- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Inappropriate topic for categorization. The concept of industrial district that was used to classify articles is not a "defining characteristic" of the articles placed in these categories -- and is not itself clearly defined. Thus, it does not meet the test defined at WP:Categorization, i.e., that categorization of articles should be based on "the defining characteristics of a subject of the article". Additionally, the places that have been added to these categories do not meet the test of being commonly and consistently defined as "industrial districts". The categorization concept might have merit in some individual countries, as suggested in discussion that has occurred at Category talk:Industrial districts in Russia, but it is not meaningful as a global category hierarchy. Orlady ( talk) 12:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Delete based on the article for this category, the contents should probably be sub-city areas of industrial concentration, but they are not. It is not well thought out and does not seem to be working as a way to categorize things. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment as the editor who made these categories, I'd like to explain myself. I'd admit that it was probably not well thought out. However, I believe that the options for browsing with a human geography perspective is limited. There are, as far as I've been able to establish, no categories or templates that enable the reader to learn more about how economy and geography interrelates. This might have been a poor attempt to create such a hierarchy, but I think Orlady is a little to categorical in their dismissal of the topic's appropriateness. Much like having been a fortified city shapes the physical structure of a city, a strong industrial presence may too, in addition to making its mark on local culture, and may very well be defining to its character. Nonetheless, I do not oppose the deletion of the categories, and take note of the criticism put forward. If other editors believe that there is some merit to the idea, bar this incarnation, they are welcome to discuss it on my talk page. benjamil talk/ edits 21:10, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Delete, with thought. The categorization has merit but is hard to objectively quantify. The examples that spring to my mind are Rust Belt zones like those in Detroit, Gary, Flint, but even those are maybe more accurately called post-industrial districts, since the industries have moved out. It's just too much of a judgment call.-- Lockley ( talk) 21:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

- Merge the general practice for US categories is to put modifying terms like faculty at the end of the category name, at least in the case of universities and schools.

- Rename to Category:History of Quakerism per The Bushranger. The main article Quakers was moved in Sept 2011 following Talk:Quakers/Archive_5#Requested_Move, where "Quakerism" also had support. The history article was only moved this week, by the nominator Justin (koavf)with the edit summary "per main", without recent discussion as far as I can see, so its name should not be binding on this CFD. A 2009 discussion about the name of the history page records that the long name was chosen then because at the time it corresponded to the main article; otherwise, Quakerism was among favoured suggestions. – Fayenatic L ondon 18:55, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

- Rename to Category:Quaker universities and colleges for consistency with Category:Quakers and categories such as Category:Methodist universities and colleges. The "Universities and colleges affiliated with..." construction is needed only if the denominational grouping includes multiple denominational organizations, such as is the case with Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the United Methodist Church and other subcategories of Methodist universities and colleges. -- Orlady ( talk) 12:29, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Quaker universities and colleges. This is the general form that seems to be used such as Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Rename Per the above. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 03:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- rename per nom to match the sibling categories in Category:Christian universities and colleges by denomination. Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges is the exception and not the rule. Hmains ( talk) 04:58, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm... There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether the primary category parent is Category:Christian universities and colleges by denominational family (where "Quaker universities and colleges" would be appropriate) or Category:Christian universities and colleges by denomination. Those two category hierarchies seem to be treated as parallel to each other. Both the category under discussion here and Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges are at the top level in both of these categories. A few categories, such as Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the Mennonite Church and Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the United Church of Christ, are included only in the "denominations" tree and not also in the "denominational families" tree, and at least one ( Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the Orthodox Church) is only in the "families" tree but is named in the style of the "denominations" tree. (!!) For the Quaker category, my preference is still for the simpler name, "Quaker universities and colleges". -- Orlady ( talk) 17:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC) PS - I think that Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the Orthodox Church needs to be renamed "Eastern Orthodox universities and colleges". -- Orlady ( talk) 17:08, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I would certainly support Orlady's last nomination. Orthodox Church is not exactly an unambiguous term, even if we take the postion that there is enough unity among those who see some religious authority in the Patriarch of Constantinople to define them as a "Church".

- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Inappropriate topic for categorization. The concept of industrial district that was used to classify articles is not a "defining characteristic" of the articles placed in these categories -- and is not itself clearly defined. Thus, it does not meet the test defined at WP:Categorization, i.e., that categorization of articles should be based on "the defining characteristics of a subject of the article". Additionally, the places that have been added to these categories do not meet the test of being commonly and consistently defined as "industrial districts". The categorization concept might have merit in some individual countries, as suggested in discussion that has occurred at Category talk:Industrial districts in Russia, but it is not meaningful as a global category hierarchy. Orlady ( talk) 12:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Delete based on the article for this category, the contents should probably be sub-city areas of industrial concentration, but they are not. It is not well thought out and does not seem to be working as a way to categorize things. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment as the editor who made these categories, I'd like to explain myself. I'd admit that it was probably not well thought out. However, I believe that the options for browsing with a human geography perspective is limited. There are, as far as I've been able to establish, no categories or templates that enable the reader to learn more about how economy and geography interrelates. This might have been a poor attempt to create such a hierarchy, but I think Orlady is a little to categorical in their dismissal of the topic's appropriateness. Much like having been a fortified city shapes the physical structure of a city, a strong industrial presence may too, in addition to making its mark on local culture, and may very well be defining to its character. Nonetheless, I do not oppose the deletion of the categories, and take note of the criticism put forward. If other editors believe that there is some merit to the idea, bar this incarnation, they are welcome to discuss it on my talk page. benjamil talk/ edits 21:10, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Delete, with thought. The categorization has merit but is hard to objectively quantify. The examples that spring to my mind are Rust Belt zones like those in Detroit, Gary, Flint, but even those are maybe more accurately called post-industrial districts, since the industries have moved out. It's just too much of a judgment call.-- Lockley ( talk) 21:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment there are still factories in Detroit. Not as many as in the past, but not all the factories are gone. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:26, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

- Merge the general practice for US categories is to put modifying terms like faculty at the end of the category name, at least in the case of universities and schools. The only exception is in dealing with positions such as president where the category name is the title held, such as Category:Presidents of Brigham Young University, but Category:Brigham Young University faculty.

Renameper nom. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:54, 30 July 2012 (UTC)- Rename to Category:History of Quakerism to match parent category Category:Quakerism. - The Bushranger One ping only 16:56, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:History of Quakerism per The Bushranger. The main article Quakers was moved in Sept 2011 following Talk:Quakers/Archive_5#Requested_Move, where "Quakerism" also had support. The history article was only moved this week, by the nominator Justin (koavf)with the edit summary "per main", without recent discussion as far as I can see, so its name should not be binding on this CFD. A 2009 discussion about the name of the history page records that the long name was chosen then because at the time it corresponded to the main article; otherwise, Quakerism was among favoured suggestions. – Fayenatic L ondon 18:55, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

- Rename to Category:Quaker universities and colleges for consistency with Category:Quakers and categories such as Category:Methodist universities and colleges. The "Universities and colleges affiliated with..." construction is needed only if the denominational grouping includes multiple denominational organizations, such as is the case with Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the United Methodist Church and other subcategories of Methodist universities and colleges. -- Orlady ( talk) 12:29, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Quaker universities and colleges. This is the general form that seems to be used such as Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Rename Per the above. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 03:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- rename per nom to match the sibling categories in Category:Christian universities and colleges by denomination. Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges is the exception and not the rule. Hmains ( talk) 04:58, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm... There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether the primary category parent is Category:Christian universities and colleges by denominational family (where "Quaker universities and colleges" would be appropriate) or Category:Christian universities and colleges by denomination. Those two category hierarchies seem to be treated as parallel to each other. Both the category under discussion here and Category:Roman Catholic universities and colleges are at the top level in both of these categories. A few categories, such as Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the Mennonite Church and Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the United Church of Christ, are included only in the "denominations" tree and not also in the "denominational families" tree, and at least one ( Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the Orthodox Church) is only in the "families" tree but is named in the style of the "denominations" tree. (!!) For the Quaker category, my preference is still for the simpler name, "Quaker universities and colleges". -- Orlady ( talk) 17:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC) PS - I think that Category:Universities and colleges affiliated with the Orthodox Church needs to be renamed "Eastern Orthodox universities and colleges". -- Orlady ( talk) 17:08, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I would certainly support Orlady's last nomination. Orthodox Church is not exactly an unambiguous term, even if we take the postion that there is enough unity among those who see some religious authority in the Patriarch of Constantinople to define them as a "Church".
