The result of the discussion was:rename. Since the creator is asking for the rename, there's no reason to delay it. The final one is clearly in error, so I'm throwing that in too.--

Nominator's rationale: I went ahead and created several categories using the colloquial "SFA Lumberjacks and Ladyjacks" not the
Stephen F. Austin State University athletic department's official "Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks and Ladyjacks." Also, an existing category incorrectly adds "State" to a football coach category that does not follow the existing naming standard.

Support because the proposed name is more understandable than the current name. I know that categories exist in the context of membership and subcategories, but evenso the current name is pretty meaningless as it stands.--

Category:Deaths by hang gliding
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: Quoting from the CfD discussion for
Category:Deaths by paragliding, in progress: "A simple list of ordinary people who have died [hang gliding] is not encyclopaedic material and as such there is no such WP page. This category is an attempt to provide such a list, but with no material available for inclusion"
The BushrangerOne ping only01:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)reply
In each category only persons that are noteworthy by WP standards are included. The population of hang gliding right at the moment is four noteworthy persons. KEEP.

Comment Joe's multiple !votes here are getting pretty pointy, but I see that Hang gliding is a subcat of
Category:Unpowered aviation and we do have a category branch for aviation accident victims, so I've added it, as a parent. I'm beginning to think we should keep this. Anyway, I will alert the aviation wikiproject to this discussion.

Okay, I'm going to get off the fence -- carefully, given all the people falling from the sky around here -- and say Keep. While the paragliding cat seems to just have the one article and does not meet SMALLCAT at this time, imo, we now have three articles and two redirects in this category, which itself seems to be a bona fide member of both
Category:Deaths in sport and
Category:Victims of aviation accidents or incidents. Oh, and Joe, you've already made your position clear. Please don't add more "keeps" to this discussion: it's one per customer, okay?

I see that
User:Ahunt has removed the categories with the edit summary "no cats for redirects."
WP:RCAT isn't quite so sweeping, but I certainly can't find an exception in the guideline article that would allow me to reapply the cat, so down the number goes to three bio articles.

Delete this ia an example of an overly limited category. There is no need for categories for every form of death. This reminds me of the ridiculously specialized deaths that appeared in
Irregular Webcomic. For what is is worth the category is now down to three entries.

Nominator's rationale: Right now, this category includes films where an NBA player has appeared, but that have no formal association with the NBA. There are a couple that do fit the bill, though, so I think we should rename using
Category:NFL Films as a model, to encompass the parent article
NBA Entertainment and the few film articles that do currently pertain?

Delete The only intersection is that an actor also played in the NBA. The NBA have not endorsed these films. This is an intersection of unrelated topics.
