Propose renaming Category:Famous climbs in cycle racing to Category:Climbs in cycle racing

Nominator's rationale: Rename, Famous is pejorative, simply removing this word leaves the category essentially the same meaning. I tried, but failed, to think of a more appropriate adjective! Severo ^{T C} 23:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Rename - I think Climbs in cycle racing is appropiate. The current name of the category just leads to discussion on whether a climb is famous or not Drunt 23:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Victims of Russian political repressions ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I believe this category is an out right violation of Wikipedia:NPOV policies. First it's name: "victimsof Russian political repressions"? And also one may dispute wether these people are indeed victims of repressions. QZXA2 21:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep or perhaps rename as "Victims of Russian repressions" by analogy to Category:Victims of Soviet repressions. "Russian" here means "in contemporary Russia" rather than in the Soviet Union. This does not seem to be a problematic category because we have a general Category:Political prisoners and victims and even more general Category:Victims and Category:Political repression. Biophys 21:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Delete inherently POV category. While there is a usual consensus about most of the victims of Soviet repressions there is no such consensus about convicts in contemporary Russia. All such cases are controversial and putting the category as a fact without possibility of presenting the opposing view is violation of WP:NPOV and usually WP:BLP (the judges, jurrors, etc. are usually living people capable of firing libel suits). Alex Bakharev 04:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Comment. But this is only a matter of sourcing. If reliable sources claim this to be a politically motivated prosecution, it belongs here, no matter if this is Soviet Union, Russia, or China. If this category is deleted for any reason, all the corresponding pages should be moved to the parent Category:Political repression in Russia, which in turn belong to Category: Political repressions by country. This will only result in a less convenient categorization of the data. Biophys 14:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

This has nothing to do with WP:BLP, since those are biographies of victims, not biographies of jurors or judges. Biophys 18:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

*Rename to a more neutral format, such as Category:Russian victims of human rights abuses, per other subcats of Category:Victims of human rights abuses. The term "political repression" is POV, but "human rights abuse" can be objectively measured against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Cases such as that of Larisa Arap should indeed be grouped together, but not under a POV term. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Comment.Such category certainly makes a lot of sense, but it is much wider than "political repression" or simply "repression". Usually, "repression" means illegal arrests, imprisonment of political opponents, executions, etc. "Human rights abuses" may include such things as violating property rights, rights of sexual minorities, disability rights, etc. I respectfully disagree that "repression" is POV term. It is only logical to have Category: Political repressions by country as we currently do. Biophys 14:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Vanity record labels ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: It is difficult to construe the modifier "vanity" as anything other than pejorative. Skomorokh ^incite 21:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep - this was just renamed from "vanity labels" less than a month ago. Vanity label doesn't indicate that the modifier is generally or even often seen as pejorative. Otto4711 21:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep and rename to Category:Artist-run labels. On the one hand, this is a useful category. On the other hand "vanity label" seems to be music industry jargon for an artist-run label - Article "Just Don't Call it a 'Vanity' Label" uses "musician-run" or "composer-run" but artist-run seems more generic and more used. Google Search hits: 1,460 for "artist-run label" and 1,520 for "artist-run labels" ; 199 for "artist-run record label" and 94 for "artist-run record labels". Of course, article Vanity label should be moved accordingly and its lead namecheck both names... —  Komusou  ^talk @ 00:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment (mainly to Otto4711): Wikipedia is not a source. Our current article at Vanity label is simply incomplete and badly titled, and can't be used as proof unless this point is sourced. Articles such as from Entertainment Weekly or from CBS News clearly use "artist-run label" and only pejoratively "vanity label". —  Komusou  ^talk @ 00:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep per Otto. "Artist-run" is surely a decorous and misleading euphemism in most cases. Aren't they run by grubby businessmen just like the rest, but even more so? Johnbod 00:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep per Otto and Johnbod, either the businessmen take money up-front from the band, because it is so unlikely to produce sales in meaningful volume or they make it on volume sales; this classifies the former business model. Carlossuarez46 02:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment: No one addressed the hard fact that the current name is pejorative and jargon, vs. the proposed rename which is neutral and in regular use (as shown in the WNYC, EW, and CBS News citations above). Wikipedia is descriptive and not here to judge on "grubby businessmen" or to concoct our own terminology, that's just POV-pushing.

Propose renaming Category:Psychedelic groups to Category:Psychedelic musical groups

Nominator's rationale: To follow the musical groups by genre category format, and since this is a subcategory of the musical groups category, it should follow the same format. Sdornan 16:46, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Comment: Category:Musical groups by genre really doesn't have a convention. Sometimes it uses "musical groups", sometimes "music groups", sometimes "ensembles", sometimes "bands", sometimes other things entirely. And there's a few cases where trying to rename everything for consistency would be more confusing than it's worth, i.e. Category:Brass bands, which is the common name. In some cases, there's also a danger of confusion with Category:Musicals if we rename (though I suppose this probably isn't such a case, but changing e.g. "rock music groups" to "rock musical groups" would be). That said, I suppose it might be nice if this category actually implied some connection with music, so I don't know.... Xtifr _tälk 08:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply
• Rename not for the non-existent consistency but to get a mention of music into the name, as per my comment above.

Category:Failed Microsoft initiatives ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Delete Inherently POV; there can never be a neutral, verifiable definition of a flop. There was once a series of lists on this topic, but they were deleted a while ago (example: miscellaneous commercial failures, aviation flops, etc. This CFD also includes all subcategories, one of which, Category:Commercial failure lists, has only one article. szyslak 11:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep everything. It belongs to Category:Failure and finally to Category:Reliability engineering. There is nothing POV in failures. They are a part of life. Failures (including commercial ones) must be studied to avoid them in the future. Biophys 22:15, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply
  • The POV is not in the concept of commercial failure, which I imagine could be a valid article topic. Rather, my concerns are about whether Wikipedia should enforce the POV that "this or that is a failure". Take the Boeing 747SP, for example. It's in this category, but the article itself says nothing about failures. Just 45 were built compared to nearly 1,400 for the 747 as a whole. But is that because it was a "failure", or because Boeing built it as a niche-market product? What is the boundary between success and failure, or between failure and mere disappointment? Yes, Wikipedia can address the subject of commercial failure, but this isn't the way.
    • If someone classifies a specific article as a "commercial failure", this should be justified. For example, a reliable source claims this to be a "commercial failure". This has nothing to do with the category. Biophys 15:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Most articles in that category are distinguishable for the sole reason that they're failures. Irk _{Come in for a drink!} 22:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Yes, even 10 sources calling a product a failure doesn't make it true. But remember: "verifiability, not truth". Biophys 20:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Delete. I'm with Alkivar on this; this is one of those cases where a list is going to work better because the context needs to be discussed and inclusion needs to be sourced. The 747SP is a good example. Whether it was a failure or not would rather depend on how many Boeing expected to sell. There's no doubt that things like the Ford Edsel are commercial failures, but I believe more Edsels were sold than Facel Vegas - does that make the Vega a commercial failure? It's not objective or uniform enough to be a clear-cut call. Guy ( Help!) 21:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Question. If you believe that "list is going to work better", why did you vote to delete the list of commercial failures too? I hope this is not a potential conflict of interest. Biophys 21:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC) reply
    • WP:AGF. szyslak 10:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC) reply
• Keep Commercial failure is more verifiable than most things. Anyone who thinks that a significant variant modern jetliner selling only 45 planes can make a profit must be kidding.

• Move article to Nord-Pas-de-Calais, following the lead of the French WP article and leave the category where it is. Or the other way round is ok, since both options are flawed.

Category:Secret Service Inc. albums ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Part of Category:Albums by record label. The record label article was deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Secret Service Inc.. I suspect this means the category should go to, but am not certain. GRBerry 02:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply

• Keep unless the articles in the category are deleted. They should have a home in Category:Albums by record label, if they exist. LeSnail 13:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply
• Delete - I'm unconvinced that every album article needs a home in Albums by record label. Label doesn't strike me as defining an album the way that artist does. If the record label is not notable enough to sustain an article then I don't think there should be categories named for it. Otto4711 18:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC) reply
• Delete: album-by-label is not part of the standard categorization scheme laid out by WP:ALBUM. There's no problem with using such categories if they exist, but I don't believe there's any reason to retain such categories just to have one tagging each album article. There are too many obscure small labels and single-artist (self-publishing) labels. Some artists have even had multiple single-artist labels! Xtifr _tälk 08:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC) reply

The result of the debate was delete. Apparently redundant, and presently empty. -- cjllw ʘ TALK 09:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC) reply
