Category:Great Basin fauna and flora ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Basically includes a few fauna and flora categories. No need to lump them into one category. Vegaswikian ( talk) 23:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Propose merging Category:US Volcanic fields West of 109°W to by state categories
Nominator's rationale: Merge to the by state category. By state is the established breakout in the US. There is nothing in the category introduction that would indicate why 109 West is notable for this activity. If kept, rename to Category:Volcanic fields of the United States west of 109°W. Note that in effect this covers all of the US since if you continue west from 109W, you reach it from the east.

Delete as the category now only contains the eponymous article. I will take exception though if the category has been emptied out of order. __ meco ( talk) 08:41, 19 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Rename. i propose renaming these categories for consistency with the other entries of Category:Government-owned companies by country. meco ( talk) 19:13, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
I think a common, generic, descriptive term should be applied to all categories even though some countries may have English names that differ from this. In the case which you bring up, the use of the term state will become confusing if applied as you suggest if other countries, such as Brazil and the US which which have "states" as subordinate entities below the federal government, are classified also per that subordinate level. __ meco ( talk) 08:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Quasi-public entities in the United States to [[:Category:]]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I understand the need for a category which covers companies that are partly controlled by the government, however, this name doesn't sit well with me. And as this is a type of category that would be relevant for many countries I think a name that could travel around such a structure needs a little thinking about. meco ( talk) 18:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
Comment. Perhaps something to do with Category:Public–private partnership would be appropriate. __ meco ( talk) 19:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I believe that in the U.S. this is the most commonly used term for these; it's certainly not a WP-created neologism. "Quasi-public entity" and "quasi-public entities" both get thousands of hits on google. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Comment --If Quasi-public is the US term we should Keep it for US entities, even if it is not the term used elsewhere. This should not mean that that we must rename similar categories for other countries that use other terminology. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Category:Battery electric vehicle components ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Some of the contents of this category do not match the title and those that do are best served by an article. -- Alan Liefting ( talk) - 21:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • keep and cleanup. A category is a perfectly fine way of organizing this material for navigation, the purpose of categories, regardless of any article that anyone may choose to write. Hmains ( talk) 02:52, 5 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Delete -- Some months ago, we had an editor who created vast number of categories for "green" energy, transport, etc. Is this another of his SPAM categories? I observe that some one has removed wire from this category (and rightly). Many of the items listed here can be components of a wide range of electrical equipemnt, so why delect out those needed for battery operated vehicles? If kept, irrlevant and mundane items should be removed. Peterkingiron ( talk) 00:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as nominated. At least half of the articles are for components used in a wide range of applications, and the few survivors could be moved into the parent category. Mangoe ( talk) 22:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep This is a tough one for me. Yes, I think it has all the hallmarks of a nonsensical Mac/Nopetro green energy OC violation. Yes, much of the category contents do not belong here, as they are not battery electric vehicle components. And when you take those away, there's not a whole lot left. However, the nominated category seems to be a reasonable sub-cat of Category:Vehicle parts and Category:Battery electric vehicles, and as such, permitted under WP:OC. But as Peter says, needs clean up. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 21:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Removed my weak keep -- the deletion supporters make compelling cases. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 17:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Examination of Category:Vehicle parts shows that it is highly problematic, with many of the articles tagged for notability issues and others not specifically relevant to vehicles. Mangoe ( talk) 03:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Not defining and if we add this category for battery pack, we also need to add that to Category:Flashlights. These components are for the most part used in other places and it is not generally defining there either. For the really unique components, they are already spelled out in the various articles.

Nominator's rationale: Delete both. Possible categories, but the only member in either category ( 2010 World Series) doesn't belong in either, meaning the categories should be empty. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Propose merging Category:R&B and soul musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Category:Musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Category:American rhythm and blues musicians and Category:American soul musicians
Nominator's rationale: 1) R&B (genre), 2) soul (genre), 3) musicians (occupation), 4) Pennsylvania (state), 5) Philadelphia (city). Overcategorization, or, more accurately, complete overkill. There's need to narrow down categories this much. — ξ xplicit 05:50, 4 November 2010 (UTC) reply

  • Merge as overcategorization. This would have to be done manually to separate the R&B and soul people, no? Hekerui ( talk) 14:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
    Yes, and I'll take care of that should the nomination succeed. — ξ xplicit 20:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. Definite overkill. That said, there might be some utility to a category specifically for Philadelphia soul musicians, but that's a genre which includes some musicians who aren't from Philadelphia and excludes some who are, so it's not identical to this set as defined here.

Propose merging Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States Region 3 to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
Propose merging Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States Region 4 to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Parent category is not overly populated. While there are 4 NRC regions, are they of navigational importance for the average reader? Navigation would be better served by keeping all of these in one category. Note that one region covers about 70% of the area of the US. If we need to split the parent later, we can do so by state. Also note that the other subcategories are not split out by region. Vegaswikian ( talk) 08:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
Merge as proposed. A good idea to remove clasification by NRC region. But generally all US Power Stations should be classified by state which would be a subcategory of “Energy facilities in State X”. At the moment Hydro plants are; plus Coal stations and Wind farms for some states only. For the other states they are also directly listed under "Energy facilities etc. Hugo999 ( talk) 10:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Category:George Washington slept here ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. We definitely do not want to start categorizing places by notable people who slept there, or ate there, or peed there, or whatever. It's typically an interesting factoid about a place, but is not generally defining for the places. And you know, many notable people have slept in an awful lot of different places. Can you imagine the category clutter on certain ritzy hotels! Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Propose merging Category:US Volcanic fields West of 109°W to by state categories
Nominator's rationale: Merge to the by state category. By state is the established breakout in the US. There is nothing in the category introduction that would indicate why 109 West is notable for this activity. If kept, rename to Category:Volcanic fields of the United States west of 109°W. Note that in effect this covers all of the US since if you continue west from 109W, you reach it from the east.

Nominator's rationale: Rename. i propose renaming these categories for consistency with the other entries of Category:Government-owned companies by country. meco ( talk) 19:13, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
I think a common, generic, descriptive term should be applied to all categories even though some countries may have English names that differ from this. In the case which you bring up, the use of the term state will become confusing if applied as you suggest if other countries, such as Brazil and the US which which have "states" as subordinate entities below the federal government, are classified also per that subordinate level. __ meco ( talk) 08:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Quasi-public entities in the United States to [[:Category:]]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I understand the need for a category which covers companies that are partly controlled by the government, however, this name doesn't sit well with me. And as this is a type of category that would be relevant for many countries I think a name that could travel around such a structure needs a little thinking about. meco ( talk) 18:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
Comment. Perhaps something to do with Category:Public–private partnership would be appropriate. __ meco ( talk) 19:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I believe that in the U.S. this is the most commonly used term for these; it's certainly not a WP-created neologism. "Quasi-public entity" and "quasi-public entities" both get thousands of hits on google. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Comment --If Quasi-public is the US term we should Keep it for US entities, even if it is not the term used elsewhere. This should not mean that that we must rename similar categories for other countries that use other terminology. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC) reply

  • Delete -- Some months ago, we had an editor who created vast number of categories for "green" energy, transport, etc. Is this another of his SPAM categories? I observe that some one has removed wire from this category (and rightly). Many of the items listed here can be components of a wide range of electrical equipemnt, so why delect out those needed for battery operated vehicles? If kept, irrlevant and mundane items should be removed. Peterkingiron ( talk) 00:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as nominated. At least half of the articles are for components used in a wide range of applications, and the few survivors could be moved into the parent category. Mangoe ( talk) 22:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep This is a tough one for me. Yes, I think it has all the hallmarks of a nonsensical Mac/Nopetro green energy OC violation. Yes, much of the category contents do not belong here, as they are not battery electric vehicle components. And when you take those away, there's not a whole lot left. However, the nominated category seems to be a reasonable sub-cat of Category:Vehicle parts and Category:Battery electric vehicles, and as such, permitted under WP:OC. But as Peter says, needs clean up. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 21:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Removed my weak keep -- the deletion supporters make compelling cases. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 17:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Examination of Category:Vehicle parts shows that it is highly problematic, with many of the articles tagged for notability issues and others not specifically relevant to vehicles. Mangoe ( talk) 03:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Not defining and if we add this category for battery pack, we also need to add that to Category:Flashlights. These components are for the most part used in other places and it is not generally defining there either. For the really unique components, they are already spelled out in the various articles.

Nominator's rationale: 1) R&B (genre), 2) soul (genre), 3) musicians (occupation), 4) Pennsylvania (state), 5) Philadelphia (city). Overcategorization, or, more accurately, complete overkill. There's need to narrow down categories this much. — ξ xplicit 05:50, 4 November 2010 (UTC) reply

    Yes, and I'll take care of that should the nomination succeed. — ξ xplicit 20:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. Definite overkill. That said, there might be some utility to a category specifically for Philadelphia soul musicians, but that's a genre which includes some musicians who aren't from Philadelphia and excludes some who are, so it's not identical to this set as defined here.

Propose merging Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States Region 3 to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
Propose merging Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States Region 4 to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Parent category is not overly populated. While there are 4 NRC regions, are they of navigational importance for the average reader? Navigation would be better served by keeping all of these in one category. Note that one region covers about 70% of the area of the US. If we need to split the parent later, we can do so by state. Also note that the other subcategories are not split out by region. Vegaswikian ( talk) 08:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC) reply
Merge as proposed. A good idea to remove clasification by NRC region. But generally all US Power Stations should be classified by state which would be a subcategory of “Energy facilities in State X”. At the moment Hydro plants are; plus Coal stations and Wind farms for some states only. For the other states they are also directly listed under "Energy facilities etc. Hugo999 ( talk) 10:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete. We definitely do not want to start categorizing places by notable people who slept there, or ate there, or peed there, or whatever. It's typically an interesting factoid about a place, but is not generally defining for the places. And you know, many notable people have slept in an awful lot of different places.
