Category:Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: *Delete by nominator. This is a group which anyone can join, like the Sierra Club, for example. Doubtless an admirable organization, but not worth noting on anyone's article. See, for example, Wikipedia_talk:Notability#Does_being_a_Fellow_of_the_Royal_Society_of_Arts_meet_notability_criteria.3F Student7 ( talk) 23:31, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Rename per nom. Ruslik_ Zero 13:30, 17 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Propose renaming Category:Album covers by artist to Category:Album covers by recording artist
Nominator's rationale: It is not clear under the current title whether "artist" refers to the artist who recorded the album for which the cover is used or the artist who created the cover art. Since the category tree appears to follow the first meaning, this category should be renamed. Category:Album covers by recording artist is one option, but there are others (e.g. Category:Album covers by musical artist). -- Black Falcon ( talk) 21:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Canada city templates to Category:Canadian city templates
Nominator's rationale: Grammer. Should be Canadian cities templates ~~ EBE123~~( talk) 20:04, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - I used this form (name instead of gentilic) because some time ago i've read that it was decided to use -country name + templates- formm and not -gentilic + templates- to simplify... or else. See for exemple the Canadian mother category ( Category:Canada templates instead of "Canadian templates"), or all country name forms used in Category:Country templates. Or the 22 names used in Category:City templates by country (Japan city templates, Bulgaria c.t., Australia c.t and so on.). Of course I know that the correct form is Canadian, but i've simply followed a standard rule decided, i think, some years ago. A proposal reguarding name changes should be presented, but it may be IMHO general, reguarding all countries. Regards. -- Dэя- Бøяg 22:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Each of the nominated categories is a subcategory of Category:Images of musical groups and contains only one member: the category for covers of the corresponding band's audio recordings. The use of "Images of {band}" categories in this way is misleading and unnecessary. It is misleading because images of a musical group's album covers are not, technically, images of the musical group. It is unnecessary because the categories of album covers by band are already appropriately categorized, and the "Images of {band}" categories merely add an unnecessary layer that does not facilitate navigation. Specifically, each member of the nominated categories (see e.g. Category:Dream (band) album covers) is already in:
The "Images of {musician/band}" category tree is not (yet) an established categorization scheme like Category:Albums by artist, and I would argue that it should be used only when there is something to categorize which cannot be categorized via other, more appropriate categories. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 20:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Category:Single covers

The result of the discussion was: delete and merge. The proposal to rename Category:Album covers makes a lot of sense, and should happen. But the amount of efforts needed to split single covers and album covers is unthinkably large. Much better to rename the album categories to something format-neutral and be done with it.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 07:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC) reply
Propose deleting
Propose merging
Nominator's rationale: In the context of non-free use of covers of audio recordings, there is no need to differentiate between albums and singles. All non-free covers use {{ Non-free album cover}} and appear in Category:Album covers automatically. It may be a good idea to rename Category:Album covers to Category:Audio recording covers but there is no need to start a separate tree for single covers in the meantime. Note, also, that the previous discussion (in 2007) resulted in deletion. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 19:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Suggest withdrawing this nomination and make a new proposal for merger & rename of "album covers" to "audio recording covers". In the past I felt a bit guilty at categorising a single within "albums" as it is far from obvious, at the lower category level, that this has policy support. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC) reply
    • I'm far from being an expert on the subject of albums and singles, but I had the impression that " album cover" is used to refer to any audio recording cover. Insofar as Google hits statistics are informative, "audio recording cover" has only c. 4,000 hits as opposed to 2.8 million hits for "single cover" and 50 million for "album cover". I agree that extra clarification is needed (I experienced similar confusion until I read the 2007 CFD), but this could be accomplished by adding category descriptions. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 02:44, 12 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Agree with proposal. I think with the use of the template {{ Non-free album cover}} for all covers, this makes sense. There's really no need to distinguish both singles and album covers separately by artist. -- Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars ( talk) 00:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC) reply

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.
The result of the discussion was: Delete. That someone at some point collaborated with another person to write something does not seem to defining for them. So, I will delete this category. Articles about literary collaborations should be placed in the respective category. Ruslik_ Zero 13:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Category:Literary collaborators ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. This seems like a very broad and not very useful way to categorize writers. All it tells us is that at some point these authors wrote something of some kind with someone else (without telling us what or who). If there are notable writing teams or collectives with articles I can see grouping them in a category for writing teams but putting individuals in this kind of a category doesn't strike me as helpful. I Want My GayTV ( talk) 17:53, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This is not a useful category for single-subject articles. Roscelese ( talkcontribs) 23:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Ooo, I agree that this is quite a bad method of categorization. If it contained articles named after two or more collaborators, then it would be appropriate, but it does not. I can't really even envisage a situation where we would want or need an article named after two or more literary collaborators. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:49, 4 February 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep though, because Category:Literary collaborations exists (and is important), I feel less strongly about this category. I agree the category is at present inappropriately populated but I do not see that as a sufficient reason for deletion. Charles Lamb (writer) and Mary Lamb collaborated over a number of books and, had they not also been sole authors there could well have been a single article about the two of them. If an article on their Tales from Shakespeare did not exist then it would be difficult to categorise the situation even with separate biographical articles. Neil Forsyth is a literary collaborator with Elliot Castro and, because there is no article about the book [1] or Castro, categorisation would again be awkward. Where should Category:Translators of the Authorized King James Version fit in the categorisation scheme? The category would best be applied to a writing team for a book or series of books where the team is more notable than the individual authors and where there isn't an article on any of their books. Thincat ( talk) 00:34, 6 February 2011 (UTC) reply
"Where should Category:Translators of the Authorized King James Version fit in the categorisation scheme?" As a subcategory of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Translators of the Bible into English and as a subcategory of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Authorized King James Version. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:07, 6 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Well that is fine then. I've now found Emma Darcy is a writing team who has written a series of books, none of which seem to have Wikipedia articles. This pseudonym could be (and, indeed, is) in Category:Literary collaborations but "collaborators" might be more suitable. This AFD nomination acknowledges that teams such as this would be appropriate in the collaborators category. Caroline and Charles Todd is an example where the article is named under the two authors.

Propose renaming Category:World Heritage Sites in Asia and Australasia to Category:World Heritage Sites in Asia and Oceania
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The term Oceania is widely used on WP and outside WP to include Australia, PNG, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands; the term Australasia is far more slippery and ambiguous, excluding the Pacific Islands and not always including New Zealand. Quite a number of the sites listed are in neither Asia nor Australasia but are in Oceania (there are ones in Fiji, Pitcairn, and the Solomons, for instance, which are not in Australasia by any stretch of the term). Others may or may not be in Australasia depending on your definition. And to cap it off, this has ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Asia and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Oceania as its two continental parent categories. As such, using Oceania makes far more sense. FWIW, UNESCO – which designates World Heritage Sites – doesn't use either term, but instead refers to "The Asia-Pacific Region" (which implies that it covers far more than just Asia and Australasia). Grutness... wha? 12:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
UNESCO calls that region "Asia and the Pacific", so possibly the same terminology should be used here. bamse ( talk) 12:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

That discussion has just been closed as "not moved".) There's no reason to have the article and the category have different names; a redirect should be placed on the nominated category.

Charles Lamb (writer) and Mary Lamb collaborated over a number of books and, had they not also been sole authors there could well have been a single article about the two of them. If an article on their Tales from Shakespeare did not exist then it would be difficult to categorise the situation even with separate biographical articles. Neil Forsyth is a literary collaborator with Elliot Castro and, because there is no article about the book [1] or Castro, categorisation would again be awkward. Where should Category:Translators of the Authorized King James Version fit in the categorisation scheme? The category would best be applied to a writing team for a book or series of books where the team is more notable than the individual authors and where there isn't an article on any of their books.

"Where should Category:Translators of the Authorized King James Version fit in the categorisation scheme?" As a subcategory of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Translators of the Bible into English and as a subcategory of ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Authorized King James Version.

Well that is fine then. I've now found Emma Darcy is a writing team who has written a series of books, none of which seem to have Wikipedia articles. This pseudonym could be (and, indeed, is) in Category:Literary collaborations but "collaborators" might be more suitable. This AFD nomination acknowledges that teams such as this would be appropriate in the collaborators category. Caroline and Charles Todd is an example where the article is named under the two authors.

Propose renaming Category:Royal Air Force Medical Corps personnel to Category:Royal Air Force Medical Service personnel
Nominator's rationale: Rename. There's no such thing as the RAF Medical Corps (which is an army term) - it's the RAF Medical Service or Medical Branch or just RAF Medical Services. Note that there is already a Category:Royal Air Force Medical Service officers. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:18, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:World Heritage Sites in Asia and Australasia to Category:World Heritage Sites in Asia and Oceania
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The term Oceania is widely used on WP and outside WP to include Australia, PNG, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands; the term Australasia is far more slippery and ambiguous, excluding the Pacific Islands and not always including New Zealand. Quite a number of the sites listed are in neither Asia nor Australasia but are in Oceania (there are ones in Fiji, Pitcairn, and the Solomons, for instance, which are not in Australasia by any stretch of the term). Others may or may not be in Australasia depending on your definition. And to cap it off, this has ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Asia and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Oceania as its two continental parent categories. As such, using Oceania makes far more sense. FWIW, UNESCO – which designates World Heritage Sites – doesn't use either term, but instead refers to "The Asia-Pacific Region" (which implies that it covers far more than just Asia and Australasia). Grutness... wha? 12:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
UNESCO calls that region "Asia and the Pacific", so possibly the same terminology should be used here. bamse ( talk) 12:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Non-category category with self-referential stated scope, ultimately useless to readers. Upmerge and cross-merge member articles as appropriate. ― cobaltcigs 01:26, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Punch card to Category:Punched card
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I suggest renaming to match punched card. (This was nominated at the speedy section a few weeks ago, which prompted a nomination to move the article to punch card. That discussion has just been closed as "not moved".) There's no reason to have the article and the category have different names; a redirect should be placed on the nominated category.
