New Zealand university categories

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 as nominated --Kbdank71 19:56, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

All but two of the New Zealand universities with separate categories simply have the form Category:Universityname. I propose renaming the two which currently have slightly more specific names, since the extra specialisation is unnecessary.

In each case, the size of the categories is not going to shoot up dramatically (the larger of the two will move from five to seven existing articles), and , as I said, it will make these two consistent with the others. Grutness...wha? 23:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nintendo Wars characters and Category:Nintendo Wars villains

Delete, as the overcat is empty save for the subcat, and because the subcat has only four articles, three of which are in the process of being merged. These categories were depopulated by merges into List of Advance Wars COs, and any future additions would go in that list anyway. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:03, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I created the category, and agree that it should be deleted now. However, there is no need to rush. First merge all characters into the list, and they will be eligible for delete in 24 hours after becoming empty. -- ReyBrujo 23:45, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Seeing as this won't be closed until 10/25, I don't think that a "rush" is a big concern here. siafu 21:41, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Used only for subpages of User:Jawr256, he had a header template on all his subpages that added them to this category. I userified the template and removed the category tag from it (I see his talk page remains, must be a manual category tag in there somewhere). Anyway I'm all for user-categories, but having a category for one users subpages is a bit exessive, so I think this should be deleted. --Sherool 20:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In line with Category:Liverpudlians, Category:Mancunians, Category:Chicagoans, Category:Atlantans etc. Unlike some of the city categories, "Londoners" is normal usage and won't confuse anyone. JW 19:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: that is a reasonable suggestion, but should proposed new Category:Londoners (ie Residents of London) really be a subcat of Category:English people? After all, not all residents of the great metropolis are English. Indeed, very far from it: it must be the most cosmopolitan city in Europe.--Mais oui! 05:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
true enough - then the name of the superordinate cat needs to be change to Category:People in English cities or something similar, doesn t it. sounds fine to me.- Mayumashu 07:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The trouble is, that would change the meaning of all the "People by city" categories, and you would then have to do the same thing for American, Australian, Canadian, etc cities. We could just put a note on the category page that it applies only to those born or raised in London, and not those who are only residents of London. JW 13:45, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Found this tagged for merger with Category:Art directors. -- Beland 03:59, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In the past, the art director title was used to denote the head of the art department (hence the Academy Award for Best Art Direction) however, the Art Directors' union felt that the title was becoming too diluted, as multiple art directors were appearing on a single show, negating the idea of one person responsible to the look of a show, and people started giving themselves the title without the approval of the union. As a result, the union decided to create the title of production designer, and created rules as to the use of the title, namely there can be only one production designer on a show, and the union must approve the use of the title.
Since then, "art director" has generally—but not always—been used to refer to the immediate deputy to the production designer. "Art director" is still used in some non-U.S. contexts, however, in its original sense, and the academy award still treats the discipline as "art direction." The jobs are closely-enough related and the difficulty of coming up with a practical-enough means of sorting them separately makes this an ideal merged categorization. -The Tom 19:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? The term "Production Designer" was created in the USA in 1938 by MGM execs. to acknowledge the unusual breadth of work done by Wm. Cameron Menzies on overall design functions for "Gone With The Wind". It was used occasionally thereafter into the early postmodern period but, by and large, within the decades of the studio system, the Art Director worked in peer consort with the Set Design, Wardrobe, Makeup and Hair, and Prop Departments under the production team and director to rework standing sets to fit specific plot needs, and so in fact did was not the "one person responsible for the look of" the product. In countries where standing studio sets weren't the norm, the Director-as-auteur frequently developed the "look" in supervisory collaboration with selected experts in the various fields ("art directors" were often actually practical architects - the structural developers and engineers of preliminary sketch work or script descriptions). With the disappearance of the studios, the expansion of budgets and crews and actors to be managed, reliance on ___location shooting, and elongated deadlines and runtimes, the Production Designer as an intermediary between a busier Director and the specialized design-and-application artists became, if not always necessary, expected and accepted. On cheaper films in the 60s and 70s, they were just as likely glorified, re-named art directors. However, while the work of each has common points, if you're going to join PDs and ADs automatically and arbitrarily, you'll have to throw in the entire settings, properties, wardrobe, and grooming artists as well, and also for the most part the special effects people. Sticking with the realities, you'll keep them as separate as the others, as they have at bottom a distinct task. 12.73.196.191 03:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
