January 18

Category:C plus plus standard library

Redundant, replaced by Category:C++ standard library. No pages link to it, currently exists as a {{categoryredirect}} 82.7.125.142 23:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Radio networks in Mexico

Empty and duplicate of Category:Mexican radio networks. Vegaswikian 22:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:West Virginia culture

Abandoned and unpopulated. Created December 3, 2004 and never touched again. Whether this should be deleted or moved to Category:Underpopulated categories, I can't decide. --Aaron 21:17, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at how other states handle it. I've moved a couple of tiems down into this category. I'll look for more possibilities later, but there are not a huge amount. But I would vote Keep just to be consistent with the rest of the states. - TexasAndroid 22:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians against Scientology

This is an attack. It is inappropriate for Wikipedia. See WP:NOT Harvestdancer 21:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This category does not help Wikipedians create an encyclopedia. --JWSchmidt 22:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:U.S. generals

Moved from speedy where it was proposed to remove the abbreviation to make it Category:United States generals by Vegaswikian at 03:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Objection Excessive subcategory. Delete and place the four subcategories directly into Category:American generals. Choalbaton 05:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - No objection to deleting from speedy if you wish to add below as a standard CfD. Vegaswikian 08:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New proposal is therefore to merge it into Category:American generals. Having United States generals as a sub-category of American generals will cause confusion even if there is a technical reason for it. There are only half a dozen subcategories in total. Choalbaton 21:06, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. It seemed confusing when I ran into it, and your solution seems to work. Vegaswikian 22:17, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:High school sports to Category:High schools sports in the United States

This is the U.S. category of Category:Children's sport, a sibling of Category:School sport in the United Kingdom. It should be given an unambiguous name to avoid confusion in the future. Usage of the term "High school" is not consistent around the world, and it would not be appropriate to apply it to all countries, but it is correct for the U.S. Choalbaton 20:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Rename to Category:High school sports in the United States. The phrase "high schools sports" is incorrect in American English; it's "high school sports." — Dale Arnett 21:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Human isolation

Reason: written as an article; empty category. (I have already copied its contents to Solitude).--Mareino 18:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete empty, unused - • Dussst • ^{T | C} 18:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of physically disabled politicians to Category:Physically disabled politicians

The category is not, itself, a list. Remove "List of" from category name. - TexasAndroid 15:06, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename as per nominator. Carina22 18:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, rename per nom - • Dussst • ^{T | C} 18:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of schools in the Gisborne Region

Same as below (Several items down now). Listify into a real list and delete the category. - TexasAndroid 15:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of people with a kunya to Category:People with a kunya

The category is not, itself, a list. Remove "List of" from category name. - TexasAndroid 14:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of people by name index-only pages to Category:Lists of people by name index-only pages

This is not a list (singular) but a set of lists (plural). Rename to reflect that his is a category containing lists, nto a list itself. - TexasAndroid 14:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename, and I'd also like to strike the "index-only pages" part (since I fail to see the point of it), i.e. Category:Lists of people by name. R adiant _>|< 16:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of marae in the Gisborne Region

Same as below. Listify into a real list and delete the category. - TexasAndroid 14:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of People from Gisborne/East Coast area

Should be a real list, not a category/list hybrid. Listify and delete. - TexasAndroid 14:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of Freudians to Category:Freudians

I tagged and listed this way back in November, but somehow the listing got deleted. Edit conflict? Who knows. Doesn't really matter. Relisting it here and now. In general, this is not a list, but a category of the Freudians, and should be named to match that purpose. - TexasAndroid 14:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename as per nominator. Carina22 18:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hawthorn Football Club players to Category:Hawthorn Hawks players

Merge into category. When you look at all the other listing of Category:VFL/AFL players, they all use their nicknames, rather than "Football Club" at the end. This is to ensure consistency. Rogerthat 13:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate listing. Already listed for merge on January 12th. - TexasAndroid 14:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sport venues in Northern Ireland to Category:Sports venues in Northern Ireland

Merge into category in the usual format. Choalbaton 08:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Merge as per nominator. Carina22 18:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge basically identical - • Dussst • ^{T | C} 18:52, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Shortwave radio stations in Florida to Category:Shortwave radio stations in the United States

According to the List of American shortwave broadcasters, there are only two shortwave stations in the state of Florida, and it is unlikely there will ever be more than a handful. Given the international character of shortwave stations, it makes more sense to have these categorized by countries, or in some cases even continents. DHowell 05:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as per nom. --Aaron 21:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Palaces in America

Incorrectly named duplicate of Category:Palaces in USA, which I have suggested in the discussion below should be renamed Category:Palaces in the United States Delete. Choalbaton 03:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Vegaswikian 05:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Canadian ice hockey venues

Empty duplicate. See category:Ice hockey venues in Canada. Choalbaton 03:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Delete Carina22 18:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Palaces in USA merge into Category:Official residences or a subcat

"Palaces" is a really inappropriate term to describe official residences in the U.S. There already appears to be some sort of hierarchy developing in Category:Official residences. The category as currently being populated is including Governors mansions as well as mayoral residences as well as the U.S. president's residences. older ≠ wiser 03:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rename Category:Palaces in the United States. The only palaces in the United States are those of the Hawaiian royal family and no-one is going to build any more. I will take everything else out and make a note that nothing else should be added. Choalbaton 03:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep and Rename per Choalbaton. The fact is that there is a royal place in the US. Vegaswikian 05:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, do we really need a category containing a single item and that is extremely unlikely to ever increase? older ≠ wiser 13:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I suppose I should have used the wording from the Hawaii article, the only official royal residence in the United States today. There were several in the past and there is no reason why someone would not write an article about them. Vegaswikian 22:28, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename Category:Palaces in the United States. As there are palaces in the USA we need a category for palaces in the USA. Carina22 18:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
