Category:Euro-jazz musicians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete as the category is redundant and not a genre, but a national identifier. As the creator of the category I am requesting it's deletion following a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Jazz#Category:Euro-jazz_musicians with others. (Mind meal 22:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Category:Jamster ringtones (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - categorizing songs because a company has turned them into ringtones is trivial. Any number of songs get licensed to be turned into ringtones and they are not notable because of their ringtone status. Otto4711 16:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Current single (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Speedy delete - Generally, articles are not sorted according to status. Moreover, the definition of "current single" seems vague; when do singles cease to be "current"? Even if a clear definition can be given, I suspect that the category will be difficult to maintain. Moreover, the category is the recreation of deleted content, see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 August 16#Category:Current singles. Dr. Submillimeter 16:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename to Category:Leaders who took power by coup --Kbdank71 15:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Past leaders by coup and Category:Leaders by coup to ?
Nominator's rationale: Merge/Rename - The name of Category:Leaders by coup seems to be poorly written. It should be renamed, but I have no good suggestions for a name. Since people are generally not sorted according to status on Wikipedia, the subcategory Category:Past leaders by coup should be merged into this category. (It is also unclear whether "past" means that these people are now dead or simply not in power.) Dr. Submillimeter 15:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Past Olympic sports to Category:Former Olympic sports
Nominator's rationale: Rename - Generally, "former" is used instead of "past" for Wikipedia categories. Moreover, "former" indicates more clearly that the sports are no longer played in the Olympics. This category should therefore be renamed. Dr. Submillimeter 15:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Past Coronation Street characters to Category:Coronation Street characters
Suggest merging Category:Past Emmerdale characters to Category:Emmerdale characters
Nominator's rationale: Merge - Characters are usually not divided according to status, as the characters may return in the future (especially in soap operas, where characters disappear or reappear in the storylines frequently). Therefore, these categories should be merged into their parent categories. (Also note this previous discussion on similar categories.) Dr. Submillimeter 15:48, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Past (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Passed events (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - Category:Passed events is a category for things tagged with Template:Past. However, given that so many things happened in the past, many other articles could be added to the category, making it so broad that it is useless. It should be deleted. Category:Past only contains Category:Passed events, so the two categories should be deleted together. Dr. Submillimeter 15:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:James Bond music (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - the only article that isn't a soundtrack album already in Category:James Bond albums is James Bond music, which can certainly go directly in Category:James Bond. This layer of categorization to hold the albums and songs subcats is unnecessary. Otto4711 12:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Although category might be "small and unlikely to grow" it effectively organizes articles in a common sense and user-friendly way that is helpful. Benjiboi 02:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand that, but in this instance all of the album articles are already in both the albums cat and the music cat. Again, this is sitting as an intermediate layer of categorization between the songs and albums subcats and the parent Bond cat. There is no navigational benefit in the layer. Otto4711 17:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that under the parent James Bond, there should be James Bond Music under which is Albums and Songs. That seems simple enough to me. Benjiboi 18:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Under the current set-up, a reader starting from Category:James Bond wanting to read about Goldfinger (song) has to navigate through Category:James Bond music to get to Category:James Bond songs. In the absence of this category the reader gets directly from James Bond to James Bond songs. The category is a barrier to nevigation that serves no organizational purpose. Otto4711 19:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I guess we can agree to disagree, any user searching through the category for an article will find the example you state without an undue amount of extra effort whereas reducing the categorization, I feel, will make it harder for users. Benjiboi 20:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete which songs have appeared in which movies is a nightmare for the category system. A reference in the movie's article and another in the song's suffices. Carlossuarez46 18:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The idea that this is a "barrier to navigation" is entirely wrong. Following Otto's argument all categories below Category:Categories are "barriers to navigation" as they force people to make extra clicks. We have subcategories so that people can find things even if they don't know what they are called, or how to spell them, or even that they exist. People who already know about Goldfinger (song) can use the search box. Alex Middleton 21:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Otto's argument is not specific to this category and it is no better here than it would be in any of the thousands of other cases to which it might be applied. Cloachland 20:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • My argument is specific to this category and the vague "this could apply elsewhere" argument means nothing in the absence of a specific application to this category. Otto4711 01:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. We don't need a cat of "music" to house "albums" and "songs" which could just both be direct sub-cats of "James Bond". The articles are either improperly duplicated in this category from the album category or, as Otto says, the "James Bond music" article can live in the main category. Therefore this level of category is redundant. Bencherlite 02:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Karate Kid music (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - small category with little or no likelihood of growth. Following removal of songwriters, of the remaining three entries only one is for a song written specifically for one of the films and all of the entries are interlinked with the appropriate film article through text.

Suggest merging Category:Warfare by genre to Category:Warfare by type
Nominator's rationale: Merge, this is merely a malformed partial copy of the existing category. "Genre" is not used to refer to different types of warfare, in any case. Kirill 05:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
