1st-century Christian church councils

Category:2nd-century Christian church councils, despite the fact that no articles exist for it. Should that be allowed to stand in the way of relentless numeracy?

- No, if there is nothing for a category you don't create it. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep Per above. See WP:SMALLCAT and WP:DASH as well. And, no a category that will always be empty should not be created. We have Category:1982 births and Category:1754 births, but not Category:2208 BC births for a good reason. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 17:35, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

- Keep - the parent categories ( Category:1st-century Christianity & Category:3rd-century Christianity) of the two century specific categories show why these should be kept separate.

Category:Amusement rides by opening year
- 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 to names proposed by Eureka Lott. Dana boomer ( talk) 00:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Amusement rides by opening year to Category:Amusement rides introduced by year
- Propose renaming Category:Roller coasters by opening year to Category:Roller coasters introduced by year
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. I think that the introductions tree and the associated naming change is a better name for this category. While it is true that the rides opened in the said year, they also were introduced in that year. We have established trees for introductions and establishments but not for opened in. If this change is approved I would also like to recreate century categories for the rides which were removed in a previous discussion. At that time this category was small and the argument was that we don't need to do that. So far there are rides in three different centuries, and I suspect that there are articles on earlier ones. Also both major parents after this change group by century. Vegaswikian ( talk) 20:51, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Note: If this is approved, a template change will be needed. That template change can also be used to move all of the articles into the new tree, Category:Amusement rides introduced in yyyy. The bot can be used to move the text for the subcategories. If approved, leave a talk note for the template work. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:42, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. I always thought these were an odd entry in the Category:Establishments by year set of categories, they would be better in Category:Introductions by year. Tim! ( talk) 08:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- The rationale makes sense, but the proposed names sound a little awkward to me.
Category:Amusement park ride introductions by year might better match the other subcategories of
Category:Introductions by year. -
Eureka Lott 16:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Park could be an issue since all of these rides are not in amusement parks. As memory serves, there is a rather old carousel in a Paris park (not the amusement type of park) from the 1700s or 1800s that would not fit. What about a ride that is only on the traveling carnival circuit like
Eurostar? Then for modern rides, we have several not in parks like
The Roller Coaster? Do any of your local malls have a carousel or another amusement ride?
Vegaswikian (

- The result of the discussion was: Rename. Dana boomer ( talk) 00:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Pease family (Darlington) to Category:Pease family
- Nominator's rationale: We have no other Pease family categories. The article is at Pease family (Darlington), but that doesn't mean we have to distinguish here. If we are uncomfortable going this far, then it should be renamed to Category:Pease family of Darlington-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 20:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to oppose as the category is specifically for this family which has a larger number of well-known members but there are many well-known Peases who are not in this family and have no connection (or no near connection) to this family except last name (but they themselves are in Pease families and some might be closely related to each other though not yet noted). -- Erp ( talk) 21:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: This category, unlike most in Category:Families, contains musicals, locations, charities, etc. But I still think it qualifies for renaming to Category:Trapp family, because everything derives from the family.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 20:34, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Introductions to Category:Introduction articles
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category is for special purpose high level introduction articles. The problem here is that introductions are are a full tree that can not roll up the the logical parent and conversely, this category does not lead down to them. Category:Outlines may be a similar case. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:44, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

The bot can be used to move the text for the subcategories. If approved, leave a talk note for the template work. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:42, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. I always thought these were an odd entry in the Category:Establishments by year set of categories, they would be better in Category:Introductions by year. Tim! ( talk) 08:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- The rationale makes sense, but the proposed names sound a little awkward to me.
Category:Amusement park ride introductions by year might better match the other subcategories of
Category:Introductions by year. -

- Park could be an issue since all of these rides are not in amusement parks. As memory serves, there is a rather old carousel in a Paris park (not the amusement type of park) from the 1700s or 1800s that would not fit. What about a ride that is only on the traveling carnival circuit like
Eurostar? Then for modern rides, we have several not in parks like
The Roller Coaster? Do any of your local malls have a carousel or another amusement ride?

- The result of the discussion was: Rename. Dana boomer ( talk) 00:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Pease family (Darlington) to Category:Pease family
- Nominator's rationale: We have no other Pease family categories. The article is at Pease family (Darlington), but that doesn't mean we have to distinguish here. If we are uncomfortable going this far, then it should be renamed to Category:Pease family of Darlington-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 20:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to oppose as the category is specifically for this family which has a larger number of well-known members but there are many well-known Peases who are not in this family and have no connection (or no near connection) to this family except last name (but they themselves are in Pease families and some might be closely related to each other though not yet noted). -- Erp ( talk) 21:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Trapp to Category:Trapp family
- Nominator's rationale: This category, unlike most in Category:Families, contains musicals, locations, charities, etc. But I still think it qualifies for renaming to Category:Trapp family, because everything derives from the family.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 20:34, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Comment
Category:Schönborn and
Category:Lichnowsky are proposed for speedy renaming. These three are the anomalies within

- Propose renaming Category:Introductions to Category:Introduction articles
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category is for special purpose high level introduction articles. The problem here is that introductions are are a full tree that can not roll up the the logical parent and conversely, this category does not lead down to them. Category:Outlines may be a similar case. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:44, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Jackson family (Chicago) to Category:Jesse Jackson family
- Nominator's rationale: When the last name is not enough to disambiguate, the common format is to add the first name. Could also be
Category:Jackson family of Chicago or
Category:Jackson family of Illinois.--

- Propose merging Category:Lego video games to Category:Lego games
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Why on Earth should there be two nearly indentical categories with the same type of articles, but with some articles categorized on one and others categorized on the other? It seems to me that this could be very misleading and confusing, and it would be much better if the second category were to be merged into the first one. It's as simple as that. 69.204.38.3 ( talk) 10:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
