Nominator's rationale:Rename. I do this with some trepidation, given how mamy articles would be affected, but the proper parent article is
United States National Academy of Sciences, with
National Academy of Sciences serving as a disambiguation page. I recognize that there are many articles that use "National Academy of Sciences" to refer to the United States National Academy of Sciences and that this issue might be more global than just a category. I am offering this proposal because I was able to easily deduce the category for the other organizations in a bio, but was unable to find this one without dropping "United States".

comment We've worked around this in the past by using the Canadian-English term "Organized labour" (see, for example,
WP:UNION,

Comment: While my personal preference would be
Category:Labor union leaders, the head category is
Category:Trade unionists, and there is an extensive cat tree under
Category:Trade unionists by nationality -- with
Category:American labor unionists and
Category:American labor leaders being the only exceptions, reflecting the US/UK usage divide. That said, however, the two terms have not been entirely equivalent, at least historically, in US usage. This is probably best illustrated by the two wings of the US labor movement which merged into the
AFL-CIO back in 1955, with the
AFL being a trade union for workers who had trades, and the
CIO being more of a labor union for workers who didn't have a trade. (I realize this is oversimplified.) I believe the term "labor union" has subsequently evolved to a broader usage inclusive of both types of workers. I don't know how this distinction has been treated in other countries, and whether "labor union" is viewed as a broader term outside the US.
Cgingold (
talk) 22:58, 14 September 2010 (UTC)reply
comment I agree with the comments by Cgingold. I would add, in the U.S. the philosophical division predated the
CIO, and was first expressed in a significant way with the birth of the
Industrial Workers of the World in 1905. For those who wish a greater understanding of this philosophical divide, i recommend two somewhat related articles:
industrial unionism, and
craft unionism. The merging of the AFL and the CIO did not end the debate, although (in my view) it resulted in the consolidation of the craft (or loosely, trade) union philosophy's hold on the reins of mainstream labor union power.
Richard Myers (

If there is indeed a defining difference, great. We could note that in the category descriptions and make trade unions a subcat of labour unions, for their leaders and everything else. Thing is, we'd need to amend or split the main article to reflect that.

KeepCategory:Trade union leaders, notwithstanding the odd antipodean variation, outside of the USA, trade union is the standard term.

AtticusX (

Comment - The contents of the category appear to have been removed, making it impossible to evaluate its merits as a category. Given that
Category:Malayali people should only be used for articles about individuals, if there are articles pertaining to the Malayali people as a group, it could well make sense to retain this category. That said, there certainly should not be a large map on the category page.
Cgingold (

Delete (or redirect) – the creator appears to have placed 2 people in the category, one of whom,
Mohanlal, was already in a subcat of M People, and the other,
Kaumudi Teacher, has been moved into M People. As Cgingold observes, there might well be a valid use for this topic-category if suitable articles can be found.

:* Agreed on both trilogies and tetralogies which is why I didn't nominate any such category. I would note that those categories will need to be monitored so that not every series of three and four ends up in it.
Are You The Cow Of Pain? (
talk) 01:33, 14 September 2010 (UTC) Struck comment of indef-blocked sockpuppet. The nominator's opinion will be discounted in the closure decision per #3

Nominator's rationale: No apparent need for a category; the only article is the eponymous article.

Nominator's rationale: Subject is already covered by
Malayali people. Category was created by
a user with a recent history of disruptive and unproductive edits. -

Comment - The contents of the category appear to have been removed, making it impossible to evaluate its merits as a category. Given that
Category:Malayali people should only be used for articles about individuals, if there are articles pertaining to the Malayali people as a group, it could well make sense to retain this category. That said, there certainly should not be a large map on the category page.

Delete (or redirect) – the creator appears to have placed 2 people in the category, one of whom,
Mohanlal, was already in a subcat of M People, and the other,
Kaumudi Teacher, has been moved into M People. As Cgingold observes, there might well be a valid use for this topic-category if suitable articles can be found.

Delete I don't think the redirect is needed and (ideally) we should avoid cat redirects.

Comment The category is now empty except a map and a flag. The general article on
Malayali will no doubt remain as the main article for the people. Any others can be linked via a navnox template.

Category:Organized crime video games
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: I think
Category:Crime video games suits it better, as other crime media don't have Organized in them, for example, There are no Oganized Crime films, Organized Crime novels, So I think it should be just crime video games.

Keep as is - the categories Cgingold mentions are parents of the one in question, and thus are in full view at the bottom of
Category:Organized crime video games. It is disorganized crime that is not categorised.
Occuli (

Keep as is - per Cgingold's statements.
