July 9[edit]

Category:DIY spaces[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:  RelistedatWikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 July 20#Category:DIY spaces. — ξxplicit 21:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:DIY spaces (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I started to check articles for a better name and I kept getting only one hit on DIY in each article. I could not detect a common trait other then having DIY in the article text. If someone can figure out what is intended here and provide an unambiguous set of inclusion criteria, then I have no objection to a rename and keeping. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Depressions[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:DepressionstoCategory:Depressions (geology)
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the main article. I'll point out that the main article could well be considered a dab page. Also remove Category:Potholes if renamed and the category has not been deleted. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:23, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Cellulosic ethanol producers[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Cellulosic ethanol producerstoCategory:Bioethanol producers
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Overcategorization. Upmerge into the only parent category. Beagel (talk) 22:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Potholes[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: temporarily rename Category:Images of potholes and purge articles; delete when images are moved to commons.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Potholes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Another tough one. Only has the main article and one organization. So based on that there would be an easy delete as a small category with limited growth. Not too many notable potholes around. But then we have the images. I was not able to locate an appropriate image category for these so the question comes down to do we need a category for pothole images? If yes, this probably needs a rename and cleanup. If not, we can simply delete. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:World Future Council[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:World Future Council (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Overcategorization. Includes only limited number of articles with limited perspective to be more populated. Beagel (talk) 22:10, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Wooden toys[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:35, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Wooden toystoCategory:Woodworking
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Currently a single entry category. The article has other parents, so we only need to add it to one of the parent categories here. I don't see a need for classifying modern toys by the material used. Also I don't believe that these were exclusively made from wood which is simply the major component.Vegaswikian (talk) 21:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Television-computer combo systems[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:  RelistedatWikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 July 20#Category:DIY spaces. — ξxplicit 21:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Television-computer combo systems (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Another hair puller! The effective main article is Combo television unit, but not one of the other articles is about this. I'm sure we could find articles to populate this correctly, but do we? Doing so would be more of a buyers guide issue. That leaves us with 2 TVs with built in video consoles. The last two are Macs. One could be switched from computer mode to TV mode. The other has a TV tuner. Just about every computer today can add a tuner card. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:08, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Aftermarket plug-in hybrid vehicles[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Aftermarket plug-in hybrid vehicles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. As I understand it, people make kits that can be used to convert a vehicle to use plug in technology. The fact that a vehicle has a kit available is not something we should be categorizing. And if anyone if wondering this and the previous nominations are not from our favorite category creators. These are from another editor. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Silicon Valley electric vehicles[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Silicon Valley electric vehicles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. First it is not about vehicles. The contents are a California related article and a few companies. Also we should not start classifying vehicles by areas of a state. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Vehicle market[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Vehicle market (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Single entry category with a single parent category. If anyone can figure out the purpose of the category maybe I can award a prize? Do we need two barnstars? One for the creators of these and another for the discovers of these? Vegaswikian (talk) 19:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Carbon economy[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge and purge.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:31, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Carbon economytoCategory:Low-carbon economy
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Probably a better name given the existence of a main article. Note the existence of Category:Zero-carbon economy. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nominating similar category for merging Category:Zero-carbon economytoCategory:Low-carbon economy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beagel (talkcontribs) 15:31, 21 July 2010

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Elderly and disabled[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 21:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Elderly and disabled to multiple targets
Nominator's rationale: Selective Merge to one or more of the parents. Being elderly and being disabled are not the same. Likewise not all solutions or law benefit both populations. Also you can be disabled at birth and may not need elderly assistance until you turn 100. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Electricity policies and initiatives of the European Union[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 21:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Electricity policies and initiatives of the European UniontoCategory:Energy policies and initiatives of the European Union
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Upmerge this single entry category that does not appear to benefit navigation, and has limited expansion possibilities to its sole parent. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Electric vehicle advocates[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Electric vehicle advocates (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I'm bring this here for a discussion. I wonder about the need for this category and the associated subcategories. Advocacy and how defining it needs to be considered on a case by case basis however several of the articles I looked at don't even mention advocate in the article's text. If there is support for this, the subcategories will need to be added to this nomination. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Vehicle regulations[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Vehicle regulationstoCategory:Vehicle law
Nominator's rationale: Merge. I see no reason for this category when all everything could be in the sole parent. I'm unable to figure out the difference between vehicle regulations and vehicle law. Whatever small difference might exist is far outweighed by the difficulty in navigation created by having the subcategory. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:43, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Historical hybrid vehicles[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Historical hybrid vehiclestoCategory:Hybrid electric vehicles
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Small category with limited growth potential. In addition, I see no navigational advantage for not having these in the sole parent. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:People related to the International Energy Agency[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:International Energy Agency officials. A compatible nomination for Category:People related to the OECD might also make sense.--Mike Selinker (talk) 09:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:People related to the International Energy Agency (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Membership here is candidates for high level positions and holders of those positions. For the holders, the majority seem to be only a mention raising questions about how defining this is for those individuals. Then we have the ever ambiguous related in the title. All in all, deletion may be the best option. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:All-in-ones[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:All-in-ones (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Judging from the sole parent, the intended contents here are All-in-one microcomputers. First off, microcomputer is rather vague on the definition. This vagueness means that just about anything from a GPS to an iPod to a smartphone qualifies. However I don't think we really have any all-in-ones since they don't include scanners, printers and televisions. Note that despite the sole parent, Category: Television-computer combo systems is included. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:38, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Diesel substitutes[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Diesel substitutes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Basically a diesel engine is capable of running on an extremely large number of fuels. In modern society, the most common fuel used is petroleum based which is sometimes also know as petrodiesel. So this category is probably better titled Category:Diesel engine fuels that are not petroleum based. Well that violates the guideline of using what is not in for a category. It also leaves a question about where you classify biodiesel which is commonly diluted with petrodiesel so that more vehicles can use it without engine modifications. All of the articles have other parents so deletion should not create issues. Also the category name is ambiguous since diesel is a fuel and a type of engine. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aquatic hybrid electric vehicles[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Aquatic hybrid electric vehiclestoCategory:Hybrid electric vehicles
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Overcategorization. Includes only one entry with is questionable. Only one parent category. Propose to upmerge with category:Hybrid electric vehicles. Beagel (talk) 16:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Companies based in Tomioka-shi, Japan[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename, invoking WP:SILENCE. — ξxplicit 21:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Companies based in Tomioka-shi, JapantoCategory:Companies based in Gunma Prefecture
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the wider category system of Category:Companies of Japan by location. There is no current need for city-specific categories. Pichpich (talk) 15:40, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Artworks in metal[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: keep. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Artworks in metaltoCategory:Metal artwork
Nominator's rationale: I propose this rename strictly because "artworks in metal" is a very awkward phrasing. I believe that "metal artwork" conveys the same meaning without the awkwardness. Wizard191 (talk) 12:30, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"in metal" is correct art-history traditionalspeak, not Wikipedia nuspeak, as the art editors above are aware! Johnbod (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Proposed countries[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete this and newly created subcategories. No need to wait for new listings under this unique circumstance.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:33, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Proposed countries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete This is a vague category which includes many different types of "proposed country" at completely different stages (or no stage at all) on a path towards being a country. There are former proposed countries that certainly are not potential countries now and future potential countries. There is no criteria for what justifies to be included on the list. There are different meanings to the word "country". For that reason there is not even a list of countries article, simply one on sovereign states to avoid confusion. There is no article on "proposed countries" it simply redirects to a huge List of active autonomist and secessionist movements which has some serious flaws too. BritishWatcher (talk) 10:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per nom. I noticed earlier today that Cornwall has been in this category in some form or other for a while, when the switch to the "in Europe" sub-cat popped up on my watchlist. I'm not sure of the value of a category that appears to run all the way from places that are either in limbo of some sort or on the verge possibly of full statehood - eg Palestine, Transnistria, Abkhazia, the TRNC etc - to vaguely proposed unions of existing countries, or to places that are pretty happily and uncontroversially part of another state, but where one bloke with a website once said he wanted full nationhood, even if, beyond that, there might be a small movement calling for more autonomy. A category strictly limited to the former might make some sense. But let's not shove Cornwall, "Balkania" and Kosovo into the same box. N-HH talk/edits 10:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would like those subcategories deleted too as they have exactly the same problem. I thought it would be best to see the views on this category before nominating all of its subs too. BritishWatcher (talk) 15:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And keep them in what category then? In the main Country categories, such as Category:North American countries? Hardly credible. Hmains (talk) 23:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When I subcategorized them, I noticed that they were all already appropriately categorized. No merging would be necessary; nothing would be orphaned of categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Israel is clearly not a proposed state any more because it's gone past the proposal stage and into the implementation stage; it's both de jure and de facto independent. Micronations have their own category and have never been in this category anyway. I doubt Cornwall is appropriate to this category either because there is no significant independence movement for them - only autonomy. Munci (talk) 19:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • But categories typically do not distinguish between past and current status. If someone was once an ice hockey player, they are forever categorized as an ice hockey player. If a country was once a proposed country, it would have to forever be categorized as one under the normal practices of categorization. Good Ol’factory (talk)
Still support its deletion along with all sub categories. BritishWatcher (talk) 18:14, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm the creator and sole editor of the subcategories, so if this category is deleted, I can just have the subcategories speedily deleted. This was brought to CFD immediately after the subcategories were created, which is why it was brought to the nominator's attention. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:03, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Energy and climate change[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. — ξxplicit 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Energy and climate change (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. It seems to be similar situation as we have with Category:Transport and climate change. Although this category may have a purpose, right now the common nominator for the articles in this category(except The Hype about Hydrogen) is that some countries have combined ministries dealing with energy and climate change both. These articles already well classified into better category trees. Beagel (talk) 09:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename as nominated. A new "power" subcategory can be created if desired.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Solar thermaltoCategory:Solar thermal energy
Nominator's rationale: Rename. For the clarification and to be inline with the name of the main article (Solar thermal energy) in this category. Beagel (talk) 08:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem with this. If this helps to make the category tree more logical, I will support your proposal. Beagel (talk) 16:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Transport and climate change (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. On the surface this category sounds like it might serve a purpose. However when you look at the contents, it seems to be another way to classify articles already well classified into better category trees. Also meets OC small. If you drop hybrids since electric vehicles covers them, so we only have 3 articles. Having said that, I'm open to suggestions. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:46, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Speculation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Here we have a main article, but the problem is that saying that something like Category:Economic bubblesorCategory:Real estate bubbles are the result of speculation is speculation. While some of these may be, are they all? I suppose that there is some way to save this category, but I'm not convinced that we need to do that now.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This is part of a deeply developed tree, so a wider nomination may be in order. Also, I'm removing the target category from the Category:Archaeological sites in Greece tree.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:40, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Roman archaeological sites in GreecetoCategory:Roman sites in Greece

Propose merging Category:Mississippi State Bulldogs and Lady BulldogstoCategory:Mississippi State Bulldogs
Nominator's rationale: Lady Bulldogs are still Bulldogs, so I would think the merger should be this way Mayumashu (talk) 03:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. So reverse merge then, right? Mayumashu (talk) 00:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. Changing my vote, above. This should also apply to your Category:Mississippi State Bulldogs athletes category too.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are likely more under Category:Intercollegiate athletes in the United States by team, many that I started not taking into account the discussion you ve cited here, that need to be renamed to take into account separate male and female athletic team nicknames.

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. The main location for MythBusters is SF itself, so creating Category:Television shows set in the San Francisco Bay Area is not warranted solely for that, but there's no prejudice against creating such a category.--Mike Selinker (talk) 10:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Television shows set in San FranciscotoCategory:Television shows set in San Francisco, California
Nominator's rationale: Rename - to match its parent and siblings. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 00:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Emergency road services to match container category; otherwise no consensus. Could very easily have a different result if renominated.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:48, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Emergency road service (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I don't see keeping this right now since we don't have an article on emergency road service and two of the three articles are for vehicle recovery which I think is a different animal. If someone can find articles that would fit, I think it needs renaming, maybe to Category:Emergency road services?Vegaswikian (talk) 00:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
