Category:Songs where title is the only lyrics ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Seems to be the exact opposite of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Songs without the title in the lyrics, which was deleted here. Equally as trivial and non-defining. — ξ xplicit 23:52, 9 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Comment. Yes, there was a failure of WP:AGF here, but I have to admit I had to bite my knuckles, not to make my own inane suggestion, too, but so soon after the last CfD was closed? You were opening up yourself. -- Richhoncho ( talk) 10:48, 12 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Anyone with a brain would know that the two categories have nothing really in common (apart from the creator). As I said before just try and appreciate what unpaid work Wikipedians do despite the flack instead of making silly jokes. I have already stated a reason why this category should be kept, so really you all should challenge this arguement or just shut up. -- Cexycy ( talk) 23:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC) reply
I would complained to Jimbo if you were paid more than me! The arguments against this cat are the same as for your previous creation, but much more so. -- Richhoncho ( talk) 23:37, 12 March 2010 (UTC) reply
I can see that and I think its very pathetic and immature. This is a discussion on the category itself and not for silly comments about nothing. -- Cexycy ( talk) 10:15, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Here's the summary of the closure of your last category that was nominated, "The result of the discussion was: delete. While interesting, consensus is that this is trivial, not a defining characteristic, and overcategorization of unrelated subjects by a shared naming characteristic," I suspect the summary will be pretty much the same this time. I think there's your reasons already. Whereas I had a little sympathy for the other category, I have none at all for this one, after all, as every songwriter is taught, "hooks are for hammering" and listing songs where they have done that is trivia to the nth degree. Reason enough for you? -- Richhoncho ( talk) 10:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Well any idiot can write a song of this nature, but it is not any idiot who can make quite successful songs out of doing so! Which is what this category is about. As mentioned before this category is about such songs which became notable enough to have an article. -- Cexycy ( talk) 00:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC) reply
No more idiotic than the person who continues to fight the battle that is already lost. -- Richhoncho ( talk) 18:02, 15 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Can't be as idiotic as someone who thinks that adding stupid comments consitutes a reasonable arguement! For your information many songs have the "hooks" hammered frequently, some not at all and very few hammer them all the time, which is what the category is about. -- Cexycy ( talk) 22:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Let's (everyone) stop suggesting that anyone else is an idiot or acting idiotically. Please. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: No Consensus. -- Xdamr talk 20:00, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Propose merging Category:Members of the Revolutionary Cells (RZ) to Category:Revolutionary Cells (RZ)
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessarily fine division. This category's equivalent on the German Wikipedia has five articles in it, so it's unlikely this category will ever have more than that. Prezbo ( talk) 08:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Tend to keep: The RZ had hundreds of members, so proceeding converage may lead to maybe ten articles in this category. The German Wikipedia is not the measure of all things either. While deleting it now and maybe recreating it in a few years wouldn't hurt much, I don't see the necessity. Rather it should be renamed along with its parent category.

According to naming guidelines for categories, there is no such requirement that maintenance categories include the word "Wikipedia", only where such is needed to avoid confusion. Debresser ( talk) 22:11, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Confusing to relate, so please just see Jajouka (which is an article), Category:Jajouka (the parent of this category), and Joujouka (a dab page.) Simply put, there is too much overlap and the names are confusingly similar. Since they're tranlisterated from Arabic, there is every chance that they are actually identical anyway. — Justin (koavf)TCM04:55, 9 March 2010 (UTC) reply
They are the same indeed and it is a long story (see user:FayssalF/JK)! I'd suggest you contact user:Catalpa and user:BKLisenbee as they may have something to say. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 14:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC) reply
