The result of the discussion was:no consensus. I was going to relist this one, but in light of the confusing nature of it all and the inappropriateness of the initial suggestion and the subsequent suggestions for possible better names, I think a well-thought-out renomination might be the best way to go for resolving this.Good Ol’factory(talk)22:55, 19 January 2010 (UTC)reply
Could you propose another target name? The one you proposed is completely unworkable, since it already exists, and contains a dozen or so articles about seasons played by the baseball team. I agree, the current system is a bit of a mess, though.

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category from LGSpears again, that is fairly redundant to
Category:Superman films when most of the Superman films are Warner Brothers one, and category is being randomly added to films in the series because the character made an appearance (like the Justice League) one. The existing category is not so crowded that a subcat is needed, and certainly not one so randomly done (the List of locations isn't a Warner Bros. Superman Film nor is a Template). --

Delete fine, and I agree. But speedy? As what? The listed characters are fictional, so G10 hardly applies, and I can't make any other of
the criteria for speedy deletion even seem plausible. If we've done this before, it could be G4'ed, but I can't find any evidence this category has been deleted before.

Hold on a minute What is actually wrong with this category? What is "derogatory" about it? Nothing. Is it being "randomly applied"? No. Do "the existing ones, like
Category:The Jungle Book characters, suffice" - no, of course they don't, as they mainly contain fictional pythons & the like, within a specific "franchise", and so are totally different to this general category for human rip-offs of
Tarzan and
Mowgli. Perhaps rename to
Category:Fictional feral children of the jungle, as a sub of
Category:Feral children; no doubt some would need to be cut. Claims of OR here are hardly convincing; no doubt there is a sizeable literature on the topic, which is just the sort of thing media studies academics love.

As you observed, some would need to be cut because not all of the included characters were "feral children" (Ka-Zar and the Phantom weren't). So the stock character this category is trying to capture is something different, based rather on how the character ends up rather than how they got there. It's reasonable to posit that there is probably "a sizeable literature on the topic," but it doesn't seem this category began from a study of that literature, and there is no
jungle boy article to describe the concept and provide citations for whom it applies (so we don't even know if this is an apt label elsewhere used). There is a
list of feral children in mythology and fiction, but as noted that is something overlapping with this category, but not identical. postdlf (talk)

Comment Energy policy and climate change policy overlap, but they are certainly not synonymous. Oh, you can argue that deforestation affects energy production and electrical utility deregulation affects climate change, but at that level of connection you'd also want to throw in agricultural, urban planning, trade, and transportation policy, at which point you'd have a hard time excluding foreign, fiscal, civil rights, technology, or much else, really.-

Keep, part of an established and comprehensive structure of
Category:Ambassadors by mission country. Note that all of the contents of
Category:Ambassadors to Russia are subcategories in this form. In this instance, there simply happens to be only one categorized South Ossetian ambassador, but that doesn't make this more specific one a duplicate. Further, per
foreign relations of South Ossetia, it has foreign relations with five other nations, a number probably likely to increase over time, so there will eventually be articles on other ambassadors. ArcAngel, in the future, please don't blank or empty a category you want to list at CFD, because it prevents us from being able to fairly judge it. By removing the one article from this category, you also broke its only connection to
