NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:License migration

Propose renaming Category:License migration to Category:Wikipedia license migration

Nominator's rationale: In line with the usual naming pattern, Wikipedia categories should be appended with Wikipedia. Same goes to all other ViperSnake151 Talk 23:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shrug. I don't really care what you call it. Please note that the subcategories are intended to hold files and templates though. So, calling it a "Wikipedia" category isn't really correct. In a few days Category:License migration candidates will be among the largest categories on Wikipedia, since it will be initiated with nearly all GFDL images.

Category:Gun fu films

Category:Gun fu films - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: This empty category has been awaiting a decision on speedy deletion for 2 days. magnius (talk) 15:14, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Google cache has 63 films in this category. Can we have a rationale for its deletion and an explanation for its emptying? (The creator of the category placed a few films in it and these edits were reverted as 'vandalism' - how is it vandalism to create and populate a category?) Occuli (talk) 15:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply I have no idea who deleted those films, they must have been deleted on a film by film basis by editors who may have disagreed with the tagging of the films as "Gun Fu". I have no problem with it as such, it just needs to be populated or deleted, not stand there empty. magnius (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I now see from User talk:Lg16spears that there is a history of creating short-lived small categories. However 63 is not small. I have no idea whether there are 'Gun fu' films but a search on Gun fu reveals several and the article mentions others. Occuli (talk) 15:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the "vandalism" part was directed at something else, the way I understand it. Debresser (talk) 19:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK (wrong diff), but see also this diff and this diff. Occuli (talk) 19:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems a valid & useful sub-cat for category:Action films by genre & the Hong Kong equivalent. Johnbod (talk) 19:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and (re-)populate. Debresser (talk) 19:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2010s automobiles

Category:2010s automobiles - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete. :Nominator's rationale: this is renomination , Per WP:CRYSTAL, we should not be adding this kind of category until 2010. And we have cat for this already :Category:Upcoming automobiles Typ932 ^T·C 14:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep per cfd of 2 weeks ago. Occuli (talk) 15:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Occuli. Debresser (talk) 19:44, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Bedford Indiana

category:People from Bedford Indiana - merge into category:People from Bedford, Indiana

Nominator's rationale: obvious typo just left for someone else to pick up.... Ian Cairns (talk) 14:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Occuli (talk) 19:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedily agree Debresser (talk) 19:44, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Unmarried people

Category:Unmarried people - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Delete. There's been broad consensus in the past that we are not going to try to categorize people by marital status. In the past we've deleted categories for Undifferentiated spouses; Polygamists; Spouses of polygamists; Marriages by year; People who married their cousins; and Widows, but I've never seen a one for single people before.

Delete magnius (talk) 15:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. Debresser (talk) 19:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom. — Σ xplicit 20:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:X-Men characters

Propose renaming Category:X-Men characters to Category:Lists of X-Men characters

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Contents are in the form of lists. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:44, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename - both because it contains only lists and to discourage individual character articles from being added, contrary to current consensus. Otto4711 (talk) 23:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2010s American television series

Category:2010s American television series - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:CRYSTAL, we should not be adding this kind of category to TV series until 2010. — TAnthony^Talk 02:07, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename. Rename to Category:2010s television series. 'American' is unnecessary; there are shows that are confirmed to air in 2010 (Category:2010 television series debuts), this category fits fine. It just needs to be populated. — Σ xplicit 02:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There is nothing to populate the category with until we're actually in the 2010s. As with episode counts, we don't update these sort of stats until they actually occur. (There are too many variables in broadcasting that can lead to delays or cancellations.) --Ckatz^chat_spy 04:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - or rename per Explicit. Relax, be patient, we'll be there soon and if not Wikipedia will be a minor problem. There will be many series already scheduled to debut in 2010; this is a fact, not crystal ballery. There are also plenty of similar 2010s categories, including Category:2010s automobiles which was recently kept at cfd. Occuli (talk) 14:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Networks are beginning to announce schedules etc, so this list will soon be heavily populated magnius (talk) 15:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete --Typ932 ^T·C 15:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep by Occuli. And thanks for the laugh. Debresser (talk) 19:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
