- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Trans-oceanic aviation..-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 22:09, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. The subcategory here is about transportation in the Arctic region and includes transportation in Alaska which is not part of an ocean as far as I know. The two articles describe a turning point for early commercial aviation in one ocean and an old planned stop over route in another. I suppose that it is possible that there could be some articles about flying over oceans in general where these articles could go in a category for that, but at this time there are not enough articles. No upmerge since the three entries have acceptable categories in good trees. Vegaswikian ( talk) 20:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- Delete, but Category:Aviation in the Arctic should be in Category:Aviation (The 2 articles are (now) in other categories under Category:Aviation). DexDor ( talk) 21:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC) (category creator)
- Comment There are several articles in Category:History of aviation which relate to aviation and which could usefully be linked to the main category eg Category:Atlantic Ocean as they relate to a bodies of water rather than a country. If added the category title could be Category:Aviation over the Atlantic Ocean rather than Category:Aviation in the Atlantic Ocean though! Re mid-ocean aviation incidents eg Hawaii Clipper or China Eastern Airlines Flight 583 see Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in international airspace.
- Atlantic: Transatlantic flight, Daily Mail Trans-Atlantic Air Race, First aerial crossing of the South Atlantic, North Atlantic air ferry route in World War II, South Atlantic air ferry route in World War II, Crimson Route.
- Pacific: Dole Air Race, South Pacific air ferry route in World War II: Hugo999 ( talk) 11:35, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Tentative rename to something like
Category:Trans-oceanic aviation and purge. Hugo999 makes a good point about the existence of articles which relate primarily to aviation across an ocean, and it seems to me that we should try to construct a category which reflects that. The current category doesn't do that, because it seems to lead to
Category:Aviation in the Arctic. The Arctic category is rather pointless, because it simply applies a new geographic framework to material which is already well-categorised. The situation would be even worse if we had a
Category:Aviation in the Pacific, which would rapidly fill with all aviation topics in the
Pacific region.
However, as Hugo999 points wrt the Atlantic, we do have a lot of material which relates to transoceanic airflight. Many of Hugo's examples are of historical incidents, but the concept has much wider importance: the trans-Pacific air-routes developed since the introduction of the Boeing 747 have created dominant new political and economic linkages. Just as trans-atlantic steamship crossings tranfsormed 19th-century economies. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 09:21, 15 October 2012 (UTC) - Comment Another possible name for a new category is Category:International air routes which could include cross-Channel or England-France flight (compare Category:Shipping routes & Category:Trade routes). Re international flights in the 1930s, while Pan-American Airways routes were mostly over water, the Imperial Airways routes through the Middle East, Asia to Australia and to South Africa were largely over land. NB: relevant possible parent categories are Category:International waters, Category:International air transport and Category:History of aviation. Hugo999 ( talk) 11:13, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Laboratories to Category:Laboratories (scientific research)
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. As the main article points out, laboratory has many meanings. So clarifying the name of this category to match the description seems like a wise move. Vegaswikian ( talk) 02:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

- I could argue that in the US, laboratories are most often used for clinical labs where you go to get blood drawn and analyzed. In any case, ambiguous article names can be acceptable and there is no requirement that in that case a category must match the article name. I will add a request to rename the article noting that the WP:RM backlog is currently 2 weeks shy of 2 months. Vegaswikian ( talk) 17:49, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Category:Scientific research facilities; avoids the above-mentioned ambiguity of "Laboratory" and also the ambiguity of whether a "lab" is the building or just rooms in the building.
