Category:District in Washington metropolitan area

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.
The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I can't see a reason why we need this category. For one thing, metro-area categories aren't generally subdivided by jurisdiction type; for example, there is no Category:Cities in the Washington metropolitan area. Moreover, this seems to be meant exclusively for DC; the category doesn't include Montgomery County Public Schools (Maryland), or Arlington Village Historic District (Arlington, Virginia), or the Friendship Village special taxation district, or the transportation-improvement district for Virginia State Route 28, or any other kinds of districts in the region. There's no point in having a category for all districts in the metro area (or a category tree for them), and no point in having a category just for DC within the metro-area category.

Nominator's rationale: I don't believe all of these are a single family; listing a bunch of people and a bunch of mathematical terms in the same category because they all have Lyapunov in the title is also incorrect. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 13:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Same as all other subcategories in Category:Anime and manga by topic. Was missed in the previous mass rename because it was miscategorized in Category:Anime and manga by genre. However, this is a topic and not an actual genre. — Farix ( t |  c) 13:09, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I agree with that. I just didn't consider the difference between topic and actual genre when I created the category.-- Moon218 ( talk) 14:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Deleted by RHaworth
Nominator's rationale: Not a category at all but two external links. Was created by a spammer. I couldn't find a good CSD criteria for this, so I'm sending it here. L293D (  •  ) 07:46, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • L293D, this got deleted by User:RHaworth with a custom rationale, "Not a category page. Just external links". Good use of WP:IAR, I'd say, although it probably could have been deleted under G11 too. Nyttend ( talk) 23:11, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, almost every calendar coincides with a particular country, a particular region, or a particular religion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:15, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Those are comments about the target categories. Happy to discuss them at some other occasion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 11:58, 1 October 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Not all of the proposed categories' members are religious. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 00:48, 5 October 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Category:Observances on non-Gregorian calendars on procedural grounds, as you've not specified something to do with the individual articles within the category. Propose something to do with them, or advance an argument why we shouldn't have them in any category of this sort, and I'll be willing to strike this vote. Nyttend ( talk) 23:09, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • The individual articles are scheduled according to a country calendar or religious calendar that does not have its own subcategory yet (most of them Buddhist). The articles are not different from the subcategories in this respect. As the articles are already in the right country or religion category, they do not have to be in a calendar category as well. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:24, 24 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • oppose at least in part Looking at Category:Observances set by the Hebrew calendar, there are holidays set by the Israeli government whose dates are determined according to the Hebrew calendar, but which are not holy days, as for example Jabotinsky Day. I'm afraid this is going to have to be addressed on a category-by-category basis. Mangoe ( talk) 15:06, 27 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose in part -- Coptic and Ethiopian festivals should not be necessarily merged to Christian ones, since these independent churches are liable to have festivals that differ from those of the Catholic (and Protestant) and Orthodox traditions.

Regional rail

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.
The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:59, 6 October 2018 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: remove "systems" per article name Regional rail. (Besides the word "system" is ambiguous. Regional trains and intercity trains often make use of the same railway track so at most it might be called Regional train "service".) In addition the format of the category name has been changed from "Fooian regional rail" to "Regional rail in Foo", which is the more usual format except in case of nationality of people.
Please note that there is a different nomination for Category:United States regional rail systems, for renaming to Category:Commuter rail systems in the United States, see this discussion. Likewise the Danish, Finnish and Spanish category may be renamed to commuter rail as well. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:38, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- There is no need to alter the British category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Support per nom and as nominator of the similar discussion. The word “systems” is entirely unimportant provided that all commuter rail and regional rail categories are consistent with each other and across the wiki. Lost on  Belmont  3200N1000W  ( talk) 01:00, 1 October 2018 (UTC) reply
