The result of the discussion was:castrate all, by removing the "The". (This reference to castration is a somewhat elaborate joke, which I shall now explain and thereby demonstrate how not to by very funny. The Bee Gees—sorry, "Bee Gees"—was composed of the three Gibb brothers. A
gib is a castrated cat or ferret. Add this fact to the band's falsetto singing style, and this reference thus becomes doubly hilarious. That is all. (I'm straining in my efforts to resist tying in "diktats". You guys make this way too easy.))Good Ol’factory(talk) 09:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)reply
Keep all. I dunno, I can't imagine saying "I'm going to Bee Gees' concert tonight."Rename. After posting my initial comment, I looked at
File:Best_of_bee_gees.jpg which settles it for me. If this was named "Best of the Bee Gees," then I'd go the other way, but it's not, so I won't. (Any reason these aren't one nomination, Justin?)--

This is counter to the thrust of cfd renames over the last 2 or 3 years, for the category to match the article. There are plenty of similar instances, eg
Spice Girls,
Category:Spice Girls;
United States of America,
Category:United States of America;
United Kingdom,
Category:United Kingdom. We will be very busy if this rather bizarre interpretation of
WP:COMMONNAME is adopted. I would say that the convention is to omit the 'the' unless it is formally part of the name. (Which reminds me of
The The. Did one go to see the 'The The', or just give up and stay at home in semantic confusion?)
Occuli (
talk) 09:22, 11 February 2010 (UTC)reply
If the "correct" common name for the group contains the word "the", the place to make the change is at the article, not at CfD. Fostering an environment where CfD, the flea at the tip of the tail of the dog, is wagging to dictate the proper titles of articles, only makes Wikipedia harder to use. Why would we deliberately create conflicts between article and category titles by CfD diktat?
Alansohn (

Alansohn, I don't know what purpose you think is served by your characterisation of a CfD decision as a "diktat", but apart from the fact that decisions are made by consensus rather than "diktat", that sort of inflammatory language does not help build consensus. If you read my !vote above, you'll see that I didn't say "rename", I said "keep". The discrepancy exists already, and I am suggesting that CfD should leave it e rather than create it. --

Rename. Per the
guideline, we don't start the article title with the definite article unless it's part of the official name or a title of a work. Here it's not. Categories should generally follow article naming conventions, and there's no need to make an exception here.

Nominator's rationale: The category does not lend itself easily towards being populated. "Ecological crisis" is a little emotive and is more of a broad phrase that has no clear definition. Also, the contents are adequately covered by

Merge to
Category:Environmental issues. I agree that many ecological issues are at crisis point, but deciding which issues have become a crisis is a POV nightmare.

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Per
WP:OC#EPONYMOUS, eponymous categories for people should usually be created only to group a series of sub-articles on people whose coverage on Wikipedia has become too big fit in one article, and I see no sign of the article on
Kingsley Amis growing soon to the point where it needs to be split in that way. The category text says that it is "for articles related to Kingsley Amis and his works", but his works are already categorised in
Category:Novels by Kingsley Amis.
BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (
contribs) 11:42, 10 February 2010 (UTC)reply
Keep – it should certainly contain
Category:Novels by Kingsley Amis (and now does). There are also non-novels by Amis (see
Kingsley Amis: eg criticism and letters) which should be in some KA category (eg Works by KA) and are there not biographies? (If everything does fit in eg
Category:Works by Kingsley Amis then I agree that the eponymous category can go.)
Occuli (

Good idea. I have added
Category:Martin Amis to the nomination. I don't see anything for either of them which wouldn't fit neatly in a (Works by) category. However, since there are at least three notable members of this family plus a few subcats, I wonder if it might be appropriate to merge these two categs to a new
Category:Amis family? --
BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (
contribs) 13:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)reply
My intention in creating these was to add all their works, people and institutions associated with them etc. Having a works-only category means there's nowhere to add non-works material, which is why I created the umbrella categories. I can't see any problem with retaining them, but I wouldn't object to an Amis family category.
SlimVirginTALKcontribs 16:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)reply
The convention is not to categorise by association with people, so the categories for the individuals have limited scope. But the family category could join a lot of the core stuff together. --
BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (

Merge both to
Category:Amis family. We have two major writers who are father and son. They could each be the main artilce in a "works by" category, but
Sally Amis would not fit. Since notability is not inherited, I am not clear why she needs an article, but if she does, she will best fit in a family category.

These categories include basically the same 2/3 articles. Merging them to a family-related category has no rationale. All that is worth keeping in these categories are their subcategories, which leads me to agree with the nominator to delete these unnecessary eponymous categories.

Comment – the advantage with adding (artist) is that one doesn't need to go through all other Ian Campbells to see if they might have produced albums. (I'm not sure that this has arisen before, unlike 'band' of which we have had plenty.)
Occuli (

Comment. Adding '(artist)' is no help at all. Looking at
Ian Campbell (disambiguation) there are 2 or 3 other Ian Campbells who are also musicians, the tag '(artist)' on the current one is not specific enough to distinguish him from the others. Ian Campbell should be renamed to something like
Ian Campbell (rap artist) but failing that the cat rename is a waste of time.

There is no navigation needed for this group's albums, as they are all in one place. The existence of the category falsely implies there are some articles to be found by clicking the entries.

gib is a castrated cat or ferret. Add this fact to the band's falsetto singing style, and this reference thus becomes doubly hilarious. That is all. (I'm straining in my efforts to resist tying in "diktats". You guys make this way too easy.))Good Ol’factory(talk) 09:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)reply
Keep all. I dunno, I can't imagine saying "I'm going to Bee Gees' concert tonight."Rename. After posting my initial comment, I looked at
File:Best_of_bee_gees.jpg which settles it for me. If this was named "Best of the Bee Gees," then I'd go the other way, but it's not, so I won't. (Any reason these aren't one nomination, Justin?)--

This is counter to the thrust of cfd renames over the last 2 or 3 years, for the category to match the article. There are plenty of similar instances, eg
Spice Girls,
Category:Spice Girls;
United States of America,
Category:United States of America;
United Kingdom,
Category:United Kingdom. We will be very busy if this rather bizarre interpretation of
WP:COMMONNAME is adopted. I would say that the convention is to omit the 'the' unless it is formally part of the name. (Which reminds me of
The The. Did one go to see the 'The The', or just give up and stay at home in semantic confusion?)
Occuli (

If the "correct" common name for the group contains the word "the", the place to make the change is at the article, not at CfD. Fostering an environment where CfD, the flea at the tip of the tail of the dog, is wagging to dictate the proper titles of articles, only makes Wikipedia harder to use. Why would we deliberately create conflicts between article and category titles by CfD diktat?
Alansohn (

Alansohn, I don't know what purpose you think is served by your characterisation of a CfD decision as a "diktat", but apart from the fact that decisions are made by consensus rather than "diktat", that sort of inflammatory language does not help build consensus. If you read my !vote above, you'll see that I didn't say "rename", I said "keep". The discrepancy exists already, and I am suggesting that CfD should leave it e rather than create it. --

Rename. Per the
guideline, we don't start the article title with the definite article unless it's part of the official name or a title of a work. Here it's not. Categories should generally follow article naming conventions, and there's no need to make an exception here.

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Per
WP:OC#EPONYMOUS, eponymous categories for people should usually be created only to group a series of sub-articles on people whose coverage on Wikipedia has become too big fit in one article, and I see no sign of the article on
Kingsley Amis growing soon to the point where it needs to be split in that way. The category text says that it is "for articles related to Kingsley Amis and his works", but his works are already categorised in
Category:Novels by Kingsley Amis.
BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (

Keep – it should certainly contain
Category:Novels by Kingsley Amis (and now does). There are also non-novels by Amis (see
Kingsley Amis: eg criticism and letters) which should be in some KA category (eg Works by KA) and are there not biographies? (If everything does fit in eg
Category:Works by Kingsley Amis then I agree that the eponymous category can go.)

Good idea. I have added
Category:Martin Amis to the nomination. I don't see anything for either of them which wouldn't fit neatly in a (Works by) category. However, since there are at least three notable members of this family plus a few subcats, I wonder if it might be appropriate to merge these two categs to a new
Category:Amis family? --
BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (
contribs) 13:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)reply
My intention in creating these was to add all their works, people and institutions associated with them etc. Having a works-only category means there's nowhere to add non-works material, which is why I created the umbrella categories. I can't see any problem with retaining them, but I wouldn't object to an Amis family category.
SlimVirginTALKcontribs 16:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)reply
The convention is not to categorise by association with people, so the categories for the individuals have limited scope. But the family category could join a lot of the core stuff together. --

Merge both to
Category:Amis family. We have two major writers who are father and son. They could each be the main artilce in a "works by" category, but
Sally Amis would not fit. Since notability is not inherited, I am not clear why she needs an article, but if she does, she will best fit in a family category.

Delete. The group's albums are all described in the main article. There will never be any articles to add to this cat. There is no navigation needed for this group's albums, as they are all in one place. The existence of the category falsely implies there are some articles to be found by clicking the entries. A user starting from the category page would be constantly revisiting the same page so this cat is positively unhelpful.
