August 4

NEW NOMINATIONS

Anonymous Wikipedian categories

Category:User pg to Category:Anonymous Wikipedians
Category:User pg-0 to Category:Anonymous Wikipedians
Rename - These two categories appear to be identical. The new name better reflects what the categories are. --Cswrye 14:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Intelligence

This previously had military intelligence mixed in. I moved those things out, and now it seems to be redundant with Category:Cognitive intelligence, into which I think it should be merged to avoid future ambiguity. -- Beland 21:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. Category:Intelligence is easy to find, while :Cognitive Intelligence is not, and it also seems redundant. Suggest the reverse of this merge proposal, with a disambig note left in the :Intelligence category pointing to :Military Intelligence. Outriggr 00:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Reverse merge Category:Cognitive intelligence into Category:Intelligence and leave a {{for|military intelligence|:Category:Military intelligence}}, per Outriggr. David Kernow 18:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Reverse merge per David Kernow. It's the best answer for now. And give a similar pointer {{for|emotional intelligence|:Category:Popular psychology}} to help readers find their way around science and contested fringe topics. --Mereda 07:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Oppose merge I have expanded the category--Tstrobaugh 17:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
DABIFY this category, with links to Cognitive Intelligence and Espionage. And protect this category so that nothing can be categorized in it. 132.205.45.148 23:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Reverse merge Category:Cognitive intelligence into Category:Intelligence --Ancheta Wis 07:08, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
There is more to this problem. First Category:Cognitive intelligence has Artificial Intelligence items in it. Second there are Category:Artificial_intelligence and Category:Cognition that have many overlaps. There may be more that I don't know of. I think the top level category should be Category:Intelligence with some subcategories under it. I don't think AI should be mixed with HI at all. That is a possible goal in a thousand years or so but it's science fiction now.--Tstrobaugh 17:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Reverse merge After discussion, Intelligence (trait) was considered the primary usage and moved to Intelligence with a disambig at the top. Artificial intelligence is properly, as it is now, a subcat within intelligence. Intelligence is properly, as it is now, a subcat within cognitition. --Nectar 01:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Note: Category:Cognitive intelligence was not tagged for the reverse merge, so I'm relisting this for another 7 days. Original discussion here. --Kbdank71 14:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Traditionalist Catholics

A category with two people, one group and one general article; there are also three subcats. I think the subcats should be moved ot a more generic category. Notable traditionalist (i.e. Vatican II-dissenting) Catholics are few and far between; also, recent debate surrounding the article on traditional Catholic indicates some disagreement as to what a traditionalist Catholic is. Just zis Guy you know? 11:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Luxembourg artists

Category:Luxembourg artists to Category:Luxembourgian artists
Category:Luxembourg politicians to Category:Luxembourgian politicians
Category:Luxembourg painters to Category:Luxembourgian painters
Category:Luxembourg art to Category:Luxembourgian art
Category:Luxembourg football clubs to Category:Luxembourgian football clubs

Rename, All of the above take the adjectival form for other countries. The adjective for Luxembourg is 'Luxembourgian'; see Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, and others. With the launch of WikiProject Luxembourg (which is currently a two-bit operation), this ought to be standardised. Bastin 10:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment There are actually several competing adjectives for Luxembourg, so this is not the straightforward matter you present it as, but I don't want to get any further involved. Chicheley 13:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Central

Delete, it's too ambiguous to be a redirect (look at Central). RobertG ♬ talk 10:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Chicheley 13:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom. David Kernow 14:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Glasgow Subway tube stations

Category:Glasgow Subway tube stations to Category:Glasgow Subway stations

Rename, "Subway tube station" would be like saying "subway subway" station. You wouldn't say "London Underground tube station". Besides, the term "tube" isn't used in Glasgow. RFBailey 09:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Rename per nom. Chicheley 13:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:ABC 5

Category:ABC 5 to Category:Associated Broadcasting Company

The Associated Broadcasting Company is still formally known by its complete name (unlike KFC). I mistakenly created Category:Associated Broadcasting Company when I was submitting this request. --Howard the Duck 07:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

A notice of this discussion has been added to the Filipino Wikipedians notice board. --Howard the Duck 07:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Bird Pokémon

Delete. Can't ever have any but two entries, neither of which is definitively a Pokémon. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Amalgam Comics supervillain teams

Delete, Amalgam was a short lived comic imprint. There doesn't need to be a category for it's teams. RobJ1981 04:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per above. Viridae 04:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep. This parallels category:Amalgam Comics superhero teams nicely. Given its special place between DC and Marvel, both of which have a similar subcategory, this seems harmless.--Mike Selinker 05:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Above. Also, For such a short lived imprint, it had a surprisingly large stable of teams, because of the way each one shot was written as though it were in the middle of an already established series. -That's why I did your work 05:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete. A cat with two entries that won't ever have any but two entries. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Pages containing IPA

This category is metadata and should not be present in the article space without a compelling reason, and I can come up with none. There was a previous CFD in 2004 which kept the category, however I think a second look is worthwhile. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to the same category being populated with talk pages, but even that seems like a waste of time. As it stands it should be deleted. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep This is similar to Category:Templates using ParserFunctions. It may come in useful some day if for some reason some change needs to be made automatically to all IPA-using pages (for instance, if the official IPA standard changes and all the pages need to be updated accordingly, although this is quite unlikely), and it isn't doing any harm. --ais523 15:14, 4 August 2006 (U T C)

Category:Surname pairs

Delete, arbitrary and totally useless. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Listify. David Kernow 04:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete per CrazyRussian. Viridae 04:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Abstain - I created this category mostly for fun. I don't think it's entirely useless, but I have no strong argument for keeping it either. To "listify" would be ok with me. I thought lists were something that belonged to Misplaced Pages's early days, and that they had been replaced with categories and WikiProjects. Are there any policies for how to create and name lists? Should I just go on to create list of surname pairs? --LA2 09:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:Bear vs. Shark

Delete, Unused; duplicate of category Category:Bear vs. Shark albums which does have content. — MrDolomite | Talk 00:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:British Colonial Flags

Category:British Colonial Flags to Category:Flags of British overseas territories
Relisted from July 25. Most flags in the category link to the Commons, so suggest straightforward rename as above. (Prefixing "Images of" seems unnecessary.) David Kernow 00:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Rename as nom. David Kernow 00:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
