Should be merged with Category:Schools in Ireland which is a more generic category and cover primary and secondary schools, amongst others - and the latter is more appropriately titled. Djegan 19:29, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Any reason why this couldn't be renamed and kept as a subcategory of Schools in Ireland? Must be a pretty big category... Grutness...wha? 00:19, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment The term "secondary school" in Ireland is accepted as a shortening of "voluntary secondary school" - viz, a particular type of secondary level school and not a precise generic term for all schools at the secondary level. Many of the schools on the category are not of the "secondary school" type, but are of the other types not common until recent in Ireland - often private and commericial type schools which are fee based and not by any means voluntary. Djegan 30 June 2005 23:02 (UTC)
Keep in favor of more detailed categories. Hall Monitor 30 June 2005 17:34 (UTC)
Keep Subcategorisation is clearly beneficial; the distinction is clear cut. CalJW 5 July 2005 01:15 (UTC)

Unneccessary category. Related article at Disney DVD is listed at votes for deletion.

Delete, redundant. This is based on the premise (see Disney DVD) that Disney have some mysterious alternateive DVD format, which is plainly untrue. At best, redirect to Category:Disney films. -Splash 00:06, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

Only one article in the category and it's difficult to think of any potential other articles to put in it. David | Talk 16:39, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete virtually-empty category on the understanding that there are no other elections specific to NYC (I don't know the American political structure too well...).-Splash 17:40, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep. The current article on the recent two elections can be split into two articles and be expanded. More articles on past elections can be expected to be created. — Insta ntnood June 28, 2005 16:11 (UTC)

Delete unnecessary category. -Splash 17:39, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
Delete I had to do a double-take, because I was working on a Captain Marvel article, and had never seen this category....then I realized, it's this Captain Marvel that they're talking about. --FuriousFreddy 18:53, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

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 rename --Kbdank71 6 July 2005 13:16 (UTC)

Mis-named and unneeded category. In terms of peerages, "dormant" refers to titles which are unclaimed, but in theory could be claimed. The titles in this category are extinct–because there are no legal heirs, whether through death or forfeiture. This category is thus mis-named. I don't see a pressing need for a sub-category of Category:Dukedoms for those dukedoms which are no longer extant. Mackensen (talk) 14:02, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. john k 14:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Rename to Extinct dukedoms. I count 25/60 (approx) of the Dukedoms with WP articles in this category. That's surely enough for a subcategory?-Splash 14:47, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
- If so, then "Dukedoms" should not be capitalized, though. R adiant _>|< 14:54, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Unused category, unlikely to attract more than five articles in any event. --Quuxplusone 07:46, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Question I'm gonna make this my standard question for unused categories: Does anybody here know why is it empty? It hasn't been emptied recently, has it? — Sebastian (talk) 10:32, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
Delete since it is redundant with Category:Computer vision and Category:Artificial intelligence. Also, Computer vision does not put itself in this category and does not appear to have recently been removed from the category. -Splash 14:40, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Keep, Arcade games are not Computer or video games, by Wikipedia definitions. They are a seperate topic and should be kept. — Frecklefoot | Talk June 30, 2005 17:29 (UTC)
Keep, in agreeance with Frecklefoot's logic. Hall Monitor 30 June 2005 17:33 (UTC)
Keep. They are currently mostly unused but is discussion about implementing them going on at Wikipedia:WikiProject Arcade games. --TheDotGamer ^Talk June 30, 2005 22:40 (UTC)

This category was tagged on 22:00, 10 Dec 2004 so that the contents could be moved to Category:People from Connecticut. As that is now 6 months ago, and not much has been accomplished. The category should be merged and then deleted. <>Who ?¿? 05:34, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge --Kbdank71 5 July 2005 23:59 (UTC)

This should be merged and deleted, as the more appropriate category is Category:People from Georgia (U.S. state), as it is more populated and differs from the country Georgia. <>Who ?¿? 05:28, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge into the US state since that's the clear implication of the present contents, and then delete redundant and confusingly named category. -Splash 14:32, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
