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

Nominator's rationale: Both are hidden categories, and there is no intended difference in meaning or purpose. {{Incomplete list}} only requires the unlabelled parameter |film for the target category, but if the parameter is instead labelled |type=film, then it populates the first category instead. There seem to be no other instances of "type=" being used in this template, so I propose to remove that part of the template. (For template editors: the "TMCDA" line at the end can be removed, and "type" parameter merged with the unnamed first parameter the "type" parameter can be removed from the "TMCDA" line at the end, and merged with the unnamed first parameter. There is now a working version with the required changes at
Template:Incomplete list/sandbox.) –

Category:1500 V DC multiple units
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: I'd like to preface this discussion with the fact that I don't want these categories to be split, but whatever the consensus ends up being, I will respect it.
So many trains and we need a subcategory. Maybe Japanese units in their own list since they make up the majority?
They did not gain consensus before eventually beginning splitting them off in early July - almost three months later. I'm mainly listing this here (and will be linking this discussion at
WT:TRAINS and
WT:TIJ) because I feel that a recategorization on such a scale (there are over 300 articles within these two categories, mind you) requires consensus and can't simply be
WP:BOLDly done.

Oppose as lister. I'm not even sure if now is the time or if this is the appropriate way to segregate Japanese 1500V units from those from other countries; there are significantly fewer that aren't from Japan than from Japan, and I feel that it'd be far more feasible to split off those from other countries first.

Splitting the smaller countries off first would make it look more awkward that we aren't doing it to the biggest one. What other way would we even split them? I've already split off the categories for Kinki Sharyo and Nippon Sharyo Rolling stock into multiple units and other. Nippon Sharyo already had a category for locomotives anyway.

Further comments. I do not understand nominator's reasoning. If there are significantly fewer that aren't from Japan than from Japan, then obviously Japan is the first country to split off. By the way, I do not have an opinion on whether or not we should have this kind of intersections at all.

Fair enough, but there are also non-Japanese. The only thing that needs to happen (if the Japanese category is kept) is to populate it further.

If there are so many entries in a category from one country that they are overwhelming the entries from other countries I don't understand why we would not split the items from that country into their own subcategory? In other words, I support the subcategory existing but I can't work out whether this is supporting or opposing the nomination.

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

Nominator's rationale: While the specificifity of (state) is often relevant to avoid confusion between city and state of New York, there are no villages in New York City, because it's a city. ~

Oppose I believe it is Wikipedia policy that a category tree name has to be carried down to ALL of its subcategories regardless of whether one of the more precise subcategories makes it unnecessary.

Comment -- How do we determine which places are villages and which are towns or cities? For that reasons, the categories are all at Populated places in foo. In this particular case the disambiguator (state) might appear unnecessary, but does not New York City have a Greenwich village?

Oppose we seperate city and state with identifiers because one could confuse one with the other. There are some places where villages exist as sub-units of a city, so thinking the villages are in New York City unless we make it clear is a believable confusion.

Category:CGI characters
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

Nominator's rationale: While a character being animated can perhaps be defining, I have no idea how a character specifically being computer animated is defining for that character. Especially given the existence of stuff like CGI anime where the goal is to mimic traditional animation as much as possible. I believe this category should be merged into nonexistence, with
Category:Video game characters being outright removed. (Video game characters are NOT necessarily CGI).
Category:Disney CGI characters should likewise be merged into
Category:Disney animated characters and so on.
