Category:Greek directors

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: keep. The category was not tagged. That said, I've moved all the individual articles into Category:Greek theatre directors and Category:Greek film directors, and moved both of those categories into this one. The Category:DIrectors by nationality category contains several categories like this one, so this has ample reason to be retained.--Mike Selinker (talk) 05:58, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming:
Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: All of these categories were brought up for discussion on March 3, 2010 because at the time, the Arena Football League from 1987–2008 was considered to be a seperate entity from the league that was formed in 2009, launched as "Arena Football 1" but later renamed "Arena Football League". Since that time, a discussion in late August resulted in a consensus that the "old" AFL and "new" AFL was in fact the same AFL, and the articles that the AFL article had been split into were merged back together. However these categories remain split up, which is why I propose they be renamed or merged back together, whichever case is necessary. Tampabay721 (talk) 00:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn as moot - category is now populated. I will say that I'm a bit shocked and disappointed that several users would support keeping in the face of policy, however. 69.59.200.77 (talk) 17:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:International military aircraft 2010-2019 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Speedy delete per WP:CSD#C1 - Empty category that has been empty for more than 4 days, and doesn't meet any of the exceptions. I tried tagging it for speedy, but have been reverted twice by users who claim the category is "useful". It would be useful if populated, but until this category is ready to populate it shouldn't have been created. Note that even a "keep" result here won't prevent this from meeting the speedy deletion criteria, so this seems rather pointless, although ANI told me to come here. This is no different from any other category that has been empty for 4 days that doesn't meet the exceptions to C1, and so should be deleted, no matter how great the category might be if populated. No prejudice to recreating it if/when populated. 69.59.200.77 (talk) 00:00, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – the nom is entirely correct. There's not much point in having a category which merely announces that there are as yet no International military aircraft in the 2010s. The empty category tag is also inappropriately placed: that is for maintenance categories which ought to be empty. Occuli (talk) 00:34, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The C1 deletion criteria exists, I gather, because retaining empty categories causes clutter and confusion for users looking through categories to find something. So, deletion of this would be working towards the goal of avoiding that. Other than that, no, I have no problems with the merits of the category. 69.59.200.77 (talk) 00:42, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep part of a chronological series; WP:IAR. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 10:53, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Although there are no pages or subcategories in the category, the template {{Milairnd}} is in there, which links to Category:Russian military aircraft 2010-2019, which does have content. So even though its main usefulness will be in the future, it is already slightly useful now for navigation to/from related categories. In a series like this, a non-existent category for a current time period might cause more confusion than a category that only links to other articles indirectly. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This category is part of a large reorganization of categories that was decided by consensus over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft over many months. I previously invited the nominator to discuss this over there at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft so he could understand the issues, but he declined to do so. As a note I have informed both Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft of this discussion so as to get the fullest possible debate and consensus. Also in response to the nominator's comment "Note that even a "keep" result here won't prevent this from meeting the speedy deletion criteria, so this seems rather pointless" - this is not correct as consensus here will overrule the CSD criteria. See also WP:IAR as what we are trying to accomplish is the building of an encyclopedia, not slavish adherence to rules that hinder that goal. - Ahunt (talk) 16:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - First, apologies for my improper removal of the CSD tag, I hadn't even realised that I had created the category in the first place it's been so long. Secondly, as noted above, this is part of an overall tree of categories (and when I created the category, there was an article in it, which was my whole point of creating it. I don't remember what the aircraft was, but clearly somebody moved it out of the category at some point - wonder why?). - The Bushranger One ping only 17:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think this can be wrapped up as the category is no longer empty and therefore there is no reason to delete it. - Ahunt (talk) 21:09, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
