Category:Members of the Special Forces of the United States
- 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) 23:18, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Since Special Forces is often used to describe all Special Forces of a nation's military this nomination is to clarify between United States Army Special Forces and Special Forces. I propose moving it to make it very clear that the category by name is referring strictly to the U.S. Army Special Forces. — - dain omite 20:20, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. — - dain omite 20:26, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Rename - Rename to "Members of the Green Berets" since the list is not just limited to US Army Special Forces, but limited to the Green Berets. They may be the main US Army Special Force, but they're not the only one. ie the Rangers, etc.

- United States Army Rangers are an elite army unit which doesnt use the term "Special Forces" as Special Forces (United States Army) refers to a whole different distinctive group Gnan garra 14:23, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
- There is a small but subtle difference in the verbage United States Army Special Forces and United States Army special forces, in that the first one is a proper noun for Special Forces (United States Army) and the second is referring to special forces in the Army. Special Forces in caps automatically excludes all non Special Forces soldiers. — dain omite 07:36, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- Rename per nomination to be consistent with Special Forces (United States Army) which states The United States Army Special Forces, also known as the Green Berets.... and with the name of each group within the forces structure. Gnan garra 14:23, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: That Memorial_Bridge and Veterans'_Memorial_Bridge are disambiguation pages (rather than articles) indicates that this is (mainly) an example of WP:OC#SHAREDNAME. It's likely that the main purpose of all these bridges is transport rather than as a memorial. Much infrastructure ( airports, schools, roads etc) is named to commemorate a person ( sometimes a legendary person) or a group of people and the place may even have a related plaque or statue, but that's not really a WP:DEFINING characteristic and there are better ways to categorize things like bridges - by type (e.g. suspension), purpose (e.g. footbridge) and location. A merge to Category:Bridges is unnecessary as all the articles are probably in subcats of that already (those I've checked are all in "Bridges in <state>" categories etc). Note: Before deleting, someone could check whether any of these should be added to the dab pages. Note: Category:Memorial highways (and subcats) has similar issues, but would probably be better considered in a separate CFD. DexDor ( talk) 05:32, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete This has no relevance to the use or function of the bridge. This is categorizing by shared name. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 20:46, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete virtually every thing is named after someone these days; not defining. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 01:44, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OC#SHAREDNAME. That a bridge is named as the "XYZ Memorial Bridge" is not a comment on its function, and thus not a defining characteristic of the bridge, but is merely a naming custom. Bearcat ( talk) 03:26, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Category:Terms for females

- The result of the discussion was: Purge and upmerge. I believe that the consensus is clear that the category is problematic and needs to go. So I'll leave it to the more informed to do the cleanup. Afterwards, leave a note on my talk page or list for deletion after the cleanup to have the category deleted.

- Propose renaming Category:Terms for females to Category:Terms for female humans
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The title literally implies it is about terms for all female animals.

- Support. I'm the original creator. The new title would be more precise. Apparently, I can't make a similar move for Category:Terms for males, but it should be moved to the corresponding new title for the same reason (I created that also). Nick Levinson ( talk) 16:38, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete, or rename to something without the word "terms". The articles in this category are not about terminology. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 10:23, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
- Delete This is a collection of articles about occupations, articles about words that stereotype, articles that are about things, and is really not held together by its claimed name. Those that are really terms are already in better and more concise categories. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:44, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
- Purge and Upmerge. This is incorrect categorization (per BHG and JPL), but some articles (e.g.
Girl) should be in
Category:Women or
Category:Females. 19:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
- Edit into list or index or upmerge (adding to my vote above for more options). Editing would have to be done before category deletion, so if deletion is preferred then it should be delayed long enough to allow moving the category page across namespaces and writing the list or index before the article titles can be forgotten. Upmerging would be easier and would work, since Category:Women does not have many members now. I'm not clear which terms are about occupations and not about the persons holding those occupations so I'm not sure the category is inapropos and I don't know which more specific categories are believed to apply, but these are alternative approaches. Similar reasoning applies to the male counterparts. Nick Levinson ( talk) 19:01, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
- upmerge some terms that are truly articles about generic terms applied to women to Category:Women and then delete -- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 15:58, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
