Stevenage F.C.
- 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 all. Courcelles 02:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Stevenage Borough F.C. players to Category:Stevenage F.C. players
- Propose renaming Category:Stevenage Borough F.C. matches to Category:Stevenage F.C. matches
- Propose renaming Category:Stevenage Borough F.C. managers to Category:Stevenage F.C. managers
- Nominator's rationale: Rename all to match the parent category. Although at first a clear-cut move, I didn't go for a speedy as these categories incorporate Stevenage players/matches/managers past and present, so I can see the scope for arguing against. In either case, wherever the categories end up, I believe that the alternatives should probably be created as category redirects, given that "Borough" was only dropped a couple of months ago. --WFC-- 22:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Rename all - per main article and parent category. – PeeJay 18:03, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. Courcelles 02:59, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Road to... episodes to Category:Family Guy episodes
- Nominator's rationale: Merge - artificial and arbitrary subset of Family Guy episodes based on shared name characteristic. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- They're actually structurally similar, in that they all focus on Brian and Stewie road trips in the [skewed] spirit of the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby flicks. But the fact that they all start with "Road to..." means that they will alphabetically sort together anyway, so this is a completely useless category. So merge per me. postdlf (talk) 21:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

- Category:Wine cocktails ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Category:Cocktails with wine, sparkling wine, or port ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant to Category:Cocktails with wine, sparkling wine, or port. Cocktails with wine, sparkling wine, or port follows the apparant naming conventions for cocktail lists, this doesn't Purplebackpack89 17:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

- Sure, if we created the category. As of right now, I BOLDly moved all the items in Category:Wine cocktails to Category:Cocktails with wine, sparkling wine, or port. You can just CfR that to Category:Cocktails with wine to complete the cycle Purplebackpack89 18:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- OK (modified nom) Delete Category:Wine cocktails; rename Category:Cocktails with wine, sparkling wine, or port to the simpler Category:Cocktails with wine (as sparkling wine is wine and port is fortified wine). Occuli (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

- Delete/upmerge as POV; saints of religions other than Christianity are not defined by being not Christian, nor are Christian saints more special than Hindu or Sikh saints. postdlf (talk) 05:33, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Comment no real objections to deletion/upmerging. The reason I think the category was created was because of the comparative lack of stress/attention given the word in other religions. And in Hindu "saints" are generally more accurately "sants", with the mistranslation being the result of Western bias of a sort. I do think that people going to the Category:Saints are much much more likely to be looking for Christian saints, and, on that basis, some sort of naming guideline might apply. It's a reason, even if not a particularly good one. John Carter (talk) 15:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

- Category:American beauty pageant winners ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Redundant to pre-existing categories, don't see the need for the umbrella here, especially for the individual biographies. See also previous CFDs here and here PageantUpdater talk • contribs 00:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Keep: Category is part of a larger scheme, grouped by nationality and no different than nationality-based categorization for actors, musicians, artists, etc. Previous CfD results (such as here and here) have supported such categorization. Getting rid of this cat would leave American beauty pageant titleholder articles scattered under what are essentially performers-by-performance categories (winners or participants of specific pageants) with no common umbrella based on nationality when nationality is pivotal for defining contestants/winners. Removing all nationality categorization (which I think would then have to happen) would basically erase the only pageantry category structure that a great number of articles fall under, as many - or maybe even most - countries don't have categorization based on their specific pageants like the U.S. does.

- Keep per very thorough explanation by Mbinebri. (I don't think you left anything for me to say... ) Cgingold (talk) 02:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Comment fair enough, but why do the individuals need this category as well as the encomapssing cats? Isn't that doubling up? I can see why it would be useful to have the subcats under this but I strongly disagree that the biographies themselves need this. They have the more specific categories which can then themselves be placed into other cats. For example, you wouldn't put someone in (to quote a recent example) Category:People from Iowa and Category:People from Scott County, Iowa so why would you do it here? PageantUpdater talk • contribs 03:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- You mean that Donna Axum (say) does not need to be categorised both as American and 'Miss America winner'. The usual procedure would be to remove the larger category from her article. (There will be others who are American but have won 'Miss SomewhereElse', presumably through residence or descent.) Occuli (talk) 09:39, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- If you're replying to me, I'm scompletely agree with you... I think you read my comment the wrong way! My whole objection to the category is that someone like Donna Axum has been put in both categories, she should be under "Miss America winners" NOT both categories. The larger "American beauty pageant winners" is completely redundant in all the biographies. PageantUpdater talk • contribs 09:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- So remove Donna Axum etc from Category:American beauty pageant winners. Deleting the category has more profound effects than just removing it from the articles, as it removes it from all its child categories as well (where it is certainly not redundant). Occuli (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- OK so what's the process in reaching a decision that that is the best course... what should I change my nomination to? Because it's not a merge or a rename. I'm of the view that consensus should be reached as to that course before I attempt to remove from the articles (especially since it's been years since I tried to use AWB) so that they aren't re-added. Sorry, it's a bit above my head! PageantUpdater talk • contribs 11:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- There is no process - remove the category, it's merely an article edit. You are incorrect however: Ezina LeBlanc is in no other subcat and there are many like this. Occuli (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Please also see my comment below before removing it even where the article is in a subcat. postdlf (talk) 13:29, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- postdlf's comment below is actually querying the validity of the subcat condition, which is not really a matter for cfd either. Is Miss USA always American? Is a delegate to Miss USA always a 'an American beauty pageant winner' (have all delegates won a state or other competition?) Certainly if A is valid subcat of B, then an article is usually put in A and not B as well. Occuli (talk) 14:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Keep-per Mbinebri.[See below] Occuli (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)- Comment. Is the winner of an American beauty pageant, such as Category:Miss USA, necessarily an American who has won a beauty pageant? If not, then this isn't redundant to any pageant-specific categories. postdlf (talk) 12:57, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

- Comment It is user:Mbinebri who is causing this problem by adding redundant categories contrary to WP:CAT (eg this diff) and then reverting their removal. Occuli (talk) 14:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- It isn't clear that they're redundant. Is the winner of an American beauty pageant necessarily an American? postdlf (talk) 15:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I readily admit to being responsible for virtually all nationality-based categorization for pageant titleholders, not just American - it's been my effort to apply a very common category system to a largely disorganized or completely uncategorized collection of articles. I see no "problem" in doing so. I'll also add that the nationality cats should be kept in bios because pageant winners are often notable for pageant wins beyond the one pageant they're being categorized in. For example, Occuli removed the cat here pre-consensus; he/she will claim it's redundant, but to me it's not, as the subject has won other pageants and is thus defined by being an American beauty pageant winner overall, not just by a single pageant win. Mbinebri talk ← 15:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Mbinebri is not disputing whether Category:Miss America winners is a subcat of Category:American beauty pageant winners (it seems to me more than likely that it is) but wishes to place Vonda Kay Van Dyke in both Category:Miss America winners and Category:American beauty pageant winners], contrary to WP:CAT#Categorizing pages: "if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below." There is no reason that I can see for this to be an exception. Occuli (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- His argument is that it should be viewed as a non-diffusing subcategory because winning a particular pageant does not fully encapsulate their career as American beauty pageant winners; they may have won other pageants that may not merit categories, for example. My point has been more that the broader pageant winner category seems the equivalent of a career by nationality category, while the ones for winners of specific pageants are more akin to awards categories, so I doubt they are even appropriate subcategories. One is for Americans who won things, the other is for winners of American things. Maybe all of these pageants have U.S. citizenship requirements; I don't know, and no one has established that. If so, then they are proper subcategories, and we then turn to Mbinebri's argument as I have summarized to determine whether they should be treated as non-diffuse subcategories. But if the winners are not restricted to American citizenship (regardless of how many in practice have been Americans), then categories such as Category:Miss America winners should be removed from Category:American beauty pageant winners and moved to something like Category:Winners of beauty pageants in the United States, and articles should be placed in the nationality category and the award category. postdlf (talk) 16:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- It is Mbinebri who has created these supracats, to include the previously existing Miss Foo winners cats. It is also Mbinebri who has decided upon the category inclusions, so we have for instance Category:English beauty pageant winners parent of Category:Miss England winners (which is incorrect since at least one is British rather than English). Mbinebri has made no effort to make Category:English beauty pageant winners into a non-diffuse category; so is there something special about Americans to make their beauty queens non-diffusible?

- It's not about him; he doesn't own the categories, and they stand or fall on their own merit regardless of his intent for them. postdlf (talk) 15:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- This accusatory tone is unfortunately starting to make things look bad faith on Occuli's part. Mbinebri talk ← 17:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- (a) Keep per Mbinebri. (b) Do not categorise articles in both this category and any of its subcategories. (c) Discuss somewhere else whether the subcats are valid subcats. (Perhaps we need Category:Miss America winners by nationality.) Occuli (talk) 16:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. Courcelles 02:49, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:The Price Is Right pricing games to Category:The Price Is Right
- Nominator's rationale: Since only two games have proven notable enough for their own pages, there's really no need for them to be in their own subcategory. They can easily be categorized in the main TPIR category. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 00:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Though I am amused that I knew, even before clicking on the category, that one of the two games in question would be Plinko. Bearcat (talk) 04:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
