March 26

Category:Ilia to Category:Elis

To follow English usage and that of most of the articles. Septentrionalis 19:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rationalize subject-oriented subcategories of Lists category

Rename all Since the proposal to change them all to the other way failed, I'm proposing that the other subcategories be changed to the x-related lists format. I just want to get them to be consistant. Again, I'm not proposing to change Lists of people since that would change its meaning from lists of items to lists of anything related. --JeffW 18:41, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Wikipedia is inconsistent; and cat names should be short. Septentrionalis 19:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Yes it is inevitable that there is some inconsistency in Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work to reduce the amount of it. Osomec 00:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The reason I want them to be consistant is that I am trying to improve the Lists category page to make it easier for editors to find the right subcategory(s) for their article. One step was to sort all the subject-oriented subcategories in front of the other subcategories. Making all the titles of these subcategories the same format will make it even easier for editors to scan the list to find what they're looking for. --JeffW 17:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Osomec. David Kernow 03:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Official Storyline Sonic the Hedgehog games

Let's see... a category with bad typo and that has more description that articles in it? And also, the category says games but includes Sonic the Hedgehog (character) igordebraga ≠ 18:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Philippine essayists

Delete. Empty category. Circa 1900 18:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Philippine writers and Category:Visayan writers to Category:Filipino writers

Filipino is used for people. Category:Visayan writers should be merged to Category:Filipino writers. Also, "Filipino" used in this context refers to the people/inhabitants, not the language. Circa 1900 18:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem though is that "Filipino writers" is ambiguous since "Filipino writers" could mean "writers in the "Filipino language". "Philippine writers" is not ambiguous. Also, I have doubts as to whether Visayan writers should be merged. I think it would be better to make "Visayan writers" a subcategory of "Philippine writers". For one thing, Visayan writers, taking into account the languages they write in (the multiple Visayan languages plus English, Spanish, Tagalog/Pilipino/Filipino) has the potential to make the "Philippine writers" or "Filipino writers" extremely larger --Harvzsf 03:38, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People of the Philippines to Category:Filipino people

As pursuant to other articles in Category:People by nationality, where the format is Fooian people. Circa 1900 18:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment : "People of the Philippines" is not necessarily identical with "Filipino people". Without checking through the category, does "People of the Philippines" mean "People from the Philippines" (and, in turn, does that mean "Philippine citizens" and/or "People born in the Philippines"?); or "People living in the Philippines"; or "People associated with the Philippines"; or some combination of any of these?  Should "Filipino people" mean "Native/aboriginal Philippine people"?  Advice please, David Kernow 04:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object the two names have different meanings Filipino is racial/ethnic; Philippines is nationality. An ethnic Chinese person who was born and lived his/her entire life in Manila belongs in this category. A person born in the USA or wherever but the Philippines of parents who are ethnically part of the aboriginal peoples of the Philippines who identify as "Filipino" belongs in the proposed renaming category. Note: some peoples who are from the ethnic groups considered aboriginal to the Philippines do not identify as "Filipino" (notably, the Moros). Carlossuarez46 23:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Pasig to Category:People from Pasig City

I made a mistake when I created these categories. Merge Pasig to Pasig City, they're identical. Circa 1900 17:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:NCAA Philippines Championships to Category:NCAA Philippines championships

Proper capitalization. Or if Wikipedia is really strict, then rename it to National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) championships. Circa 1900 17:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there are 8,000-12,000 such schools but thankfully only six are in the category so far. This just isn't an important characteristic of a school. I suspect this is advertising. Delete Hawkestone 17:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

This is redundant to Category:Washington state highways, as everything numbered - State Routes, U.S. Routes and Interstates - is a state highway. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 06:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is similar to the California setup, which was agreed upon by compromise. I mean I'm not attached to this category overly, but to placate the people who want it this way this should stay. Also, I wanted this to go to CFD because originally this category was orphaned and tagged for speedy, which is against process. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:41, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't make sense - you think it should go but you vote to keep? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 08:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I poorly phrased that. I wanted this to go to CFD rather than be speedied to allow others to comment on this process. I'd prefer that the category stay since it does include everything (some people have a problem with putting Interstates in Category:Washington state highways.) Thus this category exists. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 08:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Interstates belong in state highways, as they are state highways. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 10:15, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Actually, I don't think Interstates belong in a "state highways" category at all, except possibly as a subcat. AFAIK, the standard understanding of "state highways" in the U.S. is roads that are part of a state-level numbering system that are not also a part of a federal road system. — Dale Arnett 19:40, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Towns in Missouri

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was make a redirect. Syrthiss 17:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Under Missouri statues, there is no such thing as a town in Missouri. Such places are cities or villages (if incorporated). I have already moved the articles formerly categorized here into their appropriate categories (many were actually unincorporated ). All locations in Missouri should be in Category:Cities in Missouri, Category:Villages in Missouri, or Category:Unincorporated communities in Missouri. Rt66lt 01:39, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there never were any towns in Missouri. There is a generic category:towns for most states, and probably all states to begin with. Where the individual got the information that there were towns may have been the US Census (it seems to be connected to a lot of census-type statistics), but where their information came from, I don't know. According to the State Manual (issued by the Missouri Secretary of State's office) no towns currently exist and apparently never did. If they ever did, there would probably still be some around (there's an old type of city charted issued in the 1830s(?) which is still in use in some city's, but not permitted any more). Rt66lt 19:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
How does one redirect to any of three different categories? The previous places listed as towns were a mix of cities, villages, and unincorporated communities. They weren't all from the same place.Rt66lt 19:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, since (a) you found that many of the articles listed in Category:Towns in Missouri were unincorporated communities; and (b) Unincorporated communities sounds like the catch-all term for any settlements in Missouri that are neither villages nor cities, then, knowing no better, I'd say make the redirect point to Category:Unincorporated communities in Missouri. What seems important is that, regardless of where the redirect points, there needs to be that explanation that "there ain't no towns in Missouri" ("so", in so many words, "you've been dumped here."). If nothing more, it might dissuade folks from trying to recreate an otherwise deleted Category:Towns in Missouri. Phew!  David Kernow 22:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This would work with me. Thanks.Rt66lt 04:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, have amended my vote above accordingly. Thanks for your input!  Best wishes, David Kernow 09:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very small group being categorized, and all the relevant info is already mentioned (repeatedly) in the relevant articles, particularly Eevee. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:38, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pokémon species are currently broken up by type, not evolutionary stage. There's no need to have yet another way that the Pokémon species articles are split up in cats, especially since it's not completely implemented. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:38, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was merge. Syrthiss 17:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Categories with overlapping scope. Since there are only four (arguably five) Pokémon regions, there's no need to make this a subcat of Pokémon places. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:48, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
