Nominator's rationale: I was going to have it re-named in order to reflect their new name ( MOM Brands), but I think there are too few articles here to deserve a category, ViperSnake151  Talk  23:34, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Category:Fountains in Kansas City, Missouri ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Fountains in Missouri ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. List of fountains in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area notes that KC has more fountains than any other city in the world except Rome; unlike Category:Fountains in Rome, however, the KC category remains empty after 5 years except for the list and the Missouri category empty except for the KC subcat. Category:Fountains in the United States is not subdivided by city, or for the most part by state.- choster ( talk) 21:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Conventions to Category:Conventions (meetings)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Convention is ambiguous and this category should be a disambiguation category. The relevant article is at Convention (meeting). I recently cleaned some stuff out of the category that belonged in ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Treaties, so confusion has actually occurred.

  • I lost a CfD on this very point back in 2008 2009, and post it here, for background. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 21:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose for the reasons discussed at the previous CfD, in 2009, where the distinction is made clear. The closing admin in 2009 noted that there might scope for a rename proposal of the "by interest" categories to something else a bit more clear. I agree that should be done. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 22:13, 24 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose, as well, having made the same mistake in 2009. I now see that there really is a vital distinction between media about a topic (sailing) and by interest (women's, youth-oriented) which can encompass a wide range of topics. Some clean up may be necessary and yes I'm also open to a renaming proposal, 2+years later. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 20:20, 25 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Category:Media by interest - Way, way, way, waaaaay too broad. These companies making these products are in business to have their product "consumed", and to make money (and not necessarily in that order). So (depending on their business plan/model) they are going to want to have as broad appeal as possible within their topic or niche. And besides that, while most of us might suppose that a publication which may cover a certain topic may be of interest to those who may be interested in that topic, that may not necessarily be true, and worse, we just committed WP:OR : ) - This whole tree should be burnt to the ground. - jc37 18:36, 26 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Old Diocesans to Category:Alumni of Diocesan College, Cape Town
Nominator's rationale: Rename to clarify the purpose of the category, remove ambiguity, and conform to the "alumni of Foo" convention of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Alumni by secondary school in South Africa. Diocesan is a common word relating a "diocese", and there are " Diocesan Schools" and " Diocesan Colleges" all over the world. Even if a reader or editor is familiar with the "Old Fooian" format, the current title tells them nothing about which "diocesan school" or "diocesan college" this category relates to.

Propose renaming Category:Electric grid interconnections to Category:Wide area synchronous grids
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category includes mainly grids which correspond to the definition given in the Wide area synchronous grid article, which will be the main article of this category. The current name means the same in North America; however, outside of this region it may cause misinterpretations. Therefore I propose to rename this category, but leave its sub category:Electric grid interconnections in North America‎ with its current name to take account the regional terminology. This idea was originally proposed by the user:J JMesserly and I think the time is ready to implement it. Beagel ( talk) 19:51, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:Old Royalists to Category:Alumni of the Royal College, Colombo
Nominator's rationale: Rename to eliminate confusion with the term royalist, a generic term for people who support a particular monarch as head of state for a particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim, and with many other Royal Schools, Royal Grammar Schools and Royal High Schools with which this may be confused by those who understand the "Old Fooian" terminology used by some schools for their alumni. The format for the new category name follows the convention of Category:Alumni by school in Sri Lanka.
(Note: a similar discussion of this category in 2009 closed as "no consensus". Since then, consensus appears to shifted towards less acceptance of ambiguous "old fooian" categories). -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply
PS If renamed, please do not recreate Category:Old Royalists as a redirect. The primary meaning of the term clearly relates to the generic concept of a royalist. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:30, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I'm not sure that WP:SMALLCAT applies: "Avoid categories that, by their very definition, will never have more than a few members..." (eg, The Beatles' wives, Husbands of Elizabeth Taylor). This org. is a continuing organization which will presumably in the future have new leaders who be notable. I don't understand why "by definintion" this category is currently limited in size. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Why is this overcategorization? Grouping notable figures of a notable political organization is fairly routine. Pichpich ( talk) 18:12, 24 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Keep and Populate -- There are a couple of dozen articles in Category:International Young Democrat Union. I cannot believe that there are no notable people in any of these. Indeed it may be that some of the national organisations have categories that ought to be subcategories of this one. Peterkingiron ( talk) 13:39, 25 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Upmerge As Pichpich points out, this is a routine category format but I'm not sure the parent cat is large enough to be unwieldy or the people cat to be large enough that this isn't overcategorization.

Propose renaming Category:Orthodox political parties to Category:Eastern Orthodox political parties
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category is for Christian political parties within the Eastern Orthodox tradition—it is not about parties that are somehow politically orthodox. The parent category is ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Eastern Orthodoxy, so I suggest just adding the word "Eastern" to clarify.

I agree that should be done. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 22:13, 24 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose, as well, having made the same mistake in 2009. I now see that there really is a vital distinction between media about a topic (sailing) and by interest (women's, youth-oriented) which can encompass a wide range of topics. Some clean up may be necessary and yes I'm also open to a renaming proposal, 2+years later. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 20:20, 25 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Category:Media by interest - Way, way, way, waaaaay too broad. These companies making these products are in business to have their product "consumed", and to make money (and not necessarily in that order). So (depending on their business plan/model) they are going to want to have as broad appeal as possible within their topic or niche. And besides that, while most of us might suppose that a publication which may cover a certain topic may be of interest to those who may be interested in that topic, that may not necessarily be true, and worse, we just committed WP:OR : ) - This whole tree should be burnt to the ground. - jc37 18:36, 26 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Rename to clarify the purpose of the category, remove ambiguity, and conform to the "alumni of Foo" convention of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Alumni by secondary school in South Africa. Diocesan is a common word relating a "diocese", and there are " Diocesan Schools" and " Diocesan Colleges" all over the world. Even if a reader or editor is familiar with the "Old Fooian" format, the current title tells them nothing about which "diocesan school" or "diocesan college" this category relates to.

Propose renaming Category:Electric grid interconnections to Category:Wide area synchronous grids
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category includes mainly grids which correspond to the definition given in the Wide area synchronous grid article, which will be the main article of this category. The current name means the same in North America; however, outside of this region it may cause misinterpretations. Therefore I propose to rename this category, but leave its sub category:Electric grid interconnections in North America‎ with its current name to take account the regional terminology.

Propose renaming Category:Old Royalists to Category:Alumni of the Royal College, Colombo
Nominator's rationale: Rename to eliminate confusion with the term royalist, a generic term for people who support a particular monarch as head of state for a particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim, and with many other Royal Schools, Royal Grammar Schools and Royal High Schools with which this may be confused by those who understand the "Old Fooian" terminology used by some schools for their alumni. The format for the new category name follows the convention of Category:Alumni by school in Sri Lanka.
(Note: a similar discussion of this category in 2009 closed as "no consensus". Since then, consensus appears to shifted towards less acceptance of ambiguous "old fooian" categories). -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering ( talk) 00:59, 1 March 2012 (UTC) reply
Propose renaming Category:Orthodox political parties to Category:Eastern Orthodox political parties
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category is for Christian political parties within the Eastern Orthodox tradition—it is not about parties that are somehow politically orthodox. The parent category is ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Eastern Orthodoxy, so I suggest just adding the word "Eastern" to clarify.
