June 24
New dubious cat by new anon user. Redundant with Category:Muppet performers, was used as a mixed bag of people with surname Henson, and puppeteers. Unneeded at the very least.

The page explanation says: Non-sovereign territories in North America, South America or the Caribbean. While these are technically "American dependencies" that term is likely to be interpreted as "Dependent territories of the Unites States". To avoid ambiguity I suggest that the category be renamed.

- While running across American dependencies, I must say I totally thought it meant "territory" or "dependency" of the United States. The US is often times known for going by the name "America" which in this case maybe somewhat un-related. I think, a name change of this category to "Dependent territories in the Americas" may- be much more appropriate to clarify everything as being in reference to the hemisphere of the Americas and not America herself. :-) I support the idea of this name change. I certainly can't see why not. CaribDigita 23:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Category:Chicago Cardinals players, Category:St. Louis Cardinals (football) players and Category:Phoenix Cardinals players
Duplicates of Category:Arizona Cardinals players. zellin 21:34, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- I admit that they're empty (at least the Chicago & St. Louis ones are), but it's only temporary until we find Wiki entries on players who were in the NFL at the time and played for them... there's separate categories for the Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Raiders, Houston Oilers, etc... I created the separate Wiki categories to differentiate past players from current players. I'll work on finding articles of players from that era, and then they won't be empty, but don't delete them just because they haven't been filled yet. Keep.Anthony 22:01, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- I must say, they weren't empty until I emptied them. There were no more than 3 articles on any of them, and since I read it was ok to blank duplicates, I did so. Players from all phases of the Cards franchise are already listed on the Arizona category. If someone will sort it out correctly I will say Keep, but otherwise Delete. Also, Delete Phoenix Cardinals regardless, since it was basically just a name change.
- I know the Phoenix was a name change, but it still represented a phase of the franchise... I've got Tennessee Oilers as a category, and that wasn't the team name for more than 2 years... I'm working on trying to occupy the cats to represent different times in the period of the franchise... for example, Jim Thorpe never played for Arizona, and Bill Gramatica wasn't on the team when they were called Phoenix. I saw from your user page that you're from the area... maybe you'd like to help me fill these cats (seeing as how it's your team?) I promise you I'm not doing this simply to create more categories or fill up space, I'm doing this to help refine the possibility of someone finding their favorite player or players from a particular era. I'm also in the process of working on the Pro Bowl articles and categories, and my goal is to (eventually) create as expansive a database on football as there currently exists on the baseball articles. Talk to me on my user page if you'd like to help out. Anthony 22:29, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - would it help if these were subcats of Category:Arizona Cardinals players? Categories for previous incarnations of baseball teams exist, see Category:Major league baseball players by team, and are not subcats of whatever the team is called now but it seems making these subcats of the current team would be a good idea. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:01, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- I wouldn't be averse to including them as subcats, or at the very least linking them all from the Arizona Cardinals page, but I feel that deleting the cats and throwing all the players in the Arizona bin doesn't fit the spirit of what I was trying to achieve. That's all, I'm willing to work to a compromise (something I learned the hard way) if I just explain what it is I'm trying to do with the categories. Wiki's addictive as all hell (so is Sudoku), and I'm trying to make this a more comprehensive resource. BTW, many thanks to Zellin for the Barnstar... I'm honored, since I never thought a n00b like me would get one, lol. Anthony 00:11, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
- No problem! I change my vote to keep all by the way, since you are working on making them useful. Let me know if you need help, but I don't know how much I can be, since I'm just a wee lad :-). zellin 00:42, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Should be renamed to Category:Wikipedian FIRSTers. -SV|t 21:03, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I love me some Mojo Nixon, but he don't need no category. SchmuckyTheCat 19:45, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I tend to agree, Shmuck, but maybe someones in process of doing a discography. And now I have to go Tie My Pecker to My Leg. -SV|t 21:02, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Get to writing an article for every disc then, unfortunately this category was created by a vandal. The effort isn't coming from there. SchmuckyTheCat 23:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Rename to Category:Squadron Supreme members for consistancy with other subcategories of Category:Superheroes by team - SoM 18:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This was protected for an RfAr that is now over. Articles belong in Category:Economy of the People's Republic of China. SchmuckyTheCat 18:30, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: There are many articles specific to the economy of mainland China, but the category was intentionally depopulated. — Instantnood 18:58, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- intentionally depopulated because there is no country named mainland China. the article, and category, are at Category:Economy of the People's Republic of China and there is no need for a parallel category. SchmuckyTheCat 19:09, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as per my comment above. — Instantnood 19:48, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
As with topics like history and art literature is not neatly divided along political borders. The contens of this category clearly deomnstrates this. Several of the entries are for languages such as English literature, Latin literature, Serbian literature, and Spanish literature. Others are for continents such as African literature and European literature. It should be replaced by Category:Literature by nation or perhaps Category:Literature by culture. - SimonP 14:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Perhaps a cleanup is needed to remove continents, but the title matches the other subcats of Category:Categories by country which are "Foo by country". --Kbdank71 14:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- KEEP, many literary prizes are by country. And people do sociological studies based on the literature produced by a country during a period in history... 69.156.16.40 15:06, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This category should really be named Category:People from Chicago, to match the current naming standards of every other "people by nationality" cat. Currently there is also Category:People from Los Angeles. It gets confusing trying to remember the large cities that have their own category, it makes it worse when it doesn't follow the same naming schema. <>Who?¿? 09:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I concur, and while we're at it, the List of Las Vegans is misnamed at best and misleading at worst... makes it sound like the Rat Pack never drank dairy or ate meat... I'll vote to rename. Anthony 22:31, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Contains only one article, and a cursory search reveals exactly one other article that would fit under this category. It is also redundant with the Category:Fictional parasites, (created by the same guy, containing the same single article) which would serve the same function, only have actual growth potential.
- Delete as redundant, and I'm not as yet convinced that 'fictional parasites' is useful. Oh btw please sign your nominations. Radiant_>|< 08:39, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. duplicated bycategory:Software development process (Nigosh 15:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC) added later)
- Agreed. Btw please sign your nominations. Radiant_>|< 08:39, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as suggested. Pavel Vozenilek 01:06, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
