Nominator's rationale:Rename. This failed a
recent CFD, but the category is still oddly named, so here is my suggestion. Maybe a better one can be determined by consensus. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me23:36, 31 July 2012 (UTC)reply
Rename to
Category:Compilation albums of number-one songs and revise scope. The category's current scope—compilation albums of number-one songs by a single artist—is needlessly narrow. We should expand its scope to include any compilation album of number-one songs. If we are to retain the single-artist bit, then we need to consider three factors: (1) we should indicate that the albums categorized are compilation albums (see
Category:Compilation albums); (2) we should use number-one songs instead of the more ambiguous number-one hits; and (3) we must indicate that the category includes only albums of songs by a single artist. And, thus, we are left with:

I like Black Falcon's suggestions. No reason to exclude something that actually fits the criteria. "Songs" is probably better than "hits". --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me00:15, 16 August 2012 (UTC)reply
I'd like to ask, earnestly and without any hint of sarcasm: What's special about compilation albums of number-one songs by a single artist? (I note my motivation only because I know how text can be misconstrued and how difficult it is to convey tone in written form.) Is this a distinct, recognized (by
reliable sources) topic of interest? -- Black Falcon(

Category:American soccer logos
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: Two categories covering identical fields with different names, sadly a problem of my own making over four years ago. I suggest using United States soccer logos as American soccer logos is an ambiguous name.

Support Notwithstanding the
MoS on this issue, I have a weak preference for calling the merged category USA soccer logos, as the proposed name might imply that the category is for logos directly relating to
U.S. Soccer. But this merge is better than the status quo. —

Support - I think this suggested title is fine, since the "soccer" starts with a lower case letter, so the resemblance to
US Soccer is minimised. –

Reverse merge to
Category:American soccer logos. American is the universal demonymic adjective in Wikipedia for topics relating to the United States of America— as this usage happens to be the almost exclusive use of the term in any variety of the English language— and there is no reason why this category should be different from
the others.-
