Category:Violations of clerical celibacy

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, with the option to remove any members that are not suitable. Category:Clerical celibacy is a category about aspects of the topic, as a whole, of clerical celibacy and can, therefore, contain articles about violations of the practice. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not sure about this one. Something seems POV to me about collecting articles on married priests, homosexual priests, and priests abusing children, and categorising them all as 'violations of clerical celibacy'. Category:Opposition to clerical celibacy might be a better idea for a category. Anyone else have any thoughts? Robofish (talk) 23:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Torture porn

The result of the discussion was: delete. The Bushranger One ping only 02:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I realize that this a term that a lot of people like to use (and even has its own subsection on Splatter film) but I think the term itself is a bit loaded to be passed off as an objective categorizing. At the very least, it's something that's easily disputed and has been by various people working on the films in question. For example, Pascal Laugier disputes the term "torture porn" to describe his movie Martyrs as seen in this interview.CyberGhostface (talk) 23:24, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: per convention for Sierra Nevada topics. See Category:Sierra Nevada. Listed on behalf of another editor who had requested a rename. See User_talk:Alan_Liefting#This_category_is_too_long. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:19, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Dana boomer (talk) 20:10, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Space adventure" is not a widely accepted genre of video game. "Adventure video games that take place wholly or partially in outer space" is also patently false since adventure game means something completely different from how the category is currently being used. Delete as non-notable genre. Axem Titanium (talk) 15:41, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2D. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:22, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To match the parent article, NASA spin-off technologies. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 09:23, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tom Clancy novels

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 with support from category creator. This points that the other subcategories of Category:Novels based on video games might need to be looked at for potential renaming due to ambiguity too. The Bushranger One ping only 18:43, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. As currently named, this category is likely to be confused with Category:Novels by Tom Clancy. The category is for novels that are based on Tom Clancy games. Such novels are not written by Tom Clancy. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. The Bushranger One ping only 18:48, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete this horrible incomplete category one along with the three subcats. They misrepresent the branch of science of phytogeography . Note that there is no category series for the broader [Biogeography by country]. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 01:18, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Australian category is worth keeping but I don't see the need for Category:Biogeography by country at this stage (per WP:SMALLCAT. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 00:07, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete/merge. The Bushranger One ping only 18:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Currently has two articles and one sub-cat. I removed a number of [Water resources management in XXXX] articles and the two remaining ones are in the "Water by country" series (I may end up renaming them). Note that there is no [Category:Water resources]. Also, for the purposes of these categories water resources can be thought of as a synonym for water. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 00:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Water bodies by country

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:Bodies of water by country. As Vegas suggests, emptying of categories during the post-move cleanup is permitted. The Bushranger One ping only 18:56, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete this category and the subcats of the form [Water bodies by XXXX]. I stumbled across this series when working on a Category:Water by country series. It was started in 2009 and has only had a half hearted stab at being worked on. If we had both Category:Water by country and Category:Water bodies by country it would "dilute" the two categories unnecessarily. As it is the water by country categories are not exactly overpopulated. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 00:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
keep The water bodies by country subcategories can be readily created from all the articles in the subcats of lakes by county, rivers by county, etc etc. This is the optimal parent category for these subcats and 'water bodies' is the proper collective name here. Hmains (talk) 02:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See Water Body Body of water as the basis for my assertion. Hmains (talk) 02:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That would be fine with me; it will match the main article name instead of the redirect to the article as is currently the case. 'Water body' always did sound somewhat strange' Hmains (talk) 02:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
