Nominator's rationale: 'Delete. Misleading redirect, which may give editors the impression that they are adding an article to a list, rather than to a category. As far as I can see, there are no other categories or category redirects whose name begins "list of buildings". BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (contribs) 21:27, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Delete. The subcategory here is about transportation in the Arctic region and includes transportation in Alaska which is not part of an ocean as far as I know. The two articles describe a turning point for early commercial aviation in one ocean and an old planned stop over route in another. I suppose that it is possible that there could be some articles about flying over oceans in general where these articles could go in a category for that, but at this time there are not enough articles. No upmerge since the three entries have acceptable categories in good trees. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative rename to something like Category:Trans-oceanic aviation and purge. Hugo999 makes a good point about the existence of articles which relate primarily to aviation across an ocean, and it seems to me that we should try to construct a category which reflects that. The current category doesn't do that, because it seems to lead to Category:Aviation in the Arctic. The Arctic category is rather pointless, because it simply applies a new geographic framework to material which is already well-categorised. The situation would be even worse if we had a Category:Aviation in the Pacific, which would rapidly fill with all aviation topics in the Pacific region. However, as Hugo999 points wrt the Atlantic, we do have a lot of material which relates to transoceanic airflight. Many of Hugo's examples are of historical incidents, but the concept has much wider importance: the trans-Pacific air-routes developed since the introduction of the Boeing 747 have created dominant new political and economic linkages. Just as trans-atlantic steamship crossings tranfsormed 19th-century economies. --BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (contribs) 09:21, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Delete. I'm not sure that an award established in 2003 and recognizes people who have flown 50 years and meet some criteria, meets the criteria for an awards category. So far there are over 2,000 people who have gotten this award. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:39, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Upmerge. Seems unnecessary and confusing. E.g. Oil and gas companies of Hong Kong are listed in Oil and gas companies of the People's Republic of China. Beagel (talk) 09:11, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I hope that all Taiwanese categories have now been renamed to "Taiwan". If so there is no objection to PRC categories being renamed to China. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:05, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. It doesn't matter whether ROC companies are renamed to "Taiwan", because while there may be controversy over whether Taiwan is "China", PRC can't be anything else. Shrigley (talk) 03:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Rename. As the main article points out, laboratory has many meanings. So clarifying the name of this category to match the description seems like a wise move. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- Laboratory for scientific research is the primary usage; perhaps that should be "scientific investigation". The main article should be renamed, not the category. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I could argue that in the US, laboratories are most often used for clinical labs where you go to get blood drawn and analyzed. In any case, ambiguous article names can be acceptable and there is no requirement that in that case a category must match the article name. I will add a request to rename the article noting that the WP:RM backlog is currently 2 weeks shy of 2 months. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:49, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- this is a parent to "by country" and "by continent" categories. We do not need this layer, but I think we could do without the "country" category as well. This would give a rational tree. Alternatively (and second best), we could delete this and the "continent" category. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:09, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
