Nominator's rationale: We don't usually categorize a place (or anything else for that matter) by characteristics of its name. This is the only "Places named after..." category. This could be listified. Note: This category currently has no parent categories.

Nominator's rationale: We generally consider award recipients categories to be overcategorization (see WP:OC#AWARD). This category currently has one article for a recipient (and has no parent categories). DexDor ( talk) 21:36, 16 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Merge. The International Programmes and External System are not separate institutions. The UoL renamed the External System to International Programmes to reflect the international nature of the external/distance learning student body. Even students in the UK are counted as International Progammes students. JJARichardson ( talk) 17:27, 16 July 2014 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic L ondon 16:03, 31 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: To follow the consensus within other articles at Category:Former organized territories of the United States where the 'the' has been removed. Ricky81682 ( talk) 07:50, 16 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, and there has been a discussion on some of these. In at least one case the comment was that both were valid so rename to remove the 'the'. So it is far from clear that this change has universal support, is needed or is correct. Vegaswikian ( talk) 18:17, 20 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Rename When we have a sentence "Oregon Territory existed from 1848 to 1859." It shows that generally "the" is not a needed article in front of the name. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 22:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Rename. I'm not as familiar with writings on this territory as I am with Utah Territory and some others, but it's my sense that per common usage, "the" may be—but is just as often not—used before the names of historical U.S. territories. Most of the categories for other territories do not include the "the", so I support removing it in this case, because it makes sense to me to have a standard which is applied in the same way for U.S. territory categories. (I'm open to more information if a user can demonstrate that the "the" is used in an overwhelming majority of cases in which this particular territory is referred to in reliable sources.)
