do I object ? As a rule of thumb, the names should be left untouched unless a there is a solid reason to rename. (ıncorrect spelling, irrevelant proper name etc.) To change names because of a trivial reason is nothing but a loss of energy and time. (These are just what I am losing at the moment) As for the reason “not confined to Anatolia”, well sincerely I don’t see how the non confined states are included in the category by renaming. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 08:49, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, "Anatolian state" does convey the image of a state primarily centered in Anatolia. Yet the category already includes many states that extended far beyond it, indeed, states whose center of power was not in Anatolia. And even if this reason appears trivial, "in middle ages" is not correct English, and a rename is in order... In future, please read the rationale more carefully before dismissing such poposals.

- Convert to article Category:Lennon/McCartney songs not originally released by The Beatles to article ???
- Nominator's rationale: Or delete as basically redundant to The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 03:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- comment. The first idea (convert to a new article) already exists as Lennon/McCartney#Non-Beatles_songs. It is not precisely the same as "not originally released by The Beatles" (see below) but the difference is manageable. No action necessary here. The question is not "where should it go" but "is the category necessary, in first place". Weak oppose to the rationale behind your second proposal: an article on an album does not replace a category (different, narrower criteria). For example, I Call Your Name is both a "giveaway song", and a Beatles song (I suspect that most listeners don't know the original Billy Kramer version) - it was not included in The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away for a good reason. East of Borschov 05:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Comment. Whatever is decided it should never be merged to
The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. A songwriter cannot legally or morally 'give' away a song. The giving away of songs is fancruft terminology used by people who don't have the first inkling of how the music business works. That article should be, at least, renamed immediately. And there's incorrect capitalization of the article too.

- Nominator's rationale: It's a small category that falls under WP:Overcategorization. This Strickland character does not even have his own article. – Schmloof ( talk · contribs) 01:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I am saddened (still) by what I see as an unnecessarily limiting by the wikipedia community of how to deal with articles (and categories) on literary topics. The study of literature (and other humanities subjects) is not of the same nature as that of most scientific and technological subjects, in which many facts are certain, unchallengeable, and unchanging. Literature, like other arts, has of its nature, a strong subjective element. The expert practitioner is one who learns to form a judgement that in broad outlines falls within recognizable limits and bounds of the subject - but is not expected to be identical with that of any other expert practitioner of the subject. It is to this end that I proposed so many categories for Kipling's stories. Of teh important ones, in my judgement - those dealing with K's attitudes to race/religion etc - each was intended to group some of the material that would provide evidence for those seeking to establish what Kipling's views were on the relevant topic. These expanded into stories involving particular topics, such as Europeans in India, etc. Most of those categories have already been deleted, despite my mild protests (I am not a strong member of teh community). I still think it was methodologically unsound to delete them - but they've gone. There's no reason why Strickland (a minor outcrop of 'Europeans in India') should not follow. I have been so discouraged by the fact that the constraints imposed on my Kipling project that it has fallen into disuse. I am devoting my efforts to other work. MacAuslan ( talk) 12:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I would like nevertheless to flag up a real concern about how arts are treated in wikipedia.
- P.S. Perhaps I will write the page on "this Strickland character", who is of interest mostly as an expression of some of K's responses to India and the Anglo-Indian Raj, this week, if there is any sign that my concerns might be addressed. I have two hesitations: 1) that I don't have much time; and 2) that I am not really aware about how to begin such an argument of such (potentially) fundamental importance to an encyclopedia. MacAuslan ( talk) 12:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Upmerge to Category:Short stories by Rudyard Kipling. Insufficient material to warrant a separate category. Are You The Cow Of Pain? ( talk) 17:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Upmerge I have some sympathy with what you say, but as it is the category only contains one story, and the coillection in which that story appears, so it is pretty useless. There is no article on the character - Strickland does not go where you probably think it does. Why not do that instead? Johnbod ( talk) 13:44, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Delete - the other of two such categories for a non-defining Congressional caucus. Are You The Cow Of Pain? ( talk) 22:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. Unlike the below nomination, this is a defining characteristic of a politician. The RLC is one of the major, usually mutually-exclusive, factions within the Republican Party (along with the Republican Study Committee and the Republican Main Street Partnership). Since the distinction between these groups is well-defined, and they are usually mutually-exclusive, it is a defining characteristic of why a politician is notable: his or her politics. As such, it is defining of the politician him or herself. Bastin 00:05, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- This would then be categorization on the basis of political belief or opinion, which isn't done. Are You The Cow Of Pain? ( talk) 02:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- No, it would be categorisation by organisational affiliation. Categorisation by beliefs is currently discouraged because it is often a way for people to push POV by incorporating categories without proper references - whilst categories don't allow the nuances and explanations that the prose allows, and are thus good mechanisms to push a POV. This, because of the hard-and-fast, publicly-defined membership, is not the same. Bastin 00:29, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Post-Soviet Russia to Category:History of Russia (1992–present)
- Nominator's rationale: The previous discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_February_1#Category:Post-Soviet_Russia closed as a keep. It was being nominated for deletion, due to reasons which I stated there, but there is agreement that a category for Russia 1992 onwards is required, although there is disagreement that "Post-Soviet Russia" is the way to go, because when does Post-Soviet Russia stop being Post-Soviet Russia? There is a category Category:History of the United States (1991–present) with its lead article being History of the United States (1991–present). Based upon years being a nice way to separate articles (which is done not only with US articles, but many others), I moved History of post-Soviet Russia to History of Russia (1992–present) and suggest that we make the same change to the category, as mooted above. It is unambigious, and it solves the "Post-Soviet" problem that many editors recognise as being a problem, both in NPOV terms and in terms of when does it stop being PSR. Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 14:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I am not a fan of the proposed name (I think it's just plain ugly), but since I am unable to come up with anything better, since it does fit along the lines of other similar cats (like the US mentioned), and since I think that the current name is a very poor choice due to its ambiguous and overly broad scope, I support this nomination nevertheless.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); August 16, 2010; 15:43 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Correct English, and since this is about a geographic region, it is more precise to speak of "states in Anatolia", especially since many of these were not confined to Anatolia. Constantine ✍ 11:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)Redirect to already existing category, States in medieval Anatolia. Constantine ✍ 23:29, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose As the creator of the category, I don’t see any difference between Anatolian states and states in Anatolia. So why do I object ? As a rule of thumb, the names should be left untouched unless a there is a solid reason to rename. (ıncorrect spelling, irrevelant proper name etc.) To change names because of a trivial reason is nothing but a loss of energy and time. (These are just what I am losing at the moment) As for the reason “not confined to Anatolia”, well sincerely I don’t see how the non confined states are included in the category by renaming. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 08:49, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, "Anatolian state" does convey the image of a state primarily centered in Anatolia. Yet the category already includes many states that extended far beyond it, indeed, states whose center of power was not in Anatolia. And even if this reason appears trivial, "in middle ages" is not correct English, and a rename is in order... In future, please read the rationale more carefully before dismissing such poposals.

- Nominator's rationale: Or delete as basically redundant to The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 03:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- comment. The first idea (convert to a new article) already exists as Lennon/McCartney#Non-Beatles_songs. It is not precisely the same as "not originally released by The Beatles" (see below) but the difference is manageable. No action necessary here. The question is not "where should it go" but "is the category necessary, in first place". Weak oppose to the rationale behind your second proposal: an article on an album does not replace a category (different, narrower criteria). For example, I Call Your Name is both a "giveaway song", and a Beatles song (I suspect that most listeners don't know the original Billy Kramer version) - it was not included in The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away for a good reason. East of Borschov 05:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Comment. Whatever is decided it should never be merged to
The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. A songwriter cannot legally or morally 'give' away a song. The giving away of songs is fancruft terminology used by people who don't have the first inkling of how the music business works. That article should be, at least, renamed immediately. And there's incorrect capitalization of the article too.

- Nominator's rationale: It's a small category that falls under WP:Overcategorization. This Strickland character does not even have his own article. – Schmloof ( talk · contribs) 01:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I am saddened (still) by what I see as an unnecessarily limiting by the wikipedia community of how to deal with articles (and categories) on literary topics. The study of literature (and other humanities subjects) is not of the same nature as that of most scientific and technological subjects, in which many facts are certain, unchallengeable, and unchanging. Literature, like other arts, has of its nature, a strong subjective element. The expert practitioner is one who learns to form a judgement that in broad outlines falls within recognizable limits and bounds of the subject - but is not expected to be identical with that of any other expert practitioner of the subject. It is to this end that I proposed so many categories for Kipling's stories. Of teh important ones, in my judgement - those dealing with K's attitudes to race/religion etc - each was intended to group some of the material that would provide evidence for those seeking to establish what Kipling's views were on the relevant topic. These expanded into stories involving particular topics, such as Europeans in India, etc. Most of those categories have already been deleted, despite my mild protests (I am not a strong member of teh community). I still think it was methodologically unsound to delete them - but they've gone. There's no reason why Strickland (a minor outcrop of 'Europeans in India') should not follow. I have been so discouraged by the fact that the constraints imposed on my Kipling project that it has fallen into disuse. I am devoting my efforts to other work. MacAuslan ( talk) 12:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I would like nevertheless to flag up a real concern about how arts are treated in wikipedia.
- P.S. Perhaps I will write the page on "this Strickland character", who is of interest mostly as an expression of some of K's responses to India and the Anglo-Indian Raj, this week, if there is any sign that my concerns might be addressed. I have two hesitations: 1) that I don't have much time; and 2) that I am not really aware about how to begin such an argument of such (potentially) fundamental importance to an encyclopedia. MacAuslan ( talk) 12:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Upmerge to Category:Short stories by Rudyard Kipling. Insufficient material to warrant a separate category. Are You The Cow Of Pain? ( talk) 17:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

There is no article on the character - Strickland does not go where you probably think it does. Why not do that instead? Johnbod ( talk) 13:44, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
